Fox and friends first continues right now. Jillian you are watching Fox And Friends First this thursday morning. I did not see any stars but they were probably secured by the beautiful light that is manhattan. We begin with the border crisis, texas, Greg Abbott banning certain transportation of migrants who to be infected with covid. This is to protect communities after covid positive illegal immigrants were sent to hotels. Griff jenkins joins us with the claim that biden officials ordered them to downplay a covert outbreak. What is going on . Governor abbotts Executive Order is pretty significant. It bans anyone other than federal, state or local Law Enforcement Official from transporting migrants to stop the spread of covid into texas. The biden administration cares more about people who are not residents of america, to mask up and vaccinate fellow americans, allowing free passage into the united states of people with high probability of covid and spreading that covid in our communities. This comes after news broke of a catholic charity placing covid positive migrants into a local hotel. Lawyer Police Sergeant says they found out when a Customer Whataburger witnessed migrant families teasing and coughing unmasked. Cvp processed them and they tested positive for covid. No one told the City Of La jolla, No One told the Police Department these people were here and No One told us these people were possibly ill. A 900 spike in covid cases, according to Congressman Henry cuellar, 70 Border Patrol agents are positive. Those men and women have family and if they get sick and go home to their families, to the border communities and not to local communities. Reporter at Fort Bliss were hhs houses migrant children, federal whistleblowers, four congressional committees that they were instructed to downplay a covert outbreak at the facility. Hhs is not commenting. Washington post reporting the administration is halting plans on title 42 at the border. Todd seems they had no option but to do that but with this administration youd be surprised what they do. We have been measured in pointing out the hypocrisy of the covid situation with the new Mask Requirements and Mask Mandates, he is pretty fired up about it, Congressman Chip Roy yesterday, listen to this. We have a crisis at our border and are Playing Footsie with Mask Mandate and the peoples house. It is absolutely absurd with his body is doing, and embarrassment, mockery and the american people are fed up. They want to go back to life, back to business, backtoschool, their children being forced to wear masks, to be put in a corner, may have Mental Health issues. Todd that anger into motion you heard continues that theme of if i do everything right and follow the tools and play by the rulebook im not going to be able to live my life the way i thought i would by following those rules yet these individuals at the border can come across, there are no consequences for them, they can do what they want and there is no pushback in that is frustrating not just to Chip Roy or republicans but to so many people in our country. A 900 spike in covid cases, but democrats take covid seriously and throughout the Pandemic Something that has been going on since the beginning, hypocrisy among people calling for Mask Mandate in covid restrictions allow us, Nancy Pelosi visiting that Hair Salon but No One else to get their hair done, the mayor of boston telling people to stay home but went to his Daughters Wedding in mexico, the la County Supervisor who was dining outside just hours after she voted to ban outdoor dining, a picture of Governor Newsom at the french Laundry Restaurant Dining with a bunch of people after he told everybody they cant go out and dine together. Kevin mccarthy said on twitter these rules are not about keeping people safe because we have the vaccine. It is all about power and how Nancy Pelosi, she called him a Moron Or Something and mccarthy responded with this, take a listen. Do you know what Frustrates Americans the most . Hypocrisy. Telling america you cant get your Hair Cut but you get caught on camera as you do it. Tell people you cant go out to dinner but my same state where the individual got haircut the governor went out to dinner. The whole point is covid is a serious disease and thank god we have a serious vaccine for people to combat it and everybody has had the choice, the option to get the vaccine to the question is when are we going to live in a world where we are not living in the middle of the pandemic because we arent anymore so many people have gotten vaccinated and those who havent had the choice to. Laura something that didnt to him favors yesterday, former Fda Commissioner Scott Gottlieb under the obama administration, heres what he had to say when asked about masks. I dont think that is the case, we are going to get enough bang for our buck by telling people they have to wear masks that alltime to make It Worth our while. We are further into the Delta Wave than picking up. Another 2 or 3 weeks we will be through this. The new guidance will have a negligible impact. Todd is the Juice Worth the squeeze . Hes implying it creates problems for this white house. Jillian the senate agrees to take up a bipartisan infrastructure plan. Todd still a lot to work out. Ashley strohmeyer joins us to break it down. The senate over advancing the passage overnight setting up the final vote on the bill in the coming days, President Biden calling the agreement the most significant longterm investment in our Infrastructure And Competitiveness in a century. What is included . 