i'm benjamin hall in for todd piro. jillian: i'm jillian mele. minutes ago, the white house reveals additional executive orders president biden is set to sign as he aims to combat gender issues and sexual violence in schools. ben: doug luzader joins us live as the president always calls on congress to pasco individual relief. doug -- pass covid relief. >> reporter: hot off the presses, this adds to the pile of executive orders that the president has already signed. one of these asks the department of education to look into existing regulations to eliminate a sexual violence and evaluate changes made during the trump administration. the other sets up what they're calling a gender policy council. it's intended to combat what they call systemic bias and discrimination including sexual harassment, ensuring access to comprehensive healthcare and preventing and responding to gender based violence, promoting equity, that's a key word for this administration, not equality, but equity and opportunity in education and leadership, advancing gender equality, globally. this comes as the house is expected to vote tomorrow on the massive covid relief bill that just passed the senate over the weekend. here's what that bill includes. it includes, yes, those stimulus checks, $1,400 for most americans. there would be some new income level phase-outs for this. if you make over $75,000 a year for individuals or 150 of $150,000 forcouples, that checke out. it extends federal enhanced unemployment benefits to the beginning of september. but democrats lost out on that big hike in the minimum wage up to $15 that they were pushing for. the president is expected to quickly sign this into law and then move on to the other big issue here, which is voting rights. this is another huge item on the democratic agenda. the president has pushed a new executive order on this and wants congress to pass what they call hr1. >> this is a landmark piece of legislation that is urgently needed to protect the right to vote and integrity of our elections and to repair and strengthen our democracy. i hope the senate does its work so i can sign it into law. >> reporter: republicans say this is a huge democratic power grab to usurp power from the states and they intend to block it. >> so hr1 will come to the senate and it will die in the senate because we have the ability as long as democrats work with us to make sure you need 60 votes and not one republican is going to vote for hr1 because it's a federal takeover of elections. >> reporter: we'll see. that 60 vote threshold, the filibuster is in question, with joe manchin saying while he wants to preserve the filibuster, he is open to making some changes. benjamin and jillian. ben: very interesting. not to mention the biden administration had thought of looking at ways to break the filibuster. we'll see whether that happens. jillian: let's go to another fox alert. two new york police officers are shot during a standoff overnight. the nypd responding to the brooklyn apartment building. a man hiding inside his closet calling to report his roommate was armed with a gun. one officer was shot in the chest, but the bullet hit his protective vest. the other was shot in the leg. police took the suspect into custody. we'll keep you updated. ben: and today jury selection begins for the trial of the former minneapolis police officer charged with george floyd's death. derek chauvin is charged with second degree murder and man manslaughter. video shows him on floyd's neck for at least nine minutes. thousands of protesters held a silent march throughout the city, calling for justice. jillian: new developments over the weekend in the scandals piling up against new york governor andrew cuomo. the governor refusing to resign as more women come forward and accuse him of sexual misconduct. ben: anita vogel joins us live with the latest accusations. anita. >> reporter: good morning, jillian and ben. another major blow for governor cuomo as he loses support from the state's top two democrats. one of them even calling for him to step down. this comes amid mounting allegations of sexual harassment and under-counting covid-19 deaths in nursing homes. two more women who worked for cuomo now accusing him of inappropriate behavior, bringing the number to five. former aide ana liss seen on the least says cuomo touched her lower back inappropriately and kissed her hand at work. while former press aide, karen hinton, seen on the right, says he invited her back to his hotel room and gave her a tight, unwanted embrace. cuomo denied any intentional wrong-doing. >> ms. hinton, what she said is not true. she has been a long-time political adversary of mine. on to ms. lis, i say to people in the office, how you doing, are you dating? that's my way of doing friendly banter. but i never meant to make anyone feel unwelcome. >> reporter: still, the latest allegations prompted the first senior democrat