primetime." tonight: joe biden continues his quest to remake america. i want you to think about that. just about 60 days ago. it was a cold clear day in washington. joe biden, moments after putting his hand on the bible and reciting his oath of office, said this: >> today on this january day my whole soul is in this bringing america together. we have never ever ever ever failed in america. when we have acted together. >> brian: his whole soul he said. his entire speech was all about reaching across the aisle and bringing america together. now 64 days later we know that what he said was a flat out lie. not only did he not mean what he said in that speech, he never meant it. biden knew he was walking into washington with a slight majority in both chambers of congress. radical agenda was on his hit list though. if he had any interest in working with republicans, he would reach out to his 40 year friend the most powerful republican in the world, in washington, mitch mcconnell. how did that go? >> i haven't been invited to the white house so far this administration. >> when was the last time you had a conversation with president biden even on the phone? >> i don't believe i have spoken with him since he was sworn. in we had a couple of conversations before then. >> brian: is that any way to make a deal, don't talk to him? you see, when your goal is overhauling america, you don't bother sitting down with the opposition. instead, according to axios, president biden held undisclosed meeting in the east room of the white house with a group of historians to put his transformational agenda into context. how pig is too big he asked? how fast is too fast he asked. historians made it clear speed matters, size matters. remember, promises are easy. keeping them is tough. remember when president obama said this? >> we are five days away from fundamentally transforming the united states of america. >> brian: he tried. but he didn't succeed. president biden is not just picking up where his old boss left off. is he blowing obama's progressive agenda out of the water i'm not kidding. 1.9 trillion disim columbus chocked full of state subsidies and new entitlesments it if your jaw is still on the ground keep it there. $3 trillion infrastructure some say it will be 5 trillion even though i held up 10 fingers just mean five. then blow up the filibuster something he promised he would never do to solidify democratic power base with hr-1. that's going to be a voting thing. what's after that tax the secone second amendment. make d.c. the 51st state. joe biden wants to change every aspect of american life. i'm not kidding. the way we travel and work and run our businesses and vote. the way we educate our kids. for historical context we need to go back to the 1960's with lyndon johnson and 1930s with fdr. >> restoration calls, however, not for changes in ethics alone. this nation is asking for action and action now. >> ours is a time of change, rapid and fantastic change bearing the secrets of nature. >> brian: johnson's great society revamped healthcare and civil rights. green new deal overhauled are banking systems and things like social security. try to go further left than any administration has gone before. remember what ronald reagan said government is not the solution to the problem? it is the problem? well, guess what, joe biden and big government, they have come here and it's now our problem in every aspect of our life. with that, let's turn to a man who also knows joe biden well. is he at senator from south carolina lindsey graham. senator, has president biden reached out to you? >> no, i haven't talked to him before the election. the problem with this whole change america is you have got to change it for the better, not for the worse. look at what is happening at the border. it's changing for the worst because president biden doesn't understand what he is doing when it comes to the border. he has got to put vice president harris in charge of cleaning up the mess at the border. i would gladly work with her but she doesn't understand what has generated this problem. this is not a trump problem. this is a biden problem. it's pretty hard to fix a problem if you don't know what the problem is. so, i think the republican party is going to come roaring back because this radical agenda will not go well with middle america. >> brian: senator, look, he is close to blowing up the filibuster right now. the 5 trillion is in the hopper right now. and he has popularity over 50% right now. and he has got both seats of government right now. what makes you think the next thing going down your throat pause is he not going to negotiate with you is not going to be an structure package full of things you never planned on? >> it could be. it could be. change the filibuster is not as easy as you think it is. there is a quorum requirement in the senate. i don't want to get too technical. but you can't pass anything in the senate unless have you 51 people show up. if they do this radical move to change the senate, to make d.c. a state, to spend multiple trillions of dollars on their liberal wish list, we do have some power up here to fight back and we will. but, i think it's all going to come undone around immigration. president trump brought order to chaos. why do we have so many unaccompanied minors coming to the border? it's not because of seasonal changes. joe biden changed trump policy and it was pretty simple. trump was going to send every unaccompanied minor back to their home country, check them for human rights abuse. but they were all going back home. joe biden said we will no longer deport unaccompanied minors and they are coming by the tens of thousands. trump said if you apply for asylum you have got to wait in mexico until your court