south for 2 hours and 10 minutes and we could see those with our own two eyeballs. >> ainsley: beautiful. i hope you are having a good morning. it's thursday, beautiful in new york. a little chilly but not too bad. >> brian: do you know who i think is jealous the rest of the milky way the galaxy. we have the best view. >> steve: unless you know of unless you have been to other planets. >> brian: jiewrnt that red dot. >> steve: i have seen jupiter. >> ainsley: is pluto still a planet. >> brian: i think it became a planet again last year. >> ainsley: i think so too. my very educated mother just served us nine pizzas. >> brian: i never learned that. >> ainsley: how did you learn the order? >> brian: i just grinded it out. >> steve: that tv shoft we are the third rock from the sun

that's you got your mercury and venus and then we are. >> ainsley: my very educated. >> brian: going to mars soon. elon musk. hopefully he will be on the show today. >> steve: meanwhile we start with a fox news alert. good news for trevor reed he is back on u.s. soil following high stakes prisoner exchange with russia. fox news obtained this video of the marine stepping off plane at non-disclosed location. his family greeting hill. reed's parents have worked tirelessly since his arrest summer of 2019. >> ainsley: accused of assaulting an officer had been drinking. weighs sentenced to 9 years in prison although his family and u.s. government has maintained he is innocent. >> brian: who did we swap him for. russian national working as a

pilot trafficking drugs. august meeting with reed earlier this morning he will join us. he looked pretty unsteady in the first shot. looks a little bit better now. evidently they are saying he might have tuberculosis. they are treating him. put him in solitary confinement. >> parents said he didn't look great. they are happy he is home. back on u.s. soil. 30 years old. a marine veteran. welcome home. >> steve: indeed. more later on that. in the meantime, talk a little bit about some fireworks on capitol hill yesterday. the department of homeland security secretary mayorkas was in front of two different committees on capitol hill. budget for budget hearings. yesterday, the homeland security committee and in particular the reason he was there and it's something we have been talking about is they wonder if when title 42 is, you know, goes away and there is going to be surge at the border, does the department of homeland security have enough money or is there

going to be a short fall? mayorkas yesterday said he is ready to request more money if the department of homeland security runs out of money. you know, right now, the crossings are running at decades high numbers each and every day. but, mr. mayorkas says that the crisis is being very effectively managed despite the fact that you see all those people, those families, those children wading across the rio grande. that's his model of effective management. >> ainsley: he said it's not our fault. we inherited this cdc has exclusive jurisdiction, it's up to you, congress, not us. listen. >> we inherited a broken and dismantled system that is already under strain. it is not built and managed current levels and types of migratory flows. only congress can fix this. we have effectively managed and unprecedented number of non-citizens seeking to enter the united states. the wall projects, the majority of them rest in the jurisdiction

of the army corps of engineer. those that ourselves control, i believe that the cost of discontinuing them is approximately $72 million. >> brian: that is an outrageous number and also wildly inaccurate. it is much more than that we are paying to let a wall that we bought rust. it's not just a wall. it is high tech technology around it there was extreme benefit to the overwhelmed border patrol from two, three years ago let alone now for him to sit up there and try to say that he is managing effectively and it's congress' problem for not doing comprehensive reform is laughable and it is -- just can get one so angry. and most of the country, this is an issue in a recent poll that shows most of the country, this is a second most important issue after inflation. and that's illegal immigration on our southern border that's about to get a whole lot worse. is he managing to set new records in ineptness.

what is sad is he is actually doing exactly what president biden and his advisers want. come one, come all. in numbers that we have not seen before. you saw some of the anger, is he going to get some today on the senate side. he got in front of two anies yesterday. listen to some of the outrage, we know mayorkas is flat out lying, listen. >> my god, man, own the moment. you have been called upon to resign by myself and others. next year, if we have the majority, in this committee which we shall, you are still in office? you will face impeachment. i ask you as a man, own this thing. >> we're losing our country down there. >> i couldn't disagree with you more. >> you are an idealogue that thinks letting anybody in under any circumstance is okay. and this country will pay a

price as has never before. and if as you say the border is more secure, what is your definition of insecure? >> congressman, you have so grotesquely mischaracterized my position. >> your actions prove different, mr. secretary. >> steve: it was an excellent question by mr. norman. the first fellow we saw in that montage of soundbites was clay higgins. he is a republican from louisiana. he is the guy who, if the republicans take the house, most probably would run the department -- the homeland security committee. so when he said you should resign of course mayorkas isn't going to do that because is he just following orders from h.q., he also said if we take the majority next year, you, sir, will face impeachment. >> ainsley: the numbers are just staggering.

you feel sorry for some of them. they are coming over when you see those images. think about this. we had rob o'neill on this week. it's been 11 years since they killed usama bin laden. he said when did we forget to never forget? he said 42 -- there have been 42 on the terrorist watch list that have come over under biden administration. all it takes one person to have another 9/11. how about fentanyl? how many parents do we interview on a weekly basis my child tried a small little pill one time. tried a xanax because his back hurt and it was laced with fentanyl. >> steve: what about the texas national guardsman bishop evans who earlier this week drowned. >> ainsley: trying to save. >> steve: somebody who is smuggling drugs into our country. how screwed up is that? >> brian: look at how many people have come across. by the way they also announced he said yesterday that there is 22 sex offenders that they got that came across. those were the ones that we got. >> ainsley: yeah. exactly. >> brian: chase them down walk

over and background they can that we know of through the american legal system. listen to this in 202,014.5 million. they estimated 14.5 million. that's probably wildly low, too. illegals in our country. it's up a million since this administration took over mayorkas allowing his reputation whatever he had to just get trampled on. number the two administration wants this. they don't even go down and check this out. they don't care about the border patrol. they don't care about who is overwhelmed. they don't care about the sex offenders. they don't care about the terrorists. they want come one, come all. they complained about well, the remain in mexico policy really made it dangerous for those remaining in mexico. excuse me, that's mexico's problem. that's a deal that worked out of that you were refusing to go by a judge's order to reimplement. the other thing to keep in mind, too. now you care about their station in life in mexico? what about the journey they are taking with human traffickers

