[snow blower] steve: there is j.r. in my driveway. ainsley: working hard here. steve: able to go right back to sleep because when i get up here in two and a half hours clear sailing. ainsley: sleep a little longer you don't have to go out there. steve: it's great. somebody else is doing the hard work. thank you very much for joining us here on "fox & friends" on this very busy friday, tg. >> r.if. thank goodness it's fox. big scandal in new york state and that involves as you know we have been talking about this for nine month how governor de blasio -- governor de blasio -- governor cuomo. governor blazio astoria. that guy ordered coronavirus patients who were being released from the hospital even tug they may have been positive with coronavirus, back in the nursing homes. thousands of people died after that. well, now, 9 new york state assembly republicans are going to introduce a bill next week to form a bipartisan impeachment committee to gather the facts. they will have two months to alligator facts on that guy who has through his secretary, has admitted that they covered up and stonewalled. gather the facts on him and maybe impeach him. pete: it's very significant development before the legislature was calling for just revoking emergency powers. he was emergency powers given him broad latitude cuomo to do what he wants. originally we are going to stop that in april. this is the next step, ainsley, the fact that we are going to form a bipartisan, bicameral. if 60 days of what exactly happened. they acknowledge there is a federal investigation as well. which is part of the reason they covered up the numbers. state legislatures are closing ranks around one of the democrats ron kim who was verbally harassed on a phone call from governor cuomo. ainsley: cuomo ordered bark march 25th, last year, 2020. that nursing homes take in these infected patients. that infuriated so many families because their loved ones were dying and they are saying if these infected people had not been put in the nursing home, maybe my loved one would have survived. then it came out his aide, his secretary, said we didn't release all of the numbers because of the doj investigation. steve: that was their excuse. ainsley: exactly. intentionally withheld information, these republicans are saying, under reported fatality numbers by more than 50% because there was that attorney general report said cuomo's numbers are too low. they are actually higher than. this recent revelations that they hid the truth to avoid doj investigation. so will barclay is the new york assemblyman republican conference leader and he tweeted this out. he said the nysam, i guess new york state assemblyman and i will introduce a measure to begin the process of forming an impeachment commission to gather facts and evidence surrounding governor cuomo's handling and subsequent cover-up of the covid-19 crisis in nursing homes. steve: you know what? here is the thing about this particular scandal that is different. cuomo is a democrat. and there are democrats who are -- you mentioned ron kim, state assemblyman, he lost his uncle. he has been calling for an investigation. he revealed on february 11th. governor cuomo called him up and just started screaming at him and said i'm going to destroy you. he was on with martha yesterday and described the threatening phone call. here is assemblyman ron kim, a democrat. >> the first words that came out of his mouth was asking me if i were an honorable man. and he continued to yell and let me know that i haven't seen his wrath and anger that he can go out tomorrow and start telling the world of how bad of a person i am. and pretty much ruin and finish my career and my livelihood. it was all just part of a ploy in retrospect in order to pressure me and scare me into issuing a statement. pete: is this just one democrat with an ax to grind in new york with governor cuomo or is it more? no, it's a lot more there are 12 new york state lawmakers who support ron kim who have become the voice and face of democrats honestly calling out the governor to say you are lying to us. you are lying to the citizens of new york. we need this investigation. we need to revoke your powers. there is a very prominent democrat in the state of new york who runs this city. bill de blasio. regardless of what you think of him. he has issues with cuomo as well. listen to bill de blasio. >> there clearly needs to be a full investigation. we are talking about thousands of people who it are lost. our seniors, our elders, families that still don't know the truth. and the questions that need to be answered to make sure that nothing like this ever happens again. there absolutelily has to be a full investigation. we will say this, you know, someone being bullied is not acceptable. and ron kim was trying to raise real concerns and honest concerns on behalf of families in this city, in this state who have lost looed ones. and that deserves respect. and he wasn't given respect. pete: ainsley, part of the reason those democrats joined ron kim because they have been bullied by cuomo, too. they know that's how he operates. ainsley: de blasio said in another interview he believes kim 100 percent. classic andrew cuomo. the bullying is nothing new. ron kim says wife couldn't sleep at night. crying. fearing for her husband wants future and life. he was about to bathe his children. 10 minute conversation that felt like an hour. no man was ever spoken to me like that in my entire life. however, cuomo's senior aide a man named rich, says kim is lying and said three people heard that conversation when the governor complawld kim. steve: as we heard from de blasio yesterday, he said, look, cuomo is a famous screamer. a lot of politicians have gotten that phone call on a myriad of different subjects. and, you know, so we listed those dozen democrats and we listed mr. de blasio as people on the democratic side who say that you know, essentially we have got investigation. do you know who came out in defense of mr. kim yesterday? alec baldwin. alec baldwin, the democrat, that super democrat tweeted yesterday that says cuomo should resign if he threatened ron kim's career. ainsley: is he a screamer too. screaming is one thing but telling him if you do not cover up this scandal i will destroy you is something else. pete: he wanted a statement out of it. steve: intimidation. pete: see whether the media ever starts to cover this. paging cnn. steve: good luck with that so we are going to talk about that throughout the morning. plus, something new today. griff jenkins is live in d.c. with the major immigration change that is happening today. griff, good morning. griff: good morning, happy friday, guys. take a moment first, steve, to congratulate for your win at that happy hour last night. i was behind you along with lauren green and you, of course, had the snow blower. just to be fair and on the record, i had a wife covered in paint, painting the living room totally redoing it. steve: when we were doing the happy hour, i heard. this i said where is somebody hammering and you said well, it looks nice behind me and then he swiveled the camera over and there was your wife. pounding nails into the wall. and she was -- painting your entire living room while you were sitting there with a beer playing happy hour. griff: this is the content subscribers to fox nation paid for. will the poor suffering. mrs. kathleen jenkins was exposed to happy hour on fox nation last night and my dog rascal you will remember stole my sharpy that i'm supposed to write the answers for it will destroyed it, chewed it up and it spilled ink everywhere. pete: that's a show to watch. ainsley: all that money you saved to hire a painter you can now replace the sofa. brian. griff: they he could have given me handicap points. steve: you asked your wife for some of the answers and she gave them to you. pete: phone a friend. that's not part of happy hour. griff: we have to move on excuse me thanks very much. catastrophe at the border. it 25,000 asylum seekers forced to remain in mexico under the trump policy will start crossing the border today. some of them into deep frozen texas. and this comes as senator bob menendez unveiled yesterday the administration's immigration overhaul bill. >> undoing trump's damage and passing minor reforms is not enough. our current system is riddled with inefficiencies and needless cruelties. >> what's in the bill? take a look. it has an 8 year pathway to citizenship for 11 million undocumented immigrant here it. daca recipients receipt. places the word alien with non-citizen. clears family backlogs and stipulate no added enforcement mechanisms. now, the bill would need at least 10 republicans to get on board. none have emerged. in the house even some democrats are opposed. texas congressman gonzalez says the way we are doing it right now is catastrophic and is a recipe for disaster in the middle of a pandemic. meanwhile, ice issues new guidelines narrowing enforcement actions by prioritizing three main categories. national security, border security, and public safety. now, ice officers must get pre-approval from supervisors before arresting or deporting anyone who is not convicted of an aggravated felony. that means assault, robbery and drunk driving do not qualify. ice officials say it's an effort to focus limited resources. in speaking of limited resources, fox news has learned some ice detainees are now getting the covid vaccine on a state-by-state basis. steve, ainsley, pete? steve: thank you, griff. give our best to your wife. pete: absolutely. and we are sorry on your defeat to steve. oops, we are all used to it here. but i will say, steven miller, who was the head of the immigration policy for the trump white house called this the most radical immigration bill ever written effectively attempting to completely under cut nation hood getting rid of words like illegal. given employers the opportunity to hire illegals with impunity and migrants waiting to come across the border have created a surge that the local officials down there and we will talk about it later on the program are saying we can't take it. we don't have the resources for the amount of people coming across the border so a lot of problems. ainsley: all right. picture. this 4:00 p.m., school board is talking about reopening schools. this is in northern california. oakley unified school district and get on a zoom call. when the organizer are on there first all chatting amongst themselves. they didn't realize parents were starting to log on to this youtube channel and listening to these teachers sorry, not teachers, board of trustees talking. and they didn't realize that everyone could hear them. they were using profanity. they were speaking about parents using marijuana. and they were saying you know why these parents want these schools to open up? they want their babysitters back. listen. >> [bleep] if you are going to call me out i'm going to [bleep] you up. [laughter] >> sorry, that's just me. >> they want to pick on us because they want their babysitters back. >> we have the meeting open to the public right now. >> na-uh. >> that's what lori just said. >> great. steve: so at the end they realize oh, wait, everybody can see what we are talking about. this is the most infuriating story of the day because we all think -- everybody is working to get our kids back to school. but these members of the school board have such indignation for the parents. it's like okay, you know, and at the beginning they were talking about one -- that kim bead who was on the call, what she would do if parents commented online or wrote letters about reopening the schools. if they said that to her face and she said if you are going to call me out, i'm going to f you up and things like that. somebody else said i totally hear that because my brother had a delivery service for medical marijuana and the clientele were parents with their kids in school. they are suggesting the parents are all potted up at home and they want their kids pack in the schools for the tea parties also known as the babysitters according to them. it's so infuriating. just to hear it and when they finally got caught it's like oh, this is not good. no kidding it's not good. now, there are calls for the entire school board to get kicked out. they should just all resign. and the infuriating thing about this is the superintendent of schools was on the call. and listen to the school board members rail against the parents said nothing. he did put out a statement and said this: these comments aren't typical and more importantly they aren't what the community should expect from our school district. can you tell this was written by a lawyer? i know that we lost trust in the community. i won't make excuses for what happened or why it happened. i'm the superintendent. i'm responsible and accountable and i'm truly sorry for what took place. i have been and continue to be committed to working together for the betterment of the school district. he kept talking and talking. but he was right there listening to the school board members disparage the parents said nothing. and we got one of the parents coming up two hours right now on the program and they are fed up to here with the school board that they thought was looking out for their kids' best interest. not the case. just saying. pete: you are right to be frustrated because, every parent watching this is wondering is that how they talk about my kids? is that how the administrators and. steve: is that how the union deals? pete: when that statement starts out these comments aren't typical? are they or are they not? do you have contempt for these parents universally. you mentioned there is a petition calling out the school board at change.org has almost 4,000, 5,000 signatures from parents presumably, hopefully many of them from oakley elementary school? to reveal the real feelings that teachers or administrators have for parents is maddening. steve: is that why people want their kids back in school? ainsley: no. i was going to say that. steve: stay at home and smoke pot and watch general hospital? i don't think so. is general hospital still on? pete: no. ainsley: parents want their kids back to school because they want their children to learn. many situations it's been almost aer i don't. kids have lost a year we are not trained as teachers. teachers know what our kids need to know how to learn. when i'm teaching her how to read the teacher items me what letter to start with. steve: wait until trying no, trigonometry.>> i can't teach hi don't remember how to teach her trig properly. the parent say that parents just want babysitters? no we want great teachers who love our kids and most of them do. pete: , you want great teachers and love your kids and most of them do. is there a time component to this as well? sure. that doesn't mean schools are babysitters. when people work, men and women and they go to their worksite as we hope to do very soon, it is helpful that they are in school. physically at that time. it doesn't make them a babysitter. ainsley: they want them to resign. these parents want the board of trustees to resign. steve: they should. ainsley: if not have to do a recall. that's going to cost money and take money away from kids in our district. pete: like a hot mic moment on "fox & friends." you say the wrong thing in the commercial break and mic happens to be on. steve: when does that happen? [buzzer] steve: form of the question, mr. many brian will be back on monday. are you. pete: brian will be back, don't worry. moving on to another story as well or to a commercial. president biden