date. you can't be released into the united states. the biden administration did away with the remain in mexico policy that trump had and by the summer, there is going to be at least a million people knocking on our door at the border unless they reinstate trump policies. we will see if vice president harris can figure this out. >> brian: well, look, there is no sense of you don't have a sense of what vice president harris wants to do at the border. you don't have a sense of what joe biden want to do at the border except blame trump and those were his words today. did you have a proposal today. you it have a way of solving the border problem if people would tap knew. you also want to overhaul immigration. it was just yesterday when they decided to go down and go to guatemala and new mexico. senator, what's it going to take to get to the central american countries and even mexico to get them to guard their own border? >> well, you know, trump did it. trump got the mexican army to deploy along the southern border and by at the presents of thousands. he created a situation wherein the triangle countries you would apply for asylum in your home countries and the northern triangle countries worked with trump because they were afraid of him. he is willing to help the northern triangle countries build their economy but they have to help with illegal immigration. i do know what harris thinks about the border. she want to have open borders. she wants to provide illegal immigrants with free healthcare. that's what she says when she is running for president. it's one thick to run for president and vice president and it's another thing to do the job. the mexican president said that he blames joe biden for the spike in illegal immigration. joe biden is blaming donald trump. here's what the american people figured out. that the border is deteriorating on biden's watch because of the choices biden has made. not being trump is the centerpiece of biden administration. when trump got it right, it doesn't matter. they just don't want to be trump. i'm going to the border tomorrow with 18 senators. i will make a prediction that immigration will be a bigger issue in 2022 than it was in 2016. >> brian: have to go to facilities where they don't choose to show us video. they're actually shooting their own video for us. what ace into thing for the government to do. go to texas where it's overrun. you have to go to places where they are in pens, maybe not in cages but in pens. senator, we always talk about the double standard but this is as egregious as it gets. talk about kids in cages more kids in cages on his watch broken up pandemic mind you and they are not exactly treated in sanitary conditions. but we are writing big checks for them to stay in hotels and on military bases. >> well, pandemic are coming because the policy now allows you to stay in the united states. unaccompanied minors under the biden policy can stay in america. there were 684 kids in a shelter built for 80. this is a nightmare along the border. how do you fix it? go back to the trump policy of telling every unaccompanied minor and their family if you come to america you are going to go back home, you are not going to stay here. if you want to seek asylum in this country, you have to apply outside of america. you are not going to be released inside the country. hoping that you will show up four or five years later for your court date. if you have will do those two things, which my bill does, this will stop in about two weeks. if you don't do this, it will never stop. so, i believe that the visit this weekend to the border is going to be very important for the country to understand how these policies are failing. this will be the achilles heel, the undoing of the biden administration will be their immigration policies if they don't change course. >> brian: the unscripted portion of being president is not something they are not yesterday for if you are falling downstairs or have a problem at the border or russia pulls their ambassador that was not in the plan. senator, if there is a problem in afghanistan you go. iraq you go, syria you go. problem at the border you go. i wish more senators had your energy. appreciate it? >> thank you. thank you, my friend. >> brian: you got it. also here karl rove former deputy chief of staff for president bush and fox news contributor and geraldo rivera fox news correspondent at large and guess what? special surprise for you, both have exclusives for us. geraldo, let's start with you. you have a special come up on fox nation. you will let us see some of the footage you shot at the border. your team has shot at the border. that focuses on not so much unaccompanied minors but the drugs that are coming across. what are we seeing? >> we see drugs are obviously a hot commodity, have been at the border for a very long time. what you are seeing is undocumented immigrants being paid by, you know, the coyotes, that's how they pay off their transit across the border. they have to agree to carry drugs. and, as you see, you know, in one of the stops, now that vehicle had a couple of kilos of pure cocaine, that craig, my brother craig and the team photographed in the san diego crossing. also, you know, they had two or three undocumented immigrants also stuffed in the speaker system in the loud speakers, you know, the speaker audio system in the vehicle itself. so you are seeing a combination of drugs and people being smuggled oftentimes the person being smuggled paying for their transit, which can be over $10,000 per person per trip by agreeing to be the mule to carry the drugs across. >> brian: geraldo, what you know and i'm going to for our audience i will say it, what we are seeing at the border is the reason why your teenagers are in we hab or failing out of school or hanging out with the wrong people. because, most of the drugs coming across that border, don't tell me you are not a border state and it's not your problem. it's your problem. karl, before i get to your exclusive about voting and what you are about to put in tomorrow's "wall street journal" kirks ask you to weigh in on what do you think lindsey graham will see friday and what do you think the vice president will do now that she has the keys to immigration. >> i don't know exactly what he is going to see but i will tell you what i saw last weekend i was in baitsville, texas, 70 miles from the border. 