and coyotes? a lot of times these are just kids leaving their parents that go thousands of miles to get into our country. you are only concerned about them when they encamp in mexico and the goal is to repel the movement. let them know when they get here they are not getting in. that will force them to go through the process normally. and legally or not at all. >> steve: here's the thing. the administration wants to pull the plug on title 42 as quickly as possible. because sooner they do it, the further they will be away from the midterm election. because the closer it gets to the midterms, more people are reminded of those images. nancy pelosi apparently is so frustrated by the fact that the senators could attach an amendment essentially blocking 42 from going out of business, she called up or spoke to in person ron klain, the chief of staff for the president. and said that apparently the senate could not stop a provision blocking title 42 from being added on to a bill.

because the republicans, you know, they open it up for amendments and stuff like that, they could tag it on to a ukrainian bill. they had talked about doing it to a covid bill. so, the republicans are pulling out all the stops and some democrats as well. title 42 keeping a lot of people from coming over. >> brian: at least 42 democrats. >> ainsley: when title 42 ends. dhs operational 5,000 a day. right now 7,000 day. they can't handle what is coming over now. imagine when it doubles on may 23rd. run out of fund in july once title 42 is lifted. march a alone 20 year high people apprehended. expecting that to go up as the weather gets warmer. what is this costing you? last year it's costing the american taxpayers $9.4 billion more. that's up to 143.1 billion per year. do you know what this includes?

public school costs, migrant schools, english language training, hospital stays, medicaid, law enforcement, welfare programs just to name a few. >> brian: it matters. you should take note of that still ahead. new data reveals billions of covid relief dollars being used to implement crt into classrooms. the shocking bait and switch impacting your child's school. >> ainsley: finally free. trevor reed is back on u.s. soil this morning. i wonder what he wants to eat first. after that prisoner swap with russia. the latest on his emotional return still ahead ♪ we could walk forever ♪ ( ♪♪ ) ♪ walking on ♪ ♪ walking on the moon ♪ ♪ some ♪ ♪ may say ♪ ♪ i'm wishing my days away ♪

finally set foot back on u.s. soil after being detained by russia ever since 2019. >> ainsley: high stakes prisoner swap with the kremlin. carried out despite high tensions surrounding the invasion of ukraine. >> brian: that plays into matt finn's report. >> obviously the timing of this swap is interesting and notable because russia is currently at war. we now know that the former new mexico governor and ambassador bill richmondson traveled to moscow one day before russia invaded in ukraine resulting in prisoner exchange yesterday. moscow released reed who was in a russian prisoner for allegedly assaulting an officer while drunk in exchange for a russian pilot locked up on drug charges. ride was reportedly on a month long hung everything strike. the united states called reed's original trial a quote theater of the absurd. here in ukraine gave a speech for the will 36th anniversary of

chernobyl. a reckless and call by zelenskyy. gave a warning yesterday to any country that assists ukraine. >> if someone intends to intervene in the ongoing events from the outside and create strategic threats for russia that are unacceptable to us, they should know that our retaliatory strikes will be lightning fast. we have all the tools for this. things no one else can boast about. >> u.s. secretary of defense lloyd austin was here in ukraine this week and tells fox news that despite russia's ongoing nuclear threat, desnot think all of this will end in nuclear war. austin calling out russia saying the nuclear rhetoric is dangerous. also new video from the city of kherson, ukraine says russian troops used tear gas and stun grenades to disperse a crowd of people protesting against

russia. russia did not bomb the city and leave. instead occupying the streets with soldiers. people are without food and water. and russia accuses ukraine yesterday of bombing tv facilities there to block russian state media. worth noting that wnba star britney griner and paul we land still remain locked up in russia. the biden administration says it will continue to work for the release of reland and other people. >> brian: russia totally overplayed their hand by telling bulgaria and poland we are cutting off oil and gas. poland made up for it a lot of it from norway. if you could flood bulgaria, the only way they are funding the war oil and gas. number one customers are europe. they are doing something that we have been trying to get europe to do. get them off oil and gas. this now is a bad overplay and if you are going to -- if american oil and gas can fill the difference, it would be a huge win. this thing would stop in a month if they have no oil and gas

revenue. >> ainsley: you are absolutely right, brian. we will have more on the prisoner swap. a congressman out of texas, this 30-year-old marine that's back on american soil, it's his constituent. he was there on the ground when he arrived into america, again, he will come on with us and tell us how he is doing this morning and how it all happened. >> steve: the congressman will be with us just about an hour from right now. let's get in the way back machine. remember last year when they were trying to get through congress, the american rescue plan, that multi trillion dollars bill. it was -- one of the things that the democrats were saying remember, it did pass zero republican support. they said we need the money to help reopen american schools. which sounds great. so many schools were closed and we wanted them open. so, we figured okay, that's for ventilation and heating to swap out the air. new windows. it's for ppe. it's for plexiglass, it's for spacing, it's for ventilation,

you name it now, this outfit called one nation has done a essentially a postmortem. they looked at how the money has been used. $122 billion went to schools and now we know that a lot of it actually was used for funds to push critical race theory in a number of states across the country. >> ainsley: look at this. a lot of money. california, you had to apply for this if you were a state and wanted this money. california applied. they were awarded $15.1 billion. and that included 1.5 billion for training resources for school staff regarding high need topics implicit bias training. >> steve: how does that reopen the school. >> ainsley: new york bait and switch. diversity, equity and inclusion into the heart of all local education agencies. illinois another example awarded 5.1 billion for reopening plan that implemented strategies with an emphasis on equity and

