the russians. and maintaining our presence in this area. again, we have every right to be there. it is in our national security interest. i don't think the russians will be able to recover much, if anything, but we need to continue. >> todd: senator joni ernst thank you so very much as the breaking news come in. "fox & friends" takes it from here. >> does ths have operable control? >> no, sir. >> ortiz speaking to the homeland security committee. >> stark contrast to claims by mayorkas. >> we have effectively managed. >> mayorkas has refused to follow his oath. >> a total mess on wall street fallout from the silicon valley collapse. >> yellen needs to head to the hill to answer questions. >> they have all said this is transitory so they can keep spending more money. >> russian warships scouring the black sea unlikely to find anything. >> the intercept is intentional

russia drowned our u.s. drones. >> we won't tolerate this kind of provocative action. >> what you are supposed to be doing. >> i have the privilege of serving with joe biden he intends to run and if he does i will be running with him. >> you see like this momentum about them trying to pull kamala off the ticket? >> aaron rodgers says he will leave the green bay packers for the new york jets. >> i made it clear my intention was to play and my intention was to play for the new york jets. >> steve: all right. good morning, everybody, we are starting with a fox news alert. brand new video just in from the pentagon shows that russian fighter jet clipping an american drone earlier this week over the sea in europe. >> ainsley: it was going straight for it. who do you believe russia or our military? we will take a look. watch as the jets are buzzing by the drone over the black sea before striking the propeller and sending the $32 million

drone plunging down into the black sea. the russian navy is now trying to recover it. >> brian: it looks like they're dumping that fuel on top of the drone. defense secretary lloyd austin speaking with russian counterpart about the incident. this brings the united states and russia closest to direct conflict since vladimir putin's invasion of ukraine one area ago. it's important to bring up that our secretary of defense never told us how the conversation went. he says up to the other guy to say. really? we would like your version of what happened. now we are seeing video of what we claim happen and that evidently, according to reports was the second plane. because the second plane was the one that clipped the propeller that forced the drone between 30 and $50 million into the black sea. >> ashley: clear going directly toward our $32 million drone with a plane that costs equally as much. they are saying thought russian navy is trying to retrieve this drone. we definitely don't want them to do it. our military is in that area of

the black sea right underneath there where it plunked down after it clipped it. >> brian: their military. >> steve: their military. talking about the russians. first i was thinking look at those contrails the guy is obviously out of control. but that is fuel being dumped on the drone because the whole idea is to incapacitate the drone's eyes essentially so we could not spy on whatever the goal was that day. but it just goes to show you, look at how amazingly close -- you know, the criticism we heard from the pentagon regarding the russian pilots was absolutely accurate. this is so unprofessional. those guys are absolutely out of control. they are lucky they didn't crash their own jet by hitting it. that's nuts. >> brian: you could say that maybe they wanted to do this but a lot of people say you could have damaged your own plane. the first burn got close. this looks like the second one that clips it. and now the russians are

efforting to go 5,000 -- they say it's 5,000 feet deep and looking to scrape this off the floor. remember how the iranians benefited when our drone went down in the middle of the dessert. barack obama elected not to blow it up. the iranians took it and now they have drone fleet exactly like ours if not better. >> ainsley: the cream lineal approved this aggressive action. this is intentional. >> brian: i know. i saw the report. >> steve: here's the thing. this is just about 15 seconds worth of the video that was released by european command. and apparently those jets were circling that drone for 30 or 35 minutes. so there's a lot of this. but this just shows how close the plane came when it was dumped -- and here is another angle of it where it was dumping the fuel on the drone while the drone's eyes were. >> ainsley: right before we went on air brian said, you know, twice, there are three top stories today. where do we begin? obviously this video just came

in but, also, can we move to the border where the democrats decided not to go to that field operational meeting? last year the homeland security secretary alejandro mayorkas said, quote: we have operational control of the u.s. border. >> steve: right. >> ainsley: yesterday, the head of u.s. border patrol raúl ortiz was asked that question do we have control? do we have operational control of the border and he said no, sir. we do not have operational control of the border. listen. >> does dhs have operational control of our entire border? >> no, sir. >> will you testify under oath right now do we have operational control, yes or no? >> yes, we do. >> chief ortiz, do you think that secretary mayorkas is lying there? >> about 10 years ago we used operational control as a measuring stick of our effectiveness along the southwest border.

