>> democrats hav >> democrats have no streak of economic wins for america, but booker is in good shape. gutfeld next. >> todd: south carolina senator tim scott jumping into the race for the white house with a message of hope, optimism and opportunity. he says he is the guy to turn america around after joe biden. >> under president biden our nation is retreating from patriotism and faith. the fewest people in 30 years believe their kids will be

better off than their parents and radical left is pushing us to culture of grievance instead of culture of greatness. >> todd: with that, you're watching "fox and friends first," i'm todd piro. >> and i'm ashley strohmier >> for carley shimkus. >> ashley: is it enough to win the nomination? the senator is facing competitors like former president trump, governor ron desantis and others possibly waiting to jump in. alexandria hoff is live in washington. good morning. >> alexandria: you saw in the clip, the 57-year-old senator kicked off his campaign with a life lifted out of poverty has provided him. scott has more cash on hand than any other gop hopeful. >> joe biden and the radical left are against every rung of the ladder that helped me climb. that is why, i'm announcing

today that i'm running for president of the united states of america! [cheering] >> alexandria: last night at charleston southern universities, his campaign slogan, faith in america. after signing paperwork on friday, scott's campaign launched $6 million ad in iowa and new hampshire. current leading candidate former president trump writing, good luck to senator tim scott, the race is loading up with lots of people and tim is a big step up from ron desanctimonious. he says good luck. the former president has focused on ron desantis, who is hosting

voters in miami this week and is expected to announce has long-awaiting bid. >> my job is to lead and i will lead with vigor and energy and bold policies that make a difference. we in florida are waging a war on woke. we are fighting back against cancel culture. i have only begun to fight. >> alexandria: this is a twist, axios reporting glenn youngkin is contemplating spirit of america that made a lot of people think. president biden thinking about this new associated pres poll shows 33% of americans approve of the president's handling of the economy. talking points are plentiful and there are other big names yet to announce, chris christie, mike pence and se chris sununu just

name a few. >> todd: i've met tim scott, he is one of the nicest people i've ever met, much less in politics. now he's in the race, does he have a shot? >> one thing for certain, all candidates are flocking to america first policies, which is great for the american people. this is not about big government or elite or dc bureaucrats, these are people, candidates fighting for the american people and that is exciting. his message resonates and just like it is president trump or vivek ramaswamy, we are seeing candidates who are willing to fight for the american people, willing to fight for the forgotten man and woman and you will see over 18 months, short of next year, comparison between

will you be fighter for the american people or will you stand for the establishment. what we know, the policies work. we experienced this in the previous administration and based on their experience, tim scott touted what he did with president trump in the previous administration. vivek ramaswamy talking about bringing in military to secure the border, those are america first policies that resonate with the american people. >> ashley: former president trump didn't have anything bad to say about him. senator tim scott comes in with $22 million in hand. a comment kellyanne conway made yesterday. she said the pool is getting thick, no doubt about it, this is what president trump likes to see. do you think it hurts senator tim scott's chances when it comes to a thick pool with the gop? >> i think it is a great

opportunity to provide diverse, whole range of ideas and that is what the american people want, transparent in the process. any opportunity tim scott, donald trump or vivek ramaswamy has america first ideas is a win for each candidate. >> todd: president biden facing more negative polling. 76% of americans say the economy is in poor condition. that is a really bad number, if you're president of the united states. if biden keeps failing, will social issues like abortion allow him to hold on in 2024 like it did in 2022 or is abortion not going to be enough to make up for the fact that people in america are hurting when it comes to their money? >> that is a great question. the radical left wants to create constitutional crisis about anything, instead of taking

action on any sort of subject. look at the debt ceiling conversation, every family has had to tighten their belt and it is time for big government to do the same. the abortion idea is weaponized against conservatives, majority believe it is not okay to have an abortion in the sixth, seventh, eighth month of pregnancy when a baby can feel pain, majority of americans do not agree with that. when we see our border invaded by illegal aliens, fentanyl flooding into communities, people not being able to fill up with gas, highest inflation in 40 years, this is larger conversation than one single topic. >> ashley: if we had the chance, i would want to talk to 76% of americans who think everything is hunky dorey.