in the state, andrea stewart cousins, to call on the governor to resign. the washington post has reached out to dozens of men and women who worked for cuomo since the '90s, many of them describe a toxic work culture with one reporter from the paper tweeting, quote, i've been a reporter for a decade now and i don't think i have ever heard people as fearful to speak about someone as they are about governor cuomo. form earn staffers describe rage and vindictiveness and they fear he will destroy their careers. the governor is under investigation by the fbi for allegedly undercounting covid deaths of patients who died in nursing homes. there's a lot going on there. ben and jillian, back to you. jillian: a lot of people demanding a lot of answers, that is for sure. anita vogel live for us. thank you. ben: thanks, anita. south dakota governor kristi noem says it's clear govern nor cuomo has a history of trying to cover things up and takes a dig at the media for doing it. >> he tried to cover up his actions throughout the covid pandemic, tried to cover up the damage done of what happened in nursing homes, the deaths that happened there. it appears as though he tried to cover up what has happened with these young women in his life as well. what's amazing to me is how differently the media treated governor cuomo compared to brett kavanaugh. over and over now, we've heard these women tell their stories against governor cuomo and i think that the media not covering it until several of them came forward was shameful. ben: while he resists the calls to resign, governor cuomo did say he would sign a law stripping his emergency pandemic powers. jillian: this is interesting. a covid-19 pill is now in preliminary testing showing it can stop the virus from reproducing. dr. marc siegel says the medication looks promising. >> it may be the holy grail on this because it was just studied in phase two trials and it literally stopped the virus in its tracks and there wasn't any virus found in the patients that were studied. jillian: dr. siegel says he leaves believes we will be out of the pandemic by this summer. let's hope he is right. meantime, president biden sending b-52 bombers to fly over the middle east for the fourth time this year. u.s. central command said the flight was meant to deter aggression in the region. the defense secretary warning the u.s. will, quote, do what is necessary to protect troops after rockets were fired at an air base in iraq. ben: pope francis returning to the vatican after a his historic four-day trip to iraq. speaking in churches damaged or destroyed by isis, the pope told followers to forgive islamic extremists and not give up courage in the face of persecution. he also held mass to a crowd of thousands at a stadium which had been hit by rockets from iran backed militants just last month. jillian: it is nine minutes after the hour. still ahead, president biden making history. >> happy to take questions if that's what i'm supposed to do, whatever you want me to do. [bleep] jillian: he's the first president to not hold a news conference by this point in at least a century. when the white house says biden will finally face the media. ben: and letters sent during the korean war delivered seven decades later, how the lost mail sent bay korean war veteran finally made it to his family. ♪ only in america. ♪ s why i go with liberty mutual — they customize my car insurance so i only pay for what i need.

jillian: jody hice is slamming the bill for not offer aing immediate relief and he joins us live. thanks for joining us. >> good to see you. thanks for having me. jillian: obviously this got no republican support. tell me the issues you have with this. >> where do you begin? there's so much in this bill that's just outright wrong, $1.9 trillion, less than 9% of it actually goes to covid relief. it's filled with bailout programs, $350 billion going to bail out states. we have money going for a rapid transit system in pelosi's district, a bridge in schumer's district. $128 billion for schools over the next seven years. only 5% going to schools right now. the pandemic is going to be over by the end of the year and yet we're going to be paying schools for seven more years. there's money for the endo do youdowment of the arts, -- endowment of the arts. americans are going to get $1,400. this is going to cost them $5,700 apiece. so the american people are losing $4,300 with this 1.9 trillion monstocity. ben: there have been some concessions, some changes made by the democrat. have any of those made this bill more palletable. >> absolutely not. it's $2 trillion of wasteful spending. the only way you can stimulate the economy is to open it. what good is it for us to charge the american people $5,700, giving them back 1400 and claim that that's a win while we're still in the process of keeping schools closed and businesses closed. the effort needs to be directed