my new strategy is geared towards mission advantage. >> so you know i'm asking a very specific question. >> yes, sir. >> and you're kind of describing how the goal post has been moved because of the mass waives of people that are coming. my question, you heard the secretary. he said we have operational control that's the definition? >> based upon the definition you have, sir, up there, no. >> we don't have operational control? >> no, sir. >> brian: he went on to defend, soldiers in haitian incident talked about howl demoralizing that was. i disagree with the administration's move to stop building the wall. the wall they is he is viking like. we paid for it and even allocated president biden pure political play as told to us by experts who do this for a living. allows it to rust in the dessert and neighborhoods rather than put it up. these guys are desperate. maybe that's why democrats at the last minute decide over the last 48 hours we are not going

to go. even though we flew our witness down there to have this meeting, and to have this hearing, somebody who i guess would trumpet what they believe was a secure border? they decide not to go because they didn't want to be sitting there and have to hear what they know the facts are. >> ainsley: how mad would you be if you are a mother whose can child died of fentanyl poisoning. they decided not to go. discuss this. this is a problem affecting our kids. >> steve: democrats said they didn't want to go the going into it the stated purpose was to blame the secretary of homeland security, mayorkas for the border problem. none of the democrats showed up and, keep in mind, joe biden is getting scalding criticism from both republicans and democrats. republicans want more enforcement and democrats say hey, there is too much enforcement. here is congressman dale strong from the great state of alabama talking about the democrats who did not show up to see with their own two eye what is is going on down south. >> they are coming from mexico.

they are coming from guatemala, el salvador, ecuador, colombia, cuba, haiti, iran and they are coming from china, too. our country is under attack. america is being invaded. no american is safe. this invasion is not a democratic issue. it is not a republican issue. it is an american issue. i'm a freshman united states congressman, i have been in office for nine weeks. and we learning more here than we have heard in the last nine weeks. i th thank each much you but i n tell you this, the thing i'm most distraught about there's not a democrat here. this is american issue. it's a appalling that the democrats didn't show up and america is under attack. >> brian: let's add to something else. not only did democrats not show up. the networks didn't show up.

nbc, abc, cbs, evening news. not one 60 on the story. but they were all over stormy daniels from 2015 to 2016 who evidently was asked to go before a grand jury on a pure political play against donald trump. they could not cover this story. i would argue there is no bigger story outside the bank collapse and russia buzzing our planes than this. i don't know how stormy daniels rates over the border right now. >> steve: well, neither do i. i haven't looked at the ratings for a little while. it was great that chief ortiz though was in attendance. and, you know, he has been in that job for at the border for like 30 years. he avoided direct criticism of his supervisors. but he perfectly subject rised wsummarized what is going on on the southern border. any time you don't have consequences for coming into the country illegally, are you are going to see increases because joe biden has opened the doors, that's why there are a couple

million people come in. tom homan has been sounding the clarion call for a while and here he is on "fox & friends first" a little while ago slammings biden administration i have been calling for his impeachment for a year and a half. he slandered the border patrol. and horse patrol. he went on the podium and said they whipped black migrants he was briefed that didn't happen. he is not only ignoring the law he violated the law. i have testified for the state of texas in federal court in houston, texas on the ice priorities not only ignore the law but told ice to violate the law. he needs to be impeached. they can impeach trump on a phone call they can certainly impeach alejandro mayorkas on what he has done. >> brian: they don't have the votes.

>> ainsley: or tease said he disagreed with them tearing down the wall it was a perfectly good infrastructure system in some areas and should have been left alone. >> brian: tech was with that, too. there were roads and high tech concerns. >> steve: you know, if any democrats who were supposed to be there were watching just now, that's all they saw because they weren't in attendance we brought that out as a public service so people could see what's going on on the southern border. it's out of control. even a former black lives matter member is slamming reparations plan. why he says the proposal gas lights black americans. >> brian: plus, there could be a new a rod in the big apple. >> i think since friday, i made it clear that my intention was to play and my intention was to play for the new york jets >> brian: after a day in darkness in oregon, aaron rodgers came out and saw his new york jets shadow. now it's up to the packers to

