booster mandate as you discussed. what is interesting, even if you are remote student or virtual student, you have to get the booster before fall of 2023. >> todd: that makes no sense, you are home potentially. why are schools keeping the mandates in the face of the science? as you well know, for two years we were told to follow the science. >> what a great question. that is the million dollar question. the first point, most important point to bring up is the fact and we have to emphasize the fact covid shots do not stop transmission or infection, there they serve no public health purpose, period. this was known by vaccine makers very early on through trials, they never tested for transmission and came out with

this bogus line of 95% effective rate. to push the vaccine on the global scene. that is not the case, they are not 95% effective, the million dollar question, why are they still continuing to force vaccines as mandates to the college students. >> todd: that is the question. i guarantee every college has at some point embraced the concept, my body, my choice, why not with covid? >> 1000%. i wish i could answer that for you, we have tried to get through to administrators and to students to push back on this issue. we are coming up against a brick wall. we get coin boiler plate language, the best way to protect our community is by enforcing our community to get

covid-19 vaccine mandate, some schools to get as many covid-19 vaccines as possible. university of michigan mandated the bivalent booster if you will be on campus for fall of 2023, you have to comply by may 15th. at this point, arguably, the var iant is gone and if there is efficacy, it is gone by fall of 2023, if you are getting it on may 15th. >> todd: how worried are you about the long-temimpact of the vaccine on your son? >> i am fortunate enough to have been able to have pushed through religious exemption for my son at uc irvine, many others did not know this was open to them. i am concerned about the

long-term effect of the vaccines. just from the short term devastating, some devastating effects from the short term, immediate effect from the vaccines. it is clear there may well be long-term, unknown down stream potential hazards such as cancer or autoimmune issues, etcetera. this is unknown territory and i feel that they are creating a laboratory of guinea pigs by making our students take these shots without knowing the long-term effects. >> todd: i know a ton of parents who got the vaccine and when it comes to the kids, no way they will get it. thank you so much. >> thank you so much.

sense of urgency and i'm embarrassed to see my city at the top. >> ashley: why do you show up to the sites? you are holding up signs, making yourself apparent you are there and it is apparent what you are protesting. why do you do that? >> my goal is community engagement. i think the community is part of the solution. my goal is to go out and try to call to the community to be part of the solution. i go out to highlight unfortunate demise of someone and inform the community they have to be a solution to the problem. >> ashley: has the city or anyone in outreach reached out to you after seeing you holdup the signs, has anyone said anything to you? >> yes, i've spoken to elected officials, not necessarily

superintendent who created this the last hour. >> when we get calls, we investigate them to see if there is inappropriate teaching. they are not there to use a captive audience for personal ideology. that is unprofessional and could lead to discipline. we have to fight back and bring the power back to parents and stop the woke teaching and focus on academics. >> ashley: he other than was test scores are down and he thinks removing politics from the classroom will leave more time to teach academics. >> todd: bill approved by house education committee that could challenge parents to challenge obscene material in public schools. watch. >> we need to get sexual content away from children. >> the purpose of the bill is to give parents due process. >> this bill is about protecting

innocent young children from inappropriate content. >> todd: thanks for being on the program. describe the contents, the material we're talking about. >> well, it was content and material that we found in the public school system for middle school students that was quite disconcerting, showing performance of sexual acts between minor children and young adults. >> todd: senate bill five describes it, contains exposure in obscene matter, refers to -- patently offensive, how does the challenge process work? >> well, first if the parent finds out about it, they can go to the principal and asked it be

removed. if it isn't removed, they can take it to the board of education, the board of education has to make a finding. everybody knows how that local board will vote and publish the opinion. if they continue to keep the material within the school system, the parent gets the opportunity on opt out and it becomes a political question as to whether or not that school board represents value of local parents and local teachers. >> todd: then it is an issue for voters, who is on the other side of this argument? who is fighting to put materials in schools and keep materials there? >> well, this has been something we keep seeing coming from our local and statewide departments of education and it seems as if our current governor's administration seems to