550 Billion in spending, 110 Billion for roads, bridges and major projects, 15 Billion to electric Fuel Infrastructure and 65 Billion for highspeed internet. At a time washington seems broken this group of members came together and along with others decided to do something great for our country. Every american believes roads, bridges, ports, waterways, digital infrastructure needs to be updated. Jillian at the same time democrats are trying to push their own bill through reconciliation, that includes 579 Billion in new spending but for that to pass the bill needs to pass every democrat in the senate. Kirsten cinema says she cannot support the expensive bill and facing backlash from the squad. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez tweeting good luck taking your own Partys Investment in childcare, Climate Action it infrastructure, you will survive the 3 Vote House Margin especially after choosing to exclude members of color from negotiations and calling that a bipartisan accomplishment. Nancy pelosi says she hasnt seen what is included in the bipartisan bill so Cant Support it yet but she said she wouldnt put the bill on the house for until it is passed through reconciliation. Todd Chuck Todd saying there is no liberal bias in the media, it is just a republican talking point. Jillian Joe Cona is helping us fact check that claim coming up next. 72,807 72,808. Dollars. Yep.

Back in 2009 during the socalled Great Recession the president asked me to be in charge of managing that piece, Donald Trump, Freudian Slip, the last president. Jillian he corrected himself after the mixup but a Freudian Slip refers to someone accidentally revealing their inner feelings when he didnt intend to do so, many scratching their heads why he was thinking about trump. Todd 14 after the hour, Chuck Todd, no liberal bias in the media. Where we get lost in this, this happened to mainstream media in particular, we let Republican Critics get enough head. Republicans have been running on there is a liberal bias in the media. We shouldnt have accepted the premise there is liberal bias. Reporter joe concha, the liberal bias is all in our heads. To be taken from a fictional movie and used on the american people. It is great to be with you guys. Jillian good to see you in person. The New York Times has not endorsed republican President President ial candidate since 1956, 40 years before you were born as an example. The Washington Post in his history has never endorsed a republican president ial candidate. The gop getting peoples heads as far as Media Bias is concerned going back to 1956, one endorsement of a president ial candidate, another stat, ataxia us, survey monkey, found 80 of independents thinks the News Media reports, how is this possible, the gop says it could. Will we can look at this with our own eyes and ears. A breath of fresh air. Smaller crowds, lower wattage, inaugural, less everything. Not known for being athletic. Maybe he has a hard time going down gently sloping ramp. Todd for viewers who havent been there, in newsrooms, carrying liberal by and large. Ive been in shut thoughts newsroom. Went from won it was like Everybodys Mother had died and they were articulating it as such. For Chuck Todd to say that is beguiling. When biden won three people were injured by champagne corks, the opposite reaction. When we were listening called Him An Angel president. The Better Angel president. Chuck todd by train, after Donald Trump was elected not exactly a basket of conservative sentiment, the honeymoon period, 93 negative coverage by Nbc News which Chuck Todd runs as political director, 93 , President Biden is elected, 60 positive, 142 point swings. The easiest segment ive ever done to argue there is a liberal bias. Todd tomorrow we will have you want to look into it. Bob woodward we all respect. People at home sees smugness and Chuck Todd in that interview smug. Jillian thank you. Good to see you. 18 after the hour. The Police Shortage in austin, texas at crisis levels, with 911 Callers forced to wait for help. Jillian 911 Callers in austin, texas being forced to wait for response as the chief of police, the shortage of officers a crisis. I call it a crisis because it is a crisis. The positions are vacant right now. Reporter joining me to discuss that, mckenzie kelly, you heard the chief of police a 150 positions, how is that affecting the city . Response times are up. It is the most important across the city. The average response time for a level one crime, a lot of times those officers have to wait for backup. People calling 911 for serious crimes have to wait 15 or 20 minutes. Politicians in our cities look out for the best interest of our community and Public Safety is not the number one priority. Jillian a 150 officer footage, with that result of the from the police . Absolutely, and have costly consequences. We have Officer Shortages because