>> ainsley: it is 7:00 a.m. right here on the east coast, it's wednesday, april 10th. this is "fox & friends." president biden once again claims he can't do anything to fix the border crisis. >> there's no quarantine that i have that power all by myself without legislation.

>> brian: 500,000. yeah, i'll just continue. and a covid cover-up. senator rand paul says 15 federal agencies knew about the viral research. this is the smoking gun that ties anthony fauci nih to the funding of research that may well have led to covid-19. >> steve: that is crazy. meanwhile, scrabble releasing a less competitive, more inclusive version to the game to appeal to gen z. >> ainsley: now can you play, brian. [laughter] >> steve: essentially lets you cheat and apparently people like that. >> lawrence: can i finally win. second hour of "fox & friends" starts right now and remember mornings are better because you're our friend. ♪ >> steve: all right, friends. here's how we kick off the 7:00 hour live from new york. a fox news alert. a the dhs secretary alejandro mayorkas impeachment proceedings are put on ice for a while.

>> ainsley: while president biden claims the courts are the ones preventing him from solving the border crisis. >> brian: really? peter doocy live at the white house. hey, peter. >> peter: and there is an item that is just crossing that according to axios, president biden is very well aware that he is getting killed on immigration. is planning to try to put forward an immigration related executive order at the end of april, at the end of this month. that would be big because part of being president is getting sued. president biden knows. they put forward his student debt loan plan even though he knew it was going to wind up in the courts and he did. so far he has been hesitant to color outside the lines when it comes to border policy but it sounds like that's going to change and is he putting out the word in this univision interview last night. >> well, i suggest that we're examining whether or not i have that power. i would have that power under the legislation when the border has over 500,000 people -- 5,000

people a day trying to cross the border because you can't management it would slow it up. there is no guarantee tee that i have that power all by myself without legislation. and so are suggesting i should just go ahead and try it and if i co if i get shut down by the court i get shut down by the court. we are trying to work through that right now. >> peter: president biden has been on the record earlier this year saying he would have the power to shut down the border if the bipartisan senate deal became the law but it's not going to. so, until that moment, he has just been claiming that his hands are tied forever. and his dhs secretary in charge of all of this alejandro mayorkas is remaining in limbo longer the house that already impeached him delaying sending the articles to the senate. apparently republicans there in the senate need more convincing. a white house spokesman is now saying if republicans actually believed this impeachment was so urgent for the security of the border, then they wouldn't have

delayed sending it to the senate for two months or now delayed it again for another week. lays bear how baseless and devoid of substance this whole p.r. stunt is going to be. there is also going to be a very rare president biden press conference with the japanese prime minister later on today, 12:30 in the rods garden. we don't see very many outdoor events very hard to keep protesters with mega phones far enough away to avoid disrupting it. we will see how they do today. back to you. >> steve: peter, you would just have to disrupt it, just saying going back to lead story axios sounds like he is considering an executive order by the end of april regarding the border. it sounds like for a while we heard a month or two ago they were going to do that. but then border crossings went down and less big headlines but

then polls i got do something dramatic. >> peter: according to that story a lot of folks work here in the west wing and policy shop concerned about the optics of shutting things down the way that the previous administration did. but, if it's going to be the difference between getting another term and going back to delaware forever, then it seems like they are going to try to see what kind of power they have at the border legally. >> brian: thanks, peter. and here's the thing, with the president, he is still in his party under the impression tough on the border the message to hispanics is we don't like you. so he is going to have to talk to univision in a way that's inclusive on hispanics. and he is trying to point out that donald trump is not. he is calling them all criminals. and animals and he is not. he is calling the people that murder lake lynn riley animals. the venezuelans beat up cops animals. of the guys with neck tattoos

and gangsters animals. people know the difference. you are putting down the hispanic community when you overgeneralize like that. >> lawrence: ainsley, when he decided to do his drive by on the border. >> steve: drive away. >> lawrence: you are right. the protesters that were meeting the president, all of them were hispanic. it wasn't like this massive crowd of white folks there saying hey, secure the border. these were people that immigrated to this country legally and said that joe biden, you need to fix the problem, so i don't understand who is giving him polling data in the white house suggesting that hispanic americans, hispanic americans are upset about him not securing the border. >> ainsley: there has been more than 300 on the terror watch list while he has been present for the last three and a half years. 14 under donald trump in all of his four years. don't forget this is joe biden's crisis. he decided on day one to sign executive orders to make the

