>> brian: detroit ford lightning talk to the ceo of ford and doing a history of the car on fox nation. really cool. going to see it next week. >> ainsley: look forward to that. >> steve: meanwhile, let's talk a little bit about how disney pretty much has ruined the greatest deal, the sweetest deal ever. it says antioxidants vs. disney. there has been a clash between governor antioxidants and disney over gender sex education for kids in florida schools k through 3. the state said that is impossible. disney came out after it passed and said we're going to do everything we can as a company to undo this. yesterday the florida republican led senate voted take away disney's special tax district that allows disney to govern essentially a 40 square mile area and they can pretty much do anything they want and save millions of dollars. >> ainsley: they went after the governor for the parental rights education bill. and they said -- they started calling it the don't say gay bill. he said no, disney is just becoming this woke corporation. he wants to eliminate special districts it gives them special privileges big power companies and entities. >> they save tens of millions of dollars on fees and regulations they would have to pay to a county. instead, they put into the -- >> ainsley: now fall under orange and osceola counties. if senate passes it it the house passes it it goes to the desantis' desk. >> brian: swap in the old guy bob iger we made a big mistake. we should stay out of politics. the florida senate president talked about the vote-that went the republican's direction. >> we do not pay back in the state of florida. we stand up for parental rights. when liberal elitists attack our florida rights, florida is going to stand up. let's talk about not only how we got in this position but the idea that kindergartners, first second and 3rd graders oriented with sex transial it by kids any putting this front and center on their cultural chart, it led to us taking a look at what special privileges does disney have? >> steve: exactly if you are a stockholder of disney, you have got to be wondering why have they gone so woke? this could impact my savings and stock holdings in your company? as this is going on down in florida, in colorado, the governor there jared polis is asking for disney, hey, forget about florida, they are giving you a headache. why don't you come to the land of the rockies and he tweeted this out. florida authoritarian socialist attacks on the private sector are driving businesses away. i don't know what he is talking about there. in colorado, we don't meddle in affairs of companies bike disney or twitter. hey, disney, we are ready for mountain disney land and twitter ready for twitter headquarters too. whoever your owners to. mickey and minute any full asylum in colorado. apparently the governor doesn't realize twitter has an office in bolder. >> ainsley: disney is not moving. all those rides, the castle, the big golf ball. they can't move that. start over and move to colorado? >> brian: one thing it shows me that jared polis wants to run for president. >> ainsley: put on your ski boots and disney world. >> brian: deal with the real mountains. >> steve: people go to florida for the weather not the mountains. >> brian: they say if ready creek is dissolved which is where the area around disney which is in the middle of this lawsuit, my guess would be orange county would have to raise property taxes 15% to 20%. that's not your whole tax bill because your tax bill involves school and other things. orange county's portion of tax bill probably go up to 15% to 20%. >> ainsley: disney brings in so much money wouldn't that money to osceola and orange county? >> steve: absolutely. that's a what they are putting out behind the scenes to try to scare people oh we can't do that. >> the debt responsibility that orange and osceola county would have that the counties would likely set up according to the "wall street journal," a special taxing district to tie bond payments and taxes produced by disney's properties and. so taxes and fees disney currently pace ready creek would go to the counties. so there is a way to get around this. they have. >> brian: they have their own power station and got their own cops. they really run their own city. nobody really even goes in there unless it's an absolute emergency or natural disaster. disney does their own thing. they brought a lot there. they settled land that was unsettled. it was basically all swamp. they still have a lot of unused land. this is a battle i never thought they would get into. iage sure they never thought they would be challenged. it's just the latest example. for example, when you look at the president of the united states and how he screwed up the all-star game in georgia by mischaracterizing what the georgia voting reform bill was about. he totally lied about it. talked about it being racist. jim crow 2.0. next thing you know panicked corporations decide we're no longer going to sponsor this and guess who gets the all-star game, instead of the urban environment of atlanta, georgia, they go to the white suburban area of colorado so the big loser. >> steve: colorado again. >> brian: the big loser in this whole situation was -- were the people of atlanta and all the president of the united states irresponsibly mischaracterized what voting reform was. number two, it happened again. jen psaki starts crying saying she is standing up for the gay children. i don't know what she is talking about. you are mischaracterizing. your tears are misplaced. 9 no say gay bill is outright deception. head fake, to make people think this is anti-homophobic piece of legislation. they messed with the wrong governor. this governor just sits there and hits you with facts. he now has some people in corporate america, who have removed themselves from corporate america saying we have got to get back on track like ed renzi who used to run mcdonald's. >> ainsley: is he saying a lot of the same things you are hearing from the conservative party. he is saying why is disney getting involved in politics? why don't they just. >> steve: make money. >> ainsley: make money, appease all of the people that go to disney, republicans and democrats and not get involved in politics. instead, focus on the movies and focus on the amusement park. he says corporations have no business being on the right or the left because they represent everybody there. and this their sole job is to build equity for investors. it is not the province of board members or executives to take shareholder money profit and spend it on social matters. corporations should not get involved in social engineering. >> steve: exactly right. here's the thing. he has joined forces and formed a group protect shareholders and employees of publicly traded companies. what they are going to do now and you should listen to this guy because ed actually invented the mcnupghtd. nugget.important american icon. bought enough shares of bank of america to at the next stockholder meeting they're going to propose to bank of america stop pushing at the corporate level the crt-inspired equity training on the staff. because the whole thing of the company going woke could make us go broke when it comes to our stocks. speaking of woke, elon musk tweeted this out about netflix and i just got my bill. it went up as yours probably has, elon tweeted the woke mind virus is making netflix unwatchable. >> brian: other thing to keep in mind the employees prompted this move. >> steve: some. >> ainsley: disney. >> brian: had that walkoff. it wasn't that successful. hiring these 20 somethings and they come in within a activist mindset. and they want their corporation to react to it and corporate america begins to panic and we're seeing this over and over again. and makes stand all of a suddennedden next thing you know taking political position most of their stand is to the left. any consistency how does disney get up every day and have an amusement park in china knowing people are being tortured to death a few miles away. be consistent. ainsley: what would walt disney think of all of this. >> steve: walt disney got a great deal to got state of florida and buy up 40 square miles. >> ainsley: what think about in politics. >> steve: ultimately in the business of making money for themselves and stockholders. unfortunately over the last couple years some businesses have gotten woke and gotten an agenda. >> brian: to answer your question that will be a great question. what was his original vision. i only think there is one board member left on the original board of and i think that board member tends to lean left from the disney family. >> steve: if that is the granddaughter i read about she absolutely does. she is completely in support of trying to derail ron desantis and the parental rights bill down in florida. that's what is g on. >> ainsley: my dad said walt disney i hope i will never be afraid to fail. not related to this story. >> steve: not during his lifetime. absolutely not. >> brian: meanwhile, 13 minutes after the hour. up next, russia successfully test launching a nuclear capable missile as vladimir putin issues a new threat. we are live in ukraine as president biden is set to address from the white house this morning the latest on our effort to help that country. >> ainsley: plus, johnny depp telling all while he is on the stand. the actor revealing what he lost blaming now ex-wife amber heard ♪ you give love a bad name ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ voltaren. the joy of movement. ♪ we could walk forever ♪ ( ♪♪ ) ♪ walking on ♪ ♪ walking on the moon ♪ ♪ some ♪ ♪ may say ♪ ♪ i'm wishing my days away ♪ ♪ no way ♪ ♪ walking on the moon ♪ only two things are forever: love and liberty mutual customizing your car insurance, so you only pay for what you need. if anyone objects to this marriage...