those are your headlines, guys, back to you. >> steve: by the way, we should point out, come on over here for a second, dave. you were talking about how the pitcher was hurt. what a diazer on the new york poet on the other side aaron rodgers made it clear on a podcast he wants to be a jet. he intends to be a jet. here's the podcast. >> we had a nice conversation and i told him, listen i'm not ready to make a decision about anything. i want to get back in my work blowouts and see how it feels to really hit it hard for a week. obviously i have been working out before that to hit it hard for a week and see if the drive and passion is still there and i will see where we are at. and so, again, this is why this is not a decision here. the decision, i think, was made in my mind whether or not i was able to admit really on that tuesday i wanted to play. and then it was, you know, how

is my body feeling? is it going to be able to hold up? so, at this point, as i sit here i think since friday, i made it clear that my intention was to play and my intention was to play for the new york jets. >> brian: so, ainsley, what's your evaluation of this? >> ainsley: so i have been following this a little bit. and tell me if i am right or wrong, so owners of the packers. >> steve: start in the beginning, the jets are terrible. >> brian: great defense. they were 7-10 last year. they have great promise. >> steve: but they need a quarterback. >> ainsley: let's be positive about our new york team. they need a quarterback. woody johnson's quarterback. all the other quarterbacks are gone so he would love aaron rodgers. 39 but still a great player. and look at tom brady. he could have years and years and years. so then you have got the packers and tell me if i am wrong brian correct me in the middle of my monologue. he is the owner of the packers and he likes the backup quarterback. he has been playing the backup. >> brian: jordan love going to get his chance.

>> ainsley: why doesn't he just do this deal and all the guys in the green room were talking about in this morning well, they have to come up with a trade. the packers want a first round draft; is that right, maybe two? >> brian: right. >> ainsley: the jet would have to give that in order to get dana rogers. >> brian: dana perino, your serve. you have now met your match. he signed a three year $150 million contract in 2022. a lot of money. is he similar to the contract i signed. 660 million a year. the packers have to pay him still about $40 million. >> ainsley: not quarantined. >> brian for him guaranteed went into four days of darkness in oregon. we have all sat for four days in oregon. >> ainsley: explain that to the viewers if you know. >> brian: i can't. >> steve: aaron rodgers. >> ainsley: he went to eerg to do that. >> brian: some things aaron rodgers does that i can't do that's one of them.

four days went in there 90% i'm going to retire. when he emerged he said i am going to play. and he said i hear the packer was are trying to trade me. okay, if you are going to trade me, i'm going to leave. so i choose to go to the jets. the jets flew out last week they had a great meeting meaning. i would love a few players he denies this. >> ainsley: who said that. >> brian: aaron rodgers. the jets signed one of them. they could be signing the third returning back too. he came out yesterday as you just saw and said this, loves the packers, wants to move on. watch. >> i have nothing but love and appreciation. it's been bittersweet. coming to reality it has been really bittersweet. i was drafted by green bay. i love that city. i love that organization. and always going to have love for that organization, buff the facts are right now they want to move on now and now so do i. i have nothing but love in my heart for every packer fan and

everybody that works in the organization. my life is better because of my time at green bay. but we just got to look at the reality they want to move on. they don't want me to come back. that's fine they want me to move on with jordan. that's awesome. >> brian: jordan love. they moved on from brett favre and turned to him and ended up with the jets. now, at the same age i am going to go to the jets. i'm not holding it up. it's up to the jets to come up with compensation. back to your original point they want a first round draft pick and the jets go yeah, i don't think so. they both need each other. the packers can't keep him and the jets can't live without him. i think we need dr. drew to bring both sides together and maybe they will sign him as early as today. >> steve: there are two problems i see. one is in that first soundbite he said i'm going to go work out for a week and see if the drive and the passion is still there. if the dry and the passion is not still there, he is not going to want to play. the other thing is, when he

played for green bay, he wore number 12. number 12 is joe n namath's number. they retired that years ago. apparently he said he would have a conversation with joe namath to see if he would be okay unretiring number 12. calling the guy down to jupiter joe namath, number 12. aaron, it's a timeshare. can you have my 12, too. >> ainsley: he is such ananias guy. >> ainsley: your jim gray and your friend. >> brian: without tom brady playing at 44 so effectively they go he is too old. aaron rodgers with the new rules can't hit a quarterback, he will probably play. coming up, a fox news alert. brand new video showing russian fighter jet knocking down and clipped a drone sending the 30 to $50 million predator drone

