>> steve: i'm going i know a white house correspondent. >> carley: got to see your son. >> steve: friday night someone has got to buy him dinner. >> ainsley: joe biden dine dinner. >> steve: we have great lineup on fox this weekend. talladegadown in alabama. our friend lawrence jones is having breakfast with friends in alabama and he is in a place called dmitrys local paper how you are going to be standing in front of a microphone in front of the place famous for love biscuits. >> lawrence: that's right and biscuits right in front of me. ainsley i had my biscuits and gravy i will try that later. they are known also for the french toast. the owner makes the batter by himself every single morning. no one knows the recipe but him. i can't wait to try as it well. guys, the reason why we are here of course is for talladega, race here on sunday. talk to folks about inflation, economy, how it's impacting the gas prices as well as crime and the border. what do the people of alabama think about those things? i can't wait to talk to some of our extended "fox & friends" family this morning right here in home wood outside of birmingham. >> brian: the hub for the usfl. >> lawrence: that's exactly right. as you know we have been broadcasting a lot of the those games and broadcasting the whole season. so, again, a lot of folks fired up. they are going to get upset with me because they are waiting right here until my spot is over so they can be seated. >> ainsley: really quickly, i'm sorry to make them wait. love biscuits a french toast? >> lawrence: you know, i don't know. >> steve: just take a bite. come on. >> lawrence: a lot of butter on it. >> steve: that's why, peter people love it. >> lawrence: that is a lot of love. >> ainsley: "fox & friends" the whole weekend crew is going to be live from talgd tune in this sunday 2:30 in the afternoon on fox. >> brian: we will be following that even though they will be at the racetrack, they will be talking about the border crisis. it is totally out of control. we feel like we have been a lone voice over the last two years, year and a half. saying what has happened. the president seems to have intentionally broken the border, not interested in fixing it. it is coming to a head with the evaporation on may 23rd of title 42. the thing that's different about it this time. this time you not only have republicans incensed. you have vulnerable democrats, maybe some like henry cuellar sincere saying we cannot let this pandemic-related health law rule evaporate then we will have no reason and no ability to turn all these people around who are coming to our country illegally. >> ainsley: the white house is anticipating an answer crease in the migrant encounters after they do lift title 42 at the end of may, may 23rd. it's being reported by axios that the dhs chief is very concerned about lifting title 42 and what this means down on the border for the surgeon. >> brian: mayorkas? >> ainsley: private hearings by mayorkas according to axios, recounted by lawmakers belie public posturing that the administration is prepared for potential influx of migrants. mayorkas has also indicated a level of frustration and unease with the repeal rollout the sources say. >> steve: that should make us all feel great, doesn't it? the guy in charge of what happens when people coming in the country across the border he doesn't feel good about it they publicly, the department of homeland security and, ainsley, you were talking about this, they are projecting up to 18,000 migrants will come across the rio grande valley river every day. so if they are estimating publicly 18,000, you got to figure privately they are saying, you know what? it's got to be a lot more. that would explain why axios has spoken a number of members of congress who said, you know what that mayorkas sound really frustrated and apparently he spoke to a u.s. senator. they do not reveal the senator's name a couple of weeks ago. and mayorkas said he was frustrated with the way the cdc announced plans to end it he said essentially i'm paraphrasing why is the cdc calling the shots and not the department of homeland security. >> ainsley: a public health crisis. >> brian: mayorkas would have resigned as soon as you realized that this administration was going to break the border. he, has worked arizona a deputy under tom homan and others. knows exactly what it takes to secure it knows the challenges on the most sincere administration, let alone one that wants to break it and allow people to flood our country, take advantage of our healthcare system. our social service system and now flying them around the country, overcrowding schools and working class areas that with powerless to speak up and doing it in the middle of the night. that's why desperate governors all across the country, 20 plus, basically suing the government to do their job. mayorkas knows better. and fors this to be a story that axios get behind the scenes not on the record shows how gutless he is. >> ainsley: so much confusion about the mask mandate in washington. we talked about that a lot yesterday. more confusion this morning bowers the president was asked about ending title 42 in the middle of his response he got con fueled and started talking about doj. >> steve: i think he got confused in the beginning. >> ainsley: just watch. you make your own assessment. >> are you considering delaying lifting title 42? >> no, what i'm considering is continuing to hear from my-my -- first of all, there is going to be an appeal by the justice department because as a matter of principle we want to be able to be in a position where if, in fact, it is strongly concluded by the scientists that we need title 42, that we be able to do that. but there has been no decision on extending title 42. >> steve: here's what i think. remember a couple weeks ago we showed you how the president has a little card. they will sometimes give him a little card with talking points? obviously the white house communications team said okay, they're probably going to ask but masks. so his answer was -- he was asked about migrants but he answered about masks. notice he talked about the doj, with the cdc, that's what the mask, mentioned scientists, that's with the masks. he is there in the roosevelt room in front of teddy roosevelt he had great line