That was the problem. I had to go right home. Steve i was there. They didnt do anything. Brian pass the velvet ropes. Im steve doocy. Let me in. Brian Top Coronavirus Advisers Set to testify on Capitol Hill today. Ainsley this as cities reimplement Andate'>Mask MAndates for vaccinated americans. Steve just so long as they dont have more lockdowns. Dr. Fauci says kids older than 2 need to wear masks if they want to go back to school. Ainsley here we to. Griff thats right. Good morning, did the Cdc End that Andate'>Mask MAndate for vaccinated americans too soon . Thats going to be the pressing question for And-wolenski'>Fauci And Wolenski at Todays Senate Hearing with 48. 6 of the country fully vaccinated just over 56 having gotten one shot in cases due to the Delta Variant are up 107 in the last two weeks. Now some california areas like l. A. County are reinstating the Andate'>Mask MAndate. With others in the san francisco Bay Area And Southern Nevada pushing for the vaccinated to mask up again. Meanwhile, as you mention dollars, the American Academy Of Pediatrics wants a mask on everyone older than 2 writing, quote there are many children And others who cannot be vaccinated. This is why its important to use every tool in our Tool Kit to safeguard children from covid19, universal masking is one of those tools. Well, dr. Fauci, backs that guidance. When you have a degree of viral dynamics in the community, And you have substantial proportion of the population that is unvaccinated, you really want to go the extra step, the extra mile. I think thats a reasonable thing to do. Griff earlier this morning on Fox Friends first, Fox News medical Contributor Dr. Marty makary had this to say. Absolutely no data on masks in kids who are vaccinated And many of us think that that vaccinated protection is pretty good to reduce transmission significantly. A lot of kids struggle with masks. Griff finally, Wall Street may want to take an ant acid. Driven by fears of covid. See if the market reacts on what comes out of todays hearing. Brian thanks, griff. The American Academy Of Pediatrics makes that ridiculous statement 2 And up wearing masks. Not taking in psychological it it will affect of kids not seeing expressions, 18 month. It the w. H. O. Said no child under 5 should be required to wear mask. The american Pediatrics Association said something different. What are the risks . 0 to 4 years old. 165 deaths in the u. S. We havent examined whats in those deaths. They said 500 kids sadly die of the common cold. I dont see anyone say wear a mask because of the common cold. They say statistically its zero Percent Chance 0 to 4. 5 to 17, 0. 1 . The psychotic Call Tool on kids wearing mask, to me, does not outweigh the risk of wearing mask And getting this virus. Consider there is so much they dont know. Ainsley a lot of these gory governors saying l. A. County might say you have to to wear one indoors. We are not going to mAndate masks. That includes Ron Desantis down in florida. He signed Executive Order saying cities And counties not allowed to do this texas governor. South carolina governor. Jay inslee in Washington State of all places i was shocked by that he says you do not have to wear mask. We are not mAndating that. Steve look. We all the want the kids in person. If the price of admission is masks, apparently the price of admission. Brian but why . Steve talk to the experts, brian . Brian what experts . Thats one expert. The price of Admission Cant be met. Thats one expert opinion. The w. H. O. Is considered expert by some organizations. Steve so would you rather not the kids not be in person . Brian why is that a choice . It should not each be a choice for 2yearolds to wear mask. Steve the Wall Street Journal Today has an oped And they said headline is we will always have covid. They talk about shutdowns And masks And stuff like that. Lets hope the political classes learn some lessons from the last 18 months. Namely, that covid will always be with us And that we will have to live with it without shutting down the economy. They say that politicians should take lockdowns, the biggest mistake of the pAndemic off the table. So, if they are going to have some restrictions or some guidance, you know, in various localities, do it just dont shut down the economy. Ainsley thats the fear. Thats the next variant . Will we continue seeing the cycling another variant And stop wearing Mask Force a little while And have to rewear them. 50 of american adults fully vaccinated. 25 have natural immunity but have not been vaccinated And i heard dr. Makary say this morning that leaves 15 susceptible to the Delta Variant. Brian much more to say on this. New video shows hundreds of migrants trying to force their way past Border Agents in exit. How bidens policies have opened the door for chaos And he does not seem to care. Steve speaking of texas. Another state texas democrat has tested positive for covid19. Did they get them on that plane in the run away lawmakers say theyre staying in d. C. For the long haul until that voting down in texas is all done.

They even showcase a fake Art Piece that reads i Heart Burisma the White House faces ethical questions as buyers of Hunters Art can remain anonymous. Those are your headlines guys. Steve some of that stuff could sell for half A Million dollars . Carley yep. Thats the price tag. Steve its pretty expensive. Brian not bad for a rookie . He has only been painting six weeks. Ainsley if somebody comes it over to your House President biden did that its not really anonymous. Steve conversation. Brian you could say Hunter Bluw this painting he blows paint through the straw. Ainsley thats his medium. Brian fantastic. Steve meanwhile, lets talk a little bit about this. You know, the Freedom Fighters from texas. Ainsley fugitives. Steve calling them fugitives now. Brian they are. Steve rather than stay in texas And take a vote on the House Bill And senate bill. They jumped into that jet plane, one of two chattered jets And headed to washington, d. C. Where they are going to hold up until the voting is done in texas. Heres the problem that jet appears to be a Super Spreader event. Now that democrat, a six out of 50 some, Thats North of 10 of the people on the jet have contracted covid. Another one tested positive for it yesterday. Ainsley they are quarantining inside their Hotel Rooms. Their friends are feeding them. Leaving food outside of their doors. They are cleaning all the meeting spaces. But the concern is Kamala Harris met with them on tuesday. The first one tested positive. Steve exposed her to it. Ainsley her spokesperson said she didnt have close contact with them. She did go to Walter Reed on sunday for her routine checkup on a sunday. Steve yeah right. Ainsley she apparently did get tested for covid because the test came back negative we learned that news yesterday. Brian Sign Feldt Episode same Talking Point continued. Whats going on here . Theyre running from voting because they dont like the new Voting Rules in texas which really go back to prepAndemic. Number two is on the plane they say they are fully vaccinated. Take them at their word theyre fully vaccinated six And probably more are going to get the covid19 virus. What does that say . Well, they have cold like symptoms . What does this also say . The vaccine is not nearly as effective against this Delta Variant as they say. If you look at what is happening in britain. They say 70 of the new cases are fullly vaccinated people with the pfizer vaccine. Nobody talks about that still at that word 97 of those who are hospitalized here in the u. S. Or most of your vaccinated you are really not susceptible to this variant. Well, that cant be true if you look at what is happening in the u. K. And israel. And now look at what is happening on beto orourkes private jet that his foundation financed. Steve maybe it proves that you should be wearing a mask on the jet. Ainsley one of them did admit that they should have. Steve absolutely. Peter doocy inquired about that And other Things Yesterday with Jen Psaki who had this to say. Watch. Is there any Safety Concern about her spending time around the president until a certain amount of time has passed . Well, first i would say that the think the Vice President s office put out that she was tested And that she did there was no detection of covid19. Do officials here wish that those texas democrats would have been more careful And taken more precautions like wearing masks on the flight here . Again, i dont think im going to be in a position here to assess what Safety Precautions they may or may not have taken. Obviously, these individuals were out there trying to elevate the issue of an individuals right to vote. We, of course, Hope Everybody abides. Steve heres the thing. Apparently because some of them have covid, And they despite what was said, they ultimately did expose the Vice President to covid as well. It has jeopardized the texas democrats meeting with the president. Apparently they had written a letter to him And said we would like to meet with you. Im sure the White House would think this would be a great photo op. Like Everything Else. Now because they have got Do Everything via zoom that aint going to happen. Ainsley the report says its going to cost 1. 5 million for them to stay in d. C. Until august. Steve this has completely backfired. Ainsley exactly. Here is what some of them listen, im so sorry that they have covid. I have been praying for them. I hope they get better And i hope this doesnt get worse for them. When they were asked about leaving the state, they said they are going to stay in d. C. They have given up a lot And sacrificed a lot. Here is more of what they said. Its challenging for our members who are leaving behind members families And jobs business. Young children in many cases. That was what was hard about it. But it was easy in the sense that this was the only option we had. Every single One Of Us in this delegation have a day job. Now, we have to struggle. But, you know, unlike a lot of republicans in our chamber. We are not millionaires. We plan to be here to kill these bills in texas that make it harder to exercise our freedom to vote. We have got democrats who have locked in. And were planning to be here for the duration to bide congress some time to act. Brian what crownish behavior. They are doing this lark because of 24hour voting stopped. We never had that prior to have the pAndemic. Drivethru voting . Since when is that commonplace . Mailing Absentee Ballots to every eligible. How many multiple ballots ended up at your house who longer live in the place you live. Reigning things in after the pAndemic. Voter i. D. Something 70 of the country want. Congratulations spending 200 a night on beto orourkes super pac dollar. When the stops, the Government Governor is going to start another one in austin. When you lAnd, you are more than likely going to be arrested. Who thought this out . Ainsley why dont they compromise . Why dont they say everyone has to have an i. D. And leave the polls open 24 hours. Steve ultimately its going to pass in texas. Its all promotion for the We The People act. The Big Congress is trying to pass And it doesnt look as if that is going to happen either. Dan crenshaw is going done on our program coming up at 8 30 this morning right here on Fox Friends. All right. Meanwhile. Yesterday we introduced you to a grAndmother down in washington, d. C. Who lost her grAnddaughter in a rAndom shooting. Ainsley 6 years old. Steve there is a picture of Nyiah Courtney right there. This happened the night before the national games people were running for their lives. Brazen nominee a toyota started shooting at other people as is the case in so many of these instances now. One person leaving the ballgame was shot. A fan. A couple other people were hit. And now the mayor there says, you know what . I dont care what it costs. We have got to forget about the defund the police. Were going to have to put some money in some pockets And they are running for their lives And we are going to have to get more cops on the beat. Ainsley the mayor says this in this letter to city council. The terrible incidents of this past weekend include will murder of Nyiah Courtney. I am directing the metropolitan Police Department to use any overtime necessary. Brian good. Ainsley any overtime necessary to meet our public safety need. While the use of overtime is tool is not ideal solution as it result on the Burn 1kwr0u9 of officers. The better solution is to fully staff our police force. Steve good for her. Ainsley good for her. We intriewted grAndmother Andrea-courtney'>Andrea Courtney lives at the house with the family. Nyiah just had her hair braided the week before about because she said she wanted to be twins with her grAndmother. The grAndmother said she wanted to be a dancer, maybe a doctor, maybe a veterinarian. Her teachers went on And on about how special she is. She just got accepted to this charter school. She was going into the first grade. Here is the grAndmother. I dont feel safe for me or my family. She didnt deserve this we did nothing to anyone. Or they didnt care that the police was present. And i feel like that if they was that bold to do that, why not get out of the vehicle And walk up on your person that you are trying to hit instead of shooting into a crowd with children in it. Brian they dont care. Most of this stuff is divangs. Thats what Eric Adams was saying too. Democratic nominee destroy curtis. Because there is so much in new York City in manhattan. Eric adams came out. He is a former nypd captain. 22 years on the force. We have big critic of the force which got him on the wrong side with Bill Bratton And Ray Kelly And Bernie Kerik in the past. Many people are hopeful, fingers crossed, that he understAnds how bad crime is in the city was that one the safest in the city maybe the world. Listen to him yesterday. Our city is eroding. It really has become a place where lawlessness is the norm. That is just unacceptable. You know, we have lost our ability to understAnd what it is to be a good neighbor. Steve it is lawless in parts of new York City. There are a lot of people who are freaked out. Keep in mind, right over here, a block away is times square. We had those rAndom shootings. RAndomly a marine was hit. RAndomly a family leaving a Toy Store was hit. The city of san francisco wants to make sure that, you know, tourism is not impacted in san francisco. The city by the bay, so, yesterday, they ordered more cops deployed to the tourist spot. So that what happens here doesnt happen in san francisco. What happened outside the Gnatss Park in washington, d. C. Doesnt happen there they are anticipating a comeback. And a lot of it is driven by tourists. Ainsley Eric Adams said be a good neighbor. A simple message watching mr. Rodgers be a good neighbor. People are so selfish. They are doing what they want to do. You have gangs, violence, break up family. Steve who are they afraid of. Ainsley Richard Fowler was telling me. He was on the five yesterday he was telling me i agree grew up. His house. He lived there in the same block as this little 6yearold that was killed And he said there are tons of liquor stores. Drug deals happening. People just hang out there. There are a lot of gangs. And then the grAndmother said theyre just driving through. Cops are on the street. They have no regard for the police. They are spraying bullet throughout the neighborhood And it ends up hitting this little girl. Brian boys in crypts arent looking to be good neighbors just arrested the other day. You go back to elm fall. I do have a Friend Story unrelated to ainsleys story. Im going to hold it now talk about crime again in this three hour extravaganza. Ainsley what a tease. Stick around for that. Brian you will ainsley. Here all three hours. Now guidance from the American Academy Of Pediatrics stressing return to the classroom but only with universal masking for everyone older than 2. How dumb is that .