bill ever written, ever drafted, ever submitted in the history of this country. it is breath-taking. >> well, the measure includes an 8-year pathway to citizenship and it green card eligibility for dreamers and undocumented farm workers. additionally the trump administration's remain in mexico policy officially ends today. here with reaction, former acting dhs secretary under president trump and visiting fellow at the heritage foundation chad wolf. chad, good morning to you. >> good morning. thank you for having me. >> okay. steven miller paints a pretty gruesome picture about this. >> yeah. i think he is correct. this bill is fundamentally flawed. this is not in my view a serious effort at immigration reform. we all know that our immigration system certainly needs some needed reform. this is not it it. doesn't go nearly as far as far as border security measures and enforcement that we need. so i'm a little disappointed in the biden administration of putting basically a wish list together of those on the far left and submitting this as a bill. steve: sure, we have heard for years that the administration, the trump administration tried to do something about the dreamers after the obama administration essentially created that program by executive fiat. going forward though, a lot of people on the political right are saying when you look at this new bill, it's just amnesty, regardless of what they call it, it's amnesty. >> well, that's absolutely correct. i mean, what you are saying -- what they are saying that 11 probably much larger than that 11 million individuals here illegally. individuals that broke the law to come here to the country are now given a pathway to citizenship and given status. so i think for the millions of americans that fault law every day, the millions of immigrants who follow the process to become citizens and it's a lengthy process, just this flies in the face of that. and it sends absolutely the wrong message. and what we know from previous amnesty attempts is that if you do this, this is an extremely incentive for future populations to come to the u.s. hoping that they, too. will get amnesty in the future. steve: as we mentioned at the beginning, the remain in mexico policy ends today. i know you were a big proponent of that and happy we were doing that. but there are a number of different things that the border patrol is doing right now after a period of time and processing, they are releasing people from these border facilities into nearby towns. one of them is del rio, texas, and the mayor, bruno lozono put together a video letter to joe biden and is pleading with him: stop releasing people into our community, we can't handle them. here's the mayor. >> i'm pleading and requesting with you to please put a halt to any measures regarding the release of immigrants awaiting court dates into the city of del rio and surrounding areas. we do not have the resources available to house and accommodate these migrants within our community. i will have no choice but to use the extremity measure under the emergency declaration as the mayor of the city of del rio texas to refuse the it will migrants entering the city of del rio. if you do send these individuals into our community. we will be forced to make a decision to leave them without resources under these dire circumstances. >> speaking of resources, we all know from the headlines, chad, that they got no electricity in a lot of texas. and they got boil water problems. they are running out of food and things like that. so the mayor is saying we can't deal with the people who actually live here legally and all these -- this influx of people who are now non-citizens trying to get in the united states. >> yeah. it's really quite remarkable. it seems as though the biden administration and the officials at dhs and others learned nothing from the crisis we saw in 2019. what the mayor just outlined there we learned from hundreds of border communities in 2019 where we had a massive crisis and influx of individuals. had we put together a patchwork of policies and procedures that reduced that flow significantly and in just a matter of weeks here, since inauguration day, there has been a number of executive orders and policies that have created a border crisis, a humanitarian crisis the mayor outlined there. they have created this out of whole cloth. it didn't need to occur. it was under control. but, again, the number of these policies continue to be very, very concerning and then, of course, the bill, the legislation that we're talking about further identifies folks with amnesty. they reduce penalties for border crossers. they provide attorneys for those coming into the country. so, there is a number of full factors that the biden administration unfortunately is sending the signal to smugglers and traffickers and others that it's okay to come. brian: that does seem to be the message chad wolf,

