universe and governor ron desantis has shown himself to be full command of it and for that reason, tomorrow night orlando to host a live town hall. florida and the american comeback. the governor desantis will be with us the entire hour and will be joined by current disney employees by the active turn and a lot of other special surprises. tune in tomorrow and greg gutfeld is next. >> carley: fox news alert, billions of taxpayer dollars being used to push critical race theory in school. >> todd: the money which was included in president biden's covid relief package now being used in blue states to implement antiracism with bias. you are watching "fox & friends first" on thursday morning i'm todd piro. >> carley: carley shimkus. take a look at these numbers, california used $15 billion to include training such as antibias strategies and lgbqt

plus competency. >> todd: new york spent $9 billion to put diversity, equity and inclusion at the heart and illinois was given $5 billion, which allowed them to put a emphasis on equity and diversity in school districts. like i said, the american rescue plan was built as vital to save american lives. turns out it was vital to keeping crt front and center in your kids school. >> carley: this is exactly right. and this story combines two things that a lot of people are worried about. first of all, covid relief spending and the fact that it is being used to push critical race theory in classrooms is next level. we did note that the american rescue plan money, two things that was not covid related like golf courses and amusement parks in the entire associated press report that exposed to that.

but the fact that this is being used to do something political in the name of getting classrooms back open is a huge eye-opener this morning. >> todd: let's not forget that so many people including so many we interviewed on this fairy show lost everything, lost their entire livelihood because of democrat covid restrictions. and yet, this money, this money is being used to simply indoctrinate a new generation. basically it is woke training to get these kids to become the activists of tomorrow. if i ran a restaurant and i lost that restaurant because i could not get covid relief at the beginning of the pandemic, yet, billions upon billions of dollars are used for this stuff come i would be more livid than i was over the course of the last years. >> carley: you think about what happened in virginia. it goes back to loudoun county and that really been ground zero of the fight against critical race theory in schools and help

governor glenn youngkin basically won on that issue alone. i mean, that was his number one focus. the fact that this is happening, yes, in other liberal states across the country, but there are conservative parents who live in those states. and this is a lot of money. this is a lot of taxpayer dollars. it is exactly what people are talking about about too much government spending not knowing what is in these bills. and then after the fact, you find out that covid pandemic money in schools that were fighting to stay closed, not being used for ppe or ventilation but for the purposes of critical race theory. it is unbelievable. >> todd: it is not just conservative parents. >> carley: that is true. >> todd: in virginia, democrat parents were fired up about the crt step. you better believe there are a lot of democrat parents out there this morning waking up and hearing this news that taxpayer dollars went to shenanigans and what you see on your screen in these liberal states. i know, they probably voted

democrats their entire lives. but what you see on your screen billions of their dollars going to crt in all likelihood will switch a lot of them upcoming midterm elections. you can't understand why anybody would vote for this. >> carley: people are voting with their feet as well. california, illinois, new york stating maybe it's time to make a move out of the state. another fox news alert, secretary alejandro mayorkas for clement the border crisis is under control. many republicans are calling on him to resign on future impeachment. >> todd: douglas eder in washington. >> good morning a rough day yesterday and warm up for today. alejandro mayorkas will be back on capitol hill later this morning to testify before the house judiciary committee. that followed yesterday's appearance when he claimed the border is effectively managed. >> we inherited a broken and dismantled system that is

already under strain. it is not built to manage the current levels and types of migratory flows and only congress can fix this. we have effectively managed an unprecedented number of citizens seeking to enter the united states. >> okay the numbers at the border already through the roof and mayorkas is defending a decision by the biden on temporary hold by a judge to lift title 42 pandemic restrictions at the border next month. he admits though that this will create a new groundswell of illegal immigration. >> i make god to man. on the moment. we've been called upon to resign by myself and others. next year we will have the majority in this committee which we shall. you are still in office and you will face impeachment. >> deportations plummeted while illegal immigration skyrocketed.