Ainsley very exciting, thanks, brian. Health experts at the American Academy Of Pediatrics issues new guidance returning to the classroom with universal masking for any child over the age of 2 even if theyre vaccinated. Here to react is Fox News medical Contributor Dr. Marc siegel. Good morning, dr. Siegel. Hi, ainsley how are you . Ainsley hi. Doing well. These are just recommendations. Who do the schools listen to . What do you think is going to happen in the fall . Well, recommendations, but then local ordnances may take them up And make them mAndates, right . Whats really disturbing about it is, first of all again sending the message you got the vaccine is it working . Because it is working why would you then need a Andate'>Mask MAndate. Secondly, what about natural immunity . Kids that have gotten over covid are not spreading it. Thirdly, this less than a 1 chance of a child spreading covid. The younger they are, if they have it, spreading it in the school is less than 1 . If they the idea is that kids are not Super Spreaders. I recommend masks for kids but big downside to the mask in terms slotion. Learning, learning to read. Anxiety that occurs. Rashes, dizziness. All kinds of problems. Make a Health Assessment if it takes all of that into the case. Not The Way to go here. Ains thank you, dr. Siegel. Lets talk about the origins i know you sat down with Francis Collins The National Institutes Of Health director. He says we cant exclude the Lab Leak. What else did you learn from him . Why is he saying that . What gives him that information . Well, you know, i spoke to dr. Collins head of the nih a top Geneticist Study Deed doesnt think bioengineered. Now changing to the idea talking now about petrie dishes And animals, you know, mice in the lab as opposed to what he called before Natures Bioterrorist so he has changed. Lets Take A Look. I do not believe this virus was Human Engineered but i cant exclude that there was, in fact, a laboratory that was studying the naturally occurring virus And perhaps a Laboratory Investigator got infected accidentally And then it spread out of there. That would be a Lab Leak. Why would he be changing ainsley . I will tell you why. People getting sick in the lab as he said. New structures of the virus coming out. That show it did not come from a Wet Market which dr. Collins also said. There is a lot of evidence here pointing towards Lab Leak. Why would that matter . If we had known that this was a Lab Leak like we were all talking about early last spring, we would have put a tremendous amount of pressure on the w. H. O. That was enabling china And maybe figured out where this virus came from which would have predicted what happened next. None of that happened. Its fine to be saying it now. Im glad dr. Collins is saying its a big possibility. I wish he had been saying it back last april. Ainsley last april he did send an email to dr. Fauci And the headline was Conspiracy Gain Momentum since then a lot as changed. A Lot Covid might have started in a lab And now is he changing. Thank you, dr. Siegel, for joining us. Thank you, ainsley always a pleasure. Always. Ainsley always a pleasure to have you on. Hundreds try to pass border. Retired Ice Director Tom Homan says this is the response that he expected to bidens open invitation. Priceline will partner with even more vegas hotels to turn their unsold rooms into amazing deals.

[relaxed summer themed music playing] summer is a state of mind, you can visit anytime. Savor your summer with lincoln. Steve all right. We have got some New Video showing look at this, more than 300 migrants in del rio, texas attempting to pass Border Agents into the united states. They are rsvps into the biden administrations open invitation to the u. S. Of a. Joining us now is retired acting Ice Director And Fox News contributor Tom Homan. Tom, good morning to you. Good morning. Steve you see all those people on the next can side of the border waiting to come in because they heard Joe Biden And his people say essentially, dont come, but really its Come On Over And we will let you in. Yeah, because, look, their actions speak louder than the words, they can say dont come. But these people And the cartels are pushing the fact that thousAnds are being allowed into the united states. Most are arent being detained. Being released without a Court Date with a brAnd new iphone compliments of the taxpayer. Only got to be smuggled to the border. Once they get, in the u. S. Government taxpayer funded Plane Tickets get them to their final destination. We have people criminal organizations smuggling. Steve what do you mean they give them an iphone. Some of these Contracts Ice has they are actually giving Smart Phone because they believe that Ankle Bracelets used to use are now cruel And inhumane criminalizing them for entering the country illegally. Thought ones who begged for Ankle Bracelets for years because they didnt want them locked in detention centers. They dont want Ankle Bracelets they want them released on own recognizance. Over half dont show up in court. Steve ultimately talking about the ability of the federal government to track the people down, you know, through their through the united states. But, there is you know, there is no there is no penalty for them being in the united states now. You can be in the united states i will i will really And it seems like they are not going to get in trouble. Right. Can you track them all you want. Look, this administration also decapitated ice. Ice can no longer Arrest Somebody for being here illegally there are hundreds of thousAnds of fugitives. Immigration judges ordered them removed from the And-ice'>Country And Ice cannot arrest them And execute that order anymore. Of not under this administration. Steve were going to put up real quickly a graphic that shows the number of people that came into the country in june, this past june approaching 200,000 last june, it was about 34,000. Of course, that was during the pAndemic. But, if you are trying to get into the country, who cares about that . And those numbers are just going to continue to get bigger through the summer, arent they . They are going to get bigger because, look, this administration since january, this crisis started, steve, you cant Tell Me one thing this administration has done to slow the flow. Every week they come out with another give away. We are not going to detain you or give you another Court Date. Now they want to change the rules of asylum because they know 90 dont qualify.

Brian who is the guy that had a Scheduling Conflict And couldnt go up in state . Ainsley paid 28 Million. Brian im not going to reschedule this dentist. Ainsley all i could think about daughter getting married. What would make you buy it And not go. Steve maybe its because its the first one do you really want to be on the first one.

Go 60 plus miles above the earth. Three miles further than branson. He will technically be the winner even though he goes second. Another spacecraft to go after that. Ainsley not Competition Building Roads for future generations. Ainsley we paid for that amazon. He owns amazon. Brian not like its government paid. He earned it. Ainsley all of the boxes that your daughter gets caitlin katie. She doesnt put her last name on the boxes And brian say they get so many boxes every day from amazon. Brian katie. No last name.

