this morning, brooke. >> the families of the victims who lost their lives, we are honoring them at a vigil. all six victims from the deathly rampage that left three 9-year-olds and three faculty members of the covenant school data. the family of 9-year-old evelyn dieckhaus lost her life trying to pull a f fire alarm ad an unthinkable spirit her sister said again, i don't want to be an only child. her family adding, our hearts are completely broken. we cannot believe this has happened. evelyn was a shining light in this world. katherine koonce was on a call at the time of the shooting. she hung up and went for the shooter after three gunshots, something that her friend said she would do for her students. >> she was an absolute champion for her students and her

students always knew that she was in their corner. >> she was an educator herself, so she would tutor them, encourage them and the smartest person in the room. >> the daughter worked for the school for a decade and spoke out and said this feels like a bad dream. i have watch school shootings happen over the years and never thought that a person trying to solve a temporary person with a permanent solution. in the meantime, more detailed breakdown of the killer's 14 minute shooting spree. just before 10:00 a.m., audrey hale pulling into the school parking lot with a series of instagram messages before shooting through the glass door at the school and making her way through the hallways in the classroom. by 10:21 a.m. the officers arrived on the scene with gunfire. 3 minutes later the officers engaged with hill and heroic efforts to stop the shooting. the two officers identified as

rex englebert and michael collazo receiving the foundational award for quick response to the tragedy which may have saved the lives of many more students and staff. nashville police say hale was armed with several guns. >> they were able to talk to the parents of audrey hale. we found she purchased seven firearms from five local gun stores here in the militant area. they were all legally purchased and three guns were actually used in yesterday's murders of the six victims. >> officer say this shooter was treated for emotional disorder and described as quiet and shy, todd, ashley. >> todd: brooke thank you. in the wake of the tragedy, president biden making multiple statements with cone ownership. >> air states, everybody thinks the second amendment is absolute. who are not allowed to own an automatic weapon or a machine gun. you are not allowed to have so

many things. but guns would be the number one killer of children in america, guns, number one. it is sick. >> todd: in fact, you can own a machine gun. the latest cd d.c. data show 641 more motor vehicle deaths in children and firearm deaths butt something the white house demanding republicans passed gun control legislation. >> we need republicans in congress to show some courage. we need to ban muscle rifles, those weapons of war do not belong in our streets. >> todd: dan bongino also calling out the white house press secretary for rushing to politicize the shooting. >> thought it would be a good idea to go up to the white house to give a speech about gun control. this'll weapons band which by the by the department of justice and self know didn't work. you see the picture right there.

now, if i were at the white house press secretary, which i am not and i went out after the tragic incident the first thing i would think it is i should probably speak like i'm speaking to the parents right now. if you were speaking to the parents who found out their lives completely destroyed and they will wake up the next morning in a child's empty bedroom and prepare them breakfast and even though they are dead, you don't want to give a speech about gun control. >> todd: the white house is ignoring that they will not abide by gun laws and restriction will come down on lawful gun owners. >> ashley: now to another fox police alert, and other is fighting for his life from the hospital a shooting at an apartment complex yesterday. the police responded to shots fired call after 5:00 p.m. after a woman called 911 saint she was shocked. the suspect shot the two officers before barricading himself inside of an apartment. the police took one into custody after initially responded to the

scene. derek crumley was killed in the shooting and albert moore remains in critical condition after undergoing emergency surgery. the mayor of huntsville read a statement that reads in part, "send your prayers to the officers, the families and the huntsville police department." >> todd: the congressional staffer for broad daylight over the weekend expected to make a full recovery. senator paul rand said recovering from surgery to treat the deep knife wound to his head. >> strong, athletic young man and in good spirits. i talked to him. it is going to take time, but we all are hoping the best and hoping it gets better as soon as he can. something has to change. we have to do a better job. it is my opinion that for some nonviolent crimes, too long but for some violent crimes we don't incarcerate people long enough. in fact might think the person who did this come i don't think fit see the outside of a jail.