and that is only possible because secretory mayorkas did not enforce the law. i bow don't make vow to you will use oversight with secretary mayorkas disregard for federal law. >> now mayorkas said he had the six-point plan to deal with the border crisis including surging regular workers from the veterans administration and elsewhere to the southern border. he also said he offered to shut down former president trump's border wall. the plan has cost $72 million, todd and carley. >> carley: douglas luzader thank you so much for that. $17 million to shut down the wall for political reasons. that means we bought the supplies to build that wall, $72 million of taxpayer money. and it went to waste. some of it, they are say is rotting along the southern border. and keep in mind that president biden voted in 2006 for the secure fence act, which paid for 600 miles of border

fence. so, the wall was not a new idea. in 2006, president biden supported it. at that time, a lot of democrat said it didn't go far enough. >> todd: may i state the obvious? if you don't want to waste $72 million, i don't know, build the wall with somebody? getting to the overall issue here, mayorkas said this administration has "effectively manage the situation." if this is effective management, corley my shudder to think what the opposite is peer of the solutions, we have people on the show all the time that go through the solutions manpower border patrol, build a wall, specific location so you can more effectively manage what's going on. let i.c.e. do his job to keep title 42 and remain in new mexico. nonetheless this administration consistently says we can't solve this. this is all in congress his hands. it is not. it is squarely in your pocket.

you call it a crisis and you need to solve it. >> carley: and the fact that mayorkas said he effectively manage the border wall less than a week after bishop evans died. trying to save two migrants lives and the casket being carried by other texas national guard meant would have moved the needle and some sort of way, but it has not appeared for him to say that the border situation has been effectively managed after the death of an american hero is pretty stunning. >> todd: we will have congressman pat phelan and carlos gimenez on to respond to the contentious mayorkas later this morning. you don't want to hear that. >> carley: more to come on that. russian vladimir putin to speak about retaliation against any nation that stands in moscow's way in ukraine. >> todd: meantime international community scrambling to get humanitarian relief to the devastated city of mariupol. >> carley: live in lviv, matt.

bickel president zelenskyy gave a speech marking the 36 anniversary this week of the chernobyl disaster and made a call for global control of russia's nuclear weapons while a former defense intelligence agent tells fox news that call might have been reckless and it's only going to anger vladimir putin who gave yet another concerning a warning to any country that assist ukraine. >> if someone intends to intervene from the outside and create strategic threats, they should know that our retaliatory will be lightning fast. we have all the tools for this. >> todd: in the u.s. secretary of defense lloyd austin tells fox news despite rs ongoing nuclear threat, he does not think this will all end in nuclear war. and in mary opal, the one courtr leveled and ukraine commander

sheltering underground for weekw video saying there are hundreds of marines and ultimately injured people who are in that standoff with the russians. >> in just a few words, there are more than 600 wounded in our unit. the winds are very serious. they need medical attention in hear, hear there are no conditions, no medications or personnel to help them hear there are also 100 civilians who tried to help as much as we can. >> 10:45 a.m. eastern time this morning to my president biden is expected to address the crisis here in ukraine. back to you guys in new york. >> carley: maps, some good news to report former marine was released from russia yesterday. what do you know about that? speak with the timing of this exchange with russia is something. we know former new mexico governor and former ambassador bill richardson flew to moscow the day before the ukraine invasion in february ultimately

resulting in a prison exchange yesterday. a russian pilot with churches in the u.s. for 30-year-old trevor reed who was imprisoned by russia for allegedly assaulting officer. here is his mother. >> we got a second phone call any had not eaten and had no fluids in him but he was his happy self and happy-go-lucky. he has on a plane, but i think we are really going to -- it is really going to hit us when we put our arms around him. >> and it is worth noting wnba and paul welland still remain in jail in russia. back to you guys. >> todd: matt finn, thank you for the update. with that let's bring in daniel hoffman, former cia states station chief and i want to focus on the intel community but how is the intel community with

this latest rhetoric from vladimir putin and don't test us. we got nukes. >> i think there were two facts to vladimir putin in petersburg. first come over messaging on the part of vladimir putin. he knows president biden has expressed concern over world war iii. those are the president's terms if fresh and the united states to engage in direct conflict with one another. putin is seeking to deter the united states and nato allies from providing the military assistance that ukraine depends on to carry on the fight. putin is not succeeding at that. we are providing massive amounts of military aid, phoenix ghost drones system with lethal capability, tanks, helicopters, the list goes on. but rush is very concerned. the other facet of this the intelligence community has to be focused on is what is really

going on inside the kremlin and the russian military and how serious russia might be about using weapons of mass destruction, including nuclear weapons on the battlefield given the poor performance of the russian military. >> carley: there has been concern of russia using nuclear weapons and so far thank god that hasn't been the case. do you think that putin's bark is worse than his bite or is this a legitimate concern? >> i think we have to take it as a legitimate concern here this is why putin's war is running downhill on ukrainian pavilions. i think it is important for president biden to get up on the bully pulpit today and i hope he does and emphasized to the russian military that this can stop here that we can get back to a relatively normal relationship with russia or at least on a path to that. if the russian military stops taking orders from the guy in the kremlin to watch these barbaric attacks against ukraine citizens and their cities.

