girls in the far top left apparently was trying to pull the fire alarm to tell the police that there was a school shooter. >> the little girl in the middle, her father is the pastor of covenant presbyterian church. >> steve: it's absolutely heart breaking. >> todd piro joins us now with the very latest. we do have some updates. >> that fire alarm piece might be the most heart breaking thing in the most heart breaking story we have seen in a while. good morning be to all three of you. getting a look at what two brave officers experienced while confronting 28-year-old shooter audrey hale. raced into the school with guns drawn while being shot at as they arrived on scene. moved through several hallways and classrooms before putting an end to the shooting of three 9-year-olds and three faculty members. the head of covenant school catherine koontz former fbi special agent telling fox.

catherine was on a zoom call when she heard the first shot. she immediately ended the call. got up and headed straight for the shooter. she did what principals and head fasters do. of she protected her children. and one brave little 9-year-old evelyn dick house pulling the fire alarm trying to save classmates. >> bill lee's wife marie. >> parents woke up without children the children woke up without parents, without teachers. maria woke up this morning without one of her best friends. cindy peak. cindy was supposed to come over to have dinner with maria last night. after she filled in as a substitute teacher yesterday at covenant. i'm calling on the people of tennessee today to pray. >> todd: more details now being released about the shooter. being treated for emotional

disorder. also owned several guns and hid the weapons from her parents. >> we were able to talk to the parents of audrey hale and we found that she had purchased seven firearms from five local gun stores here in the middle tennessee area. they were all legally purchased. three of those guns were actually used in yesterday's murders of the six victims. >> todd: the heart broken people of nashville now banding together. take a look at your screen. the nashville predators hockey team wearing pell mets with the covenant school logo after the game in boston. the candlelight vigil will be held in nashville in honor of those six victims. back to you. >> brian: thanks, todd. four minutes after the hour. learning more about the actual hero police officers as being honored this morning for taking down the shooter, ending the massacre before it got worse. >> steve: 31-year-old michael can a lazarus zoe is a marine corps vet and former firefighter

responded to the christmas day bombing in 2020. he is the father of a young girl himself. >> ainsley: then there is 27-year-old rex engel burt. one of the first ones there on the scene. he received accommodation for lawrence jones is live at the scene in nashville. lawrence? >> lawrence: hey, good morning, family. we saw the video that was released from the two hero cops. they did what many experts say he direct threat. just precision. taken on fire. they could see it from the helicopter of the constant gunfire on these officers. and you can hear the officers really take command saying go, go, go. let's roll. let's roll. real heroes and a lot of people in nashville are thanking them because they truly saved other

lives. >> steve: lawrence, it is amazing that the police would put out the video. and that video just shows you how brave these guys are and smart they were about going they could not have gotten up to that location where the shooter was any faster and probably saved some lives. and when you see that they were able to do it in just about 10 minutes, it flies in the face of what happened in uvalde, unfortunately, when the police, you know, willy-nilly didn't respond in this fashion for over an hour. >> lawrence: yeah. as you guys know, i covered that. and i think the best clarence i can makes a someone that was on the ground there. the local police in uvalde they

did it. they didn't just think it. i just can not explain in more detail how precise they were with this. i mean, going -- it's one thing to talk about going toward bullets. it's another thing to go toward them. they did that. >> the school handled it it looked like in a proper fashion police thrive and get their guns out of the back of their truck. they walk up and someone outside that has a connection to the school says the shooter, it looks like is inside. it sounded like they said shooter's upstairs. someone was there outside to hand the cops the keys. they unlocked the door. the cops saying 3, 3. i need three of you was. they run. in and if you look at the timeline, they arrive at 10:22 a.m. by 10:27, she was dead. they show them going through classrooms on the first floor. then they hear some gunshots upstairs. >> steve: running.

>> ainsley: run up to the second floor and there's an open area and that's where they find this shooter. and she is dead within minutes. it says that rex struck the shooter down immediately. >> lawrence: can i just explain why they did that? ainsley, back in columbine strategy of clearing classroom to classroom. what happened was after they cleared each classroom, they ended up in the center. and that's where you found all the deceased children and the gunman. and so, that's why they changed it to go directly to the threat immediately instead of trying to clear each classroom. it's to save lives. >> brian: right. i want you to read. so, one of the officers' older sister said this about her brother, michael camera lazarus zoe. he obviously is very brave. braver than i ever imagined. he does his job. think about the training and classes he does. family events he had to miss.