>> todd: the suspect glenn neil facing multiple charges including assault with intent to kill. get this, he was released from prison after 12 year sentence just 24 hours before the attack. that conviction charges of compelling individual to live a life of without his or her consent. i think you know what that is short for it. he is set to appear in court monday. later this morning senator paul will join "fox & friends" on this horrific attack. >> ashley: dhs secretary alejandro mayorkas sparring with senate republicans during a heated hearing on the border crisis climbing once again for the southern border is secure. >> mr. secretary, our southern border is not secure, is it? >> when i speak of the security of the border, i'm speaking of maximizing the resources we have to deliver the most effective results. so let me assure you, we are

secure. >> mr. secretary, you understand you have a credibility problem with the congress and with the american people, don't you? >> i have full confidence in the integrity of my conduct. >> todd: the president of the national border patrol council joins us now, sean, how can s not? >> you know, it is not surprising. for the last two years we have seen record numbers of smuggling, record numbers of people being crossed over the northern border, southern border coastal regions. we have seen record number of drugs and largely ignored by this administration. so i am not surprised that we can answer those questions. >> ashley: yeah, i mean, to your point with the drugs just flowing across the border,

senator lindsey graham who was talking about the severity of the fentanyl crisis. >> america is under attack. our nation is being attacked by foreign powers called drug cartels in mexico. the japanese attack american pearl harbor, they killed about 3,000 americans. 9/11 when attacked about 3,000. this is the largest attack on americans homeland by foreign power in the history of the nation. 70,000 americans were poisoned by fentanyl last year. >> ashley: sean, is it not a slap in the face to every single american news had to deal with the fentanyl crisis, whether it has taken the life, the life of a loved one or dealing with someone who addiction centers right now? is it not a slap in the face to hear american say, "they are delivering effective results." >> it is.

in the failed policies show it all across america. the drugs, the people coming across, the lack of security on our borders for the last couple of years is going to continue to get worse until this administration takes it serious. >> todd: sean there are number of senators say the only conclusion they can draw is alejandro mayorkas wants open borders. do you agree? >> it sure does sound like that. and the policies or lack of policies to address the secure borders reflect that. >> ashley: we have to get to this the national border council president testify before the house on lack of support at the northern border during this unprecedented surge, listen to this. >> when you look right now, we are deploying one agent for about every 30 miles. it is impossible to patrol the

border. when we look at the technology we can throw as much as we want at this issue, but if we do not have the manpower, we will not be able to detect and apprehend these people. >> ashley: you know, sean you are very knowledgeable about the northern border, this sector. tell us, is it impossible to secure it with what they are doing right now? >> it is. i mean, we need more boots on the ground as you heard. we need to be able to get out into the field and patrol the border. >> todd: judd said this is unsustainable. when will we reach the tipping point, sean, or are you already there? >> i think we are already there. i think this administration definitely needs to take it serious. >> todd: i don't know if they are, sean walsh, thank you for your time. we appreciated. starbucks howard schultz set to testify about the company's

union opposition. this testimony will be before the senate. amidst elevation of unionbusting and appear before the health education, labor pension after snyder bernie sanders threatened to subpoena him. schultz trying to sidestep a hearing with starbucks involved with the effort but scholz is instrumental in setting the coffee chance policies. and ted on the committee will join us next hour and what to expect from this hearing and why it matters. videos like this when we are about to show calling for an end to the willow project, the last oil pipeline trending across tiktok. >> stop the willow project. it will make climate change reversible. petition before it is too late. >> todd: this video may be a ccp propaganda campaign. and deaf exposing that net

domestic next. >> ashley: tiktok in cancer freedom said his account was taken down because of china criticism and now he is demanding congress banned the app and we will hear from the former nba player next. >> i downloaded tiktok because i wanted to expose on tiktok all of the china abuses literally in one week. they banned me from the app.