matt finn is live in lviv, ukraine with more. hey, matt. >> good morning. putin also claims that this new intercontinental missile is capable of, quote: overcoming all missile defense systems. now, the pentagon scrapped a similar missile test earlier this month over concerns it would inflame tensions with russia putin claims that russia's intercontinental missile test made with almost exclusively russia parts apparently a jab at the united states and all the western sanctions. pentagon spokesperson john kirby was warned of the test ahead of time. the white house says it's not worried. timing and scoping of will russia's missile test do not -- it was noticed through the proper process and the department of defense has spoken to this as well. >> and in the coastal city of mariupol here in ukraine, a dire standoff between ukrainian marines along with innocent women and children hiding in a steel plant and using its underground tunnels essentially starving to death. russia also reportedly dropping bombs on them. this morning, russia president vladimir putin is now claiming he has ordered his troops to no longer storm that plant and instead blockade the facility so that not even a fly can get through. so forcing the ukrainians to surrender or i do. >> this is a case where we must think. i mean, we always must think but in this case no so about preserving the lives and health of our soldiers and officers. there is no reasons to fly into cat combs and crawl under ground. block off this industrial area so that a fly cannot pass through. also this morning, bloomberg news is reporting that a small but growing number of high level players in russia including those within putin's circle now worry that this war with set russia back for years there is increasing shared fear that putin could turn to a limited use of nuclear weapons if his campaign fails. president biden is set to address the situation here in ukraine this morning. back to you guys in new york. >> steve: that's right. hey, matt, the kremlin says they have submitted a draft of demands for ending the war now that they have got mariupol. do we have any idea what's on the paper? >> not entirely sure, but one thing putin is saying over and over again. he insists that they have captured all of mariupol which is questionable because there are essentially thousands of ukrainian troops who remain in that city. so we are wondering how he can claim he has captured that city while there are still ukrainian troops in that standoff. >> steve: they say they have liberated mariupol. thank you. >> ainsley: some countries are pledging further, heavier weaponry to aid in ukraine's fight. this thing is called the satan 2. that's what nato calls it or ss 18 satan which sounds pretty scary. rs 28 r mat and replaces 36. it can deliver a pay load big enough the size of france. >> brian: they are admitting russia that they're taking losses but they say they are winning this has nothing to do with this battle. this is to tell the rest of the world they have rockets. already knew to have rockets. seems to be an act of desperation. according to the treaty this administration left in place they have got to tell us ahead of time that they did that they were launching it the u.s. ironic. evidently in 2010. we purchased mi-17 helicopters from russia to put into afghanistan because the afghanistan government wanted them and we thought these helicopters are perfect for this region. they seem to do better in afghanistan than ones we have. even though there was some tongues about buying from russia and giving to afghanistan. they did it anyway. but we never delivered them. guess who is getting them now? >> ainsley: ukraine. brian brian who knows how to work them because it has the russian technology that's great. also, congratulations to spain and denmark. you sent your prime ministers to go see president zelenskyy yesterday. i hope we are to do that again soon. one thing really getting under vladimir putin's skin finland and sweden making all the signs that come june or sooner they will formally ask for and get admission into nato. his worst nightmare. >> steve: that's right. meanwhile senator lindsey graham had this observation about what's hang with russia could actually somehow spill over to china? here he is is sean. >> i went to australia. i went to taiwan and japan. afghanistan looms large. serve doubting america's resolve after afghanistan. but the fight the ukrainian people are giving to the russians has inspired the taiwanese. about to change their conscription laws to make people serve longer. to go to a civil defense force. america needs to up its game in asia. there is doubt about america. i haven't seen this doubt since i have been in congress. and we need to remove that doubt by giving more weapons to the taiwanese. showing up in australia as a more reliable partner and japan is expanding their deference footprint we should encourage that. >> brian: get their attention that includes india and south korea as well as japan. top military general told our secretary of defense in a very unique meeting yesterday lloyd austin that taiwan is part of china and warns relations will crumble as the pentagon and top brass prepare to meet with taiwan officials and we have pledged to them weapons. we have not delivered them. we know the defense weapons they need. we have them. and it's time for us to go down there and just say taiwan is our ally. they have paid for this. we have to give it to them. if we allow them to steam roll taiwan we waivelgly is given up the south china sea and what message are you sending to india and south korea, japan, any of our allies in the region. vietnam, which is now more of an ally to us than china. that we're just going to knuckle under. we are not playing a role here. >> ainsley: we should be sending weapons to taiwan. >> brian: absolutely right now. let china -- you will have your hands full. they haven't fought a war since the squirmish they had in 1979. >> steve: a lot going on here in new york city. carley joins us with that here is captivated the country. >> carley: i do have update on murder investigation of a queens mother of two found dead in a duffle bag. police sources telling the "new york post" they think whoever killed gaal did not slam the attack because there is a trail of evidence left behind. and they are now scouring the scene for the killer's d.n.a. right now investigators are reportedly looking at multiple suspects and they do want to question that handyman who reportedly had an affair with gaal and knew the location of a spare key to her home. an arizona wildfire triples in size exploding more than 19 acres. the tunnel fire bringing flames as high as 100 feet to the outskirts of flagstaff. officials say they have evacuated over 760 homes. heavy winds and dry grass driving those fires to grow with the national weather service predicting more strong winds today. the fire is zero percent contained as arizona officials fear this wildfire seen could be more catastrophic than in prior years. chaos at the capitol. capitol police giving the all-clear after a parachute display at washington nationals game mistaken as capitol threat. the capitol building and surrounding offices were evacuated yesterday. capitol police quick quickly reversed all part of a military appreciation display where military parachutists dropped from the sky as part of the. the nationals went on to lose to the arizona diamondbacks score of 11-2. better to be safe than sorry on that one. over to you. >> steve: carley, how is it about a mile from the capitol nobody called the capitol police by the way we are going to have an airplane fly in low over washington and a bunch of people are going to jump outs?

