so were they kind ler and gentler to joe biden perhaps because he has been kinder and gentler to them? could be. >> bret: trey? >> yeah, bret, trump may be the last exhibit in the trial but he wasn't the first. look at romney and mccain, they couldn't stand either one of those guys until they started criticizing republicans. they sure as hell didn't like them when they were running for president. the media likes three kinds of republicans the ones that vote with democrats, the ones that lose and the ones that die and dying is just a little too much for most of us to curry favor with the media. [laughter] >> bret: all right. we will leaf there but as the story about press that we're going to definitely continue to follow. when we come back, tomorrow's headlines tonight with the panel. ♪ ♪ (vo) ideas exist inside you, electrify you. they grow from our imagination, but they can't be held back. they want to be set free. to make the world more responsible, and even more incredible. ideas start the future, just like that. why choose proven quality sleep from sleep number? because stayin

>> it depends whether you voted for joe biden or not, quite frankly. and the issue really is what's the light at the end of the tunnel, can they stop wearing masks and social distancings. if they have a light of the end of the tunnel they are with the president. if they don't have a light at the end of the tunnel frankly they went cooperate and they are frustrated. >> bret: very quickly, frank, what's your to president biden. is your main focus optimism? >> my main focus is what he talks about which is unity. bipartisanship. give the republicans some credit. give donald trump credit for the vaccine and talk about how you got it out to the people. in the end, if we solve covid, we solve some of the challenges. if we fail to solve covid, we're going to have a really, really bad year. >> bret: frank luntz, as always. thank you. up next, why residents of guatemala are flocking to the u.s. clogging the southern border. we will hear from that country's president. and as we go to break, apollo 11 astronaut michael collins has died. collins was part of histori

. >> and they are expecting the republicans to offer an alternative to joe biden. to do so in a unified way, not to be arguing with each other. not to be arguing put left but to be offering substantial solutions that will have an impact and hardworking taxpayers. >> bret: you have the democrats here as well? >> yes, it was -- because we are going to keep this fair and balanced. the democrats aren't looking so good either. let's listen to what our swing voters had to say about that political party. >> kowtowing to the extreme left. >> too focused on social issues that don't really affect everyday life of the josht of us. >> a little dishonest but, you know, i think they are trying. >> lacking moderation right now. >> leaning with their head and very naive. >> the democrats are too left wing. the republicans are arguing too much and being obstructionists and i have got to tell you, i have heard this before in 1994, in 2006 and 2010 ima do those three elections have in common the party in power lost. the same thing as we enter into new administration, this new politic

my headline is my pillow founder interviews joe biden. you might have seen mike lyndelle thought he was interviewing president trump. he was duped. sean hannity actually has an interview with president trump. mike lyndelle did not. but he quickly moved off and it was one conspiracy that he actually said he didn't believe. >> bret: all right. thank you, panel. that's it for "special report." tomorrow watch the democratic lawmakers doubling down on what they call jim crow voting laws. thanks for inviting us into your home tonight. that's it for this show, fair, balanced and still unafraid. fox news prime hosted this week by ben domenech starts right now. are you ready in the big seat there. >> as ready ascii be, bret. thank you. good evening and welcome to fox news prime time. you >> ben: what does it mean to be a nation? it's a question we have to ask ourselves in a moment when some people seem open to the possibility of a national divorce a nation isn't just a random group of people who happen to be in the same place at the same time. it

. >> and that's a break from joe biden last summer. >> every single american should be wearing a mask when they are outside for the next three months at minimum. >> but still some fine print about masks in the open era. >> if you are in a crowd like a stadium or in a conference or a concert, you still need to wear a mask even if you are outside. >> recommendations for indoor mask wearing remain much stricter. >> we do believe that vaccinated people are much safer when they are wearing those masks indoors. >> even though some of the president's in his first tweet suggested mask indoors and outdoors could be lifted by this week. >> asking the american people to mask up for the first hundred days in the next 99 days. >> tomorrow night president biden won't wear one to an address in congress can but keeping it on for the house chambers center aisle. >> he will remove the mask when he delivers his speech. >> images like that have some republican critics heads spinning. >> i think the messaging has been all over the place when it comes to the covid saga. >> todays policy updates are still t

