Election system. Republicans call it enemy number one. Thats where we start. Good morning on tuesday. Im bill hemmer. Dana your friend number one. Im dana perino, this is americas newsroom. Gas issue. Is it necessary . If you cant get gas its an emergency. Right about that. It hasnt been resolved and a big story today. Well be back in a moment. Dana the Senate Rules Committee set to battle it out over one of the democrats Top Priorities an hour from now as republicanled state legislatures push their own bills. Democrats say they are meant to restrict access to the polls. Lets begin with Chief Washington correspondent mike emanuel. Hi, mike. Quite a fight ahead of this bill labeled s1. Top priority. The hearing will feature Chuck Schumer and republican leader Mitch Mcconnell. Quite rare. The two did it back on march 24th t. Previous time was seven years ago in a fight over campaign finance. Schumer and Mcconnell Will Square Off Again today as senators prepare the democrats controversial voting bill for action on the floor. The appearance of the top leaders emphasizes the importance of this fight to both sides. Schumer offered a preview late in the day yesterday on the senate floor. There is no reason our two parties cant Work Together on s1. The legislation has already been updated and improved. It now includes input from Election Officials across the country, including republican Election Officials. Im sure well see additional amendments at the markup. Republicans are fired up to fight the bill arguing it tramples on State Control of elections mandated by the constitution. They argue it increases the potential for fraud in our elections and tips the scales towards democrats. I think i disagree with every single word in hr1 including the words but, and, and the. Everything about this bill is wrong to the core. It is written in hell by the devil himself. Bill republicans say they want all legal voters to have the opportunity to vote but maintain each and every state should decide how to register voters and that given the power to washington would be very bad for fairness of our elections. A version of this bill passed the house with zero republican votes. Schumer is promising to bring the bill to the floor for a senate vote in the coming weeks. Dana. Dana thank you. Bill lets get Reaction Straightaway from texas senator ted cruz member of the rules committee in the hearing today. Good morning. You have a lot to say about this. I guess as a preface to the argument here the filibuster is still intact and also you have the question about states rights and whether it could become a court issue, ultimately the u. S. Supreme court and where it could go. How do you see this debate playing out today . Lets begin there. I think this is a single most dangerous piece of legislation before the United States congress. If you look at this radical democratic majority they have really two sets of priorities. One is bad policy. Things like very high taxes, very high regulations, open borders. Pushing that on every front. The second and their broader objective is to rig the system. They have a whole bunch of dramatic reforms designed to stay in power forever. Things like adding the District Of Columbia as a state so they get two more democratic senators. Packing the u. S. Supreme court to add four left wing justices. S1. The number one bill Chuck Schumer has as a priority in the senate. Many are calling it the corrupt politicians act. It federalizes elections and strikes down virtually every Voter Integrity Law that has been adopted at the state level. For example, 29 states require identification to vote. A common sense position that over 70 of americans support. What does the corrupt politicians act do . Repeals every one of those laws and strikes them down. 31 states prohibit Ballot Harvesting. The corrupt practice of paying operatives to collect other peoples votes. The reason it is prohibited in 31 states is because it is repeatedly leant itself to fraud as unscrupulous operatives throw away votes they dont like. What does the act do . Strikes down every one of those and mandates Ballot Harvesting across this country. This bill would automatically registered millions of illegal aliens to vote and millions of felons and criminals to vote and the reason the democrats want to do it is that they believe reasonably, i think, that millions of illegal aliens and millions of Felons Voting are likely to vote democrat and their objective is to rig the game and stay in power for the next 100 years and take the power away from the american voters. Dana there is a map of the states that have already passed Voting Rights legislation from arizona and arkansas all the way to montana, utah, wyoming. Your critics would say many of these states are passing these bills because of false accusations of voter fraud from the 2020 election that are continuing to be perpetuated and the democrats would say we have to do this at the federal level because they have to try to protect the election somehow. Thats their position. How do you respond to that . It feels like until that issue is resolved this debate is going to rage. Look, i think sit a strange Talking Point that the democrats adopted and corrupt media adopted that says voter fraud doesnt exist. It is strange because voter fraud has existed from the beginning of our this has been a problem over and over again. Anyone remember cook county and jfk in 1960 . This has been a problem for 200 years and it is not just me saying it. It is the United StatesSupreme Court court 63 in the decision upholding indianas voter i. D. Law, a law that i helped defend on behalf of a number of states and we won 63. Supreme court said voter fraud is a persistent problem that occurred over and over again. But democrats have adopted the bizarre Talking Point that is essentially ostrich stick your head in the sand and doesnt exist but it is worse than that. The last major by Part Shan Examination of voter fraud chaired by jimmy carter and james baker. The Carter Baker Commission concluded that voter fraud is a serious and persistent problem that changed the outcome in numerous election and recommended a host of reforms to prevent voter fraud. Things like requiring photo i. D. What does the corrupt politicians act do . Does the opposite of the recommendations from the Carter Baker Commission. In fact, it takes areas where the Carter Baker Commission said are most likely to cause fraud, things like mailin voting and Ballot Harvesting and it mandates them universally. Dana, i operate from the assumption that people intend the natural consequences of what they do. In this instance the democrats intend there to be substantially more voter fraud because they believe voter fraud benefits them in elections. Bill sound like a great debate. Hard to see how it becomes law under the current construct but well see. It all depends on the filibuster and whether joe manchin and Kyrsten Sinema hold the line. 48 democrats are willing to end the filibuster. Manchin and sinema fold it will pass the act designed to prevent voters to being able to vote out Chuck Schumer or nancy pelosi for the next 100 years. Bill were out of time. Appreciate yours. That debate begins at 10 00 a. M. Chuck shierm and Mitch Mcconnell will participate which isnt so common. Senator, thank you for coming on today. With regard to sinema and manchin theyve held the line so far on filibusters. Dana people forget about senator mark kelly from arizona. He doesnt talk that much but he should always be asked about this. He is i think he would probably end up, i believe, if he wants to keep his senate seat, where they are, i think. Bill watching that. Dana fox news getting a look at the southern border as migrants make the dangerous trip across the rio grande river. For many the journey has taken its toll. We have reports from the scene. Why did you decide to come here . I want security. Thats what i want. I want security for my family. I want security. I want to have a life. Dana were back the del rio this morning. What can you tell us today, bill . Good morning to you. Every single morning weve been near del rio like clockwork weve witnessed large groups of migrants walk across the rio grande behind us and come into the United States here. Theyve seen a huge surge of activity here. This morning weve got some brandnew video to show you from right here in del rio sector that really highlights how bad this problem is getting. Heart wrenching video. What you are looking at is video 30 minutes south of us near eagle pass. Five little girls abandoned sunday morning. Human smugglers brought them adross rio grande and left them in the desert on a farmers ranch. These girls are very young. The youngest is only 11 months old. Couldnt even walk. Was crawling. The oldest only 7 years old. It was three honduran girls and two girls from guatemala. We talked to the rancher who found these