to his district to our nation's capitol because he refused to, quote: be treated like livestock under the transportation mask mandate. that's now in question. we have all been dealing with this. as courts call the requirement unconstitutional. biden's cdc and doj vowed to fight for reinstatement. congressman massey of kentucky hopes airline hiatus can finally come to an end. congressman, you must have been so relieved but the fight is on still, right? >> still on. there are still multiple lawsuits going on. by the way, the cdc claims that this statute that allows them fume gait insects, sanitize doorknobs and destroy livestock gives them the authority to treat humans like livestock, insect and doorknobs. no you don't have that authority. there will be a battle here. i think that joe biden should work on trying to establish the cdc non-exsis tent credibility instead of trying to litigate their nonexistent legal authority. >> brian: that's it. the cdc asked the doj to help them out and they're. going to appeal to a court that's traditionally conservative the judicial appeals court in the 11th circuit and then probably go to the supreme court where they will lose again. so the cdc has a lot of credibility on the line if these courts say you don't have this authority, they can never even try it again. >> there are multiple lawsuits. i have got a lawsuit with 16 other congressman and rand paul here in kentucky which will go to the 6th circuit and the 5th circuit there is a lawsuit. so biden is going to have a lot of battles to fight here the doj. notice the one thing, brian, he has not done. he has not come to congress and asked us to actually ask us to pass the law. the people don't want this. and it's going to be -- it's going to be a shellacking in the midterms for the democrats if they keep pursuing something people don't want. >> brian: how do you figure this in the a.p. does a poll. 56% of the american people favor leaving the mask mandate in place on planes. 80% of them are democrats. how do you explain that? and do you believe this poll reflects the people that you've spoken to? >> well, look, all it takes is 20% of democrats to get fed up with the democrats in congress and it's going to be a landslide for republicans. but, just look at the poll on the airplane. you know, you got the a.p. poll, but how many people are voluntarily following cdc guidelines, which by the way. the cdc says you should still wear mask and virtually maybe 5% or 10% of people are listening to their pseudo science. people are fed up with it. >> brian:

traveled with them to talk about the issues that are mattering to us in our community. >> steve: but the commonwealth of massachusetts has been a very, very liberal state so for the governor to endorse you what should it say to the people watching right now about the attitude of the people of massachusetts up fluxion of migrants to our country. >> people of massachusetts like most states really don't want people coming in here in violation of the law is bristol company. where are they going? who is paying for then? where are they living? >> these are all great questions i know two things of interest. the people of massachusetts worry about incoming fentanyl, which young people a certain age. other thing is they are in your county. tell us a story about how many of the migrants just pull up to the local facility where you sign up for benefits and they do that every day? >> yeah. there is 10 destination distribution centers that the federal government created under the biden administration that they really didn't tell anybody about. and basically what happens is when people come across the border where are you going? massachusetts they give them the address of the burlington office in massachusetts and they are ask to report there voluntarily. they go there, they sign in. they are given a court date. maybe 8, 9 years down the road. and then they are also given a piece of paper say going to get a job. and we have the highest number of people coming in more than any other distribution center in the united states. >> steve: why do they go to massachusetts? >> well, massachusetts is obviously one of the states gives an awful lot of the benefits. book end ever the country with regards to california. so it's somewhere they are drawn to for the benefits. >> steve: okay. sheriff, before you go, let me give you 20, 30 seconds. what would you like to say to joe biden who apparently doesn't get what is happening on our southern border and how it's impacting people all across the country in places like bristol, massachusetts? >> well, i would tell president biden that it's time for him to stop ignoring the fact that mothers and fathers are walking into their kid's bedroom to go to work not waking up because of the fent he knows is pouring in over our southern border and communities and it's getting worse and worse and worse. he needs to standing up for the rule of law. he took the same oath i did. for him to turn his back on the american people and ignore the laws that people are required to follow to come into this country is outrageous. and he ought to be ashamed of himself. >> steve: all right. sheriff, we thank you very much for joining us today. good luck to you. >> thank you. thank you for having me, steve. great day. >> steve: real pleasure. 13 minutes before the top of the hour. adam is out on the street 1221 avenue of the americas with the "foxcast." >> good morning there, steve. a little bit cool out here still. we are

should run for election in 2024. >> no. >> no, i don't. >> it would be embarrassing to the party and the public in general. >> i think he should. has he gotten everything done that i want him to see done? no. but he is a long way forward from where we coming from. >> if he doesn't decide to run i would vote for him. i think he should give the opportunity to his vice president. >> no, i don't think he should run for re-election. >> those voters speaking out as bernie sanders drops a major hint about his plans for 2024 in a memo to supporters. the progressive senators 2020 campaign manager writes n the event of an open 2024 presidential primary senator sanders has not ruled out another run for president. so we advise that you answer any questions about 2024 with that in mind. fox news contributor lara trump is here to react. good morning, lara. >> good morning, ainsley. >> ainsley: so the hill is reporting that joe biden told barack obama that he does plan to run for re-election and one source says that biden doesn't believe any other democrat can beat president donald trump. former president donald trump. what do you think? >> well, i mean you just heard from there from some of the folks right outside of d.c. i mean, i think donald trump got 3% of the vote roughly in washington, d.c. so if those folks are saying they have no confidence in joe biden. i think we should take that to heart. we know that his poll numbers are incredibly low. and it's almost like the shark circling the boat now because they smell blood in the water. how many times, ainsley, have we heard about hillary clinton possibly making a comeback, possibly running for president again? now bernie sanders is a possible contender. bernie sanders by the way will be 83 years old by the time 2024, the election rolls around. it's a tough spot the democrats are in because they have no great prospects. obviously no one believes truly that joe biden, with historically low poll numbers is actually going to run again. he has demonstrated in one year in office just over a year in office how bad a job one can actually do. the measure people -- american people are suffering because of it the world now suffering because of it and see these people bernie sanders coming back. the problem is i think people are going to be a little gun shy when it comes to voting for somebody who is 83 years old. my goodness, we have seen how embarrassing it's been having a president who clearly is a little tooled or has a cognitive issue like joe bidens when he out there on the world stage. it does not bode well for america. as a republican, i do want joe biden to get back in to take another run of it? absolutely i do. i think it means that the republicans, whoever it might be, possibly donald trump, would, without a doubt, win that election but we will have to wait and see what happens. >> ainsley: who has a better shot bernie sanders or joe biden? we have become so progressive as a country and all the young people probably would vote for bernie sanders. >> well, if you ever wanted to know what radical progressive policies look like in america, look no further than joe biden. he has implemented a lot of them. and you see, again, in a little over a year of his tenure in office how bad that has been for america. look at our high gas price. look at inflation. look at you are ostanding on the world stage. look at some of the ridiculous policies like our energy policies that we know bernie sanders have woo have agreed with. how bad it's been for america. it's a tough call. but, man, two bad choices feel bad for the democrats. >> ainsley: yeah, bernie is a socialist. thank you so much for coming on with us this morning. >> thanks, ainsley. >> ainsley: you are welcome. a home run turns

there in the 70s. 70 is the high today and 50 is the low. >> steve: kind of looks like the ferris wheel is missing a car. >> ainsley: i noticed that too. >> brian: ferris wheel overrated i can't

