** >> todd: a fox news alert. we are nine days out from a possible default and still we've got no deal on raising the debt ceiling. are we closer? we'll see. you're watching "fox and friends first" on tuesday morning, i'm todd piro. >> ashley: i'm ashley strohmier in for carley shimkus. talks continue as the race for the deadline is on. both sides signalling they are moving toward a solution. the president saying in a statement, i just concluded a productive meeting with speaker mccarthy about the need to prevent default and avoid

catastrophe. default is off the table and only way to move forward is in good faith toward a bipartisan agreement. >> todd: the speaker vowing to be in touch with the president every single day until a deal gets done. >> i thought the meeting was productive. i thought it was more productive than the other meetings, we made the circle smaller andul somewhater, we are getting closer, don't give up on us. >> todd: that agreement needs to come soon to fulfill the nation's current spending obligations. >> ashley: in north carolina, roy cooper declaring state of emergency in last ditch effort to stop school choice bill from passing the legislature. cooper comparing the bill to a natural disaster. watch. >> it is time to declare 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 is clear that the republican legislature is aiming to choke the life out of public education. >> ashley: republicans push comes after state representative cotham left, giving republicans majority. one size fits all in education is wrong for children. >> todd: two after the hour. video of art professor at new york city college going viral after berating students. >> ashley: jackie ibanez has details. >> jackie: that hunter college professor was cursing at the students on campus and it is caught on video, watch. >> you are not educating -- this is propaganda. what do you do, anti-trans next? is that what you are going to do

next? >> no, we are talking about abortion. >> you are tripping my students. >> i'm sorry about that. >> no, you are not. you can't even have a baby. you don't know, get this -- out of here. >> jackie: that is professor rodriguez, she is facing backlash for her violent outburst. it happens at the students were educating fellow clas classmates on dangers of abortion. he joined us on the "the ingraham angle" last night. >> it was about chemical abortion and the dangers for the mothers and children involved. i don't know if she looked at our supplies before she came and started to berate us. >> hunter college says the college issic taking this matter seriously, the provost has an

investigation into the professor's action. there is a lengthy statement defending the professor's actions and placing the blame on the pro-life students. the statement reading, rodriguez constru constructively -- students for life is spreading lies at hunter and other schools, antiabortion propaganda endangers lives. a student took a fetal model, chewed in her mouth and gave it back before spewing more profanity. the professor was questioned by the dean of campus relations, unclear if the college took disciplinary action against her or the student who damaged the display. >> todd: the last thing you read

is reprehensible. parents and students are paying this individual for privilege of teaching them and this is how she treats them. we live in an interesting world, jackie ibanez. thunderstorms threatening central states, potentially bringing large hail and damaging winds to texas and oklahoma. >> ashley: janice dean has the fox weather forecast. what is going on? >> janice: potential for storm damage today in some of the same spots that got hail, damaging winds and torn other than tos yesterday. for parts of texas to oklahoma, looking at radar, things have calmed down. things start to perk up. severe storm threat for the same regions, not only today, but tomorrow. this is lingering area of low pressure not moving quickly. know what to do if there is a watch or warning and where to get the watches and warnings.

take a look at the radar. things perk up again later this afternoon into wednesday. not only the potential for severe storms, but heavy rainfall that could cause flash flooding. rounds of storms today and heading into tonight and tomorrow. that severe risk will exist through wednesday and thursday, but again, heavy rainfall could cause flash flooding and this will linger. speaking of heavyin ra, florida, i am sorry as we get into memorial day weekend. if you have plans to southeast, mid-atlantic, we have something brewing. could it be prop cal? it will bring potential for heavy rain and flooding for florida toward mid-atlantic and hopefully not the northeast, the forecast looks good. we have to watch this area of low pressure the next couple of

days. there is rain to come, several inches for east coast of florida as area of low pressure lingers off the coast. this is not good, memorial day wash out. >> ashley: fort lauderdale just got hammered with rin. >> jessica: epic, historic rainfall. >> ashley: flooded part of the airport. >> todd: good for fleet week. they are used to it. >> janice: i will bring in fleet week tomorrow. >> todd: tim scott roaring into the 2024 race and prepares to hit the trail in iowa and new hampshire. we do not live in a nation of grievance, we live in a nation of greatness. you can be optimistic, but strong. >> ashley: the ladies of "the view" respond to scott's message.