borders open. he was saying in the interview last night he wants dreamers to have a path to citizenship and enough to officers, enough people at the borders with our border patrol people. he said we don't have enough machinery to detect fentanyl and illegal drugs. when i'm watching. this i'm thinking then fix it. >> lawrence: right. >> ainsley: whose fault is this? >> lawrence: he got rid of the machinery. >> ainsley: you are right. >> lawrence: all the technology goes with securing the border sat there and rotted because he decided to gets rid of the wall. it wasn't just the wall that got destroyed when he passed that executive order saying get rid of all of donald trump's action. it was the technology on the ground, too. >> ainsley: remember, he decided to go to the border after it was announced weeks before that donald trump was going. >> brian: he looks so natural. >> steve: couple weeks ago some sort of executive order. apparently according to this axios article today, the current president was worried about a trump-like lockdown and the optics regarding that and peter

kind of touched on that. so, according to this, what they are probably going to do is use the authority under section 212 f which gives the president broad leeway with an executive order to restrict the order not hispanic people but simply the people who are going to claim asylum because that particular statute says you can restrictt the number and this is what donald trump used, of certain migrants if it can be determined detrimental to the united states. so, it will be interesting to hear the actual language about, okay, we're going to stop people -- these people from coming into the country. >> lawrence: took them a little over three years to come up with some type of policy. >> ainsley: right. >> lawrence: conveniently, election year. >> seven months until the election now he wants to change the policy. it's too little, too late, people know what has happened.

the message has been told. >> brian: threat to america christopher wray has talked about nonstop. the threat is real. all the alarms are going off about china and the terror threat. and we don't know what they are doing at the southern border. he doesn't seem to know. but, as a nation, this is the number one threat because, when you have the soviet union, didn't have the economic fire power. here with china you have the economic fire power and you have a sense that they want to take us out in order for them to survive or thrive. listen to him yesterday. >> today's national security threats are more complex and sophisticated than ever. we're seeing hostile nation states becoming more aggressive in their efforts to steal our secrets and our innovation, target our critical infrastructure, export their to our shores and front and center is china, the defining threat of our generation.

to put it simply, the ccp is throwing its whole government at undermining the security and economy of the rule of law world. >> brian: through tiktok, fentanyl, military. harassing of the philippines to alarming japan. it's time for a wholehearted response. south korea, we now have japan is going to commit to put 2% into their defense. the phili philippines is threatn a daily basis. we have obligation to defend them. hopefully the military industrial complex will understand there is a lot of customers willing to write checks that's how clear the threat to china is today. >> ainsley: he says china's hacking program is larger than that of any other major nation combined. he said even if we took all of our agents at the fbi and put them on china's hackers. china's hackers would still outnumber the fbi cyber personnel by at least 50 to 1. >> steve: it wasn't just china. he also was talking about north korea and iran and russia. and it's -- and they are all

working to try to break into our computers cyber hacking. he said russia is targeting underwater cables critical to global communications. he said ever since ukrainian invasion, russia has been conducting reconnaissance on the u.s. energy sector, which is terrifying. and here's the thing. he said yesterday at that lunch for the american bar association in d.c. he said that russia does not care if their cyber campaign effects civilians. but, just remember, remember when the hackers shut down the colonial pipeline and joe biden said, hey, if you ever do anything like that again, we're going to do something to you. well, i got news for you. according to the director of the fbi, china and russia doing it every day. >> lawrence: he said that to iran as well. he told them not to invade into ukraine as well. i guess my question would be, as the fbi director laid out the threat, who is going to ask him when is the last time you talked to the president. do you think the president is

aware of this? what's the policy now of the administration? because you are saying one thing but the president of the united states as well as all of his allies, the white house press secretary says that the greatest threat is white supremacy. is donald trump. it's about them -- donald trump say something that he going to overturn the election. like, we keep hearing one thing from the people that are supposed to keep us safe and we are hearing something different from the administration. >> ainsley: we have all these chinese nationals going across our border and he said too china is recruiting human sources to target our businesses using insiders to steal the same kinds of innovation and data that their hackers are targeting. >> brian: right now they say president biden says the greatest threat to democracy is donald trump but the fbi director says it is china. and china is following russia's lead and trying to use ai and bots in order to influence our elections coming up and our thought divide america on race, ethnicity, gender. they can play us and playing the hits right now. keep in mind, this, too, is that

they are under the belief that they are better off with joe biden as president and people should understand and think twice before they see any ads attacking or trumpeting donald trump's -- >> lawrence: you would think we would troob egg to increase. >> brian: unify. >> lawrence: getting our military in order. instead they were too focused into an investigation into our military to figure out who was a part of right wing extremist groups. >> brian: do you know what they found out? there was none. >> lawrence: it doesn't exist. >> brian: michael waltz put it out on a friday their investigation yielded there was no immersion of white supremacy in our military. >> steve: fbi director sounds the clarion call about adversaries and terrorist groups trying to destroy us each and every day. after the lunch, he was asked questions. they opened it up for q&a. and he was asked about well, you know, the house of representatives wants to cut

