announcement. brian: i thought it would be a big unveiling. ainsley: if brian is acting a little crazy today he i saw him in his office is he celebrating cinco de mayo. brian: right, exactly. the only way i know how. steve: which is? brian: guacamole. steve: today is cinco de mayo. in certain states they are lifting some of the radio strictions but going forward the federal government still has lots of rules shortly after the biden administration came into power how closely the federal government worked with the teachers union. brian: it's impossible. they follow the science. steve: they work with the teachers union to make sure that they got exactly what they wanted when we look at some of the quotes put them up side by side to think about. notice how identical language was used what the cdc said. next thing you know the federal government is saying the exactly same thing the union told them to say.

ainsley: how do we know this the conservative watchdog group americans for public trust got their hands on these emails. they released them to the post. and these are emails that this teachers union the second largest teachers union the american federation of teachers aft sent these emails to the cdc saying basically this is what we want from you. please include this in your guidelines. brian, do you want to read the first one. >> here is some of the exchanges a lot of plightness. plight polite plightness. first week in february reassignment remote work this. is from the american federation of teachers union february 1st email this. is what they're orthopedickinging. employers should provide reassignment, remote work, or other options for staff who have documented high-risk conditions or who are at increased risk from severe illness from coast to limit the risk of workplace exposure. that was part of the guidelines

that the american federation of teachers wanted in the cdc to put in. now, there is no way the cdc, a science-based organization would listen to a union and put their policy around union suggestions, would they? steve: so just remember what brian just said and you will notice now in the actual guidelines identical language. the cdc guidelines released about a dozen days later at all levels of community transmission employers should provide reassignment, remote work, or other options for teachers and staff who have documented high risk conditions that place them at increased risk for severe illness from covid to limit the risk of workplace exposure. what's interesting is that initial email did go to the head of the cdc dr. wolenski. dr. wolenski and randi weingarten, the president of the union, spoke on the phone. and do you know what,

ultimately, the union won two carveouts two of the big things they wanted they won what was really telling was early on in her tenure, dr. wolenski was on television and said do you know what? not all teachers have to be vaccinated next thing you know jen psaki came out and said she was speaking in her personal capacity. brian: by the way still nuts when you think about it. steve: dr. wolenski was talking about science. she didn't realize that now that she is part of the administration she is a politician. ainsley: some of these carveouts they wanted in the guidelines is not outrageous. what's interesting the reason we are telling this story when you read their recommendations to the cdc, this union, the cdc is listening and putting verbiage in the guidelines very similar almost identical to what the union was asking for. and if you look at the numbers, it's interesting the contributions and the 2020 cycle, the union gave out

$19.9 million, almost $20 million, 14,000 went to republican candidates and organizations, 19.9 million and only 14,000 went to republicans. 99% of the money that the union gave went to the democrats. brian: right, on top of that. steve: who got that 14,000 is what i want to know. brian: on top of that, if you add in all the super pac donations the actual total gets to 43 million in 2020 in the cycle. so, if you wonder if they are wanting to get something to that money, yes. were they expecting it? yes. did they get it? yes. for the first time jen psaki after this story came out over the weekend "new york post" got questions from kristin fisher. let's see how she handled it? >> i want to give you a chance to respond to the accusations that the american federation of teachers, the country's second largest teacher's union influenced the cdc's guidelines on reopening schools. have you republican senator tom cotton saying evidence of a politicized public health agency

answering at the beckon call of the teachers union. how does the white house respond. >> i would say first, that's false. let's take a step back and talk about how the cdc works. the cdc is actually longstanding best practice for the cdc to engage with organizations and groups that are going to be impacted by guidance and recommendations issued by the agency. it doesn't mean they are taking everything they want or even a percentage of what they want. brian: so the cdc takes guidance and actually takes passages from unions and puts them into their science? keep in mind, it the cdc director said twice in february kids can go back to school with very little risk. they said it twice. first time in her capacity and came back on february 14th and said the same thick. as jason riley writes in the "wall street journal" today the republicans, this is everything the republicans want and have been saying. they want school choice. they want to have the chance to put kids an opportunity into charter schools where there is no union control.

they should get the word out what they want to do but not to people who are necessarily on their mailing list. but go into the inner cities. explain what's hang. explain why california has almost zero rate, the lowest rate in the country but yet -- in terms of this virus but has the highest rate of remote learning in the country. that's what you get from democrats -- now they have an example because it priest thy their hypothesis is correct. it's unions over kids and your kids and your students. they care more about teachers who got to the front of the line first. here is mark meadows last night with laura. >> it is a scandal. we need to start calling it a scandal. because, when you have democrat political donors getting on the phone and starting to work with the cdc to put out guidance on

schools, there's a problem. i mean, when we see it, yes, listen, for a year i heard joe biden, kamala harris talk about we need to follow the science. if i heard it once, i heard it a thousand times. but what did we find out? the minute they get in power not only are they not following the science but they are following the money. we have got to get to the point where we not only open back schools but that we listen to parents instead of special interests. sadly what we are seeing here is the victim are the american children. ainsley: many are asking why the cdc can't make these decisions based on science why they have to get recommendations from the teachers unions. you will hear parents in new york, democrats and republicans who were furious when our schools closed. furious when they looked across the street and saw kids going into that school but kids were not allowed to go to this school. steve: in the beginning of the pandemic because there was so much we did not know we all look to the scientists and looked to

the doctors to try to figure out how to dig ourselves out of this whole. this -- hole. what we have seen and to the point kristin fisher made regarding what tom cotton said how the cdc has become thoroughly politicized. unfortunately, in these groups of scientists,s people who lead them are ultimately are politicians. brian: by the way they don't want you to know this because anthony fauci says it pandemic. hospitalizations are down, surges are done. right now we certainly have seemed to turn the corner. vaccine approaching 50%. over 30% it double shot. johnson & johnson. things are going exceedingly well here in america. they don't want to let you know it but it's time to get back to work. where it's not going well, despite what people might be saying is at the border. you have the vice president of the united states was given this mantel, you are now the border czar and she has really, really worked well. she is the study of inaction.

she went out of her way to travel the country and make sure she never went to the border and promise as visit to one of the triangle nations in june. i just checked my watch. we are still in may. i have the date and time. i have many options on my watch face but i chose that it really worked for this segment. so 43 days no show. 22,000 unaccompanied minors, but the administration says they are making progress. ainsley: she spoke at the washington conference on the americas. and she said she is taking her role very seriously. listen. it. >> this is a priority for our nation and a role that i take very seriously. the citizens of el salvador, guatemala, honduras are leaving their homes at alarming rates. they are suffering, they are in pain. many are experiencing unimaginable anguish. and so, we are focused on addressing both the acute

factors, and the root causes of migration. i believe this is an important distinction. we must focus on both. i have also spoken with world leaders from canada, finland, ireland, japan, about partnering with us to help the northern triangle. brian: by b. time we got the irish involved. i was saying when are they going to get off the slins. steve: how exactly is japan going to help us help the people down in the northern triangle. brian: they should try at least. steve: she talked about the u.s. strategy which currently is to invest $310 million in the region with a total of $4 billion. keep in mind, a lot of the idea is, okay, if we just give those poor countries down there money, they are going to say okay, let's stay here rather than going to the united states. but do you know how it works. if you send cash to people to keep them from come, eventually the people are going to stop come, right? so that would mean the cash

would be cut off. do you know what? ultimately we are going to send the money, you watch, and the governments are going to say okay, don't go, don't go, but they are really going to mean go. because as long as the flow goes, the cash goes south. it. ainsley: yeah, well she wants to give food, shelter, water to the people of honduras and guatemala. she wants to work with the farmers to plant drought resistant crops and help women farmers increase their crops. the critics say why is she focusing on their problems and not on what this is doing to america? and rolling back these trump era security measures like the wall and asylum agreements and application of title 42 expulsion. listen to mark levin, he said what happened to america first? >> you know, the purpose of immigration is not to support the country from which the immigrant comes from or even the immigrant. the purpose of immigration has historically been what's in the best interest of the american people. but when you believe the

