other services were spilled in afghanistan when the president reforced us to retreat unceremoniously. we don't even make the batteries. china makes them. so china just keeps benefiting. >> todd: winsome sears we benefit when you are on the program giving us the real. we appreciate it. "fox & friends" starts right now. ♪ ♪ god a jam going now ♪ welcome to the space jam ♪ all right. ♪ >> ainsley: how appropriate is that because we have a mission to the moon this morning. anywhere between 8:33 and 10:30 we are being told. i think that depends on weather down at the kennedy space center. you see this beautiful live look

and can you see the countdown at the top of your screen. look at the vice president and her husband will be there to speak. this is the first time a woman and a person of color has gone to the moon. >> steve: that is ultimately the goal. this particular flight though will be unmanned. they will have three test mannequins strapped in to figure out what radiation effects and everything else. you will see it live if it goes off on our show. it's all about the heat shield, they say because it's a test flight. the idea is to make sure that the heat shield can protect the people inside and they really won't know that until it comes back. >> brian: yeah, i mean, you got to -- you are going to watch two rockets disengaged and then ultimately just be the orion craft that will go into the moon's orbit, whip around a few times and then come back octobe. so that's a 42-day mission. and we'll probably cover all 42 days. >> steve: you know what, brian,

you are probably right. we will mention it because the idea is if this goes well they will put people on it, go up, go to the moon and then the moon missions will ultimately lead, as we look at the solid rocket boosters to a mission to mars. which is really cool. >> ainsley: if you know you are going to be on this final mission and watching today you hope it is a success and everything goes well for the next 42 days. >> brian: 60's and 70s we were doing this regularly and now go back. before china goes back and claims it as their own. >> steve: that's right. >> brian: china just love to grab stuff islands are the latest. >> steve: intellectual property. >> brian: you can take the dark side i will take the light side. >> steve: one thing about that rocket. they have never blasted it off before, never, not once. this will be the first time it will be exciting here and you will see it here live. it's the biggest rocket in the history of the world. >> ainsley: checking back in with janice to see what the weather is going to look like. i saw her this morning on "fox &

friends first." she said so far so good but we have seen that change. >> brian: welcome back to you. >> ainsley: thank you. i was on vacation. it was a lot of fun. >> brian: you enjoyed yourself? >> ainsley: i did. i was with a group so they work out all the time we were doing yoga and working out with my friend lindsey normally i do 12 reps and take break she does 60 reps and burpies in between. >> steve: it was not a vacation. >> ainsley: in the morning we worked out every day we did yoga and did a hike and got lost. 50 minute hike turned into a three hour hike. >> steve: surprise you didn't make the news. >> ainsley: small little island called mystic, have you heard about it. >> steve: to the east of aruba. >> ainsley: down near like caracas and venezuela. steve the gr green deans. >> brian: are you sure you weren't in training camp. >> ainsley: i felt we ate so

much food but i felt better about myself afterwards. thank you, everybody was asking questions about the show and what y'all were really like. >> steve: did you tell them? >> ainsley: i told them you were nice a and then there is brian. i love you both. i'm thankful to be back at work. thank you for letting me have a little time off. >> steve: i prom missiles in the next three hours nobody is going to work out. sit on the couch and drink coffee. and, of course and maybe a blast off. look at something else. it's a crime wave. look at america's crime crisis and another violent weekend all across america. >> brian: where are the cops? a lot of crime. sunday shootings leaving cops injured arizona. robbery attempt on our nation's capital. >> ainsley: so much crime over the weekend and todd piro joins us live with the details. >> todd: steve, ainsley and brian, begin in phoenix where police are responding to a massive crime scene after two police officers were shot three

people including the suspects are dead following a shooting near interstate 17. thankfully the two officers are recovering and in good spirits. police did not reveal many details about the shooting last night but did say there was an exchange of gunfire between the suspect and police. they did not mention how the gunman died. meantime in oregon, three people are dead, including the suspected gunman after a shooting at a safeway grocery store. after opening fire in the parking lot, police say the suspect stormed the store, shooting and killing two victims and sending other shoppers running for their lives. responding officers arrived to discover the suspected gunman dead. and in our nation's capital washington commanders returning back. brian robinson is stable after being shot multiple times. last night the team writing in a statement quote he sustained non life-threatening injuries and currently treated at the hospital where team officials are on site with him. ron rivera visiting robinson in the hospital before tweeting he is in good spirits and wanted me to thank everyone for their kind

words, prayers and support. the team says robinson's injuries are not life-threatening. police recovering a firearm and looking for two suspects who fled the scene. this shooting coming just days after what was a brazen d.c. robbery. attempt and near shooting. d.c. resident iris bon gill stood ground after having a gun pulled on her. daring the gunman to shoot her after he told her to hand over her car keys. she is now speaking out after the traumatic confrontation. listen. >> days of having older neighbors that sat on the porch all day and watched and waived you on when you got home from work. i think in some ways thinking about how to preserve that inner generational neighborhood is so valuable. having more people around that know each other and that support each other would be really helpful. >> todd: a all this as at least 7 people have been killed and 16 others wounded in chicago since friday evening. back to you. >> steve: that is remarkable. todd, thank you very much. >> todd: yes, sir. >> steve: i looked at the