$500 million from the fbi budget. and he responded well, china ain't cutting their budget. and he went on to list all the people who are trying to blow us up every day. >> lawrence: speaking of china. covid cover-up. senator rand paul claims 15 federal agencies had previous knowledge that the wuhan institute of virology. trying to make covid like virus. >> steve: lucas some people knew and we are just now finding out about it? >> that's what senator paul is alleging. accusing 15 government agencies knowing full well that the wuhan lab in china was trying to create a covid like virus and didn't do anything to stop it. senator paul says after his repeated request, the u.s. government finally turned over documents that show a relationship going back to january of 2018 with peter wuhan institute of virology. they were seeking federal

funding. senator paul says the red flags were ignored including from fauci. the kentucky senator appeared yesterday on "america reports." >> they were involved in the proposal and that was to create a virus that looks a lot like covid-19 and may well have been covid-19. nobody revealed this and anthony fauci continues to say hey, i knew nothing about this. this was his own agency. >> dr. fauci and senator paul, the long standing feud sparred frequently during fauci's numerous appearances on capitol hill. >> dr. fauci, knowing that it is a crime to lie to congress, do you wish to retract your statement of may 11th where you claimed that the nih never funded gain of function research in wuhan? >> senator paul, i have never lied before the congress. senator paul, do you not know what you are talking about, quite frankly. >> you can read senator paul's complete piece on f foxnews.comn how he alleges the government covered up its ties to the wuhan

lab, guys. >> steve: that is just jaw dropping. lucas, thank you very much. we were just talking about the fbi. it was christopher wray who told our own bret baier that it seemed like the fbi was of the opinion that it was a lab leak. remember that? >> ainsley: yeah. >> brian: the cia didn't sign off on that yet. they are still thinking about it. >> steve: they might have, but it's a secret. >> ainsley: several agencies did. others did not. >> lawrence: maybe they didn't have the coverage courage to do the right thing and have the support of a lot of people in the media as well. no one really wanted to ask dr. fauci questions, look, can you call him a patriot and he served his country for a long time. if the moment that we needed him the most, to give us the factual information, he did. kellyanne writes in her book when he was telling everyone to mask go-to-go into white house meetings. the moment he saw a camera out he put the mask on. >> steve: put on two masks. >> ainsley: the vaccine if we took the vaccine we would not get covid. >> lawrence: which was a lie and

they knew it was a lie. >> steve: 7:16 in new york city. carley joins us with news from utah. >> i certainly do, guys. the presumed skeletal remains of a teenage boy who went missing are found in a remote area of the utah desert. the remains are believed to be that of 19-year-old dylan rounds who disappeared from his family farm on memorial day weekend of 2022. a suspected squatter who was living in a trailer near rounds' property is accused of murdering the teenager. he has been charged with aggravated murder and abuse or desecration of a human body. the parents of michigan school shooter ethan crumbley have been sentenced to 10 to 15 years in prison. james and jennifer crumbly are the first parents in american history to be held criminally responsible for a mass shooting committed by their child. a survivor the columbine school shooting reacted to the sentencing. >> i think this is a bad and dangerous precedent to take the

blame of a teenager who knew what he was doing was wrong. it's just a dangerous precedent. >> but judge cheryl matthews says the sentencing reflects repeated lack of action on the part of jennifer and james that could have prevented their son from committing a mass shooting. attorneys for new jersey senator bob menendez's wife are asking to delay the start of her corruption trial. nadine menendez's lawyers requesting an 8 week delay so she can, quote, provide the court with an update on her medical condition. they don't reveal the specifics of the medical condition she has but added it would require surgery and, quote: possibly significant recovery time. the bribery trial for both her and her husband is scheduled for may 6th. both have pled not guilty. former president trump set to hold a fundraiser in atlanta today after his huge haul over the weekend that brought in $50 million. today's fundraiser reportedly

cost $6,600 to attend an event along with an additional 25,000 bucks to take a picture with the former president. eric trump will join us live next hour. vice president kamala harris shares who she thinks is the funniest member of the cabinet. >> i mean, the person that i definitely have the most fun with is the president. he is fantastic. he's -- he is -- he can be very serious, obviously, but he has got an incredible sense of humor. >> carley: he might not be everyone's favorite member though. a fox news poll shows 59% of voters disapprove of the president's performance. and it is national sibling day and brian's two brothers steve and jimmy want to share a very special childhood story. >> you know, april 10th again. comes around every year. >> yep. national siblings day. >> i know, it's amazing. one other sibling that isn't here because he is too busy. out doing something writing