american people are systemically racist, you don't really care what's in the best interest of the american people. joe biden the democrat party want to fundamentally change america. if you want to fundamentally change something, you don't like it. as a matter of fact, you hate it massive taxation. marv regulation. massive spending, massive debt. they are igniting inflation as we speak. wide open southern border. you have ms-13, drugs pouring across the border. you have massive child abuse going on there and joe biden doesn't give a damn. brian: i would add to this they also show shofts the donna facility saying look, we hardly have any people there they are still here, we don't know where they're. they moved over to the hhs facility. we still have 22,000 unaccompanied minors, i know they are streaming in as we speak and streamed in last night. why? from anthony blirch ken to ron klain to president biden to vice president harris. we have a big heart. any kid that comes across we are keeping. that's a go sign to any kid that hasn't come across make sure you

come you get to stay. you get to a sponsor family or somebody who claims to be somewhat related to you. the question is not why is that facility empty? it's where did those kids go and why are you showing us angle shots of an empty facility when you wouldn't even let us take pictures of a full facility and you didn't let us take pictures of that they are hiding something and it is disaster at the border and for the most part the media is giving them a pass including the vice president. i cannot believe she is not getting questions about what are you doing? why have you ignored the president who asked to you solve this problem? steve: well, brian, we know where the kids are going. they're going from the detention facilities that got bad publicity will a month and a half ago and they are scattered now at facilities all across the united states of america. and now who is paying the bill to have the sponsors travel to pick up the kids at a convention center, a military center, a hotel in a region? it's the federal government and then we pay to send them back.

but, once again, as jen psaki said yesterday, this is all donald trump's fault. brian: they show us an empty facility and tell us they solved the problem everything calmed down and moving people out. they haven't solved any problem the way it was going they stopped. also the big problem is with these other nations you don't give them money and say sorry you are in dire straits, you say we are taking money unless you secure your border. you will get it back when do you. believe it or not that worked under the trump administration. ainsley: let's turn to minneapolis, there is breaking news with the chauvin trial, steve. steve: that's right. where former police officer derek chauvin has filed a motion for a new trial in the death of george floyd. it. ainsley: todd piro joins us live as chauvin's attorney accuses both prosecutors and jurors of misconduct. tell us the latest, todd. todd: steve, ainsley and brian good morning. the defense attorney for derek chauvin eric nelson taking issue with the judge's refusal to grant a change of venue along with the decision to not sequester jurors during the trial. the filing saying, quote: the

cumulative effect of the multiple errors in these proceedings fair trial in violation of his constitutional rights. nelson also argued it was unconstitutional when the court declined to come testimony in maurice hall. he was a friend of floyd's during the incident. most noticeably missing from the filing was a juror who was photographed at black lives matter protest last year. brandon mitchell was pictured wearing a shirt that said quote get your knee off our neck. mitchell failed to acknowledge that he participated in the protest in a pre-trial questionnaire. in a statement the spokesperson for the minnesota attorney general said quote the court had already rejected many of these arguments and the state will having oppose them. in addition to requesting a new trial. chauvin's attorney is asking for the guilty verdicts to be tossed. chauvin's scheduled to sentenced in june unless these motions are granted. back to you. steve: all right, todd, thank you very much for the live report. 16 minutes after the top of the hour. time to check in with carley

♪ down on the corner ♪ out in the street ♪ the. brian: hard it tell you about it is texas it is texas we are looking at. i'm going to steal the tease out stop me if you heard this before in georgia in the middle knee deep and never shaken the controversy around the georgia bill. the problem with most of it is everyone misconstrued what it was thanks mostly to stacey abrams calling it jim crow reduction or 2.0 or followed up by the president of the united

states ham handily pushing baseball to boycott and they did. now all eyes are on texas. because, after the pandemic, 30-plus states have looked at their elections laws and say i'm worried about the integrity. unrequested ballots, people mailing in from elsewhere. unconfirmed addresses drop boxes we never had before. i.d. that can't be verified. i have to rein this in. not changing election laws changing it now that we are through the pandemic and one thing texas has done is reform some laws right away when it comes to elections companies have lined up against them including the greater houston partnership which we were just looking at houston there called the "wall street journal," 175 business executives, lawyers and other prominent houstonians signed a letter tuesday opposing the bill. nothing specific but opposing the bill. ainsley: these are some of the companies that have spoken out about it some of these you use on a regular basis. if you shop at pat gottennia,

they are not for these changes in texas, hp, microsoft, american airlines, etsy. there is house bill seven, house bill 6. still trying to look through it all. it looks at mail-in votes. looks at should we have poll watcher hers or people standing behind the counters as they are counting your votes. how about how many days should we offer voting before the actual election day? just to give everyone a fair opportunity to go and vote. steve: sure, so they have put this statement out which essentially is to put politicians on in the because they have got all those business leaders. they say we stand together as a nonpartisan coalition. some would disagree with that part calling on all elected leaders in texas to support reforms that make democracy more accessible and oppose any

changes that would restrict eligible voters access to the ballot. ultimately that's what they want. and ultimately what we have seen over very recently down in georgia and then across the country but before that liberals are demanding companies take stands and condemn laws and republican lawmakers that are responsible for them. well, jp morgan chase is a phi began particular wall street firm. they have trillions of dollars worth of assets and jamie diamond made it very clear yesterday when it came to talking to the "wall street journal," that his employees might say, you know, we should weigh in on the voting laws but we are not going to get into them on a state-by-state basis. we will just say that voting should be open and free and fair but when it comes down to the nitty gritty and get into one state's politics we are not going to do that because we saw what happened in georgia. ainsley: if you have ever seen him interviewed or been around

anymore person is he a tough cookie. i love that he is doing that he says we are not getting involved. that's fine we have the same principles about free and open elections as most other people getting into the detail on 50 states, we're not going to do it. states have the right to do whatever they want, they are in charge of how voting works in their states want to ban ballot harvesting why do you want to do that stop people from going? no want to have control of the vote. make sure your vote counts. will unrequested mail-in ballot how many people walked in to their kitchen and on the kitchen table is a ballot to vote. does that mean i can't show up? by the way we move the average american moves every two years. you didn't request a ballot, it's going to your old address. is that person going to fill it out in your name and are you going to walk up? there was all types of chaos with the last election. steve: because of the pandemic. brian: because of the pandemic this. is in response to the pandemic. not a response overall who won or lost.

by the way the republicans on many counts had a great election. so the band getting paid. offering mail in ballots. make it criminal -- beef up criminal penalties for election fraud. what's wrong with it. make it a state crime to vote in texas and another state. what's wrong with that? create a new crime for vote harvesting. make a penalty for doing this so make sure people stay on the straight and narrow. that's usually the way we are set up. tonight do what georgia did. don't pass it and then explain it explain it ahead of time then let people understand what they're against or for. steve: that's why the letter went out. it's a cautionary tale. hey, texas, don't screw up. ainsley: one of our employees here was telling me during the election she got four ballots, she is a beginning gel mom. her kids are not old enough to vote. and she got four ballots. two of them were from the deceased people that lived in her house before she bought it. brian: my point is not for the company to explain themselves.

my point politicians, dan patrick, the governor, tell us what you are doing and let everyone understand where you stand and why you are doing it dan crenshaw is going to be with us. his first interview since he had eye surgery. good eye never that good and starting to lose sight in it and give us update after his surgery and what he hopes for down the line. steve: indeed. all right, so he is coming up. we have so much to talk about. including it is set to be a violent summer if you look at the statistics on american streets as big city police departments see crime on the rise in a scary way. the reaction and warning from law enforcement coming up next on "fox & friends." ♪ my nunormal? fewer asthma attacks with nucala. a once-monthly add-on injection for severe eosinophilic asthma. nucala reduces eosinophils, a key cause of severe asthma. nucala is not for sudden breathing problems. allergic reactions can occur. get help right away for swelling of face, mouth, tongue or trouble breathing. infections that can cause shingles have occurred.

