Jillian and im jillian mele. Is this the best day of your life, even though youre starting your day probably the earliest ever. Well have a Double Shot of espresso. Jillian youre here for todd who is on paternity leave. Lets start at the border ahead of a visit from members of the biden administration who plan to Travel To Guatemala and El Salvador today. Doug luzader joins us live from washington as the influx of migrants worsens by the day. Doug. Reporter good morning. The biden administration tried to shift the focus from the crisis at the border to the countries where many of the immigrants are coming from. Administration officials will be traveling to guatemala and El Salvador in an attempt to address the root causes of the border surge. In the near term, there is no solution in sight. We expect data for customs and Border Patrol will show that in the Month Of March alone, 171,000 immigrants were caught along the southern border. If that is the case, it is the highest monthly total in decades a. A number of shelters including one in San Diego are reaching capacity. Republican lawmakers have been raising the alarm by visiting some of the detention facilities. One senator said he was told to delete images from his phone. They are crammed in like sardines and this what is the biden administration is trying to hide from The American public which is why we took video and the biden administration tried to stop us. They needed the Border Wall that was under construction, that to be completed. They need the policies, better policies and policies that were in place before to be restored. Reporter despite the images and these shocking numbers, the biden administration has consistently maintained that the border is closed and secure. These numbers are certainly we are not naive about the challenge but what our focus is on is solutions and actions to help address the Unaccompanied Minors who are coming a across the border. And according to the Washington Post, the preliminary numbers from last month include some 19,000 unaccompanied children. Jillian and lawrence, back to you guys. Jillian those numbers are mind boggling. Doug luzader, Thank You. Former acting Dhs Secretary Chad wolf says there are no more consequences for those who enter the country illegally and cartels and smugglers are taking advantage. What we know is that the cartels and smugglers and traffickers are very sophisticated and they listen to public pronouncements and know our policies and procedures. When the biden administration starts to carve out individuals, those are the groups of individuals we start seeing at the border because thats who they go and recruit. But at the end of the day, the administration right now is not enforcing or not there is no Immigration Consequence to illegal behavior. Theyre trying to process more individuals through. Theyre not holding individuals accountable for that illegal behavior. There will be a number of policies that will need to be changed and enforced if we want to see an end to this. Well be talking to Texas Homeowner who caught this video of migrants on her porch camera. She has a message for the biden administration Coming Up in the next hour. Jillian overnight, dozens of inmates shatter windows and light fires during a Prison Riot in st. Louis, some demanding Court Hearings for their cases. We want Court Cases jillian Court Proceedings have been delayed in the city due the pandemic. Some inmates were believed to be hurt but no guards. It is the second disturbance in two months. The head of the Capitol Police Union warning the latest deadly attack could lead to an officer exodus. The chairman noted the force is struggling with staffing, adding, quote, ive had many young officers confide in me theyre actively looking to other agencies and departments right now. Officer Billy Evans died after he was rammed by a car. He was the second officer to be killed this year. The suspect was shot dead. The family told the Washington Post he believed he was mentally ill due to Head Trauma from playing football. Jillian Crews Outside of tampa are trying to plug a leak in a reservoir containing millions of gallons of Toxic Waste water. Ron De Santis declared a State Of Emergency and is preparing for the worst case scenario. What were looking at now is trying to prevent and respond to, if need be, a real catastrophic flood situation. Jillian more than 300 homes are now in the evacuation zone. Mississippi Governor Tate reeves blasts the bidens Administrations Infrastructure Plan for looking more like the green new deal. The problem with this particular plan, though, although the biden administration is calling it an infrastructure plan, it looks more like a 2 Trillion Tax Hike Plan to me. Its going to lead to americans losing significant numbers of jobs. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg is pushing back against the critics on both sides of the aisle. Watch. Independent analysis by economists last week said this will lead to 19 Million jobs. So, yes, i think this is something that everybody can get behind. Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasiocortez and Senator Bernie sanders want more to be done. Georgia businesses under pressure after major League Baseball pulls the allstar game from atlanta in protest of the states new T Voting laws, activists calling on other companies to follow their lead. Jillian Ashley Strohmier is here with the latest. Good morning. President bidens economic advisor admitted Georgia Workers will feel the pain from the Mlbs Decision but said the league has the right to do it. There is undoubtedly going to be a cost. I think that was the point that the major League Baseball was trying to make. These companies have the opportunity to vote with their feet and theyre using their economic power to express their dissatisfaction. The mlb announced friday it would pull the game, blasting the states restrictions on voting. Govern for Brian Kemp refused to back down, accusing the league and other companies of saving. Stacy abrams says she doesnt think its necessary yet. Ilhan omar disagrees. Boycotts allowed for justice to be delivered in many spaces, the civil Rights Movement was rooted in boycotts. So our hope is that this boycott will result in changes in the law. President biden said he would strongly support the mlb of moving the game. Chris christie says hes breaking his promise to unite the nation. I sat here and listened to the president s inaugural address. A couple real quick points. Politics need not be a raging fire that destroys everything in its path and we must reject culture where facts are manipulated or made up and Joe Biden broke his own rule. Hes lying about this bill, lying to cause the raging fire that he said he would put out. The league has not announced a new venue for the game but former Mlb Player Dan Vinezio will give us his thoughts on the move later this hour. Back to you guys. Thanks, ashley.

