>> brian: thanks, guys. ♪ ♪ >> steve: coming up on 7:00 here in new york city and we start this hour with a major shakeup in the race for the white house. florida governor ron desantis is set to announce his bid tonight to run for president on twitter. peter doocy is live at the white house at 7:00 eastern time and peter, tonight, is he going to be talking on twitter at 6:00 p.m. eastern time. >> peter: yes, and that means that this cycle, ron desantis is trying to do something that worked for the republican nominee in 2015 and 2016, which is to try to win primaries by using twitter. >> we'll be interviewing ron desantis and he has quite an announcement to make. and we'll be -- it will be the first time something like this is happening on social media and

with real questions and answers. not scripted. >> peter: no big kickoff rally today. so far all we have got is this very short teaser ad. >> courage? is it worth the sacrifice? america has been worth it every single time. >> peter: as usual, white house officials say they don't want to weigh in on elections because of the hatch act. but they are happy to speak about ron desantis' florida. >> >> lawmakers, republicans in florida, have attacked diversity. they have an attacked inclusion efforts. they have limited the teaching of black history. and they have launched attacks on the lgbtq youth, immigrants, educators and women's reproductive freedom that's what you have seen from lawmakers in florida. >> desantis is not clearing the feecialtiond the primary field of other trump challengers. glenn youngkin, rumored to be

considering a run. his top staffer says glenn youngkin is focused on virginia. anyone who anonymously says otherwise probably isn't as close to the governor as they want people to think. then you have got south carolina senator tim scott up with this new campaign ad. >> i rose from a child of poverty to a candidate for president of the united states. because we chose patriotism over pity. and to be victors not victims. >> peter: there is a lot of buzz around the desantis announcement but he, like all the other republicans not named donald trump, trails the former president in early primary polls. but it is, as they say, early. back to you. >> steve: it's very early. peter, thank you very much. ron desantis is 32 years younger than donald trump. you know, for the most part, the game plan that we have seen so far has followed what we thought. we were told that he would announce the run for president

after the florida legislature did a bunch of stuff. and they did a bunch of stuff. and it certainly did strengthen his bona fides when it comes to conservative issues. so tonight, with elon and then at 8:00 he is going to sit down with trey gowdy and then away he goes. >> ainsley: i wonder how that all just got started because we were told he was gonna announce this week. then we were told he will probably file paperwork and after the weekends, the memorial day weekend, then he will announce so that he has more momentum. i wasn't sure. i thought that might be a good idea. people are going to be away. they are not necessarily going to be talking about the news. then they are going to be together friends and family. maybe they will be talking about this. >> steve: it sounded like the paperwork was going to be filed tomorrow. so maybe, and we don't know this, it's all speculation, but we know that ron desantis and elon musk have a relationship. maybe elon just said. >> ainsley: i have a great idea. >> steve: do it on twitter spaces? ron desantis said sure what's twitter spaces?

>> ainsley: brian was trying to figure out how to get on twitter spaces? >> brian: like you said "new york times" halls what you are saying just audio. which is bizarre. wife would would do you an audio interview and trey gowdy at 8:00. >> ainsley: mod der rate offed with david sacks close with musk. live audio only event. starts at 6:00 p.m. we are not sure how long it will go. he will be on fox with trey at 8:00 p.m. >> brian: brian brilliant for elon musk. everyone is talking about twitter. you look for some fair face on social media after the twitter files revealed how biased everyone was. this fortifies elon musk's belief that i got the platform. you should be coming. to say but, a couple of things on this. the bigger the field in theory, the better it is for president trump. that's why he has got the blessing he blessed nikki haley. that's why he blessed tim scott. that's why he has a friendly relationship with vivek ramaswamy. it's also interesting that ron desantis gets hit because the field is growing. you would think the frontrunner