towards coming out of this pandemic and restoring the livelihoods of both individuals and businesses and this bill does nothing of the sort. this is a continued pathway of bankrupting our country. jillian: let's talk about this for a second. house democrats are trying to get this for the people act, known as hr1, passed. let's go ahead and pull up what is in this. as you can see, it cuts photo id requirements, allows unlimited ballot harvesting, allows 16 and 17-year-olds to register to vote, allows same day voter registration. i was doing research on this this morning, reading a bunch of articles. i came across an opinion piece in the boston herald. it reads, quote, nancy pelosi's top priority is to turn america into a one party nation ruled by democrats. her bill, hr1, trashes the u.s. constitution in an attempt to rig the system and make it virtually impossible to elect a republican president or congress again. it's a power grab. sir, i thought this was just really interesting to see because, look, it's the boston herald. it's not a paper from d.c. it's not what i expected to read. and i wanted to get your reaction to that because those are some pretty fighting and strong words. >> well, it's spot-on. that's exactly what this bill is all about. look, we were dealing with this all year long last year in the oversight committee, under the guise of the pandemic. the argument was we've got to make voting more accessible to everyone and so we need all these ballots going out to individuals on all the voter registration files. they fall for hr1 for all -- fought for hr1 all year last year. they succeeded in certain states, california, for example, and look at the disaster that's been created there. now they're trying to nationalize that. it is a federal takeover of the election system which is the last thing in the world we need, not to men's the fact that it's -- mention the fact that it's unconstitutional because the states are given the authority to manage and to do the election process in the various states. but yeah, this -- who in the world would be in favor of sending live ballots to everyone on voter registration files, number one, knowing those files are wrong. secondly, having zero voter identification associated with any of these ballots. it is absolutely a disaster. it would make democrats in control permanently and that of course is exactly what the democrats want. ben: congressman, thank you very much for joining us this morning. we have to leave it there. it doesn't look as if it will pass the senate, whether democrats will try, try again remains to be seen. thank you for joining us this morning. jillian: thank you. >> thank you. jillian: still to come, florida governor ron de santis is a republican on the rise. brian kilmeade traveled to the sunshine state for a one on one interview. >> these lockdowns

because basically he decided that he was going to be one of the last to lockdown and one of the first to open up. it all happened within one month in april. there were tough periods in the summer. for the most part, you have an economy ready to stand up. when you talk about per capita deaths and cases, they're in the bottom half of the 50 states and they don't have an economy flat on its back. he wanted to find out what it was like to govern a state that's so vital for the gop and democrats, he is a republican governor who won by 1%, now with 53% approval rating. i wanted to find out what his average day is like. he has the youngest family in the governor's mansion in 40 years, he has three kids under four years old. so he got his business side, his political side and his real side. here's part one of two parts that you're going to see throughout the morning. now where are we going? >> we're going to go to ocala and bring vaccines to our great senior citizens. brian: have you gotten it? >> i'm not eligible. i'm under 45. when we get the situation below 45 i'll do it but not before then. brian: i'm looking at your itinerary. good luck in there. >> we're really excited to be here in marion county, the site is going to do 3300 pfizer vaccines over the next three days. did you get the shot? was it easy? >> yes, it was. >> thank you so much. i'm glad we're able to bring it here and i'm glad it was easy for you guys to get it. are you getting it right now? ing there you go. brian: successful event, right? >> for sure. you were able to see some of the seniors, they were real happy, real excited. when you do it crisply, efficiently, seniors feel good, everyone wins. brian: now a working lunch. >> you're the best ever. >> we could not be more appreciative. thank you. >> yep, yep. brian: seems like you really are enjoying these events. you like the people, want to hear what they want to say. >> absolutely. especially with the restaurants, they're thriving here. they're not allowed to operate normally in other states. the folks here appreciate the way florida