girls. He thought one was dead because she was so dehydrated. This highlights how horrible this problem is. It was sunday, very hot out here, 103 degrees. Thank god this farmer was able to find these little girls. Border patrol ended up responding and took the girls into custody and took them back to the station. They did not have to go to the hospital or have any medical attention. They will be transferred to hhs custody. Were talking about how significant the activity has been here in del rio when you pull up this video. What we were showing live on the air yesterday. We were live as this Massive Group of migrants came across the rio grande behind us. A group of 52 people from venezuela. The Biggest Group in our four days. Walked across the rio. Many with little kids. Came across, you heard at the top of the show there many telling us they wanted a better life here. They want security for their families. Some of them very emotional. We had a chance to talk to Border Patrols number twoman yesterday. Ortiz about the struggles they face in the sector. The coyotes are purposely trying to distract them by bringing the migrants here. Take a listen. These organizations know they tie up Border Patrol agents and Law Enforcement partners they can Traffic Narcotics and folks that are really trying to evade apprehension in other locations. Have they been successful. Of course they have. Yes. And sometime today Border Patrol is expected to release new numbers for apprehensions during the entire month of april and i talked to Deputy Chief Ortiz yesterday and he said expect some big time numbers coming out of del rio sector. He wouldnt be surprised if the numbers pushed 25,000 apprehensions for the month of april. You do the math on that and over 5,000 apprehensions a week. Coming up later this morning well have an interview with the rancher who found those five migrant girls. Well send it back to you. Dana thank you, bill. Bill watching the reporter yesterday surprised to hear so many are from venezuela and cuba. Two countries mentioned. Primarily the northern triangle countries. Interesting development. Dana the video yesterday as he was live as the camera for reasons there were so many in capturing then. Bill what he reported on sunday they apprehended 900 people at that spot in one day. I mean, if you are going to argue the border is protected, this is clear evidence that the border is wide open in places. Dana the story of those little girls. Interesting to hear from the rancher. Bill california now the governor there announcing a major giveaway to voters only days before they decide if he should be recalled and the enormous surplus that california has turned up 75 billion in the plus column. Wow. Plus there is this. Roll it. President biden Anyone Collecting Unemployment who is offered a suitable job must take the job or lose their Unemployment Benefits. Dana one day after the Biden Administration said extra Unemployment Benefits are not hurting our economy the president has a very different message for those who are getting the cash. Bill in case you missed it fox news and Martha Maccallum challenging the head of one of americas biggest teachers unions about our nations kid being taught the country is fundamentally racist.

[narrator] at walmart, target and other fine stores. Dana the if da giving the okay to the Pfizer Covid Vaccine for teenagers between the ages of 12 and 15. One step closer to having students back in the classroom. Lets bring in dr. Nicole saphier. Is this true . We all say we want kids back in classroom. The majority of us do. Now this opportunity for teenagers to be vaccinated obviously conversations will be had between parents and teens and doctors. How do you see it . Dana, i dont believe that adolescent and Young Children vaccines should have should be a prerequisite for getting it back in school and the cdc didnt recommend that or recommend that teachers needed to be vaccinated to get kids in school. It out weighs the risk of covid19 in these populations. Children should be back in school regardless of Vaccination Status Starting in september. That being said it is important that a safe efficacious vaccine be available for certain children as children do not go unharmed by this virus. Of course, they are at much lower risk than adults but some children of higher risk as well as children who live in highrisk individuals. Dana i want to ask you also about this. The cdc put out some language guidance that said that less than 10 of Covid Transmissions happen outdoors. That might be true. Actually its also less than 1 of transmissions happen outdoors. Are they just the cdc continues to confound with the way that it is communicating to the public. I can tell you that less than 10 number the cdc is quoting comes from a somewhat flawed study out of singapore where they include outdoor transmission to be a mix of indoor and outdoor transition. In reality based on other studies the actual Transmission Rate from outdoors is less than 1 and some people are quoting less than. 1 . We know the outdoor transmission of this virus is negligible outside of the settings in some very limited super spreading events. The cdc needs to break through the minutia of current recommendations and simplify it. Outdoor transmission outside is negligible. Facemasks indoors are starting to become extremely less necessary as our Vaccination Rates increase and cases further decline. Dana i want to ask you about this. I know one of your areas of expertise. Thats the possible breakthrough for a vaccine for breast cancer. The stats quickly in terms of how many women develop breast cancer. 30 in your lifetime and 81,000 new cases will be diagnosed this year alone of breast cancer. What do you hear about a possible vaccine. Is there hope there . Breast cancer is the second most diagnosed cancer of all women. Most people know someone diagnosed that. Through Early Detection and improved treatment weve had a 40 reduction in death rates. We used to weve moved to immunotherapy increasing survival in nonbreast melanoma and working on vaccines utilizing the patients own immune cells to fight the cancer themselves. We continue to just blow my mind when it comes to some of these treatments and all i can say is im so proud of scientists and researchers to really continue to put forth some of the most amazing technology. Dana it is really exciting to think about. Theyll be careful and do the studies and tests. Well keep in touch with you on that dr. Saphier. Bill very important stories there. Meantime california now, the governor Gaffe Innewsom proposing stimulus checks to millions of those in his state given out right before Voters Decide whether or not he should be recalled. Golden state is expected to have a 75 Billion Dollar surplus in the federal government is still going to issue up to 25 billion more. Do i have the math right . William la jeunesse live in l. A. Good morning. Good morning, bill. Robin hood has nothing on gavin newsom who said Yesterday 2 3 of State Residents get a rebate. Some more than 1100 each including Illegal Immigrants and those earning up to 75 grand a year. 12 billion in direct tax rebate. The largest yearoveryear tax rebate thats ever been provided if any state in american history. Because most of our revenue comes from the wealthiest, were talking top 1 wealth in this state is what provides much of the revenue. Plus Capital Gains from the high, high stock market. Californians will ring in money. The 76 billion surplus, plus another 27 billion in federal covid aid allowing it to pay 100 of back Rental Payments for those who didnt pay the landlord, another 2 billion to covered unpaid utility bills. Anyone earning less than 75,000 receives 600 and another 500 if they have a child. Money isnt free but it might feel that way. Half the states income tax comes from the top 1 largely a Capital Gains tax on the wealthy who pay a 13 state income tax. Taking from the rich, giving to the poor and middle class, gavin facing a recall. Voters will receive the ballot not long after getting their check. It does look funny. I think people i do think people will see this as somewhat of a transparent effort to buy support for the governor. Democrats in sacramento want more. They want to raise the states top tax rate to 17 and impose a 1 wealth tax. Right now it appears the state has more than enough money. Bill rolling in money. Thank you, sir, live in l. A. It wasnt too long ago republicans were arguing lets wait. Lets see what the states have before we start doling out billions and billions of dollars more. Now they look like they were right in lot of these cases like california there. Dana frustrating to be right all the time. The largest ransomware attack. Is President Biden on the ball enough to keep them in check. When the american president is weak that empowers all the bad guys and you see that happening every day on the world stage.