of inability to hire, and in this budget for two academies in austin that we can get this under control. Jillian the Murder Rate in crime in austin up 96 in texas and austin in particular, celebritys like Joe Rogan who are living there because of great policies texas had but appears to be different. Residents will start to leave. President s are leaving. People selling homes to get out of boston because its not the city they thought it would be and it is a direct result of the City Council and mayor pushing Social Justice and making datadriven decisions. The City Council is expected to approve to review the police budget, has it happened yet . Pushing for a third modified police academy, basic level of training on the streets, it takes four months, and the time is not to wait, that we are losing. That is an acceptable. A big waste of money because you put money into Officers Training and in cities where they may feel of the more respected is an unfortunate situation. , and Cheryl Casone is the recap. That is it to the meeting ending with the feds are saying this. They were rolled off in a couple months. We should the strong Job Creation moving forward. First time he acknowledged this, it is a Skills Gap in the workforce, the administration goes for the reverse course from him, how did it seem too worried . With successive waves of covid there tended to be a less in the way of economic implications from each wave and we will see if that is the case with the Delta Variety but not an unreasonable expectation. Jillian the Federal Reserve hinted that could scale back asset purchases later this year as the pandemic stays off the books. Those low Mortgage Rates could start to go away if that happens. Todd regardless of Administration But Mascot mickey. Jillian those Miles A Disney World will be covered up starting to our, face coverings required for everyone over 2 years old indoors, but disney buses, the monorail. Whether they are vaccinated or not. That includes all the attractions. They are optional outdoor common areas. Optional outdoor, required indoors. What about Ice Cream . Theres news on the ben and jerrys front. Carley the owner was so upset about the Israel Boycott he is donating 10 to fund education. There is bigger Catering Jobs and bad reviews online. The poor guy, we have enough problems so stop by this guys place. Todd we talked about masks at disney but a growing number of schools voting to make masks optional for students and teachers this coming fall. Jillian the status of policies. You need an ecolab scientific clean here. And you need it here. And here. And here. Which is why the scientific expertise that helps Operating Rooms stay clean is now helping the places you go every day too. Seek a commitment to clean. Look for the Ecolab Science certified seal.

Lactaid Ice Cream. Jillian fox news alert. The Gulf Of Alaska under a Tsunami Advisory following an 8. 2 earthquake. Todd Profit Evacuations in several communities, strong aftershocks, the tsunami warning, Janice Dean has The Fox weather forecast. Carley janice the are not used to this but living in alaska you can get earthquakes and this is a great earthquake but the good news is it was so deep we didnt have a big tsunami but there were warnings overnight. A scary situation 29 miles deep in the Ocean Right off the coast where they have just lifted the advisory. That is great news. We had advisories. We had a warning overnight, it was down to a watch. We have some aftershocks. The potential for that, 5. One, 6. One aftershock over the last couple hours so they have to monitor the situation but in terms of big earthquakes this is top5 for alaska. We have to monitor this. This is where they typically get earthquakes so they know what to do if the alarms go off. Storms across the upper midwest, no tornado reports, Hail And Wind damage in the severe threat ongoing across the ohio river valley, dc, philadelphia, new york city, large hail, damaging wind, isolated tornadoes. The other story is the extreme heat, temperatures in the 90 to 100 degree range, humidity will feel worse than that. It is that time of year but this is dangerous he and the advisories have been canceled. In terms of alaska it could have been worse. Todd schools across the Nation Voting to make masks optional as the cdc recommends indoor masking regardless of vaccination status. Cameron brian, Leon County School Board Member and in north carolina, Chuck Francis and board of Education Member Doctor bobby rogers. Why did you make that decision . Our board made the decision in may to lift the requirement Mask Mandate. All our campuses, Summer School students, teachers had a choice this summer. We are super excited this fall to get back to normal. Teachers are setting up their classrooms, smiling and we are excited to get back to normal. Todd what is the feedback in your district . We are very divided in leon county, in tallahassee, In The Shadow that Capitol Building but we believe in choice and we were one of the few states that kept schools opened to give every parent a choice that is right for their child. Someone called out by sheriffs deputies, another woman threatened to be removed but we wanted to give our parents the option and if we wanted to go