70 miles. i was down there hunting. and on the ranch they found an illegal alien. and on the highway in front of the ranch, the police pulled over, the sheriff pulled over a small truck with five or six teenagers all of them illegal. the oldest was 15. and we are 70 miles from the border. i have been on south texas for more years than i want to admit. this is one of the worst years yet my hunting companions have seen out in the pastures. we are in the end of february. about 400,000 people in this fiscal year that's by the end of this month, we in all likelihood we will eclipse what we had in the entire previous fiscal year and the biggest month for border crossings are yet to come. that is to say april and may. >> brian: i know. geraldo, i want to pivot to your legal background and talk about hr 1. they are going to basically federalizing elections and they are going to make a lot of things traditional and try to indoctrinate into law in a simple majority in the senate. is it going to stand the constitutional test? >> i think it would. assuming they get it passed in the congress and the senate as well as the house, brian. which is no slam dunk by any means. it's a 50/50 as you know. the filibuster is still in existence. so i think it will be very difficult to get passed. but, generally speaking, democrats want to limit or rather the other way around, republicans want to limit the number of people voting. democrats want everyone to vote. they put the burden of proof on the republicans do on the voter. the democrats say we assume that you are eligible to vote. now, i have no problem with federalizing the presidential election. i would like to have. >> brian: i do. >> one size fits all in the presidential election. i want to know whether mail-in ballots are appropriate. absentee ballots. in ohio, my home state as you know, brian, we led absentee ballot vote. we had drop boxes and, yet, donald trump won decisively by 9 points. republicans can't compete. they shouldn't be afraid of it. i think the democrats just want everyone to vote regardless. >> brian: geraldo, thanks. let's finish up with you, karl. it's a lot about messaging, too. if you want to keep state by state, if you want to sanctity and proof of i.d. with voting. it's not racist. that's really what your column is about. reality as opposed to messaging and perception. >> my column is about democratic hypocrisy. you mentioned voter i.d. in georgia there is a bill now that requires a driver's license number to be on your mail-in ballot. you have to put on your driver's license number. so that they can confirm and verify it's you. and the democrats call it racist and vote suppression. well, guess what? in new jersey, virginia, and california, if you want to register to vote, tough have a driver's license or your social security number. are those states racist? are we going to have stacey abrams going out and claiming those states are racist. similarly in iowa they attacked a bill that said we are going to move our closing time back from 9:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. and they said well, that's racist. well, look at all these states, california, delaware, massachusetts, rhode island, michigan, minnesota, pennsylvania, maryland, d.c., they all have 7:00. the same opening and closing hours as iowa. so, my column tomorrow is about all -- about a number of instances where the republicans are being called racist for doing things that democrat states are doing. >> brian: wow. not many people can say they had karl rove, lindsey graham and geraldo rivera in their a block. i really feel like i'm truly special. nobody is going to buy the "wall street journal" tomorrow. you gave away your stuff. >> i saved the best stuff for the journal column. >> brian: you got it. >> you are right. you are a very special person my friend. >> brian: thank you. that's going to help my self-esteem very much. thank you, i appreciate it. ahead tonight, what is behind vp harris power gain? government rebranding and it immigration crisis? why what the woke mob doesn't want you to hear. kentucky professor says there is good news about race in america. ♪ ♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪ ♪ we made usaa insurance for veterans like martin. when a hailstorm hit, he needed his insurance to get it done right, right away. usaa. what you're made of, we're made for. usaa age-related macular degeneration may lead to severe vision loss. usaa. what you're made of, we're made for. so the national eye institute did 20 years of clinical studies on a formula only found in preservision. if it were my vision, i'd ask my doctor about preservision. it's the most studied eye vitamin brand. if it were my vision, i'd look into preservision. only preservision areds2 contains the exact nutrient formula recommended by the nei to help reduce the risk of moderate to advanced amd progression. i have amd. it is my vision so my plan includes preservision. ♪ >> brian: all right. according to the experts, your toddler should be walking by 1, talking by 2, dismantling white supremacy before they get to pre-k i'm not kidding. that's a "the