diversity. those are just the top three that got the most money that went to crt. but there are a lot of other states. >> brian: look at illinois you have to go and say what are you going to do with the money? this is what would get you the money by doing something that has nothing to do with the pandemic. in illinois they said they promised to have training topics on anti-racism that will definitely help with the pandemic. equities tilt, that's a huge relief and funds creating statewide conditions school district offer grants for addressing environmental i, ethic studies and lgbtq cultural competency. so, an increase educated training and resources on all those things. so educate the educators in order to tell the kids something that has nothing at all to do with the pandemic. this is why we are buried in debt that rescue plan was the single biggest culprit when it comes to the inflation we are dealing with right now. how many ever study says you care binflation more than

anything else in this country right now. >> steve: there was so much money in that plan. remember, after it hit hit the fan and suddenly a gigantic crime crisis after all the defund the police business, then the administration said, you know what? we gave states and cities so much money. take some of the money out of the american rescue plan and hire more cops. do whatever you want to with the money. well, obviously, this is also one of the things they did. they're indoctrinating kids. never get a good crisis to go waste. pushing the pandemic to do this. steven law is the guy who runs one nation and found out all this stuff. he found out this and ainsley you alluded to it a moment ago. it turns out biden's so-called rescue plan was a multi trillion dollars progressive shopping list a massive bait and switch for life-saving covid aid. indoctrinating kids judge themselves based on the color of their skin is wrong and has

nothing to do with fighting covid and getting our economy back on track. if it had to do with fighting covid or getting our economy back on track, everybody would be for that but are you for this? what they spent billions of dollars on. >> ainsley: the department of education says this report is not true. they say the department ♪ encouraging the use of american rescue plan funds to teach crt and any claim to the contrary is patently false. the department believes politicians should stay out of the curriculum decisions that are best made at the local level and engaged with parents, families and local school communities. >> brian: were these courses not taught? was that not on their application? it's on the application courses were taught, you can deny it all you want, but the facts tell a different story. meanwhile, president biden naming teacher of the year yesterday and thought would make it clear who is responsible for kids 8 hours a day 40 hours a week. listen. >> they are all our children. and the reason you are the teacher of the year you

recognize that they are not somebody else's children they are like yours when you are in the classroom. >> steve: so the children are yours when they are in the classroom he said to the teachers. >> ainsley: a lot of people are upset about that. remember, terry mcauliffe said something similar. parents should stay out of the classroom and he lost in virginia. >> steve: he did indeed. it is 6:26 here in new york city. carley joins us and she has a whole bunch of news. >> carley: i certainly do. starting with tragic update here. a 14-year-old is being charged as an adult and held on $1 million bond in the fatal strangling of wisconsin 10-year-old lily peters. the teen suspect appeared in in court remotely and only identified by his initials. the boy is charged with homicide and sexual assault. he faces the possibility of life in prison. peters body was found monday in the woods near her aunt's house in chippewa falls after her father reported her missing the

it says all these different apps and i asked an expert that works at fox and they said don't touch anything. you are fine. we looked into it. but they make you believe that i really need to change your password and i would 50 apps that i needed to change my password. >> steve: you got to wonder whether or not russia could possibly be behind what happened to chrome. stay tuned. they say that your browser will automatically update in the next couple of days. it's something. carley, thank you. >> carley: you are welcome. >> ainsley: fighting for faith on the football field. a high school coach took his battle all the way to the supreme court and that happened this week. he is going to join us live with an update ♪ ♪ trelegy for copd.

the field. does that mean you can't wear a yarmulke or a cross around your neck? >> absolutely. in fact it is a policy here really what the ninth circuit said here this is coercion by sight. the very fact that they can see coach kennedy engaged in what they call demonstrative religious activity is sufficient to terminate him from his job. even though they said there was no evidence of direct coercion of any student athlete by coach kennedy that would mean if a teacher bows her hair in prayer in the lunchroom and teachers can see her. that's enough to fire her or wear a cruise fix or yarmulke. even if they're off the and wearing branded school merchandise they can brand authority figure is that enough to terminate them engaged in worship at church or somewhere else? i'm hopeful that the supreme court of the united states is going to rein in the ninth circuit decision in this case and restore the promise of the free exercise of religion to every american, including those who go through our schoolhouse gates.

earth to see the world's richest man fight for free speech in the west. >> brian: doesn't mean you are not going to hear from people on the left. you want to hear from all sides like in 2015. here is the tweet that caused so much. rachel lavigne spent 54 years of his life as a man. he had a wife and a family. transitioned to being a woman in 2011. joe biden appointed four star admiral name "u.s.a. today" women of the year. are the feminists? that got you suspended? >> that's correct. >> it's a question one should contemplate. >> it's a factual tweet. nothing in there is inaccurate. in fact, some people would say that i might have been overly politically correct to the entire situation. i wanted to try to see where the line was. obviously the line is that you are not even allowed to mention someone under their prior name. it was a violation of policy called dead naming. this kind of unequal application of the rules of suspension on twitter is precisely why elon musk put $44 billion forward to

on twitter in the most consequential month of voting. all of this needs to be investigated. you bring up a great point, brian, the regime or edge prior is going to strike back. they are not going to take this easily and not going to take this lightly. elon is going to get investigated, subpoenaed. seen enough smear articles written about him. i just don't think he cares. i also think elon federal government needs him more than he needs the federal government. despite space war without elon musk. good luck climate change without tesla. good luck trying to fix the thank problem in los angeles without the company elon musk. wealth and power now to use to actually fight for western constitutional values. we have never really seen anything like this, brian. >> i'm pretty excited about it and it's driving the left insults. >> brian: i don't think you can blame him being born in south africa. blaming him for apartheid. some attacks are so off the charts it's nuts. number one app. in the country