approached it. brian: you were one of the last states to shut down. >> i'll be doing an executive order today, directing all floridians to limit movement. brian: you're also one of the first to open up. >> the new phase will start on monday, may 4th. i was like look, these lockdowns don't work. we've got to get people back to work. brian: you get to the white house and meet with president trump and you come out and were greeted by a hostile press. >> everyone was saying florida would be like new york or italy. that has not happened. here we are, almost a year later, new york has almost twice the per capita covid mortality than florida. by keeping everything open, we are so much better off as a result. brian: essentially, president biden said that's neanderthal thinking. >> i think these guys are invested in lockdowns. i get that. the facts don't support it. if the lockdowns worked, then florida would be way worse than new york and these states. brian: where are we going now? >> now we're going to go to polk county. we'll do our first event with the new johnson & johnson vaccine. we'll be doing it with law enforcement personnel. >> as you can see, we've got a group of folks here today. they've been streaming in all day. we'll do it again tomorrow as well. >> we think johnson & johnson will be great for people in the workforce, the cops, the sheriff's deputies, fire, teachers, those folks. so we're focusing on these drives on the 50 and up in those communities. >> the community together can put this pandemic down by putting shots in arms. our governor has been saying you're in a very difficult, very trying time. he didn't shut florida down. kids are in school. our crime rate's at a 49-year low. that's no accident. it doesn't just happen. it happens because of great leadership and that's what we have with governor de santis. >> thank you. thanks. >> it's hard to be a around you and not see and hear the buzz about you. and then you see the way you're received at cpac, the buzz is that if donald trump doesn't run that governor he de santis is going to try to be president de santis. >> look, i think that we're in 2021. we're going to have a re-election in 2022. that's kind of what i'm focused on. brian: mike pompeo said he was considering it. would you say that ron de santis could say that, you're considering it. >> i wouldn't say that. it's premature to have the discussion. brian: the president works you guys are friends with, if he says what do you think i should do, what would you tell him? >> i would tell him honestly take care of yourself for a while. as we get past 2022 make your decision at that time. brian: lastly, just to review where you come from, this middle class kid from the middle of florida, now find yourself governor. did you predict this? >> no. i think i've been blessed with a strong work ethic. i think that's one of the reasons we've been able to do this. brian: thanks for the day. i know you, you'll go back to the office and keep working. >> absolutely. brian: it makes it kind of tough when you have three little kids at home to be gone all day but his wife, casey, understands it. she was also -- we can relate to this, guys. she was an a anchor in jacksonville. they met on a driving range. they have a passion for golf. they hit it off then. next thing you know, they're engaged and married and then a few years later decide to run for office, wins the primary, and gets the congressional seat and one of the things he did, he defended president trump when he didn't know him. he said there's nothing here with the russia investigation. president trump says no one else is defending me. who is this guy defending me on every channel. i want to meet him and that created a friendship that existed from day one of the presidency until today and i think it's going to be beneficial for both. jillian: i'm going to go to the driving range today. [laughter] brian: you never know who you're going to meet. maybe the next governor of new york, there might be an opening soon. jillian: that was awesome, brian. i was in florida last wednesday, shooting a story. everyone down there loves him. they are so thankful to have been given an opportunity to let their businesses thrive and to be able to make a living for themselves this last year. it was remarkable to see. brian: yeah. he run by a razor's edge. he is up to 54%. he was up at 72%. it's a vital state. they value performance more than anything else. and he is just trying to do the best he can and they say he's not warm. i don't know. i thought he came off when we stepped back, we watched it, that was real. his interaction with people is candid and honest. jillian: good stuff. ben: such an impressive man, such a long cv, he has to be a frontrunner for 2024. brian: we'll see what happens. ben: the crisis at the border growing by the day. >> this camp is closed. where will the migrants that are coming that are still here go?