biden was asked by a reporter out on the tarmac. what do you say to travelers regarding masks -- this was after the judge down in florida said take them off. >> brian: when the rabbit pulled him away. >> steve: two days ago he said that's up to travelers whether or not they wear the mask. yesterday the cdc said no, it's up to us. the doj now is going to appeal that florida judge ruling that struck down the transportation mask mandate. now, if a stay is ordered, that would immediately force many airlines, airports, and mass transit including uber and everybody else to have people mask up all across the country again and as you look at those people without the mask, they will probably say hey, i threw my mask away. i thought i could get away with not wearing a mask anymore. >> ainsley: if you want to please everybody, give everybody the option. that way if you do want to wear your mask, you can. if you don't, you don't have to. >> brian: keep in mind what he said because i guess he is not allowed to make any decisions because he said it should be up to people's choices. let me just tell you i flew tuesday and wednesday. first time 50% of the people had masks on. on the way home last night, i would say about 10% of the people had the mask on. nobody had in the airport. zero people in the airport. no flight attendants have it on. you know it means something when the pilots and flight attendants in the airlines themselves say we need to take these masks off when in theory they are the ones flying more than anybody else. and they're the ones in the line of fire. you have got -- this is a bridge too far. legally, evidently the tenth district is extremely -- is going to be a long haul and big upset. conservative court and supreme court staring straight ahead. the cdc is putting its credibility on the line saying i want a radio-do on this. by the time it's done the cdc will realize it does not have the power it thinks it does. the american people are already fed up with that organization who is consistently over the last two years led us down, given us misinformation and fallen prey to politics. >> ainsley: this is just to preserve their legal authority this was supposed to end on may 3rd not too far from now anyway. this was to show that we're strong. well, maybe so. >> brian: they keep extending it. >> ainsley: here in new york, when one of my friends her kids took the masks off in school. they literally cheered in the gymnasium for 15 minutes. the same thing happened on planes. there is a flight attendant that walked through the aisles with that trash bag singing take your mask off. throw your masks away in this bag. walch just in case you haven't seen some of this video. >> the mask mandate. [cheers. [this moment, if you choose to, you may remove your mask. >> congratulations. the government's position is masks will be optional this evening for all crew and passengers as well. be ♪ throw away your masks in the blue bag ♪ throw away your mask. [cheers and applause] >> steve: everybody was so happy. keep in mind, the biden administration, they said oh, it's going to be up to the cdc because the doj initially declined to immediately appeal it. clearly, the administration cannot have a loss, you know, six months out before a midterm election. one has impacted every person in the united states of america we are about to play for you a soundbite with jen psaki where she is talking about public polling. a.p. did a poll just before the judge struck down the mandate. 56%. a majority of americans favor keeping the masks on in planes and trains. now, 24% were opposed and 20 said we don't have any feeling for or against, obviously, they don't travel. >> ainsley: i just don't feel like that's a threat. >> steve: it breaks down along political lines. 80% of democrats like masks. they favor masks. republicans 33% favor masks and 45% are opposed. so there is a blue america. there is a red america # interest is mask america and unmasked america at o'hare as you see. >> brian: other thing just to bring this forward a little bit. they are not stopping. they are telling you in philadelphia, in new york, and boston, they are not lifting -- in san francisco, they are not lifting the mask mandates for those cities. so technically. i'm in laguardia yesterday. not one person, cliewcketd the tsa said to put a mask on. but, by these rules, they are telling you to do it. tell you to do it long island railroad. i haven't worn a mask there in about a year. no one says a word to me. >> ainsley: keep in mind you are saying this walking through laguardia you said or jfk? new york, i think there are four or five democrats to every one republican. if you are not seeing masks here, then that polling cannot be accurate. >> brian: what are they doing? continue to go out of their way to divide. the president can say yeah the courts ruled like made in mexico he ignores it the courts rule let people make their own choice. the administration someone like susan rice no, no, you have quote to go fight this further dividing the country. when every time you have an opportunity to maybe back off and let people make their own decisions let's go make this a wedge issue. just idiocy. here is jobe p jen psaki. >> you said a minute ago literal lay personal choice whether people decide to put the mask on or not on planes. does that messaging still reflect a shift for you all and maybe some degree a capitulation to just the mood of the public about wanting to be over this pandemic or people who have politicized the wearing of masks in the first place? >> what the president was speaking to is of course are we are not currently implementing the mask mandate, it is not a requirement. so people can choose, even as we recommended, i know this is often said and maybe some of it is because there was a video of people on planes -- on one plane taking off their masks. public polling does not actually show that there is a universal view of people getting rid of masks. >> steve: so, here's the thing. the cdc is telling the courts the coronavirus is not over and that's why people need to mask up on, you know, planes, trains and automobiles. driven by an uber driver. so the cdc is saying covid not over. but by the fact that the administration is going to lift title 42 on may 23rd, the department of homeland security is saying covid is over. so which one is it? it is covid over or is it not? because the federal government is sending mixed messages. >> ainsley: so brian interviewed congressman thomas massi. i loved the interview because he said he wasn't going to get on the airplane because he didn't want to wear a mask he drove seven hours from kentucky to d.c. >> brian: in a tesla. >> steve: how many times did he have to pull over and plug in? >> ainsley: listen to what he said about this. >> the cdc claims that this statute that allows them to fume gate insects, sanitize doorknobs and destroy livestock gives them the authority to treat humans like livestock, i object second and doorknobs. the court says no you don't have that authority. the cdc should try to establish its nonexistent authority. instead of nonbeings sis tent legal authority. biden is going to have a lot of battles to fight here the doj. unless one thing brian he has not done. he has not come to congress and asked us to actually pass a law. because of the people don't want this. and it's going to be -- i mean, it's going to be a shellacking in the mid terms for the democrats if they keep pursuing something that people don't want. >> steve: and that's just it. do you want masks on planes or not? you know, the cdc says one thing. we're going to leave it up to a judge. if the judge says yep, mask up. there is going to be trouble. >> ainsley: this judge 11th circuit most conservative court in the country. >> brian: i see penal wearing shields. i don't judge you. just let us do our own thing. this administration to the last moment is going to hold onto the power they have with this pandemic. and it's just alienating more and more people. >> ainsley: i agree with you. >> brian: over and over again they go out of their way. incredible. >> ainsley: some people are wearing the shields or masks because they have elderly parent at home they don't want to get sick. everyone has a different situation. >> steve: absolutely. meanwhile the white house is also -- we were just talking about this. the white house is ruling out any chance of keeping title 42 in place. >> ainsley: this as multiple sources reveal the fox news border patrol agents have already stopped enforcing the order on illegal immigrants from guatemala, honduras and el salvador. >> brian: really? isn't that the root cause of this? jacqui heinrich at the white house as even democrats beg biden in some cases to keep the trump era policy in place. hey, jacqui. >> good morning, to you brian, steve and ainsley. picking up on the conversation you just wrapped up. rerm there were some democrats saying you can't end title 42 and not end masks on planes. well, see what's happening now. the biden administration, according to white house press secretary jen psaki is preparing and planning for title 42 to end on may 23rd, despite reports that the inner circle, the president's inner circle is weighing whether or not they should actually follow through with that listen. >> the president or are you guys having discussions with advisers about delaying the removal of title 42? >> well, i would, again, remind everyone who gave me the thank you so thank you. title 2 is not immigration authority. i will get -- i will get to your question. i promise, peter. it is a public health authority. so right now we are planning and preparing for the end ever title 42 enforcement on may 23rd. >> psaki also stopped short of promising additional funding for ice as it deals with a surge of illegal migration. but said there are, quote: a range of options to pull from including other agencies and engaging with congress. sorry about the lawn mower behind me. there we go. more and more lawmakers are breaking with the biden administration on title 42. the latest is ohio rep tim ryan. he said prematurely ending this policy without a path forward does nothing to keep americans safe. support our border patrol agents. protect asylum seekers or bring about the comprehensive fix our immigration system needs. ryan joins 9 democratic senators who have opposed lifting title 42. including gary peter, chris coons, mark kelly, care discontinue sinema. warnock, masto, joe manchin and jon tester plus congressman henry cuellar and nevada democratic governor james sisolak. now, the number of illegal crossings surged to 209906 in march which surpassed the previous high from july which was the highest number since march of 2000, guys. >> steve: jackie, kudos to the to you that the fact that the street sweeper went by first and then an ambulance and you kept your train of thought. >> you heard that too. >> steve: here it comes. listen. there it goes. [laughter] somebody