meanwhile, hillary clinton is admitting president biden's age could be an issue in 2024, but still urged voters to support him. >> a moment where he almost fell over coming down the stairs a day or two ago. is that a concern? >> it is a concern for anyone and we've had presidents who have fallen before and it was younger and people didn't go into heart palpitationes. his age is an issue and people have a right to consider it. >> ashley: she said it is an issue and still want people to vote for him. >> this is how the party operates. republican party, you have debate with different ideas and candidates, the left doesn't want a debate, transparency or

accountability. they want one person to take the torch and run with it and that is what they are doing with joe biden. >> todd: i don't know, maybe i'm skeptical, every time she opens her mouth when it talks about a presidential race, i always think she is angling to get herself in. it doesn't look like she planned that, with hillary rod ham clinton, you never know. >> ashley: a u-haul truck crashing into the white house security barriers moments after they got a call about a suspicious package. secret service taking that driver into custody. a nazi flag and other belongings were found inside the truck. nearby buildings were evacuated.

the area has been deemed safe. cause and manner of the crash are under investigation. >> todd: inside the white house yesterday, president biden concluding meeting with house speaker kevin mccarthy without a debt ceiling deal. both sides remain hopeful. the president saying i concluded productive meeting with speaker mccarthy about need to avoid catastrophe for our economy. default is off the table and only way to move forward toward a bipartisan agreement. speaker mccarthy says he plans to be in touch with the president everyday until a deal gets done. >> i thought the meeting was productive, more productive than the other meetings. we made the circle smaller, we are getting closer, don't give up on us. >> todd: that agreement needs to come soon for obligations.

newt gingrich is applauding kevin mccarthy. >> inch by inch, gradually, the biden team has come to recognize if there is default, it will go down in history as biden default, end his presidential campaign for 2024 and it is unacceptable. he will have to get somewhere. i think it is very, very important that speaker mccarthy is such a dramatic contract with speaker pelosi, she once said, vote for it to find out what is in it. he is saying no matter the pressure, the house has 72 hours, we'll have an argument, it will work out and i think that is a huge step in the right direction. i feel reasonably good after today's meeting that they are moving in the right direction, speaker mccarthy holding his ground, being reasonable, pleasant and firm is the right direction.

>> todd: americans hoping talks turn into a deal, we are 10 days from that possible june 1 default. >> ashley: roy cooper declaring state of emergency to stop school choice bill from passing the state legislature. cooper comparing the educational bill to a natural disaster. watch. >> it is time to declare a state of emergency for public education in north carolina. there is no executive order like with a hurricane or the pandemic. but it is no less important. it's clear that the republican legislature is aiming to choke the life out of public education. >> ashley: republicans push for education reform comes after state representative cotham left the gop, giving republicans super majority. cotham says on charters, we have to evolve, one size fits all in education is wrong for children.

okay. the los angeles dodgers now reinviting the sisters of indulgence to their pride night event next month after removing them from the honorary list last week. the mlb team said the nuns would not be included in the celebration. the team is walking back their decision and asking the group for forgiveness saying after feedback from diverse communitieses, los angeles dodgers would like to offer sincerest apologies to the lgbtq+ community and friends and family. jump on this know wo. >> todd: they just violated the rule with the woke mob, never give in to the woke mob. they stood their ground for 10 minutes and caved and gave in.

what is the takeaway, upset both sides and look weak in the process. you heard the phrase limousine liberals, the ones that push this. if you go to a game, dodger stadium or anywhere, you have rich people in the front and real people in the stands. rich people in the front have enough money to worry about social causes, they are not living real life, they push this and primarily latino regular, ordinary dodger fan, that is hard-core catholic and pushed to not have the individuals invited to pride night, they did not have their voice heard and that is sad commentary. >> ashley: do you think it will hurt dodger ticket sales? do you think it will push that far? >> todd: a few. i don't think the dodgers will go from the highest gate in the world to nothing. this is a bad look, bad look in