when the field grows make the frontrunner look vulnerable but ron desantis, they said because he took so long to get in and he took so many hits from the trump camp, because he looks vulnerable that's why everyone else is getting. in glenn youngkin said i don't want to do it after one ad that popped up that made him seem like a contender we haven't heard from mike pence yet that should be interesting. the governor of north dakota, governor christie supposed to announce. i think of the whole thing is going to be fascinating. especially to see how ron desantis is going to do whether a marco rubio couldn't do, what john kasich couldn't do. and what ted cruz couldn't do. attack donald trump and survive. no one has attacked trump directly and survived. >> that would be his charge then. if ron desantis can do it and he is a fighter. the people of florida have seen it. the guy is a fighter. if he takes him on head on. and, keep in mind. donald trump has sunk something like $18 million into attack ads

to attack ron desantis. and you got to figure some of the softening in his poll numbers is because of that. obviously, they are going to start returning fire as of today because he is all in. >> ainsley: it could be beneficial that he would have 8 years, possibly, and he said on monday he was teasing when he was at the evangelist event or the religious event down in florida. he said that he could pick the 7th conservative supreme court justice because, if you look at their ages, many of them are in their vefnts and could retire or, you know, pass away while their justices. you hate to talk about but something that is a reality. he signed the six week abortion bill. some people love that, some people don't. he expanded the bill outlawing teaching gender training in public schools and he approved carrying a concealed weapon without auto permit. donald trump is saying his age is not beneficial for him. is he 30 years younger than donald trump and joe biden. he has three little ones. many people would like it see a young family in the white house but donald trump is saying, look, you're young.

you wouldn't be in office if it weren't for me. you need to be loyal to me. wait and stay governor of florida until your term is up. let me have four more years and then i will help you get another eight years. >> brian: i have never seen two friends turn on each other so quickly in my life. because trump has gone after him directly. and then ron desantis answered back indirectly but clearly. >> ainsley: look at trump. did he the same thing to ted cruz and they became friends later. it's his biggest competition right now. number one and number two. even though trump did put on truth social i'm 53 points ahead of to you remind everyone what the latest polls say. but you have got number one and number two. he is a fighter. and he is a fighter. and they are both smart men. and they both have run successful businesses or gone to yale or fought for our country. they will fight against each other tooth and nail because both want to be president. >> steve: sure, absolutely. >> they will be friends at the end of it. >> steve: we'll see. [laughter] >> ainsley: ted cruz. >> steve: he had to work with

ted cruz. >> ainsley: true. >> steve: peter said it's still early. what is going to happen in new hampshire. remember ted cruz won iowa in the primaries. , both trump and desantis live in florida. so, i'm going to be heading down to tiki 52. >> ainsley: we're so jealous. >> steve: we're going to do breakfast with friends. serve up breakfast. stop by we will be there from 6:00 to 9:00 a.m. get there early. last time we were up at harry and the natives. the fire marshall was turning people around. so come early. limited space. >> ainsley: isn't it nice to be in an area where you are loved. everyone wants to be on "fox & friends" in florida. >> steve: talking about the governor and former president. >> ainsley: that's right. we look forward to it and celebrating kathy's birthday. >> steve: happy birthday mrs. doocy. >> ainsley: a new york city college professor is out of a job after holding a machete, right there, to a "new york post" reporter's throat.

>> brian: yup. the new york city investigating the incident same woman went viral for a violent tirade against pro-life students. started of throwing all their paperwork around. >> steve: todd piro joins us. she has had a rough couple of days. >> todd: it has not been a good one. the police now on the case after shaylyn rodriguez that's her name caught on camera threatening a "new york post" reporter and photographer outside her home in the bronx, take a look. >> get away from my door. get the [bleep] away from my door. >> let's get out of here. you can't do that. >> todd: the crew was trying to interview her about destroying a hunter college student pro-life display on campus. >> you are not educating [bleep] this is propaganda. what are you going to do like anti-trans next? is that what you are going to do. >> i mean, no. we are talking about abortion. >> this is bull [bleep]. this is violent. you are triggering my students. >> a statement from hunter college says the professor has since been fired.