Dana North Carolina declaring a State Of Emergency as southeastern states deal with long gas lines and Fuel Shortages on the heels of the worst Pipeline Cyberattack in the nations history. Lucas tomlinson is outside of the one facilities in fairfax, virginia. Good morning. Good morning, dana. Standing outside a Colonial Pipeline fuel plant outside the Nations Capital in northern virginia. So far the impact has been fairly minimal. 6 of virginias gas stations have run out of fuel. So far the nations airlines impact has been minimal. Some are adding stops to get fuel other than the east coast. American airlines said currently were experiencing minimal operational impacts due to the Fuel Supply Shortage on the east coast with two daily long haul flights are impacted as a result. Closely monitoring the situation and working around the clock to ensure we have adequate supply of fuel across the network. Fuel trucks coming in and out of here. Fuel is being moved. Colonial hopes to restore the service by the end of this week and it supplies half the fuel to the east coast. If it goes longer than that fuel prices will be affected analysts say. So far prices have raised a few cents in virginia. President biden set up a task force to protect the electrical grid in his first 100 days. Last year people warned pipelines could be hit by cyber criminals. The russian Cyber Group Darkside is to blame. President biden i will be meeting with President Putin and so far there is no evidence based on from our intelligence people that russia is involved. Although there is evidence that the actors is in russia. They have some responsibility to deal with this. Former senior dhs officials talking about darkside said it is a criminal organization based in russia. Let me be clear. Such criminal organizations cannot operate from within russia without at least a as the yit approval of the Intelligent Services or moscow leadership. Russia is russia. Many lawmakers want to see protecting this infrastructure. These pipelines from cyberhacks like we just saw from Colonial Pipeline added to President Bidens massive infrastructure bill. Dana thank you, appreciate it. Bill extraordinary story. I dont think a lot of people realize there was one pipeline that supplied just about half of the fuel for the entire east coast of the United States. Dana and five states in the Southeast Gas Demand rose 40 just yesterday. The other thing is this Darkside Group has never attacked any company within a former soviet block country. Bill clues there, right . Dana i think so. Even i can pick up on that. Bill right on. This also from yesterday. Roll this. We are going to make it clear Anyone Collecting Unemployment who is offered a suitable job must take the job or lose their Unemployment Benefits. Bill there is the president giving an ultimatum as businesses have a worker shortage. Perez is the owner of bread and honey house in phoenix. It sounds great, chef. Good morning. I know you have had people accept offers only they dont show up for work. What is your story and what have you found out there . Good morning, yeah, its been a hard road to recovery here. I think a lot of independent restaurants are facing the struggles of finding employees. I think the pandemic. Unemployment is a good thing for those that need it and those who cant find a job. For those that are getting offered jobs they should come back. Come back to work. Bill so they are saying if you make less than 32,000 a year, other people say that number is higher, annually, it doesnt make sense to take the job because you can logic says you make more money at home. Here is arizonas picture now. The minimum wage, the state of arizona, what the state gives you plus what the federal government is giving you. Bottom line you can make 540 a week for not working. What do you think of that, chef . I really think thats hard to beat coming from an owner and also an employer previously. It is a lot of money theyre getting. There are those people that dont make 32,000 a year and those people that do make more than 32,000 a year. I just say ive been trying to employ young kids, too, kids with not much experience that also dont make 32,000 and im paying wage of 15 an hour in our restaurant. Those are hard to find as well. Bill you are offering more than the state law provides. Yes. Bill many argue that people have concerns about covid still. Have you found that . People have concerns about childcare . Have you found that to be the case with you . No. We just talked to an employee, a single mom. She figured out the Childcare Situation for her 3yearold and i am impressed with her. As far as the covid situation, i havent heard that. Weve done two interviews in two months with ads running in many places. That didnt come up in those two interviews. However, those two people didnt show up to work after accepting the work. Bill you cant give it away, can you, chef . Did you ever think in running your business that you would face this . It is just remarkable. I heard a quote from an american ceo saying how do i compete with a government that can print money . How do you do that . You cant compete. It is impossible. Impossible for small people and my wife and i says 100 square foot restaurant like ours with two patios and even large corporations cant keep up with employing the workforce. It is hard to compete. It is impossible. Bill what was first name of that mothers story you just told us. What is her name . What was the first name what . The mother who is working and figured out how to take care of her kids. Chef anita. Right now in hawaii taking a vacation. I pray she makes it back to us. Bill you tell her we said hello. Hang tough.