>> steve: today on capitol hill treasury secretary janet yellen

in the hot seat facing tough questions about the integrity of americans banks after a chaotic day, another one on wall street, as part of the growing fallout from the collapse of silicon valley bank. peter rex is the founder and ceo of the tech and real estate firm. he joins us right now from down in texas. good morning to you, peter. >> good morning. >> steve: so, if you -- and i know you are not. if you are a member of congress and in front janet yellen, what would you be yelling at her question wise? >> i would be really adamant about the fact that we have got to make sure we on the one hand punish silicon valley bank for poor leadership for running a a bad business that's what happened here. shareholders need to be wind out and management needs to be dealt with a heavy hand, yet, on the other hand, we need to protect depositors to prevent other runs on the money. other runs on the bank and to really stop a chain reaction from hang, which is definitely something that we are at risk for happening over the weekend

but i think they have done something here to stem that they need to stay on top of it. >> steve: you kind of sound like joe biden in saying we have got to punish the investors, essentially, because they made a bad bet because he said i'm not going to bail them out. but i will protect the depositor. however, some of the depositors, peter, had half a billion dollars in there like roku. should they be protected by the federal government back stopping the bank they put all their dough in. >> saying i sound like biden this early in the morning, man, that's quite an insult. hey, maybe i just didn't get enough sleep or something. i do sound like biden. i don't know. what i would say is, look, it's not really about any single depositor or the depositors of silicon valley bank. this is about the integrity and trust within the system. if we lose trust in the system we are going to have a situation like 192 #, right? you know, wall street crashed,

run on the money. run on the banks and then we had a great depression. so the banking system is really a charade, it's a frequent charade. it's not really a frequent the free market.the government has d it up. you saw under the reagan administration you should say peter you sound like reagan, under the reagan administration in 1984, you know, continental illinois the largest bank failure of its time stopped -- that whole thing the blood loss there was stopped by the reagan administration and so we're seeing something similar happen in 2008 and now the pattern is happening again. this has been the case for banking systems back to the u.k. before america took leadership in the banking world. the government really has to act as that back stop really it to ensure those deposits we are going to have money stored under mattresses rather than flowing to entrepreneurs like myself but

others out there as well who need it and people looking for mortgages and loans for their cars, their assets, whatever it might be. >> steve: sure, but the question is how big a deposit do you ensure with the fdic and historically a quarter of a million dollars as we saw in the last week it can go up to $500 million, which is a lot. exit question, peter, there are a lot of people who are taking their money out of small banks and putting them into big banks. i think i read bank of america wound up with something like $15 billion worth of new deposits. i have always heard a lot of people are buying t bills because they are backed by the u.s. federal government. if you are going to give some advice to the people watching right now who are worried about their banks, what would you say? >> well, i would say, you know, i will tell you what we have done, right? so we have always kept our accounts with a small amount of money. below 250,000, the fdic limit when we are with a smaller bank.

we have been a client of silicon valley bank we were not at risk at terminal money because we kept our amounts smaller amount at silicon valley bank. the bankers there were always a little bit too cool for my taste. i like bankers boring and nerdy. i was worried about them. had them four or five years as a group we bank with. we have numerous other banks we use. i would say spreading your bets with different banks is the solution. the more, i think, intriguing question going forward is what do we do with this archaic banking system we have on our hands here? what i think we need to do is having something like block chain a decentralized system. >> steve: crypto stuff, interesting. peter rex, joining us from texas who sounded a lot like reagan. don't you think during that soundbite? absolutely. peter, thank you for joining us live. >> thank you. have great morning. take care, guys. >> steve: coming up on this thursday, a fox news alert, brand new video from the defense department showing a russian fighter jet as you can see

now for the very first time. >> brian: we can keep playing it if you want and just tell us what you see. >> you know, it's one of those things that it's an aggressive and brazen act for the russians to come out and say that it was the incould you nine reaper's fault it was obvious this is on purpose. obvious there is fuel coming out and really the fact that the russian jet survived it is kind of incredible as well. i was very disappointed to hear that our secretary of defense would not comment more on this conversation. it's clear that this was a very provocative action. and completely unnecessary. >> brian: congressman, three u.s. officials familiar with the intelligence at the highest levels said that the highest levels of the kremlin approved the aggressive actions on the military fighter jet, so, even though we were in international skies over international waters, they approved of this knowing that this could be the result.