back to Mask Mandate, leaving one group of parents out saying we will not give the option without a mask and we are optional. I dont think the discussion is over for us. What the cdc recommends and what the governor mandates, this is not the End Of The Road but we are mask optional. Todd are you seeing a similar situation in florida . Is this an issue breaking on party lines or do you see bipartisan support . It has become a political issue in Haywood County. We had a meeting last tuesday, the majority of parents, a choice of masking or not masking, and empower parents to make that decision. Will you presumably have Education Phd or a higher degree. How vital is it parents and not the government decide what is best for their children. Two things i always try to remember. As an elected School Board Member i have an obligation to know the desires and the will of the people i represent, they would be a representative voice of we the people. We are a constitutional republic. Second, i am a pastor at a church in Haywood County and i have to remind myself that i dont operate On My Own abilities. God gives us a prescription when we face things like disease and decisiveness. If people understand sometimes our battles are bigger than we are, turn from our wicked ways, he will delay our sins. Todd we are forgetting a lot about faith during the covid experience and it is good you brought it up. Thanks to the four of you for being here. A lot of people on the panel, great answer.

Jillian Venice Beach residents that up as the homeless crisis take their community once again despite recent cleanup attempt, the Iconic Boardwalk is once again filled up with encampments. Todd Lawrence Jones saw the conditions in may, returned to see the latest firsthand. This has been a long time coming On The Beach of venice, the la sheriff, Alex Villanueva came with the environment to clean up the area. I talked with him yesterday and those residents are impacted by it. About two months ago this very place was littered with trash which people living in those tents that provoke la county sheriffs to clean up the problem. This very tents and the people that live in them are back. You are seeing the best it has looked in a year and it is temporary. How has this impacted business . Our business has been virtually destroyed. It is circling the drain. When the government takes care of you this is what your life becomes. We need permanent solutions and focus on that instead of this law enforcement, all of this money cleaning up, running around. They are breaking laws. I want good people to find places to live but that has got to go. Drugs and Dollars Crap is got to go. That guy is in jail and the guy walked away. This is where they go to play and it has been taken away from them. Would you let your kids play here, weapons found in the sand . People shooting up every day. Im a teacher, i can no longer bring my kids out. It looks better. There is still a problem here. He did an encampment where people got hotel rooms. The sheriff was going to clear the beach by july 4th. After the sheriff came we have a councilman come in, of 5 Million got 5 Million, 5 Million the translated to businesses coming back and people being able to feel safe walking the boardwalk. We need law and order, the one person who stepped in is sheriff villanueva. That is preventing it right there. These are new people here. Some of the minute. Identify these folks was what is the first step . They assess the situation. Where do you come from and why are you here and what are you expecting, what does it take to get into shelter. People are saying thank you. The businesses that have been impacted, how does that make you feel . Grateful that people i getting the help they need but we dont have enough. If i had the resources of the City Of La i would have this cleaned up in 90 minutes. Reporter what keeps people from enforcing the current law on the books . For this chunk of City Right here is two things, mayor Eric Garcetti and congressman mike mullen, and anything no matter what does not help in terms to promote the lawlessness environment. I told my deputies dont feel to get your jobs. We pull our end of the bargain. We arrest the people who need to be arrested. Reporter it has nothing to do with political party. Under the Rule Of Law and Public Safety. That transcends politics. It is about people feeling secure. They can come to the boardwalk and enjoy. Reporter important to note the we reached out to governor gavin newsom, mayor Eric Garcetti and District Attorney George gascon for comments. The only one who decided to respond, the council into, quote, sheriff to be show up on the westside of Los Angeles when alex in a way that feels threatened. He is about scrutiny of his scandal plagued department and programs that show the real solution to homelessness, housing, not threats of arrest. It has gotten 183 people off of Venice Beach. It is a different story when you hear from folks on the ground that have been impacted. The sheriff is the one making progress in the sheriff goes out and talks to the homeless to get them food and foster an environment to get them off the streets so you dont come in with a heavy hand to enforce the law. Todd garcetti will be