250% increase in shootings. there is 400 percent increase in hate crimes. and murders are up 40%. that's in new york. what is going on across the country, sergeant? >> well, what we're seeing is a aville occasion of law enforcement. look at chicago where i'm from. we have a lack of law enforcement there. police officers are leaving, just like in new york. just like in l.a. and portland and seattle and on and on. minneapolis. we have got police officers police officers leaving. law enforcement, from our politicians from our media, and so law enforcement officers they are either leaving the profession or engaging in what we call depolicing where they are not really getting involved until they they absolutely have. to say and that is allowing criminals to go do their criminal business. unfurthered. and it's going to-get worse as

the it weather gets warmer kids are out of school the major city chiefs wants to talk about the pandemic was a problem, the economy was a problem. those things are a little bit of a problem. what i would love for the major city chiefs to do is look at the politics of this situation. look at who runs those cities and what we can do to change that. steve: sure, i mean, you look out at seattle and portland and clearly the police chiefs are working at the directive of the mayors who have various liberal agendas. sergeant, when you talk about the police chiefs, there are a lot of rank and file members of the police out on the street who are worried that they are going to do something, somebody is going to take a picture of it with their phone and something is going to come out wrong and they are going to lose their job and ultimately that their bosses, are the police chief back or perhaps once again as you said once again political

reasons. >> well, you see, that's true. i travel all over the country. down what law enforcement officers fear? they don't fear getting shot in the line of duty and all that they know that's a possibility. they fear their administrations, they fear being the victim of some sort of political prosecution for just doing their jobs and yet we also have criminals. look at last night in nashville. it will responded to a 911 call. somebody just shot my mother. i'm afraid. those officers were ambushed. we had an officer get shot and go to the hospital. you know, so police are under attack from things like that and then we are also under attack from our administrations, from our politicians and from some of our media. steve: you are right about that sergeant betsy brantner smith

[laughter] sometimes paying attention you could eat. >> i didn't like zoom school. >> you didn't? >> no. >> i liked it. brian: good luck with that the president getting an earful from student in virginia this week was he prepared for that kids across the country stuck learning on zoom and begging to get back in the classroom including our next three guests joining us now sixth grader in philadelphia. many eighth greater in tawrns lily roseanne still waiting to get back to school full time and high school a freshman never an easy year katie garrison knows that. mason, let's start with you, you are over philly. what's your week like. >> thank you for having me. i am not in school yet. i'm still learning fully virtual but next week we are going in to

in-person school monday and tuesday. brian: how hard has it been? are you adjusting? i remember when you addressed the school board you really were eloquent and i thought you got your message across it's not working. how are you doing? are you learning anything? >> i'm learning some things but i think that the teachers are doing a great job but it's not whether a it could be if you are in person. brian: you got up at 3:30 for us in california, lily. guess what? your numbers are the lowest in the country. you should be back in school right now the danger what's. >> i go back to school two days a week mondays and fridays and then i have zoom on wednesdays. iting two days my teachers assign the work. it's a lot to juggle. i'm going to speak for myself i'm not doing terrible but my

brothers on the other hand they are failing, which is not very good. so i do think we really need to get back into the classrooms because it will are far more beneficial than online is right now. brian: lily, it's unbelievable. i never heard of this. you get your aeye onment and do it at home? >> yeah. brian: that's ridiculous, you can't get a teacher to zoom call with you? >> yeah. crazy. brian: that's nuts. you are not learning anything you just told me, right? >> no. i probably haven't been learning anything since march 13th, 2020 which is the last day of school that we had. brian: don't blame yourself. blame your politicians and your unions. katie garson, you are in ninth grade. you are in california, too. what's your situation? >> i'm full online. so basically i don't even get to go hybrid. so every morning i wake up and then i log on to zoom and i stay on zoom for about four hours and it's basically like that every

day. i don't feel like -- i feel like i'm learning okay. i'm not failing but i feel like if i was in person i would just be a little bit more focused and getting a better education. brian: of course you pop off your camera sometimes and just got to relax. it's an impossible environment. >> um-huh, i do yeah. all my classmates turn their cameras off and i honestly really don't blame them because it's really hard being online and even harder to be on your camera and paying attention. brian: mason, trying so hard to get your teachers and everybody to understand how bad it is learning at home how close are you to getting back in the room? what do you miss most about not being in school? >> i miss most obviously seeing my friends and all the school of a activities that i have done i think we are very, very close getting back to school. and i think that the way that our new president is handling things is a very good way and we would not have gone to this if

it were still the last president. brian: really? that's hard to believe the last president was saying i want every kid back in school. so, lily, for you, what is your hope knowing the numbers are going down and the governor might be opening up? >> my dad is really, really pushing to get us back in school like me. and my mom is a teacher and she is going to school to teach at her school, and it's quite chaotic because honestly my family is tired of being with each other 24/7 all day every day. and i think that just going to school would be really good for my family just so that we can have time apart and we wouldn't fight as much or just getting out of the house just by ourselves would be good for us. brian: no kidding. hang in there and katie, just real quick, your hope for the next semester, your message to

people who say they are keeping you safe by keeping you at home? >> i really, really want to go back to school obviously because i feel like i need that social interaction with my peers. onryan is not the same because in person, towble, i'm able to meet my teachers for the first time. i have never set foot on student on campus because it's my freshman year i would love to go back to the fall. my fellow peers would, too. brian: i don't mean to make it worse but there are states in alabama, north carolina, south carolina, florida and texas they have been back since september. so have a lot of private schools and it's just not fair to you three and all your classmates. politicians are getting in the way. and people are supposed to be following the science playing politics is making it worse. thanks, guys, good luck at school today. >> thank you. >> bye, thank you for having us. brian: you are welcome. see you later. go to janice dean who is tracking the weather. janice? janice: great job, brian.

migrant workers received from the biden administration. jessica vaughn is the director of policy studies at the center for immigration studies and she joins us now. good morning to you. >> good morning. ainsley: good morning. what did you think when you heard this? >> well, i was not too thrilled to hear that this -- that so much of this relief package, which was sold to us as helping americans and the american economy recover from the pandemic shut down was actually flowing out of the country and the reason is because the rules were changed under the stimulus package that the democrats pushed through that anyone with a social security number would get the relief funds and renew what millions of illegal aliens were working in this country were therefore going to receive these checks and now we find out that many of them sent it overseas. so it's not actually being used to stimulate our economy or recover from the pandemic. it's simply flowing out like

other remittances. ainsley: and being used to stimulate the economy of mexico. >> that's right. that's right. that's one reason why some of these other countries that are sending and allowing illegal migration to the united states don't always want to do much about it because they reap so much back into their economy from these remittances, which aren't a really good economic development tool necessarily but that's, you know, it's an easy one for these countries and kind of a pressure valve, it comes at the expense of americans and especially in the case of this pandemic relief program. taxpayers were funding this, our children are going to be paying it off for decades, and it wasn't going to the people we were told that it would be helping. you know, this is the kind of thing that just incentivizes more illegal immigration. ainsley: jessica, who was able to get these check unless illegals, migrant workers? who qualified for them? >> lots of different people who

are in the country illegally can get a social security number. first of all, there are millions of people committing identity theft. they have stolen an american's social security number and use it for all kinds of purposes and they would have been able to get it. people who are visa overstay stairs from a temporary work job failed asylum applicants who went through the asylum process long enough to get it they would be getting these stimulus checks as well. ainsley: jessica, thank you for being on with us. >> thank you. ainsley: you are welcome. 56 manipulates after the top of the hour and still ahead congressman dan crenshaw and south dakota's governor kristi noem. with dupixent, i can du more....beginners' yoga. namaste... ...surprise parties. aww, you guys. dupixent helps prevent asthma attacks... ...for 3!... ...so i can du more of the things i love.