Steve And your wife wrote us a very nice thank you note. Pete im sure she did. She is always cleaning up after me thats the truth of the matter. We will do another alexis live 9 30 this morning. Covered the big on stage. Its like a rock concert. You feel like you are performing when you really just giving a good old fashioned speech. Thats what i tried to do yesterday. Focus on the culture And the fact that, you know, Andrew-breitbart'>Andrew Breitbart famously said politics is downstream of culture. When i tried to focus on actually my pastor said it from the pulpit. Actually culture is down stream faith. What you believe in reminding myself like what we have to do a day that the big values, And-country'>God And Country is are what we have to be grounded in if we are going to keep this public. A lot of themes like that that we heard from the stage And fireworks. I never new good old fashioned fireworks. I will take it pretty cool down here. Brian much like acdc similar show. Ainsley like to travel. We like you to challenge you on this And-country'>God And Country thing. Ainsley, go ahead. You are upset by that . Ainsley i loved your speech And not upset by it. Im sorry you say faith, family And freedom. Faith, family And freedom. Those are the f words right now fighting over our founding whether its good or not. Its those Faith Line things. You guys know that come on. Steve you are doing it here on fox by The Way Turning Point streaming all. If you dont have it free month go Fox Nation. Com And enter the Promo Code sas And you will see mr. Pete there live. Peter, thank you very much. Brian meanwhile jed Joe Biden comes out And gives a speech he squints into the camera And tells everybody to get a vaccine And yells at you And tells great idea about economics if money is going if inflation is going up And our deficit is going up, i have a great idea. Lets spend money we dont have on programs we cant afford. And as your head was spinning on that, he opened up for questions. The first question he actually thanked the questionnaire because it was gave him a chance to do some, i guess, patchwork on a ridiculous statement he made on friday that facebook was killing people. Here he is addressing that remark two days later. Whats your message to platforms like facebook . Theyre killing people. I mean, look, the only pAndemic we have is among the unvaccinated. And that And theyre killing people. Facebook, of all the misinformation, 60 of the misinformation came from 12 individuals. Facebook isnt killing people. These 12 people are out there giving misinformation. Anyone listening to it is getting hurt by it its killing people. Its bad information. My hope is that facebook, instead of taking it personally that somehow im saying that facebook is killing people, that they would do something about the misinformation. Brian why would they take that personally in they are so sensitive. Ainsley come on, you are just saying this because you didnt reach the Vaccine Goal on July 4th of having 70 vaccinated. Steve he miss it by a mile. Of course it all got started on thursday when Jen Psaki said flagging problematic for facebook. Hey, get rid of all these people posting all this stuff. The disinformation it that he is referring, to number two on the list is bobby Kennedy Jr. Who is a big prolific antivaxer. He is one of the sources. But rather than just call him up. He is from the most prominent democratic family in america, rather than calling him up And saying bobby, Come On Over, lets talk about this, they gave the list to facebook And said do something about it yesterday, she, Jen Psaki said, do you know what . We are not asking them to take things down. She walked back everything And said the White House not flagging posts for facebook to censor as she originally said. But now said they are not asking facebook to block any individual post. So they it has really hit the fan because, think about. Brian does anyone believe that. Steve the biden people are getting from facebook And for them to say hey, you are killing people. That doesnt help them. Brian they told us last week they are working with facebook. And say they are killers. Now say they are not working with facebook. Ainsley And not killers. Brian people against Vaccines Period we see them every day in life. There is people think that its linked to autism. We have had that debate on our show. We have had guests on that. I didnt know it was illegal to post that. Ainsley we all have the information. Blame game what you are reading on facebook. Pete And all of our reporters are down there interviewing these students. They say we like to have all the And-information'>Research And Information And let us make up our own minds dont take away our freedom of speech. We all know that masks help us. We know there is social distancing. We know there are three different vaccines we can get that are readily available in the u. S. We have the information. Now its Up To you to make your own mind up after you meet your doctor. After you talk with the medical expert. Not trying to play doctor. Up to you to make up your own mind. Brian i recommend that everyone read the Wall Street Journal Editorial personal Prude Dense is fine. People can calculate their own tolerance. Politicians should take lockdowns the biggest mistake of the pAndemic off the table. 80 of those 6560 of all adults fully vaccinated. This is not something for the government to get involved with at this point. The biden administration they go on to say has made a huge mistake promising miracles of beating covid. Theyre blaming tech companies, republican run states who wont persuade the vaccine doubters, they never real. Some honest realism about Covid Persistence might. Also, Locking Down will do nothing for americans except breed more resentment. Steve right. Because we dont ever want to have another lockdown like that. We found out after we had locked down there is certain, to your point, ainsley, you wear a mask, you social distancing. And wearing plexiglass And the numbers started of going down. Real lifesaver has been the vaccine can you get it if your doctor says you are okay for it get it will save your life. But, at the same time, to the White Houses point there has been a lot of misinformation out there. However, Ben Domenech last night had this observation about that And how it figures in to pressuring the Big Social Media companies. This really does betray a certain aspect of the failure of the approach when it comes to our government over the past several months And getting people vaccinated as i have said before, the real reason that people arent doing this or you have seen the levels of vaccination slow have to do with Government Policies themselves. When people were promised if you get vaccinated there will be results, positive results And they see these different policies across the country being rolled back, the potential for mask Monday Dates to come back And the like, this has an effect where that lever being pulled means that people say well then why should i even bother being vaccinated . Brian remember they told us services they told us Outside Wear Activist that. Now we know its almost impossible. Services are almost impossible to get it if you are vaccinated you should not wear Activist Movement im waiting for them to reverse that because of political pressure. Cdc said you are vaccinated no mask. A month ago . Are we going to believe it today. Thats the most ridiculous thing. Thats why people have no faith because they change with politics in those emails with the teachers unions revealed all that the Ideas Policy becomes what the teachers unions want. You lost me with that. Steve part of the problem now we heard have from so many people And heard from the governor in New Jersey yesterday, the pAndemic now is with the people who are unvaccinated. Given the fact that the most of the rules, the guidelines, for instance, in this building, in this building if you have had the vaccine, you dont have to wear a mask. But if you have not had the vaccine you need to still wear a mask. There are a lot of people who are in situations where they are in building, where you are supposed to be masked if you are not vaccinated but they are faking it. And they are not wearing it ultimately then, they are spreading it to other people. Brian but you dont get it if you are vaccinated, so you are only putting yourself at Risk Or Somebody else who isnt vaccinated at risk. The percentage is so small unless you dont want to believe the numbers, there really isnt a risk. So people are just taking their own health in their own hAnds which is called The Way the united states of america usually exists. Ainsley lets talk about immigration, speaking of the united states. Some people want to be here in our country they are down on our southern border in the dell reosector. Cubans, venezuelans And haitians 300 of them. Steve a mob scene. Ainsley trying to let one family at a time in. Instead they all forced their way through the gate. It turned into a mob scene. You are right, steve. Steve it did. Soon after single adults And others not chosen attempted to force their way through the gate along with the family. Because they have been hearing, you know, when Joe Biden was rubbing, he said, if i win, youre going to be welcome to the united states. Well, you know what . They want to get in before its too late. Even though the administration says dont come the message is we are going to let you. In look at all those people who are come in. Tom homan had this observation in the last hour right here about how the administration is doing nothing to stop the surge, which is surgeoning. Their actions spook louder than the words. They can say dont come. These people And the cartels are pushing the fact that thousAnds are being allowed into the united states. Most arent being detained. Since january this crisis started, steve, you cant Tell Me one thing this administration has done to slow the flow. Every week they come out with another give away. We are not going to detain you. We are not going to give you a Court Date. Recently they want to change the rules of asylum because they know 90 dont qualify. Now they are changing the rules where more people qualify which will bring more people to the border. Its going to get worse, watch And see. Brian let me tell you the worse is coming in september. Do you know what it is . They will try to jam in this Reconciliation Bill Immigration Infrastructure down our throat legalizing that chaos on the border. The same president that squints into the camera, Struggle Glick to make out what the prompter says, saying you better be responsible for get vaccinated is allowing people from hundreds of countries, thousAnds of people on a daily basis. Almost 200,000 last month to come in without Vaccination Cards no idea their medical history And let loose on the infrastructure of our country. Dont Tell Me you care about our health. Set Release Title 42 allows you to say in an a medical emergency shut down the border. Get rid of that And let another 200 to A Million people in without w. Absolutely knowing nothing about their medical history. Yet, you want to know what im doing at the Movie Theater or in my Office Space or at a restaurant . You cant have it both ways And ask for credibility from this country. Ainsley so Ron Desantis said he was talking to barred agent or some of the officers down in texas. And this is interesting. They told him almost 70 of those that they are they are coming in contact with down at the border on their way to the state of florida. Steve where are you going . Florida. Ainsley 2,000 appear bree hences, 100 felony arrest. Almost 70 of everybody they have come in contact with their ultimate destination is florida. Brian republican run states that seem to be working out And allow the thing called freedom. By The Way, are we going to knock on their doors to find out if theyre vaccinated or not with their army of Biden Engineers . I cant wait to see how that goes. Steve ultimately to Ron Desantis point if you have thousAnds of people coming into the country who ultimately will need some sort of Government Assistance, where is that money going to be coming from . Is it going to be coming from Uncle Sam . Brian yes. Steve i think he would like it to. But nobody has authorized that money. Brian yes, they have. They have repurposed the money to build Migrant Facilities from pAndemic aid. I think 600 Million just for the hotel stays over the last month. From the 188,000 that are here. Were paying for all of this. Nice Hotel Rooms from people from other countries. While in canada we wont let the Toronto Blue Jays in because were concerned about them but were going to allow our gates to open from everywhere else. Steve thats when theyre coming into the country. When they actually come to the states, then they are part of the community. And if they need Government Assistance Brian Britain they get it. Steve where does that money come from . Taxes. Ainsley carley has our headlines. Carley we will start your headlines with this. Police in washington, d. C.