yesterday, he talked about speak softly and carry a big javelin. that was a great line. that would have been the line of the day. unfortunately, he got so confused now everybody is going hey, why is joe biden having such a bad day? did he look at the wrong card? did he just misunderstand. >> brian: two biggest issues on the country. a country he is supposed to be run something pathetic. >> ainsley: confusion and gaffes are very serious. >> brian: get him a newspaper? >> ainsley: make your own decision about gaffes oh wait, oh wait we are going to appeal the florida judges section. code is such an emergency americans need to mask up, oh wait, when it comes to title 42 poland is not so bad. troops on the ground in ukraine. the administration in russia needs a new regime change, and the white house is constantly cleaning up, sweeping up all the things that he says and coming out with different statements. they had to clean up his mess yesterday. they said this i want to clarify, they said this it i want to clarify in comments at the conclusion of my remarks this morning i was referring to the cdc's mask mandate and there is no department of justice action on title 42. >> brian: do you know what's so interested interesting? he said repeal on may 23rd. there are stories that the administration is reconsidering what they are going to do about it and now is he like wait a second, so he should be definitive of it other people trying to convince him. he is indicating that he might be going back on this. hen way cuellar, the voice of reason, whose district is on the border and democrats despise the fact that he keeps speaking the facts and talking about what a disaster it is not only for the people of texas, his people, but for the country. mr. president come down, talk to me, or at least see for yourself. finally has some company as he screams out from the left to do something about the south. listen. >> in the past, i was the lonely voice on this. but now we have got democratic senators, democratic members of congress from other parts of the country that are not only looking people policy but also looking at the people politics. some of my republicans colleagues are saying we can't believe the white house is giving us this narrative. we cannot believe that they are hurting democrat candidates for the november election. the democrat voters are not happy, and if you look at the independent voters, they are not has been about this decision. so, who are we trying to please? >> steve: the white house was asked, as you look at a number of democrats against repealing 42 and having it go away. they want it in place at least through the midterms, i would imagine. the white house, a couple of days ago through jen psaki said there are no plans to extend it. but that just puts all of those democrats, those moderate democrats in many cases into peril. how is the president going to get out of this? senator gary peters, a democrat from michigan, who is the chairman of the homeland security committee, in of the senate, he is going to have hearings very shortly. and he has already said, mr. president, we need to delay it pulling the plug on it that would give the white house cover. >> ainsley: the hill sent reporters into mexico and they asked the mexicans there what do you think about ending title 42? we are excited. we are planning on storming the border. >> steve: we called everybody. >> ainsley: we can't wait to come over. you said 18,000 a day. yesterday, there was the picture of the little boy, he lost a shoe. >> steve: heart breaking. >> ainsley: found alone, unaccompanied. no parents. they said maybe his dad sent him over. here is a picture of an agent carrying him. another picture of him in the back of the car. near roma, texas. he is 2 years old. and rgv agents down there say they have encountered more than 38,000 unaccompanied children. 2-year-old. >> brian: this administration is responsible for that they have given incentives to say i sent the kid. give them toe a human trafficker. who knows what is going to happen to him on the athe way and how many killed in the brush. window of hope because of his incompetence. don't fall for this. title 42 is not a cure all. for the most part they are not even adhering to it on top of that, they are supposed to do the remain in mexico policy. the judge already said put that back into play. they are ignoring that judge's order. border wall is overworke dispritted. the ones not vaccinated lost their jobs. you put this combination together a total dereliction of duty inexcusable. >> steve: bringing all those border protection people down to canada in anticipation. a word to the people posted in canada, get a light weight uniform because it's much hotter on the border. >> brian: don't go. say listener i'm hired for the northern border you handle it in the south. >> steve: i think they got to go anywhere. >> ainsley: it is not friday the 1st. it is 13 minutes after the hour. the handyman accused of fatally stabbing the new york city mom 58 times in her basement reportedly confesses to her murder. what we know about the suspect and nearly two-year affair with. >> brian: walt disney world one signature away from losing special tax status. what the company's woke agenda could end up costing in the long run. ♪ my asthma felt anything but normal. ♪ ♪ it was time for a nunormal with nucala. nucala reduces asthma attacks it's a once-monthly add-on treatment for severe eosinophilic asthma. 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 occured. 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. - hiring is step one when it comes to our growth. we can't open a new shop or a new location without the right people in place. i couldn't keep up until i found ziprecruiter. ziprecruiter helps us get out there quickly and get us qualified candidates quickly. they sent us applicants that matched what i was looking for. i've hired for every role, entry-level technicians, service advisors, store managers. ziprecruiter helps me find all the right people, even the most difficult jobs to fill. - [announcer] ziprecruiter, rated the number one hiring site. try it for free at ziprecruiter.com xfinity mobile runs on america's most reliable 5g network, but for up to half the price of verizon, so you have more money for more stuff. this phone?