Dana i think he is slowing down. Stolen u haul there in california. Bill we just wanted to share that with you. A taste of whats happening in southern california. The sun comes up this morning. Nypd releasing Body Cam Video of the hero cop who rushed a 4yearold girl to an ambulance after a shooting in time square over the weekend. Alex hogan live in New York City. You were able to talk with the officer yesterday. What did she tell you . Good morning. I did talk with that officer and in speaking about the child who was shot right where im standing officer vogel said it hit home more now that she herself is a new mom. Her reaction at the time on saturday of the woman securing a tourniquet around the childs leg shot there on Saturday Scoopg Up and running down broadway to bring the child to safety. Officer vogel says the 4yearold was so brave she didnt even cry. I wasnt really thinking other than just getting her to the hospital. But when things start to settle in and are you sitting in the ambulance and then in the hospital you sit there and say i cant imagine what this mother is going through right now. The two other Innocent Bystanders were also shot. A 43yearold woman and a 23yearold woman visiting New York City on vacation with her family. 31yearold mohammed is still on the run. Investigators say they know him from a prior crime. Last year Police Charged mohammed with assault for allegedly beating a man during an argument over a cd. The mayor says police will find the suspect and that the shooting will not impact the citys recovery but candidates in the race to replace him arent so sure. You see the erosion of the basic principles that made this city what it is. We have reached a point of being dysfunctional and thats not acceptable. There is nothing more fundamental than the ability to walk in your own neighborhood in your family without fear. The three victims shot here are expected to recover. Mayoral candidates says it needs to be a wakeup call. Bill alex hogan. Good stuff there with the cop in time square. Ive never been more concerned about our National Security than i am now. Everybody sees joe biden as weak. Were going back into the iran deal. Arabs and israelis are besides themselves. Iran is getting stronger, china is threatening us and russia with troops on the border of the ukraine. This is a dangerous time. Dana South Carolina senator graham. I want to go around these three places in the world with you. China. We have problems in the United States. China have some problems of their own. They certainly do. There is a lot of backlash against china right now both in terms of the aggressive way that they have handled their international policies, as well as the difficulties theyre having with their vaccines which are not nearly as effective and havent been transparent around that with the rest of the world. So as a consequence whether you talk about australia, japan, canada, United States. Europeans suspended talks around the massive investment deal with china. The last couple weeks have been significantly about backlash against beijing. The u. S. Is in a slightly better position right now than we were six months or three years ago against the chinese. Dana how much does china think about the olympics and potential for boycotts or backlash . That would be very embarrassing for them. They think a lot about it. When xi was Vice President he was the one really personally in charge of the previous beijing olympics. The big Coming Out Party for china. They did a magnificent job to be sure. He takes it very seriously. The Chinese Government is very concerned that this could be an embarrassment for them. Different countries around the world with diplomatic boycotts. Interesting to say that so far they have given no guidance around when tickets will be available. The earliest they would make that known is the end of summer. Some of that is coronavirus. A lot of that is they dont want to get embarrassed. What is driving it all if they end up saying it will be just chinese. You cant have a diplomatic boycott if the diplomats arent invited in the first place. Dana russia quickly and the Colonial Pipeline hack and darkside is based there. What should we know and reading the tea leaves. Biden seemed to say he was not pointing the fingers at russia but russia has some culpability here. Of course they do. Nobody believes that the kremlin ordered this attack. No one believes that. But we know that the russians engage in support not just tolerance but support for the dual use criminal signed cats. The kremlin allows them to persist and outsources to them for strategic purposes in cyberattacks against enemies and no problem with those organizations go ahead and use their technology to shut down, threaten and extort Foreign Companies all over the world. Of course not in russia itself. They never do that. We see what the americans do against a company like huawei. We should treat a russia Criminal Syndicate the same way. Dana well keep an eye on those hot spots and love to have you back so you can keep us informed. Thanks, ian. Rocket fire is continuing from the gaza strip. There is a warning going off right now.

Republicans have not won a statewide race in more than 12 years. How do you change that . Thats true. Ive been so encouraged as ive traveled around virginia over the last four months campaigning at the ground swell of support from republicans, from independents and from democrats. Im a home grown virginian, outsider. I have a 30 year Business Career getting things done, not empty promises that come from old politicians or worse yet the same old politician in terry mccaul i have. I hear over and over and over again glenn. We cannot afford a third term of this dynasty. Take us someplace different. Were going to get Virginia Open and moving. Go back where she belongs as the best state in america to live, work and raise a family. Get our schools open. Not just that but make sure our schools are teaching everybody how to think not what to think, which is what Terry Mccauliffe wants to do. He wants to get rid of our right to work status and make Virginia Captive to the unions. Im tight on time. I apologize. Very interesting issues about working and also School Choice as well. Mccauliffe has a lot of name recognition. A lot of people think he will be the guy youll go up against. He sent out this tweet slamming you. He said let me introduce you glenn youngkin.

Im tired of it. Im tired of Career Politicians doing nothing but dividing us. And i think there is a new day in virginia coming. Thats why i have so much support coming out of our convention overwhelming support coming out of our convention moving forward to Unite Virginians and define a new day, which is one about opportunity. One about schools, one about safe communities, but also about bringing people together, not dividing them. All you get from Terry Mccauliffe is division. Thats not what well do in our campaign.