books. we wanted to talk about a little bit of our younger years. >> i think 14 years brian was autographing birthday cards. nicknamed our father silver fox. >> on the cnn. >> silver fox. >> is he very upset with dad because he didn't have a handle when people were contacting him. i'm jim. no, you have to have a handle, silver fox. made him feel good about gray hair. happy national siblings day. >> carley: i have never seen a picture of your brothers, brian or what they look like. so cool. happy national siblings day to the kilmeade brothers and everyone else who has a brother or sister. >> steve: that's awesome what was the story about the silver fox. >> brian: i was really into the cnn. i cb. talk to strangers. numbers you have to get on and use the numbers. >> steve: like a 10-48. >> brian: 10:48. >> steve: do you remember what a so-48 is? >> steve: car accident with injuries i believe.

>> brian: i used to sit there on the radio all day and talk to strangers and tell them our address. and then he wouldn't have a handle. so i had to name him. and then when he would pick up cnn and talk to people i would make him use his handle. >> steve: silver fox. >> lawrence: he has been on radio a long time. >> brian: right. i was draining batteries for a long time. >> ainsley: desperate to be on the air. >> brian: still trying to get affiliates back then. >> ainsley: anyone show up at the house. >> brian: no one showed up at the house. when my dad needed it. i guess he had a flat tire or stuck on the side of the road. evidence blew up everything. didn't use any of the language. embarrassed the whole family. >> steve: kilmeade boys, thank you very much. doocy sisters happy siblings day and you would like to say what? >> ainsley: happy sibling day to my brother trent and sister elise. lawrence? >> lawrence: i love y'all. i don't want to give your names out because i don't want to embarrass you. >> steve: we will have to google that. >> brian: thanks to my siblings hopping on camera and using microphones. >> steve: and talking about cb radio days.

as anti-israel protesters demonize support for israel over in michigan. [chanting] >> it's not genocide joe that has to go. it's the entire system that has to go. [chanting] >> brian: there you go. how does this factor into free speech and how should president biden respond. let's ask former doj official and fox news legal editor carry kupec urbahn. your thoughts about saying death to america in a crowded area like that in full view of the camera? that allowed? just as an american it's horrifying. the fact there is rally and all in response to what is happening in israel defending themself against horrific attack by hamas is startling, as far as the speech people can say that but it doesn't make it a good

situation for anyone. and i would imagine it's caught the ears of law enforcement but, again, it's protected speech under the first amendment, unless there was some kind of imminent threat attached to it, which said something like okay, death to america. we are going to meet on the street corner and here are the weapons and we are going to kill that person. that would be a problem. but, as it is, you know, that's what people can say. >> brian: can you say death to america and he said this in 2021. >> from the river to the sea, means the absolute annihilation of the zionist regime. [cheers] >> it is absolute evil. it is a cancer in the middle east and in the world. there is no way to deal peacefully with such an entity. >> brian: so, when it comes to america, if he says there is no way to deal with peace, is he talking about israel there. their chief ally, at what point is there a subtly to the i'm

listening to this person. is he calling for action, hates america. can you call him in for questioning? >> you know, it's still too vague. the situation where i would see that not being protected is like what i just said. this there has to be a imminent action, call for action with the means to accomplish that and a date and a time that's going to happen soon. and so without that, it's just upsetting speech but it's not illegal speech. >> brian: all right. this week the house is going to be renewing on that fisa program reviewed by fbi officials now have msnbc and cnn contracts. people like matt gaetz says i'm not going to do this regardless. others want reforms in it. the fbi says they absolutely need it. your thoughts, kerri. >> fisa is a nional security tool because it was abused and we saw it really abused against team trump and his associates during the crossfire hurricane

investigation, there's a lack of trust that the american people have now with respect to this tool. the problem is or i should say the challenge is that it does thwart terrorist attacks but where the challenge comes in is that the fbi can't speak publicly about it because the average american doesn't have security clearance. so when i was at doj, brian, the fbi asked for my help in making sell on the reauthorization of fisa to the american people. the first thing i said to them okay, you need to give me concrete examples so people understand how this is keeping them safe in their everyday lives so they can wrap their arms around it and not just think about how it was abused. the problem was they couldn't give it to me because it's classified. that being said. this very -- the members of the house have been working for over a year to reform fisa and they have actually put a lot of good things in place to protect against abuse so we'll see how that goes. >> brian: right. so if you want to follow me and you have some problems about people i'm associating with.