we told you yesterday and the day before they are looking for the handyman. as it turns out the police were out in that neighborhood and they were going from house to house saying do you have any ring doorbell video and when they were walking around they saw the guy. they knew what he looked like. so they said hey, we got some questions for you. and so he voluntarily went along with them down to the precinct and he told them very as she just said very matter of factually what happened. he confessed to them on the spot and then they said you know what? prosecutors are going to need a video so do you mind doing that again with the video camera? he told them the story again very matter of factually as the "new york post" says after he confessed to murdering her he ate a bagel. >> ainsley: he knew he was going to get caught. he left his jacket on the ground blood-soaked boots. t-shirt. he was dragging the bag through the neighborhood with a trail of blood ring doorbell videos that we seen. police officers were putting him in the car journalists were asking why he killed her he screamed f you mother f.er. >> brian: obviously a wonderful person. track record pretty terrible. he would go to the same coffee shop all the time and harass the female workers. they called the cops on him but he was never there when the cops would show up. he is in the heating and air conditioning repairman essentially. he showed up 12:30 in the morning on saturday by surprise. wasn't necessarily scheduled. he ha an on again, off again relationship with the victim and it was off at this time. and he showed up and they said it wasn't his -- the stabbing and the death and the murder was not premeditated from what they know right now judging by what he has said. >> ainsley: they said he went over there to try to resurrect the affair the son and 1-year-old leo was upstairs not sure if he was asleep. it was 1212 something in the middle of the night. they were arguing so he went down to the basement and grabbed a t-shirt and stabbed her 58 times torso, neck and the arms. >> steve: they had apparently gotten back together earlier this month before splitting up. that's why he wound up and used a knife out of the kitchen. they say it was not premeditated because once it happened, then he found that bag because he said he didn't want the family to find her body. and the cops said this is the worst job at a cover-up i have ever seen. there was a note on the fridge that gave cops an idea of who to look for. and the note simply said get a new handyman. well, after he murdered her, he went to a city for hands wounds in the attack and the city m.d. said we think need to go to bellevue. he went to bellevue hospital here in manhattan and they treated him and then he was released. and a couple of days later he is wandering around in the same neighborhood where he killed that woman. >> ainsley: i wonder what he told the doctors?

they say the surrounding municipalities might have to make up the difference? they also have a bond debt? does the rest of the state have to assume that bond debt? >> i would think that the ready creek court which is the municipality where they raise all their money under that division would be obligated to pay it. you know, they benefited from it in whatever they have been able to take advantage of it. i don't think they are surrounding municipalities would have to pay it from here on out the state of florida gets to make the rules, you know, with respect to some very key things that the rest of the state by the way has to live by. >> steve: less than a month ago cnn launched cnn plus, a streaming service and as it turns out yesterday the boss said, you know what? everybody here did a really good job. nobody was watching but we're going to pull the plug. >> charles: 10,000 people spent so many millions on this thing. it was just unmitigated disaster right out of the gate. streaming is huge. it's estimated to be global strategic something going to be about $150 billion industry by 2026. that's a lot of players and, you know, think the ideas that you have got to bring something fresh. something kind of unique. again, i think they started. similar situation we are talking about wokeness. eva long goria, rex chapman, that's okay. everybody has got political opinions and we are allowed to have them. these are people that have gone after, harshly gone after half of this country for having your own political ideas. you are going to launch a product and ask knee pay for it so i can hear someone call me bad names? hell no. first of all all these old boring people on there we have been watching -- by the way we weren't watching that's why you got them in the first place. it was so nonsensical and the logo sucked. so it was just awful how bad was that logo? i could have sworn that was a pharmacies i saw in snittle somebody said it was dispensary maybe they were selling weed i don't know what was going on. >> brian: huge launch party. >> charles: i bet you it was. it was fun while it lasted. >> brian: bad logo. >> ainsley: how do you really feel?

"fox & friends" is going to be live from talladega this weekend tune in to the geico 500 surrender 2:30 eastern time on fox. >> brian: meanwhile yesterday big story in florida. they also have a lot of racing there. big story in florida because when governor antioxidants made it clear he was going to sign the parents rights bills and got mischaracterized as the don't say gay bill. 150 separate companies in florida condemned this bill from american airlines on down. the more you read about it the six pages, the more you realize it's been totally mislabeled mike when president biden came out and said the change in the election laws in georgia jim crow 2.0. governor desantis came out on. to say disney ceo responding to a walkout to his company. came out and recorded a big apology asked to do better. and said he will do everything he can to stop this bill from passing. governor desantis saw that as a challenge. they can have a conversation at which time the ceo of disney came out and said oh yeah, disney, the governor is going to work with us to make the gilbert. he said i'm not going to work to you with make the gilbert. in fact, i think i'm going to re-examine your autonomy status within my state. >> ainsley: disney is so powerful in the state of florida. they have through ready creek this special tax privilege and the legislature is saying no longer. there are six different areas in florida that have this privilege. including disney. and they -- the house voted for it the other day. then the senate voted for it i think it was senate first, then it went to the house. and then it goes to the governor's desk. the bill passed 70 to 38. expected to be signed by the governor and goes into effect june 2023. >> steve: that's right. so over a year from now. so they do have time. look, there will be all sorts of lawsuits. probably disney still hasn't come out with a statement although the white house has and they are condemning florida for doing this but it's interesting. you know, the ready creek district is a perk that the district gave disney. why disney thought it could push around the state lawmakers without pushback is a mystery. here is a state lawmaker by the name of randy fine, he is a republican. and he has got a message, hey, disney, don't california-ize florida. watch thmpleght when disney kicked a hornets nest we took a look at special district we found six of them created before the florida constitution was actually put in place. and they have all sorts of weird things in them. for example, disney has the right to take land outside of their district. they have the right to build a nuclear power plant without state oversight. they didn't have to follow zoning laws or safety codes. people have wanted to deal with the special district for decades but disney had the political power to prevent it for decades. what's changed is by trying to bring california values to florida, floridians have said all right, you are a guest in our state, maybe you don't deserve those special privileges anymore. >> brian: i guess we will see what will happen with disney. this ceo. what a clown this guy is. bob igor is 71 