Ainsley during the height of the g. O. P. Debate House Leadership the next guest shut down by twitter from posting a tweet from the President Trump worked for Clay Lee the spokesperson nor the white House Elise Stefanik taking that drive to fight Big Tech And turning it into a run for office. In a Network Exclusive Caroline Left joins us now with her exciting announce Cair Line tell us what the big announcement is why you are doing this thank you for having me on this morning. My name is caroline. I was born And raised in this state in a Small Business Blue Collar middle class family. I quickly learned growing up working at my familys Ice Cream stAnd everything is earned in life i applied for position in his White House in 2018. Fight every single day to combat the biased fake news media. Following the election i went to Capitol Hill to fight with Elise Stefanik i was proudly her spokeswoman when i was working for her i tweeted out a statement from President Trump endorsing elise for the House Leadership And-twitter'>Position And Twitter took my account down in just hours. They gave no warning. They gave no reason. They said it was an error that error only happens to conservatives. Happening to conservatives like myself across our country. President trump was right when he said if they can censor And silence him. They can censor anyone. Thats why im stAnding Up To run for congress because when conservatives like myself feel like we dont have a voice And i want to ensure that especially my generation And those younger than me have one. Because our conservative values And principles are what make this country great And we need to fight for. They. Ainsley you were telling me earlier that your generation is brainwashed by Big Tech. Explain that. Absolutely. My generation is absolutely brainwashed by Big Tech, by the mainstream media, by hollywood, by cancel culture And by Higher Education our Taxpayer Funded Teachers are indoctrinating our students, not educating them. The thats why as a cAndidate for congress i will be talking about school choice. Important issue on the minds of as cross New Hampshire And our country. We as republicans need to Take A Look in the mirror And realize we are losing with my generation. My generation voted overwhelmingly for President Biden. If we want to change that trend, we need to start electing young cAndidates to office to start changing some minds. Young people built this great nation. Our founding fathers were young when they signed the constitution. The men who stormed the beaches of normAndy And turned the tide of the World War were young. Ainsley you are 23 years old. You would be 25 if you beat the incumbent which is a democrat. Yes, thats absolutely right. I would be the first republican woman from New Hampshire to be elected. Its an historic race all eyes on New Hampshire. I have been crisscrossing the state let me tell you the energy here for Conservative Change is real. My representative is a puppet for Nancy Pelosi he votes with her almost 100 percent of the time he acts And talks like a moderate but is he a radical. Thats why im asking all of your viewers please to join me in the fight. Lets do this for the future of our country. Lets do this to advance the america first agenda. Its caroline for congress. Com. Karoline with a k. Karoline for coming. Com. Ainsley karoline left. Scooping Ice Cream to it White House And possibly coming. Wish you all the best im sure your parents are prout of you. Thanks, karoline. Dr. Ben carson taking up the fight against critical Race Theory. How he says his upbringing taught him to stabbed against indoctrination And we are getting closer to the historic Blue Oorigin spaceflight. We have a live report from the launch site. Steve 87 minutes from right now Amazon Founder Jeff Bezos is set to travel from space on board the new shepard rocket. Crews transporting the rocket to the Launch Pad just moments ago. Jeff paul is as close as he can get in Van Horn, texas. Jeff, there are no public viewing areas, so you are a ways back. The best place to see it is going to be on tv. Yeah, best place will be on tv. Just to give you an idea. You can see some of the lights behind us. Thats actually just a barn where they keep the spacecraft. So we are about three miles away from the launch site. As you said, the closest we can get. We are learning that, again, the spacecraft named the new shepard after allen shepard, the First American In Space was wheeled out. Rolled out to the Launch Pad And the crew is in their final stages of preparation And, again, just a really Big Day for not only Jeff Bezos but for the future of Space Tourism And space exploration. Bezos taking a big step but also joining another Billionaire Virgin galactic founder Richard Branson who did the same thing with his team about nine days ago. Much different operations though. You know, you look at Virgin Galactic. They have a Space Plane with Blue Origin not like your traditional rocket it takes off vertically. Once it is launched into space that booster that got the capsule to space will then lAnd vertically to be reused later. Whereas Bransons Ship it lAnded like the Space Shuttle would. So bezos And team hoping to lAnd safely in a capsule via parachute. Jeff bezos though talking about, obviously, their operations are much different than Virgin Galactic but the sort of goal And the future of Space Travel And tourism is sort of the same. This is a tourism mission. Its very important because it lets us practice And it will let more people get up into space. That practice is what will allow us to build the infrastructure to let the next generations of people really do amazing things in space. Now, steve, another big difference between this flight And the last flight that we watched is that this will be fully automated. So no pilots on board. As of now, it looks like conditions are holding up And we are hoping to have that 9 00 a. M. Eastern launch. Steve . Steve thank you very much. Just before they do launch, we have assembled a panel of Spacex to do the analysis And tell us what we are going to see. International Ander'>Space Station CommAnder, Bill Nelson Nsa Administrator And Eileen Collins the first female commAnder of a Space Shuttle. So its a Big Day in space. You will see it right here on Fox Friends. Brian . Brian all right, meanwhile, accomplished neurosurgeon former president ial cAndidate And served as the secretary of housing And urban development did a great job. Dr. Ben stellar did a great job. Thats why he is warning about the dangers of critical Race Theory. He wrote an oped for foxnews. Com. Growing up poor in detroit if i had believed that my destiny was based on my race i am not be where i am today. We cannot allow crt to rob american children of that same hope instilled on me. Former Hud Secretary Dr. Ben carson joins us now. We had not made the progress we had made on Race Relations that we have in 2021 when you were growing up. Why do you think that those conditions of you growing up as adversarial as they were made you who you are . Well, i had a mother who insisted that i read there were all kind of negative people around me who were saying you cant succeed. The system is stacked against you. Racism will keep you from being whatever you want to be. But, when i read those books, And i read about scientists And explorers And surgeons And entrepreneurs, i began to see that the person who had the most to do with what happens to you is you. Its not the society. Its not people who get in your way. There are people in The Way. Things have changed pretty dramatically since then. When i was a kid And a black person came on television who wasnt an aservant. So exciting. Everybody would come running into the living room. We dont have that situation today. Now we have black generals, And admirals, And ceos of Fortune 500 companies And Ivy League University president s. President of the united states. A Vice President. This is not to say that everything is fine And that there is a panacea but things have dramatically improved. We need to continue to work on it And then we need to also understAnd whats going on with this critical Race Theory where we are trying to teach people that the color of their skin is the major determinant in their life. How does that make any sense . The same people who say that say that something so hard wired like your sex doesnt matter. You can determine that based on how you feel. I mean, really is illogical quite frankly. And we need to get rid of it. Brian i want to bring to you your last sentence. If there is any Sell Investor Lining in marxist aggressive zeal its that the efforts are waking up the Nation Lake few issues in recent memory. Mobilizing citizens around the country so being ask ourselves why And-america'>Capitalism And America matters could be a good thick. I think its a very good thing. Frog in a simmerly can slowly turning up the heat. Now somebody turned it up full force And the frogs are jumping out And speaking up. Thats good. Because thats what america is. And american people are smart. They are not just stupid little sheep. And thats very different from a lot of other places in the world. Thats why this is not going to succeed. Brian not only did you grow Up To become a surgeon, one of the best in the world. And you werent done yes. And then you served in government And you havent stopped. Who knows maybe another run for president. Dr. Ben carson. Thanks so much for putting it all in perspective. Thank you, brian.

Com back stage here at Turning Point at the Student Action summit out there a couple thousAnd young people. Really the future of the conservative movement.

America is the most free, most just, most diverse, most tolerant, most prosperous, most powerful And most Awesomeness Country The World has ever seen. We Cant Lie to ourselves anymore And say well, we can just kind of be the closeted conservatives doing our thing. You are going to have to be the counter revolutionary. Keep reading. Keep studying.

Today he put on a jacket. But it is still the same guy. Pete, that was great yesterday. Really what you are talking about with the young people there at Turning Point Student Action summit down in tampa is america is at a Turning Point. And its Up To them to help make sure that things go The Way you would like them to. Pete very much. So And understAnding history is a big part of understAnding where we are. Were its critical Race Theory or socialism. Its the tip of an iceberg of a left Wing Project thats been going on for over 100 years. In fact, i have got a series coming out on Fox Nation in september. I dont think we have released a title yet. I believe its going to be miseducation of america. Which is about the 100 year progressive takeover. And the first thing they did was take god out of education, out of our schools. Now they are going for the flag And going for whether or not america is a good country. UnderstAnding where we came from is a part of understAnding this as you said, steve, Turning Point moment we are in so that we can fortify ourselves to stAnd for the basics. Freedom, faith, capitalism, equal justice, all the things that our Declaration Set in motion some 245 years ago. This audience gets it And i encourage them to keep reading, keep studying And, yes, keep praying our country under god in god we trust when we forget that, we will lose it. And the speakers youve heard on the stage over the last couple of days hit on similar themes. If you want encouragement for our country go to Fox Nation. Check out these speeches. You can watch them one by one or watch them life today. And its good on Fox Nation for exposing the rest of the country to it a couple thousAnd people in the Auditorium Or Convention Center But Everyone has access to it now thanks to Fox Nation. Ainsley get a free month if you use sas Student Action summit. We want you to weigh in on this. The pentagon is saying they will use Military Bases to house thousAnds of afghan interpreters. Whats your reaction to that . I think its great And long overdue. Leave mission there you Cant Leave allies that fought shoulder to shoulder behind. Especially if were using same facilities or similar ones to house migrants breaking our laws to cross the border. The least we could do is to help out those And i know some of them personally who we fought with who deserve to be protected from what will be a taliban onslaught to kill them to find them, target them And kill them. Psychological intimidation now. Consolidating those gains later. I hope they do it expeditiously. Every day matters with these folks under threat. Brian President Bidens brilliant Pullout Kabul rocketed yesterday. No Peace Talks ongoing right now. Pete, thank you so much. See you soon when you wear a tie in studio. Pete not today. Brian i know.

Steve 43 years ago our next guest left the soviet union for a life of And-opportunity'>Freedom And Opportunity here in the united states And now she shes calling on immigrants to reject the new american hatred, arguing that declaring love for your country should not make people uncomfortable, yet it does. Joining us right now, to mark this special day is today new York Post columnist Karol Markowicz And karol, it was on this day, July 20, that you came to the united states And you regard this as your americavers ary, right . I wake up on July 20 feeling like its my birthday. Its a really big danica my house. My mom And i, tonight were all going to go out And celebrate. We treat it like the day we were born. We came to the u. S. , our lives really started, And i was born in the soviet union in russia, And it was, your life was sort of going to go a certain way, And then we got extremely lucky And ended up in america, And its been just a miracle. We acknowledge that And we know how amazing it is to be here And so we dont have any problems saying america is the greatest country thats ever been, And theres no issue with that. Steve And you clearly love america, And you were a patriot And in your piece, ive got a quote, not the one well use in the teleprompter, you write its a Test Moment to be a patriot. Radicals are rewriting our history, framing america not as a shiny beacon of freedom but as a pit of wickedness. So when you look at what is going on in the united states right now, how do you feel about the people who are squAndering what a great country we have . I just think they dont know i think that they really dont understAnd whats out there. I think they dont get that theres a big world out there And america, for all of the things that we might have done wrong in our history, were nowhere near, you know, the other countries And the crimes that they committed. Its just you have to look at history in more than just a myop ic, very americacentric way And look, america, again, is imperfect. Were going through a lot of things right now but i believe in us And i think that we have a really strong foundation that were really a beacon to people all around the world who want to be freed. Theres a reason they wave those american flags. We are that hope for those people. Steve sure And i know last week when you saw the people in havana waving the flags, it was all over again for you, And at the conclusion of your piece you talk about how do i pass along my effortless love of this country to my children . How do you do that . Its tough, so again, my russian community, i dont know if people are aware of this but exsoviet people who live in the united states are the most patriotic. Shout out to my community, we are americaloving people And its really tough to say, you know, to pass that along to our kids who have had every benefit of living here without any of the struggle. They dont know what their grAndparents went through. I mentioned in the piece my mother never saw her father again. That was just a sacrifice she had to make to get her kids to freedom to get her kids a better life. My kids dont understAnd that. They grew up in brooklyn And live a life of freedom already. Its hard but we talk about it all the time, about how lucky they are And how blessed they are to be here. Steve well you feel blessed to be here And you regard today as your americaversary. Its like a birthday but then again you also have a birthday in april, April 18 so you get two birthdays youre so lucky. Thats right but this is the main one. Steve it is indeed. Her oped is terrific, read it at new yorkpost. Com. Karol thank you very much. Thank you.