>> joe biden said to this country he would not leave a single american out. tony blinken testified last week there are 175 million americans and many are hostages. why did they keep that promise for so long? >> i want to move along because i could talk to you about this all day. just to finish -- >> it was the worst and most embarrassing decision in my opinion. i would have went out before them. it is so embarrassing. we had there would have gone out with strength and dignity from the airbase. which is anywhere in the world. the reason isn't afghanistan. the reason one hour away from china makes it -- >> 13 american service members were killed near the kabul airport during the u.s. withdrawal. former nba player and human rights activists enes kanter freedom is calling

on congress to ban tiktok after they banned his account after posting videos like this slamming beijing on its human rights abuses. >> i actually started to post on tiktok all of the china abuses literally and in one week they banned me from the app. i knew that it was going to happen. then i actually text one of my congressman dome at congressman france and please them why they banned me? >> ashley: he was banned for 12 days while lawmakers pressed the ceo tiktok with ties to the ccp. that tiktok claims the band was in error. >> todd: always just an error. a new report with open cash stop will a movement a ccp influence campaign where beijing boasting videos that are harmful to the

interest. >> stopped the willow project. it will make climate change your first look. pier and sign a petition before it's too late. >> todd: uncover these potential red flags and joins me now, and need at this is fascinating if not unsurprising. walk us through what you found. >> i was actually home with all of my family. my daughter -- o >> todd: i am going to interrupt you for a second's many apologies i'm having trouble with your sound. i'm going to revamp. i'm going to focus on the fec

commissioner when you raise these issues to him. this is concerning, ccp has a well documented record of using tiktok to carry out foreign influence campaigns and sway political discourse in this country. this review of the willow project accounts fits with that disturbing pattern. to me, what she has uncovered basically shows how quickly the foreign actors can start a movement among, you guessed it unsuspecting american youth peer that is against our interest and we get pulled over and over again. please continue walking us through exactly what you found. >> yeah, there is so much that i look at that ai generated and anti-willow project movement and

i actually -- with the commissioner does appear to be ccp influence campaign. but we never really know for sure. that is one of the full research ccp campaign. we can never really know that china undermines the kids. like i said, this is important to know. >> todd: we are still having trouble with the sound so we have to cut you up. the word fascinating, i think is what we need to pay attention to. but also concerning because we have to realize that china knows how to play this game of chess. we often hear times play checkers and unfortunately, that is not going to defend our nation from this malign information warfare that we are seeing right now. the military is to handle the

military warfare aspect of it. we need to beef up our resources so china does not feel involved in on the world stage. when it comes to information specifically tiktok, this is the reason bipartisan effort in d.c. is underway to make sure that tiktok can't do this on behalf of the ccp, if a man fact, this is what the ccp is doing with regard to tiktok and specifically the willow project. we will keep on top of this and keep you posted on any new developments. in the meantime 24 minutes after the hour a hard deadline for the irs to answer questions about sent to journalists matt taibbi's house shockingly at the same time testifying on the twitter files, we got the details. >> ashley: lawmakers to allow therapist to take children as young as 12 years old away from their parents just because they weren't supportive for being transgender. our next guest is fighting back against the bill in here to call out what she says is

was in 2016. you have to hear this, california parents horrified after democrats in the state push a new bill that gives therapists the power to take children as young as 12 years old away from their homes and allow them to enroll in a mental health facilities without any parental consent. >> ashley: a california mom and leader with the parent advocacy group on duty who testify in front of lawmakers against this bill and joins us now. aaron, good money but tell us what was so concerning other than the obvious when you testified? >> will, what i pointed out was the fact that this is an aggregation of rights once again. and here in california, we get to parent our kids until age 12 and the state can take them hear what i call this build the state sanctioned kidnapping bill because there doesn't need to be in the allegation abuse against

a parent or a serious threat of suicide of the child before a school counselor can unilaterally decide to take that child and place them in a residential facility. in the world of transgenderism, that means a child who goes to a school counselor and says that they are transgender and their parent will not support them, that child can be whisked off to lgbqt community facility and kept from school that day. this bill is terrifying and should terrify every parent in the country because here in california it gets passed along to other states. >> todd: i think your description of this is very act. you think of kidnapping a guy with a gun forcing someone into a car. but really, kidnapping basically when i hear this, i feel a pair of him as an argument with a 12-year-old child which every