years old. he evidently is on -- might as well be. he evidently is on a yacht with brian grazer. he was the leader of disney. the question is he going to come back and take over this company? because, remember, he was the same ceo johansson payout next thing you know disney at war with scarlett johansson not a positive thing for either one of them when they talked about revenue. now he is trying to respond to the woke maybe minority within his company and in doing so jeopardize his company, 220-acre six theme park complex. you think he had problems in california trying to get it open. florida helped you. they opened up early. they stopped you from losing a ton of money. and this is how you thank them by not reading a six-page bill mischaracterizing it and then apologizing and promising to fight it? why would you jeopardize your status? >> steve: brian, we are talking about 40 square mile hunk of florida that disney essentially is autonomous over. saved disney tens of millions of dollars a year according to the "wall street journal." if this goes through, ultimately, dissolving this special tax district could require -- this is the crazy part, could require approval by a majority of the residents, lectures o people who live there or land jorens most of them in the district. 50 people live in the district. most of them are disney employees. disney controls ready creek board of supervisors. every time they will side, obviously, with disney. this is going to wind up in the courts. but, ultimately. i wouldn't be surprised if disney and antioxidants come to some sort of an agreement between now and then where they both look like, well, antioxidants, obviously, is going to be the big winner but disney can come away without losing loot of money. >> ainsley: what kind of agreement with they come up with? >> steve: if they dissolve it, effective june of next year, then disney can apply again for special tax status again. so maybe they will say okay, you got rid of that one. we will do it again and we will pay -- >> ainsley: ron desantis pretty strong. strong minded and stick to his ones. >> brian: one of the things disney could do decide to build another theme park without checking with anyone. >> ainsley: in the rocky mountains. >> brian: they could continue to expand. build a mansion or place on the water. anything. you have to go to the town present your plans and do it. disney goes and presents their plans. own water, own electric. things will change for them. here is charles payne. >> charles: this is a mini aautonomous nation. raise -- you know, levy taxes, fire department, they can build an airport if they wanted. to say they could put a nuclear power plant in there if they wanted. to say this is anton must names inside of a state essentially. listen, you understand back in 1966, 19 # 7 as they negotiated to get them there, you know, they made these amazing offers. that was a long time ago. all these large american corporations are willing to sacrifice tens of millions of american customers over politics thinking they could make it up somewhere else around the world. >> steve: the thing about disney for over 50 years people have loved it around the world. as a corporation their entertainment and theme parks. you asked great question the other day. i wonder what walt disney would make of this? you know, walt disney, the older he got the more conservative he got; so as a conservative you have got to figure walt disney would not approve of what the walt disney corporation is doing it for. >> ainsley: daughter granddaughter is on the board and she is more liberal? >> steve: she is. she came out in support of disney and doing everything they could as a corporation to undo the parental rights bill of florida. >> brian: talk a little politics. take a moment and go over everything kamala harris has done right since she got the job. >> steve: root causes she is really good at that. >> brian: that's all i have. i don't have anything yet. i will tell you one thing that she is really good at. that is exit introduce. because she has had a lot of practice. now she has just lost her 13th staffer. this is key one this her chief of staff. >> ainsley: most senior official. >> brian: most senior official. if she is leaving after a year and a half, knowing that the embarrassment vice president already been through because of the mass exodus from the people that she chose to work for her, she knows how bad this looks. >> ainsley: deputy chief of staff announced that he was leaving. and this comes just a few weeks later. her name is tina flournoy, she served as bill clinton's chief of staff when he left the white house and traveling chief of staff in 2,000 for democratic vice presidential nominee joe je lieberman. when she took this job one of the people operating the vice president's office. they were very excited she would be part of kamala harris' team. so she is now being replaced by a woman by the name of lorain bolus. democratic operative and also a communications. >> ainsley: she was adviser to hillary. >> steve: yes, she was. a lot of experience here. the departures are routine according to her office. it comes at really critical time. because, if the democrats lose the midterms, which they probably will, joe biden then may decide, you know what? i'm not going to run ofor re-election that would prompt renewed attention on the vice president as alternative and as we have seen so far with the shakeup and the lack of accomplishment it's like okay, well, pete buttigieg suddenly, according to "the washington post," when you look at the hierarchy of hot most electable democrats are coming up in 2024 is joe biden, pete buttigieg, and then kamala harris. >> brian: i guess they forgot about when he ran for president the last time. >> ainsley: it's been reported she is hard to work for and not prepared has to be a story here to lose that people in a little little more than a year she has to be careful. treat your staff right especially plans to run for president one day. >> steve: think about it this way. the huge turnover in the vice president's office is in stark contrast to the turnover in the west ring. there hasn't been any. joe biden's inner circle have been with him from the get-go and, in fact, most of them have been with him for decades. so it's like joe biden keeps people on board and kamala harris, you know, it's a revolving door. it's the somebody tore. >> brian: collectively you could not be -- seems to me they can't even execute a bad plan. they don't even brief the president on the title 42. is he clueless to understand the mask mandate the legal ramifications. so many times he is caught by surprise by issues that we have been talking about for weeks. >> steve: he needs to watch us more. >> brian: joe concha a fox news contributor as you know. he weighed in on the harris chaos. >> it's becoming as predictable as the sunrising in the east us talking about somebody leaving kamala harris' office. and we look at that "the washington post" ranking that came out earlier this week that listed possible 2024 candidates if joe biden doesn't run, carley. and kamala harris wasn't sitting at the top of the list. that, instead, went to pete buttigieg. so it when you are polling even lower than your boss the president joe biden and you have authenticity problem and electability problem and issues with basic communications at times and your performance on your number one job which was securing the u.s. southern border is going horribly. maybe just maybe people don't want to be on a team like that. >> brian: if she was going to be president, the last thing you want to do even if she is tough on people is leave, your goal position of power influence. if you thought the next step in career was a position of power and influence, you don't leave that job. >> ainsley: especially if you are up for becoming the first female president. sounds like a sinking ship. he made a great point. "the washington post" didn't even pick her as the presidential contender. they put pete buttigieg above her. >> steve: they did. and with the first list from aaron blake it didn't even put joe biden at the top. it put kamala harris above her was the transportation