it really does pay off. the bravery is going in knowing that the other person has a gun and is going to be an instant reaction. you don't know what you are going to find. think about this, lawrence, in uvalde we heard they waited for shields. we got to wait for shields. these guys didn't wait for shields. they said from the time they walked through the door, four minutes later the shooter was dead. >> lawrence: they didn't just wait for shields. they lied and told reporters that they engaged the shooter when they really hadn't engaged the shooter initially. so, again, the thing that impressed me about that officer there was the amount of control that he had. it's one thing to go engage the person. he was leading all of the rest of the officers, tell him which doors to clear. which direction to go. go toward the threat.

there is a lot of awards. patriot awards. back 9 blue awards every year. i'm sure these officers are going to be strong contenders for that. >> steve: no kidding. as we pointed out. one of the officers, officer englebert just won an award just last week. the police chief said that the shooter's parents felt that their child should not own weapons and believed she did not have any. "the daily mail" has got an exclusive today that says the shooter was rejected by her parents who could not accept that she was gay and trans. her mother, norma, who is a church coordinator and her father ronald refused to let audrey hale, who now recently identified as aden, refused to let the child use he/him pronouns or dress as a man in their home. so he would wait until they left home to change outfits.

and the police chief said there was other information that perhaps other family members were targets as well. >> ainsley: daily mail said shooter had high functioning autism. found two more rifles taken from the house. and we have heard -- we heard this yesterday the police said that she harbored resentment about having to attend this school as a child. i'm curious to find out, too and i'm sure this will be released. the head teacher apparently was on a zoom. heard the gunshots, went running toward the noise. and she was killed. her name is katherine koonce. and then the custodian mike hall how did he get involved? we heard one of the little girls pulled the fire alarm. another little girl was the pastor's daughter. was she targeting? i would imagine probably not. steve no single person was targeted. >> brian: before they entered

the building. president biden speaking about it within seconds. he wants to talk about assault rifles ban and some ridiculous comparison he wants to bring up. day one he talked about ice cream before addressing the tragedy in nashville and again he makes some disparaging comment about josh hawley. he thought this was a good idea. >> sir, do you believe that christians were targeted in the nashville school shooting do you believe that christians were targeted? >> i have no idea. >> josh hawley believes they were what do you say to that. >> well, i probably don't then. [chuckle] i have no idea. >> steve: he has no idea. so, what the police are saying no particular individual was targeted but the building, the church building, the school was a target. here is josh hawley with laura last night talking about whether or not it should be investigated as a hate crime given the fact that the church was the target?

>> police in nashville have said this school was targeted. it wasn't random. it wasn't happenstance. no, they were targeted. that is a federal hate crime. there should be a federal hate crime investigation. federal government should make all of its resources available to nashville police. we need prevent this kind of thing from happening again. and, to do that, laura, we need to know how it happened now. we need to know the hateful rhetoric that led to this. what the influences on this shooter were. we need to be clear about the truth here. when you target christians, you target religious believers, that's a hate crime. >> brian: what do we know ahead of time. we know that she was seeing a therapist. what did the therapist know about how dangerous this person is? we also know they were able to purchase seven legal guns. of three of which were used in this attack. now, it's amazing to me that a legal purchases in guns are only in 13% of mass shootings. most people get them legally. in a background check should it

say undergoing psychological therapy? should it say it will autistic? i'm sure no gun store owner wants to say good i sold a gun if they think they sold a gun to somebody that is going to be a mass shooter. >> ainsley: the problem is she is 28 years old. not a minor. >> brian: should have been something along the way is there things in the background? why haven't we seen the manifesto yet. we would love to find out. it looks like we have a lot to go through to find out what the psychologic approach is. >> ainsley: we have heard her name a lot. we need to hear the names of the officers. those are the heroes. those are the ones that went in and prevented more children from dying and more faculty from dying and we thank them for their service. >> steve: indeed. >> ainsley: congressman jim jordan pressing the irs why they sent an agent to matt taibbi's house while he was testifying before congress. this is an irs agent. the backlash unfolding over the

timing of this -- is this a coincidence or was this targeted? >> brian: football's biggest stars coming out possible change to thursday night football they fear jeopardizing their safety. what the nfl wants to add ahead of next season.

analyzed by the irs and sidelined. no one was ever forced to pay for that i believe this current president of the united states learned i can do anything i want. so he weaponized the irs with 80,000 new agents. some of which are allowed to be armed. what's the big deal he says? case in pointed, happened earlier on march 8th or 9th. when matt taibbi is actually testifying about the weaponization of government what he was asked to deliver twitter files the pandemic and russian investigation and everything else. as it's being revealed and is he testifying and gets nothing but road accusations from democrats. the irs is actually knocking at his door so march the 9th the day he was there in congress the irs visited his house and told him hey, you have got to contact the local office and talk about the past two prior years of tax returns. now, here's the thing they showed up in person.