could you imagine him on the debate stage versus joe biden? >> g.o.p. leaders have the only black republican on the senate to counter mr. biden. >> a president who promised to bring us together should not be pushing agendas that tear us apart. >> scott's message of optimism and a compelling story simultaneously contrasted himself with headline grabbers in his own party. >> i won't waste your time with finger-pointing or partisan victory. he can get that on tv anytime you want. >> his presence on the national stage is by design for the g.o.p. >> the noisy and radical voices in the republican party are already getting a lot of attention. they need to appeal to more americans. >> scott met on capitol hill on thursday with the family of george floyd and others whose relatives were killed by law enforcement as they advocated for police reform. >> they listened intensely. they got very emotional at times. >> scott is working across the isle on his own version of police reform. president biden asked congress to pass the measure on the first anniversary of geor

so is joe biden. but there have been violent protests there. >> bret: that's an explosive story definitely. all right, my headline shows just how incomplete the press does its job. headline is covid cases keep rising. covid cases have declined from an average of 250,000 cases down to some 68,000 now. now, that's an uptick from 53,000 cases a month ago. but the press calls that a surge and says that covid cases are rising. the real headline should be "cobra deaths continue to plunge." we are down from 4,000 a day to yesterday it was just over 300 deaths. >> bret: all right. quickly. >> white house announces that pants are now infrastructure. because in the new post pandemic economy, you cannot leave your home and go to work without pants. so they will be unrolling $100 million. >> bret: i knew i could count on you. that's it for this "special report." tomorrow, we start to talk with former house speaker, john boehner. "fox news prime time hosted by warren jones starts right now. >> thank you, bret. goo

biden and the progressive wing of the democrat party which joe biden has caved to in cave two and cave to repeatedly over the first several months of this presidency. and working in a bipartisan fashion with the republican members of congress. so i understand the verbal gymnastics that politicians go through, i was never very good at it, i was thought that speaking english always served me a lot better. >> bret: the republicans of the last four years didn't seem to push concern about deficit and debt. in your days dealing with president obama, you have the opportunity with the commission to kind of go down this road but could never get it across the finish line with president obama. was that ever possible, do you think? >> that was my greatest disappointment, it really was. i wish we could've gotten there. we would've put america on a path forward, but it didn't happen. if but we did cut the deficit five consecutive years. while obviously barack obama was president and harry reid was majority leader for most of that time, so there is a way to handle the spending issue but at some point

and that lost to joe biden. >> here are the fact. data points never talked about inned the liberal press. one of these is this. absentee ballots, which is what stacey abrams has been focused on for the last three years, went from 5% of the election to almost 30%. and in dekalb county is one example only 9 absentee ballots were rejected because of faulty signatures out of 136,000. it was similar in nine other democrat counties. one in 10,000. that's why i wanted a special session back in november. we wanted the stoves do an investigation. to my knowledge that's never been done. the recount and all the other investigation focused on other things and not on the signature veracity. >> bret: so you really can't say that tonight? >> you know, what i can say is this, this bill makes it a lot better in terms of the integrity of future people who are going to vote in the state of georgia. that's a fact. it also gives people who are worried about access greater access. those are the two things i think the state legislature applauded in this tr

at the ballot box. >> no, because joe biden is a moderate. i find it funny that people are thinking that it's progressive. let's look at some of the things that are progressive. two thirds in particular that he campaigned on, universal pre-k that is approved by 84% of americans. 73% of republicans i guess they become progressive and then you have paid family leave not just our own jesse watters who likes that but 80% of americans support that again, a lot of conservatives support that as well. and, as a matter of fact, treasurers, state treasurers from 17 states are saying please we want this because there are nine states in the united states that are already have this. look, this is -- aoc and bernie sanders would laugh if i said this was a progressive bill and legislation that's being put forth. expensive? big price tag? republicans don't like that? absolutely, no question. but, at the end of the day, these are things that joe biden campaigned on and a lot of them have a majority of support of voters on both sides of the aisle. >> shannon:

i think it's sick for the president of the united states, joe biden, who has been a friend for years to say that what they are doing in georgia is jim crow .0. >> jim crow was a pejorative term for african-americans used to describe laws that disenfranchise and physically segregated blacks in the south until 1965. the three-day baseball all-star event is estimated to bring inasmuch as $100 million leading many small business owners in atlanta disappointed. >> it is going to devastate black owned business, minority business who had a piece of the pie into that stadium. >> these corporate ceos they don't understand that they don't understand the impact on the day-to-day, week-to-week financial situation that these people are in, especially coming off of cody. >> former mlb commissioner fe vincent said moving the game was a mistake writing in the "wall street journal." major league baseball can't become a weapon in the culture wars, a hostage for one political party or ideology. many georgia democrats who say the new law unfairly restricts voting access for people of color also oppose b