There was a Kerfuffle On Twitter yesterday. They suggested republicans could win the governor race this year in 2021. It got a lot of attention. If he is saying it i think its a real possibility. Fox news alert now. Were waiting for dr. Anthony fauci and cdc director and other Top Health Officials to testify on capitol hill. A hearing on the latest efforts to fight the coronavirus pandemic set to start any moment. Well keep an eye on that and see what else they say that might be contradictory to what youve heard before. President biden is searching for the best way to get more americans vaccinated as nationwide demand begins to fall. Welcome to a new hour of americas newsroom. Im dana perino. Bill im bill hemmer. Still kicking it. Have we lost altitude . Dana were up. Bill right. Daily Vaccination Rates dropping sharply as administration scrambles to get more shots into arms. The number of vaccinations falling from about 3 1 2 Million a day back in mid april to just about 2 million as we approach mid may. The president holding a Virtual Meeting with six governors today seeking advice how to get more people vaccinated and reopen more of the country. Meanwhile republicans blaming the latest disappointing job numbers on government spending. Im not calling anybody lazy. The logic tells you if you make as much or more in some cases not working than working, youll do that until such time as that no longer exists. Im not calling anybody lazy. It is a logical numbered base decision some people made. It is real. Small businesses are telling us they cannot fill job openings. Dana peter doocy getting us started live on the north lawn. Good morning, peter. Zbh President Biden claims his economic plan is working. As members of his administration claim people arent working out of fear of covid19. The president keeps sending mixed messages good gatherings and wearing masks. Sometimes break from their own cdc guidance for vaccinated americans. Again, there almost seems to be some reluctance to let go of Emergency Measures even to the point of clashing with science. The New York Times seems to agree with that Point Writing in a story today when the centers for Disease Control and prevention released new guidance for mask wearing it announced less than 10 of covid19 transmission was occurring outdoors. Its akin to Shaig Sharks Attack fewer than 20,000 people a year. Sit true and deceiving. In the last couple days weve herd President Biden defend his mask wearing outside. You walked out with a mask on. Why do you choose to wear a mask so often when you are vaccinated and you are around other people vaccinated. Im worried about you. Thats a joke, thats a joke. Why am i wearing the mask . Because inside it is still good policy to wear a mask. When im outside the problem is lots of times i walk away tr the podium and forget to put my mask on because im not used to wearing it outside. His goal for things being normal enough for people to gather in small groups together is the Fourth Of July. Dana. Dana great to see you this morning. Thank you. Bill another alert happening now. U. S. Senate showdown underway as republicans fight to stop the bill calling it a Democratic Power grab to federalize local elections. Karl rove is watching this. Former deputy chief of staff. We have ted cruz on last hour and teed off on this thing. Do you see it going anywhere. Why dont we begin there . I dont think it will go anywhere but we need to make certain it doesnt. If this thing does federalize elections and has a bunch of bad provisions in it. It provides Public Financing of elections. By 6 to 1. You give up to 200 the federal government matches that contribution with six times. So 1200. No voter i. D. Laws. Every voter i. D. Law in the country is wiped out. Limits the ability to keep accurate voter lists. It says states cant check people at the polls against registration list. People can show up and change their name and their address at the polls and thats not set aside as a provisional ballot to be further checked. It is thrown into the big batch. You cant check with other states. You cant remove people from the voter list even if you send even if they havent voted and youve sent them a postcard and the postcard come back saying that person no longer lives at the address. You have to leave them on the rolls. Everybody gets ballot mailed to them. No i. D. No notary, no witnesses. They mail them out and anybody can throw them out and send them back in. It bans outside observers at the polls. The only people to challenge a voter are somebody who shows up at the polls is an election official not a represent irving from the republican or democratic parties. The naacp fought that provision all the way to the Supreme Court in the 1950s. The aclu is even saying this is a problem. You can vote anywhere. You dont have to show up at your precinct. You can show up anywhere in your community or your state and vote. It limits on corporate speech. If you are a company there are severe limits on it. No limits on what unions can do. Even the aclu has said this is wrong. I could go on. I have like three or four boards here. Ballot harvesting, partisan groups can literally collect ballots from individuals without any supervision by the local election authorities. Put them together and then vote them or not vote them as they see fit. This has a lot of bad stuff in it. Bill the point we made with cruz last hour. The filibuster still is in tact inless you destroy it. This doesnt pass the way its set up now. Even if it were you would get a major court challenge, right . States rights versus federal law decided by the u. S. Supreme court. You would have free speech issues, voter integrity issues. You would have infringing on the rights of states. This, for example, says states can legislatures have no role in drawing the lines for themselves or congressional districts. Where is the authority for the federal government to do that in the constitution. You would have lawsuits up and down the line. I dont think it passes. Look, if you were joe manchin with a state that has a voter i. D. Law or mark kelly with a voter i. D. Law or maggie hasin whose democratic Secretary Of State is totally against this bill, you want to go home and say i decided to take authority away from my state and give it to washington in a bill thats clearly designed to benefit the Democratic Party . Bill why are they doing it . Make a black eye on republicans for what theyre doing in texas and georgia and florida would be the assumption. Point out what the democrats are doing. This is not for the people. It is for the politicians. Think about it. Federal dollars will go to match your Campaign Contribution six to one. Not only that we want to set up a test in six dates everybody gets a 25 voucher, you give it to a campaign and the Campaign Turns it into the government and gets money for the federal treasury. Come on. This is a protection of the politicians act not for the people. Bill were waiting on this. So well bring our viewers that hearing once it gets underway. Mitch mcconnell. Chuck schumer. A lot of times they dont go to Committee Meetings but will show up today. Wall street journal on the pipeline, wow, who knew, right . Half of the fuel going to the eastern half of the u. S. Is in peril. They say the Real Infrastructure problem shutdown is a warning of the worst to come. Texas had that problem in the cold snap. How should the administration address this . The difference between texas that was an act of nature. We had unusually low sustained cold temperatures. This is the act of a criminal gang that operates from in all likelihood russia. And with the at least the concurrence of or at least the lacks days call attitude of the russian government. An attack on the infrastructure of the oountsz. Imagine what would happen if such a cyberattack was launched against four or five parts of our infrastructure. Not only the pipeline bringing fuel to the east coast but maybe electricity grids. We have a vulnerability to these kind of nonstate actors and state actors. Remember, we had violations of some of our Government Databases by north korea state actors. Violations of private networks by north korea actors. Weve had violations of American Systems by Chinese State actors. This is a growing problem in a world in which were knit together by the internet. Our vulnerabilities are greater and we need to do something about it or we could be seriously damaged. Our economy and readiness in the face