iran withdrawing the push on sanctions to tehran. those economic sanctions were championed under trump as part of his maximum pressure campaign. also the state department signaling that it is willing to go back to the negotiating table. this after a meeting between european foreign ministers and u.s. secretary of state anthony blinken yesterday. as we know iran has flagrantly violated the agreements in the past ramping up uranium enrichment to a level closer to military than energy use and creating uranium metal which experts say does not have an obvious civilian use. now iran is threatening to bar u.n. inspectors from sites starting next week. the clock, always know, clicking to get the situation under control. back to you. pete: todd, thank you very much. ainsley over to

you think you know the narrative. charles: well, without a doubt i think the person who came out most heroic was roaring kitty. he talked about -- he talked about how he was able to buy this stock at 20 bucks. how it changed his life and family's life underscoring the fact that the little guy, he is probably has a little bit more experience, obviously, than your average investor. but by no means is he a professional wall street trader. how the stock market can change your life. that's a message i have been pounding the table on for 30 years. so, certainly in my eyes, he is the most heroic. really, i think the robinhood ceo really fell flat on his face. he had been coached up pretty good. but there wasn't any sincerity in his answers. i think citadel was kind of too cute by half. and a lot of semantics. the bottom line is they seduced a lot of individual investors into the stock market with, you know, with all kinds of gimmicks. you know, someone, one of the questioners asked about this sort of thing that was asking people to actually go to the site or engage in the site a thousand times a day. free stocks, all that stuff. they made it feel like a party. and also what happens it's people like when you go to vegas. people actually feel like they are playing with the house's money. that's not the way you invest or trade by the way that was an atmosphere that was created. also one thing i want to point out before we get started. one of the biggest issues is robinhood stopped people from buying game stop. you could only sell it. this notion that this vlad got a phone call at 2:00 in the morning and to me it's complete 100 percent bs. january 4th. the first trading day of the year, 10 million shares of game stop traded at $17. about $170 million in activity. by january 13th, 144 million shares traded at $4.5 billion. and then you keep going. january 2nd, the volume took it to 1 billion. january 25th, 14 billion. january 26th. >> 6th. $26 billion. if you are the ceo of the brokerage firm and you think you have capitol issues you make moves there. there no way you get a phone call at 2:00 in the morning and quote unquote spring into action by handicapping banging the kneecaps of the very people you profess to be serving. steve: there was a lot of speech aphiing from the politicians yesterday. but probably nothing is going to change. charles, when you were on the program a couple of weeks ago and this was hitting the fan, you were so incensed that it seemed like wall street was ganging up against the little guy who figured out by the reddit how to talk to each other and to talk up stocks that they liked. >> charles: not only talk up, you know, because, you know, i know this sort of narrative oh man a whole bunch of people with hundred bucks did something illegal. they educated each other. this is what is really important. the reddit ceo probably said it best. he came out and said the investment advice on that platform is probably the best. we talk -- if you look at any article before 2020 about millennials. why aren't they in the stock market? what's wrong with them? are they crazy? the millennials aren't in the market. well, they weren't in the market because you told their mom and dad to buy ge at 54 and last time they looked it was 6 bucks. that's why they are not in the market. they have finally figured it out. they got together and shared information. because all the information by the way this whole notion that wall streets that information nobody else has. no, they are publicly traded companies. the information is out there. you just have to go and read it. it's true. citadel can hire a lot of people to read the information. but let's not act like no one has access to it and guess what? reddit formed their own de facto research department. the problem with these traders is that they got greedy. they have to learn a few lessons. but this whole thing still stinks. ainsley: roaring kitty said they had a really difficult year last year. s and he told his parents we are millionaires. he said this money is going to go such a long way for my family. no telling if he cashed out before the stock went back down. anyway, thank you so much. so you can catch. charles: he said he is still buying by the way. ainsley: really?