right now download the app. truth social by donald trump. we will see how that goes headed up by devin nunes. thanks, charlie. appreciate it. >> thanks, brian. >> brian: the white house insists president biden has no involvement in his son's overseas business ties. even after he reportedly met with hunter's top business partner. lara trump will postulate that with her thoughts. ♪ ♪

he reportedly visited the white house dozens of times during the obama era including a meeting with then vice president joe biden himself. but the white house is still insisting the president he didn't know anything about that. >> the president says over and over again that he has never spoken to his son about his business dealings. hey spoken to his son's business partners about his son's business dealings? >> again, nothings that changed about what i said yesterday. the president does not get involved in the business dealings of his son. >> even through his son's business partners? >> nothing has changed since what i said yesterday. steve: she has got to say that because joe has said much of the say. fox news contributor lara trump joins us with reaction good morning to you. >> good morning, steve. >> steve: last couple years joe biden has been asked by reporters hey, ever get involved with your son's overseas business dealings? he has always said no. even though and we can put up the number of times his main business partner, mr. sherwin

went to the white house and went to joe biden himself. do you buy this because it smells kind of fishy. >> yeah. well, i don't think nibbies. this i mean, we have heard from joe biden as you said during the campaign numerous times asked about it. you know, you can watch a montage probably 20 minutes long of him denying he ever had any knowledge of this and then steve you see the photos come out. posing with the foreign business partners of his son hunter. so many of this -- these photos that have come out, we have so much more information. now we see his top business partner visited the white house 19-plus times who worked for the white house, steve? guess what? it's the president and the vice president. you will be hard-pressed to try to convince people that there was no knowledge by joe biden especially 10% for the big guy, all this stuff. but it's all so infuriating. i think to the american people because of the double standard. because of the bias here.

because you replace the name biden with the name trump and it is a totally different story if this had eric trump instead of hunter biden and donald trump instead of joe biden be in jail. that's the problem and frustration for so many people with this. and we are talking about countries steve like ukraine, russia, china, we need to know without a shadow of a doubt that our president is always acting in the best interest of the american people that there is no question that when he makes a decision he is not compromised on any front. that is why this is important and thank goodness there are some republicans finally trying to do something about it. >> steve: yesterday we detailed how the daily news looked at joe biden's federal tax return and his financial disclosure and it's like there is $5 million difference. the feds, he made a lot more money than what he told, you know, the disclosure thing.

where is that money come from? do you have confidence that the u.s. attorney in delaware is going to get to the bottom of this? you have only got 30 seconds. >> yeah. well, unfortunately i don't have a whole lot of confidence, especially because joe biden has been in politics longer than i have been alive. is he part of the swamp. they have all continued to cover up for him from the mainstream media, to the democrat party across the board. it would be nice to get to the bottom of this though to have integrity in our country and feel like we have a good president in the white house although a lot of questions on that front as well. >> steve: a lot of questions not many answers yet. lara, thank you for joining us today from down in florida. >> thanks, steve. >> steve: speaking of florida. the woke world of disney fighting back in its war with florida. how much disney says the sunshine state owes the taxpayers. ♪ like the ceiling can't hold ras that works differently. us

hey, come to the no tax state with twitter because we will welcome you with open arms. >> ainsley: bring your big business and we will hire local people for you and you will live in an open state and you won't have to pay taxes. >> brian: evidently harmeet dhillon last night told laura ingraham i'm not sure he should leaf california the free speech rules benefit him and lawsuits that could be coming at him. you might be able to stay there and benefit. to me, if i'm him, i want all my companies in the same place. i don't want to have to fly around to different states and catch up to everything. >> steve: how about twitter? they have got 7500 people that work for twitter. their headquarters is in san francisco, but most of the company is working from their couch. nobody comes to work anymore. >> brian: right. one guy that does come to work is mark meredith. >> ainsley: he does come to work and that is a great transition. i can hear him laughing. bad news for president biden after approval ratings remain deep in the basement. >> brian: yup, and new polls show inflation top concern by a

mile. half voters surveyed feel the biden administration's policies do more harm than good. >> steve: mark meredith as you heard the chuckle a moment ago has reported for work. >> i didn't know we could do this from the couch. i would have taken that option. >> steve: pajamas. >> camera is up here you can't see. good morning to all of you guys. as can you imagine no shortage of challenges. the white house is facing whether it be on immigration, the economy, or foreign affairs. there is new polling out this week shows majority of americans not thrilled with what they are seeing out of the building behind me. quinnipiac releasing a poll showing americans disapproving job performance. 38% approving. pollsters had a chance to break it down even further. asking people what's the most pressuring issue. inflation the number one issue. 31% of people say they are concerned about because of course it's impacting just about everybody. followed by immigration. we talked about the headlines all week about the possibility of title 42 being lifted fairly

soon. and election laws, the number three most pressing issue which is interesting, of course, because the midterms are approaching fast. the poll also asked people what do they think about the economy in terms of the president's policies? 48% of people saying they believe the president's policies are hurting, not helping the economy. only 16% believe they are helping. the white house admits inflation is a problem. but it also says the government is forecasting this is all going to level out by the end of this year. not everyone is convinced and now we are hearing top administration officials go on the defense. >> the decisions that were made to rescue the american economy are, i think, rightly credited with why we have low unemployment today and why more americans have more money in our pockets. everybody is entitled to their opinion but the bottom line is we are working against inflation with everything that we've got. >> but at least one big bank is forecasting that a major recession could come as soon as next year. not every bank is forecasting that the opinions on wall street appear to be a little mixed.