single parent and 12-year-old child will argue at some point. if that child wants to they can make a case to be removed from that home and the parents have no say in it. am i hearing this correctly? >> that is correct here that is correct. the parents are not involved. the parents -- there is not even an allegation of abuse. there is not an allegation of the parent in the home. so if the school counselor -- let's talk about with these counselors are pure of the is not very high. these are counselors who are indoctrinate her's. and they get to decide where your child goes that evening. it is just a terrifying bill. >> ashley: so when they try to reason with this, the build, "over one half of surveyed reported not being able to get permission from the parents or guardians are sometimes a barrier to accessing into a health services." did they ever consider that

because they are 12 years old and the fact that the parents should know what is best for their kids? >> well come i always asked the questions, what is this based on and where's the data coming from? i don't believe that data is close to being true. there was a bill -- this bill originated in 2010. it was supposed to stop suicide. it was supposed to decrease suicide in the state of california. this bill was originally proposed, permitted 12-year-olds to get mental health counseling without parental consent. that is it. since 2010, the number of 10-14-year-olds who committed suicide has increased, similarly with those kids who are 15 and 25. the suicide has increased. the bill failed, it failed ten years ago and instead of

repealing the bill, they were doubling down on the bill and giving more power to school counselors and mental health providers. >> todd: big picture here, erin, what is going on here? why are states like california, not just california but like california trying so hard to eliminate the rights of parents and give those very rights to the government? >> that is a very good question. they are trying to destroy the family. look, i'm the democrat and this is coming from a democratic family. i don't know what is going on in our country right now but certainly looked at as pariahs and the state is looking at and taking the place of parents rights, including teachers and administrators. and mental health providers. so, i don't know, it is pure destruction of the family is all i can think about. >> todd: don't ask a lot would argue democrat is nothing near

what we see this far left attitude they have with situations like this. my question is, what about these people trying to push this so hard? >> money. it is always money, money and is the answer to everything. >> todd: it is funny you say that because when i was in california in law school i had an entertainment professor who said when you want to figure out why anything happens and the industry, specifically it boils down to money and sex the alarm bells went off in my head because not just entertainment now but every aspect of our l life. >> that is correct, that is correct. >> ashley: for people not from california and never lived there when you hear that, startling. it is concerning especially for the future of america and our kids because they are the future of america. erin friday, thank you for your time this morning. we appreciate you coming on. >> thank you for having me come

peer at george mason university, they join me now, good morning, gentlemen. >> good morning. >> ashley: andrew, will go to you first. are you shocked push back after the announcement? >> no, not at all. the campus to have this type of reaction, and once you apologize to your governor, it is quite childish that students on campus treating him this way. it is supposed to be an event to congratulate missing graduates. it is not supposed to be a political event but the students are trying to make it one. >> ashley: what about you,

have you spoke to anyone opposed to him coming and what do they say? what is the reason? >> i spoke to them and the students are complaining about this, obviously sagging he's racist, transphobic, whatever. but obviously, when you ask him about his policies as governor, they truly don't know anything about what he has done. so definitely, they are just being told what he has done. >> ashley: so basically they have nothing to back it up with. >> basically, they left anything. >> ashley: andrew, do you think this happens a lot on the campus? >> oh, yeah, it happens all the time. it doesn't matter the political speaker as long as they identify as conservative or lined with republicans, the students on campus will automatically go out and protest. and what the individual's true

stance is on versus specific topics. it is just there, republicans, they will protest and don't have any arguments to back up. spit went to the republicans pushback on this? >> yes. we have a few groups on campus that will continue to hold strong in their beliefs. we want to make sure that our voices are heard on campus. mason does advocate for inclusivity and diversity and we plan on holding up to those ideals. >> ashley: what do you think will happen to america when these students, america's young people get out into the real world and come in contact with people in the workforce were really everyday life that they don't agree with? don't you think this is dangerous to not have people integrate with different thoughts about situations and politics? doesn't it make more sense to