George bush so, we urge you to get vaccinated when its available to you. Barack obama thats the first step to ending the pandemic and moving our country forward. Its up to you. This is both a humanitarian crisis and a national Security Crisis. Easiest way to get into the united States Today is to do it illegally. You dont have to show proof of Anything And Theyll allow you into the country. That is the biden policy many you talk to Border Patrol agents, they will tell you their job got a lot harder when Joe Biden became president. Lawrence republicans sounding the alarms as Deportations Plunge under president biden. His policies limited border Agents Ability to make arrest as theyre occupied. Jillian what message does it send to criminals trying to get into the country. Lets ask retired i. C. E. Director, ron vitello. Thank you for being here. Border apprehensions have reached the highest number in at least 15 years. That is selfexplanatory. When you have the numbers weve seen, when you have Border Patrol and everybody at the border is preoccupied with whats going on, makes you wonder what else could happen as a result of this. This chaos is not good for anybody. Its the worst for the workforce and their families. Imagine coming to work every day and there are thousands of people waiting for your attention. You work an entire shift, you work 10 hours to meet that need and then you go home and you come back and theres thousands of more people that have entered the country illegally, Unaccompanied Minors, families with children, and so its not a good situation. Its not even good for the migrants themselves, right. In that pipeline, they face many dangers. Theyre exploited by corrupt governments, exploited by cartels and theyre in a dangerous situation. Were coming into the summer months where its going to be much more difficult to cross the border because of the arduous Terrain And Weather situations theyre going to face and so its not good for anybody, when we have this chaotic scenario and with many Border Patrol agents are distracted by caring for families and children, that means the cartels have another advantage in the fact that Theres Nobody out there guarding the line for us. The only people that are benefiting from this are criminal cartels. Lawrence ive got to ask, because when i talk to my sources in the past administration had they say, look, we warned the biden administration that this was the potential if they were to get rid of the policies. I think a lot of americans that are watching, they want to know what needs to happen right now. Is it too late to reimplement those Trump Administration policies to get this situation under control . Every surge that weve had at the border, from 2006 forward to 2014, 2018 and 2019, they were started because theres a lack of consequence. People were crossing the border. They were being released in the united states. Thats whats happening now. Every surge has been abated by stopping that scenario. By showing that crush of humanity, if you are going to come into custody, were going to give you Due Process and were going to remove you while youre in custody. That ended under the last surge, it was stopped because of cooperation with mexico and the northern triangle. Those policies have been reversed. They can be reinstituted and you could lessen this surge as well but it doesnt seem like thats where we want to go. Were adding Shelter Space and the Hhs Side but its not sufficient enough to stop whats going on at Border Patrol stations at the immediate border because Border Patrol doesnt have a choice here. They have to take the people into custody, put them into the system and transfer them to hhs. If theres no space for them at hhs, then theyre stuck with it until that Shelter Space is advanced and so i urge congress to act to give them resources to increase the Shelter Capacity and also congress could work to effectively end this Catch And Release policy by changing the way the law is operational aized. Jillian you talk about the lack of Shelter Space and want congress to act, the pentagon okayed the third Military Base to house migrant children amid this surge. If we pull up, you can see where those Military Bases have been approved. That is Camp Roberts in california, Fort Bliss and San Santonio in texas. Lets take a listen to what Chad Wolf has to say, the former acting Dhs Secretary on Sunday Morning futures. The take a listen. We will see historic numbers of minors coming into the country over the next several months because of the biden administrations specific measure not to employ that public Health Order for minors. Theyre even turning around minors back to mexico. They will not turn around minors to the northern triangle, put them on planes and