repetitively have these types of guidances that this is the direction our school system should go. that is one. then there is a group that has continually pushed agendas that we think are not appropriate now for me, my children at one time, now my grandchildren. it is very difficult when you have an administration that continually pushes this type of agenda. >> todd: this issue extending way beyond kentucky and reaching every state in our union. why has there been a push to put the materials in our schools because i can tell you, when i was in school, there were no books that detailed the perian acts, it was not there, why there now? >> it seems to be a change that a certain segment of our

culture, we have polled this issue. what we're doing is something parents want and the public want, there seems to be a vocal minority of individuals who think this is appropriate conduct to promote. when i was growing up, that wasn't an issue, now it seems to be the issue that public education is providing. >> todd: do what you want when you are 18, when i have a child in public school, teach them math, reading, writing, do not teach this stuff. keep us posted. house republicans are at the border ready to hear from top officials who have not been allowed to testify before today, democrats skipping it, we have details. >> ashley: house republicans have their hands on bank records related to the biden family business dealings and revealing a major new twist. >> james: there were three

ccp, from china, from the chinese government, but for what? remember, hunter biden is being accused of influence pedalling when his father was vice president and the payments pick up after joe biden left office as the vice president of the united states. >> todd: until comer spills the beans, we will play -- >> cheryl: guessing games in the commercial breaks. >> todd: ron desantis laying down the hammer. >> cheryl: they were warned not to throw this party, by the way, this is hyatt regency. they are revoking their liquor license. the department is revoking the venue license for alcoholic beverages.

through and the obligations are ultimately, whether by judgment or agreement are enforcible. >> ashley: the lawsuit demands the company pay for full clean-up and for damages the town will see in the years to come. residents were forced to evacuate for days after a toxic chemical was released. >> todd: russia bashing the u.s. is the world stage warning washington to stop hostile flights after moscow fighter jet brings down a u.s. drone over the black sea. >> ashley: lucas tomlinson is live, lucas. >> lucas: the u.s. reaper drone went down southwest of russia-occupied crimea after russian jet collided with the drone's propeller. want the u.s. military to stop hostile flights in the black sea

near russia controlled territory. raising concerns about technology falling into rusian hands, right now no u.s. warships in the area. here is reaction. >> we don't want to see the war escalate beyond what it has already done. this was inappropriate, unsafe, unprofessional by russian pilots. >> demonstrates lack of -- unsafe and unprofessional. >> white house spokesperson john kirby calls this environmentally unsound drawing rebuke from the reagan institute posted by jennifer griffin. >> like to get your reaction to what happened today in the black sea. >> pissed off. i mean, be honest about this for a second. the report coming out of our government is this was an unprofessional act and

environmentally unsound. i'm sorry, they shot down a united states war plane, they took it out of action and that is response we get back. yeah, not very happy about it. >> the u.s. drone is worth up to 32 million dollars depending on the model, roughly same price of fighter jet that collided with it, pair of russian flankers were recklessly engaging with it for 30 minutes, including dumping fuel on it. the russian jet landed in crimea. russian ambassador to u.s. saying the uav was moving toward russian territory, could you imagine what the reaction of the pentagon would if a drone were to appear near new york or san francisco? u.s. defense budget set to increase by 3.2%, factor in inflation, money needed to take on russia and china, which experts say are building up

forces like 1930s germany. >> ashley: bring in congressman greg steube. go to the response from the russian ambassador to the u.s., it makes it seem like they think they can walk all over the united states. my question is has biden let so much slide since he's been in office this is what our adversaries think they can do, walk all over us? >> absolutely. go back to afghanistan and saw how feckless joe biden and his administration is on the world stage and putin and russians and chinese know they can get away with whatever they want to do. china can put a balloon all over the united states and russians can shoot down their drones, they know there is not a reaction from this white house, just look at afghanistan. we had testimony in a hearing thanks to republicans being in control of the house, we hear