secretary who oddly cannot go to a transportation event earlier this week at the ports. >> ainsley: polling so bad to your point what has she done? >> brian: very good reading to child actors about space. >> ainsley: she doesn't go to the border. >> brian: that will come in handy. >> steve: carley shimkus, we know what you did this morning, you overslept. >> carley: yes, i did. thank you for airing that out, steve, my goodness. >> ainsley: you did? >> carley: i did, yes. >> ainsley: did you make it in on time. >> carley: first time it ever happened to me. i don't know what happened. alarm didn't go off. maybe i didn't set it. car. >> ainsley: how did you wake up. >> carley: 3:55 "fox & friends" first i said is my alarm wrong. is my clock wrong or is am any a dream right now? she said no it's almost 4:00. i said okay, all right. i'm getting in a cab right now and coming in. so 4:20 and i made it in. and sat next to joey for two hours. >> ainsley: joey did the top. >> carley: alex an hofn thank you for covering for me. my crisis to the border. alexandra mayorkas concerned over the imminent end of title 42. axios reporting quote the private airing by mayorkas recounted by lawmakers belie public posturing that the administration is prepared for a potential influx of migrants. mayorkas has also indicated a level of frustration and unease with the repeal rollout. the source said the democratic congressman hen ray cuellar of texas has learned of a plan to move law enforcement officers from around the country to the southern border to help with the potential influx. listen to this the cdc issuing a national alert over a mysterious hepatitis outbreak. the organization widening its probably after the outbreak leaves children in alabama and north carolina with liver inflammation. some cases have required liver transplants also a problem in the u.k. where health experts believe weakened immunities from the lockdowns played a key role. and britney spears claims her father is continuing to bulliened a harass after his removal as her conservator in november. jamie spears is subpoenaing finals from the pop star's private investor who is hired to look into the management of britney's estate. the singer is moving to dismiss the request her legal team writing, quote: his tactic of trying to intimidate, harass and bully his daughter should cease. the situation is ongoing. she also pregnant and engaged and has a lot of happy things to celebrate but the family drama continues. >> brian: doesn't she have residency in las vegas? >> she ended that and completely end performing and now that she is pregnant you have to believe that's definitely going to take a longer pause. >> steve: so much britney news. we need a britney correspondent. >> ainsley: we wish her all the best with her pregnancy. >> carley: yes. >> brian: straight ahead on this show president biden is sending another 800 million in aid to ukraine as russia's war ranges on. general jack keane on what kind of effect that will have. >> steve: later called a perfect storm how inflation, labor shortages and supply chain crisis are all wreaking havoc on america's small businesses. that's straight ahead on this friday "fox & friends." look at all the guests we got coming up in the next hour and 40 minutes. ♪ ♪ 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. ♪ 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 happiest spring starts at lowe's. experience all the deals at springfest. lowe's. home to any budget. home to any possibility. xfinity mobile runs on america's most reliable 5g network, but for up to half the price of verizon, so you have more money for more stuff. this phone?

>> yeah, true. i mean, this is exactly the kind of equipment that we need for the fight taking place in the donbas region where the terrain is much more open as opposed to the terrain around kyiv which was essentially small towns and suburbs. but the problem we have is the supply line for the russians is relatively short. russia is close by, crimea is close by. and this is an area that they're most familiar with in ukraine because they have been there since 2014. ukrainians now, because they are becoming more and more dependent, obviously, on united states, nato and other countries' ammunition and weapon systems. they are coming from poland, and that means their supply line is much longer and considerably more challenging even though the russians, surprisingly enough, have not been able to target that and eliminate those lines of communications or supply lines. so yeah, it's much more challenging for the ukrainians, i'm hoping that we are doing everything we can to assist them in getting these supply lines and these munitions quickly to the forces that need them. >> brian: right. >> we may have to take some risks to do that clandestinely or covertly landing some of these supplies closer at night in airfields that don't have lights on and that we can get in and get out. there are risks there. that means that americans are flying in ukrainian airspace. it's something that we can do and we may indeed be doing. >> brian: we know about the battle of mariupol, a small enclave left catty combs of a still millwright now being sealed off they need food, water and armament people protesting and next thing you know they got a push back. if you were running the ukrainian army. would you look to grab mariupol back? >> no. they still don't have the combat power to be able to generate something like that. because the defense of the donbas. that's where the ukrainians are focused and they are doing a pretty good job of it the concern i have about the donbas region because it's terrain so open and we have to rely on fortified positions and not able to hide in buildings and other things like they did around kyiv. here they are able to bring their artillery up and use it they have been pounding these positions for days now. and to include aerial bombardments. my concern is they are going to wear those forces down where ground maneuver forces who are quite inept and still inept to this day will eventually be able to penetrate. they haven't had any major breakthroughs yet. but the grinding down of artillery and aerial bombardments can facilitate that they are all in, brian, on this fight on the donbas. they don't have the come bad power now to be able to take mariupol back. i think what will happen as the russians occupy the city, put a local government in, they have to have troops there to occupy it. partisan resisters will gradually begin to conduct operations against them. and they will do that for as long as there is russians in mariupol if it takes months, if it takes years. that fight is going to continue wherever russians are holding territory in ukraine. >> brian: real quick, general, in the "new york times" today they say senior biden administration officials say the war will grind on but the next four weeks will shape the event actual outcome of russia's war and the long lasting implications and influence of drawing the map of. do you believe these next four weeks matter this much. >> i do think the next four weeks matter an awful lot to ukraine and what happens there certainry the russians intend to establish the land bridge, that they have wanted in 2014, were not able to establish it, to crimea, and that's what this fight is about, shutting off the entire southern coast of ukraine on the russian control. eventually maybe moving on moldova to connect it. the russians if they are successful here will have a choice to make. do they continue to go west or do they go back to kyiv and see if they can take the capital down. but the truth is ukrainians have a real chance here to deny russians the donbas area. we have got to keep these ammunitions and weapons systems coming. >> brian: i hear you. general, thank you so much. always informative. appreciate tnchts good talking to you, brian. have great weekend. >> brian: you too. speaking of the weekend 2 # minutes after the hour. at 8:00 and then again at 11:00 at night on saturday night amongst our guest on "one nation" will be the ambassador of finland, are they going to join nato. michael pillsbury what are the chinese taking from this conflict in russia?