light of knowing who your fan is. you may sell box seats to rich folks who care about liberal issues, the real fan carries it in l.a. and you upset them. speaking of l.a., real fans upset about this, to basketball. denver nuggets heading to the n.b.a. finals after sweeping the l.a. lakers, denver winning 113-111 in game four. jokic breaking wilt chamberlain's record with his performance. >> jokic has to put it up. and -- >> todd: only other person in america i've seen make a shot like that is ashley strohmier. lebron james says he has his eye on the future, despite the loss. >> i have a lot to think about, to be honest. this personally, going forward,

the game of basketball. got a lot to think about. >> todd: and boston celtics looking to avoid a sweep against the heat. wouldn't it be something denver versus miami and they both arrive on brooms. they may be witches, not for me to comments. college professor launching into raid berating students because of pro-life display. >> you are not educating -- this is propaganda, what are you going to do next, anti-trans? >> this is about abortion. >> todd: that is a teacher berating the students, how the school and students are responding this, mo. >> ashley: parents ditching smart phones and turning to dumb phones instead. the father who came up with this

outburst as the students were educating fellow classmates about abortion. one was on the "the ingraham angle" last night. >> it was about the harm of chemical abortion for mothers and the children involved. i don't know if she looked at our supplies before she came and started to berate us. >> jackie: hunter college responding, saying the college is taking this matter seriously, there is an investigation into the professor's actions. released lengthy statement placing the blame on the pro-life students, that statement reads, rodriguez constructively critiqued the group members, her actions to shut down the table was justified. students for lives are spreading

lies, anti-abortion propaganda endangers people's lives and insights further actions. a student took a fetal model, chewed in her mouth and gave back to the pro-life students before spewing more profanity at them. the professor was questioned by the provost. it is unclear if the college took disciplinary action against her or the student who damaged the property. >> todd: that was sickening, what is going on? >> ashley: thanks, jackie. half inner pas think social negative is having a negative effect on their children's mental health and giving them dumb phones that are social media free, telling the free press, i'm not afraid of being

exposed to screens, i do not want them to have social media accounts or by constantly being attached to a smart phone. this is a social media free choice other than smart phones. tell us how you came up with idea? >> gab was founded around the idea of how difficult it was to find a phone for our child for one of our founders children. they went to the store to find a device and realize, all i have is something from a flip phone to a $1000 smart phone. what if i see something in between. saw need for a device that would allow a child to stay connected and not have the stuff with danger of smart technology and smart phones. since we couldn't find it, we

built it. >> ashley: it doesn't look like a nokia, it looks like a smart phone. >> correct, yeah. the gabb phone is a smart phone on hardware that you recognize if your child pulled out of their pocket, it is a smart phone, we applied gabb, it strips internet browser, no app store, no social media the child would not have social media on the account. they can stay connected, they want to talk to their friends and family, grandma and dad, they want to be picked up from school, driven to football practice. it isula the good, because tech is good -- just too much. pulls back the danger.

>> ashley: it is too much sometimes, this is an awesome idea, the kids won't be embarrassed around friends to pull their phone out. what has response been from parents? >> tremendous, we sold our first phone in 2019, now we followed up with technology like watches. the response has been tremendous, parents have been searching for a solution that allows them to stay connected with their kids, but not the worry that comes with, my gosh, i'm giving them the power of the world in their hand and they are not ready for it. it allows parents to give them tech and steps, start them with a starter phone that is some people i've heard it called training wheels until they are ready for more tech. >> ashley: in 2021, screen use

was up to eight hours and 39 minutes per day. i haven't been in school in a little bit, that is longer than a kid would sit in school for the day. those numbers are astronomical. what have sales been like? >> we have i mentioned in 2019, we started selling and we have hundreds of thousands of customers all over the united states, there is probably not a county in the united states that doesn't have some sales. our koouft customers love our solution, screen time is a big challenge, just the opportunity cost of doing something different. if you add that up, they have spent 3.75 years on a device, staring at a screen.