and i think, again, this is very high, very important for the intelligence community to track putin intentions at this time and how his inner circle is responding. >> todd: absolutely frightening and chilling as the white house family on a rant having a nuclear weapon within weeks. here is the white house. >> that nuclear program which had pushed back the breakout time to a year in terms of being able to produce the weapon, that is down to a matter of weeks. their program -- >> yes, it worries us and rapidly reduce cooperation international specters nonperformance of iran nuclear deal commitment. >> todd: you heard them, dan, why, oh, why is the white house not doing anything to stop this from happening? the white house, and i should add, democrats in congress, all who want jcp i ended.

>> the jcpoa was a bad deal and even chuck schumer democrats from new york did not support it but we all know about the sunset clauses and the fact it did not deal with iran missile capability and state sponsorship of terrorism. it is true after the trump administration withdrew from that bad deal, iran enriched uranium and stockpiled uranium at levels not allowed by the jcpoa and denied inspectors access to the facility. some of what we have done, you know, we have not been able to deter iran with carrying forward with a nuclear program. even israel reportedly key, caring out a nuclear program that didn't stop the program either. and i think this administration is on the hook to have a plan. because we all know iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. but what is the plan to prevent them from doing so? i think we are in the dark about that. returning to this idea we could have a jcpoa especially when iran is demanding we delist the

ir gc which the trump administration really correctly put on the state sponsorship of terrorism and iran is demanding we pull back on that. i think that would be a horrifically bad stop on our part to. >> carley: so iran will acquire nuclear weapons within weeks. they are the number one state sponsor of terrorism. how nervous should america be that they could use that weapon against us? >> well, the fact that they have a breakout. mike of three weeks is very disconcerting. the first impact you will feel is the region. saudi arabia and other nations will certainly look to build out their own nuclear program. then iran will be able to launch attacks using their proxy militia hezbollah, yemen, proxy militia in iraq was even greater impunity knowing they have the nuclear capability. look what russia has done with their nuclear weapons, tacking their neighbor and changing the border by force, knowing full well regime change is not

possible because they have the nuclear weapons to deter an attack. that is a major issue for u.s. national security. >> carley: the fact we are relying on russia to negotiate the iran nuclear deal is another wild fact of the story as well. dan, thank you for joining us this morning. we do appreciate it. house republicans are pushing for documents from hunter biden's business partners who reportedly visited the white house dozens of times during the obama era. >> todd: despite emails and logs revealing the president's relationship with his son's associate, the white house continues to deny his involvement. brooke singman live in washington, broke. >> good morning, carley, taught house republicans calling for eric square and to share his records related to president biden. at the request comes as reports say that of hunters visited the white house 27 times during the obama administration while joe biden was president and 15

house republicans to the extent president biden was indebted to hunter from a man whose livelihood dependent on foreign nations, he may be indebted to country is not aligned with the u.s. interest. it is paramount that they investigate whether they are our national security implications to hunter biden fronting his father. the liver also comes as the daily mail reports emails from 2019 that indicate president biden agreed to pay his son's legal fees for his business dealings with the chinese control company, but the white house maintains the president is and was in the dark, listen. >> the president said over and over again, -- has he ever spoken to his business partners about the deal? >> again nothing has changed what i said yesterday and we do not get involved in the business dealings at this time. >> even the business partners? >> nothing has changed from yesterday. >> the record request by g.o.p. lawmakers said eric schwerin could take a subpoena if they

take the house majority next year, back to you guys. >> todd: broke, thank you president biden to tackle this information ahead of the of the midterms and ran by a so-called russian disinformation expert who previously called the hunter biden laptop story a trump campaign product. so again, maybe not so external. opposing elon musk take taking twitter over censorship on the platform. >> carley: and elon must move the company out of california. joining us live with the details marianne rafferty. >> good morning todd, carley, elon must said to restore public confidence the platform has to allow free speech for all. a recent tweet, to deserve public trust it must be politically neutral which means upsetting the far right in the far left