>> i have no clue. i think probably they were speaking to an audience within the company of employees and executives but the fact of the matter is boards of directors and executives of companies work for the shareholders. their duty is to increase profit and sales in a good way so that the shareholders benefit so they get dividends and additional stock and the company can grow. and when they get off into minority issues and social engineering and political issues, they lose their focus on responsibility. in my opinion, the chief legal officer of disney should be fired, the ceo ought to be fired because they entered into an area without thought and care. the people of florida are not ignorant. this bill -- nowhere is that bill and i have read the bill does it say the word gay anywhere. this is a parents rights bill to make sure their children aren't exposed to sexual material before they are mature enough to handle it. i think that's reasonable. i think disney. >> steve: ed, how do you think this ends? they have got a year. if they have completely pull the plug they have got a year before it goes away. can disney and the state come to some sort of an agreement? >> i think it will come to some sort of an agreement. and the ultimate losers are going to be the disney shareholders. and that's the whole point of this. disney made a decision, they may have wanted to do the right thing, but they have completely messed this up. and frankly it's a disaster for them and perhaps the best thing that happened is america business are going to see their focus should be on shareholder value and not on public policy. >> steve: indeed. your group has now purchased enough shares of bank of america we are going to show up at the next stockholder meeting and what are you going to say? >> we are putting proposals before a lot of public companies for the singular thought of let's do civil rights audits that make sure all people involved in the company are treated fairly, reasonably under our constitution because they all have constitutional rights. and you can't discriminate against one group for another group. their focus should be on building sales and profits and their focus should be on developing great employees, great supply chain and great customer business. and not political activism. put it before shareholders and ask them to vote bank of america, for example, does an audit so that there is equality in the civil rights aren't trampled on because of policy decisions because of the board or executive management. >> steve: let's see what they do. he is a national treasurer. ed renzi, because he invented the mcnugget. ed, thank you very much for joining us live today. >> thank you, glad to be here. >> steve: you bet. still ahead on this friday, we are having breakfast with friends in alabama this morning ahead of the geico 4500 in talladega. how is it going, lawrence jones. oh you are in the kitchen. >> lawrence: talking with folks about the economy, inflation, what's happening at the border. and i'm also making pancakes. that's coming up on "fox & friends." ♪ see y'all ♪ ♪ i'll be your shot of whiskey. ♪ you'll be my sunny day ♪ you've been living with heart disease, reducing cholesterol can be hard, even when you're taking a statin and being active. but you can do hard. you lived through thirty-seven red-eye flights in a middle seat. eleven miracle diets... forty-two college campus tours... four overseas postings... one minor stroke... and four citywide blackouts... and now, with leqvio, you can lower your cholesterol, too. when taken with a statin, leqvio is proven to lower bad cholesterol by over 50% and keep it there with two doses a year. common side effects of leqvio were injection site reaction, joint pain, urinary tract infection, diarrhea, chest cold, pain in legs or arms, and shortness of breath. with leqvio, lowering cholesterol becomes just one more thing life throws your way. ask your doctor if leqvio is right for you. lower. longer. leqvio. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ voltaren. the joy of movement. let's go on the open road with a safe stay! ♪ now get double best western rewards points on every stay. and with rewards points that never expire, you get free nights fast! book now at bestwestern.com. nicorette knows, quitting smoking is freaking hard. you get advice like: just stop. go for a run. go for 10 runs! run a marathon. instead, start small. with nicorette. which can lead to something big. start stopping with nicorette. >> steve: the birmingham, alabama area is famous for barbecue. what about barbecue at breakfast time?