usually as everybody knows is told by the irs we will send you a letter or we will why would they send a person? it looks like a crazy, terrible coincidence jim jordan the house judiciary chair wanted to know when he sent a letter to the irs saying what gives? it looks like that irs action could be interpreted as an attempt to intimidate a witness before congress sent two letters one to the irs commissioner and one to janet yellen: how often do agents show up at someone's house we heard of law enforcement not the irs. usually get a letter or accountant. they said they want to know what taibbi's role in the twitter files had had anything to do with the visit. trump was banned. shadow censoring the hunter

biden laptop story. he said i want to waited to see if they respond to jim jordan's letter. for those asking i don't want to comment on the. pending the answer to jim jordan's letter. i did feel the committee should be aware of the situation. >> brian: they said this. they said that they were worried about identity theft with him and looking at 2020 and 2021 stacks returns. >> ainsley: no there is not a problem there. >> brian: is he expecting a refund. jim jordan is incensed. listen. >> very rare. call your accountant, call you, first send you a letter. but as you point pointed out while is he testifying, award-winning journalist, "new york times" best seller testifying in front of congress it on the weapons of the federal government. testifying in that committee hearing democrats are asking who the sources are violating the first amendment, attack the first amendment. while all that is going on the

irs is knocking on his door, left him a note saying we'll be back in touch with you after the weekend. on the following monday. think about that. just a normal american, the irs leaves a note on your door and says we're going to be back in touch with you after the weekend. think about what did you go through over the weekend. >> steve: tortured. the question is was the visit moronic or malicious? michael shellenberger one of the other journalists who looked at the twitter files said this yesterday in d.c. >> maybe it's a coincidence that the irs happened to visit matt taibbi on the kay that he was testifying on the weaponization of the federal government against american citizens. maybe somebody sending a message. if it's the latter it this is deeply inappropriate and maybe illegal. i'm very glad to see that congressman jordan is going to be looking into this. obviously there has got to be some paper trail on this. we need to see what is going on because it's extremely troubling if, indeed, we have seen the irs

being weaponized against matt tiberiasy. >> brian: just think about what we're all in for with the 80,000 extra agents that are now fortified by that ridiculous rescue plan the president jammed down our throats that jacked up inflation which we're still living with. >> steve: fdr used the irs to harass newspaper publishers who opposed the new deal. jfk used the irs to attack tax exempt status of conservative organizations and richard nixon's white house gave the irs a list of targets to, as white house counsel john dean once said use the available federal machinery to screw our political enemies. >> brian: obama did of course. >> steve: they have been doing this. >> ainsley: beginning of time. >> brian: obama did lois lerner skated.

>> steve: a great piece today in the "new york post" describing the irs through history and how it has targeted people. >> brian: thursday night football. sunday or monday night. been a boon for ratings and for fans, for players they don't love it. why? short week. they play sunday. is the most physical sport in the world outside maybe rugby. and they have got to go play again on thursday. what makes it worse is when you don't know that you have to play on thursday. and that's what the nfl is considering. a flex schedule that will allow networks who pay a lot of money to pick a better game. a lot of times teams are matched up looks like greats preseason matchup when the season goes along due to injuries are under performance have a terrible game of the you want to have the ability if you are a network to flex it out and pick a better game. the problem is the players don't like that idea. they want mentally and physically to know if they have to have a midweek game,

especially if it means they have got to have two. >> ainsley: the story is they want to add another thursday night game. normally play one and now they want to play two. if you are good. >> brian: some will play none. >> ainsley: by listen talking that makes more sense to me then why these players don't want to do it because they are worried about the injuries does this mean they can change the schedule immediately. fans think they are going on sunday and now have to change it to thursday? >> brian: absolutely. that's what john mayer brought up. what about the fans, the owner of the giants? >> steve: so a team like kansas city, which won the super bowl. you know, they obviously would probably wind up playing more than one of these flex games. patrick mahomes responding to a tweet yesterday said this: the nfl announced that teams can now have two thursday night football games per season. limit was one now it's changed. flexioning for thursday night football is not happening for now. mahomes put up face palm emoji

right there. and rg 3 said. >> ainsley: why why why. >> a legal that continuously says it's all about upper improving player safety. health of players at risk playing one game with only three dates' rest isn't smart. playing two it ridiculous. >> brian: roger goodell weighed in. this is for amazon. i don't think we are putting amazon over players' interest. we look at data with respect to injuries and impact on players. i think we have the data to make it very clear. i don't show a high injury rate. >> i don't think we are putting amazon or players' interest. drove our decisions throughout the 12 or so years of thursday night football and how it's