from a sniper who wanted to engage the he didn't get the clearance to do that when he knew that that was going to happen. complete dereliction of duty all the way from the top through the ranks of our military right now. >> todd: yet, the white house said this was quote environmentally unsound. you hear the spokesperson in lucas' piece say this was unsafe and unprofessional. that's it? that's the extent of the white house response? >> well, yeah. heaven forbid they dump fuel somewhere. they are in the middle of a war zone. the black sea is just south of ukraine and just west of russia. so you have got all sorts of military activity going on there. and, again, congress doesn't get this information. we need to know -- congress needs to know if we are flying drone flights in the black sea in a war zone very close to a war zone, what is the mission and purpose there? so i hope that the biden administration, the department of defense plans on briefing

congress now that one of our drones has been basically taken out by a russian fighter jet. one, what is our military response going to be and, two, what is the mission and purpose of those surveillance flights and/or if these are armed drones. what's going on there and what decisions is the biden and white house making without the authorization from congress? >> ashley: what do you think biden should do in response? >> well, first of all, i would like to know all of the facts and all of the information. that's why congress should get -- i'm sure some of this is classified. we should get a classified briefing on this. and so why we are flying these drone flights in the black sea. >> todd: meantime, residents in your state, in the florida keys specifically getting fed up with the rusty migrant boats piling up on their property and littering the shores and cleaning up these boats not sheep. some reports say removals could cost up to $100,000 per vessel. yet another example, congressman, every state is a border state a in the joe biden

border crisis; isn't that right? >> another crisis created by joe biden and his administration that is completely avoidable by enforcing current federal laws as relates to immigration. and now even here in florida we are seeing all these derelict boats show up migrants from haiti, cuba showing up on our land and they know they can come here because of joe biden's weak immigration policies and complete failure to enforce our current immigrations. >> ashley: i do want to turn to this, you are proposing new legislation to install weapons lockers within the capital building which would allow lawmakers to carry weapons for self-protection while going to and from capitol hill. have you had bipartisan support from this? >> well, not yet, i doubt the democrats want to admit that d.c. is a crime-ridden city run by democrats. i had a staffer who works for me who was mugged right outside her house. she typically would carry pepper spray but you can't carry pepper

spray into the capitol. so we have got to have some avenue for law-abiding citizen to be able to protect themselves when they are walking to and from work that work in our federal office buildings. they are not permitted to bring weapons in even if they have a conceal carry permit in d.c. allow them to have locker space to walk to protect themselves in one of the most crime ridden cities in the entire united states so they can protect themselves and put the put the snuff lockers and get it on their way out and not be victims of these crimes in d.c. because they will be able to defend themselves. >> todd: i'm looking at this through your lens. you are a pretty tough guy, right? are you scared to walk the streets of d.c.? >> i have got a d.c. conceal carry permit. i went and got my maryland d.c. permit when we have stuff in maryland. i carry here in florida. i have a conceal carry permit in florida. fortunately for members of congress, we can carry on federal grounds but our staff cannot because they are not

members of congress. they have to have an avenue to protect themselves. walking to and from work if they cannot bring it into the building they are not going to bring it. walking to work at the are completely susceptible to being mugged and attacked on the crime ridden streets of d.c. >> ashley: congressman greg "studio by," thank you so much for being with us this morning. we appreciate it. >> todd: thank you, sir. >> thanks for having me. >> ashley: "fox & friends" starts right now. ♪ ♪ >> todd: a russian fighter jet brings down a u.s. military drone over the black sea. >> the u.s. authorities want the russian ambassador to come to washington asap. >> they shot down a united states warplane. we cannot allow that to happen. >> biden's justice department is hoping the collapse of silicon valley bank. >> the board of directors pumped millions into democrat campaigns. >> poster boy for idiot management. that brand is radioactive. >> the house committee is set to hold a field hearing will democrats show up.