quote hunter college strongly condemns the unacceptable actions of shell lynn rodriguez. she has been relieved of her duties we want to mention the new york common ownership with fox news and fox business network. we reached out for comment to the professor and psc of do you knowy. do you know cuny. i'm excited i'm saving in my 529 account for all of this and this is the treatment i could potentially get. great times. >> brian: don't pick hunter. >> steve: think home school. >> brian: home college? >> steve: absolutely. >> hegseth university. >> brian: love the dorms. >> steve: what was the deal. was she fired because she was heckling the students or because of the machete to the guy's neck? >> todd: has he to be the machete. when you harass students like that the a liberal college you

get tenured not fired. you are encouraged to do it. they were investigating that at the time but when you bling bring a machete to would work fight. >> ainsley: she said i'm going to chop you up. >> things you can't do regardless whether you are a professor and employed by a college. >> brian: did you see her in the hoodie? >> ainsley: she followed them outside. went back in the apartment and opened the door up and ran them. kicked him in the shin. >> when you follow through with a trip outside, again, not a good look. >> brian: i sense this is nod not a bad day. you don't get that evil. >> ainsley: no it was about a month ago that she did the table. >> brian: who wants to say goodbye to todd? >> steve: go ahead. >> brian: bye, todd. >> steve: cover of "the new york post." nutty professor. that guy right there in the white shirt is a fellow by the name of reuben finton, he is the "new york post" reporter. he knocked on her door because

he wanted to ask her about the story we were talking about yesterday. about how she had cursed out students who were anti-abortion and then, of course, it all went south. here is reuben last night with sean. >> we just wanted to speak to this woman. we thought we might have a chance. given that she is obviously passionate about her beliefs and maybe if we showed up to her door she would be willing to grant us an interview. we, you know, in my career have knocked on 10,000 doors hoping for interviews. once in a while you get one. i thought this might work out. but i got a bit of a surprise when she opened the door. this was a first for me. she first verbally threatened to chop us up with the machete and then proceeded to come out of her apartment brandishing the blade and pressing it against the side of my neck for about a second. >> steve: is he lucky.

>> brian: sean asked are you going to press charges? he goes i don't even think about it. the thing is you don't need to press charges. look at this. you have got to do something if you are a district attorney or obviously the -- is he doing an investigation. yeah. have an investigation. okay. guilty. case closed. >> steve: someone has to press charges. >> brian: you don't think the city could take action over somebody machete. you think somebody has to press charges? >> steve: generally that's the case. >> brian: city is investigating. >> ainsley: clearly angry or appears to be she was angry at that table and wha they stood f. she no one really wants a reporter coming to the door. how many times have we done this. if you don't want to talk to a reporter you say no comment. i don't want to talk to you. >> brian: or don't harass students during the day who just want to have a different point of view. >> ainsley: she clearly didn't have a door man. you would not be able to get in the building. >> steve: unless they talk their way in, which is a possibility.

>> ainsley: yeah, but the doorman has to get permission from her to let them up. you can't just let anybody up. >> brian: either no door man or bad door man. >> ainsley: true. >> steve: one or the other. who knew that teacher had a machete. >> brian: this a good time to toss to ashley strohmier, that's my incorporate distinct. >> ashley: that woman was totally unhinged. today marks one year since 21 people, including 19 children were killed in a school shooting in uvalde, texas. 16 people were also injured at rob elementary school. texas governor greg abbott ordering the state's flags to be lowered to half-staff and for a statewide moment of silence at 11:30 a.m. central time to honor of the victims. wealthy san francisco tech executives are ditching the city by the bay for london. the exodus largely due to out-of-control crime and homelessness. the head of instagram and meta's chief marketing officer both making the move across the pond last year. the trend is so prevalent it's

is. >> brian: welcome back. i have been dying to talk to us about this. the send ammunition to ukraine. weapon suppliers are overcharging the pentagon and gouging us on almost everything. why? because there is too few contracting companies. let's break down the numbers as we see it. first off on ukraine and the investment. we know we have given them $37 billion under president biden. then we found out we have given them 375 million. yet, they still don't have enough. why this number seems to be extremely high. let's look back at how the cost of things changed over the years. let's look in 2015 if we can. as we switch gears 2015, for example, you you meanted to get a shoulder fired missile now 20% more than it was. they made hundreds of millions of dollars on seven deals over seven years. these are contractors selling to the pentagon and what has happened? there has been a consolidation of major corporations. so, therefore, there is no more competitiveness. there is not inspector generals for the most part. they have been gutted. therefore, basically, the pentagon has no choice but to say how much is it? i will write you the check. with our money and a lot of