of conflict. Bill thank you. Well look at more boards next time. See you later in the week. Karl rove live in austin, texas. Dana i noticed he brought up senator mark kelly. I dont know if karl was listening to me earlier or had similar thoughts. I do think that so much attention is on Senator Manchin and senator sinema and understood but you have a couple other senators like mark kelly of arizona and Maggie Hassin of new hampshire. If i were a republican keep the pressure on and its how you keep the filibuster. I think karl should listen to me. Bill if you blame russia youll blame putin. If you meet with putin, will you raise it with him . Remember all the grief that trump took while president whether he challenged putin or not . The tables will be turned very soon if this is a case. Dana i love it when the tables are turned. Fox news alert. Escalating violence in the middle east. Hamas Firing Hundreds of rockets into israel. Israel hitting back hard with retaliatory strikes and the intensifying conflict could turn into an allout war. Trey yengst is live in south israel. Two women were killed by rockets launched from gaza. At least two israelis dead and Dozens Injured as hamas fires hundreds of rockets into southern israel. Behind me is a school hit with a rocket about an hour ago and you can see what one rocket does to a structure. All morning and all afternoon weve heard Sirens Blaring in this part of the country and its not getting any better. Israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu says this afternoon he will be stepping up strikes inside the gaza strip in an attempt to change the behavior of hamas. We already have seen heavy israeli retaliation as the Prime Minister promised there would be a price to pay for this rocket fire into southern israel. At least 26 gaza people are dead. Several reportedly children. We spoke today with the Israeli Military who explained theyre doing all they can to avoid civilian casualties but will be criticized for this as targets across the gaza strip are being hit. As i said earlier, the scene here is very familiar across the city in southern israel because the sirens will go off and then you will hear a lot of interceptions by israels Missile Defense system the iron dome. It is about 90 effective. It is not perfect. You can see the scene here. This is what happens when just one rocket slips through. We know at least two people have been killed in israel. There are sirens that are going off in the distance and also israeli fighter jets overhead because theyre striking different targets throughout this afternoon. Now police in this municipality have ordered people to stay in bombshell tears or close to them. Theyre concerned that as the Prime Minister decides to increase the strikes inside gaza and you can hear in the distance there are interceptions probably along the border communities. Again, the Prime Minister will be calling the shots here but he did Hold A Security Assessment earlier today meeting with cabinet officials and also his Defense Minister to decide what the next steps will be. We know 5,000 reserve israeli troops are preparing if they need to head to the border. This is the brink of what could be a larger escalation. Dana please take care. Bill very important story to watch. Hope it doesnt escalate what it already has. Two reports of two israeli women being killed today. The Iron Dome System in israel works. They have mastered the system almost. In the case of this city, the rockets fired that area. The iron dome wasnt up in time to protect it. What jack keane said earlier is right. All these rockets that are in gaza, they got there by way of iran. Dana thats right. You can see that ship yesterday we found all the weapons . We should pull up the picture and bring it to you in a little bit. Bill back at home the governor of new jersey saying everything is on the table when it comes to getting people vaccinated including bribery .

Dana the man who trained this years Kentucky Derby winner is blaming cancel culture for backlash after the horse failed a drug test. The win hangs in the balance. I cannot believe. I never thought i would have to be fighting for my reputation and this poor horses reputation because of the new regulations the regulators have put. Theyre testing these horses at contaminated levels and it has been horrible experience. Dana lets bring in fox friends cohost Brian Kilmeade. Can a play another piece for you . He blames cancel culture. It got picked up a lot yesterday. Listen. We live in a different world now. This america is different and it was like a cancel culture kind of thing so they are reviewing it. I havent been told anything. Dana love your take on this. What do you think . No way anything to do with cancel culture. That would be maybe they dont want men trainers because men get too much credit for racing. This is about drug testing and bill, you nailed it at the end. Dont you inject this into the horse at the joints . Mike, no stranger to sports talk, probably the most successful in the History Of Sports Radio who spent 40 years owning horses and racing them says bob baffert is smart enough to know. I dont see how he will get himself out of this one. The fifth time this year. He has beaten the other times of technicalities. He said he believes the horse will run in the preakness but will eventually fail this second test and be disqualified at the Kentucky Derby. Devastating for this but not the first time we see major stars even though its a horse or trainers decision perhaps if things go the way this is lie to our face from Lance Armstrong on down and it turns out it blows up in their face. Bill i was watching you last night when you played those clips, right, whether it was Lance Armstrong. Who else, dana alex rodriguez. Baffert ert says he isnt going to the preakness this weekend. Do we believe Medina Spirit will race this weekend . Yeah. Thats one thing i was referring to. Mike said last night he believes if it fails the test he will race this weekend. Bob baffert wont be the person one step away from the triple crown. He has bigger legal problems. He said at the end of your interview one thing i think is a red flag for life when you refer to yourself in the third person if i say Brian Kilmeade is now on with dana perino i think you should call a psychologist. He was doing that to you yesterday. I find that a little odd. Number two is when it comes to bob baffert, if he was one step away from the triple crown you know he would be there. So if he believes possibly that this test was going to come out negative and false positive you know that he would have committed to go to the preakness because then over at belmont in long island going for the triple crown. Nothing bigger in horse racing. Bill first week in june. Dana i wanted to say touch base on the other topic before we lose you. There was a report that Melinda Gates was angry with bill gates in regards to his connection and relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. We covered that story yesterday. Look at this. Fox news we covered it. Msnbc zero minutes on this. Cbs zero minutes, nbc and abc and cnn had 10 minutes. When you see that on msnbc has zero minutes. What does it tell youing anything . A lot. Msnbc. Microsoft. According to my stats he founded that organization in the 70s. So lets not run with the Jeffrey Epstein connection. They love the Jeffrey Epstein connection when they thought it was to donald trump. They love those other Networks Connection when they thought Jeffrey Epstein was connected to the royal family. They dont love the connection with the clintons or when it goes to someone like bill gates who is all over the manifest with that. Evidently this very detailed about his wife was upset about t it. I dont want to get into their relationship. Amazing how they leave out complicated things. One of the top richest men in america along with his wife theyre divorcing. He is the expert on cnn who tells us how to handle pandemics and how bad donald trump was at it even though he is a computer guy he is a pandemic expert. He looks at pandemics for a hobby. Why would you want to blow up the credibility of this guy who we lean on as the dalai lama on cnn in case of planning for the future . A lot of the stuff he predicted would happen hasnt happened. He said we werent going to get a vaccine and we did. Dana is your hobby working . You will be on tonight 7 00 p. M. On fox news prime time. Im hobbyless. Always have been.