steve: no state taxes. brian: cub free unlike here we are getting closer because the governor is involved in a scandal. i will say this, i saw a stat. only 16% of new york city workers are back at work. i guess eventually they are going to come back. steve: even our skyscraper is pretty much empty. brian and ainsley, good morning to you. speaking of governor desantis down in florida. i was reading that apparently the democrats have already started putting together opposition research. ainsley: oh, no. steve: not only for house republicans who might challenge democrats in the midterms but they are already putting together opposition research against a bunch of republicans who might run for president including ron desantis and i think about 50 others. brian: mike lindell the pillow guy. >> let's begin with peter doocy. he is at the white house announces a new vaccination

goal. >> gooncht and the white house is tipping their hand they know how tough it's going to reach the president's new goal 160 million americans fully vaccinated by the 4th of july which would be within the president's first 165 days in office. so that's why they are now teaming up with sports teams to offer free tickets and stores to offer discounts for frey people who get a shot. >> almost 150 million americans have gotten at least one shot. over 105 million americans are fully vaccinated. now, we're going to have to bring the vaccine to people who are less eager so we also know that there are millions of americans who just need a little bit of encouragement to get the shot. >> with the vaccines the president is pushing the cdc guidance to a t. on masks here are the biden administration outdoors wearing masks with nobody else around. that's not necessary for vaccinated people according to the cdc. >> just inside that house that

they are exiting in this photo, you see this one, it's the biden administration and former president carter with his wife roselyn indoors no masks. that's totally fine for vaccinated people according to the cdc. it's just inconsistent with following the guidance. you will notice in this picture the biden administration appear to be significantly larger than the carters, there is speculation that that is just an effect. it is an optical allusion because the photographer used a wide angle lens to get everybody in the frame in a very small room. back to you. steve: thank you very much. peter. you are absolutely right. they do look so much bigger. brian: honey, i shrunk the president. steve: look at that it does speak to the larger issue though because when you see joe biden wearing the mask everywhere outdoors, you know, it just reminds people hey, why am i going to get the shot? well, you are going to get the shot so you can have more freedom ultimately. but, look at that they have

gotten the shots, all the pima image, but the biden administration still wear the masks outdoors. ainsley: joe and jill biden could both play center in the nba. someone else said this was taken in a tiny house. wide angle lens. brian: it's amazing. because we always told follow the science and then we saw the scandal which is going on with the cdc and the teachers union. and then this whole thing with masks. wear a mask, be patriotic. you get a vaccine. give wrong message to american people especially the seniors who easily could get the wrong message who have been vaccinated first. so, again, the president seems to be the wrong messenger as well as he seems to have an up ordinate projection of the power he has. he seems to think he is going to give us the green light to have a barbecue. a green light to go outside and go on vacation. he doesn't have that type of power. ben domenech pointed that out

last night when the president talks about are maybe you will be able to go outs and fourth of july party. guess what? people are not waiting to do so. they are going to do it anyway. don't appreciate when it comes to the power of washington. washington really is under the impression that they can dictate all of these things but the reality for the american people is they are going to live the way that they want. the way according to what they perceive in their communities, and for most people, that is a return to normalcy. steve: and as we return to whatever normalcy is going to look like in the future, it looks as if the supply is outpacing the demand. we are getting to the place where you can -- if you want the shot, you, for the most part, can get it if you are above the age of 16. and they are saying unless we get to that herd immunity where something like 70%, 80% of the country has had the shot, we are never going to see this thing go

away. and keep in mind, you know, the antibodies we get from the shot and from having it only last a certain amount of time. eventually if there are variants out there, covid will come back the question is how large unless people protect themselves going forward. it's another reason get a shot and you don't have to wear a mask outside. brian: 45% one shot. 32% have full. ainsley: he wants to get by 70% by july 4th. i hope that can happen. let's talk about the border. because the biden administration halls released these pictures of the donna facility down in texas and showing the difference, what it looks like now. an empty out facility as you can see there one or two people in that pod whereas before we saw shoulder to shoulder, kids sleeping on the floor. steve: there are 5,000 people there, ainsley. ainsley: that's right. the administration says hhs is better able to handle the children so they're touting patting themselves on the back emptying out this facility moved to mhhs facilities.

in march 11,000 unaccompanied minors in hhs custody now they are estimating 22,000. where are they? they are no longer in donna because the donna, texas images gave them a lot of bad press and everybody in the mainstream media suddenly was piling on the biden administration hey, what's going on down there. brian: not like they should have. they barely got covered outside of our network. steve: did i see that presidential press conference the president was asked a number of questions about it we did lead the story, no doubt about it what they have done is taken the kids and the families from those facilities that got the bad publicity and they have moved them all across the country. they are now at military bases. they are at convention centers. they are being housed at hotels. you know, the only -- we don't know exactly where all they are being held at hhs facilities. we only know when a governor denies the federal government the opportunity to move a bunch of kids into their state, that's the only time we hear about it. we heard about it three or four weeks ago when the governor of

the great state of iowa and my birth kim reynolds said no, they asked me if they could put kids in iowa, and i said we do not have the facilities at this point so no. and ainsley, to your point, it's absolutely that. they are trying to take a victory lap, look at what a good job we are doing on the southern border. all those kids are gone. they are gone -- they went some place else. ainsley: they are paying sponsors to come down and take these children. steve: all the travel expenses. ainsley: many of the sponsors are illegal immigrants here in our country as well. jen psaki was asked about the situation down on the border. and she blamed president trump. >> after four years of an immigration system rooted in destructive and chaotic policies, president biden is taking the challenge head on after coming into office our administration immediately jumped into action to address the influx of migrants at the border. something that began during and was exacerbated by the trump administration. brian: jen psaki can say it all she wants and anthony blinken

can back it up and ron various outlets no one thinks donald trump left the border a mess. if you ask the president of mexico, he will tell you. you ask the president of el salvador he will tell you. i'm sure the guatemala would also chime in as well. there was one policy. it was working. there was a time when it wasn't but the one thing about the trump administration they showed you it wasn't working. they said can you go down to the border patrol. see the craziness that's happening here. this is why we need a wall. this is why i need more border patrol agents this. is why we need new policy with mexico this. is why we need the southern border of mexico policed. now you have somebody saying don't look here when you finally look here blame the previous president. he has so much less credibility now when there is a legitimate treason blame the previous president when you blame everything on him, that means nothing will stick. i hope people are sobering up to understand that meanwhile, when it comes to schools, this critical race theory, this whole 1619 project is something very much front and center with this

administration. ainsley: well, you have all these schools across our country i was watching "fox & friends first" a mom from california to utah. she said they are dealing with this interest. that's one of the reaches they moved. she stopped home schooling because she thought she could trust the school system there near here in new york they are teaching woke, they are trying to teach that you need to apologize if you are a certain race. and. brian: white. ainsley: and bringing all of this into the classroom and these parents are just saying we want reading, writing arithmetic taught. let us teach the social issues to our children. let us make that decision as a parent. we don't want schools diving into that. some of these kids are in kindergarten and first grade when they are being taught this. steve: here's the thing at these fancy elite new york city schools where tuition can be north of $50,000 a year. you would think they were getting the finest, purest education possible. andrew gutman is a father. we told you about him three or four weeks ago.

he had written a letter toe former "new york times" op-ed writer bari weiss about why he pulled his daughter out of the brearley school here in new york which is $55,000 a year. he talked to foxnews.com about how schools like his daughter's former school has just become obsessed with race. and the family had had it up to here, pulled her out, he went on foxnews.com, here is part of what he has to say. >> we already do a horrific job in this country teaching history. and now we are going to make that 10 times worse. our country doesn't survive a not teaching history and civics and sure as hell doesn't survive bringing up our children to hate our own country and our history. and it's more than just a curriculum. you know, they advocated for black lives matter and they want families to advocate for black

lives matter and, you know, again, can you agree with black lives matter, can you disagree with black lives matter, but to say that we want you -- we want your daughter from kindergarten to 12th grade, we want your family to be an activist. this is what they are really saying. brian: so you notice he didn't say vote republican or democrat. is he just talking about kids in the curriculum. we never used to have to fight for american history. we used to talk about foreign policy and cold war and what we should be doing or not doing to build up defense. now we have to defend our own country because the problem seems to be within our country. i just think that dad, andrew gutmann has done such a service because i think he is going to empower others. he seems to be extremely successful. he doesn't mind going public. others will come out and they are afraid of getting hit back at work or their aspect of their life. my sense is andrew gutmann is giving a lot of other parents a lot of motivation to come forward rather than take it.