and musk 86 million followers targeting twitter's top lawyer who defended the top decision to ban accounts and tweets to spread misinformation. 99% of political donations from twitter employees go to democrats. according to federal elections commission's records, leaving republicans to conform left-wing bias. >> the people who run twitter are intolerant, they are intemperate, and they are also not normal americans. they believe, for example, that kid should be able to change their gender recess. this is america and you can believe what you want, but they can't and shouldn't censor those on twitter who disagree with them. >> and republican politicians also urging musk what he's done with the other companies and move twitter out of california to a more tax friendly and lower

cost of living red state. jacksonville, florida, the mayo clinic tweeting for the invitation is open, come on elon musk and jimmy petrone is spirit and greg abbott said bring twitter to texas join tesla, and the other company. the left wing organization has the authority to block his deal because of startling that was rejected by the agency's commissioner calling that idea "absurd." back to you guys. >> todd: marianne thank you. people are leaving. san francisco grows because they don't feel safe anymore. one actress to save his city joins us next. >> carley: and one city to another, mayor eric adams want new yorkers to email him photos if they see a cop using a cell phone. the president of the nypd is absolutely furious about this. he will be here later with a message for the mayor.

perfect. if you're gonna work remote... work remote. find new workspaces. find new roads. these folks don't have time to go to the post office. they use stamps.com all the services of the post office only cheaper get a 4-week trial plus postage and a digital scale go to stamps.com/tv and never go to the post office again.

>> todd: welcome back a 14-year-old charged as an adult held on a $1 million bond in the killing of 10-year-old lily peters. the teen appeared in court yesterday and only identified by his initials. the boy is charged with homicide

and sexual assault and faces the possibility of life in prison. peter's body found monday in the woods near her aunt's house after father reported her missing the day before. new york city police unions are inferior areas of mayor adams who wants the public, yeah, the public to crack down on law enforcement. the democrat wants to keep tabs on transit cops using their phones. >> we are going to start taking very aggressive action to make sure that police are patrolling our subway system and not patrolling their iphone. new yorkers, you see that, send me a photo and i will be at that station. we went the mayor's call comes as crime up 42.8% over the city. nypd detectives union paul joins us next hour and says we should be taking photos of people committing crimes but instead it seems logical to me, carley. >> carley: san francisco crime

crisis rages on many residents say theyey have had enough with the population plummeting by over 100,000 residents. assaults, theft, homicides increased in the golden city on top of the widespread homelessness and drug overdoses. community advocate richie greenberg a longtime resident calling out city leadership as he fights to save his beloved city. richie, good morning to you. you are a rare breed in san francisco, a republican. what are you doing to try to save san francisco? >> well, hi, thank you for having me this morning, carley. actually, i'm joining multiple people here. we have a dozen or so activists who all of us together have been just devastated by what is happening here to read republican, democrat, independent, such as myself, and you know, we were having quite a bit of trouble over the years trying to get elected because in

a city like san francisco, which is famous nationwide or globally, we are being so liberal, so left. the ability for any of us to actually get elected is all but zero but we are finding now, finally, that we have political clout by getting political donations with political action committee. that is where we are fighting back. >> carley: so you are trying to save san francisco by changing the politics of it, is that right? >> that is correct because if we cannot meet the candidates that are running for office because they are so, so extreme to the left, the only other way we can do anything is by putting ballot measures, doing a recall, for example, as most people know two months ago we successfully recalled three of the most extreme school board members. and now in a matter of four or five weeks, the district

attorney, jessica bodine will be recalled as well. >> carley: i was going to ask you about that because i read to spokesman for the committee who is notoriously at the soft crime d.a. in san francisco. that recall is going to take place on june 7th. how has that effort to recall him? >> you know, there was a call that came out a month ago that shows san francisco are poised to recall him almost 70%, which is fantastic. we are really, really happy about that. the thing is though, we want to ensure that san francisco actually do go to the polls and they do vote on the recall. we want to ensure it's not just a phone pole and they get complete and don't show up and vote. we want to ensure that jessica

bodine is recalled in a landslide. >> carley: 144 drug overdose reported between january, march 65% of those fence and all related to peer there is so much going on in san francisco right now. you are one of the people trying to chip away at it. richie, thank you for joining us. >> thank you so much for having me, my pleasure. >> carley: good stuff. billions of your taxpayer dollars used to push critical race theory and schools. >> todd: the president of parents here to react to this brand-new report. do not go anywhere.