giving the polling we just looked at, guys, you can tell the economy big issue on voters' minds that could be good or bad thing for democrats as they head into midterms. steve, ainsley and brian back to you guys on your own couch. >> brian: which we're allowed to report from this couch and back drop like yours is real. thanks, mark. >> steve: certainly is. >> brian: no republican could make that up. steve: he was citing the q poll. the quinnipiac poll. in that same poll the question was asked and there you can see his terrible approval rating. they asked the registered voters if the election were held today don't worry, it will not be because you had to get prepared. who should control congress? 45 percent said republicans, 42 percent said democrats. but this is critical. 12 percent said i don't know right now. as bad as inflation is the day before the election day for a lot of people will determine who

gains control of congress. >> ainsley: i'm really surprised by those numbers, i would think more people would support republicans because of inflation because of gas price and. >> steve: because of the border and education. >> brian: some things have gone wrong the rescue plan the president trump pets larry summers says that's the reason inflation suspect. concern of almost everybody watching right now. i will add something else to this. republicans have got to go out of their way. i think it's important for their right to know that they're going to do investigations. they have to talk more about -- more than just i'm requesting to investigate about hunter biden. i'm going to investigate what's going on at the border. they have got to talk about what they will be able to do and what's possible and give people some hope because everybody knows what they are rout raged by. they would like to know some hope might be given with their vote. >> ainsley: energy independent again? >> brian: to be energy independent and find some way to do it. tell me your plan to get it done. >> ainsley: not spend as much. >> brian: pressure on the administration to do this. right now they have the perfect way to be energy independent,

world peace. because we are energy independent and provide energy, oil and gas to those who are being -- who are susceptible to russian oil and gas. you begin to starve out this evil nation as they continue to destroy the lives of eastern europe. >> ainsley: you are exactly right. >> steve: when you look at what has gone on regarding, fringes the hunter biden thing we were just talking about with lara trump. a lot of people are frustrated we don't know about the investigation. we don't know what the big department of justice is doing. we do know if republicans were in control of congress there would be oversight and, you know, all sorts of those people who we just detailed in the last segment would be called before congress. of course, the "new york post" tried to report on the hunter biden laptop before the election and twitter shut them down. but now the cover of the "new york post" today says conservative gain instantly a

bunch of followers after elon buys it is proof of twitter's secret shadow banning. we are talking about a little something we detailed yesterday. since monday, a number of people on the political left have lost followers. but a number of people on the political right have gotten followers. and inside the "new york post" they detail it monday and tuesday, donald trump jr. picked up 206,000 followers. ron desantis 205 followers. senator ted cruz 112,000 followers, and the "new york post" about 26,000 followers. of course, keep in mind, we detailed this a little bit yesterday, twitter says it could be organic but then again, donald trump jr. said what are they burning all the evidence? because before the new boss comes in? have they changed the algorithm? >> ainsley: we don't know. that's the problem and that's what the "new york post" editorial board was writing about this morning. they say it's high time to crack open big tech's black boxes

which suppress conservatives. they say that it's -- they need to open up their black boxes so we can all see what's really going on inside. we don't know did they change the algorithms so that if you if you are a conservative you get all these new followers. >> steve: maybe it's going to be fair finally. >> brian: here is charlie kirk. he was on with us earlier. he got suspended a short time ago. and says he is looking to go back. but he also wants to get some questions answered. >> we need to find out exactly how severe was the censorship institutionally at twitter from. shadow banning to the suspended accounts. elon, i believe now that he is the new manager and owner of twitter needs to bring back the suspended accounts. especially those that were suspended for these ridiculously arbitrary reasons. we need a full investigation into the hunter biden laptop story not allowed to be spread on twitter in the most consequential month of voting. all of this needs to be investigated. go back to the platform now

thatten it's under new management new promises for free speech protections. i'm just thrilled about this. this is the greatest show on earth to see the world's richest man fight for free speech in the west. >> brian: seems as though they are having melt downs since fran about the prospect of a new owner who wants to not go left or go right but just go balanced. and that is outraging people. and if you look at political donations by twitter employ years, you understand why. the wynn redd foundation was able to get $505. >> ainsley: 10 donations. >> brian: everyone at twitter at blue got 525. $557,000. we know where they stand. the bottom line is twitter was working that's why they got their viewers up until 2016. 17. things changed after donald trump won the election. all they want to do is go back to life that was, okay, i don't like that tweet. i like this one. conservative made a good point a

democrat made a good point where al franken is sparring with ted cruz. those are the good old days. can we just go back to an open forum with degrees? the question not going to be easy. think about this. do you let vladimir putin tweet in the guy has probably killed -- responsible for the death of 500,000 people. let ayatollah khomeini tweet? the guy about to get a nuclear weapon and threaten the rest of the world. do we let isis have an account? certain things that have to be examined and discussed. >> ainsley: i was reading all these items this morning talking about twitter workers freaking out about elon musk buying this. some are crying. some executives are threatening to quit. they can't work for this guy if is he going to come in and change things. if he is going to bring free speech. >> brian: bring trump back. >> ainsley: left leaning organization telling fec block on twitter and that's absurd. the fec doesn't have the power to do that. >> steve: in that article you were looking at, ainsley what

that says twitter employees earlier point hair on fire the new boss might make them go to work. >> you said the emoji with the head blown off. that's exactly what it looks like there. in that article it says that yesterday twitter employees asked in an internal corporate slack discussion that's an online thing, do the new bosses tweets about the corporate lawyer, do they violate essentially the terms of the acquisition? in other words, the twitter employees are looking for anything they can find to detrail. they do not want elon musk to get the big corner office at twitter. however, there are a bunch of and we started the program this hour with it. there are a bunch of red state governors and promoters who are saying elon musk, we want you to have the big corner office in our state. it's time to move. >> ainsley: yeah. you have got florida, tennessee, marsha blackburn was tweeting about it. you have texas.