first, thanks for having us on. pete: of course. >> we are part of this coalition left wing dark money groups spent a record amount of money to elect joe biden for the president. and now those groups want pay back. what's the pay back? it's in the form of extremity liberal policies that are putting people out of work and keeping our kids out of schools liberal activist in the white house work for the same dark money groups that got him elected in the first place. pete: $145 million buy you a lot of ininfluence. '. carrie, your focus is on the consequence of defunding the police. >> yeah. so, you know, personnel policy and biden has chosen instead of going with the unity platform, he pitched the measure people has gone with the complete opposite that is paying back these dark money groups, putting gupta the head of one of those same dark money groups as one of the top officials at the department of justice. this is now the nation's top law enforcement agent being led by anti-police radical. she has endorsed defunding the police even in the midst of the violent riots we saw last summer. she has criticized crime victims families who are advocating for stronger policing standards. this is a really shocking move. the only you can understand it is if you recognize it's a payback. this is not about actually having justice at the department of justice. pete: great point, carrie. radical people at the helm make even more extremity the policies that are there. what are the focus of harry jackson is doing. >> we wanted to highlight mr. becerra's record. he has been nominated for the secretary of health and human services. unfortunately biden has put forward a candidate that has no healthcare experience. has spent his entire career working for the abortion industry, working to support socialized medicine and going after the religious exemptions of groups like its little sisters of the poor. when you look at someone that would be at the helm of hhs in the middle of a deadly pandemic, i can't understand why biden would put someone like this forward if it isn't to enact this extremity progressive partisan agenda as he hopes to take over the rest of the government. pete: i think you are on to it right there. it is encouraging to see conservative groups working together in a coalition because the left has done that in big and powerful ways for quite some time. caitlin, carrie, jessica, thank you for joining us this morning. we appreciate it. >> thank you. pete: you got