is cleaning up the white house. that guy. >> brian: they got to get it done before good morning america. >> ainsley: jacqui, you bring up a good point though. is covid better or worse now? they want everyone to wear mask here in america on our planes and trains and whatever. subways but, yet, the illegal immigrants, i guess covid has gotten a lot better. so they can end title 42? >> steve: they don't take uber. >> that was a point was made if it is done at the border why isn't it done on planes and public transportation. a lot of people said that's a pretty logical question to ask and now we see the biden administration making sure that that is not the case. >> steve: now jacqui is going to go into the briefing room where you do not need to wear a mask. >> correct. >> ainsley: on air force one you do. we are very confused. >> brian: border is broken with title 42 in place or not. here is the problem bill melugin reported over the weekend and not effectively explained by the border patrol itself. you win title 42 turn almost everyone around and they are not. donald trump was turning away 80 to 58% of the people crossing under title 42. these guys say 5%. i have guarantee you it is less. getting single males coming across without an explanation, not supposed to be here. supposed to be turned around immediately they are not. you are seeing the buses being dropped off in d.c. you are seeing these people with fresh outfits given to them by catholic charities. you see the toiletry bags that we all paid for. you see the flights last night in west chester county. in the "new york post" of these illegal immigrants landing in west chester county. >> ainsley: we know they do it we catch them. why are they doing it in the middle of the night anymore. >> brian: title 42 stopped the problem now will hurt it even more. this is a mess. the administration doesn't even send people down to see it for themselves. >> steve: now they have got masks. did you see that? that's something new. >> brian: 15 minutes now after the hour. manhunt for the killer of a new york mother heating up as sources tell "the new york post." multiple suspects are being investigated. >> ainsley: also learning about a piece of evidence that the killer might have left behind. steve: todd piro joins us with the development. todd, you know, the killer left a lot of clues. >> todd: this was not apparently a sophisticated killer steve, ainsley and brian this morning. police sources telling the "new york post" that gaal's murder left a quote sloppy crime scene leaving investigators to believe attack was not planned. bloody boots left at the scene being tested for d.n.a. investigators hope will identify the killer. the queens mother of two was stabbed nearly 60 times. her body discovered less than a half mile from her queens home stuffed into a bloody duffle bag. a person pictured here wheeling that bag down the street saturday morning, the grizzly incident rocking the normally quiet forest hills community. >> i was shocked. >> why? >> because i never expected anything like that to happen. she was a lovely lady. always very attentive to her family, her kids. she was amazing person and she is going to be missed from all of us. she is really just wonderful. >> todd: right now investigators reportedly looking at multiple suspects and they want to question that exhandyman we have been talking about for a few days now who apparently had an affair with gaal and knew the location spare key to her home which also allegedly had an extensive security system with surveillance cameras leading investigators to believe as steve mentioned whoever killed gaal had access to her home and did so without breaking in. nevertheless, pretty sloppy. guys, bark to you. >> ainsley: any reason why they can't find this guy? >> steve: you mean the handyman? >> there are reports speculate they already have him. know where he is. they are trying to draw it out. why haven't they reported it is anybody's guess. >> steve: also, if they have got the killer's boots there is going to be d.n.a. in the boots. >> ainsley: correct. >> steve: the police believe she was followed home by the killer who saw her in that bar as she sat there for 40 minutes talking on her phone. >> ainsley: maybe it's not the handyman. did she walk from the bar. >> brian: yep. >> steve: she did indeed. more on this throughout the day. meanwhile, carley joins us right now with news from yonkers. >> carley: staying in new york. police detective in critical condition after being shot during under cover sting operation in yonkers new york. officials say it was anti-gun operation with the fbi. authorities plain clothes were attempting to buy firearm at bow decision go. bow did he go go. the suspect was shot and killed by fbi agent two others taken into custody. the detective shot is thankfully expected to recover. actor johnny depp testified in defamation case against ex-wife amber heard yesterday. depp telling the jury how heard's abuse allegations have affected his career. >> what have you lost as a result of her making these allegations against you. >> nothing less than everything. nothing less than everything. >> carley: during the trial he also recounted a particularly violent incident, which allegedly resulted in depp severing his finger. caught on camera. a brawl breaking out in the middle of a college baseball game. the texas college pitcher tackling a base run his or her hit a home run. the college junior gave up the go ahead run texas batter who to the ground and body slammed him rounding third base. of the head coach of weather ford college condoning the attack. check out that video, tensions were high, they say. condemning the attack. >> brian: i don't think he supported it. >> carley: difference in definitions are huge, brian. that's why they pay you the big bucks. >> brian: if you see a guy hit a homer you don't like him. >> steve: someone hit a home run and hockey broke out. >> ainsley: that's why i go to hockey game i don't mind it i'm kidding. >> brian: we don't condone those comments. car char in michael cohen you can condone it. >> brian: all done in five minutes. >> ainsley: coming up milwaukee mask hysteria. wisconsin parents outraged after public schools mandate masks for students one day after making it optional ♪ ♪ and we need more time. so, we want kisqali. women are living longer than ever before with kisqali... ..when taken with an aromatase inhibitor or fulvestrant in postmenopausal women or in men with hr+, her2- metastatic breast cancer. kisqali is a pill that's significantly more effective at delaying disease progression versus an aromatase inhibitor or fulvestrant alone. kisqali can cause lung problems, or an abnormal heartbeat, which can lead to death. it can cause serious skin reactions, liver problems, and low white blood cell counts that may result in severe infections. tell your doctor right away if you have new or worsening symptoms, including breathing problems, cough, chest pain, a change in your heartbeat, dizziness, yellowing of the skin or eyes, dark urine, tiredness, loss of appetite, abdomen pain, bleeding, bruising, fever, chills, or other symptoms of an infection, a severe or worsening rash, are or plan to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. avoid grapefruit during treatment. ask your doctor about living longer with kisqali. ♪ we could walk forever ♪ ( ♪♪ ) ♪ walking on ♪ ♪ walking on the moon ♪ ♪ some ♪ ♪ may say ♪ ♪ i'm wishing my days away ♪ ♪ no way ♪ ♪ walking on the moon ♪ your shipping manager left to “find themself.” leaving you lost. you need to hire. i need indeed. indeed you do. indeed instant match instantly delivers quality candidates matching your job description. visit indeed.com/hire when it comes to tech, matchieveryone wants theption. next best thing. now with xfi complete from xfinity, you can get updated wifi technology with the new tech upgrade program. plus, protection from cyber threats at home and now on the go. so staying up to date is easier than ever. you look great by the way. right?

>> well, ainsley, russia is testing new missiles because current missiles are very old. this is a test we knew about. they announced it in advance of the arms control agreement. it is a difference between vladimir putin and joe biden. he goes forward with his tests and uses it to threaten the west. we also have routine missile tests that we use for our current missile forces. yet, joe biden earlier this month canceled a routine missile test because he didn't want to do anything that would be provocative or escalatory. vladimir putin sees that the west is still on the back foot. second, russia has a 10 to 1 advantage on what you might call tactical or battlefield nukes. nuclear warheads small enough to go on artillery shell. we started in the trump administration to try to restore a sea launch cruise missile nuclear capable that the obama administration defunded. we did that because we wanted vladimir putin to think that we had the ability and the will to counter those smaller nuclear wednesday precisely so he wouldn't be emboldened to use them. third, we also need to upgrade our nuclear missiles. they are 50 years old. democrats like elizabeth warren in congress are drying to stop that. in fact, liberals like bernie sanders actually are legislation that would defund our nuclear missiles and give the money instead to tony fauci and the cdc so they can keep making toddlers wear masks on airplanes. >> brian: unbelievable. let's if we can pivot over to by the way they just did a poll. the -- they asked president biden's response to the russian invasion of ukraine. they asked the american people how far is he doing? 54 percent said not tough enough. 36% about right. 