>> this whole smear on joe biden comes from the kremlin. that's been clear for well over a year now that they have been pushing this false narrative about the vice president and his son. >> hunter biden's laptop is not part of some russian disinformation campaign and i think it's clear that the american people know that. >> was your laptop. >> for real, i don't know. >> could it have been yours. >> of course, certainly. there could be a laptop out there that was stolen from me. >> bret: okay, we haven't seen the full cbs clip of that interview with hunter biden. we don't know if they redirect and say did you drop it off at that store? don't know. but, that's what we have so far as his book gets ready to come out. friday lightning round back to our panel, mollie, a.b., and byron. byron, it's pretty amazing the evolution of that story and now he's coming out and doing interviews. >> byron: now he tells us. he was very, very quiet for months, all through the election, the transition, the beginning of his father's presidency now he tells us hav

package in chicago. >> joe biden is very serious. about being probably the most prolabor president we have ever had. >> now the democrat most outspoken about his skepticism of the package is the target of ads from a progressive packed. >> joe manchin will invest in west virginia. to speak of the white house said that the president wants to work with republicans. >> at the end of the day the president is in action. he won't tolerate in action on rebuilding our nation's infrastructure. something that has long been updated. >> senate majority leader chuck schumer says that the parliamentarian has given him the okay to pass big packages with only 50 votes instead of the required 60. an chuck schumer staffer says it allows democrats additional tools to improve the lives of americans if republican obstruction continues. >> we will leave the mechanisms and the determination mechanisms to leaders in congress. but right now, less than a week after he announced the american jobs plan, our focused is on engaging with democrats and republicans w

shootings in the south on the same day that joe biden takes steps toward gun control. five people dead in an attack in south carolina being blamed on a former national football league player. we start off with a manhunt southern texas gunman shot three people at a business in bryan. jeff paul joins us from los angeles. good evening, jeff. >> shannon, right now authorities say they don't have anyone in custody. in fact, we are being told there is an active manhunt underway to find out whoever is responsible for pulling the trigger. now, why he had haven't arrested anyone, witnesses reportedly identified that someone that they believe is the suspect, possibly an employee at a nearby cabinet business. at the moment police are only saying multiple people shot and have not made any reference to any death. but, again, this is a developing situation. it's all unfolding in bryan, texas, which is about 100 miles northwest of houston, right near texas a&m university. investigators say the shots were reported right around 2:30 local time, reportedly near that cabinet business. th

joe biden 28% corporate tax. taxes on every american will go down. big numbers tonight? march's final four -- i mean, final play of the final game. gonzaga and baylor. it's gonzaga as a graduate of the high school, not the college. gonzaga, not gonzaga. >> bret: all right. harold? >> first of all, bill bennett don't return that ph.d. good luck to gonzaga tonight. big infrastructure bills equals important down payment for u.s. to win against china. china invests trillions. we invested in the 50s and the 60s. let's get a big one done. >> bret: molly? >> my headline is the supreme court has indicated that it wants to look at big tech suppression of american speech writes. in a concurrence today, clarence thomas, justice thomas, indicated that it's time to look at these laws and how big tech is silencing americans. >> bret: and we will look at that. thanks, panel. thanks for inviting us into your home. fair, balanced and unafraid. fox news prime time hosted be i mark steyn is right now. hi, mark. >> hi, bret. i'll give that one to bill. a nice touch of personal bitterness un

. >> if i ever hear that joe biden's a moderate again, i'm going to throw up. >> use the word "crisis" i think 10 times in his talk last night but never once with reference to the border. >> there's a big full moon, looks almost orange outside tonight. what's that mean for us? >> good night and god bless the united states of america. >> bret: one week in washington. monday on "special report" leaders of the senate intelligence committee vowed to get to the bottom of the mysterious attacks that left u.s. personnel in cuba with traumatic brain injuries. we'll bring you that story. this weekend "fox news sunday" chris wallace will interview cecilia roush, chairman of the council of economic advisers plus louisiana senator bill cassidy. thank you for inviting us into your home tonight. that's it for this special report, fair, balanced and unafraid. make it a great weekend. fox news primetime hosted by tammy bruce starts right now. >> tammy: welcome to fox news primetime! i'm tammy bruce. now, for the week, we've taken you inside the left playbook and we've revealed their secrets and schem