ainsley: his daughter must be very bright because it's extremely hard school to get into. according to that trick labor relation if you read some of these schools best ones in the country this is up there. this is usually number one for all girls schools. steve: his larger point at the end was the school it used to be about education. now it's about advocating. are they being educated or advocated at? ainsley: a lot of conservatives that live in new york because it's mostly democratic. they just keep their mouth shut in these situations, 12-year-olds particularly. steve: go along, get along. ainsley: he says now in these schools if you keep your mouth shut then you are deemed a racist. brian: right. part of parenting is speaking up. go to foxnews.com for more on this. steve: that's right. ainsley: carley shimkus has headlines for us. carley: that's right. have an update to bring you here. officials identify the three people killed in the suspected

human smuggling boat crash off san diego's coast. all three were mexican nationals. and died from drowning. authorities also revealing the captain is an american. officials say the boat was severely overcrowded with 32 people and that most of them were trying to get into the u.s. illegally when the boat capsized in rough waters earlier this week. lebron james is walking back his now deleted tweet about the ohio officer who shot and killed ma'khia bryant last month. the nba star tweeted, are quote you are next with a photo of the officer involved. now, two weeks later james taking to twitter again writing, quote: i fueled the wrong conversation about ma'khia bryant and i owe it to her in this movement to change it. james went on to say that the story was taken off ma'khia and it needs to refocus on her. he did not apologize for targeting the officer in his last tweet.

explaining it the answer is suck it up, this is life in the big city now. ainsley: you have said that you don't think this is america anymore. why do you think that? >> because the rule of law has been so twisted to the point where if there is a right wing person who stands around and challenges these antifa people verbally, he will be prude as a violent riot felon. there is two of those cases going on right now. and at the same time the real violent riot felons are let go by the hundreds or the thousands. you know, it's worse. you are talking about the federal charges but it's been much worse locally. there were hundreds of people who were arrested and all the charges were dropped. there are people who essentially tried to set banks on fire. attacked police. caught with you know, car loads full of weapons being delivered to the rioters. all turned, you know, no felony charges at all. for any of these people. and most of them were not being

he came to the nurse's office and said he couldn't breathe. he was wearing a bandanna type of mask that was tied around his neck and another nurse was with me at the time and we said okay, let's take it off and we will give you a surgical mask and he said i can't take this mask off i have been wearing it for two weeks. when he said that to us, we were like in shock. how could this be this kid is sleeping and showering in this mask for two weeks. we tried to take it off and we couldn't. so we actually had to cut it off and throw it away. that's just one story of lots of stories of kids wearing them incorrectly. and so i decided to make it stand and let my supervisor know about my concerns and they weren't appreciated. brian: they weren't appreciated. you have three kids do they wear masks to school? >> they do, yes. brian: because that's the policy. you said there is enormous increase of headaches, stomachs, all related to the masks, kids are saying they have shortness of breath. you also point out one kid came up and threw up in the mask and said i'm not sick it's from the maverick. so when you try to explain that.

and you have been an r.n. for 13 years, auto what do the nonmedical professionals at the school tell you? >> they just bluntly told me we are going to be following the mandates put in place by governor murphy and that includes wearing masks. i let them know as a nurse i don't feel comfortable enforcing something can i see and know that is harming somebody. you know, i had a kid come down to me, she was wearing a mask, she was crying, she had vomited in class. i was taking care of another student. i said sit down when i got to her when i pulled her mask off it was full of vomit. her mask was full of vomit. she walked up to me with it on. just heart-breaking. this is first graders that come in and are having these severe anxiety that you know, cinders are not able to understand what their kids are seeing or doing what thus he can't see their facial expressions. brian: as a nurse, you know they are under no danger almost zero percent danger from this virus. >> that's right.

brian: from transferring it or getting it the psychological effect of wearing it all day, the rashes they get, and the sense of they shut up during the day, they don't talk at all which is extremely unhealthy. you are suspended without pay. real quick, are you going to sue? >> my employment status is still up in the air. so i'm not sure yet. we're going to find out on the 10th. so, i will go a step after that when i figure that out. brian: you did the right thing and hopefully people start listening to medical professionals who are not paid off 'by teachers unions. >> yeah. brian: go ahead. >> i just want to say for all of you doctors, nurses and physicians, psychiatrists that are messaging me, bombarding me you are doing a great job, keep doing it stand up. you can go to america frontline doctors and get information of legal resource was how can you stand up and protect the kids that we are supposed to protect. brian: that's what you went to school for. that was not an easy school you went to in order to get that degree to get the job you have. erin pein, thank you so much.

night that we go to sleep there is always something negatively that is betrayed by law enforcement. it's different. i drive people are frowning at me and flipping me off. again, it was not that way. i just honestly have had enough. steve: he has had enough. but our next guest hopes to change this narrative. both are new to law enforcement and are looking to bridge the gap between policing and the community. chad haman has been a sheriff's deputy in pinnal county, arizona for a year. and john became a canine officer in columbus, ohio last fall. they both join us live. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> good morning. steve: chad, let's start with you why did you -- when you were thinking about what do i want to do, you knew this narrative was out there but you joined anyway. why? >> i think for all of us cliche, you know, is to protect and serve. but it's much deeper than that it's an opportunity to grow and

an opportunity to be bigger than something than just yourself and be involved with some great people and for me it was something that i longed to do. i wanted to do something that would bring honor to my family feel good when i go home knowing i had did something good. steve: recently, they have seen a change in the way the public perceives the police and how they treat the police. >> yeah. absolutely. i would say it's almost like it's broken. with a lack of a better term, and wanting to mend those relationships is one of those things that i hope that the newer officers can do. steve: sure. and, john, regarding new officers like yourself, when you are out on the street, do you feel that you are getting the

respect from the community that you deserve? >> i would say it's hit or miss. it all depends. i have a really good relationship here in columbus, which we're lucky for that. don'thave as big as an impact sf the other cities are seeing. i would always want it to grow and have a better relationship with the community for sure. steve: absolutely. better relationship with the community is what that officer we spoke to yesterday from atlanta is what we were talking about. chad, it when you are out, do you feel like you have got the respect of the general public or do you feel like there is an under current of some people out there who just don't trust the police? >> i honestly don't feel that here in payal county. i think a lot of that has to do with our will community outreach we are very involved in the community when we leave a home or something that they are better than when we got there i

haven't experienced what i see on tv in other cities. steve: chad, we had somebody on from one of the organizations representing law enforcement about an hour and a half ago. and she was talking about how across the country there are a lot of police officers, rank and file officers who simply feel like if, you know, if they got in trouble, they didn't know whether or not their police leadership, the chief was going to have their back. do you feel like everybody is on the same page in your department? >> 100 percent. i'm drawn to strong leadership. all my careers in my life have been due to following after a strong leader. here in our county, it's not uncommon to show up and our number one guy, our sheriff, is at that call. or checking up on you and saying hey, how did it go? do you need anything? it's a different feeling here

than i think a lot of other places. steve: absolutely. and, john, you are there in ohio. have you noticed just over the last couple of months things get better? things get worse when it comes to the way law enforcement interfaces with police? >> i would say it's stayed about the same. it's one of those things that's going to take time and it definitely is going to take like i said earlier mending of showing that they can trust us. steve: exactly. building brings between the police and the community. so, john, how are you addressing that? because you are out, you know, on the beat every day how do you try to bridge that gap? >> i would say just being a positive impact on every single call i try to go to where we see some of the people at their darkest times. trying to make that a good the best can i on each call no matter what it is and trying to show that we are there to help. steve: indeed. well, so many police officers, unfortunately, here in new york

city, for instance, retirements and people putting papers up 75% in 020 over 2019. so so many people want to leave the, you know, leave law enforcement but the both of you are very optimistic about the future as you got to be. guys, chad and john, good luck to both of you. >> thank you. >> thank you, sir. steve: 14 minutes top of the hour. janice, i know what that map is bad stuff happened in those different locations. janice: absolutely, last 72 hours, dozens of reports ever tornadoes. hundreds of reports of strong winds and hail. so we have had quite a last few days over the deep south, parts of the rockies, in towards the mid-atlantic. even the northeast, western pennsylvania recorded a tornado yesterday. so, this is a big deal. the good news is the cold front associated with all of this bad weather is going to sweep across the east coast. we will still see the

possibility for showers. some thunderstorms but not the volatile storms that we have seen over the last couple of days. remember, may is typically the busiest month. the good news is we have a weaker system across the great lakes and the ohio valley and then the northwest is going to get some rain and some mountain snow but otherwise a calmer forecast as we end the workweek. so there is the district attorney time highs today 84 in houston, 89 in miami. watch that cold front exit the east coast and then, you know, calmer weather but i will warn that we are in to severe weather season so be prepared. know what to do if there is a watch or warning and we will keep you up to date. steve, back to you. steve: as you always do. j.d., thank you. still ahead on this wednesday telecast congressman dan crenshaw and south dakota governor kristi noem. first, new york's governor andrew cuomo slamming americans for not getting vaccinated but he is taking zero responsibility for the thousands to died in nursing homes on his watch. joe concha sounds off on cuomo's