reunite them with families which is what we did during the trump add menstruation. Jillian what administration. Jillian what do you think of that. We now have three Military Bases approved for some of these minors. Im glad theyre adding Shelter Space. Its insufficient. But the main point, we had policies in place before the 21st Of January that allowed us to repatriate Unaccompanied Minors in cooperation with their Home Governments back home. Once that ended youre effectively telling anybody that brings a child or sends their child to the Border Unayou companied that were going to let them in. And the surge in 2014 which was called a humanitarian crisis, were seeing five times that number of unaccompanied children coming into the u. S. Right now and most of those kids that came in in 2014 are still in the united states and so youre effectively enticing or encouraging people to send their child to the border because were welcoming them. Were bringing them in and reuniting them with family here in the states versus sending them back home. Jillian ron, Thank You. At the beginning of our segment i called you the Border Patrol chief. You are the former Border Patrol chief. So unless anything has changed, i want to Thank You. Jillian Thank You. Coming up, california teens can go to an Amusement Park but cant go back to the classroom. Lawrence parents are more fed up than ever, including our next guest who says she cant believe she took her kids to disneyland before taking them back to school. Well talk about that. Its been a long time coming, coming seeming like we all been running, running feeling like the wild west, gunning, gunning listen to our elders shunning, shunning all we see is faces, color, color all the other races, other, other why cant you just be my brother, brother . We dont have to kill one another, kill one another all around the world, we are one, we are one all around the world, we are one so where did we all go wrong . Woo where did we all, where did we all go wrong . Love, love, love, Love Love, love, Love Love is our only hope love, love, love where did we all . Jillian welcome back. Students have spent more than a year without Inperson Learning in california. But the Los Angeles Teachers Union says unless educators get Child Care, theyll insist on working from home. What about the parents who have had to step in to essentially Home School their kids . Jay any black phillips is a Kindergarten Teacher and mother of two from california and joins me now. Jamie, thanks for being here. Good to see you this morning. Thank you for having me. Jillian heres the quote from the Los Angeles Teachers Union. It reads we call on lusc to stand by a commitment to get through the crisis together. Accommodations for working parents and caregivers are essential to ensuring that we retain employees. What do you think about this . Is this a new demand . And you as a teacher, have you ever been fortunate enough to receive something like this Child Care . Well, you know, Thank You for me on and id like to say the discussion about Child Care for educator is not a new one, something that was discussed prior to covid19. I believe this is a layered demand being kind of Slathered On by Teachers Unions, taking advantage of the moment, in my opinion. And i am a working mom. I have had to pay for Child Care myself and id like to mention that i currently have students are that in Child Care, parents are paying for while they are logging into my class for distance learning. So while theyre paying taxes for schools that are currently shuttered, they are also being asked to pay for a Child Care situation in order for their children to be able to attend school and parents to be able to work. Jillian im sure that parents and both working moms and dads across the country would love to have Child Care as part of the deal but unfortunately a lot of people dont get that. As you talk about n have to pay for it outofpocket themselves. Lets pull up the demands for teachers to return to class, this includes defunding the police, Housing Security for students, requiring businesses to expand paid sick leave, restricting publicly funded Charter Schools and financial support for undocumented students. Would any of these demands make returning to the classroom safer for students or teachers right now. Absolutely not. I think its absolutely shameful. Im an educator myself, im proeducator. However, i am able to recognize the fact that some of these demands that Teachers Unions are making including the Teachers Union here in fremont have nothing to do with why we left the classroom in the first place last march. It shouldnt be part of a negotiation for us to return to the classroom right now. Thats my take on it. Jillian as someone who