American people are smart. We are getting closer to the historic Blue Origin Space Flight. This is a fully automated flight, so that means there will be no pilots on board. I am excited but not anxious well see how i feel when im strapped into my seat. [laughter] brian you know, he might be the second billionaire to launch in two weeks but hes certainly front And center right now im talking about the guy who founded amazon against all odds And we know how successful that has been And then he founded Blue Origin program, And now, it is about to go into space, with him in it, if you want to prove Theres Something safe, become a billionaire, the richest man in the world And go up in that rocket. Itll be a lot easier to sell seats. Ainsley theyre taking off at 9 00 this morning were being told the astronauts will walk about 8 15 And leave the Training Center And head over to well be breaking in with all of this news over the next hour And then at the top of the hour at 9 00 Bill Hemmer will take over And well watch the launch. Steve thats right And as you can see up in your corner were T Minus 58 minutes And 18 seconds right now. You know, Richard Branson was able to beat him into space, but theres a reason Jeff Bezos wanted to take off today, And its historic it was 52 years ago today, that apollo 11 lAnded on the moon, people walked on the moon, And so its a symbolic day, And thats why he is taking up his brother, And the youngest passenger, And the oldest passenger, more history today. Brian hes got another ship ready to go its called the new glenn thats going to go to the moon And he hopes to lAnd And they want to stay And Elon Musk is in this race with Spacex And he wants to go to mars And he would like to stay. He thinks were going to break this planet And hes convinced we need another planet. I would choose neptune but i just dont have the rocket right now or the money. Ainsley you used to say plato. Brian right i want to get a little closer. Its cold, pluto. Ainsley we will continue to break in with any information we have with that, were excited about it. Steve right And were going to have a simpled a great Space Panel to discuss what happens brian on earth. Steve about 10 minutes before they take off. We will do that. In the meantime lets blast off to tampa, where theyve been having the Student Action summit , the s. A. S. With Turningpoint Usa And our buddy Pete Hegseth from the Weekend Show is down there right now, And youve had a full plate of activities so far. Pete that right. Good morning, i have a plan guys i think we should pool our money , you guys have a lot more than me have well put it all in a pot. Steve not really. Pete if this flight goes well well get one seat And draw straws And One Of Us from Fox Friends will get on one of these future flights after pooling our money. Brian you know whats going to happen though . Steve its about 50 million, its a big pool. Brian just knowing pete its Enterprise Reporter Lawrence jones will end up reporting on his flight, And thats going to be the problem. Ainsley he said he couldnt fit in a rocket. Pete hes a big dude. Ainsley how about the guys that paid 28 Million And decided hes not going to go. He has some sort of a conflict. Pete it was a dental appointment that was difficult to reschedule. Brian [laughter] you were right. Pete its terrible. Its like three months later youve got to do it. Brian i do need a second source that was just a hunch it is anonymous its an 11 minute flight, three minutes of Weight Lessness And the biggest windows they lAnd back to earth And the good news is even though the billionaire can afford another rocket this is reuseable And go up there again. Pete its pretty cool And this is ultimately its a miracle of capitalism. Its a reflection of our entrepreneurial system, that we seem to want to reject today. That we seem to want to think was something we can take for granted And then thats part of the theme here at Turning Point, the doors just opened how cool is it to see young High Schoolers And young college students get up early in the morning put on nice clothes, wait in line to hear political speeches to reinforce the values that have made our country great, to include capitalism, i had a chance to speak yesterday its on Fox Nation, at 9 30, And while youre watching the Space Flight check out all access live on Fox Nation, Kayleigh Mcenany And myself will be recapping all of the big events And stuff you should be checking out on Fox Nation, And again, a free month if you use the code s. A. S. For anybody who wants to check this out. Brian pete one thing thats clear you go big. You demAnded a big stage. You demAnded your name And big lights. Ainsley fireworks. Brian And you wanted fireworks if you can meet those demAnds you could have pete at your event. If you do those three things. Pete too easy thats it. Steve just like that. Ainsley i know they loved you. Youre Fox Nation tshirt. Your tattoos showing. Brian yeah or abs. Good abs And tattoos usually do it. Pete you guys, i cant. I cant. Ainsley And good hair. Brian very good hair. Brian expensive gel. You should get a gel sponsor. Pete i should actually. Steve look at this , this just goes to show the Breaking News Nature of this hour because its you And Blue Origin right there. Pete oh, wow. That is the most unlikely combination to ever exist at all steve because were tminus 54 minutes away And Jeff Bezos is in the cap youll. Ainsley were having a debate. How do you say bezos . Brian i think its bezos. Ainsley you say bezos And i say bezos. Pete either way hes got more money than us. Ainsley thats right. Steve in the meantime we move on. Ainsley okay this morning, top coronavirus advisors are set to testify on Capitol Hill. Steve it comes as dr. Fauci is defending a new push to have kids as young as three years old mask up this coming school year. Brian his head shots from 198t different now, Griff Jenkins is live in washington as the dow plunges amid Delta Variant concerns And more perhaps lock down. Griff . Griff thats exactly right, brian, ainsley, steve, good morning. Wall street may want to buckle up when it opens in about 54 minutes because did you see what it did yesterday . Stocks tanked. The dow down 725 points, rally ing back from being down more than 900 at one point, it was the worst close since october, And overnight, already, were seeing markets in asia all down And its all driven by ris ing covid fears. This as dr. Fauci And Cdc Director will face questions over whether the Cdc Ended the Andate'>Mask MAndate for vaccinated americans too soon. What youre seeing here now is nationwide, 48. 6 million americans are fully vaccinated, 56 have gotten at least one shot, but cases are up due to that delta darien. 107 nationwide in last two weeks And some areas like la county have reinstated Andate'>Mask MAndates while others in the san francisco Bay Area And Southern Nevada are pushing for msciing up again And meanwhile, the American Academy Of Pediatrics wants everyone, older than two years old, vaccinated or not, to mask up. And fauci backs that guidance. When you have a degree of viral dynamics in the community, And you have a substantial proportion of the population that is unvaccinated, then you really want to go the extra step , the extra mile to think thats a reasonable thing to do. Griff earlier this morning on Fox Friends first, Fox News medical Contributor Dr. Marty makary had this to say. Theres been absolutely no data on masks in kids who are vaccinated And many of us think that that vaccinated protection is pretty good to reduce transmission significantly. Plus a lot of kids struggle with masks. Griff something else that may come Up Today at the senate hear ing with dr. Fauci, he already said this morning he would not be surprised if schools began requiring vaccinations for kids to go bac well see where that goes, brian , ainsley, steve. Steve griff we thank you very much, griff mentioned at the beginning did you see what happened on Wall Street yesterday. Wall street sold off more than 2 , theres some worry that the coronavirus is going to slow down the recovery, thank you very much, griff, or there could be some more lockdowns And the Wall Street journal says essentially, look, covid is going to be here for the rest of our lives. Weve got to figure out how to manage our lives within covid without a lockdown because we can do life normally, we just Cant Lock it down again. That was a big mistake. Ainsley hard to leave if this was created in a lab, killed millions of people around the world, more than 600 here in the u. S. , And its just beginning And there could be more And more variants of this And we could be masked up what for the rest of our lives now . Brian forget that. And lockdowns And Wall Street journal i thought put it great today. They said well always have this with us And here is just an excerpt from it. Lets hope the political class has learned lessons from the last 18 months, namely that covid will always be with us And that we have to live with it without shutting down the economy. Continuing quarantine mAndates on nonsymptomatic vaccinated people will prevent a return to normalcy so will reimposing Andate'>Mask MAndates as Los Angeles County did this weekend. Lets hope people understAnd it is counter productive to do it. Especially when you start up businesses again And then you go to start with the Andate'>Mask MAndates And next thing, lets separate the tables And then we have to lay you off And well never get these workers back especially if you tell us that the vaccines are that effective, then what are we hiding from . Ainsley some of the governors are saying absolutely not, were not mAndating masks in our state , florida is one, south carolina, Washington State said theyre not ready for that yet And the other one was texas. Steve also yesterday up in provincetown, massachusetts they said given theres been such an outbreak after a lot of 4th of July Parties up in cape cod, they are having a mAsk Advisory. They advice people to wear masks indoors. Ultimately, The Way i feel, is that if the price of not Locking Down, if the price of not closing schools if the price of having kids in school is to have a mask, if thats what the scientists say right now, have a mask until we figure it out. Dr. Marc siegel was on a little while ago And has this observing about what is going on with the science. First of all again sending the message. You got the vaccine, is it working because it is working And why would you then need a Andate'>Mask MAndate . Secondly, what about natural immunity . Kids that have gotten over covid are not spreading it. Thirdly, this less than a 1 chance of a child spreading covid. The idea is that kids are not Super Spreaders. I recommend masks for kids but theres a big downside to the masks in terms of socialization, learning, learning to read, youve got to make a public Health Assessment that takes all of that into the case, And mAndates are not The Way to go here. Brian theyre not And kids if you look at the numbers, it is 0 chance that kids are going to get it, there are less people, more people that die of a cold than die of the covid19 virus. You should not be wearing a mask in school up until 17. Teachers have been vaccinated, kids have an option i guess 12 17, you go do it And if you get it, And are vaccinated, the symptoms arent going to be strong And even if its more spreadable they say this variant is not more lethal so thats important. The emotional damage that is to kids especially preschoolers And Grammar School res, because they cant smile. They have no idea about any emotions. These are the things you dont think about but you should know about because you have a six yearold. If a Kid Cant see , show fear, or see fear, understAnd laughter, understAnd happiness, or indecision, they havent seen that in 18 months, And then youll tell a kid with a 0 chance of getting it, spreading it And suffering from it, that they should wear a mAsk All day when its most likely going to be dirty, wear it over their eyes or down on their chin . Forget it. You should be able to go to school And learn. Its been 18 months. Ainsley i understAnd if you have an elderly parent at Andparent'>Home Or GrAndparent at home And you dont want the child to get the Delta Variant, bring it home And it infects that person maybe that person isnt able to get vaccinated And that is the worry. Brian thats rare. Ainsley but to your point, i do have friends that have children, even smaller than my daughter, they are young, learning their language skills, And they cant see the teachers mouth, they cant, the Teacher Cant see their mouth, there are delay s, weve been on the road so many times interviewing parents. Brian it tells the kid when they are wearing a mask, dont talk, shut up And its very unhealthy. Steve but if the choice is if you want the kid brian but whose making that choice, steve . Steve brian, it all goes to ainsley i know what youre saying id much rather my daughter be in school with a mask than be at home. Brian but that is a choice by people who have been infected by teachers unions. Weve seen the And-paste'>Cut And Paste from the cdc, from the teachers unions into their doctrine so that is not the choice. We should be going through. Ainsley listen were going to do what they tell us to do And were going to follow the rules its frustrating because we dont want to go back to the mask but if we have to we will we dont have a choice. Lets move on. Brian whose telling us . They keep contradicting each other. Steve all right lets talk about something else, impacting everybody in the use of america, it seems And that is the rise in crime. Leo terrell, Fox News contributor And civil rights attorney, joins us right now live as we look at Master Control for Blue Origin. Good morning to you, leo. Ainsley hi, leo. Good morning, everyone. How are you . Steve were doing okay, And in about 40 minutes were going to see Jeff Bezos blast off, but nonetheless, theres been such a rise in crime in the last week or so. We saw the Nats Game Saturday Night where people were running for their lives because these brazen people started shooting out of the side of a grey toyota which they did recover today And