decided to put covid positive patients back into nursing homes. even a 10-year-old knows you don't do that in that situation when he had the uss quhorst and javits center that the trump administration given him and decided to go ahead with the nursing homes and worse is the cover-up that his own aids have admitted was done in order to get a book deal across the finish line. a book deal that made andrew cuomo very rich. most of the media, ainsley, has moved on. they are quite apathetic, it reminds me of governor ralph northam virginia everybody thought he was toast. news cycle tout sea and nothing to see here anymore. the fact it was covered 0.0 second by all those news organizations shows they are serving at the pleasure of the democratic party. believe me, if this was ron tee sants the governor of florida that happens to have an r next to his name you would be hearing about this nonstop. here have you andrew cuomo still blaming donald trump for his problems which is quite ironic when you consider it's the democratic attorney general that's running two of the investigations into the nursing

home scandal right now. but here's the bad news if you are rooting against andrew cuomo. siena poll shows 57% of new york democrats believe he is doing a good job. that tells him that he could run again for re-election and he could win possibly a fourth term but lee zeldin is going to pose a very formidable challenge that's for sure. right now he should be in much worse shape but the media protecting him has buoyed his numbers a bit and that's pathetic, guys. steve: not just media but social media as well. we will find out later today whether donald trump is allowed back on facebook. that's going to come out later on today. but, yesterday, the former president launched a new website. it's from the desk of donald trump and essentially what he is able to do is he is able to put out statements video comments, things like that. but unlike social media, there won't be a lot of interaction. what do you think about this way, how the former president is kind of going around the social media companies to get the word

out? >> it's a start. right? it's sound up blog you could call it, i guess. it's a way to get his message out to your point and obviously go through the -- or go around, anyway, the filter of the media. but i think he has to bring it up to another level quite frankly, guys. i would like to see the president launch probably a podcast which would be a very good way for him to talk about items of the day, particularly the biden administration and their moves in terms of unraveling everything that he had accomplished during his four years. hearing the voice of the president would be better. i know there is a video element to this. i think the podcast would serve the president well here that facebook announcement this morning -- go ahead, brian. brian: i was going to say with that podcast would apple put it up would spotify be able to carry it and would itunes be able to carry it. >> most likely no. that's what we're going to hear from facebook i would imagine this morning that the ban will continue because facebook, just like many in the media serve at the pleasure of the democratic party. and, look, when you say well,

how could facebook get away with this? well they are a private business and the bottom line is that their bottom line is very good. facebook's stock is up 100 points if you look at may 5th, 2020 until now, that's more than 50% jump. before anybody says well they have got to be broken up. who is going to do that exactly? you have a democratic house, a democratic senate and biden administration that is greatfully indebted to facebook for all the help they gave them during the campaign as did twitter so we are not going to see too much action as far as breaking up these companies or section 230 being at least amended or removed at this point because there is no incentive to do so. ainsley: thanks so much, joe. still ahead we have south dakota's governor kristi noem. she is fighting indoctrination in our schools. ck in it. ♪ oh, oh, oh, ozempic® ♪ my zone? lowering my a1c and losing some weight. now, back to the show.

vaccinated by the president's 160 fifth day in office. that is the fourth of july. >> almost 150 million americans have gotten at least one. over 105 million americans are fully vaccinated. now we will have to bring the vaccine to people who are less eager so we also know that there are millions of americans who just need a little bit of encouragement to get the shot. >> the president said it's a patriotic duty to wear a mask. here you see him and the first lady doing that outdoors with nobody around which breaks the cdc guidance that a four vaccinated people, it is okay to take the mascot outside and they were massed up outside even though just inside with the 96 -year-old jimmy carter and the 93 -year-old rosalynn carter they had their masks up which the cdc says is okay for small groups of vaccinated people.

it's evidence of a selective following of the rules. the president has been pleading with people to listen to the experts and to do what they tell you but when it comes to mask wearing he has not exactly been doing them. back to you. steve: peter, at the beginning of your report you talked about how the a ministration is suggesting that people could get discounts and sporting events things to entice them to get the shots. has anybody suggested, you know what, were famous now for giving out checks so were just going to pay people to get a shot. has that trial balloon been floated yet? reporter: we are not there yet. steve: just a matter of time. ainsley: you brought up a good point, peter, goal is 70% and were only at 32% now so the people who are anxious to get it have already stood in line and gotten that shot. reporter: yes, and they are hoping that something like a discount at your local store could be enough to get people to their goal but to my dad's

question we not see new tracks and the president lined up with a stack of 50s at the local pharmacy trying to get people. steve: peter, he just destroyed that they did not know that was your father until then. [laughter] brian: we will see if that happens. people say it's convenience and maybe if you bring it to people's work that would be at but the other thing is you could get close to 70% if you count the people that had it and have antibodies, that is what we have a lot of doctor saying so why don't they count natural immunity and will get to that herd immunity. we cannot get to the herd immunity nor we can admit it but the numbers keep going down. cases are down 28% but because of the pandemic a lot of kids like the three i interviewed this morning from eighth-grader, ninth grader and a fifth grader not in school. we said to ourselves, wait a second, didn't the cdc director say february 2 and february 14 or 4th and 14th that it's safe to go back to school even

if teachers are vaccinated so why are they not back in school? on sunday the near post through freedom of information act request was able to get the medication between the teachers union as well as the cdc and they are working together, it seems, okay, it's beyond reproach. this is in order to kraft their policy and its sickening. ainsley: if you look at the e-mails, the one that the teachers union sent to the cdc with their suggestions and the guidelines from cdc, a few days later they are very similar to what the teachers union would suggest. now the white house is defending those e-mails. listen. >> i just want to give you a chance to respond to the accusations that the american federation of teachers the country's largest, second largest teacher union influence the cdc's on reopening schools. senator tom cotton said it's evidence of a politicized public health agency answering at the back and call of the teachers

union. how does the white house respond. >> with a first that's false. let's take a step back and talk about how the cdc works. the cdc is actually long-standing best practice for the cdc to engage with organizations and groups that will be impacted by guidance and recommendations issued by the agency. it doesn't mean they are taking everything they want or even a percentage of what they want. steve: but earlier we showed you a couple of the passages when the e-mails from the union to the cdc saying hey, we would like the senate and then magically, low and behold, it's actually in the guidance from the cdc. i guess what jen psaki is saying is it's just a coincidence not just one of those things. even though randy weingartner who runs the teachers union to call directly doctor and he remembered really early on in her tenure as the head of the cdc she said the teachers did

not have to be vaccinated and the next day jen psaki said the doctor was speaking in her personal capacity. ainsley: the doctor. that's what doctors do. brian: . steve: that's exact we what they do but she, the doctor, was speaking about health and science and she did not realize she was part of an administration which is very political when it comes to coronavirus. ainsley: that february 1 e-mail sent by the teachers union to the cdc they said the aft which is the second-largest teachers union said the union officials reviewed the guidance documents from the cdc over the weekend and provided feedback as a way to strengthen the document. brian: jason riley had the best column today he said republicans the longest time have been talking about school of choice especially when he comes to the inner city and put pressure on the schools to start achieving and start paying the teachers to get to get better quality and we found out the teachers unions are hurting the people the most vulnerable by keeping them out so teachers can stay out. case in point california prick

cases are low as any of the 50 states yet they're still not back in school full-time and case in point florida, they are back and they proven they can do it to north carolina, south carolina, texas, north dakota, south dakota same thing. it can be done and is being done but unions are keeping them out and now the letters prove it. if republicans understand who their constituency is the will bring their case not to their voters but for people who have avoided them. show them what's going on with the unions. show them how the kids are being denied. show them how they should get the money going to the public schools and give it to the families and let them go to private schools who want to actually be in session. i talked to three of these kids who are sitting at home frustrated, remarkably candid about how little they have learned and are frustrated they are with all different grades. listen. >> teachers were doing a great job but it's not what it could be if you are in person. >> i only go back to school two days a week and it's a lot to juggle and i'm going to speak