washington post" story. the paper getting slammed and they should pushing an article pushing social justice programs for toddlers who have evidence of bias in. they recommended everything from children's music classes about gender to anti-racism flash cards. but my next guest insists despite what you hear about america, we are not racist. kentucky state university professor willeford reilly joins us now. in 2021 america it is not objectively speaking extraordinarily hard for a person of any skin tone to make it. professor reilly? welcome. >> good to be here. >> first, a lot of people want you to expand on that statement but i'm going to go back to my original one. are toddlers born racist? >> no. not in any real sense. i think you have seen an expansion of quote, unquote, wokeness to younger and younger people. there is actually a best selling book out called anti-racist baby. it actually is true in the social sciences that toddlers trust people with faces that look more like those of their caretakers pretty early on. but the catch is that those caretakers can be of any race. almost a quarter of marriages in the u.s.a. are interracial. i don't think you need to train your baby to fight homophobia as of yet. >> brian: that's good to know in 1954 you write we wanted segregation in country, 1964 all discrimination became illegal. 1967 we started with affirmative action. where are we at in 2021 that makes you feel so optimistic. >> i think we are in a fairly good place. as an honest man i will say there obviously is racism in the u.s.a. we see some, for example, 8% of facts of racial bias when you look at who white americans say they would work for, vote for. when you look at rental housing. but, as you said, the simple reality is that for about 50 years in the u.s.a., to counter that specifically, we have had pro-minority affirmative action programs and the civil rights act in place. and what you see in general is a working functional mostly integrated society. as per those stats about marriage. one of the things that comes to mind to illustrate this, as of last year, seven of the 10 richest groups in the united states were populations of color. indian americans. i believe nigerian americans cracked that list. taiwan niece americans certainly did. filipino americans. it's hard to explain that in the context of quote unquote white supremacy. >> brian: when it comes to income what could you say about whites and nigerians earn more than the average white americans. >> nigerians are one of a couple black groups. guinest mixed black and east indian population. west indians were a few hundreds. 400 to $500 behind caucasian americans. but, yes, all those groups that came here from other societies to succeed in america out performed white americans, african-americans, and hispanic americans. native americans as well for that matter. >> brian: professor, how do you explain in america right now not only is that not the reality for some or maybe most, but they want reparations for things that happened in 1619? >> well, i think that the reparations idea focuses at least in any form that makes sense focuses specifically on african-americans. the idea is that it is racism, to some extent today that causes those income differences between black americans and these other groups. but, as the article illustrates there is more to the picture than that. if you adjust for some pretty basic things the region people live in, age, the most common age for a white american is 58. most common the mean average but most common age for a black american is 27. throw in test scores. adjusting for those things in the real world after 50 years of the civil rights act eliminates a lot of these gaps. there are a lot of practical problems with reparations who gets them? who pays them? do the descendants of union soldiers, for example, and who is next? i don't see irish americans or native americans are not bringing a case next. >> brian: professor, lastly, the way we started can you make it in america today? is it easier to make it in america today than ever before. >> i think that there is a reason that for all our flaws and our ethnic conflict and our entertaining politics people come from all around the world to compete. i think that is a black american or a white american, maybe a little cynical about the country. i don't think that someone who came here from pakistan and out performed both does. >> brian: got it. kentucky state professor reilly thank you for your specific. perspective you wrote about 1776 and 1619. thank you professor. >> thank you for having me. >> brian: red state reo'reilly in appalachian. how west virginia may be joining texas and florida in a important way. no state income tax. joe biden said what we have all been thinking. >> when she speaks, she speaks for me. >> brian: why kamala harris is taking the lead on america's border crisis. that story next. i'm going to head upstairs. feel the cool rush of claritin cool mint chewables. powerful 24-hour, non-drowsy, allergy relief plus an immediate cooling sensation for your throat. feel the clarity, and live claritin clear. it's lawn season. and i need a lawn. quick. the fast way to bring it up to speed. is scotts turf builder rapid grass. rapid grass is a revolutionary mix of seed and fertilizer that will change the way you grow grass. it grows two times faster than seed alone for full, green grass in just weeks. after growing grass this fast, everything else just seems... slow. it's lawn season. let's get to the yard. download the scotts my lawn app today for your personalized lawn plan. - [narrator] stand with his people, israel. now and forever more. - inside these buildings in jerusalem and throughout israel, there are many elderly jews who are suffering daily..