8 percent said too tough. you stand on not tough enough. i get it but over to what is happening with china. this directly effects it yesterday, in an extraordinary meeting between our secretary of defense and theirs. they warned us that -- warned us not to do anything because they consider taiwan part of the -- of china. and they basically told us it would shatter our relationships if we decided to arm taiwan. what should we do? >> well, brian, we should be doing in taiwan exactly what we should have been doing in ukraine over the last year. before russia invaded. we should arm taiwan even more than we have done for the last 40 years. we should give them the kind of weapons, like anti-aircraft missiles or antiship missiles or smart mines for the taiwan straight that would deter china from ever going for the juggler. put troops there not in large numbers but in numbers sufficient to train the taiwanese military. train them on new weapons that we might provide them. train them on ways to reform their reserve system which they really need to defend if china goes for the juggler in taiwan. finally we should be very explicit with china, which we have never been, that if they invade taiwan we will come to taiwan's aid respect allies like japan and south korea would follow us on. that was and just a word on this meeting. it's disappointing to the see the secretary of defense did not push back aggressively on this threatening threatening rhetoric from his counterpart in china it reminds me of last year when the secretary of state met with his counterpart in alaska and the chinese foreign minister berated tony blinken with blm talking points and tony blinken took it and apologized for america. we need our secretaries when they're meeting with their counterparts around the world to be firm and strong in the deference of america's interest and allies. >> steve: all right. senator tom cotton joining us from the d.c. area. senator, thank you very much. >> ainsley: thank you. >> thank you. >> steve: coming up, more backlash for the woke world of disney as the florida senate votes to end disney's special tax status. sunshine state resident rob smith says this will teach other woke companies to stay out of politics. rob, coming up next. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ my asthma felt anything but normal. ♪♪ it was time for a nunormal with nucala. nucala is a once monthly add-on treatment for severe eosinophilic asthma that can mean less oral steroids. not for sudden breathing problems. allergic reactions can occur. get help right away for swelling of face, mouth, tongue, or trouble breathing. infections that can cause shingles have occurred. don't stop steroids unless told by your doctor. tell your doctor if you have a parasitic infection. may cause headache, injection site reactions, back pain, and fatigue. ask your asthma specialist about a nunormal with nucala. ♪ ♪ steve big news yesterday, the florida state senate has voted to strip disney of its self-governing status which has allowed its amusement park to operate like its own government for about 50 years. it was a sweet deal. the move comes following disney's opposition to florida's parental rights law after it passed. here with reaction florida resident and founder and president of the douglas society rob smith joins us from florida. rob, good morning to you. >> good morning, good morning. >> steve: you know, disney has such a sweet deal. they were beloved by the entire world. but now that they have become woke as a corporation, have the country is hacked off at them. >> yeah. you know, it took disney about 100 years to create this really strong family friendly brand and it seems it's only a couple months to really destroy that brand. you know. people are kind of standing up against this. i think what's going on right now is that governor antioxidants is really putting disney and by extension a lot of these other woke corporations on notice that they really should not be involved in these sort of culture war issues that the left always wants to drag them into. now, at first i thought that this was kind of like an offensive modify by governor ron desantis against disney because disney came out with that statement. i look at the statement disney made. they said it is their goal to repeal the rental rights and education law in the legislature and get it struck down in the courts. i would argue that disney really struck the first blow here. and i would tell all these conservatives that are sort of like hemming and hawing about how governor ron desantis is being so mean to disney. i would say they should take a look at that statement disney put out about this law. >> steve: round table with people who lived down in florida. one mother said they canceled their disney season pass after disney went woke. somebody else said they canceled disney plus. if you are a stockholder, in disney, which millions, and millions of americans are through their 401(k)s, you have got to be thinking why did this company who used to make money hand over fist decide to go woke? >> yeah. you know what? i would say that it's not even about deciding to go woke. it is about the fact that they could not resist the unyielding pressure of the woke left. remember, just a couple of months ago when the woke left decided that georgia's voting law was racist and they pressured the all-star game game to move from georgia to colorado, right? and so that was another thing that just kind of like blew up. so right now, i think what companies and corporations need to realize is that it does not help them to get into the battles that the woke left on twitter wants to drag them into. the only thing disney really had to do was not to respond to this was so say okay, we hear our lgbtq employees or whatever not go forceful into this way. it is a disaster. it is a p.r. disaster. it is a sharbled disaster. and this is really, really damaging disney's brand. i think a lot of corporations are going to be looking at this and saying when the next thing comes around, i'm not getting involved. >> steve: no kidding. an exclusive in the "new york post" today because the current ceo has fumbled it so badly they are talking, perhaps, about bringing bob ig gore who ran the company very successfully for decades bringing it back. >> right. >> steve: rob, thank you very much for joining us from florida. >> all right. thanks a lot. >> steve: you bet. all right. it is about a quarter before the top of the hour. and carley joins us with some headlines. >> carley: that's right. i certainly do. horrific story to report here. indiana state police say the body of an unidentified young boy was found stuffed in a suitcase with a las vegas design on the front. a washington county resident found the boy located in a heavily wooded area. an autopsy on the boy was conducted but the cause of death has not been released. investigators believe the child was around 5 years old. record fundraising for the rnc, the republican national committee raising over $17 million last month bringing their total first quarter fundraising to 47 million. that is 5 million higher than what the dnc raised during the same time. national party fundraising is usually a key barometer of voter enthusiasm ahead of the midterm election. of the money raised can be used for party staffing in key battle grounds and grassroots get out the vote efforts as well. tennis star novak djokovic coming out against wimbledon's ban on russian and bell resolution players in this year's tournament. officials announcing they will not be able to compete due to the invasion of ukraine. djokovic calling the decision crazy saying the athletes had nothing to do with the ongoing conflict adding, quote: i would always condemn war. i will never support war being myself a child of war. those are your headlines. check in with meteorologist adam klotz with our fox weather forecast. hey, adam. >> good morning, carley. feeling a little more pleasant out here on fox square this morning as we are seeing a barackdown of winter weather we have been tracking the last several days. couple of spots hanging on to frost and freeze alerts here early this morning. temperatures still down into the 30's. interior new england look off toward the west you see 50's there building into the midwest. that is where there is a line of showers and it's really the most significant weather feature out there this morning as you are seeing rain now move into ohio and stretching down into the southeast. finally, if you look at those temperatures for your forecasted highs today. warmer. the center of the country running up into the mid 70s, 74. west texas is going to be running up into the 90's today where there is a whole lot of warmth. feeling more like string mere than the second half of the week than the first half of the week. those are the weather headlines for now tossing it back in to you, steve. >> steve: all right, adam. thank you. very much. come on in. a loudoun county virginia firefighter is trading in her helmet for a crown. miss virginia 20 u.s.a. ready to compete in the miss u.s.a. pageant live with her plan ahead on "fox & friends." ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ we could walk forever ♪ ( ♪♪ ) ♪ walking on ♪ ♪ walking on the moon ♪ ♪ some ♪ ♪ may say ♪ ♪ i'm wishing my days away ♪ ♪ no way ♪ ♪ walking on the moon ♪ ♪ limu emu ♪ and doug. ♪ harp plays ♪ only two things are forever: love and liberty mutual customizing your car insurance, so you only pay for what you need.