>> the camp itself had minimal spread. the residents, the migrants themselves took really good precautions to minimize spread. we didn't see any severe cases in the camp. we feel very confident the migrants are making very good choices and heeding recommendations from health services like ours. and very confident that we can continue to encourage safe practices for covid. >> reporter: lastly, mark, this camp is closed. where will the migrants that are coming that are still here go? >> i think that's to be decided. there's obviously a need for increasing infrastructure here. i know we're working with partners to ensure that that infrastructure is built. >> reporter: ben and jillian, to throw it back to you. we can't get access into this now closed camp but we do know there are other shelters and migrants spread out here and that's what we're going to take a look at a little bit later. ben: denmark is facing back lash for being the first european country to desport dept syrian refugees. is it the first country to feel the impact of a migrant surge on the economy and is that a warning to the biden administration? former leader of the u.k. brexit party, nigel farage joins us with his thoughts. thank you for joining us this morning. you were vocal in 2015 when over 1 million syrian refugees came into europe and we saw the effect it had on the german economy and other economies. is denmark to make this move? do you see comparisons with the way migrants are moving into the u.s. on the southern border? >> just remember that 85% of those that came in 2015 were young men, men between 16 and 30 years old without any cultural connection with the countries they were going to at all, not speaking the languages of the countries they were going to at all. so the problems aren't just economic. there are deeper problems. let me give you an example. in germany, right now the muslim population is 5% and yet 50% of the intensive care beds with covid are from that population. so integration at all levels is a problem. denmark has seen the problems in germany. it has seen the problems certainly in sweden which has got some even bigger social problems and so we don't want this. you know, refugees are people who flee in peril or terror. that's been the definition for decades and decades. denmark is doing the right thing. i'm watching what is going on in the usa on the southern border. people are coming clearly are not refugees, clearly they are economic migrants and not only does that bring problems, but it also leads to resentiment from those who legally come in to the country. ben: and now we've got to look at the u.s. again, trying to make another comparison. the biden administration bringing up a number of policies which you could compare to the eu. you've got the national healthcare movement they're pushing towards, the bill bailout. do you see the biden administration moving to a socialist european model. >> very much so. he's following the same line that hillary clinton would if she had won in 2016. she was telling her mates on wall street that she wanted america to join the common market, namely to link up economically and politically with the european union. and let's not forget. these people are globalists. they don't believe in national democracy. they believe in the world being altered on a bigger stage and run by bureaucrats and that is the danger with the biden administration and already just a few weeks in we can see those signs. ben: switzerland, let me get your view on this, switzerland voted yesterday to ban the burka, saying it was repress i've towards women. what -- repressive toward women. >> the burqa came in in the last two or three degenerative . it came in, it's now been banned in belgium, it's now been banned in france and now the swiss have voted against it. the burqa's ban, we all have to wear face masks but i guess in time we'll work that one out. ben: now nigel, the last time you and i met we were at the wedding of harry and meghan. here we are, full circle, on the other side. i know you have strong views about her interview. you're not such a supporter, you don't think this was the right time. explain. >> look, she's got mover's advantage in the usa. she put the story out with no counter narrative at all. i want to say this. accusations of racism, you were there, i was there in windsor. she was welcomed with open arms by the british people and by the british media. the reason they started criticizing her was because of her and harry's rank hypocrisy, telling us all about global warming and flying around the world in private jets was just where it started. and to accuse our royal family of racism, do you know the queen has headed up the commonwealth for 70 years, there are 2.3 billion people in it and the vast majority are asian or black people. the royal family have done more to help people of color in the third world than any other family in the world. that doesn't stack up. she wants a career in hollywood, she wants to use the role of being a princess. i'm appalled by what she said and even more disappointed in prince harry betraying his own family in public. that is despicable. ben: dignified silence from them so far. i must say, you decided to step back from frontline politics. some people will be very sad to see you leave. we hope you will keep coming back on air and giving us your opinions here. >> i certainly will, thank you. ben: thank you. we'll be right back. ♪ ♪ smooth driving pays off. saving is easy when you're in good hands. allstate. click or call for a quote today. struggling to manage my type 2 diabetes was knocking me out of my zone, allstate. but lowering my a1c with once-weekly ozempic® helped me get back in it. ♪ oh, oh, oh, ozempic® ♪ my zone?