had no idea we went through a particular order when we went through things. he was just making it up for the last week. ainsley: that's okay. pete: i was going to talk there but i'm not supposed to. ainsley: we came up with this order during covid because it's just easier when we were zooming so long from home it was easier to have an order. steve: because there was a delay. pete: i have been here for four days i guess hosting and i had no idea about this order. ainsley: you went out of order for the first time earlier today so you did great all week. pete: i was scolded and steve said there is this order. i am like it's clockwise. steve: even griff jenkins knows there is an order and is he joining frufs washington and we dial him in because is he way down at the far right box right now. griff: pete, you should know order think is your background, a military man. pete: i know the weekends are the wild west. i'm relearning order right now, griff. griff: indeed. let me bring you this story. because it's going to be a big border day. you have the first wave of an estimated 25,000 asylum seekers start crossing the border today after being forced to remain in mexico under that trump era policy known as mpp. now, this comes as senator bob menendez yesterday unveiled the biden administration's new immigration overhaul bill. >> undoing trump's damage and passing minor reforms is not enough. our current system is riddled with inefficiencies and needless cruelties. >> so what's in this bill? take a look 8 year pathway to citizenship for the 11 million illegal undocumented. gives green cards to farm workers. daca recipients. replaces the word alien with non-citizen. clears family back logs as well as stipulating no added enforce. mechanisms will many do. the bill needs at least 10 republican information the senate to support it. most have tee cried it. former trump adviser steven miller had this to say about it. >> it is the most radical immigration bill ever written, ever drafted, ever submitted in the history of this country. >> meanwhile, ice issuing new guidelines narrowing enforcement by prioritizing three main categories. national security, border security, and public safety. now, ice officers must get pre-approval from supervisors before arresting or deporting anyone not convicted of an aggravated felony. which means assault, robbery, and drunk driving do not qualify. ice officials said it's to focus limited resources last year ice arrested 93,000 individuals who had more than 374,000 criminal convictions combined. speaking of limited resources, fox news has also learned some ice detainees are now getting the covid vaccine. pete, ainsley, steve? pete: great. griff, thank you very much for restoring order to this program. so you are decriminalizing things that previously would have gotten you deported. you are also sending invites to people who were previously deported to come across the border. you are eliminating the word illegal from the lexicon completely and then also employers are effectively carte blanche allowed to hire illegals and anyone who submits an application to the u.s. government can even if you are illegal and coming out of a covid-19 economic crash, it's americans who need those jobs. so it's not justth consequences of border hopping. it's the idea that illegality is made legal and american citizens are put to the back of the line. it's complete reversal and very dangerous. ainsley: there is nothing more that makes us happier when we heard someone who came to this country and worked hard and did it the right way i love america. when you hear that illegals are jumping to the front of the line when people have been waiting for a long time, haven't seen their kids in five years. that's what makes a lot of people irate. steve: it is said on capitol hill it would be hard for 10 republicans in the senate to sign on, so the bill probably dead in the congress. all right. meanwhile, if you have been watching over the last couple of months, you know that joe biden said one thing when he was running for president and now that he is president, regarding gettingth kids back into schools. it has been a messaging nightmare joe biden said first 100 days get a majority of the kids back. okay. what he meant by that he meant he would get at least 51% of the kid back in school at least one day a week. and then it hit the fan and then he said over on cnn that was a communications problem. i want them all back as soon as possible. and then kamala harris was on "the today show" host was trying to get her to say so you know the cdc has made these recommendations that teachers don't need to get vaccinated? and kamala harris said well, those are just recommendations. but we were waiting for the recommendations and those are just recommendations. we are going to do what we are going to do. and of course a lot of you feel it's all about the teacher's union. yesterday, maybe there was some progress on the democratic side because nancy pelosi said maybe the teachers don't need the vaccine but we do need one thing. watch. >> i think teachers should be vaccinated. i don't know that they must be vac sin nateed before going in. i want everybody to be vaccinated and i certainly want our teachers to be. but depending on what the situation is in their area it may or may not be necessary. we want to send the kids back to school as soon as possible. for that to happen it takes some money. steve: maybe you don't need the vaccines, teachers, maybe the schools need money. so, the more i think about this, and i have been talking to some of my friend and they go, you realize that for the teachers to say, you know, we're not going back until we get the vaccine, essentially they are making the case that the schools need more money. and that helps the democrats in congress push the president's $1.9 trillion rescue plan. don't you think that the instant that bill passes, suddenly the schools are going to go you know what? we are going to reopen because the money is come. ainsley, as we have seen, they have plenty of money now, but they keep making the case we need more money. they don't need more money. ainsley: what it sounds like to me kicking the can down the road. another excuse every week why they can't reopen schools. $11 billion that has not been spent from all these relief pages. so, i would say to nancy pelosi, okay, now, teachers, they don't have to all get vaccinated, great we can reopen. you need money? you have money. a lot of money left to be spent. here you go, nancy, there is your money. pete: exactly right. what do these things have in common. grocery store workers, mail carriers, police, fire, emt. nurses, truck drivers. all professions who went back to work without a vaccine. and if they wouldn't have gone back to work without a vaccine, we wouldn't have our own daily lives. teachers are you essential or not? because you are proving yourself to be nonessential through your unwillingness to go in. it's all as you said, steve, about teacher's union. ainsley: the unions. pete: teachers can agitate inside those unions. there is plenty of wonderful great teachers i'm not saying they are not. they are fantastic. of the unions have a grip on their point of view. dr. ronny jackson who is a texas representative made that point. listen. >> the teachers are, they operate in one of the safest working environments out there in the workforce right now. we have proven in multiple studies recently that kids are not getting this virus. if they get this virus, they don't get sick from it. and if they get sick from it, they are not passing it to each other and not passing it to teachers and to adults. you know, the teacher's unions hold so much authority and power over the democrat party because of all the money that they give to the party. and the party -- you know, the democrats get the money back to. they it's a very incestuous system where they set up get money. they are holding out. there is a $1.9 trillion covid relief package out there. they want to make sure that they get every bit of that that they can get. steve: absolutely, he is right. they want to make sure they get all that money. ainsley, you put up that number that how much is out of there right now. there is $113 billion that has not been spent, right? but in the meantime, the democrat are making the case we need $1.9 trillion because there is a lot of money in there for the schools. how much money for the schools? $130 billion. and the average person hears that and they go wow, that's a lot. that would make sure ha that all the schools are open. they have already got 113 billion in their pocket right now. of the 130 billion in this new bill, do you know how much they would spend this year? $6 billion. 124 billion they would kick into the future in a non-pandemic year they would wind up spending it. does that seem right to you? ainsley: let's talk about this big scandal happening here that is also covid-related happening here in our state of new york. you have heard the scandal about cuomo and republicans are accusing him, they are talking about impeachment now. they are forming this committee. they are saying that he intentionally withheld information. he under reported fatality numbers by more than 50% and their recent revelations that show that they say he hid the truth about this doj. steve: cover-up. ainsley: they are calling it a cover-up. so there are state prawks. gathering the facts. they are gathering the evidence. and they have 60 days. they have two months to submit their findings and their recommendations on whether or not to impeach. it will have to be passed by both houses of the democrat controlled legislature. so no telling if that will happen. there are a lot of democrats that are mad at governor cuomo as well. pete: yeah. sometimes you say the cover-up is worse than the crime. in this case that's not true. the crime is killing thousands of seniors in nursing homes. the cover-up has exposed the crime and how hard cuomo and his staff worked to cover-up these numbers. some democrats have been very forth right and been willing to call out their own party. that's always a wonderful thing to see when they will do so. one of them is ron kim and he has been on our network a few times talking about his challenge because on this issue to governor cuomo had an uncle who died in this particular situation. he just wants the numbers. now, because he won't stand with cuomo and won't put out a statement in support of what cuomo is doing. he has been threatened by the governor. here is what ron kim, democrat from new york, had to say about that phone call? >> first words that came out of his mouth was asking me if i were an honorable man. and he continued to yell and let me know that i haven't seen by his wrath and anger that he can go out tomorrow and start telling the world of how bad of a person i am and pretty much ruin and finish my career and my livelihood. it was all just part of a ploy in retrospect. in order to pressure me and scare me into issuing a statement. pete: steve, it's not just him, it's more democrats. steve: absolutely. state democratic lawmakers. a dozen supporting him. also the biggest democrat in new york city. bill de blasio is supporting him. and he says i believe, mr. kim, and he says, you know, the story that mr. kim is telling sounds familiar because i have gotten yelled at by cuomo. pretty much everybody i know in politics has gotten yelled at from cuomo members of the media have gotten yelled at by cuomo. is he a famous screamer. alec baldwin, the -- you know, a fellow. pete: what is he these days? ainsley: actor plays donald trump. steve: star of 30 rock and played donald trump on "saturday night live" across the street. alec baldwin says cuomo should resign if he threatened ron kim's career. all right. more on that a little later on. meanwhile, there are calls down in texas. some on the political left said ted cruz should resign because during this crisis down there regarding the weather. ted cruz took his family on a family get away, get away from the cold weather to cancun, mexico. and there he is at the airport he was greeted with tv cameras to explain what was going on. the more we learn apparently a couple days ago his wife had sent out a text message to friends and neighbors and said hey, we're freezing in our house, we don't have electricity. we're going to go to cancun. anybody want to go with us? somebody that she sent the text to leaked it to the media and so now, are ainsley, he has had all sorts of questions about why exactly did you leave your state during this crisis? ainsley: right. people are criticizing him saying you are a leader. you are a senator. you have criticized other people for leaving and not sticking around when there is a crisis. so, you know, they are saying it's double standard. he was on with sean hannity last night and this is what he said. >> we lost power for two days. our house was dark. we had no heat. and after a couple of days after the girls being really cold, our girls asked said can we take a trip and go somewhere warm? and heidi and i as parents we said okay, sure. and initially planned to stay through the weekend and to work remotely there but started to have second thoughts almost immediately because the crisis here in texas, you need to be here on the ground and so i returned this afternoon and i'm here working to make sure to do everything we can to get the power turned on but also fundamentally to ask the questions why was the grid not sufficiently prepared so that 4 million texans lost heat and power? we need answer that and we need to make sure it never happens again in the state of texas. pete: ted cruz has acknowledged it probably wasn't the right choice. he felt like he could take calls and monitor the situation down there and helping out his girls backfired on him and explaining it at this point. what's amazing to me is the way in which and they never miss an opportunity to expose their bias. the so-called mainstream media has covered this versus cuomo. can you criticize cruz all you want. take abc news as an example. they spent almost 4 minutes on ted cruz in the airport, okay. and less than a minute covering of the developments of cuomo, which is as you talked about, steve, a committee to potentially consider impeachment. bipartisan condemnation, now democrats coming. a threatening phone call. that makes for, you know, an entire newscast if you need to. 55 seconds. by the way, chris cuomo, who is allowed to interview his brother in times of good. steve: back in the old days. pete: is not allowed anymore. he is calling on ted cruz to resign and yet not a word about his brother who has got a scandal on his hands it. is an amazing double standard. it exposes exactly who they are. the pr department of the democrat party. they are going after ted cruz because he has been an effective consistent conservative for years. he may have made the wrong call, he acknowledges that. the media, they show who they are every time. steve: it does look a little lopsided over on abc. all right. so, lots to talk about today, including, once again, jillian with the weather. jillian: good morning, and let's begin with this. at least 40 people have died this week as severe winter weather blankets the country. the system bringing a snow ice mix to the northeast causing dangerous conditions on the roads. frozen hydrants posing challenges, huge challenges for san antonio firefighters battling this apartment complex fire. some texans using the generator from