>> until he is the wolf, he can stop talking about -- >> clarence thomas thomas syndrome. >> ashley: talking about it with tomi lahren. don't go anywhere. with gold bond... you can age on your own terms. retinol overnight means... the smoothing benefits of retinol. are now for your whole body. plus, fast-working crepe corrector diminishes wrinkled skin in just two days. gold bond. champion your skin.

>> todd: republican senator tim scott announcing his candidaty for president in 2000 2024. he says he is the guy to turn the economy around. >> ashley: alexandria hoff joins us. >> alexandria: senator scott has the most cash on hand and most compelling life story. scott said he is the one that disrupts the left's narrative. >> joe biden and radical left are attacking every rung of the ladder that helped me climb and that is why i'm announcing today that i'm running for president of the united states of america!

>> alexandria: his campaign slogan is faith in america. >> under president biden, our nation is retreating away from patriotism and faith. the fewest people in 30 years believe that their kids will be better off than their parents and radical left is pushing us into culture of grievance instead of culture of greatness. >> after signing the paperwork on friday, scott's campaign launched $6 million ad buy in iowa and new hampshire. former president donald trump reacted, writing good luck to senator tim scott in entering the primary race. tim is a big step up from ron

desanctimonious. good luck, tim. former president has clearly focused his aim on florida governor ron desantis, who has been considered his closest competitor. that is expected to change when he hosts donors in miami this week. in interesting shift, axios reporting glen youngkin reconsidered a run for president, releasing campaign-style ad contemplating the future of america. as far as the current state of america, president biden has to contend with latest polless where 74% of americans say the economy is in poor shape, less than a quarter think it is good. that is one talking point for several big-name republicans still considering a run, that includes former vice president mike pence and chris christie.

>> ashley: who are the 24% that think the economy is good? thank you >> ladies of "the view" had a lot to say about the senator on their show yesterday. listen. >> one of the issues that tim scott has is he seems to think because i made it, everyone can make it. ignoring again, the fact he is the exception and not the rule. until he is the rule, then he can stop talking about systemic racism. >> clarence thomas syndrome. >> todd: outkick host tomi lahren joins us. let's get tim scott's reaction to the comments. >> we have to ignore the far left by disproving their remarks. the host sunny wants to be judged by content of character, not color of her skin. talking to trey gowdy last night, no question my life disproves the lies of the

radical left. what is your reaction from the latest round of ignorance from the ladies at "the view." >> tomi: there are people who watch "the view" each and every single day. think about the message sunny hostin put out there, tim scott is the exception to the rule like somehow black americans are at disadvantage from birth they cannot climb out of and if you do climb out, instead of being seen as inspiration, you were seen like you should feel badly for your success and shouldn't be a conservative or republican or preach empowerment. that is what the ladies of "the view" put forth here, along with other things they have said about this poor man. the left falsely criticizes the gop republican party for not being inclusive or diverse

enough. when we have more diversity and inclusion and our party has, they tell us it is not genuine or people representing diverse groups are forced to being conservatives or republicans or the slurs they use for members who ablack, brown, or member of another minority group. >> ashley: not so lady-like, she was also, mentioned clarence thomas, as if making that comment was somehow negative. he is one of the most successful black men in our country, just another instance of the left's intolerance, unless you have a d in front of your name. and governor desantis hoping to flip the state blue.

cnn reporting, they believe the florida governor's record may give them a chance at the state's 30 electoral votes. i had to do a double take, i don't know if they saw the governor's race and how he swept the state. what do you think? >> tomi: florida is a shining example of what america can look like if you put your people, residents and constituents first and lead with capitalism and allow that to pave the way for success. florida is a great example of that. ron desantis is first-time presidential candidate polling just under former president donald trump and the left knows this. joe biden would rather his handlers know this. they are terrified of governor ron desantis and will do everything to convince people florida is not a great place to be, which makes zero sense.