this is texas' governor greg abbott. he said elon musk bring twitter to texas to joins at thela, spacex and the boring company. >> brian: bring titles and get rid of traffic. why we are not driving under the ground i'm not really into that one. i don't know what is going to fix. >> ainsley: like a subway? >> brian: elon musk says let's make twitter fun again. he also answered somebody and said now elon can you fix mcdonald's all their ice cream machines he said. listen. i can't do miracles, okay? this guy is having fun with it even though he lost tens of millions of dollars on tesla stock a couple days ago. >> steve: big question is after he acquires it will he be able to tweet as he does. it could be some sort of conflict. jimmy if florida's chief financial officer he put out an appeal hey elon musk this is what team twitter could see every evening if your headquarters was in the free

state of florida. obviously that. >> ainsley: mayor of jacksonville. >> elon should move toes at the. >> brian: jacksonville. >> ainsley: he made a comment jacksonville is a mess what jacksonville is beautiful. >> every was on brian about it. >> brian: basically i'm right. put money into it but plans on the books. >> ainsley: look what i found for you, carley a little table back here. these are carley's favorites. baskets all over the building. where they put free snacks in there. >> steve: hold on tell us what it is. >> carley: finding these cookies is like a pot of gold in this building i can't find them anywhere. >> steve: product endorsement.

>> knox bury farm. as a kid i gold with my family. it's a little bit sentimental stack. >> steve: throwback thursday? >> carley: that was unplanned. >> ainsley: what did you say? >> brian: she smash matches the bag. bigger question on the pandemic. if anthony fauci from tuesday is right and the pandemic is over. >> steve: walking that back. >> brian: when do our snacks go away. >> carley: car. >> ainsley: i love it. >> brian: lose the mask keep the snacks. carve car that so so sweet. >> ainsley: so hard to find. >> brian: this is robbing others from having them. >> carley: i'm going to eat them and thinking positive thoughts about ainsley the whole time. >> brian: pete likes it but ain'tly can't have it. >> carley: i do have to get some news here starting with a fox news alert. trevor reed is back on u.s. soil following a high stakes prisoner

anyone -- i mean, first step to recovery, steve, you have obsession for finding the perfect recipe, ainsley you are too nice. brian baseball card collection putting your jeopardy. the first step to recovery is admitting the depth of your problem. and whether it comes to american education, we have to admitted the depth of the stranglehold that unions and the left have on walk what they are teaching our kids and you might have a great teacher and many people do. and you might have a great principal and many people do or a great superintendent. but the priorities of the pipeline from the teacher's colleges to the unions, to the curriculum and to the pet gojy which is not what the curriculum is but how the kids are being taught is completely captured by progressives. and that pipeline started 100 years ago. that's what my book is about battle for the american mind. when it comes to covid relief funds, they look at their priorities and they don't say american history because that's been changed already. they don't say political science because that's become social

studies. that's a creation of the progressives and the marxists. they say diversity, equity and inclusion their goal is not education social change. that's why you see pronouns and gender not the basics. they want to mold your kids because they believe your kids are theirs. i'm not talking about every teacher. i'm talking about the controlled education establishment. and it's public and private across the country. and if we don't understand that depth we are going to keep pumping covid money at school districts with no guardrails on it and it turns into implicit bias training. >> steve: the u.s. department of education gave a statement to foxnews.com and essentially said this is not happening. but, they looked at the money. this outfit. one nation did. and, you know, in new york, in california, and illinois it's already being used. and, pete, you and i live in new jersey. 10 other states, new jersey,

prisoner exchange with russia. our next guest has been fighting for reed's release, who is constituents and actually greeted him on the tarmac yesterday as you can see right there. texas congressman august flugger joins us pfluger joins us from san antonio. describe what it was like when you were standing right there, you know, you had never met him before. but you saw him reunited with his family after being apart for a thousand days. >> well, it was overwhelming to see the joy on paula and joy reid's face to understand just how hard they had worked. how tirelessly they had made every effort possible to bring their son home. and, you know, it's a good news story in america. president biden did the right thing here and to realize a

marine is back on american soil. the country that he loves was just incredible. it really was a are outdoors but you are both wearing masks. i bet that has something to do with his health situation. what can you tell us about that? because we have heard a lot of stories. >> well, there are a lot of protocols, good professionals at army south did a wonderful job on reintegration and they take every safety and health precaution number one concern is to make sure that trevor reed is okay right now. that's exactly what we did last night. we are respecting not only his health but also his emotional well-being and making sure that his reintegration process is going to be successful. it's a tricky thing and the professionals at army south doing a great job of that. that's exactly why we were wearing masks. >> do you think -- let's talk about the geopolitical aspect of it. do you think it's a little odd

that here we are at logger heads with russia and yet russia did this yesterday where they had the prisoner swap. well, it is. you know, i'm happily surprised to see the outcome of this and i have been one of the loudest critics of vladimir putin with nord stream and obviously with the incursion and the situation that's going on in ukraine so, you know, i do believe that it's something positive to see that there is a line of communication between the united states and russia. i hope that that can lead, you know, to further releases of people like paul we land and i think this is a good win for the administration. let's continue to get other americanens home. >> steve: it's a win for america. real briefly, i know that you, being down in texas. you are worried about our southern border. yesterday, secretary mayorkas was there and i want to play you a soundbite because he says forget about those videos we see

individual was no longer in custody. the court will order a $1 million cash bond but the condition that the defendant not contact the juvenile and have no dangerous weapons. >> brian: here to react, former -- prevention and extradition, joins us now. have you ever seen or heard anything like this? this is stunning to us. what about you? >> not often. there been a few cases where you have young people killing even younger people. there was a really famous case in england about 20 years ago when you read 2 very young boys kill a toddler. that does happen occasionally. those people are seriously dangerous. this young teenager, this 14-year-old is definitely in that category. >> steve: we don't know exactly -- it sounds like you told the police a lot of what happened. the night when she left the