and she speaks, she speaks for me. >> brian: what's going on here? let's ask mollie hemingway senior editor at "the federalist." she is not bragging she just got elevated to that position on her own thanks to no one. tell me, what's the president up to here putting the vp who is figure gling on the prospect two days ago about the immigration crisis and suddenly she is in the middle of it. >> yeah. he says that she speaks for him. and i don't think he means by that that when she says that he is racist, as she said during the debates that that is speaking for him or when she said she believed the women who accused him of sexual assault and harassment. i don't think he is saying that. he is saying that he does support her policies. and i think that that is something you have seen already. she wants to bring this california style approach like if you like how california is governed, if you think they are doing things well, that's what she brings to the national government and that's what he wants. he has said that he wants to have the borders flooded and he has said the things and created the policies that enabled that and so she says, you know, she laughed about going down there. now she says she wants to remove obstacles that are delaying the influx of people. and so that, i think they are speaking correctly. this is the biden-harris policy just as progressive as all the critics said they would be. >> brian: the arrest time we heard about the border i believe was when she was a candidate and then the attorney general said she was looking into decriminalized border crossings. is that what she is carrying to guatemala, honduras and mexico? >> i mean, this is what they have been saying consistently. it's actually what joe biden was saying, too, during the debates. people should not be surprised that you have this crisis. this humanitarian crisis. because, when you encourage people to cross the border this way, you are encouraging cartels to make $14 million a day trafficking humans and all the problems that come across with that trafficking of humans. and it incentivizes some really bad actors to behave poorly. that is what they have said that they wanted and that's what the country is now suffering through. they don't believe really in having borders. and they are following through with what they said. >> brian: she is getting a lot more power in the last 48 hours kind of interesting. talk about to be deafness, it seems like the vice president is going to be with bill clinton in a conference on empowering women. empowering women conference the last time we heard about bill clinton we were talking about how many times he was on jeffrey epstein's plane. when we hear about bill clinton as of late it was how many times he was with paula jones and how people wanted to apologize to monica lewenski the way she was treated during his administration. why would she think this is a good idea? >> there are a lot of things that you can think of that bill clinton has done to women and empowering them is not one of them. it shows, too, that this whole me too movement was a political joke where they would accuse people who were innocent of wrongdoing such of a brett kavanaugh of being serial gang rapist and excuse this bad behavior of their friends and allies such as bill clinton and other democratic actors including the current governor of new york andrew cuomo. they are not serious, they don't take this issue seriously they think of it a political cudgel as to something they care about the treatment of women and you should care about the treatment of women. >> brian: juanita that broderick weighed in i wonder if howard university would like to include me in empowering women event with bill clinton to discuss this? nice move. she doesn't forget about it and make sure we don't forget about it. final thought? >> well, it's very important that people do encourage all men, republican, democrat, to treat well and this is something where kamala harris, you might remember, with the kavanaugh confirmation hearings, was absolutely horrible to brett kavanaugh. when there was no evidence for her to be that way. and now she has no problem sitting with bill clinton talking about women and not realizing how the rest of that -- how that feels to the rest of the country. >> brian: big tech comes to washington tomorrow. bernie sanders had an interesting response in a "new york times" interview when asked about donald trump being banned from all social media how he felt about it. listen to this. >> do i feel particularly comfortable that the then president of the united states could not express his views on twitter? i don't feel comfortable about that. brain brian is he pretty consistent. i mean, not many people should feel comfortable about that. he goes on to say it could be me next or somebody else next. >> well, the fact that bernie sanders can say that is -- it just brings to mind how ridiculous it is how every republican in the senate and every republican in congress should be screaming bloody murder about what big tech did to affect a national election to sensor people. there was a federal judge recently who said one party control of the media and big tech is a threat to democracy it. is and it's time for our leaders to treat it as such. >> brian: mollie hemway, thank you so much. i appreciate it. >> thank you. >> brian: still to come while one of america's most successful businessmen employees 40,000 people having trouble getting employees to go back to, would. at a time when president biden is looking at raising taxes the republican governor of west virginia says his red state is doing so well right now, is he planning on doing away possibly with personal income tax. what could stop him?