people are fleeing places for florida. they are going after ron desantis for culture wars he is fighting and largely winning. what they will not be able to do is convince the american people florida is not going well economically or otherwise, ron desantis has a pretty good track record and people fleeing from the states are proof of that, can't argue with the numbers there. best of luck to joe if he thinks he is going to flip florida. >> todd: ashley and i had the same reaction. biden is saying because florida is so bad, they will do the opposite of florida, opposite of throngs of people moving there? it is biare za, like looking at patriots, we will do the opposite of that, we do not want to win super bowls. tomi lahren, we appreciate it

>> todd: legendary singer, songwriter, melancamp, releasing a new song about portland. ♪ portland one day, so many homeless, they have all gone astray. they slept on the corner during the day. ♪ all of these homeless, where do they come from?

this land where nothing gets done. >> todd: nothing gets done. that is common refrain from portland residents and three join us now, tom, stu, and bridgette, thank you for being here. how far has the city fallen that they are writing songs about how bad it is? >> it is pretty bad, isn't it? thank you for having me. portland and oregon are in crisis at this time and john melancamp has nailed it. my favorite is one you just said, the land of the plenty where nothing gets done. in oregon, we have four million people and committed $4 billion to this crisis and portland's mayor freely admits the problem is 50% worse, not better, that is sad commentary on leadership.

>> todd: staggering stat. isn't the song about the sense of despair residents like you feel. one drug-filled homeless encampment and the city doesn't do anything to solve the drugs, they make it easier to become a drug addict. >> yes, there are those aspects of it. we have serious problems with houseless and drugs in portland. i love right behind my house is a safe rest village. a year ago, i was on "fox and friends," it was gunshots and needles and hundreds living just behind my house. now we have 60 people in 60 pods where people with heat pumps, nice place. it will be nice restful place to

get away from streets and drugs, if they want to turn their life around. the city has about 50% getting people into housing for this program, that is behind my house and big change from the wild west it was in the summer, some sunshine in portland. yes, there is a problem. >> todd: i hope your experience of improvement is the experience for most people, i don't know that it is. stu, i think this speaks to the notion that americans are carrying people, we do not want to see our fellow men and women homeless and suffering on the streets like this. nevertheless, the oregonian doesn't agree with the song, calling it very bad, they don't like the ditty, saying all eyes of portland, people love to talk about how destroyed the city is. you live there, stu, what is

your take? >> i would hope they note that the video was of los angeles and not of portland. but one problem we have here, the government wants to administer the homeless and created homeless industrial society that causes -- doesn't really get to helping or alleviating what the real issues are. there is a private organization called helping haens that has amaze track record of treating mental illness and getting people back into reentry into jobs. local and state government want to monopolize the money and use for temporary shelter and not help people and helping hands has done a great job, but they can't get money to help them do it. they rely on private donations.

we spent almost a billion in portland alone and haven't been able to get close to solving the problem. >> todd: you and bridgette mentioned the money, money gets poured in, and nobody knows where it goes, maybe that is one reason the guy known as cougar used footage of l.a. instead of portland, maybe it was too expensism, tom, stu and bridgette, we appreciate your time. we hope tom's experience of it getting better is the case. unclear if that will be the case. >> ashley: jimmy buffet giving update on his health and future touring plans, after being admitted to the hospital last week, saying, i head home tomorrow for a while and will go for a fishing trip with old

frnds to get myself back in good shape. once i'm in shape, we will look at when and where of shows. buffet cancelled a show last week, citing a checkup that turned into a hospital stay. >> todd: i'm sure our audience, parrotheads themselves, this is a concern, hope you get to watch shows this summer. >> ashley: we know which city is going to host super bowl 60 and it might surprise you. >> todd: it might. cheryl casone will tell us where the big game will be played.