aunts house to go home, they only lived about a quarter of a mile away. the cousin then is charged with her murder. so, is the aunt, the mother of the killer? >> that is exactly what it sounds like it was steve greer that would make sense for their relation. what concerns me about this case, though, steve, brian, and ainsley is that this 14-year-old is a violent predator. he murdered a 10-year-old and sexually assaulted her. there is no way he should never get out and walk the streets again. i don't know why the judge said anybody. i know it's a cash bond but still. i don't know why he said any bond. >> ainsley: this 14-year-old said i wanted to break and kill my cousin. sexually assaulted mayor breed in your experience, with the parents have seen some signs that this little boy is very dangerous before? i don't know if the author told her son, it's not a clock at

night on a saturday and she's only 10. >> that's a great question, and ainsley. i'm certain that this 14-year-old would've been exhibiting some sort of violent signs. perhaps he was obsessed with or watching violent movies or talking a lot about violence and doing arm. or he is harming small animals or he's arming those younger than he is at school or bullying. i can guarantee there were some signs that his close friends and family would have seen that would've let them know we need some sort of help and intervention. unfortunately, nobody said anything good to lily peters has paid the price. >> brian: it looks like he is going to be convicted. what is he go? >> he served in the juvenile detention facility antilles 18 and then he gets transferred to regular prison. >> ainsley: he was charged as an adult. >> he was. after he turns 18 he will go to a regular prison answer about

whatever the rest of his sentences as an adult in the delta facility. >> brian: do you have any questions that still need to be answered? >> i have a lot of questions. i would like to know who's also signs it was there a chance for lily peters to be saved. could someone have intervened in time? this definitely didn't have to happen. it's such a strategy that was preventable. >> ainsley: began to show his face because he's a minor. >> you know, ainsley, i doubt it. people like that that have this violence inside them are not remorseful. he didn't really look at lily as though she were a human being or cousin or a relative or a little girl who needed protecting. he looked at her as an object that he wanted to engage in this way to kill and to hurt and so he did. >> steve: it is just awful. joining us from wyoming. all right, still ahead on this

spent countless hours ago, u.s. ranger. finally sent for on new sol after being detained in russia since 2019. his release is part of a high-stakes prisoner swap with her, and despite high tensions of ukraine. >> brian, we now know that the former new mexico governor and former u.s. ambassador flew to moscow the day before russia invaded ukraine to negotiate the release of trevor reed. that all manifested yesterday in a prisoner swap. cutting down on u.s. soil today. the first time since russia imprisoned them back in 2019. he was imprisoned for allegedly assaulting an officer while drunk in exchange for russian pilot locked up in the u.s. the exchange happened in turkey. reportedly on our 30 day hunger strike before his release. his family says he will share this story when they are ready.

u.s. called the original trial "theater of the absurd." here in ukraine, president zelenskyy gave a speech for the 36th anniversary of the disaster for which he called for global control of russia's nuclear weapons. one former defense intelligence agent tells fox news that might've been a reckless and provocative call by zelenskyy only going to anger vladimir putin who gave another concerning warming to any country that assist ukraine. [speaking non-english language] >> if someone intends to intervene in from the outside and create strategic that's for russian with unacceptable task where that i would tell latoya strikes will be lightning fast. we have all the tools for this. things no one else can boast of having. >> brian: the u.s. secretary of defense was here in ukraine this week. he tells fox news that despite roger's ongoing nuclear threat, he does not think this will end a nuclear war. he also calls out russia saying their nuclear rhetoric is dangerous.

in video. russian troops used tear gas ann end stun grenades. russia did not just on their city and leave. instead, they are occupying it with soldiers in the streets. people are without food and water. russia accuses ukraine of bombing. wnba star britney greiner and michigan security executive are still locked up in russia. the biden administration says they're going to work on peter's release and others. >> thanks so much. i look forward to getting so much more of the information. 28 minutes before the top of the area. you get the latest. >> steve: we all know that inflation is hurting us and it's causing a lot of americans to change their grocery shopping habits. a new report revealing consumers are buying more store brands and swapping different kinds of meat as those prices climb. the cost of beef and veal up 20%

and poultry is up 13.2%. the ceo of that meat purveyors enjoins us right now. good morning to you. >> good morning. thanks for having me. >> steve: we are big fans of pat leahy fritos burgers. we use those throughout the pandemic. a lot of people are going through the budget cuts right now. we don't have to buy a car this year. but we have to eat today. >> some of us do need to buy cards. i need to buy trucks to make me deliveries. i'm waiting for supply chains to open. i'm waiting for the ports to unload trucks. a truck parts that we need in those trucks for those refrigeration units. that's part of the inflation that is adding to the meat costs. yes, i think it is smart to look at for economy cuts of meat in the supermarket for retail

stores. i think it is not a good move to go for items that have a smaller sticker price. i have less weight in the package. the packaging will cost the same which is at an all-time high as it is. imagine if a 2-pound package of meat hasn't much lower percentage of that constant packaging than something that is 12 ounces. i have seen a big movement towards smaller portion to packaged product in retail on retail shelves. why avoid the inevitable? you go to eat that meat. you buy a family sized portion. anything you're going to consume. nothing less. being wary of how many ounces are in a package. not just what the sticker is. >> steve: my wife sent me to the grocery store and buy back a box of spaghetti. 1 pound box of spaghetti. i got home and it was 12 ounces.