times we are not getting the stuff. there's a new contract that got negotiated that gives us some hope and save $550 million. lastly before we get to michael waltsd. stinger missile 1991, $25,000. okay? look how much more it is, # hundred thousand dollars. let alone the refills of the actual rockets. the government will pay trans stein, a company that only has this unit. a small defense unit getting big everything by the day. pay $119 million for parts that should cost 28 million. why is that not the pentagon's money it's our money they can actually just write the check and get over it and apache helicopter in 26 unable to fly because it needs this one little valve. this valve has gone up 40%. why? because the apache helicopter only needs this valve and only one company makes it. so they can gouge us and they are. which i think is unpatriotic. i want to talk to congressman

michael waltz about this. he has been all over this for a while he fights the wars and make sure they are done domenicly. he sits on the armed services committee. congressman, when i watched this on "60 minutes" they studied for six months i didn't know about this 1990s consolidation. they thought it would make us more efficient why didn't it? >> look, brian. i think a lot of what you saw in that report some it is true some i take issue with. in the 1990s we went from dozens of defense contracting companies to only about a dozen and monopolies are never good. you have to have competition. you have to have market forces in there driving innovation and driving efficiency. this congress, led by republicans in the house, are going to put measures in to where the pentagon has award small companies, medium companies, the ones coming up with the new ideas and are young

and hungry. the part i take issue with is when you look at the big increase of price of weapons going to ukraine. part of it is, brian, those weapons were old. the production lines have been shut down years ago. the pentagon had told these contractors to move on and create new, better, more modern things now we are saying, whoa, whoa, wait a minute. go stand up those old production lines again and's it's expensive. it's a mixed piece there. but i will tell you what, this -- these are the types of issues the leadership in this pentagon needs to be focused on fixing right now instead of making a carbon-free army, instead of focused on climate change, or this obsession with diversity, when you have a military that actually overrepresents minorities compared to the general population. these are big complicated issues. and this is what we are telling biden's secretaries, you are got to be focused on helping us fix this instead of all of this

other garbage they're obsessed with. >> brian: i would say something this. i'm naive, i guess. i would think if you are raytheon or these major companies, you would have trouble sleeping at night if you are gouging our own country. you are making enough money. do you have to gouge and hold up the american -- extort the american public and the pentagon? because you are maximizing profit for your shareholders and you are getting yourself a nice caribbean island. but, in the big picture you are hurting this country. we can't replenish our stocks. we can't get taiwan what they already paid for. yet we financed a war for 20 years, two wars at the same time, and never really ran short of stuff. yeah, brian, so here's the other problem. we talked before the monopolies and two other big problems. one is the pentagon and the big contractors are often focused on bigs next ferrari next high end

stealth fighter and don't focus on all the spare parts and sustainment over time. we have to have competition that system. look, the other one is there is no accountability. we have ships and tanks that don't work, who gets fired? i mean, mccain -- john mccain was famous for pointing this out. no generals get fired. no ceos get fired, and we have got introduce accountability into the system to hold these people accountable because our troops aren't getting what they need. >> brian: i would think the military should welcome an amassive audit that includes military people like yourself whose objective streamline and see where there is gliewt of workforce. get accountability of those troops thanks, man. >> brian: special on memorial day. if we don't have proper defense we will be seeing many people dying because of it. appreciate it. the emergency meeting happening in target stores across the country. why the company should be

problem with, you know, the lgb bit of this equation. the problem that has erupted in america is the t bit. quite wrong for a company like target to say pride when what we are talking about is clothes that are for people who believe that they're trans, specifically for men who believe they are women to wrap all of this up in pride is a great insult to many people in this country. >> ainsley: selling a bathing suit that had instructions on how to tuck. >> without getting too anatomical. women's bathing suit adapted for a man. this also goes to one of the other things i have said for a long time on this. it is worth noting in the whole trans issue the extent to which it is women who are repeatedly inconvenienced, not men.