>> i think they absolutely did not think that's why the statement came from the president, a statement from joe biden auto white house official. and if you think back to how many other statements we have gotten clearing up what was just said it usually comes for white house official. and that is also something they have been getting criticized over. i think they were very well aware they have to correct that and that he had to correct that. >> steve: absolutely and just to clarify there are no scientists working on 42, right? [laughs] >> not that we know of. [laughter] >> steve: to pay for the president said yesterday, jackie, thank you very much. i was talking to the white house correspondent yesterday and he said right after the president said that in the roosevelt room a couple of the other reporters turned to each other, what did you just say? and they said what he was asked a question about masks, but he was asked a question about migrants but answer about masks. >> ainsley: we can laugh about it but it's a serious. this confusion and messaging from the white house, it's very serious because some of this can affect all of us, it does affect all of our lives. he says when he gets off of air force one, no, you can make your own decisions. but then the next sentence he says oh, wait, we are going to try to appeal with the florida judge has put in place because we now want you to wear masks on the plane. then he says you need to wear a mask because covert is so bad, but wait, the migrants, covert is not so bad on the border i guess because title 42 is going to end in the month, which is a covert mandate. they talked about the gas of their c's troops in poland sending over the ukraine and talked about putin and a ridge regime change in walking a back and cleaning up and fixing it all the time. every day almost. >> brian: who decided to let title 42 to evaporate when he does even know what it is? who decided a mask should stay on? you have any of been briefed by her science team or your cdc about what's going on. he is always alone come aware of the aids? the guy is old enough to think to yourself knowing what they get it if he had made with them where's brian clean russian mark where is he? where's the easter bunny when you need them? when you look at the people that don't want to appeal, may assign, jon tester, bennett over in colorado, 90% of them are up for reelection. i don't even think they feel it in their heart, they don't care what's happening at the border, they just know the american people do when they might lose. then on the democratic side henry cuellar has been sincerely working on this forever, but tim ryan who wants to be governor knows he has no shot of that happens and then knee of golden o'halloran as well as stenson and susie lee. this is a disaster but the whole border is a disaster and he doesn't even have the leadership to go down there and say to the border patrol i am screwing this up on purpose. i'm destroying the southern border, and i just hope you like my nonpolicy. instead he avoids the question. of lets the border patrol do think they are not hired to do, the border is wide open the wall isn't done we are close to 3 million people here who don't belong here. they have fresh outfits thanks to catholic charities, their phones thanks to you, the taxpayer, and they are in our school system with their kids often times working class areas are overstretched anyway. you are a teacher, one day of 18 kids in your class the next time you're 26 in your class and not only don't they speak english, they don't speak spanish. they have to learn a third language we need more resources for that. that's the administration and they know better. and for him to sit there and whisper to somewhat in axios he is upset about it with the courage no courage to say i quit at a press conference i have no patience for that. >> steve: title 42 asked about masks he didn't answer the question in person and also kamala harris apparently was you were alluding to this a long-winded answer about russia and putin and then was asked about title 42, but you know what? that was on it she didn't want to talk about even though she is in charge of root causes. here's vice president. >> do you have any reaction to the sections from russia though by your entrance into the country and on second on title 42 -- >> vice president harris: lets you very clear in terms of russia. as far as i'm concerned i think congestive elite many people agree that their invasion of the ukraine has not only been atrocities but will prove to be strategic failures for russia. one of our highest priorities is territorial integrity. is a solid principle but defines and unifies the nato alliance to your point about nato. so we will continue to do that work, and were not going to give up. thank you. >> steve: yep, didn't want to talk about 42 so she turned when her plane. >> ainsley: chance to talk about it because she is the border star. >> steve: root causes. >> ainsley: she is in charge. there was a 2-year-old boy who was unaccompanied on the border yesterday there were floating around the press on images, here's the border patrol agent carrying this little boy. he has one shoe on, his other foot is barefooted, here he is in the back of the patrol car. the rbg agent say they have encountered more than 38,000 unaccompanied children. as far as flights to d.c. from texas that governor abbott has sent, 152 immigrants have been relocated which is about an average of 19 people on the buses but the ninth and tenth bus arrived in d.c. yesterday. >> steve: they're going to keep coming. >> brian: list switch gears and talk off for it if we can. so the president, the governor decided that he sees what is happening with the crt. he'd seized was having with this gender fluidity talk and in the end are not a boy or girl we are going to be talking to toddlers about and he said not my state. i'm going to put together the parental rights bill and he put it together just from k through three you won't talk about. you're not going to talk about what gender you are. you will work on fundamentals of being a kid. that's not a bad bill is not controversial at six pages long but 150 companies including american airlines and the marriott all condemned the bill. of the press secretary weeping about the bill, which i think that one thing in common. they did not read the bill. unless they are pro an 8-year-old learning about their sexual organs they would not have a problem with this bill. when disney doubles and triples down for not condemning it and then promises to fight the bill, that's when the governor got upset. >> steve: that's when the legislators cited to pass the bill and pull the special tax status thing they have been getting since the 60s. you know, brian, you were talking a little bit about the parental rights bill. of the original bill that was first considered was much broader, but the bill that passed is so focused. i'm going to read for you the one passage that, you know, that's the only thing people are upset about. this is upset you? according to "the wall street journal" op-ed page. classroom instruction by school personnel or third parties on sexual orientation may not occur in kindergarten through grade three or in a manner that is not age-appropriate. that's it. and yet disney decided that was going to be exactly where they were going to plant their flag. they were going to do every thing as a corporation to undo that, and the republicans in the state said hey, this is a park we have given you. "wall street journal" also says while dissing thought they could push her unstable