evolved. we have data clear it doesn't show higher injury rate. we recognize shorter weeks. i hear from a lot of players, too. they love the 10 days afterwards. in fact they call it a mini buy. so there is some benefits on that side. so have you different fews. you want to consider all of them we have to try to balance all of the views. >> brian: biggest problem is notice. 15-days notice is that enough to do it. >> the kansas city chiefs look like they have a good year this year. if they start under performing. amazon paid all this money do you want to be stuck with bad game? >> ainsley: j.j. watt talk about the fans. think they are going to a sunday game. buy their tickets and change to thursday. roger goodell's point i'm sure they love that 10-day waiting period. they don't play again until two more sundays. when your job is all about performance and not as good on a

thursday night as good as you could be on a sunday night because your body is recovered. then do you really care about those 10 days afterwards you? would rather have a great game your best game. >> steve: there is nothing good on thursday nights any way. this is good. a step in the right direction. great for fans. >> brian: we will see what happens. >> ainsley: coming up duel border hearings on capitol hill. >> steve: congresswoman clawt joins us. ranchers causing a lot of damage to his property. >> brian: also on guest list senator rand paul, tom kelly and dave rubin. if you are one of those people forgot. you will have time to address your schedule.

york's congressional district runs along the border. this crisis is directly harming my constituents as drugs and illegal aliens are trafficked along the border. under president biden's failed leadership, our borders are less secure and our communities are at risk. >> is that the attention? can anyone be in inhe wanted. claudia tenney joins us along with more on the northern border and texas ranger and ranch broker vonn box joins us. thanks to the both of you, for you, von, mayorkas says look, we have expelled 1.4 million people more than anyone else. we are doing a great job. what should he know? >> well, he knows that he is not doing a great job. it's kind of like the kid that brings a report card hope new yorking knows is he not succeeding at all in securing our border.

>> brian: look over the southwest. 2,020,458,000 cross. 1.7, the next year, had when somebody else becomes president, and then it doubles again to 20.3 virtually and now in 2023 we got a million plus already crossing. spring just started. can you imagine what we're going to be looking at. now look at the northern border, congresswoman tenney, what should people know? why have had increase of over 850% at the northern border. 600 percent increase in drug smuggling. we have human trafficking. it's a disaster. at lo of that is because we have put so much stress on the system on the southern border that the cartels, who basically control both borders have now moved their operations to the northern border. can you literally get on a plane a commercial airliner with a fake passport go to canada no visa required. take an uber to the border. and the border cartels will get you across illegally and can you

go anywhere in the united states and as the border patrol told me i spent an entire day with our northern border patrol. they said you can go anywhere in the united states from the northern border or the southern border as we know. but understand something, that means our entire country is actually an open border and all of our citizens are at risk. not to mention the cost to our taxpayers. >> brian: von, how long have you been in the area to witness what our illegal immigrants have been doing? >> well, i was born and raced here in south texas and i'm 65 years old. >> brian: what's the big difference now then? tell me your life, von? what's changed? >> used to bureau growing up down here when the illegals would come across. they were actually looking for work. these people are not looking for work. you know, what people don't understand the borders are the injection site where they are injecting the criminals and the drugs into our country yes they are doing damage here but the damage is going to be done throughout the country.

>> brian: we are seeing it. we have got 35 to 40,000 illegals here. one of the big stories congresswoman tenney is we should feel bad for them because having troubling finding work in new york city. do you feel bad for them? >> look, kathy hochul our governor has proposed an additional billion dollars of taxpayer money. raising taxes to accommodate the migrants coming across the border. that's an incentive. we know these incentives have been put in place by the biden administration. you showed video after video. yeah, we are going across the border because we are going to get something for it. as the rancher rightly says, they are not coming for a job. they are coming for benefits. there are a very small number that are coming for asylum claims. we also have really bad guys in cartels that are running the border. that's what is really happening. >> brian: guess what, von, it's going to get worse because we are sending them toe college. we actually have sullivan community college going to start giving them a college education. why would they stay in their countries when we can give them everything here on our backs

while we are 33 trillion in debt? it makes no sense. congresswoman tenney, thanks for doing what you are doing. and von box, we'll do the best we can to fight for you, thank you. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> straight ahead. america is facing electrician shortage in the push to go green. next guest is so busy he has to turn down customers for months at a time. the spark the industry needs to attract workers next ♪ ♪ we're going to walk down to electric avenue ♪ but now that i got the inspire implant, it's making me think of doing other things i've been putting off. like removing that tattoo of your first wife's name. inspire. learn more and view important safety information at inspiresleep.com. there's a different way to treat hiv. it's every-other-month, injectable cabenuva. for adults who are undetectable, cabenuva is the only complete, long-acting hiv treatment you can get every other month. cabenuva helps keep me undetectable.