then the sixyearold shot down on the streets of washington d. C. You see the marine getting shot here in times square, And the family coming out of a Toy Store, leo, its gotten to the point where here in new York City, one of the presumed winner s, Eric Adams for mayor, is now finally saying you know what . I think maybe we need to revamp bail reform, because too many people dont know that there are no consequences. They can get arrested but they are immediately going to be released. You know what, steve . I have a problem with any of these democratic mayors or democratic mayoral cAndidates like Eric Adams. You just cannot leave what comes out of their mouth. I dont trust him. I believe the police union, And let me tell you right now. Until Eric Adams openly criticized the progressive left, openly Cant Leave him. I cant trust him. He has to throw those individuals under the bus for him to have any credibility on the issue of really supporting Law Enforcement reducing crime. Brian my hope is his Track Record does improve, what kind of Mayor Hell be because hes been very critical of police And Law Enforcement. These police chiefs And cops on the streets arent convinced hes the guy hes portraying himself. My hope is he looked at the reality And he knows he cant have those beliefs And run a city. Well And see thats the thing about it, brian. Hes playing both sides. He went to the White House last week And kissed a ring of President Biden talking about gun control. Im telling you, they dont, democratic mayors have no credibility. They have t openly criticize the progressive left. They have to openly criticize the squad And say i dont agree with them. I believe in supporting the police until you hear that dont believe them. Ainsley leo, the astronauts are walking out And this is the training facility, they are getting in the car right now, this suv, And they will head over to the rocket. Brian i believe thats not a rental. I think he bought that right out steve they are only using it one day, it could be a rental so the people strapped into the capsule very shortly, Jeff Bezos And his Brother Mark, female Aviation Trailblazerser 82yearold And shes from texas wally funk, And these images are from texas as we scan over And look at that generator. Ainsley you have to wonder how they are feeling right now. Steve you got to figure they are excited but at the same time terrified And 18yearold Oliver damon, a Touch Teenager whose dad is the ceo of a private Equity Firm. They are going to drive them over to the Launch Pad where they just brought the rocket out ainsley good news is they have launched it 15 times without anyone on board And the capsule lAnded safely every single time. Brian the thing thats going to be different is they are going to go 62 miles above the earth. Branson went 53 miles above the earth. They are going to be weightless for about three minutes, And as ainsley mentioned, they tested this 15 times And in Case Something does go wrong even though theres no pilot on board they say they have a great Escape System so i assume theyve been through that before. Ainsley they were practicing it yesterday. Brian i just dont think they need somebody on board, even with any experience it seems, it looks as though they are going to go up And come down And then its going to be private industry might indeed be taking over. Think about the engineers that got their jobs, think about the hirings that have taken place, the salaries that are there, And think about the 12 13yearolds or 9yearolds watching saying i want to be part of that program, like they did in the 60s when they watched Jfk Layout the gauntlet And being pulled off by richard nixon. Steve you know, im kind of surprised they are in that particular suv driving over. You almost would think they be in an amazon truck. I mean, that be ainsley right wouldnt that be great . Steve thank you, thank you, ill be here all week. That is something like Richard Branson whose a real promoter would have probably had done, but you know when they talk about the , in Case God forbid anything were to go wrong And there you can see some of the people who worked on the crew, because spectators are not being allowed near the site there at Van Horn in texas, way out in the desert is that once it goes up the rocket is going to go ahead And release the capsule And then the rocket will lAnd just like we have seen Spacexs rocket lAnd. Let me just finish on the capsule And then what happens is the capsule has parachutes And it goes ahead And plummets to the earth but then it floats down, And when it hits the texas dirt, it should be going one mile an hour. Brian he grew up reading science fiction, watching space launches with his grAndfather, this is jeff, who worked at the atomic energy commission, in High School And his valedictorian speech said the future billionaire outlined his vision, space, the final front ear, meet me there was his quote. Little did he know he would go to Wall Street, become an instant success by 25, leave it all, borrow money by his parents, start amazon And put together arguably the most successful company in the world And hes not close to done yet. Ainsley to everyone on board, you have jeff And his brother And the two other astronauts they were not supposed to be paying customers one man did put in a bid for 28 Million. Steve for charity. Ainsley all the money goes to charity for this flight And he said he had a Scheduling Conflict so he pulled out And thats how this 18yearold Oliver damon was able to get on board so now they are taking the youngest And oldest person ever to go into space. His father, did his father have to pay, i know hes a paying customer but it didnt say in all of my research how much his dad, because his dad is a Hedge Fund manager. Brian must be a very profitable Paper Route if he paid for it himself. Ainsley isnt that amazing an 18yearold going into space. Brian the only one i know, bezos said he had the conviction to do big things back in 2000 when he started this Blue Origin that was the first one, he believes this is a form of philanthropy according to his Biog Grapher that by building this company And helping to usher it in a new Space Age he will be helping humanity generations from now And i cant argue with that sentiment. Ainsley And the 82yearold, the oldest person going into space, she went through all these test back in the 1960s with 12 other women for Nasas Mercury 7 but she never made it to space because they only let men into space at the time. Steve And you know, as you look at these images And keep in mind , this is a Launch Pad that was built just for the amazon project, for Blue Origin, And it all started with a dream as all of these things ultimately do. Richard branson, weve had him on this program after hes gone up in hot air balloons And hes always been an adventurer, always chased the dream, And you know what . Apparently, Jeff Bezos had the dream as well. Forget about the fact that he had a dream to start a book selling company And sell stuff online, as you watch their Suv Approach the Launch Pad. You got to figure that he is so excited, because, you know, hes got all of the money in the world. He doesnt worry about a lot of stuff that we do but this is something you just dont get to do unless ainsley you have that kind of money. Exactly hes the second person to fly his own rocket into space a week ago Sir Branson did. Steve that was a Space Plane which was really cool. Ainsley hes also a billionaire And successfully reached the edge of space. Brian said he went 53 miles up And Jeff Bezos is going 62 you said . Brian yup, yeah, And this is going to be a more traditional Rocket Launch as you could tell. He told Neil Yesterday that he is anxious but hes not nervous. He says i feel when im strapped to my seat ill be excited. He says im ready And the team is amazing And i feel very good about it. Its true. Every step of The Way hes been there for the last 21 years, he has his goal, he saw what happened last week. He And branson went back And fourth wishing each other luck. I think they are pushing each other to be better like moscow pushed washington d. C. And i think its great. He wants to be into Space Tourism. Branson wants Space Tourism. Elon musk doesnt. He wants moon, mars. Thats why Spacex is dropping people at the Space Station. He wants to build billionaires into space And then mill on millionaires And every day people for three minutes of weightlessness. Ainsley neil asked him about the competition is there competition between you And sir rich And branson And he said this is not about competition but about building a road for future generations. Steve right they say about this amazon project, their aim is to make access to space cheaper, And more reliable through reuseable launch vehicles, And that 60foot Rocket that you can see right there, is reuseable. Its been used 15 times, there you can see they are posing for a picture, i think it looks like they are waving to us, hello, everybody, we should point out that this company also is headquartered in kent, washington, just as much of Amazon Ainsley Blue Origin is . Steve yeah, the Companys Name Blue Origin refers to the blue Planet Earth as the point of origin. Brian still my favorite Planet Ainsley [laughter] steve And youre very shortly, the richest man in the world is going to leave the planet. Brian last night he had chicken thighs, And-cheese'>Mac And Cheese And black eyed peas. Id choose none of them for my last meal. Thighs . Who gets thighs . Steve oh, no, no, brian all of the good flavor is in the thigh. Brian really . Steve thats what the french cook. Brian does kraft make its And-choice'>Mac And Choice . Ainsley it might have been his moms recipe. He And his brother . Brian powdered And-milk'>Cheese And Milk thats The Way i did it. Steve in 2019, mr. Bezos unveiled blue Origins Vision for space And also plans for the Ander'>Moon LAnder, eventually in 2024, the Ander'>Moon LAnder will be known as blue moon, And ainsley as in the beer . Steve no. Ainsley i know, im kidding. Steve you know what thats not fair. If they pull out thats exactly. Ainsley so hes only going to be in space for 13 minutes . Steve yeah its really fast. Ainsley And then they come right back . Brian 11 minute flight, three minutes of weightlessness, And they come back down with a parachute And right away they queue Up To get ready with this new glenn Space Ship. Steve yeah, 11 minutes in all, ascending to that 62mile Height And release the capsule into space And then the capsule plummets to earth, like the falcon 9 And that rocket that they are ascending right there uses fins And Something Called Aerobrakes to slow And control the descent And thats whats unique about this particular, this generation of rockets. Remember, the nasa, the great big saturn 5 rockets that were many stories tall, they would just launch the spacecraft into space, And then they would plummet into the atlantic ocean when they are launched off of the Space Coast to florida And that was it. They would eventually go get them but they were not recyclable to this level. Ainsley And jeff has become so successful. Jeff bezos, 57 years old, And he generously is offering one of these seats to his brother, mark bezos whose a firefighter. He also runs a charity. Hes the Charity Executive i assume for his Brothers Charity , but i thought that was great. Hes a firefighter. Brian And they are best friends And it was interesting i had a hard time living Up To my older brother because he was a better athlete. Can you imagine if my older brother created amazon, mom just make him your favorite And get this over with. Fantastic. Ainsley im sure he shares the wealth. Brian absolutely because hes got so much of it, i dont know how he keeps track but we need people like this but i think this is the type of entrepreneurial effort that flies in the face of Everything Else going on in this country, many respects im not saying Jeff Bezos is the ultimate conservative but i would say hes the ultimate capitalist took great risk. Ainsley what would he have done during covid. Everyone was so dependent on amazon. Brian it got bigger because it served better that is not the problem. That is called the answer. Then you just think back to aoc And the contingent that what did whatever they could to make sure there was no long And-city-hub'>IslAnd City Hub for amazon, which seems folly, And also flows me away they had to walk these steps if you can afford a rocket to space, can you get an escalator . Donald trump would have lent you one. Steve well And there you can see at that top of that flights of stairs, that is the ready room, theyve obviously got their Space Suits that they are not going to wear. Brian they all choose unitards why is that . Steve because they did it on Star Trek i think. You never know. Brian its one outfit. Steve somebody will have to take off their cowboy hat, obviously, i think that is mr. Bezos in the cowboy hat, i believe And then youve got wally that is the woman whose to the second to the left, And then youve got Brother Mark And then youve got the 18yearold dutch teenager whose Ceo Father got him the free ride on this rocket. Brian they look like they are a little ahead of schedule. It says they were going to a send the tower at around 8 30 but they are a little bit ahead of schedule. The hatch is closed at 8 36 im thinking it might be closed already, at 9 00, the new shepherd will launch, pushed upwards by a powerful 60 foot tall booster rocket, And Itll Move really quick, well watch it live, And i believe if everything goes well they will kick us off the air And turn it over to Bill Hemmer And Andra-smith'>SAndra Smith taking over at the top of the hour. Steve were actually going to give it to them one minute before they take off. Brian i guess if everything goes well well see if they are willing to receive it. It still ultimately is their decision. Ainsley so blue Origin Launch ing the rocket which is the new shepherd rocket, launch ing into space at 9 00 a. M. , they are in West Texas, this Desert Area near the town of Van Horn, texas. Steve thats right if youre just joining us its 8 30 in the east its 7 30 out in Van Horn, texas, which is about as far out as you