rescue plan in 2021 and provided over $122 billion for elementary and secondary schools, over $46 million allocated to 36 states to include programs on implicit bias, ethnic studies, lgbtq d competency and antiracism training. of course, democrat leaders say the american rescue plan is a matter of life and death. with that, let's bring in defending education founder, nicole neily, this was published hours ago. what is your reaction? >> what is appalling and it is also unsurprising. i mean, let's look at the department the used in 2021 when they passed this. any of us thought it was going to be used for masks, air purifiers to keep the schools open appeared we were told by senator raphael warnock this is a matter of life and death. the department sang we want to address social, mental aid and

address in equities. tobit is kind of framework where you don't understand what the department is going for. i'm not surprised the blue states have been using these programs to push their social justice agenda. >> todd: let's take a look at the numbers and drill down. a california awarding $15.1 billion and look what they used it for appeared a lot of woke stuff. new york $9 billion, illinois $5.1 billion. nicole, if i'm a restaurant owner and with the states called by the democratic to shut down come i have to shut down, no choice, otherwise i will go to jail. and i lost my livelihood because of this, billions of billions of dollars put into these schools to turn my kids into an activist, what is my reaction this morning? >> what is appalling and it is sickening. we have inflation going through the brick because the federal government printing money to advance their agenda. social emotional learning sounds great. of course we want our children to be emotionally aware, but we actually look at what these programs are.

these are critical race theory. we have people like pushing transformative and talking about cultural responsive and things like implicit bias. of course they will trip him because that is exactly what this department of education wants to do. and these education bureaucrats at the state and local level want to do. >> todd: meantime your organization and passive right group sending a letter to secretary it education not to rewrite the trump era title nine policy. explain what this fight is really all about. >> sure here and so in 2020, betsy devos and trump administration put in place terrific safeguards that protected students and other administrators due process rights, strength and free speech protections that have been trampled by the biden administration, title 19 discriminates on the basis of

sex to be rewritten. gender identity in the spirit which means schools and individuals now have to push forward the social justice agenda. if this has something the department of education wants to do, then they have to have congress reread the statute. this is not something the administration can do with a pen and a phone as many opponents in the fight want to do. >> todd: how disastrous would this be, quite frankly, for little girls if this goes through? >> right. it is horrifying. what is going to happen is we are going to see safety issues come up. we see this in sports issues, women as biological males and the loss of privacy, single-sex from restrooms to locker rooms to even overnight field trips students will have to be housed with other people with whom they identify. so come i think a lot of parents, grandparents have significant concerns that are

justifiable concerns. people who expressed worry about this are called bigots, trance folds and that's not true. i think parents want to know what is going on and families are being cut out of the regular basis from issues like this in schools and so we wanted to flag for the administration 390,000 people want these rules to not be changed. >> todd: the small minority activist, nicole, who wants these changes? >> it is a great question, we see these agendas with active organizations, the trevor project, human rights campaign but again as you imply, this is a small group of activists. this is not representative of the vast majority of americans who if this is a change the government wants to make should do it through the proper process, not through administrative action. >> todd: has a parent of a little girl i'm freaked out about this. nicole neily we appreciate your insight on this, thank you very much, carley. >> carley: the g.o.p. senators

sounding the alarm on president biden's plan to forgive student loan debt as they also push a bill to end an ability to keep extending the pause on payments. >> this clearly regressive policy benefits high debt, high income borrowers, significantly more than low debt and low income bars. >> other republicans like congressman jim jordan calling students forgiveness a stupid idea. one that g.o.p. members of the house education committee say could lead to a $13,000 tax hike per person. progressives pushing for student debt cancellation agenda for months lashing out at the criticism on the right. the biden administration yet to provide specifics on how the plan would work or if they are going to go that route. certainly controversial there. >> todd: the courts will have something to say about this if they tried. >> carley: for g.o.p. lawmakers say this white house billing to tackle the border