lawmakers without pushback as a misprint. >> ainsley: they're saying if you are a parent you want to talk to your kids about this 5 come 6, 7, 8 years old, we don't want them teaching their kids about this because the pears might not agree with with the teachers are teaching we may not want our teachers to children to be exposed to this when the plane with their barbies. >> steve: they have enough software about. >> ainsley: or their trucks they are also all say on these parents are sang brady of florida representative randy fine and he is talking about the issue let's see what he says. >> disney kicked the hornet's nest a few weeks ago we looked at special districts and we found six of them had been created before the florida constitution was actually put in place. and they have all sorts of weird things in them. for example disney had the right to take a land outside of their district. that they had the right to build a nuclear power plant without state oversight. they didn't have to follow zoning laws are safety codes. people wanted to deal with the special district for decades but disney had the political power to prevent it for decades. what has changed is by trying to bring california values to florida, floridians have set all right, you are a guest in our state. may be you don't deserve the special privileges anymore. >> brian: why he kowtow to his radical left and you are a leader your ceo you should know what you're getting into. you wonder if bob eicher is going to be coming back. ed renzi former mcdonald's ceo who is bringing together of fort doe mike organization to push back against his corporate ached on my corporation said this. speak of the chief legal officer of disney should be fired, the ceo ought to be fired, they entered into an area without thought and care. the people of florida are not ignorant. they made a decision for or they may have wanted to do the right thing, but then completely messed this up and frankly it's a disaster for them and perhaps the best thing that happened is american business are going to see that their focus should be on shareholder values, and not on public policy. >> ainsley: he always has the best thing that actually happen was chicken mcnugget. >> steve: he invented at! >> brian: absolute. >> ainsley: goes to ron desantis staff no more special privileges for disney. he will sign it and it goes into effect in june 2023. >> brian: exactly so that gives the state and disney a year to figure out what's going to happen next to land values and stuff like that and who gets the money, and in the meantime a lot of people are saying i wonder of the ceo will still have his job in two weeks? >> brian: 70 minutes after the hour you're breaking news. >> of who is doing what with masks because confusing trade the l.a. mask mandate is back for public transit riders and takes a back today. this comes days after a judge ruled against the federal mandate. the by demonstrations not fighting to get it back in place. and a change of heart and the city of brotherly love. philadelphia's note ditching its newly reinstated indoor mask mandate. the cities mayor says it's based on a decrease in hospitalization and covid cases. arizona governor declaring a state of emergency in a region where the tunnel fire is spreading fast. as of thursday afternoon the wild fire has burned more than 20,000 acres and remains 0% contained. and a fire is expected to get even bigger with the 50 miles per hour winds in the forecast. cnn plus is getting shut down. warner bros. discovery is pulling the plug on the $100 million failed streaming service. less than one month after it launched, cnn plus will cease operations on april 30th. customers will receive prorated refunds for subscription fees. and hard-hitting punishment handed out after this baseball field brawl. we showed it to you yesterday. several texas junior college baseball players are suspended from a texas conference after a fight breaks out on the field mid game. so the pitcher caught on camera tackling an opposing batter. he is suspended for four games. he could face expulsion, the batter is getting suspended for two games for allegedly taunting, so very much unsportsmanlike conduct. >> steve: do have any idea of the nature of the trash talking?

joining us right now is fox news reporter and corresponded at large geraldo rivera. hey. >> how are you? >> brian: that makes me from doing okay. it's anything like board from last week they will find a way to make it almost impossible for him to take the wheel of the twitter tesla. >> that's what i thought last week. i thought last week they had him beaten. that they had figured a way with the poison pill maneuvering and issuing other stocks to dilute his holding and all the other, you know, shenanigans that they could block him. i don't believe that anymore. now that he has secured the funding for more, to mike morgan stanley, it's like a hose takeover. has the money, he put the twitter stock up or rather the tesla stock that he owns more than anyone else on earth, he put that tesla stock up as collateral, morgan stanley said they would give them the extra cash. now i don't think there is really a way that twitter can stop him. i think it's bold, innovative, creative, one in a million guy will soon succeed. it seems to me in owning twitter and making it the kind of free for all come one come all, trump included, consensual it always has. >> steve: and i'll be great because people would love to see twitter be more down the middle-of-the-road rather than always so far left. but he did something, he put out a tweet, geraldo, that if the people who use twitter got a choice, got a boat, they would vote for him to take over twitter because yesterday he tweeted this regarding robots. it if our twitter bid succeeds we will defeat the spambots, robots, or die trying and authenticate all real humans because that is one thing that the average twitter user without a blue check mark wants, as they would love to have the blue check mark. elon musk, if he is in control of our company, is going to give you one if you are a real person. >> you and i already have one but everybody should have one. everybody was on twitter who is an actual person rather than a russian robot should have a blue check mark to indicate they are bona fide. but the thing is twitter is now going to become more ruckus there is no doubt about it more friendly kind of people. that's okay. it's the first amendment that elon musk is all about, and if you don't like it you hold your nose coming move on to something else or get some other way to get your information. but it seems to me that this is a very interesting and provocative move by one of the most interesting businessman i've ever heard of. i've never met him, but he it is -- he's got this creative energy that is taking us to mars and beyond. i think into your account also, steve. >> steve: your final point which you made earlier, you think in a month or so he'll be running the show at twitter. >> and the stock is going to go up. keep going up in the way it has already given his interest in the company and i am all for that. i also think tesla is a great company. >> steve: i bet you do. geraldo, they could very much have a great weekend. >> okay, steve, you too. >> steve: still this friday to handyman accused of fatally murdering a new york city mom stabbing her over 50 times has confessed twice. she joins us live as we learn more about the subject and his alleged two-year affair with the victim. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ at booking.com, finding perfect isn't rocket science. kitchen?