>> well, i mean, brian, i hope and pray none of us hate one another and we are all americans when it comes all comes down to it, but, no, it doesn't. it stunt really bother me at all because, you know, i'm doing the right stuff for west virginia. we have got west virginia on a good path now. and a lot of people are finding west virginia to be the diamond in the rough that they missed. rather than the kind of backwards state or the poorest state or whatever it may be. you know, but west virginia is really on a move. and we have diversified our economies and we have absolutely led the way on the pandemic from the standpoint of first on the nursing homes to test them all. first to vaccinate them all. getting the vaccines instead of leaving them on shelves in the warehouse and trying to figure out a system that i always say is just count the egg sucking cows. why count the legs and divide by four. just count the cows. we didn't want those vaccines on the shelves. so we got them in somebody's arm and i will and truly we saved a bunch of lives in west virginia. i think we are on a really good pathway in west virginia. >> brian: do you worry? i don't know if you watched the start of the show, if not, i will get you a copy. i just talked about the way president biden really plans with the next infrastructure package to push the green new technology. he has already banned drilling on federal land. are you worried he is going to cut into your fracking success and if he starts doing that are you going to take action against the federal government? >> well, brian, i surely hope and pray he doesn't do this. we would absolutely take the action. and i would just shoot this shot, you know, across the bough of our president and say, i wish him the very best. but if you will just step back, he now is in the hot seat. a lot of the criticism for president trump, you know, are coming home to roost now. you know, when it really boils right down to it, what's happening on the texas border, what's absolutely happened in texas when we all -- we had so many people freezing to death. now what's happening with our fossil fuels andnd everything, d we are not -- we are going to awake into a situation where everybody is going to realize we can't do without fossil fuels maybe some day but we can't do without that today. and if we don't watch out, this president is going to run us right dead off a cliff. >> brian: better stop listening to aoc. for the record, the governor of west virginia not only can get vaccines in people's arms also tie a tie in had 5 seconds. it was about two minutes to go and he had no tie on and he suddenly realized he wanted to have one. you are a game day player. governor, congratulations on this and congratulations on the column that's about to come out. actually a big compliment to you and your staff and your state. appreciate it. >> brian, thanks for all you do every day. you are a super star. we really appreciate you. >> brian: you got it. thank you, sir. meanwhile, coming up straight ahead, the owner of more than 500 restaurants, not to mention hotels, casinos and the houston rockets, revealing his take on the economy coming back to life. it why he needs people to work for him. ♪ it's an important time to save. with priceline, you can get up to 60% off amazing hotels. and when you get a big deal... you feel like a big deal. ♪♪ priceline. every trip is a big deal. to navigate your active days, weathertech has you covered. mirrorfone secures your phone to almost any smooth flat surface. ♪ ♪ cupfone keeps your phone secure while driving. ♪ ♪ hi mom. -hi. the deskfone even adjusts for horizontal viewing. ♪ ♪ while the tablet holder keeps everything in the perfect position. nice. the best way to secure your devices is at weathertech.com so you're a small business, or a big one. you were thriving, but then... oh. ah. okay. plan, pivot. how do you bounce back?