doj lawsuit is about getting clarity on the fact. this week him america was out of the covid-19 pandemic. >> i want to clarify one thing, jen psaki come i should have said the cute component of the pandemic phase. and i think i understand how that can lead to some misinterpretation. as the pandemic still here? absolutely. >> todd: and not just dr. fauci, democrats failed to deliver a clear message on mandates. dr. carlson thinks he knows what is behind the back and listen. >> why is it changing his tune now? midterm elections are approaching and it turns out masked mandates and lock bands are not very popular so we need to get rid of them, says the democratic party. but here's the problem, if we declare the pandemic is over, then we can't justify keeping title 42. they dropped title 42, you get a human weight but not new mexico or el salvador but the rest of the world. if that were to happen the

democrats would be in deeper trouble than they already are improbably and the majority in the senate because of unrestricted migration and illegal migration is as popular as masked mandates. >> carley: homeland security ella hunter romaine headed back to the hot seat today after facg criticism from g.o.p. lawmakers for his failure to control the border crisis including this intense exchange. >> anybody in under any circumstance is okay. this country will pay a price as never before. >> congressman, you have so grotesquely mischaracterized my position on the issues. >> your actions prove different, mr. secretary. >> carley: joining me now cumbersome and pat fallon armed services committee, good morning to you congressman. mayorkas said yesterday the

biden administration has effectively managed the border crisis. so, do you feel better? >> carley, that's break down effectively manage for a second. for the first time in our history caney, have 13 months in a row the border crossings, first time in our history that 2 million border crossings in a calendar year. we have a record number of migrants crossing in a record number of illegal narcotics, and 100,000 last year due to the opioid, mexican drug cartels polluting our nation here that is his definition of effectively managed? that is disgusting and grotesque to use his attitude when he had the exchange with my colleague. it is -- sorry go ahead. >> carley: i was going to say 50 democratic colleagues who agree with the message that you are sending, including congresswoman elyse walken from michigan. here is what she had to say.

watch this. >> our immigration system is broken. democrats and republicans on that. right now, democrats have the house, the senate and the white house and have done nothing to get comprehensive immigration reform. and you know, congressman i was thinking back to january 2021 in the first thing president biden did was to get rid of remain in mexico and free deportation for the first 100 days. that sent a signal around the world come on over here at our borders are open. >> right. there's been a recent conversion as you just mentioned with the democratic colleague at least 50 of them but you have to question whether this is politics or policy. midterm election by all accounts they will do poorly in six months from now, so they can sign the discharge in the house to get a bill to the floor. i don't believe have any yet. maybe henry cuellar from texas but the rest, all words.

and not just myself but all 535 members of congress, the house and the senate. don't believe a word we say. look at how we do what we vote. that is what i would ask the american people to do. >> carley: are you going to vote on this issue to make title 42 permanent, or maybe something with dreamers versus border security. what is the congressional conversation like right now? >> well, that is a great point. and also blame congress. who runs congress right now? the democratic party controls both chambers. if they bring that to the floor, every republican will vote for it. and apparently may be at least 50 democrats. they only have a nine seat majority in the house and evenly split 50/50. they don't need any democrat to vote with us. but they just called 50 and they don't do -- we have right now the border patrol will tell us have 3500 illegal border crossings in a day, stretching

the resources to the limit. anything more than that there will be on the border unmanned. we have 9,000 a day so the cartels will be clever. $4,000 per migrant that crosses the border. doing the math $1 billion a month they were making just in human smuggling never mind the narcotics. so they will flood a sector with people and border patrol, processing them, transporting them, changing diapers, covid test and cartel bringing drugs across. we see record numbers of narcotics hitting the streets. >> todd: really quickly here, what will happen with title 42? a federal judge blocked it temporarily but what is next? >> well i hope that's upheld, quite frankly. this administration, quite frankly, don't respect the rule of law. and the migration protection has been ordered to be put in place. they are dragging their feet on that. so it will be interesting. such a backlash that we might

see title 42 remain in place and i hope that is the case. >> carley: congressman pat fallon thank you for joining us. >> thanks, carley, good luck. >> carley: american families struggling with rising prices so one group of officer decided to do something by handing out cash to pay for groceries there that inspiring act of kindness a straight ahead. >> todd: looking forward to that end joining us live on fox & friends first