now, you just said something interesting. you said that for the fighter jet to do that they are risking their own safety. so that would make one to conclude that they didn't do this on purpose clipping the drone, you think? >> well, certainly if the fighter pilot in that jet attempted to run into another aircraft, i mean, they would be putting their own life in risk. when i was deployed in the middle east we unfortunately saw this kind of cavalier and cowboy approach from russian fighter pilots in 2017 over syria there was a near mid-air where a russian jet very similar to this flanker that you saw almost had a mid-air with a u.s. air force jet that would have killed dozens of people. this isn't the first time. it's completely incredible that they would do this. and really, we need an apology from the russian government. >> brian: do you think we are going to get it? no. >> no. >> brian: do you think we will get $30 million back? no. they could get what the iranians got our drone.

and they were able to reverse engineer it and now they have a fleet of drones. not saying they wouldn't have got one without it but we just expedited their intelligence. so we are not trying to get it. we have no presence there. a couple things to keep in mind. people say well, we don't want world war iii? who does. with the russians, weakness gets you there quicker. they cannot afford to confront us. they cannot handle the ukrainian army. do you think they can handle nato? why don't we think boldly and strongly? >> you are exactly right. the only thing that russians respect is strength. and this is the thing that our foreign policy starts at the top. you know, we should have a strong approach in every aspect of foreign policy and now you see the weakness that's coming out of the response here. we should, obviously, demand multiple things as a result of this. but, you know, they have got this war going on in ukraine. and they are out playing around

and getting incredibly close with aggressive maneuvers to international sky to our aircraft. unacceptable. we have got to be strong and lay the law down. that hasn't happened. >> got you. my last point on this. turkey shout down a russian fighter jet in 2015. what happened? nothing. because, turkey felt as though it was their skies. russia thought it was their skies. nothing. they are tighter only way to get results if past is prologue. yesterday you diagnose something significant. sadly democrats chose not to go. went down to the border to find out how bad it is for people there on a daily basis. here are some highlights from the hearings. >> does dhs have operational control of our entire border?

>> no, sir. >> how many people do you represent in the national border patrol council. >> 16,500. >> do they believe that we have operational control of our southern border, that it is secure? >> absolutely not. >> do they feel supported by the commander-in-chief by secretary mayorkas? do they feel like they have the resource was they need to do their job? >> absolutely not. >> brian: pretty sensational. pretty direct answers. what did you glean from this? >> well, it was groundbreaking. for the first time in two years we had an administration official admit to congress that what we all know that the border is not secure. we don't have operational control. will thank you to chief ortiz for having the courage to walk that line and to lead almost 20,000 border patrol agents but for him to come out and say we don't have operational control over 60% of our southern border is not secure and i think also very bound breaking to say that we have a policy crisis is exactly right. this is our promise to america. we said we are going to have a

secure country. we said we are going to have a government that's accountable. that's exactly what we are starting to do. i can't wait to have secretary mayorkas testify in front of congress and see whether or not he agrees for the very first time that we don't have operational control of the border. >> brian: real quick, do you think that's why democrats didn't show up because they were going to sit there and watch that official say exactly what we all know that the border is not secure and mayorkas was flat-out lying? is that why the democrats didn't want to be accountable? >> well, it's likely that that is exactly right. it's so disappointing. it's disrespectful to the almost 20,000 border patrol agents. this should not be a partisan fight. we should all want our country to be secure and, unfortunately, they did not show up. they did not take advantage of this opportunity. the former chairman had zero hearings on border security. and now here was our chance. very disappointed. and, it's not surprising that they wouldn't take part in a hearing where we are actually exposing the truth about the biden administration failures.

>> brian: you are showing a bunch of people in the middle of nowhere and moved their families in the middle of nowhere that you care and what you are up against. congressman, thank you so much appreciate it? >> thank you. >> brian: go upstairs to ashley strohmier you have the breaking news. >> ashley: university of georgia senior on life support after suffering a brain hemorrhage on a spring break trip in mexico. with the help of go fund me donations, liza was flown to a u.s. hospital after getting emergency surgery to remove part of her skull. her friends say she had complained about a headache and went to her hotel room to rest. when they checked on her she wouldn't wake up. liza's friend and family are asking everyone to keep her in their prayers. embattled former los angeles mayor eric garcetti as ambassador to india. the upper chamber gave green light in 52-42 voted. seven prowks including lindsey graham backed the democrats. garcetti's nomination dragged out 600 days as he tried to beat