clay travis who works remotely joins us right now. for him it is a quality of live thing. how about that for the longest time, i can't comment because of covid. i can come in because i don't have enough money, you know, i left at the end of the week to even afford to go across the street. >> steve, when you look at a .5% inflation and gas prices well over $4 a gallon, i will give an example of something happened in nashville where i live. i was headed down to birmingham actually for the usfl over the weekend. when i pulled into the gas station, noticed a person it would come in right before me had put in 1 gallon of gas for $4.21. and it just really just really personified how many people out there are struggling deeply with the price of gas such that they are putting our gallon or two at a time so that they can make that daily drive that they may have to get to work and they don't have a lot of money in her bank account. inflation is a tax on people who spend the majority of their funds on day-to-day life. i have been there before. a lot of viewers out there have been. the 8.5% bites when you are having to spend virtually every dollar that you make on work. there's a lot of people out there that many of the they spend to get to work is a huge part of their overall budget. it is breaking many of those budgets unfortunately. >> it's a $20 toll to come into manhattan on my bridge. when you park your car, it's 50 or $75. for our show, it would be $100 worth of parking. the low taxicab. >> -- >> steve: goldman sachs the big investment firm, they had people complaining, you know, you don't give us enough of the dinner allowance. currently they are only getting $25 a day for dinner. they go i can't even afford to go across the street to aaa. some people are complaining that the dunkin' donuts iced latte is $4 or salad is $12. what's happening is now people who like working from home need an excuse. they are saying essentially, pay me more money or i am going to work in my pajamas. >> there is no doubt. you mention the cost of all the fast foods that are sowing right now. how about what happened with netflix yesterday. netflix is gone from another hundred billion dollar market cap to 100 billion. one reason is people are sharing passwords. that is certainly cost-saving maneuver. a lot of people are making the decision -- i've got three or four favorite shows. i will go ahead and cut netflix for six months. it will save me 70 or 80 bucks and come back and bench watch everything for a month. instead of paying $180 a year for netflix, i will go ahead and paid 15 or 20. everyone is trying to stretch that dollar as the biden economy continues to take more and more of a cost. it is a massive issue i think for people all over the country and everybody is doing what they can to save money. >> steve: who needs netflix when you got out kick.com? >> also "fox & friends." i will point that out as well. >> steve: thank you very much for joining us from your basement. >> ceiling rooftop here, but i appreciate it. >> steve: at them either up or down. i have to 50% chance. thank you, sir. so i had, the nfl draft kicks off anyway. greg olsen is here with first-round predictions and how you can win by $15 million by guessing those pictures correctly. our good friend country star trace atkins joins us live and you're not going to want to miss it. this is... ♪♪ this is iowa. we just haven't been properly introduced. say hello to the place where rolling hills meets low bills. where our fields, inside and out, are always growing. and where the fun is just getting started. this is iowa. so, when are you coming to see us? ♪♪ i look back with great satisfaction on my 32 years of active duty. so, when are you coming to see us? i understand the veteran mentality. these are people who have served, they'e been in leadership positions, they're willing to put their life on the line if necessary and they come to us and they say, "i need some financial help at this point in time." they're not looking for a hand out, they're looking for a little hand up. my team at newday usa is going to do everything we possibly can to make sure that veteran gets that loan. why is guy fieri in the neighbors' kitchen? it's slider sunday! sliiiiiiiiii-der sunday! these chicken parm sliders on king's hawaiian rolls are fire! slider sunday! i want that. everything's better between king's hawaiian bread. mmm! >> actor johnny depp will be back on the stand today for cross examination after another day of explosive testimony in his defamation case against his ex-wife ever heard. joining us live from outside the courthouse in fairfax, virginia. what is the latest? what can we expect? >> he will take the stand at 10:00 this morning. he experienced about 20 minutes of cross examination jurors were sent home for the day to update jurors who have not been following the trial. he is suing ex-wife amber heard for a 2018 op-ed and was in "the washington post." she authored and then describe yourself as a victim of domestic violence. depp's name was never actually mentioned. >> other than mentioning the fact of abuse accusations that were made two years prior to the publication of this article, the opinion piece doesn't contain any details of your time together, correct? >> they were sneaky ways of writing things. >> depp spent the bulk of his time saying it was amber heard that attacked them multiple times. he was there filming "pirates of the caribbean 5." he said the tip of the figure came off when he threw vodka bottle thrown at him and is shattered. we have a picture of him in the hospital. >> i lost then no matter the outcome of this trial. i will carry that for the rest of my days. it never had to be that way. it never had that happen. and i don't quite understand why you did. in the way that it did. >> she will eventually take the stand i'm told she will say that she did it johnny depp but it was in self-defense. brian. >> all right, thanks so much. i appreciate it. let's change gears. one week away from the 2022 nfl draft. which players will go first? who won't? our next guest is a three-time pro bowler. drafted in the first draft in 2007. walmart tight tied into greg bell's here with this prediction and how you can win a lot of money. great to see you. are you keyed up for this draft as a broadcaster may be for the any time onset when you are a player? >> i think all of us as fans follow the draft. i think that is what makes the nfl so interesting it is kind of a 12 month calendar. every few months there is the combine and draft and in training camp ready to kick off the season. being in the game broadcasting games and following trends and whatnot. you know, this new crop of nfl players is huge. these are going to be the new faces, these are going to be the new stars of the league. like everyone else around the country, i will be watching in vegas to see who the crop is. >> brian: now it's you guys. baker mayfield has divided team. kyler murray might be looking to nuzzle his way out away from the cardinals. devo samuel may be the best wide receiver in football. what is your take on this changing the game? >> we are in a very interesting time right now in the nfl. you don't typically see the marquee players. you mention a few of them. kyler murray coming out with that letter, disgruntled wanting a new contract where the news breaks with the bow samuel say i want to be traded. i want to get a new contract and play somewhere else. more of an nba thing where guys would bounce around and kind of goat cheese championships in different cities. we are seeing marquee guys now find their voice and say, hey, i know my value. i know my worth. if you're not willing to give it to me here, i'm willing to go somewhere else and not only chase the championship to chase a new contract. it's a fascinating time right now. it paints how important these young workers are. their contracts are relatively cheap. you get them for five years. there is no contract disputes any more. these rookies are really valuable to these teams because they could really keep your cap numbers down. you can lock up hopefully a really good player for four or five years. >> brian: the reason why it is so important now is maybe want to make a move without traffic for an established player. when you have two first-round picks in the first round, you might have some maneuverability there. the first big overall, the jacksonville jaguars. we have an opportunity for everyone here in a matter of moments. i will tell you about it if you can get all 32 first-round picks selected. who do you expect jacksonville to go with? they don't need a quarterback. >> they got trevor lawrence last year. and up up-and-down year. understandably so, joining a full rebuild and everyone knows kind of how things went down last year with urban meyer and all that. this year maybe you would imagine they would go defense. there's a lot of edge rushes. aidan hutchinson is the presumed number one overall pick. there's a few other ones out there. when you don't need a quarterback and you don't need to go forth and change that, and really allows you to sit there and evaluate the entire board. who is the best player in this entire draft? we can have them on our team for the next four or five years. i'm sure jacksonville fans wish they weren't drafting number one overall for the second consecutive year. it's a great opportunity to add a talented player. we will see who they end up taking. >> gets their future on the board. aidan hutchinson you mentioned. you also have travanti walker of georgia. now jacksonville detroit in houston the first three picks. i understand that bloodline is making it possible for those geniuses out there or the nostradamuss amongst our audience if you can pick all 32 first-round selections correct, you will have an opportunity to win $15 million? >> you get. an additional first-round pick. it's a constant promotion. it is challenging. you have to sit down and really study the board. we have all the mock drafts and everyone wants to be an expert. if you can get all 32 first-round picks in order accurately, all fans 21 or older, bloodline will give you $15 million in their perfect draft challenge. you can go to the website and take a shot. i submitted mine. i will see if i am right. i don't imagine that i will be. it is a really cool challenge. it's a really cool promotion. i think fans are going to have a blast taking out crack at it. >> brian: there is a shot of you with six beers sitting at a bar. there's nothing better than that. it is good to be retired. greg olsen, thanks so much. >> i appreciate it, guys. >> brian: you have some breaking news. >> breaking news group police making an arrest following the murder of a new york city mother out to. officials say the suspect is named david. he is 44 years old. facing murder, criminal trespassing, and criminal possession of a weapon charge c. her body was found in a double bag under an overpass over the weekend. we are going to have more of this coming up. a major development in this ongoing case. >> is that the handyman? we will find out. >> brian: still ahead, we are learning more than 40 illegal immigrants on the terror watch list have been arrested since president biden took office at the border. texas congressman chip roy's leading calls for transparency on the border in the crisis that is ongoing. that is next. starve yourself to lose weight?