Teachers unions defending Critical Race Theory in classrooms across america. Here is what she said yesterday afternoon with Martha Maccallum on the story. I believe we should teach history and from everything i can see and understand from the data i see, 1619 was the year that the first slave boat came from africa to the United States. So thats a point in history that i think we should be teaching. Bill Jonathan Hunt live in l. A. Thats not all she said. Good morning to you. Jonathan. This is the debate going on in schools and living rooms across the country. As ethnic Study Courses and Social Justice standards are introduced in many public schools. Some of those courses teach the history of the first slaves being brought to the u. S. In 1619. Leaving critics to say children are being taught that the u. S. Was founded on the basis of slavery and leading to this exchange between martha and randi weingarten. Do you favor Teaching Students that 1619 is more important than 1776 . Do you favor that . I favor us teaching about 1776, which i have often done. I want us teaching 1619 and favor us teaching about the holocaust and genocide in terms of the holocaust. Its led to parents groups protest in southern california. There is a Public Meeting scheduled this evening discuss Social Justice standards proposed for all k12 students. Standards that include the students recognizing traits of the dominant culture and injustice at the institutional or systemic level. Some parents argue that kind of teaching creates more division. Supporters say done right it can help us all. At least the most sensitive proponents of ethnic studies are saying just the opposite. That we actually need this kind of study to help create more glue to hold us together. After our reporting on this issue last week, bill, the last all mead owes School District moved it from in person to online only concerned that too many parents might show up to protest the new curriculum there. Bill thank you, Jonathan Hunt in l. A. On that. Dana fox news alert. More Jobs Available in the United States than at any other point in the last 20 years. The number of openings hit 8. 1 million in march according to the bureau of labor statistics. There are jobs out there but lots of factors keeping people from taking them. Bill you said 8 million . Dana 8. 1 million. Bill now the white house has argued that you have Covid Concerns and thats why some of these jobs arent filled and childcare, which goes a little bit to the question of teachers and schools, etc. My sense yesterday from his evening to the president at the white house, theyre well aware of this. I sense a bit of reversal, a bit of change of tack from the white house in the comments yesterday. Dana a little bit. They can see whats happening and the flashing red lights. President biden is vowing to enforce the Unemployment Insurance laws as he warns people against gaming the system. The president was playing Defense Yesterday following last months disappointing jobs report saying enhanced jobless benefits are not to blame for workers staying home. Senator ben sasse differs. Saying President Biden is all over place on Unemployment Insurance. He wants to go after folks who are gaming the system but he is denying the reality that his policies are making the situation worse. So he is trying to make struggling businesses the boogeyman. Senator sasse is a member of the budget and Finance Committee and joins us now. Can you clarify something for us . Yesterday when President Biden said if you are offered a job and you dont take it you are going to be held to account for that or penalized and knock your enhanced unemployment benefit. Isnt that already the case . Thats already the law. It obviously isnt working. There is a massive Policy Failure at work. You guys bill and dana flagged the fact there are 8 million open jobs in the country. Only 300,000 people got new jobs last month. There are a bunch of reasons behind that but the driver of this is that there is stupid policy out of washington made it more valuable to not work than work. We are made to work. We are made to do things that benefit our neighbor and made to by hard work and grit put bread on the table for our kids. A year ago in the height of the Covid Ramp There was a lot of genuine emergency around jobs. But the response was a flawed response that started paying more for unemployment than for work and not surprisingly lots of people dont leave the Unemployment Insurance roles to take a pay cut to go back to work. It is a tragedy for main street and a loss to families as well. Dana i think the Biden Administration seems to be suggesting that Business Owners who say they cant find workers or republicans who think the policy is not helpful here are suggesting that americans are lazy and that they dont want to work when in actuality they are making rationale decisions. Right. Were talking about the perversions of washington policy that pitted work against a paycheck. Washington decided policymakers who spend a bunch of time in their own little internal thinktank circles and not actually talking to workers and small Business Owners on main streets across the country decided it was just fine rational policy to drive Unemployment Insurance compensation higher than the wages for jobs. They thought it wouldnt have a present perverse effects. We talked about this constantly it was a perverse policy that would have inflationary effects and keep people on the sidelines of jobs in ways harmful to them. This isnt a question of us arguing that people are lazy, it is question of us recognizing that people are rational Decision Makers and washington created an incentive that paid more to not work than the work and so lots of people opt to not work. Why only 300,000 of those 8 million jobs were filled. Dana what do you think should be done . Ive introduced the National Signing bonus act. Imperfect policy but much less bad than the policy out there now which is trying to convert these supplemental uninsurance Bonus Payments that Congressional Democrats and Biden Administration put in place and convert them to a Signing Bonus. If you are on unemployment and take a job you get two more months or 101 of two months of what you would have gotten on unemployment as a Signing Bonus for coming back on the job. We dont want to create perverse incentives where People Choose doing beneficial things for their neighbor and community and putting bread on the table but incentivize getting people back to work. I want to convert the Bonus Payment to a Signing Bonus to get people back on the job. Dana that money already exists. You wouldnt have to be additional money to do that . Correct, we take money that has already been allocated for the purposes of these supplemental Unemployment Insurance payments that run through labor day and say if you get a new job in the next six weeks and take the job offered in your community by the Fourth Of July you get the Unemployment Bonus but back on the job and we get you off the dole for the long term. Dana see if anybody takes you up on that. Good idea. Thanks. Are we willing to basically bribe people to get vaccinated . Everything is on the table. Literally everything is on the table. Bill thats the new jersey governor saying the state may bribe people to get vaccinated against covid. Murphy has a goal and tell you what it is in a moment. Ooun leaver which makes brieers and klondike ice cream will offer free ice cream to anyone who gets a Vaccination Fridays in select cities across the country. Murphys goal is to get 70 of adults vaccinated in new jersey. Dana wisconsin they offered a beer if you got the vaccine . Their numbers went up. They might be on to something. Would you do it for ice cream . Bill i already got it. Dana what did you get . You got immunity. Bill immunity, what i was waiting for. Dana prince harry and Oprah Winfrey the teaming up for a series of mental health. Can every day people bill find out why a chicken a chicken is being shown the door at the coop.