particular is striking a cord with the american people. it is a very polarized situation and people want justice on both sides of the aisle. we just stay here at givesendgo, the best place for justice to be served is in a courtroom, giving people due process, letting the facts come out of the situation. giving people, affording them presumption of innocence according to law, that is what we hold dear here in america. we will allow campaigns to fund raise for that very reason, to see justice be served for all parties. >> todd: unlike gofundme, givesendgo allow campaigns for people accused of crimes like daniel penny. with rise of social media as public square, how important for you to give voice to those under the american premise of innocent

until proven guilty as opposed to guilt by mob? >> that is so true, todd. we've seen over the past decade a rise and increase in mob mentality, a disreport for law and order and the justice system. at givesendgo, we want to continue to push back against that narrative and so, no, this is important for a reason. amplifying voices of people and creating narratives, it is so important that we allow people the opportunity to have the best defense available. social media amplifies voices on all sides, messaging can get misconstrued, facts lost, mob mentality can begin to rule. we've seen that in the past and need to press into this moment

of saying no, even people in difficult and what may seem like difficult and bad situations need to be afforded fundamental rights so justice can be served, the best place to be done is in a courtroom, not in the court of public opinion. >> ashley: jacob, your app is open to who people can donate to and start funds. freedom truckers raised and rittenhouse was on there, high-profile situations and people in forefront of the news. there are a few entities you cannot donate to. what are those? >> we draw the line at givesendgo is campaigns that are adversely affecting minors. we've seen situations in our culture today that are taking advantage of minors with various

ideology. two i think i think thises. we want to protect innocent young people and minors and at givesendgo, we don't allow campaigns for abortion, we want to protect minors and innocent people in the womb and protect people from transgender ideology. if you are an adult and want to use our platform to fund raise for those things, that is one thing, for children, woo we will not allow that and draw the line. the law draws the line on a lot of issues, as well. we throw it back to what the law says. if the law allows these i think thises we typically will allow them, we believe in freedom and recognize freedom we have in the united states. >> ashley: it is always good to give people another option if they are getting shut down somewhere else, we appreciate that. thank you much to this quadruple

gunshots reported while trying to give the child first aid. the child is okay, do not trust smugglers, this incident is example migrants and agents face at the southern border. title 42 expired two weeks ago, taking away ability to expel migrants quickly. meanwhile, in chicago, police officers in the city say they are facing the migrant crisis with no guidance or resources from city officials. one police officers working on the south side said she spent $300 on basic supplies for migrants sleeping on the floor of the police department. >> chicago is out of time, money and space. we're seeing 100 migrants per day arrive being dropped off at various police stations. yesterday i visited eight of those and it is not good.

thing. here are immigrantses, you guys deal with them. it is unfair, unrealistic and we didn't sign up to be a sanctuary city. it is problematic, we don't have resources and are not given resources to deal with the influx. >> todd: sheriff, isn't it dis disingenuous. when push comes to shove, i can't handle it, that seems disingenuous. >> it is quite all right for texas to be burdened with the chaos and devastation the biden administration has brought. i have little sympathy for democrat cities that have long said since 2016 that they are a

sanctuary city. we are dealing with tens of thousands a day, he's really upset over having to deal with 60 to 100,000. >> todd: fiscal year 2023, there have been one million migrant encounters at the border. chief green, will you be able to handle an influx of migrants? >> is we wouldn't be able to handle an influx of migrants, but i think one thing i would say is that this is something that obviously cities have to deal with. it is something we're going to have to figure out resources. one of my other colleagues talked about retention, there is a lot going on, but same time, is there a pathway for law

enforcement to assist in any kind of way? there is other things going on, but end of the day, this is not going away. how do we find a pathway to help, especially with a city that is the size of golden valley, almost over 22,000 people. what type of resources are there to help people, if there is a need to help them. >> todd: great point. you guys know your communities and what they can handle. it is on you and your administration to decide what works, not on the mayor of new york city to tell you, hey, here you go, deal with my mistake, not right. thank you, gentlemen, we appreciate it. a catastrophe for our economy, president biden's latest message to americans as the country inches closer to defaulting on debt. >> ashley: june 1 is coming