have people have healthy discussion for the future? >> it certainly does. it is a threat to the freedoms and everything our country holds dear. at campus before, we just recently covered a story at the university of pittsburgh where we talked about how activists canceling conservative speakers and all of these wonderful speakers that come to the university are getting there attempting to shut down. but they are not succeeding. but i think when you start to limit free speech and what was once a free society slowly to dissipate in america, especially college campuses, i think that is when you start eroding into, you know, something that doesn't look like america. it is definitely america that i feel will grow up in. it is definitely a concerning

part for our future. >> ashley: it is scary and i'm scared for you guys. here is one that doesn't want glenn youngkin to speak at the school. listen to this. >> in a society when you hear people's ideas but when they target people on this campus, it enrages people. we are upset about this decision. >> ashley: andrew, what is your response to that? >> i mean, everybody is open to their own opinion. but to shut somebody down because they oppose your beliefs is absolutely absurd. mason, like i mentioned before advocates for free speech and once you have an open dialogue on campus, i actually applaud mason's administration for coming out with a statement saying they back up governor youngkin and allowing him to speak because they do strongly believe on public university, everybody should be able to express their opinions. >> ashley: you know, right now as we said the university president is still backing this.

let's hope that they stay firm with this and the left doesn't make him cave. that is always my concern with situations like this but hopefully it stays that way it is. ken meekins and andrew frohmiller, good luck to you both. thank you for your time this morning. >> thank you. >> ashley: you're welcome. >> todd: meeting ahead, former university of kentucky's riley gaines pointing out the hypocrisy of the university of pittsburgh after protesters blocked campus streets ahead of riley gaines speech on monday. making headlines for speaking out against transgender leah thomas who she toggled with the ncaa last year. protesting the speech after the university pay $26,000 in school funding to host a trance activist for a campus last week. gains tweeting yesterday, when dylan comes, he gets paid $26,000 from school funding. when riley gains comes, she is

thinking a different way, but you are wrong when you protest so hard that it shuts it down and you are silencing people. that is what is wrong. obviously, it is your right to protest. your right to speak up. but my issue and i think the issue that a lot of people take is when they push so hard that you are silencing people. what will that look like in the future? i was talking to those gentlemen. i mean, what will happen when they get to the workforce went 25, 26 and somebody that they don't agree with says something? are they going to run to their teacher? >> todd: yes. >> ashley: they will run to their boss, oh, they offended me, so what? you have to deal with it. >> todd: that is the problem, ashley. i thought about this and i completely agree with you but many times they go argue to their bosses and the corporations -- that is why we have these woke corporations forcing woke policies. not necessarily because 65-year-old ceo wants it but the

65-year-old ceo doesn't want to deal with the pressure from the 25-year-old. >> ashley: they shouldn't be the ceo if they keep caving. that is literally their child. they have to stand firm and it boils down to everybody. and they cannot take anything that anybody says what they think. >> todd: the problem is, they can't be the ceo of every company in america, especially for running for president. but you raise a good point and that is what i worry about. i worry corporations are the final frontier. >> ashley: they are. >> todd: so to some extent, these groups are winning. >> ashley: once again, it is just dividing the country even more. all we can do is hope and pray there are those people out there that hold their ground. that includes the ceos. >> todd: the u.s. and china, talk show host said the prison system is worse then... wait for it, china's against

after using the dexcom g7, my a1c has never been lower. i lead line dancing three times a week, and i'm just living a great life now. (donna) it's so easy to use. dexcom g7 has given me confidence and control, everything i need is right there on my phone. (female announcer) dexcom is the number one recommended cgm brand. call now to get started on dexcom g7. >> todd: fox news alert, nashville will have a city-wide vigil tonight. we're hearing from the families, as we learn the victims were spending their final minuteses trying to save lives. you awatching "fox and friends first," i'm todd piro. >> ashley: i'm ashley strohmier. we are now seeing video.