gone soon, the ambassador to india. Jillian thanks for showing that. What an important and awful situation in Venice Beach. We have to get the good, the bad and the ugly. The good and most important, congratulations to Ashley Strohmeyer who got engaged, her fiance imposed proposal a beautiful beach at sunset. Mike is an nypd officer, we wish you the best. Could they be any more goodlooking . Lisa great look to them. Happy for you. The bed. Two Rival Gangs fight each other, a bunch of drivers fed by tourists during the pandemic lockdown. Jillian How Dare You gender those monkeys. The ugly. Nothing but breaks. Bill deblasio in a shot at a Bronx Basketball Event where he did a better job sinking crime but he didnt think much on the court. Todd you would think he would be better but no. Congressman Michael Walsh talks about the Buildup Hunter bidens art career. As Hunter Biden prepares to attend his own art shows where he could meet potential buyers of his paintings. Michael Walsh Transparency bill hold first family accountable. Carley break down his bill called the painters act. Props on the name. Tell us about the bill and why you think its necessary. The bill amends the ethics in government act. And will require the Vice President and the president and future President S and Vice President s to have the same type of disclosures that they currently have and apply those to their adult chirp. Look, at the end of the day, im not trying to stop Hunter Biden, quote, career if thats what we are going to call it as an artist. But the public does deserve to know who is buying his paintings at these exorbitant prices and why. And what is the motivation and who are these people . Are they domestic . Are they foreign, that are seeking obviously to accesses white house per these purchases. This is about putting a spotlight on it and transparency into this system. And well see. Todd Jen Psaki doesnt think its necessary. Take a listen. He is not going to have any conversations related to the seeing of art. We believe this is a reasonable system that has been established that allows for Hunter Biden to work in this profession within appropriate safeguards. Todd what i dont understand is how hunter has the gull to really pull this off, all this Painting Stuff even after all the other influence scandals he was accused of. Thoughts . Well, and whats really disturbing is just the Trend Line here, right . Hunter biden, as we speak, is an equity holder, Business Partner with the central bank of china. That deal was apparently sealed on official business on Air Force 2 within vice President Biden with A Billion Dollars Investment into his private equity firm. But hes also an Investor And Partner in companies like the chinese nuclear Suppliers Group which is currently blacklisted for trying to steal american nuclear Technology And War head technology. We need to get to the bottom of what these dealings are from a national Security Standpoint as well from an ethics standpoint. It is incredibly people laugh. But its actually incredibly disturbing. Carley there is a group of College Students at the university of South Florida and they were recently asked about the olympics and if they would be rooting for america sounds like an obvious yes but take a listen. Im rooting for athletes individually. Im not going to be routing for any team because of its some country i live. In Patriotism Shouldnt be that strong. Im in this country because i was born in it and gives me some opportunities. Doesnt mean there arent things to fix. It im not going to root for someone because they come from the same place as me. Patriotism shouldnt be that strong, congressman, your thoughts . Well, i want to take him and his buddies with me to places that i served in the Middle East in and africa and afghanistan. I guarantee you he will be kissing the flag and kissing the ground when he lands back in the united states of america. But this is what is coming out of our higher Education System right now. This is what is being taught with the woke industry that has become the University System and its incredibly disturbing. Its why i want to get back to National Service where Everyone 18yearold learns leadership, team work, followership. Doesnt have to be in the military, national parks, inner cities, but you learn how great this country is and get abroad and get some perspective. I guarantee you who is waiving the American Flag right now people that are protesting for their freedom in cuba. People that are dying on the streets to get over here in afghanistan. But weather its our interpreters that stood and fought with us. Thats what needs to be taught in our schools. But, do you know the thing. Todd were up against a hard break. We have so many proudly waiving that American Flag and inspiring. Carley absolutely right. Thank you, congressman. Thank you so much. Fox friends starts right now. Cant we be friends . Brian all right. Turn on the lights, everybody. We are ready to work full time for the next three hours and then get some rest. We dont want you to rest through the show. Just gradually get dressed. Every hour put on something else. The opposite of strip poker. Right . Rachel you are so fun. Brian i thought we were going to ghump a