has two boys, Tenth Grade and seventh grade, whats been the biggest struggle for you as someone who on one hand is a parent of two boys trying to make sure that theyre okay, trying to make sure theyre okay when it comes to their education, when it comes to socialization and also still deal with the demands of what you have to as a Kindergarten Teacher. Right. Well, we have a relatively small home and we have all been working and learning from home for the past year. And its been quite a challenge. My sons spend a majority of their time each day in their rooms. They they are socially isolated. The opportunities for socialization just arent there. So its been hard. Weve noticed a change in their moods, we noticed a change in their Motivation And Learning loss of course and our primary concern, which is their Mental Health overall. So just like i worry about my students, i worry about my own children, of course, and i think its absolutely essential we get them back in the classroom this school year. Jillian jamie, Thank You very much for joining us, shining some light. We appreciate it. Have a good day. Absolutely. Thank you so much. Jillian lawrence. Lawrence big story, after the break its the story The Media worked hard to bury and now Hunter Biden is a addressing his Laptop Scandal in his own words. What hes admitting in a brandnew interview. Plus, former President Trumps appeal with latino voters may have been more widespread than we originally thought. Our next guest breaks down what the democrats missed about a key voting block. Riku was born in 2014. He was diagnosed at the age of 3 with medulloblastoma. There was a mass. We were debating whether to watch closely, or do the surgery to take it out and see what it is. So, we decided to go for surgery. After the surgery, they told us mom, its a medulloblastoma. Its an aggressive type of cancer and we need to treat him right away. they said for medulloblastoma, st. Jude is the worlds best. before anything happened, he liked going outside, going to playground with his daddy. Hes my son, but at the same time, hes my best friend. I always said so, you are strong, you are very brave, so you can fight. families never receive a bill from st. Jude for treatment, travel, Housing Or Food because all they should worry about is helping their child live. Ive never heard of any hospital not charging patients. Thats the greatest part of st. Jude. I am very grateful that people consider enough to sacrifice their life to donate. Thats really amazing. Jillian good morning. Welcome back. A member of president Bidens Covid19 Transition Advisory Board is warning about a fourth wave of infections due to new variants. The take a listen. I believe we are. And i believe that in some ways were almost in a new pandemic. The only good news is that the current vaccines are effective against this particular variant. Jillian one of dr. Michael osterhomes concerns is the variant appears to be spreading among children. He says right now the focus needs to be getting through the next two to three months. And now to this. Hunter bidens laptop is once again making headlines after the president s son addressed the story in a new interview. Was that your laptop. For real, i dont know. I know. I really dont know is the answer. Jillian hunter saying the laptop could be his, months after the new York Post bombshell was dismissed as Russian Disinformation by The Media and big Tech And Journalist Glenn Greenwald is sounding off on The Medias coverage, after the laptop and questions about foreign Business Deals were downplayed once again. So if they want to focus on his addiction problems, i support Hunter Biden and anyone else struggling with addiction. The real story was Corruption And Influence peddling in countries in which Joe Biden, then the Vice President , had a lot of Influence And Power and we shouldnt let anyone distract from what the real story was. Jillian Hunter Biden says hes confident he will be cleared from any wrong doing in the department of Justice Probe into his finances. Lawrence. Lawrence I Cant wait to see what comes of that. Its no secret, former President Trump and the republican party won big with latino voters in 2020. New research revealed the extent of the momentum and what could it mean for 2022 and beyond. Here to discuss the host of the latino conservative podcast, andrew alvarez. Andrew, what did the republican party and President Trump do right . Really and truly, my opinion, and i talked about this quite extensively, is even though President Trump might have been a little abray sieve at some point in time, he was real. Youre a Texas Guy like me. You know theres that whole real aspect. Youve got to be real and honest and genuine and thats the vibe, thats the