could see Jeff Bezos getting his Space Suit on, is as far out in West Texas in the desert as you can get , And it looks like a perfect day launchwise, weatherwise, And you know, youve got to figure that this is the first manned Space Flight for this particular company, but because that rocket is so automated, its gone up And down, up And down, up And down, 15 times no problems. That is why they are confident that they can put the richest man on earth in the top of it, blast them off, send him up 62 miles, And then bring him slightly higher into orbit And he will plummet to earth along with the other three in the capsule as you see members of the ready crew, it looks like they are going inside to get them ready And then they are going to take about the 20foot Walk across that Gang Plank, get into the capsule, And they will lock them in. Bellicose this is a threehorse race, we saw Richard Branson last week And Jeff Bezos this Week But Weve seen Spacex really since 2002 team up with nasa And do some incredible work that company alone from Elon Musk is worth 180 million, here is the quote. He is not into Space Travel. Musk feels like the human species could be wiped out And we need a Backup Plan on mars or somewhere else. Jeff bezos has an earth plan, And it is to get people off Earth Briefly for a lot of money And back down, And to gradually turn a profit. If amazon teaches us anything, he is not worried about a profit initially. He believes that comes down the line, And it certainly did after stops And starts And you got to feel confident Jeff Bezos that this is going to work out for you, turning a profit eventually. Ainsley as weve been saying it did launch 15 times without anyone on board And it did lAnd safely every single time but the capsule was first tested in October Of 2012 And then three years later, tested the Rocket Booster And in April Of 2015 when that booster was tested its the only time that booster did not lAnd successfully after a Test Flight , but here we are, what, six years later, And hopefully, everything will go smoothly today. Brian right i tell you, very interesting because i know Elon Musk quickly tweeted for support to Richard Branson, im very curious to see if the billionaires are tweeting each other now with tweaks. Ainsley they can learn from each other. Brian or with support. Ainsley no, support, support. You dont want anything to go wrong. Brian its not me. Steve i think that i saw that Elon Musk showed up And Richard Bransons house at 3 00 in the morning before he took off And theres the Gang Plank they are going to walk across very shortly. Speaking of the billionaires, you know, so Richard Branson beat him to space because Jeff Bezos had set today as the take off day it was 52 years ago that a pal lower class 11 lAnded on the moon And there you can see they are leaving the ready room And they are going to go across that Gang Plank And then get strapped into the Crew Capsule indeed. As i said a moment ago, the capsule, once it reaches its zenith, falls to earth its slowed by a parachute And it aims to lAnd on the Texas Desert , there it goes, mr. Bezos , And theres wally right there, oldest person ever to go into space, it should lAnd at one mile an hour. Ainsley they are ringing the bell. Steve thats what they do you got to ring the bell And if it lAnds faster than one mile an hour, the seats inside the capsule are designed to absorb the impact if it hits too hard. Ainsley lets bring in retired Eileen Collins Nasa Astronaut And first female commAnder of a Space Shuttle good morning to you. Good morning. Ainsley youre watching these images with us. Whats going through your mind . Well first of all, im a friend of wallys And im extremely happy for her. This is something she has waited literally decades for , back when she was 2 years old she wanted to fly into space. Steve tell us a little more about her. I know shes from texas. Yeah, so wally was one of what we now call the mercury 13 women. They tested back in 1961 the exact same testing that the men went through for the Mercury Program that was very stringent medical testing, mental testing, well the 13 women that were brought in, that did very well in the testing, were actually not chosen is nasa astronauts, because they were test pilots. There were no Women Test pilots back in those days so wally And the other women didnt have the chance to fly. She was 22 back then, And that was 60 years ago now, And think about it. Shes waited six decades for her dream to come true so im very happy for her. Ainsley that shows you how far weve come from womens rights too doesnt it . Yeah, well this is true And as you know, sally ride is the first american woman in 1983 thn shortly after 1961, but they have flown, i think, maybe only four women in Space Total And the united states has flown dozens of women on the Space Station And Space Shuttle, so the opportunities are out there for young women, actually, young boys watching today also, this is something that you can do. You can be a professional astronaut or fly in space And i think its very motivating And im just thrilled to see that wally has the opportunity. Brian i just think its great for the Space Program because every politician wants to cut the Space Program because theres such a battle to fund every single program. Now its getting harder And harder because this support for things like this , because of things like this. Can you tell us technologically whats going to be taking place here, because you guys at nasa were doing similar things to this in the 1970s, correct . Yeah, so you know, theres a lot we can talk about here. Id say technically, yes, what Jeff Bezos is doing today has been done before, as a sub orbital flight, they go up And come down, suborbital means they arent going around the earth. To go around the earth you need a Heat Shield on your spacecraft , but thats his next step. Hes planning on a new Glenn Rocket later which will actually go to orbit, And after that hes planning on a rocket called the new armstrong which will eventually go to the moon, but i also see this as national security issue. You can look at the Flight Today as , you know, maybe youve got some rich people And youve got the oldest person And youngest person you can look at it as , you know, maybe a stunt but i dont think thats what it is. I think that this is the more we fly, the safer itll get , the more were going to earn had , the more data we collect, the more information, this is something that the united states will be using to help us learn more And to go farther And to do exploration better. Its a Baby Step but its an important step. Brian And the difference between this And Richard Branson well, Richard Branson, i mean, he had a winged vehicle And they had many differences. He also had pilots that were flying And Richard Bransons flight that took place, you know , a little over a week ago, they were flying a winged vehicle as opposed today to, which the Flight Today is a capsule, but what they have in common is they are both sub orbital flights. Again both of those flights did not go around the earth. They went up, they came down, the flight maybe less than an hour, And they may have maybe three to four minutes of micro gravity where they can get out of their seats And float around And see the curvature of the earth, what we call see the stars at noon, And come back And say ive been over 50 miles, that qualifies me as an astronaut. Steve thats exactly right. If anybody is joining us were speaking to Eileen Collins a friend of wally funk, on board the first female commAnder of a Space Shuttle. Eileen, you know, you addressed the risk there certainly is always risk with Space Travel, even if its limited like this , but youve got to take your hat off to the fact that this is being funded, you know, there is some Nasa Influence here, but this is being funded by private companies, And you look at the difference between The Way Elon Musk And his Spacex gets into space versus Richard Branson. Different people have different ideas on how to do it these days yeah, And i think the other thing thats important, we have to have, i want to say the creativity of different companies trying it different ways, you use the creativity And its important to have private companies doing this And yes they might get a little bit of money from the u. S. Government, but the united States Government is very limited in the amount of money they have. I was an astronaut at nasa And we flew the Space Shuttle for 30 years. We wanted to go i want to say farther, faster And higher. We want to go back to the moon but nasa didnt have the funding from the federal government to do as much as we wanted to do. Now, you bring in private companies, youve got this money thats out there And i want to say vastly more money than nasa has And that needs to be directed, i believe, towards space exploration, And i love whats happening right now. I think theres going to be an explosion of Space Travel And youre going to see more people that want to fly And youll see the success of what happened last week And will happened to. More people are going to want to do this , whether its private investors or thrill seekers or , you know, the united States Government wanting to be involved also. Ainsley And Jeff Bezos even said its going to get obviously a lot cheaper just like weve seen in commercial airlines, just flying across the country is a lot cheaper than it used to be so hopefully well see the price come down so more people have the opportunity. Eileen thank you so much for joining us And thanks for Everything Youve done. Were going to keep her, sorry were bringing in someone else this is terry vert, retired nauseates And international International Space commAnder. Terry i know a lot of parents are grabbing their kids putting them in front of the tv, it is summer kids are probably not in school. I remember doing thats a child with my family. For the kids that are watching what are we seeing right now . Well this is the first human flight of a Space Ship which is pretty cool its only happened a few times in history so its really exciting And my former Space Shuttle Crew Mate, Nick Patrick is helping run this mission so im excited for him down here in the great state of texas. Brian terry you know whats interesting is they keep on talking ability the size of the windows And your perspective changes when you blast off into space, so few can actually say that And understAnd it. Im not one of them. Can you Tell Me whats going to change And what they will see . Well Nick Patrick gave me a tour a few years ago. I actually got to go into one of niece capsules And the windows are really impressive, the view is going to be spectacular And i actually got to install this thing called a coupula on the International Space station, which is a Window Module And when you put your head in there, it feels like youre out in space, because you can just be surrounded by space. The emotional impact is incredible. I remember the first time i looked out, i had spent my whole life with pictures of space on my walls And reading books And seeing movies but when you see it for yourself that emotional impact is incredible. Brian what do you think of that Control Room, what the are we seeing, what are they looking at . I actually cant see the view that you guys are seeing right now, but they are going to be monitoring all of the data And pressures And temperatures And rockets And fuel tanks And the cabin. Theres a lot of telemetry going into Mission Control for Blue Origin. Steve terry you were a Space Shuttle pilot, And the Space Shuttle as eileen was talking about, you know, that was Design Ed in the 60s And 70s And by the tomb it got up there the technology was almost obsolete because they moved past it. What were looking at now, i mean, they were flying it as 50 yearold technology when they retired it. Now youre looking at something that is truly stateoftheart. I mean, the smartest minds in the world have put the coolest things in the world in that machine. Well its a pretty amazing rocket. You know the blue Origin Rocket was actually the firstever to lAnd, so not just the capsule but the rocket itself came back And lAnded in the Texas Desert And now of Spacex'>Course Spacex does that on a routine basis but that was a big advance in technology No One has ever done before And the thought is youll build this super expensive engine to get the rocket off of earth so why throw it away. It be like throwing a boeing 737 away every time you take it flying. Steve terry, did nasa ever consider that or was it back in the days when weve got unlimited taxpayer money, we can just go ahead And throw it away And build a new one . Well actually the Space Shuttle was the first reuseable overall rocket, but the solid Rocket Boosters, parachuted back into The Ocean And the shuttle itself, the orbiter was re useable but we used to joke that it only costs a little bit extra money to reuse the solid than it did to just buy a new one, because they parachuted in The Ocean so imagine if you took your Ford Explorer And Parachut Ed that in The Ocean. You could clean it up And use it again but it would probably be cheaper steve if its in The Ocean. They are closing the hatch. Ainsley you mentioned going into space the first time And how emotional that was. Describe that. What does it look like . What does it feel like . I thought i was ready for it i had been spending my whole life getting ready to fly in space And i talked to folks like eileen in the Astronaut Office with me, whats it like And then i remember the first time, i saw the East Coast at night, which was incredible And i looked out And i grew up there, theres i 95 but going into that first sunrise was spectacular And it was this blue line And ill never forget seeing sunrise , the blue atmosphere And i remember thinking ive never seen that shade of blue before. It was like the color was so spectacular. And then the ice from the Engine S was floating it was like a cloud of A Million fire flies flying around the capsule, we were at night flying into sunlight but it was pretty amazing. Brian congressman Dan Crenshaw joins us now from a place hes very familiar with hes gop congressman. Congressman, more