what led to that? what led to the investigation trying to find out the true numbers? >> you are asking the question that every american is asking right now and jen psaki is dismissing. bill melugin is out there doing such great reporting. he had seen something like 23 or got information that there were 23. we got the information the same day or week. we sent a letter last august. it took eight months. my office finally got a response back a month later for the detailed questions we had asked. one of which they answered indicating that there were 42 individuals arrested with known ties to, you know, terrorists. they were on the terror watch list. that's a real problem. the thing is, jen psaki dismisses that and says that's .000 x of the encounter. jen psaki can't tell us how many people have come into our country who are known got aways. we know from the intelligence we are looking at in the information we get from border patrol agents that there has been some 5,000, 600,000, maybe 700,000 known got aways. they are the worst actors who come into the united states. in addition to the 42 individuals on the terror watch list, there are 480 that were stocked with known gang affiliations. to translate those numbers to the 500,000 or more got aways. none number coming out on a daily basis. 2,000 to come across our border every day. the border patrol agents can even get to. what is disturbing about this is the extent that they just dismiss this as if we shouldn't care what's happening at our border. god bless bill melugin for seeking the facts. we're trying to do the same thing in congress. >> ainsley: the 23 number was up until december. now we are in the april, it's 42. when jen psaki says it is .00 x percent of how many are coming over, all it takes is one. >> that's right. that is the truth. we saw that obviously with a tragedy in new york in 2001 on 9/11. these are over stays. we've got people that we know to be dangerous individuals. it is not just the terror watch list. the 480 affiliation of gangs. the people coming in with massive criminal histories and we see the crimes committed to the united states. talk to the ranchers in south texas and getting impacted every day by criminal individuals. administration refuses to secure the border. it's on them and it's purposeful. >> ainsley: we are in the middle of inflation, highest in 40 years. we are paying for them. $338 million on infrastructure. $98 million on dollars on utilities and food. 33 -- $12 million on transportation by vehicle. look at the encounters in march. the highest in a very long time. we are probably going to see higher numbers in april because it's getting warmer and in may when title 42 ends, what can we expect? >> that is the exact question to ask. you know brandon and the people that i know and the people that i talk too regularly. we are looking at numbers that could explode from the current 7,000 or 8,000 a day up to 15,000 maybe even more a day if they repeal or stop enforcing title 42. we've got a way to solve that problem. that is the department of homeland security to continue to enforce title 42 and frankly go further and turn people away at the border. the american people are tired of this. i'm in texas right now in the district that i represent in austin and san antonio. i met with a bunch of people yesterday. they want our borders secured. they want to get the federal government out of the way. telling them what to do in living their lives. it's a simple prescription for the future of our country. that is why we are going to have a good november for republicans. >> ainsley: god bless you, too. god bless san antonio. i used to live there. we have a fox news alert. an arrest is made on the murder of a new york city murder. >> police arresting 40-year-old david overnight. a little bit after midnight. we expect to see him in the coming hours when the nypd takes him to jail. that's expected at around 10:00 a.m. this morning. he faces murder, criminal tampering, and criminal possession of weapon charges in connection to a brutal style it stabbing.the suspect admitted tg an argument with her at her for a school's home. her body was found with 60 stab wounds. this is the picture detectives were working from to identify. you can see the hockey bag right there presumably with her body inside being dragged down the road. police planning a press conference today at 11:30 a.m. these details is coming into the newsroom. they are limited at best. this is what we know. >> we don't know if this is the handyman. >> this is a 44-year-old man from this general area that has been arrested in connection with the case. he's charged with murder is extremely telling. that is the whole enchilada right there. >> steve: todd, thank you very much. at 10:00 right there, and our verb right now, the so-called walk will occur in the 12 precinct here in new york city. that is where they are obviously given all the news crews a heads up so that they can be there to take the pictures. at 11:30 this morning, there will be a press conference. our news regarding this story this morning was that apparently, the killer left behind blood-soaked boots over by the garbage can at that house. here's the thing. the other detail about that story was that the police were running the dna test on the boots to see if they could connect it to anybody they knew of. a dna test generally takes 24-72 hours. we are north of 100 hours after the murder. as a real good possibility it could be related to the dna. then again, it is the handyman. we don't know. >> ainsley: really nice neighborhood. this is for sales but a lot of people we work with are talking about the story because they live in this neighborhood. i was talking to one of the ladies downstairs. they said she lives here grew up in his neighborhood. there is the yellow police tape with lots of cam akers out there. 13-year-old asleep upstairs. they have that picture of her with it looks like a goldendoodle. they can all relate to this. it seemed like a normal american family. >> brian: the question is, is at the handyman? the assumption is they knew each other. the assumption is that he got in. he was allowed to get in pretty she was in the basement by herself in a bar. originally, they arrested a 13-year-old upstairs. handcuffed him and question him. the mom obviously, they say that this is telltale for a crime of passion. >> steve: one other detail in "the new york post" really is at all the breaking news. before this news broke that they now have a suspect in the case. police believe she was followed home by her killer who after murdering her put her in the duffel bag. so perhaps, this david was at the bar. he was spotted there. we do not know what the connection is with her. we don't know if they met that night. we don't know if they had ever met. >> ainsley: the neighborhood was on edge. now they are all relieved i'm sure that the murderer is caught. >> steve: you will see it all caught at 10:00 in the morning right here. >> ainsley: watching bill and dana show. >> brian: 6 minutes until bill and dana get the ball officially. what do you have coming up on your show? >> a ton of news. we could get a major ruling from the u.s. supreme court. we are standing by for that. the president is going to speak in the next hour. how bad is it in the southern town? how many civilians are dead? this could be mind-blowing. president biden addresses the war on that. how that that the fun movement affect african-americans? the head of the local chapter is here to address that. the dirty laundry playing out on television cameras to boot, johnny depp will be cross-examined this morning. this is ugly. we will see you guys about 5 minutes for that and a lot more coming up. >> steve: thank you. 5 minutes before the top of the yellow appeared in the meantime, we are going to switch gears and saddle abacus country star in front of the show trace adkins is on the hunt for the ultimate cowboy. >> calls going out from across america. >> i'm a fourth-generation rancher. >> if you think you're the best -- if you think you have what it takes -- then saddle up and prove it. >> ainsley: ultimate cowboy showdown is returning. a third season tonight. it will feature 14 competitors. vying for $50,000 worth of cattle to start their own ranch. >> brian: joining us now in their preview with a host of that show, country music star and does a great job with y2k, trace adkins. how do you like that they reality world, you are officially a success story in another venue? >> i don't know. i don't know how successful i am, but i'm having a blast doing it. you know, it is something i have enjoyed being a part of. so i am glad to be doing it again here on another season. >> steve: it is season number 3. since the pandemic, a lot of people got, hey, i think he needs a little louder audio. a lot of people during the pandemic got hooked on the tv show "yellowstone." that's just a bunch of tv cowboys. you've got real cowboys who make their money as cowboys. they know exactly what they are doing. >> yeah, these people are the real deal. they do this every day. these are not actors. these are not stunned people. these are real working cowhands. what a great concept. take some of these people -- and honor for me to be a part of this. >> brian: my vision of cowboy is tough guy, self-sufficient. don't use moisturizer. how much of that israel would you see on tv? how much is practical? >> well, that is the way i am. i'm not a working cowboy. i know you don't use moisturizer. you look terrible. >> brian: -- >> ainsley: you are definitely not a cowboy if you get your feelings hurt. >> you know, these people, yeah, you know, they live by their wits. and their skills that they have developed over the years. we don't just test their physical skills on their roping skills and horse riding skills. i mean, this is a rounded competition. they have to know cattle. they have to know how to judge cattle, not just hired cattle. they have to know the business and back of the cattle industry. many people think the cattle industry has become mechanized and big business, and it has. there are still things that somebody has to do on horseback. there are still people out there that do that every day for a living. and they are incredible people. it has been my privilege to work with them. >> ainsley: i'm impressed that it is men and women. you're marveling at the level of talent. what can we expect in the third season? >> we did this in wyoming. so the terrain was a bigger challenge i think them the first2 seasons. this terrain is really, really, really good. and so that presents a challenge itself and the weather, of course, it was cold. it was really cold. the wind was blowing hard. they are battling the elements as well as one another. this was a really challenging season. it was uncomfortable. >> steve: you can go to the website for more information. trace, it is always a pleasure. thank you for joining us live today on "fox & friends." >> ainsley: thank you, trace. >> the pleasure was mine as always, thank l. love you, brian. you know that. >> brian: we used to have a very unique relationship. >> ainsley: you called him a and an idiot one time. >> brian: why do you keep saying that? >> ainsley: we all love him. [laughter] >> brian: thank you for watching big news day continues now with bill and dana. >> bill: moscow claims a major victory in the southern part of the country. i'm bill hemmer. >> dana: i'm dana perino. this is "america's newsroom." president biden is expected to announce a new round of military aid but critics say a visit there would send a bigger message. >> bill: putin claiming he has successfully captured mariupol even though there are still hold-outs. this after months of russian