feeling that we got from him. Texas also relies heavily on the Oil Industry and Donald Trump was backing that 100 . Jillian what about that strategy, though lawrence what about that strategy for latino voters. What are the issues that matter most to your community and why was there such a significant change . I mean, im looking at miamidade, it was Plus 120 with the cuban population and the latino population. Tell me a little about this. Theres a few things that we want when it comes to who were choosing, just in life in general, latinos really were hard workers. We want to make sure we have a job to go to and when Donald Trump as soon as he took office, the Unemployment Rate went straight down for the latino population. Other things we want, we want safety and security. I cant tell you the stories that i heard and i saw physically whenever i was in mission, texas and mcallen, texas. People move their entire houses because of some of the policies that happened during the Obama Era that drew the cartels over and were harassing homeowners there so they moved their entire house. We want leaders. We definitely want real leaders. Leaders only tell what you to do but leaders protect you. On one hand, youve got Donald Trump over here, a president that just hes making great accomplishments with china, with russia, with north korea. Then youve got china over here calling us out on our own land now. Then youve got kim Jong Un doing his old stuff again and Vladimir Putin out there basically calling us out, calling Joe Biden out and thats not what were looking for in a leader. All these other countries, they respected Donald Trump because you had some power. Lawrence you focus a lot on Donald Trump but going forward is there another republican that can capture that same momentum . Because i see the same thing when you look at black voters as well, Donald Trump was able to get a larger portion, not quite as much as the latino vote. He was definitely more effective with that strategy. I saw it on the ground while in florida, the shift in the population. When i talk with people, they always say the Man Trump not the republican party, so what is the future of the republican party . I really truly i would like to see this. I would love to see Ted Cruz make a run for it again. Some of the stuff that hes done lately, just being an advocate for the people, putting his voice out there, making sure that we are taken care of as well and hes not only just doing that for texas, but hes doing that for the nation as well and a his recent trip down to the border to expose what some of Joe Bidens policies are doing, its real eyeopening. I think people on both sides can see that. I mean, if you fail to see that, you have the kentucky horse planters, what i call it. Lawrence andrew, Thank You so much. And tell my folks in texas i said hello. I appreciate you coming on the program. Oh, i will. You have a good one. Lawrence you too. Jillian. Jillian in a fox news exclusive, we are learning what a missing California Mother allegedly said to family before vanishing. Maya milietay was last seen january 7th, the same day she made an appointment with a divorce attorney. A Family Member said she said, quote, if anything happened to me it would be larry. The Family Member referring to her husband. The suspect has been identified and detectives are falling all leads. At least six people are killed in chicago after another weekend of gun violence. Police say at least 34 people were injured across the city including one man shot 14 times in the chest during an argument. He did not survive. According to the Chicago Tribune there, were 706 shooting victims through march. A 43 increase from last year. A mob of vandals light a fire outside the Police Association Building in portland, oregon. Police say 40 people gathered outside headquarters, leaving behind burning Debris And Anticop graffiti saturday night. Police sharing this photo of the words, quote, Nazis Work here sprayed on the wall. No arrests were made. Meanwhile, a Portland School is weighing whether having a tree as a mascot is racist. The High School was on track to change their mascot to the evergreens but the vote was postponed over concerns about potential connotations of lynching. A vote is set for next tuesday. The High School was just renamed to honor a famous black journalist. It was originally named after president woodrow wilson. Today, the u. K. Will roll out new guidelines for Vaccine Passports. But here in the u. S. , critics say a vaccine should never been your ticket to a normal life. The latest on the heated debate. And im looking for the sky to save me. Looking for a sign of Lawrence Welcome back. The pentagon is on alert amid russias increased display of military force.