Your spouse has earned the right to apply for a va home loan. The newday 100 loan allows you to borrow up to 100 of your homes value. So, if youre in a situation where you need some help financially, give us a call. Veteran homeowners, home values are at alltime highs. You could have much more equity than you think banks can loan you some of it. Newday can loan you all of it the Newday100 Va Cash Out loan. Ludicrous practices of Ballot Harvesting would be democrats have a 50 50 senate. They want to make themselves the board of elections for every county and state in america . But voting regulations are just the start. This legislation would deliberately turn the federal Elections Commission into a partisan democratic panel. They want their own side enforcing election law on their own. Unilaterally. It would authorize federal bureaucrats to folk around in private Citizens Free speech. Attack americas privacy rights to such an extreme degree even the liberal aclu is sounding alarm bells about this bill. It would have the federal government take public money and send it directly to political campaigns so americans can subsidize robocalls, junk mail and tv ads for candidates they disagree with. So the marketing has changed constantly. This has done from an Election Security bill to an ethics bill to a Racial Justice bill. Who knows what it will be labeled tomorrow . But what doesnt change is the substance because the intention doesnt change. Democratic party on its own wants to rewrite the ground rules of American Politics for their benefit. We all know thats what this is about. Its hard to imagine anything that would erode Public Confidence in our democracy more drastically. This bill has purely partisan support in the house, it had bipartisan opposition. It is one thing to make fiscal policy to use reconciliation to tax and spend. It is very different to try to hot wire our democracy itself without a single vote from the other side. These are issues weve tackled together in the past. I was first chair and then Ranking Member with chris dodd in 2001 and 2002. We passed the Help American Vote Act with 90 votes. The slogan then was make it easier to vote and harder to cheat. On a bipartisan basis we resisted the pleas of some to federalize every aspect of how we handle elections. We set up federal Election Administration act, we provided money to help states upgrade their equipment, but we deliberately did not seek to dictate how they handle elections. Thats how you pass a bill related to how the two parties compete. Together. Not on a totally partisan basis. Thats how you strengthen our democracy. If this bill were to pass, nobody would have any confidence in it. Lets call it what is it. Put aside the flowery language. This is a partisan effort to take over how you do how you conduct elections in our country. Thank you, the committee will now turn to the consideration of s1, the for the people act. We have many amendments. The first one is the managers amendment. Bill as this continues Mitch Mcconnells key line there make it easier to vote, make it harder to cheat referred to what he did with senator dodd in the early 2000s. Dana highly unusual for schumer and mcconnell to show up at a hearing. It shows how important this is to both sides. You will hear a lot more about this and bring you news as it goes through the day. Bill we have ridicule hitting nbc in the big way after pulling the plug on the Golden Globes. They say it was because of diversity in the hollywood press organization. Some wonder if its the shows dismal ratings. Carley shimkus live today. Whats up . The deal with this one. The Hollywood Foreign press association, the group of journalists that decide who gets nominated and who gets the golden globe, they say serious backlash after it was revealed that they do not have a single black member. So they released a statement earlier this year saying you are right, were now committed to diversity. We will increase our diversity by 13 . Well, around that same time it was revealed that the former president of the Hollywood Foreign press association sent this email that criticized the black lives matter movement. It didnt go over well. Fast forward to today and you have amazon, netflix, saying we wont deal with this association and then the big news nbc is not going to air the Golden Globes next year. This years golden globe ratings were terrible. They dropped 60 to the lowest ever. So is this about ratings and money or is it about diversity . Very good question. You be the judge. Dana weve been talking about people making rational decisions and incentives to me this shows to me its probably a rational decision but they can blame diversity. Yeah, they can blame diversity. I also do think it shows a little bit of a double standard. The Hollywood Foreign press association apparently has for years had issues with shady dealings and corruption. I dont remember any celebrities speeng out about that 10 or 15 years ago. Theyre speaking out now when it benefits them. Tom cruise mailed his three Golden Globe Awards back to the Association Yesterday and was met with immediate praise. Mark ruffalo thanked nbc for canceling the show. When he was overjoyed to receive a golden globe not but three months ago. Bill you know, carley, nbc was aware of this, right . Theyve been following it. A question of time before they as the New York Post put holly woke. Thats the cover today here in new york. The statement from nbc. We continue to believe the hfca is committed to meaningful reform. Change of this magnitude takes time and work and we feel strongly it needs time to do it right. Nbc will not air the 2022 Golden Globes. Dana i think tom cruise was doing like the rest of us spring cleaning. I dont need all these Golden Globes. Get these awards out of here. Dana thanks, carley. Bill drivers might need more patience at the pump after a cyberattack in one of the nations largest pipeline. The status of how thats going coming up next here.

Dana Colonial Pipeline cyberattack causing a drop in gasoline supply. Long lines at gas stations in several states and some stations running out. Jonathan serrie joining us from atlanta. Good morning. Long lines at some stations and then this is the alternative. This kwik trip in buck head in the atlanta area is one of the busier gas stations here. They have temporarily run out of gas. They were already out of premium and mid grade this morning. About an hour ago they ran out of regular unleaded. This is a high priority gas station. We anticipate theyll get additional supplies in the near future. Didnt even know about it until i pulled up. The fact we can be hacked so easily is a concern. Elsewhere in the Metro Atlanta area this gas station closed temporarily. Other stations are running low on fuel supplies. Georgia Governor Brian Kemp signed an executive order waiving fuel taxes through saturday as increased demand is expected to drive up prices for the limited supply. What that means for gas prices could be an increase of 3 to 7 cents as early as this week. A lot will depend how long the pipeline is down. Social media posts show long lines leading to several gas stations in North Carolina including this one in asheville. The Colonial Pipeline that runs from texas to new jersey tends to keep fuel prices lower for the communities it serves. It provides 45 of the fuel consumption on the east coast. During these brief periods that it is disrupted consumers definitely feel the pinch. Dana thank you, jonathan. Bill waiting on this. Senator rand paul questioning Anthony Fauci on the hill. Drop on in and listen. Had viral proteins added to it to the spike protein if it were released accidentally. Dr. Fauci, do you still support funding of the nih funding of the lab in wuhan . Senator paul, with all due respect you are entirely and completely incorrect that the nih has not ever and does not now fund gain of function research in the wuhan institute. We do not fund he does not do gain of function research and if it is it is being conducted in North Carolina, not china. You dont think the spike protein that got into the sars virus is gain of function . Thats a not a minority. At least two other scientists have signed a statement from the Cambridge Working Group saying it is gain of function. Well, it is not. If you look at the grant and you look at the progress reports, it is not gain of function. Despite the fact that people tweet that. Sendsing money to the wuhan virology institute. We do not send money now. We were sending it. It was a sub agency and sub grant. Do you support the money