>> todd: we're back with the crisis at the southern border. border patrol releasing this shocking video of unknown person dropping a four year old over the border wall yesterday. cbp agents report hearing gunshots while trying to give the child first aid. border patrol says the child is okay, do not trust smugglers. this is latest example of dangers migrants and agents face at the southern border. title 42 expired two weeks ago, taking away ability to expel migrants quickly. >> ashley: lawmakers hold a hearing on biden's border crisis

today, hearing from tammy nobel, whose daughter was strangled to death in july of last year. police arresting an illegal immigrant from el salvador with ties to ms-13 in the killing. tammy nobels joins me now. my heart breaks for you and what you are going through. i want to hear what you plan on saying at this hearing today. >> i am planning on reading my testimony, letting them know about kayla, about her personality and also what happened to her on july 27th of 2022. and also what i am looking for, a more secure border and in vet

ing policies. >> ashley: when you say you want a more secure border, what do you mean? do you want it shut off to anyone getting into the country, what do you want? >> i want them to be properly vetted. >> ashley: background checks? >> background checks and also not to be able to -- they need to check their background issue not for crimes in this country, but crimes in their country and where they came from. >> ashley: tammy, you have an open microphone to president biden and secretary mayorkas, what would you say to them right now? >> i would say if there was a more secure border and individuals coming here was properly vetted, my daughter would still be alive today.

they let her down. >> ashley: i'm so sorry, makes me sick to hear you so upset and to have to go through this. was there at any point anyone from the biden administration reached out to you? i know this is going through the judicial system, do anyone reach out and say anything? >> not any -- no, not biden or an anyone, jim jordan actually has taken interest in her case and is helping us out quite a bit. >> ashley: other than the vetting process, do you think there is anything else the biden administration could do, especially now it has gotten to this point, we saw end of title 42 and people poured in, what can we do to stop this from happening to other families? >> what i believe is if people were actually properly vetted,

how can they vet them when they are coming in by thousands? how are they checking every single person? >> ashley: did you ever think this would happen to your family? >> no, not in a million years. i never thought i would lose my daughter at 20 years old. >> ashley: i hate this for you and i hope the biden administration, mayorkas and president biden himself is watching and hears your testimony later today. there are many families and inner parents like you who are begging for something to be done and this should not be happening in the united states of america. tammy nobles, good luck to you. >> todd: prayers for tammy. new york city has been a sanctuary city for a decade.

now the mayor wants small town america to share the burden. >> republicans, as we know, have blocked all attempts at fixing our broken immigration system, causing chaos and dysfunction. >> todd: we asked officials from non-sanctuary cities what they thought about adams suggestion to send migrants to all towns and cities. >> i have little sympathy for cities that have long said since 2016 they are a sanctuary city and we are dealing with tens of thousands a day, he's really upset over having to deal with 60 to 100,000. they impose things on the rest of us and now mayor adams and governor kathy hochul is

experiencing the same thing without appropriate help. >> todd: they added adams does not know their community and should focus on their city. and a second whistleblower coming 23rd in the hunter biden tax probe. >> ashley: cheryl casone has those stories and more next.

>> ashley: daniel penny legal defense fund is over 2.76 million, highest grossing fundraiser in the history of givesendgo. >> todd: cheryl casone has the latest. >> cheryl: according to the data, 55,000 supporters donated to his legal defense fund on givesendgo. they were getting $1000 per minute at one point, now coming in 2.76 million. incredible number. they keep adding every five minutes, the number keeps going up. the ceo of givesendgo says they focus on helping people like penny get a fair trial. >> we say here at givesendgo,

best place for justice to be served is in the courtroom, giving people due process, letting facts come out of the situation. affording people presumption of innocence. >> cheryl: correcting myself, it is givesendgo, by the way, i misspoke. sorry, folks at givesendgo. it is a little confusing, because there is gofundme. givesendgo says we're a different type of platforms and have different types of users. people on that train, going back to the legal defense fund, every witness that has spoken out says he was a hero. daniel penny spoke, but didn't go into detail. >> todd: number one on the list was for a trucker movement.

this is for one guy, that is how much this story is resonating with the people. >> ashley: this second whistleblower with hunter biden. >> cheryl: apparently the second whistleblower and his or her supervisor will testify behind closed doors into the hunter biden investigation. the whistleblower names were revealed in documents and basically this whistleblower says, i was ousted, had been on the investigation since 2018, telling irs officials in an e-mail on thursday, here is this, lack of irs criminal investigation in this investigation deeply troubling and unacceptable. rather than recognize need to ensure close engagement in this extrao