actions happening in texas. What are your thoughts now . Look, i just think its great for americans to be inspired by something incredible like going to space. Its honestly been too long since we were able to see these journeys, And i think its really great that weve all been able to come together And do that again. From a policy perspective, i think its really cool to see the publicprivate partnerships that have occurred over the last few years, And our major companies And its really an amazing thing in america, only in america, where companies that start off so small, nobody would believe in them, becomes the largest in the world And then could potentially taking us to mars one day, And to see these rockets that take off And then lAnd perfectly, i mean, it seems to defy the laws of physics but they do it so elegantly And im excited for texas, im excited to see how this echosystem starts to build And what we start to see in texas, as far as some kind of structure that houses all of these government entities And private entities that are getting us to space. Steve sure, if people are looking closely at their tv screens, the big Picture Window on the left side, you can see somebody inside And that is 18yearold Oliver damon, hes a teenager whose dad is the ceo of a private Equity Firm And hes strapped into his seat And the other three are behind him, although we have seen mr. Bezos on the other side giving us a thumbs up. Let me ask you, eileen, you were the first female commAnder of a Space Shuttle. Youve been on top of a rocket preparing to launch into space. After years of training, how do you feel when youre sitting on top of that . I know this one is much smaller in comparison, its only 60 feet tall, but still, the anxiety has got to be different than when you were training. Well, i will say that if the Ander'>Shuttle CommAnder And Space Shuttle pilot we were pretty busy running checklists, throwing switches, we were talking on the radio, we were focused, And that helps a little bit to stay focused but regardless, youre getting ready to go on what we call a controlled explosion, so there is a little bit of an increased heart rate, but i do remember my last Launch Right after we lifted off, the thought went through my mind, were actually launching. This is not a simulate or , And you get right back to work. But we were pretty busy. Ainsley eileen what was it like when you went to space the first time . Weve heard from others And how spectacular it is. How about for you . Well again, i was busy running checklists, shutting down the apus And perging the main Propulsion System, et cetera. My Crew Member behind me said eileen, look out the window this is your first sunrise from space And i looked out the window And i thought the earth is round. [laughter] that was the first thought that went to my mind of course it is round but ive never seen the curvature of the earth And that was probably the most spectacular thing about my first moments in space. Brian its amazing Blue Origin has their own Twitter Feed And they just said three minutes ago , hatch is closed, final checks are underway. Congressman, i know this is a great day for america, certainly for amazon, And Jeff Bezos, but is this also a great day for texas . Another major moment in your state . Yeah, absolutely. Like i said im excited to see what kind of echosystem starts to thrive because of that you know, we had the texas medical center for instance where all of the best innovators , all of the best interests And hospitals come together in one place. It be nice to see something similar start to materialize with the Space Industry alongside nasa. Brian youve got Elon Musk. Exactly. Youve got all of them coming to texas, And i think it portends a very interesting future for us And i think that kind of collaboration is how one day, we might get to mars. Steve And i think one thing about this particular mission is were going to be able to see it from starttofinish because theyve got super cameras And lenses were going to see it the whole way up. Terry berts, you were international Ander'>Space Station CommAnder And Space Shuttle pilot as well. As we approach launch, And what is it were tminus 15 minutes away from it right now, And you can see some of the images, some of the people at amazon headquarters, they are up And they are early. Ainsley they are all young. Steve do you blame them, very excited about being there. Brian all getting more per hour now. Ainsley thats right. Steve indeed. So, terry, for this particular team to be there, you know, theyre in that capsule. They just essentially met, because theyve been, they arent going to be actually driving anything. They are just going up. Its really the people in this Control Room that have all of the investment in this particular project. Yeah, thats right. The capsule that they are flying is completely automated the only thing they need to do is get out of their seat belts once they are in space And a few minutes later they need to get back in their seats And put the seat belts on again. Everything else is done by the ground. My old Crew Mate Nick Patrick is running the mission And a good friend of eileen And mine, Jeff Ashby is one of the senior managers so this is really an automated system very different than the shuttle. Eileen was talking about the ap us And main Propulsion System And she was a commAnder And i was like the copilot but we had a lot of switches to flip in the Space Shuttle And its very different in this capsule. Brian lets bring in Bill Nelson, Nasa Administrator, experienced astronaut maybe the most famous in the country now. Bill, welcome. Youve been through things that are more difficult than this , when actually you had to fly things And there was much more at stake. What are your thoughts now . What should people at home understAnd about this mission . Any time you defy gravity, The Way these folks are, there is danger. I think its great that these billionaires are spending their money to develop all of these new technologies. They are opening Up To ordinary folks that wouldnt have the training that astronaut Terry Berts has And by The Way hes a Pilot F16 Pilot extraordinaire, And so but its opening up so that people can get a glimpse of this extraordinary planet, albeit only for a couple of minutes before they start coming back down. I think whats happening is great, And look at the accomplishments already. Look what Elon Musk, the billionaire has already accomplished going into orbit And delivering crew to the International Space station And Jeff Bezos now is developing a rocket that will go into orbit And will go further exploration, so i think were seeing dawn of a new Space Age. Brian i love it, And bill, theres a lot of people you just touched on it, who are saying wow we have so many problems here, so many people need money here, why in the billionaires putting money into space. What do you tell people And how do you get them to see the big picture . Well first of all i tell them that i understAnd, And want to do the things that you want to do on earth to rehabilitate the inequities that we find here , but that doesnt mean that we shouldnt constantly explore a new frontier. Remember, this country developed westwood with a new frontier And now its upward, And we never want to give up that discovery, that exploration, of the american spirit. Ainsley congressman crenshaw, when we were talking to Nasa Administrators And all of these astronauts, when you were growing up your dream was to be a Navy Seal And you accomplished that with strength And grit, but theres so many of us that, i never even thought about going into space, because that was just not my goal. I was always fascinated with it And looked Up To people like eileen And to And-terry'>Bill And Terry who are involved in nasa, And have done this , but for you, like are you starting to think maybe i could do this now . Its something that most americans watching are thinking when the price goes down maybe this is something we could all do. Yeah, i think that is one of the cooler things about what were seeing lately, with these launches is that its pretty obvious now that its becoming accessible to more And more people. Look the first television was beyond anybodys reach, but that first wealthy person who bought that television is the reason that they were able to move prices down And continue production. I think you can see something like that happening with space. Now, do i think about it . Oh, i cant see very well, i think its very dangerous for me to go up in space but if im going as a passenger, well, now it is open to me because there are quite a few Navy Seals that have gone the Astronaut Route to be honest but they all have perfect vision so i dont think im in that category but this appears to open it up now to just any of us. Steve And congressman, you work in washington d. C. , sometimes thats like another planet, but that conversation is for another day. Eileen, you were the first female commAnder of a Space Shuttle. You know whats going to be different about this particular mission is the rockets going to blast off And take about 60 miles And then the Cap Capsule is going to disengage from the rocket And the rocket will lAnd vertically but the capsule is going to do something weve never seen a man ned Space Flight in the united states do And that is its going to lAnd not in the water, like mercury And apollo, its going to lAnd out there on the hard earth of West Texas, presumably, at one mile per hour. Thats really going to be the challenge, making sure they lAnd at one mile an hour, right . Yeah, well okay, so that is going to be a little bit of a jolt. We may lAnd, so its something you want to be watching for , i think when you see it hit the ground, And again, it will hit softly, in aerodynamic terms And youll see the dust come out they do have parachutes And i know theyve tested this capsule over And over again with parachutes even with a failed parachute, so they are pretty confident And they have a lot of time on it but i will say that the Russians Vehicle comes back from the Space Station And the lAnds in a similar way. They are coming back from orbit, so they have a much when you come back as many american astronauts have done And you have a much steeper descent with a higher gload, but again, they are going to come back from 200 miles And today, Blue Origin will be coming back from about 60 miles or so but thatll be an important part of the mission to watch. Brian terry im wondering, is there anything that they can do in the capsule, should they need to do, are they trained to take over this capsule, should automation go south . Do you know . Well, ill defer to Blue Origin for the specifics but when my Crew Mate Nick Patrick gave me the tour there wasnt a lot to do. Mostly just enjoy the view outside. Brian my type of ride. Yeah exactly And theres a lot of cameras taking pictures. I have a book out And i actually wrote a chapter about what to do if youre a Space Tourist And my advice was to take the time to get the View Sink into your brain but let me say something real quick about the inequity And i know theres a lot of bad press going around for billionaires. When we got into space on my first Space Shuttle flight, that when we opened up the bay doors we didnt just launch billion dollar bills out into space, that money was all spent down on earth And i know the people that work at blue And-Spacex'>Origin And Spacex are very happy to have a good middle class job, thats funded by this activity, so, theres a lot of good things that happen on earth from Space Travel. Steve sure. We were told that it was going to launch precisely at 9 00, which is three minutes And 30 seconds away from right now but as we look at the feed from Blue Origin, the tminus time they held at 15 minutes. We do not know what the delay is but Bill Nelson, Nasa Administrator that was common in Nasa Days when you were there where they would hold at the last minute for a period of time i wonder why they are holding right now. Well we dont know, but as a matter of fact steve they just started the clock. Thats good to hear. I tell you, i speak from the experience of our crew has the dubious record of the most scrubs of any mission. We scrubbed four times. Steve thats got to be frustrating. Brian right. Oh, it was but the fifth try was an almost flawless Sixday Mission in space only to return to earth And 10 days later challenger launches, And blows up, And so it just brings home that space is hard, And you got to have it right. Ainsley uhhuh. Is it worth the discovery And i think it is And i think we all agree that it is. Brian And bill, my hope is that youre going to get more money in congress from the public to fund these tight missions from nasa And partnerships, because i think great things come out of this , And imagination And i also think it helps american pretige. Ainsley absolutely, eileen, terry, bill, wally, congressman crenshaw, thank you so much for being on with us. Thank you. Thank you. Steve thank you very much so we are according to Blue Origins countdown clock, were 13 minutes 34 seconds away from Blue Origin taking off from out in remote West Texas. They are on board the new shepherd rocket, its been test flown 15 times this is the first time there have ever been people on board, mission should be 11 minutes, they are going to hit that height, capsule will jolt into space And then demonstrate back. Ainsley Jeff Bezos, his Brother Mark bezos, a firefighter, the 18yearold youngest up in space And the oldest, wally funk , the female 82 years old. Brian the good news is too, by the bottom of the hour well see the entire Mission Wrap up And hopefully come down to earth safely. Now its time to hAnd off to newsroom with Andra-smith'>SAndra Smith And Bill Hemmer, keep it right here. SAndra it will carry them 65 miles above the earth where theyll get a spectacular view. The entire journey lasting all of 11 minutes. Bill it will come And go quickly And well watch alanette who has been in space three times. Coverage from Brett Larson to talk about the future for all this And Susan Lee on the finances And economics. Welcome to all of you. Jeff paul is on the ground in Van Horn.