deliberate. we can only speculate to that effect. my judgment tells me that this administration did not want to knee jerk themselves into the over the top support of israel and also to prime minister netanyahu that the trump administration had. and, recall, pete, that the obama-by deposit administration had the most strained relationship with israel for years than any president has ever had since the state was giving birth to in 1948. so and i think that whereby den is on, this i don't believe he is going to go back to that strained relationship of obama. but he certainly is not going to be as supportive as president trump was in moving the capital, recognizing the golan heights. what does that mean for the nuclear deal? well, certainly i'm convinced that netanyahu, if he hasn't had a conversation yet with the biden administration. he certainly will have on how strongly he feels about how much the table has changed, pete from, now to when they were negotiating the deal in 201 and 2015. there are crippling sanctions on the iranians that have got them back on their heels. they would have negotiated with the second trump administration to remove those sanctions and they would have had to make some significant concessions or trump would not have approved the deal. second, they have got the wind at their backs. i'm talking about the biden administration. because of the normalization of relationships with israel and the building of a broad coalition. something that would not have happened if trump had not issued the sanctions and pulled out of the deal. that convinced the arabs and the israelis that the administration had their backs. so, they have a strong hand to placement will they play it is really the issue in front of us. pete: general, you used the phrase sort of over the top or knee jerk support for israel. could it also be characterized as necessary to undo what had been undone or undo what had been done under the obama administration and create the kind of effects that it had in the region to marginalize iran which has now boxed the biden administration and probably more than they want to be. >> no. i was just using biden's interpretation of president trump's support. i believe president trump and his administration while they certainly have made mistakes like every administration, one of the strongest things they have done is their middle east policy. to stand up against the iranians, to strengthen the arabs and israeli hand. to say build a coalition that we have never seen, which is a sea change and paradigm shift. it's good news that the biden administration at least now appears to want to support this coalition, the so-called abraham accords. we will see if the actions match the rhetoric. my concern with this administration, pete, they folded with the iranians. six years ago. the same team is back. will they have the tough mindedness to negotiate a much better deal with these iranians who are very tough negotiators? it remains to be seen. whether they are going to have the stiffness in their spine to deal with this issue. pete: you have been a voice of clarity on this from the very beginning. and if it's not pallets of cash. at the very least iranians want the sanctions lifted and they know they have an eager partner on the other side and that's what they are going for. general jack keane, thank you so much for your time this morning. appreciate it? >> great talking to you, pete. have a great weekend. pete: you too. small businesses have been crippled by lockdowns and

cleaners was established in 1945. >> so you have been in business for 75 years. show me what do you around here. >> sure. this is where the customers come in. we write them up a ticket. this is where we too our professional prespotting. food stains here if you are going to get paid this week you have got to take it out. >> i'm a natural. are. >> see? yeah? once that's all done. then we take them