for myself but i'm not doing terrible but my brother is on the other hand, they are failing. i do think we really need to get back into the classrooms because it would be far more beneficial. >> i'm online basically i don't even get to go hybrid and i feel like i'm learning okay and i'm not feeling but if i was in person i would just be more focused in getting a better education. brian: that was a great interview. steve: they would all like to get back to school as we all would but the union, regarding those changes early in february they won two important, if high-risk teachers or staff who have a household member at risk they would be able to work at home which for a variety of reasons some people are not able to get the vaccine and that you can get where they would want that but the other thing is if there is, at any point, a high transmission rate and apparently

they will determine with a high transmission rate is they can change the rules. unbelievable. ainsley: if there's a new variant. steve: so right, if things change we can change the rules. ainsley: talk about money for it i tell you. total contributions for that teachers union almost $20 million in the 2020 cycle, 14000 that went to republicans, 99% went to democrats, liberal individuals or groups. brian: there something to have when the pandemic first happen you had to sideline the economy and i get it frustrating but now they need to go back in using these kids suffering, not parents, not teachers but the kids suffering and then you say to yourself it's totally preventable and it's beyond aggravating and disconcerting and it's totally preventable and all politics and hurting the most vulnerable and then you take the kids who are vulnerable and take the inner city kids that are most vulnerable and you take the parents have got to stay home because teachers unions don't want to let their teachers teach but let's talk about something not as upbeat as

that. it is something even more disconcerting and that is what's happening at the border. steve: it is a mess. we told you that in the administration won't call it a crisis. kamala harris has been put in charge of trying to figure out the root causes and why all these people from central america come here. we know why. it's easy to get across the border. nonetheless, there she was doing a zoom call at the washington conference on the americas and listen to some of the world leaders she is talking to about the root causes and what they can do to help us. >> this is a priority for our nation and a role that i take very seriously. the citizens of el salvador, guatemala, honduras are leaving their homes at a alarming rates. they are suffering and in pain and many are experiencing unimaginable anguish and so we

are focused on addressing both the acute factors and the root causes of migration. i believe this is an important discussion. we must focus on both. i've also spoken with world leaders from canada, finland, ireland, japan about partnering with us to help the northern triangle. brian: please, ireland stopped sitting back great family, help. it is obviously something that is on finland's mind worried about central america and why would they be? by the way, finland was voted the happiest country in the world. ainsley: so the plan is for billion-dollar plan and she announced the 310 million-dollar investment in that region and says she wants to go to honduras and deliver food, shelter, water to the people, guatemala she wants to work with farmers to plant drought resistant crops and help women farmers increase their crops. brian: what about our crops? steve: this is a crisis as we all know in a fairly one of the plans is to send or spend $4 billion so how much money are

we going to send down to those countries because we know how it works? the more money we send down there, you know, we will send you $4 billion, stop the people from coming and if they stop the people from coming then we would stop sending them the money. do you really think that will address the root cause and stop people from coming? brian: not a chance. ainsley: jen psaki said the problem goes back to trumps policies that are giving us so much of a challenge or a crisis at the border. brian: no one is buying that. ainsley: lets handed over to carly who is more headlines for us. >> good morning. we will begin here with a fox news alert. tennessee officer is shot during a set up 911 call. the suspect told the dispatcher a woman had been shot at a nashville home but polices say it was just a ploy to get officers to respond. officer brian sherman was shot in the arm when he arrived at that home and police say the gunman shot and killed himself

in the home's driveway. officer sherman was treated at a hospital and is expected to be okay. the sacramento city council approved the motion to update the city's use of force policy. the proposal submitted by mayor darrell steinberg makes the use of deadly force as a last resort option. the exception to the new rule would be in split-second scenarios. mayer says he move forward with the proposal based on recommendations by an independent commission. the u.s. birth rate falls to his lowest point in more than 100 years. a new government report says it dropped 4% last year and the rate fell for moms in every major race and ethnicity and nearly every age group. verse have been declining in younger women for years as many postponed motherhood and had smaller families but it is worth mentioning 2.6 million babies were born last year. beautiful babies.

more than 460,000 attended the ten day stir just rally in south dakota last year when reports claimed more than 206 to 6000 got covid. that's a far cry from the new research showing it was actually 163. south dakota governor kristi noem never bought that and sees the new numbers and wants to talk about it. what do you want people to know about the sturgis rally in august? >> that the media lied about the event for a year they labeled it as a super spreader and that was not true. we continuously push back and i'm glad that some of those facts are coming to light today. brian: it went to 39 states and esther helped to parmesan came back with those outrageous numbers. was that all political? >> absolutely. all political. we did testing in that community for weeks afterwards and we reach out to every state that we had visitors from and did our own data collection and tried to hold some accountability out

there but brian, you know that once these liberal media outlets, the democrats want to attack policies of the states like us that are free that they will just continue to perpetuate that narrative so i am thankful that they are continuing to get more and more of the real facts of what happened at the sturgis motorcycle rally before people come again this year. we're looking forward to an even bigger crowd. brian: as governor you mentioned your cases are so low you got about 100 cases in the entire state in her kids are back in school and that's not the case with the state that has lower numbers than you and that is california. they are still not back in school. it is stunning yet if you look at two governors you are the one getting the most outside criticism, right? >> it has been consistent over the last year that i've been getting beat up in the national media but our kids have been in school all year and they are doing well. we are the fastest growing economy in the country and the lowest on the employment rate and are active cases are down and we've got incredible hospital capacity should be needed so our people have

managed through this crisis in a way that i think is really a testimony to what republican conservative principles and values are and how they do take care of people and create an opportunity for people to still be successful. brian: a couple of years ago new york times put out a series called the 6019 project and they talk about how america started when slavery came to north america in 1619, not 1776. now there's incentives coming from the federal government if you put that curriculum and you'll get grants. how do you in south dakota feel about this curriculum change? >> i hate it. the 1619 project is a lie. that is why i was the first candidate in the country to sign the 1776 pledge which says the truth about america's history that we are founded fighting for freedom, not based on slavery and i would encourage every single person running for public office, every single leader in this country to embrace the 1776 project and make sure that they are talking about the real history of america and teaching

it to our kids and in our school systems. brian: one of the foundations is in at 1619 they say we fought in 1776 to keep slavery in america because england got rid of it in 1772. that is not the case and it does not stand up to the test. in fact, they were fighting to get free of british culture. >> that's exactly right. exactly right, brian. the 1619 project needs to be pushed back on with critical race theory. it is not appropriate for our kids to learn and to have in our school systems. we want our honest history, real history, patriotic history to be taught to our kids so that we continue to protect america. it's a most special country in the world and it is something that our kids deserve to have long into the future that we had the opportunity to grow up and. brian: it is a column he wrote with ben carson and on foxnews .com right now. governor, as much power as you have you cannot just say this is the rule that you have to sell the boards of education in all

your cities, correct? how close are you two doing that? >> absolutely. in south dakota we talked about this for years. when i first got sworn in as governor i pushed getting more histories, civics education into our k-12 system and we did finally get our legislator on board and they put that into our requirements this year. we will continue to do that in south dakota. i believe a state like us can lead by example and i will continue to do that and carry the message across the country as well. brian: it's amazing what it's got to come down to that you have to fight for american history in your own estate. thank you, governor. i appreciate it. >> thank you, brian. brian: speaker pelosi and president biden have been vocal about their support for abortion. pelosi's hometown bishop is suggesting they could be denied communion. let's talk about that next. ve ly asthma attacks i've had. but my nunormal with nucala? fewer asthma attacks. nucala is a once-monthly add-on injection for severe eosinophilic asthma. not for sudden breathing problems.

dress. >> important accessory that we have not seen before and serve an important purpose. in terms of jurisdictions that are allowing the proms to return, ainsley, look at this. here is a list of some of the cities across the country that we know are banning the problems that this year. new york city is on that list and that stands even though students who attended schools in new york state nearby new jersey and connecticut will still be allowed to attend the prom. new york city is not right now and what about what to expect? we talked about the masks and you can expect social distancing and you can also see requirements about proving vaccination status or proof of a negative covid test and they are also in new york state going to be restrictions about when you can dance and where where you can dance. they will have designated dancing zones so very different experience this year but for many students they can look forward to putting on the best attire even though the circumstances will be a little different. ainsley: lydia, thank you so much.