Jillian jordan Armed Forces arrested 20 people in a plot to overthrow the king. Among those under investigation including the former Crown Prince of jordan. The government is accusing him of destabilizing Jordans Security and being part of a failed palace coup. He denied all involvement. He has been placed on house arrest. Lawrence today the united kingdom will release guidelines for a temporary Covid19 Vaccine Passport program to attend mass audience events. Jillian this as skepticism rises here in the u. S. Amy kellogg joins us with the details. Amy, good morning. Hi, jillian. Hi, lawrence. Yes, the whole issue really is a political hot potato and its likely to get more heated with democrats praising president Bidens Vaccine Rollout and republicans pushing back against a big Brother State if Vaccine Passports become a tool in the fight to contain the pandemic here in the united states. The u. K. Looks set to roll out some sort of vaccine passporting system. They prefer to call it, quote, covid status certification. That will likely be used for things like Comedy Clubs and sporting events. They stressed proof of vaccination is not likely to be required to enter a pub or store. Critics call the whole idea illliberal. Proponent are stressing its temporary. In israel a Pass System for the immunized has been rolled out and there have been a few Court Cases already. You are asked whether you have the pass downloaded from an app when you book a table in a restaurant. The governors of certain states spoke out Againsts Vaccine passports, florida, missouri, mississippi. New Yorks Player Bill De Blasio said hes open to some sort of Passport System for New Yorkers. However, the debate really just does continue to rage internationally as people figure out the best way to get everyone back to a normal life and businesses back on their feet safely and respecting civil liberties. Back to you. Jillian its such an interesting conversation. Amy kellogg live for us. Thank you. Lawrence complicated matter right there. The libertarian cant do. Dr. Wolf says Vaccine Passports could give private industries the power to discriminate against americans who arent vaccinated. The biden administration seems to be back peddling a bit in a waffly way and saying now its not the government thats going to impose these Vaccine Passports, even though they rolled it out before the Outrage And Distress that followed the announcement. At least from our quarters. And also they said were going to leave it to the private industry, to the private sector to do that which is completely ill legal. Its against as i sail last time The Americans with disabilities act, against the first amendment, the fourth amendment. Its like saying well just let private industry discriminate against americans based on biological characteristics which was exactly what Nazi Germany did. Jillian meanwhile, Pop Star Mariah Carey hitting a very High Note for her vaccine.

Cob county in georgia predicts they will lose 100 Million in revenue now that major League Baseball moved the allstar game out of atlanta. The leagues boycotting new Voting Laws requiring voter id. The organization itself requires guests to bring id to pick up tickets at will call. Dan venezia is a former pro Baseball Player and joins me now. Its good to have you here this morning. Thanks for waking up early for us. Thank you, jillian, lawrence, its my pleasure. Jillian lets go ahead and pull up this quote as the mlb moves the allstar game out of georgia. It reads they supporT Voting rights for all americans. Fair access to voting continues to have our games unwavering support. The move is praised and criticized, depending on what side of this youre on. Tell me your opinion. Well, we need voter we need to show our id for everything in this world, to get on airplane and certainly to even pick up tickets at a major League Baseball game. So why is this a bipartisan it should be bipartisan. Why is this an issue . Showing your id is important to make sure that these elections are secure, theyre accessible and theyre fair and i think this new bill expands voter accessibility, actually, and its unfortunate but we should be coming together on this. People need to get out and get to baseball games after the long, tough year that weve had and baseball should just stick to baseball and let the politicians do their thing and we get to vote at the ballots and thats how we make our voices heard. Jillian speaking of politicians doing their thing, lets pull up this tweet from chuck schumer, inviting the game to New York. It reads, quote, racist Voter Suppression laws are hurting georgias voters and economy. Georgia runs should be ashamed. We would welcome mlb to play the game in New York we work to make it easier, not harder to vote. If we pull up the differences between georgia and new York Voting rules, youll see theyre quite similar. Obviously there are differences. In georgia they have 17 days of early voting, in New York there are nine. Both have sort of similar rules when it comes to passing out food and water. In georgia, they require a valid id to vote by mail. In New York, obviously they dont require that id to vote. But they require id to register the to vote in federal elections. Georgia allows no excuse to vote by mail. Mlbs headquarters are in manhattan, the Hall Of Fame is in cooperstown. Theres a lot in New York and New York still has restrictions when it comes to voting as all states do. What do you think about that . Well, again, i think that these businesses in georgia are being hurt. Small businesses across the country have suffered this year greatly because of this pandemic. I know firsthand my business was hurt. I actually got the disease a year ago. And i think we need to make sure that we come together on this and this is just driving a further divide between us. Baseball should stick to what they do best and the they are not taking a moral high ground here. During that epidemic, the Steroid Epidemic years ago, Home Runs were being hit, people were waiting in long lines to get into the stadiums and the Bottom Line wasnt hurt. All of a sudden were going to pull a game out. I think we need to come together as a country and baseball, we should be arguing what team is the best and work together for sure. Jillian yeah, i agree. A lot of people want to be able to go watch the sports and get back to life as normal, hitting the stands and enjoy the time but its become so political. Especially the kids. Jillian especially the kids. Youre right. You mentioned how you were hit with covid19. It was one year ago, you were admitted to the hospital.