in 1983 joe biden called. >> it was a bone head idea. it was a terrible, terrible mistake to make. >> today republicans on capitol hill reminded now president biden of what he said nearly 40 years ago. >> we may not agree on much when it comes to policy president biden and i certainly agree on this point that it ask a terrible terrible mistake to make. >> it was a bad idea when fdr tried to do it it's a terrible idea now. >> on the campaign trail then candidate biden said he still was not a fan of adding more justices to the supreme court. >> i would not get in court-packing. >> when pressed where the president stood today the white house press secretary said: >> his position was not changed. >> but just last week the president created a commission to study expanding the supreme court. house speaker nancy pelosi said today that she supports it and shot down the bill proposed by chairman nadler just minutes before he announced it. >> i have no plans to bring it to the floor, no. >> the bill would face a steep klein in the senate but senat

look at joe biden approval rating from quinnipiac that came out earlier this week 39% on guns. and only 6% among republicans, 34% among independents and so you put all those things together and it does not seem he can stand up threatened talk and implore republicans to act. unless he is able to sit down and republicans in the senate to find out what is doable and what can pass to congress nothing is going to get done. >> bill, it depends on the issue that he asked about as far as the latest polling on his approval pugh overall about the biden approval is at 59% for the presidency. he was asked a question about priorities. and legislation. where do you think guns fall? >> oh, you are asking me. >> bret: bill bennett, yes, sir. >> sorry, sorry. well, you know, about that question, it was curious. i don't have a reporter's ear. you do. but that was the first question by the a.p. he rattled off an answer, six, seven items. at the know that question was coming just a question i have. i think it's a very high priority for him because he thinks that's a very powerful issue for his bas

bill, it's a promise that joe biden kept on the campaign trail, saying he was going to hold something like this, get back into the paris climate accord but the question is where does it go? >> first, i have got to say nice job with krauthammer and lord as panelist i say oh, no, another krauthammer replaced again by a krauthammer? >> bret: look out. >> your invitation today. no kidding. they run smart that family. i miss those lunches with charles. yeah, no, this was a campaign promise. but, you know, the representations suggested of the facts suggest will both what president and john kerry said they can't get trump out of their minds. they can't make a case without talking about donald trump whatever did he will do the opposite. but, you know, this country has got the cleanest air that had has ever had. the arrow is going down in terms of pollution by the united states. and it is just quite right to bring up what other nations are doing. earlier segment in your show showing what they are doing in china. and they are building all these coal powered plants. and they are honest about it.

biden a administration just like the obama administration be forced to reconsider the idea that israel is not our ally, but that iran is. that is been the underlying sense throughout the foreign policy and is really at odds with what our history should tell us. >> bret: trying to get back to the table on the nuclear deal now, mike gallagher from wisconsin has a statement out tonight that it is unfathomable that any u.s. diplomat pastore presents would leak intelligence to the sponsor of terrorism at the expanse of one of the staunchest allies. if this is accurate any deadly intelligence john kerry should resign. and a lot of other statements as well. here is john kerry on belmar show in 2018. >> out of office and you talk to the iranian -- >> i did absolutely. but everybody does. harry kissinger for 40 years traveling to russia and china and talking with leaders, there is absolutely nothing unusual about it. >> bret: and michael flynn did it with the russians before the trump administration got in and it was all about the logan act. i will give you the last word. >> time and fact will

keep in mind, tim scott met with her he didn't meet with joe biden he met with kamala harris. what problems do you have with my bill? i will give you an amendment for every problem you have. she got up and would not negotiate because the issue was more important to her than the solution. so i hope the media will hold her to account or at least ask her why we don't currently have police reform legislation. >> bret: harold? >> i think he is right. now is the time to try to find common ground but we shouldn't lose sight at the moment, tonight justice was served. this is not about policing in my mind. what derek chauvin did was criminal, he killed a man. and the overwhelming majority of police officers engaging in policing everyday and put their lives on the line every day to defend and protect us. derek chauvin decided to take someone's life. having said that, the spirit of what trey gowdy said to them i hope we hear from the president and the vice president tonight to reflect not only our grief and are confident and we have in the judicial system for affirmation of the political