steve come over to you. steve: san francisco's archbishop is getting natural attention with a warning to prominent catholics and support abortion. archbishop salvador joseph writing quote, if you find that you are unwilling or unable to abandon your advocacy for abortion you should not come forward to receive holy communion. when other avenues are exhausted the only recourse a pastor has left is the public medicine of temporary exclusion from the lord's table. some say his call to deny pro-choice catholic's communion is a not so subtle job at president biden and house speaker nancy pelosi. here to set the record straight archbishop of san francisco, salvador joseph corley only. your excellency, good morning. >> morning. brian: why did you write the letter? >> i wrote the letter because i'm afraid of a lot of confusion in the minds of catholics about this fundamental issue of

respect for the right to life of all human beings, not only some and of what it means to receive communion in our religion one is living in accordance with what we believe and what we say and that how we should be living so to deny a fundamental belief and receive holy communion in our tradition is inconsistent. it's a matter of hypocrisy so many to have conformity before we in communion with each other and with christ before we receive the sacrament of that communion. brian: archbishop, does not mean that you would refuse to give communion to somebody like nancy pelosi who is out in san francisco if she came into your church? >> as i mentioned, these conversations have to take place before a mood like that would have to happen.

in the case of speaker pelosi, she abides —- she i don't think that i would envision that happening but it's more of a matter of avoiding the scandal that can because when dominant catholics in whatever walk of life are advocating something that is denial of a basic human right and claim to be a good catholic in good conscience and i need to be very clear on the teaching of catholics. we do not deny fundamental human rights and that they remain in good standing in the church. brian: sure, archbishop, can you be a devout practicing catholic and support abortion? >> absolutely not. absolutely not. this is another reason i had to write this letter. it's to help people understand what this issue is about. this is not one policy issue among several. this is the most fundamental rights in the right to life. were talking about killing innocent human beings.

this is a very serious matter. anyone who cooperates and that is involving themselves in a very serious sin and absolutely not, not possible. brian: final question, have you heard from any of your colleagues in the church about, i can't believe you wrote that letter or i'm glad you wrote that letter. what is the reaction? >> all of their actions have been directed to me personally have been very supportive and i am grateful for them taking this quicksand in explaining what we believe. brian: we certainly appreciate you getting up early out in san francisco where it is 5:36 in the morning. archbishop, salvador thank you very much. >> you are welcome. thank you. steve: we did reach out to speaker pelosi's office and she has not called us back yet. we will let you know if she ever does. meanwhile, straight ahead, former navy seal and congress meant dan crenshaw risked his life fighting terrorists overseas to protect americans and sustain an injury to his eye. up next, he will join us for his

you. ainsley: how are you doing? >> i'm doing okay. this was a bit unexpected but i think people don't realize that they see me in public and they see that i've obviously got the patch over the right side but a lot of people don't realize is that the left eye was badly, badly damaged in that blast and i've gone through many surgeries to get back to some sense of normalcy. use a very specific one-of-a-kind lens to get corrected vision on my left eye in there was always a chance something would happen again and i've got to say i thought we were out of the woods and we were always worried that the right not might detach because i had retina surgery on that i before but almost ten years later we do not necessarily think i would be back facedown living in darkness again like i was in 2012 and it's interesting that people have read my book fortitude, the first chapter is

perspectives from darkness and everyone was asking me what that was like laying face down with a gas bubble in her eye for about that long and i did not think i would have to live through it again but look, i'm lucky and i would call this my third surgical miracle with this i and the surgeons were worried that it would keep falling apart and it turns out that years of scar tissue build up had eventually started to detach it and a few weeks ago i noticed my vision closing in and went to see a doctor and they said you needed emergency surgery to put the retina back. brian: dan, what is the prognosis? you up to gradually get the vision back and can you see anything right now? >> so, the way i described my vision right now, i would say put on a dive mask covered up the right side of course and still the left side of it with a bubble bath solution and then rub the outer lens with vaseline so i can kind of see. i can kind of get around but

that is what it looks like. as a bubble dissipate so they put this gas bubble in her eye which acts as a band-aid on your retina because the reason your face down for a while and luckily i only had to do that for seven days but the reason you do that is so like gas presses up against your retina and holds it in place while it heals and then that gas may be no longer serves a purpose after those seven days but it also doesn't go away for about six weeks. i can't travel for six weeks until this gas bubble is gone. i can't really see very well either but we are optimistic that we'll get back to some sense of normalcy and for me normal means i can correct my really bad vision hopefully back to 2020 the way it was before. i may fake it meaning i don't have a lens in my eye at all so when you get a cataract your lens is clouded over and destroyed and a lot of people get a new lens, artificial lens back in there i and i can't do that because of all the damage

so i have always lived without a lens which means without any glasses and without any contacts and i usually just the shapes and colors and so that's my normal state. a lot of people don't realize that and people think i've just got a good old normal eye in my left eye but that's never been true so we've always been dealing with this and it's nothing new for us. steve: terrible. my wife famously had eye cancer so i know so much about the eye and you're talking about the lens on the front but it's the retina on the back where the field of vision is the scene of vision and that was detached and that's why you couldn't see anything. i know last week congressman you attended a hearing because you didn't need to see what was going on but you only needed to hear what was going on in that day you said when you go to war sometimes this is what happens. >> yeah, that's exactly right. don't feel bad for us. this is an all volunteer force. guys like me raise our right hand we choose to go to war. i did not ask you to go to war

and i wanted to be a navy seal. my wife and i talked about this a lot. we've been through a lot of trying times and i don't think anyone i know, including us, whatever change anything. i don't think we would change anything for the world and would not change any of our experiences. they make you stronger and give you perspective and it's yet another obstacle that reminds you of that perspective. you know, there is a lot of people going through much worse things than you and that's the truth i think that americans can rely on to stiffen their spines sometimes and try and we have a lot of those trying times, whatever that may be. don't feel bad for us. we can get through this. i'm pretty good at adapting in my life has been great here helping me out where i need help and i also see no reason why we

can't do our official duties. i've been back to doing hearings again for a while now. you know, did not miss a beat when it comes to official duties and still stay off social media because it's hard to keep up with that when you can't see exactly what is going on but frankly, that's a blessing. i would recommend everyone stay off it for a time and just day out of the political fray and maybe catch up on your reading. for me those are audiobooks but i read about ten different audiobooks and really just got to take a step back but we are doing everything we need to do and i think i will be back to some sense of normalcy in a few weeks as this bubble goes down and i can see a little better and get around a bit better and we will be back to normal in no time, back to traveling in three or four weeks, i think. you know, back to planning that fourth of july party i promised everybody. steve: steve. ainsley: how can we pray for you

specifically? >> look, pray for me to have the patience to get through this than patients in the strength. ainsley: and that retina for heel paired god bless you and your wife. brian: >> great to be back. brian: thank you for telling your story. dan crenshaw, up and back to work. thank you, dan. >> thank you. steve: a dozen minutes before the top of the hour and janice dean joins us right now. she has a bunch of storms behind her. >> yes. these are storm reports that we've received over the last 72 hours, very active over the last couple of days with really dynamic strong systems that caused catastrophic damage in of course, we had loss of life. the good news is the cold front associated with this will sweep across the east coast, cooler, drier air behind it and we still have to get through today with the potential of some flash

flooding, especially along the gulf coast here and it looks like we have a flash flood warning just southwest of biloxi so that will be an issue and then eventually this evening into the overnight we will say goodbye to the cold front which will be great news. for the meantime we could see an inch, engine have a rainfall and then quieter days ahead, at least for the next several days as we head into the weekend for the east coast and we still have active weather across the northwest and then a weaker system for the ohio valley and great lakes and we are not talking about a severe weather outbreak which is good news. there is your forecast today. pretty nice for the most part we say goodbye to that cold front and then cooler, drier conditions for much of the eastern seaboard. steve, ainsley and brian back to you. brian: thanks, janice but now we know what's happening with earth. move over meat lovers, many food companies and restaurants are bowing to fight climate change by taking beef off the menu so what will this mean for carnivores like pete hegseth who