and smooth that is. >> i have got to get me one of those. >> yeah. look at this magic. okay? i have always wanted to push the button. >> go ahead, man. crazy, see all these empty spaces? how would it normally look before the pandemic? >> part of it is still pretty full because we have had a lot of customers don't come and pick up because they are afraid. i have tickets since pre-pandemic february of 2020. the racks are way emptier than they used to be because those people are not going into work. >> if you building is, the foundation is no good whatever you put on top of it won't last. my parent were my foundation. my father came from poland with nothing. they bought the business. my mom worked with him. the business kept growing. my wife came into it. then my boys. i have been in this

sons, we would have packed it in. >> i wasn't so much worried about myself anymore. okay? but i was worried about them. they are married. they have kids and houses they have mortgages. >> how much business did you lose right after the pandemic? >> as soon as everything just started shutting down, okay. immediately we went down 75%. it hit, i said to myself all right, you know what? this is going to last a couple weeks. the government can't let this happen to this country. memorial day, fourth of july, labor day came thought it was going to come back. nothing happened. it's like a cloud hanging over us. >> did you have to lose employees? >> we did. how do you measure who is going to go and who is going to stay? >> i got choked up. i still get choked up thinking about it because, you

going to go anywhere. >> guys, one of the misperceptions from people they think that the people that go to the cleaners are just these white collar workers. well, that's not true. the majority of the business came from blue collar workers. >> people that are considered essential and the prom industry, the wedding industry, these businesses are really going through one out of six have already gone out of business. and 30%. when it's all said and done will go out. steve: i know. i went to my local dry cleaners and talked to danny who owns the business the other day. and i apologized. because we had so little to go to the cleaners. and he said it's okay. every little bit helps. but he said until we have, you know, our society is open again, and people have some place to go. he said it would be great if people could go out to eat more. or if more people were back at work. and then more people would need the dry cleaners. but, until then, you know, businesses like his, are going to be hard hit. ainsley: lawrence, we can all relate to these stories, because we all use the dry cleaners, i remember the beginning of the pandemic i took a skirt to the dry cleaners and i needed it hemmed. he made a mask out of the portion of the fabric that he took off the bottom of the skirt and had it hanging and they just go above and beyond. i didn't ask him to do it. it was so sweet of him to do it and he didn't charge me for it. i gave him an extra tip because i feel sore for them. >> it's a tough job, guys. what i was able to do was actually go through the process. i wonder why do you charge so much, guys? now i know. i have done it myself. probably don't charge enough for the work they do. real quick, the immigrants that are legal, that work there, that came here for a better life and now some of them have to go and be laid off or find a place where they can get more money more hours, it's just so sad. i think there is a case right now when everything is all said and done, did we shut down too fast and did we shut down for far too long? pete: you are exactly right. to your point, ainsley, my dry cleaners his shop closed. folded into another one. doing at home delivery. trying

just for this school district, for the board members to be mocking the parents. we all think that the school board is out to be our children's advocate. at that school district, not so much because now everybody is calling on those people to resign. jedediah: yeah. and they should resign. imagine the reaction of parents listening to that whose tax dollars fund those institutions sitting there and, you know, being spoken to that way. now, it is incredibly indicative often sometimes what people say when they think it's private, when they think no one can hear them. and you saw the reaction that she had when it was sudden that it was public it was like oh-oh maybe consequence. a panic moment. this has been going on for a very long time. the question i get often sometimes is where is this headed? with where it's headed now you are seeing excuses come out from teacher's unions saying these schools were never safe to begin with actually. we need to look at the filtration system even precody there were issues. you may not see full in person learning for a very long time. the consequence of that. you need -- parents need to think ahead and know you are going to have massive grade inflation. you will have a massive effort to try to look like they need to cover everything up that students weren't actually falling behind when they were. the thing is, kids, parents know their kids. they have been watching this every step of the way. they know that developmentally there have been struggles. they know academically there have been struggles. they know that financially in their homes there have been struggles. so, the challenge is how do those parents -- what is their recourse, right? the privileged can pick their kids out of that school and say i'm going to send my kids to a private school or catholic school. people who are struggling cannot do that. so they are left feeling what can they do? and i don't know what that answer is going to be but it's despicable

closed. nancy pelosi was asked about vaccinations and whether teachers have to be your need to be vaccinated before going back to school and how that might be tied to funding. here's what nancy pelosi had to say about that. >> teachers should be vaccinated. i don't know that they must be vaccinated. i want everybody to be vaccinated. depending what the situation is in the area, may or may not be necessary. to be back in school, for that to happen, it takes some money. brian: teachers don't have to be vaccinated but they need more money and the pesky detail is $113 billion is still there for schools from leaf packages that have not been spent. >> and other industries of managed to come back with the vaccine. >> i have seen kamala harris. they all asked that same question and don't have an answer, the problem for the democratic administration is between a rock and a hard place, parents and one hand in teachers union which is the most lavish supporter on the other hand, they are stuck and the answer is get everybody in the country vaccinated, and in the end the interim seems to be the biden administration, they don't know what to do. what do you do? the teachers are demanding vaccination, the optimum situation or optimum solution but not enough vaccines available yet. what is going to happen is the stretching out of the process, the delay of these kids going back to school more weeks, more weeks and finally it will be summer time, and some are presumably as the president and everyone else to say everyone will be vaccinated, but because of the real politics involved here if you have a kid in public school, don't expect the kid to go back to in person learning anytime soon. a lot of that has to do with politics. steve: if your kid is not back in school now they probably won't be by the end of this year. you are absolutely right. jen psaki, the president's -- the messaging out of the white house has been a disaster but they keep pushing. the vaccine, the cdc,