guy up to a judge if i'm an fbi agent. you have got to find something on brian kilmeade. okay. i need a green light. i need to be able to tap into his personal email and everything else. there nobody on my side. because i don't even know i'm about to be investigated. so the judge never gets to hear the other side. that's why it ends up being a rubber stamp time after time. right? >> well, fisa is for foreign nationals. quickly, brian, if i could mention a few of the reforms that have been put into place that they are looking at this week, reducing personnel who can authorize fisa by 90%. compliance with directly tied to compensation. this is the key. because of what happened in crossfire hurricane. it prohibits the using of political opposition research and media reports to secure fisa orders. and now, also, enhanced criminal penalties for those who abuse it. so former a.g. barr and secretary of state mike pompeo put it really good op-ed piece together on foxnews.com. and i would encourage people to take a look at that today why

they lay out why this is important and why these abuses can be prevented going forward. >> brian: just to be clear. they did follow trump officials that were not foreigners. >> tremendous abuse. they were able to tie it to someone overseas and do it. again, this is a tool that has thwarted numerous terrorist attacks from isis. it's helped fighting china and russia. >> brian: i hear ya. >> it's important but the trust needs to be rebuilt and that's why these parameters are really important. >> brian: so hard to put ethics into people. kerri, thanks so much. steve, that i can it away. >> thanks. >> steve: brian, thank you very much. we got some headlines. we start with jay leno. jay leno has been granted conservatorship status over his wife's estate. leno's lawyer telling the judge his wife may voice, who now suffers from dementia jay and ms leno have been married for over four decades. meanwhile the nashville bar

and what i found was 87 registered democrats on our editorial staff, zero republicans. i presented this at a all hands or large news meeting and i said hey, look, something has gone wrong here. >> steve: what went wrong? our next guest says it's one of the reasons he stopped listening to npr. fox news contributor and "the washington post" columnist marc thiessen joins us now. marc, good morning to you. >> good morning and say 10-4 good buddy to my friend brian kilmeade. >> steve: indeed. right back at ya. >> it's not surprising that people based in washington, d.c. at this broadcasting outfit are to the political left, it's just surprising that this guy is essentially blowing up his whole channel. you know, we lost our way. we are not doing both sides. we are just doing a narrow part of the left side. >> yeah. you know, is he an old school liberal and very courageous for

doing this. there has been a rash of these recently. had you adam reuben stein and bennett who did exposes on their time at the "new york times" and how the "new york times" lost its way with big essays and columnist and the free press. what is different is the "new york times" isn't taxpayer subsidized, npr is second of all is he still. they wrote their pieces after they left. he is still there. and is he going to -- i mean, think about how frustrated he must be. he loves this institution. he has been there for a quarter century. i used to love this institution. lots of us did. even conservatives who thought they were beautiful stories and beautifully -- beautiful broadcasts. even liberal bias. is he so frustrated in trying to get some bias there that he felt he had to go outside the institution and call them out publicly in order to save an institution that he loves. and you know, it just shows how the echo chamber that they are in there that they wouldn't even listen to him. >> steve: yeah. and he does talk a little bit about how when donald trump was

president, they did everything, for the most part, they could, to damage his presidency. but, i remember that going back for a while. i remember them going after george w. bush, mitt romney. >> sure. >> steve: john mccain. the guy you work for, george herbert walker bush. >> yep. >> steve: it goes way back. >> yep. it does go way back. it has changed if you read george bentd's piece about the "new york times." one of the things he points out is it used to be that there were was liberal bias. now that bias has metastasized into illiberal bias. favoring one side of the debate. illiberal bias is trying to suppress the other side of the debate. to suppress conservative speech. and it's gone even further than that in the sense that they're also pushing conspiracy theories nowadays. the whole russia collusion hoax and the steele dossier that they pushed for so long has destroyed their credibility. you had the -- the "new york times" had remember anonymous, the supposedly senior official

in the trump administration leading the resistance turned out to be some mid level guy at the homeland security department. so, they are literally pressing -- pressing conspiracy theories and suppressing conservative speech. >> steve: well, you got a feeling that there are probably going to be some republicans in congress who say are we really comfortable giving them all that federal funding because they do get millions and millions of dollars. marc thiessen who used to work for george w. bush, oops, got the bush wrong. >> that's all right. they were both great. >> steve: they were both presidents in a family. fantastic. all right. thank you, sir. all right. meanwhile, an eye-popping $25 mcdonald's deal going viral. a $25 deal? and did you know can you actually order a tiny house on amazon? it comes in a box. and, the classic board game scrabble is releasing a more inclusive version to appeal to