extraordinarily sensitive case. this is tax investigation into hunter biden he failed to pay taxes and this unit is the international financial crimes unit. hope i said all that correctly. >> todd: this is a huge deal because this is not just one guy, this is now two, we need to follow the story. if you look at main-stream media, crickets. super bowl lx is a location you know well. >> cheryl: san francisco bay area, which comes with questions. n.f.l. owners vote on this, this is levi stadium in santa clara, not san francisco, the city. the city will host a lot of events and at the convention center, i'm assuming, because i covered 2016 for fox. a lot of parties will happen in the city. here is the thing, this big

spike in crime, homicide up 25%, robbery up 15%, what is the city going to do? back in 2016, you get to san francisco as a journalist, which i was, to of cocover the game. not a homeless encampment to be seen, but i lived there and knew it was a problem, from being a resident. we find out the city had cleaned up the encampments and put the homeless in hotels so the international press would not see them on the streets of san francisco. smart move, but you got caught in 2016, san francisco. what are you going to do this time? >> ashley: if they can clean it up that quick for a game, surely to goodness, they can clean it up when it is a crisis for the people living there. >> cheryl: city officials got

caught doing this. >> ashley: they put them in hotels, what about the people visiting to stay? what will they do at that point? >> cheryl: if you have reporters from all overthe world come to your city, they will be looking for stories and that came out. how they will hide it this time yearn, they will try the same move -- >> todd: l.a. had the super bowl a couple years ago and did the same thing. >> cheryl: and the world cup will be at levi stadium in 2026. it is a big revenue driver. >> todd: unclear if giants will be in the game, i'm voting yes. >> cheryl: i'm out of dallas cowboy -- i have to think about it. >> todd: chiefs fan here.

this incredible rendition of the national anthem. ♪ ♪ college baseball player who electrified the crowd with that performance is here live to tell us all about it. >> ashley: excited about this one. we're excited about pete hegseth, too, he has a look at what is coming up on "fox and friends." where is your guitar? >> pete: not going to happen. i used to play the piano. coming up, small town fighting the influx of illegals, as new york city mayor ships illegals upstate. one town vows to seek restraining order to keep the illegal migrants out of hotels in the suburbs. then 2024 vision, senator tim scott announced his run

[broken audio] >> ashley: trey, i know you are used to be watched you play baseball for texas a&m corpus christi. were you nervous at all? because it is different than

what you are used to doing or have you played in front of people before? >> so i have played in front of people before. i have been playing guitar for a very long time. and i played for my school multiple times and before that i was actually in a sort of after school band-type thing and we played concerts just about once every month. so i have had some type of experience playing in front of people but actually never played the national anthem for a crowd before so that was a new experience for me. >> todd: obviously that song an important song in our country. trey tre what does patriotism mean to you. >> it means a lot to me. we play the national anthem before the home game. it's a representation of what it means to be in this country it. means great deal to me to be able to play that song and to represent this country the best as i possibly can. >> ashley: you know tray, my

youngest brother played his entire life started out with acoustic buy it tar. is that how it started out for you and what age were you started playing. >> i was 7 years old. started with an acoustic guitar and everybody -- both my parents thought it was a phase. and, you know, i just never put it down. >> todd: i said it reminded me of hendrix. is he one of your musical inspirations? who else? >> john mayer is top of that list. but john mayer, b.b. king. eric clapton, jimmy hendrix. those are the top 4 for me. >> todd: pretty solid list to be inspired by. >> go back to childhood a bit i always remember the music you would play was so good and it was so loud it. would shake the house almost. did your parents were they ever like turn that down? i bet if they did they are probably rethinking that one now looking at what you're doing. >> yeah. don't get me wrong.

they definite -- i definitely had my moments whether they were telling me to turn the volume down on the amplifier. that's when they got me the plug-in so i could wear headphones instead of it having blasted throughout the house. >> todd: i love it. you got baseball and music. what are your plan when you say graduate. >> as of right now, i'm going to pursue baseball as far as i can. i'm a fifth year senior this year. i actually do have one more year of eligibility for college baseball. we will see if i have to use it or not. but, i do want to pursue baseball. as far as i can. and it when i exhaust that, then i will move on to something different. there is entering the work world. you never know what is going to happen. >> ashley: before we let did you go, really quickly, was this your coach's idea? was it your idea? whose idea was this? >> okay. so they have actually been trying to get me to plate national anthem sings i was a freshman.