e.j. ane, they shrunk the needles. i saw a report and apparently, one social person posted online that they are electing the buy more has forced her to begin butchering whole chickens instead of picking up her usual prepackaged thing. my wife and i are writing another cook with. we are making the recipes with chicken thighs. boneless chicken thighs. rather than use lobster, we are using shrimp. everyone is trying to get creative on how to get around this thing. >> well, if you could use all parts of the chicken. if you are deboning the chicken for the chicken breast and using the chicken bones, yes, you can save money that way. if you are just tossing the bones are tossing the skin, right away, you would be better off buying the finished product and only paying the net weight at a higher price point, but

let's wait and no waste. the meat industry one of the most efficient industries. i will tell you, it is going to be the anchor for inflation lots of flyaway. it will hold inflation down because the infrastructure is there. they provide 6% of our gdp at nearly a trillion dollars. 6 million jobs. the infrastructure is not going to go anywhere. we just need the other prices to come down if you will to come down. we need accessibility to vehicles. >> steve: went to china starting to lock down because of covid, back to your point about the supply chain. it's just going to get worse. one final question about the beef industry. we were talking to the commercial. he said there really good prime cuts of meat which everybody wants actually cheaper now than they were a year ago. >> they are. they are less expensive.

it is the middle grades in the lower grades that are more expensive. that is because when consumers are looking for a more economy cuts or a lower price which is human nature. we want to save money where we can. that brings the price down on the higher grades of beef. i will tell you from the meat industry standpoint, there's never a day that the meat industry doesn't work to make meat financially accessible to all americans. it doesn't do any good for the meat industry to be overpriced. >> steve: thank you for joining us today. still ahead on this thursday, michigan mother of two is suing her kids school district after they refused to share lesson plans and other materials with parents. she will join us live coming up on fox news. ♪ ♪

materials were used. director gave me the course description but there was not much information on it. >> ainsley: why are you skewing the school district? >> they told me to send foia request and i can get access to this information. when i sent this week will request, they would claim and no public records existed concerning readings, assignments, or viewings in the class. >> ainsley: and the last $400. >> that was related to a different foia request about teacher training materials. i've created a positive $400. they said they could not give me any copyrighted materials. >> ainsley: what about the other moms i do have high school students in his class that you can get any information about what the teachers teaching inside the schools. what did they say? >> other moms with students in the class? a lot of them are not excited that i'm asking questions about the class in the first place. they are not giving me a lot of material either.

>> ainsley: why are you doing this? why is it important to you? >> class is taught in the public schools should represent a variety of viewpoints. i'm curious to see what is being taught to our students. i know that that influences society at large on these topics or sensitive topics and they should be dealt with appropriately. i just wanted to see what is being taught. it is the secrecy that has really propelled me to keep going. i don't understand if you have nothing to hide, why is it a secret? >> steve: you are being very bold. there are a lot of moms that want to do this better too scared. i don't want to ruffle any feathers. then i want their children to be affected by it. thanks so much for doing this and keep us posted on what happens. we did reach out to the school district. they said rochester community school is committed to cultural proficiency, diversity, equity, inclusion, and social emotional learning for all. rochester community schools remains cooperative in sharing information with community

>> brian: vote today on a plan to build the new stadium in the city. enter miami fc soccer team. the teaming up with david beckham for their project called miami freedom. privately financed. they expect to generate $40 million in new tax revenue immediately. he joins us now along with the mayor, a good friend of the show. first off, i'm going to say right now that we were to check for $600 million to the buffalo bills to build a stadium. what is the deal, mr. mayor? how is this deal being done without taxpayer support? >> if you lived in buffalo, you would be very happy to hear this. stroke a check for $0 and the revenue stream we are going to get beginning on the certificate of occupancy is $2.6 billion in

revenue to the city. the city is going to give $0. going to get to $.6 billion over 99 years in revenue for the city. it's a diametrically different deal. we went as far as to put it to the voters to give our residents the owners of the property in a democracy you consult with the people you represent. they approved a deal by over 60% and negotiated on this basis on these terms. we are very proud to be able to present that diversity commission. we hope it gets past so we got major league soccer in our beautiful city. >> brian: great location. what is there now? how much is this is a going to to build? >> what is there now is a golf course. it sits on an old dump site. it's on contaminated land. our vision of this stadium is transformational in the country. i am of the opinion that stand-alone stadiums don't work. this will be a stadium surrounded by developments that will benefit our community with

an entertainment district, restaurants, hotels, office to truly try to make it a place that has life 24/7. it's all going to be privately financed, the stadium because we are estimating right now is $350 million. construction costs keep rising. the important thing is that in soccer and things of the united states, our city, we were both born here in this city. it's privately financed. it will be 300 -- million dollars unspent on the stadium. i repeat it is completely privately financed. it will also be completely privately financed. it will. in addition to that something that people don't talk about. we're going to be gifting the city of miami a 58-acre park. a golf course that is there and i will be half developed with the stadium and surrounding development. we are going to create the largest park in the city of miami at the team's cost. that's going to be a great amenity. we are basically a country club.

the residents can visit. it's going to be an open park with entertainment district and stadium. we can bring enter miami to to the middle of our city. >> brian: we have one know about already. how many votes do you need to get the thumbs up on this? >> we have five commissioners and we need four to support it. we feel good. we've had extensive conversations with them. 3 out of 5 support to put this deal to a referendum where 60% of the voters approved the skeletal bones of the deal which was basically the minimum rent, the fact that we would have as george indicated that a remediated side contaminated site. they're going to spend dollars to clean the site. they are going to give us $20 million to improve the park. and/or surrounding parks in the city. $5 million for a bay walk that's not even adjacent to the park. we are not only getting a $2.6 million revenue stream. we are getting an additional

$25 million. a completely clean park. this is the best sports deal in the history of america. i challenge some of our local beat writers, if you can find me a better deal, please bring it to me. i would love to see it. i think it is what makes miami special. >> brian: getting 25,000 people in those seats. you've got to build a stadium. they have a place to come. always great to see you. thanks a lot for the vote. always good to get a soccer specific stadium. more "fox & friends" in just a moment. no move.