things adapted for biological men who believe they are women very, very rarely the other way around. i think this is important women are shopping don't have to be inconvenienced if this is actually women. it's not men being asked to adapt and effectively saying is this for a woman or not? i think that points to something very important at the heart of the movement that is now being called pride which i think is a trans movement it is women's sports, it is women's training room. women's clothing and changing room women's underwear and things. i think women should notice that. >> ainsley: also there have been complaints about the fact they are children's clothes. clothes for infants in this section as well. >> and that is madness. i'm sorry, it has to be said

nobody should have to aat that adapt tosocial con teenage job n achild say they are trans a load of other children saying they identify as well. if you feel uncomfortable in your body, sorry, every teenager at some point feels uncomfortable in their body nature of being a teenager and a kid. adults should be better explaining to the kids that's the situation. not telling them that they're born in the wrong body. it is so wrong and so cruel and it doesn't help the kids. >> ainsley: important conversations to have. we all have different conversations about it as long as we do in love. >> yeah, of course. >> ainsley: there are concerns about children and age and that sort of thing and when do we start talking to our children with this. thank you so much, douglas. this is a statement from target. since introducing this year's collection, we have experienced threats impacting our team members' sense of safety and well-being while at work. given these volatile circumstances we are making adjustments to our plans, including removing items at the center of the most significant controversial or confrontational

trump fight in him but i think he is more politically disciplined. and i would like to see that in our white house. >> steve: okay. jeff, you also are in florida. but you are an independent. when it's time for the florida primary, who would you vote for? >> yeah, every think i will still go with desantis here and take his -- i love what he stands for like amanda said. he has the trump fight with a little more discipline. i'm a big fan of his anti-wokeness and keeping florida a will citadel of normalcy. >> steve: you just interviewed ron desantis not too long ago so you have a pretty good idea of what he is all about. >> yeah. i do. you know, i think it's one thing, you know, if i'm honestly speaking, i think it's one thing to govern a state i .

i want to hear what his plans are. not that i don't think he would be a great president. many americans want to know exactly what he plans to do i can't wait to hear those things. they are going to be great things he plans to do. i want to hear what he has to say about those things. >> steve: absolutely. tonight he will start explaining to the country. is he going to do it on twitter, what is it called twitter live -- twitter rooms. so, spaces. that is a social media platform. speaking of social media platforms. the surgeon general parents yesterday issued an advisory about social media risk for kids. you have all got kids. that's why we called you in. he said in part the bottom line is we do not have enough evidence to conclude that social media is sufficiently safe for our kids. in fact, there is an increasing evidence that social media used during adolescent critical stage of brain development harm to

mental health and well-being in light of the ongoing youth mental health crisis it is no longer possible to ignore social media's potential contribution to the pain that millions of children and families are experiencing. i had no idea that quote was that long. amanda, let's start with you. as a parent with kids using social media do you feel like somebody has got to rein that in for them. >> absolutely. it's my job as a parent to rein that. in i'm glad that the surgeon has made it public and made this decry that it is dangerous. my children do not have social media and they won't for a very long time. it's dangerous for adults. it's addictive. it's like an illicit drug. it draws you in and creates isolation, depression, and increases anxiety. this comparison culture, comparing yourself to filtered

celebrities it's nod good for young minds. >> steve: real quick, quisha, what do you think? >> i'm surprised that the surgeon general even said this considering all of the other policies that they have been pushing from this white house so of course social media is not good for young children and like amanda said it can be dangerous for adults as well. i'm glad to hear something -- something like this coming out of, you know, this administration, so, you know, good on them. >> steve: okay. jeff, you get the final word. >> yeah. i mean, it's great that the surgeon general came out with that warning, but it doesn't do anything until the parents get involved. parents need to step up, watch their kids, monitor them. get them off the screens. get them outdoors, playing sports. hunting and fishing and taking charge of their kids' lives. >> steve: you are right about that. amanda and quisha and jeff thank you for joining us today from all across the country. >> thanks so much. >> thank you. >> thank you.

like anaphylaxis. ask your vet about solensia and help get your cat back to their normal— whatever that is for them. ♪