you don't do this. we do this, together. bounce forward, with comcast business. brian brian don't need to tell you in this last year businesses large and small have faced the testifies stating impact of lockdowns, some have decided to open up while others leaving their economies crumbible leaving employees to fight for their livelihoods for day in and day out. tilman fertitta knows that quite well. he owns dozens of restaurants and casinos. of course the houston rockets. i think i did the last event from my book sam houston the alamo avengers in your hotel. the pandemic started the next day. how have you weathered this storm tilman fertitta? >> it was difficult. it was difficult for all in the beginning. it was difficult for the employees and, of course, it was difficult for all companies out there. what really happened and this has been horrible with all the people that have died in this country and all the people that have been sick. but you have got to remember texas opened up on may the 1st. and a huge part of our business is in the south. even though we are the largest operator in california and the largest operator in manhattan when it comes to full service restaurants. we have so much in the south and we were able to start doing business. even if it was at 50% and 25%. and that's really what did it and then the casinos opening and when the casinos opened with all the stimulus that was thrown out there in late spring, it just helped us. and it helped our business. and it let us bring a lot of people back to work and today we're on our road back to recovery just like every other business in this country. >> brian: so as i mentioned i don't know people more extended to you when it comes it the entertainment business in every way shape and form. had you to lay almost 40,000 people immediately let them get on unemployment and hold on tight. now you need those workers back. what happened tillman, fertitta? unemployment 6%? >> because unemployment has that additional $300 a week and when this was happening with this new stimulus, it was something that really didn't need to happen because all businesses were back open and we all needed employees. and anybody out there going to hotels, restaurants right now, any business that needs your service employees they are struggling and service is not at the levels that we wanted in our restaurants and our hotels and our casinos because we are truly struggling now and getting people back to work because if somebody is maybe 250, $208 in unemployment and get the additional $300 a week. what happens is somebody says gosh, can i just sit at home or if i'm only not making an extra 70 or $80, $100, i don't have to payday care so there is no reason to go to work. and right now what's happening is minimum wage is going up. and that's what the government wanted, is because everybody is fighting over employees right now. but it is definitely the employees and the buyer's market right now. >> brian: you can't get anyone to staff your restaurants and hotels and casinos and that means the natural, obviously you will have to raise wages to get the people means more people are getting paid. for the rockets they went into the bubble, no fans. you phis don't even have half full right now. most teams only have maybe 10% full. how much of a financial burden has that been? >> well, the houston rockets are one of the most successful teams, you know, in the nba financially. and up until the last few weeks from a winning standpoint also. but, the rockets are fine. >> brian: it's been tough though, right? >> it's a strong enterprise and operates by itself. and it's great. and what we're getting now fans back. and also we're getting our concerts back starting in may. so it was only a 10 month blip and you deal with it and you move on. but it just is something we weathered better than most companies. but i think a lot of companies you are going to see when it's all over with you are not going to have this fallout of so many companies. companies found a way to fight through it. and we didn't get any ppp money. we didn't take it even though we qualified because we look at ourselves as let everybody else get it first. but, at the same time, a lot of ppp money was never used but it became kind of shameful for large company, even if it's private like mine, to take it and as i look back on it, maybe i should have taken some of it. >> brian: yeah. a lot of law firms did take it because they were just under the cap there in terms of employees. tillman, i'm so glad you are okay. thanks for joining us tonight. appreciate your story and go ahead and frequent his restaurant and hotels and casinos because you guys have been through a lot. thanks tilman,. >> thank you so much brian. >> brian: we just got this in a fox news alert from the pentagon they are stepping up to help combat the surge of migrant surge at the. temporarily house uncompanied minors vacant bases in san antonio and lock land. they will also construct a facility in land belonging to fort bliss. unbelievable. they say this will not effect military training. by the way, thanks for watching tonight i hope you joan me tomorrow from 9 to noon on fox news radio because you have the brian kilmeade show, for example. all right. meanwhile, here is tucker carlson. is he up right now. thanks so much for watching tonight. this has been me all week long. tomorrow is going to be even better if that's impossible to. here's tucker carlson i know he has a great monologue. ♪ ♪ ♪ >> tucker: good evening, and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." it's funny how no one really covers "the big story." instead the news media bring us minutia all the time. cart loads of it. a middle aged professional golfer hurts his leg in a car accident and networks go wall-to-wall. they gave his car crash more coverage than they gave the bombing of syria, literalry. then a few weeks later some weird fake duchess from l.a. gives a boring interview to oprah and we stopped the presses. that's all we talked about for days. meanwhile, something legitimately momentous happens and it's crickets. just