strongly about schools as we heard from your soundbite. we've got something that was never supposed to be heard by the public at oakley elementary school in california. the school board was meeting via zoom and they thought it was just going to be the school board so they would talk freely. unfortunately for them it turns out a number of the members of the parent community were able to listen in and their jaws dropped as they heard the school board members making fun of the kids and their parents who wanted the schools to open. we are about to play a soundbite, what she would do to parents who commented online or wrote letters about reopening schools which if a parent complains this is what she said she would do. to them. >> if you are going to call me on i'm going to [bleep] you up. sorry, that's just me. >> they want their babysitters back. >> open to the public right now. f off. steve: then they took it off line. a school board member said i totally hear before they turned it off, i hear that because my brother had a delivery service for medical marijuana the clientele or parents put their kids in school. members of the school board think the parents are all parted up, that is why they want kids to go back to school, the teachers who are really babysitters. >> my first reaction is never talk about what's on your mind when there's an open mic unless you expect everybody to hear it because there is no such thing as a private conversation when you have an open mic. my second is theirs and arrogance there. there is a condensation, condescension there, there is a feeling of we know best and you are nothing but i urge people to picture this. here is a single mom with three kids at home and is so desperate to feed these kids that she sneaks off to go work at wendy's when there's a 6-year-old, 80 may continue back, these are real cases. there is a desperation when in many cases public school represents the anchor for those families, public school represent sometimes the only hot meal the kid gets all day. the social structure, families are built around kids going to school. that is why it has been so terribly disruptive. i don't mean to put down teachers unions but there is no doubt they are putting their constituents ahead of these vulnerable families and these children who desperately need -- a lot of these kids have lousy computers, lousy wi-fi, don't watch the virtual class at all, there is no supervised learning, they are slipping through the cracks. almost as if this year for all the talk of virtual learning and the rest of it, it is a wash. it is lost, it is gone and society is going to have to remediate this terrible grievous loss for these children. ainsley: that is the case. the kids are not learning for an entire year. >> exactly right. they are staring at screens if that and sometimes walking away, no one supervising them. it is a grim situation. kids in college, can redo it, it is bad but it is not as profoundly damaging as it is for these youngsters who go unsupervised walking around, not in school. if you want to get all this money get this money to give every kid in the country wi-fi and every kid in the country of computer that works. at least start there. brian: that might be money well spent. steve: they have more administrators to higher. brian: with all of the -- a couple hundred billion dollars they could easily by every kid in america a couple of computers. steve: billions of dollars in what is purchased with it, let's move to the middle east which you are familiar with and recall the iranian deal the administration put together included millions of dollars to the iranian regime, now the biden administration is signaling it wants to restart diplomacy with iran in the nuclear deal, iran says they want the sanctions released, instead of letting us cds nuclear sites they are restricting it to try to get sanctions relief. we know joe biden spoke to benjamin netanyahu, for the first time only a month after he became president. what do you make of the current situation of the obama team restarting nuclear deal with the obama administration? >> you and brian are on one side of this issue and i on the other. i applaud the president trump administration for their achievements in the middle east with the abraham accord that made historic peace deals between israel and the sunni arab neighbors but we have invested a lot in saudi arabia. i don't trust saudi arabia. i think the biden administration is right not to trust saudi arabia. the radical schools the turn out terrorist kids around the country, they are very selfish and did it for saudi arabia. iran is demonized. i didn't like when soleimani got taken out in the baghdad airport. you've got to give peace a chance. brian: they don't want to give peace a chance and that's the difference between the iranian people in the iranian regime, they seek the world's most dangerous weapon and are closer by the day and now they want sanctions relief a minute ministration that is desperate for a deal. it will end of the bomb, our ally in israel can't tolerate that. >> a man i know very well, i've had many meetings with

legal control over her finances and life decisions as part of a conservatorship. a decade later the overprotective finger fighting to take back control of her life and fans are rallying to free the popstar. here is nancy grace. >> good morning. we are talking about britney spears, we watched the framing -- what are your thoughts about her father's control over her life? >> i think the legal documents say it all and i believe that. baby steps are being taken, jamie spears totally removed but not that easy. it started in 2007-2008 when britney spears was in a pr crisis, when she shaved her head, people thought she was crazy and in the end nobody cared for the female popstar does it she must be crazy. you can't argue she went to rehab and a psych ward. at that time entered jamie spears, the father, got control and helped her. with the year she was performing again and very well. she got 30 plus million-a-year. long story short, in the last month dating back to 2019 there was an incident where britney spears's son, sean preston was at jamie, the father,'s house. they had an argument, the boy locked the door. reportedly the father came in and shook him. next morning the father goes to police. very quickly after that incident, a case was filed against the father and jamie spears re-signed as the conservator over britney, still in charge of her money and all her business decisions but a big break in the case, the judge in superior court just ruled over the father's objections that he has to share conservatorship over a wealth management company. that is a chip in the iran setting it up. baby steps but at some point should be 3. jillian: anytime she has -- he needs money she has to get it from her dad? >> yes. everything to do with expenditures, she goes to starbucks to forget a cup of coffee, whatever her expenditures are, a store, he is in charge. he can also control all of her business deals and who she sees, who she visits, security chain. that is a lot of control. ainsley: let's play a soundbite about the last time she felt free, when she could last arrive her car. >> went to you last feel free? >> when i got to drive my car a lot. ♪♪ >> is that

redemption, wants to give her another chance and see her reform, i would love to watch her dance. what happens next? >> her lawyer will get jamie spears as co-conservator, next he will be out and then and only then do i believe she will seek termination of conservatorship. california, she, the conservator, her father espoused a domestic partner, connected friend or relative can seek in court to end, terminate the conservatorship. nobody has done that. spears, britney spears, take her time and build up to that and be free but it is amazing to me, do you ever see any mail pop stars in this situation? know. writing her narrative herself needs to be done. i don't know she needs redemption so much as getting out of this. ainsley: so many are talking about this may be a judge will take a second look because she does deserve to be in control of her own money. thank you so much. nancy will explore the fight to free britney on her latest episode of crime stories on fox nation which will