numbers according to the "chicago sun times" this morning about seven people murdered since friday. 16 people wounded as well. one of the people shot and wounded on front porch. somebody else was in a restaurant. somebody else was on a chicago transit train. it's not safe to go out to eat. it's not safe to be on the train. it's not safe to be at your own house in chicago. why too people put up with this? >> ainsley: this little 5-year-old, too, one of the ones critically injured in chicago. shot in the head. his grandfather said he was just starting elementary school and loved going to class and was so excited. >> brian: combine that with the rise in crime with no retribution and then the retiring and quitting cops. in new york, front page, precinct maintenance managers are back on the streets amid a staff shortage because everyone is resigning, 2400 plus have turned in their back this year. increase of 42%. this was once the safest city,

it is now emblematic of the rise in crime in this city. and i just find it unbelievable that there is not one lawmaker that will identify the problem. the problem is, you have a criminal justice system that won't enforce the law on the books. you have a sentiment in this country that to ignore and blame cops for everything. and at the same time you don't want to invest in them to get their salaries more commensurate with the risk they take. >> steve: right. meanwhile, you have got somebody born in england and now after a lifetime an adult lifetime of being in the spotlight and living in beverly nils $18 million house. ozy osborne and his wife sharon have had it up to here with how crazy the whole country has gone. they have decided that, you know, and without a doubted. he has had some terrible physical challenges in 2019. he had a fall. he wound up with that major neck and back surgery. i believe he has p parkinsons.

they have decided america is not where they want to spend their final days. sharon osbourne said it's just time. america has changed so drastically. it isn't the united states of america at all. nothing is about united about it very weird to place to live right now. >> brian: especially los angeles. >> ainsley: not only the crime crisis. she was canceled from her show. we interviewed her when we were over in london covering the jubilee and she said she just has gone through so much with that it was a really low point in her life. i think he is ready to go home. he says he doesn't want to die in america. >> brian: right. meanwhile, here is his exact quote. everything blank is ridiculous there. i'm fed up with the people getting killed every day. god knows how many people have been shot in school shootings. and there was that mass shooting in vegas at the concert. it's blanken crazy and i don't want to die in america. i'm english. i want to be back. but saying if my wife said we

have got to go and live in timbuktu i would go. no, it's just time for me to come home. especially, i mean, you look at los angeles that's been shut down forever, they welcome and are asking homeless to come live on their streets. the tent cities have taken the place over. the cops are diminished in a way that even new york could laugh at that. so, there is just -- there is a -- that's a very combustible city. >> ainsley: i understand it but i hate it for them. because we fossilled them. they used to have the reality show as the family. we followed the kids. we watched how much sharon and ozy love each other and how they stood up for one another. they just seem like such a united pair. >> brian: he did bite the head off of a bat. >> steve: that was in concert with black sabbath. >> ainsley: i wasn't there for that one. >> steve: you would remember it. here's the thing. they are rich. they can afford security 24/7. i'm sure they have a great big fence around their $18 million beverly hills house and they

can't put up with it we showed a moment ago the woman in washington, d.c., and was caught on camera, as she is getting out of her car, the guy in a mask comes over and he says give me your keys or i will kill you, she says kill me. shoot me then. she now says don't ever do that the police always say that she felt this young person came up to her seemed familiar. seem like she somebody she had dealt with through the years there. as she said in that report with wttg our fox affiliate down there. i miss the days when you could sit on your front porch and there would be retired people on the porches and they would keep on-out for everybody. it is not safe in washington. it's not safe in los angeles. it's not safe in chicago. it's not safe in phoenix. those are the towns we have talked about so far. it's probably not safe in your town. >> brian: all democrat-run cities. if republicans don't use the facts when they campaign as they get set to sprint to the midterm elections, they don't deserve to win elections.

that resonates with everybody. crime is not just limited to the cities. spreading out of to the suburbs and see runningbacks on the washington redskins commanders get mugged. nobody is immune. >> ainsley: get shot in the lower body. this could affect his career. he is in stable condition. hopefully he had will make a full recovery and be able to play again. >> steve: in the meantime the osbornes are heading to the u.k. meanwhile, coming up in the u.s. still rising in the south as the state of mississippi is declaring by the governor a state of emergency. the latest warning for those on the ground in mississippi this morning. >> brian: all right. save this date. a court date has been set to review the documents in the raid of mar-a-lago after a judge signals her plan to possibly appoint a special master. appoint a special master. what you can expect next.free

time. and those are your headlines, guys: i couldn't tell you any music about liz zoe, don't ask. i have no idea. >> steve: thank you very much. >> ainsley: kids love it. >> steve: it was fun to watch. sure looked like johnny depp was the moon man but they digitally imposed his face over. he said, you know, people are wondering what's johnny depp doing there. and he said i needed the work. i'm available for birthday parties, bar mitzvahs. >> brian: jason aldean's wife was also the center of the storm. we will be covering that later. she came out and put something on instagram which caught everybody's ire which is very, i think, very supportive of that. >> ainsley: it is 6:20 on the east coast and now to a fox weather alert. the governor of mississippi declaring a state of emergency as severe flooding impacts the city of jackson. >> brian: authorities are now encouraging homeowners to have an evacuation plan ready to goes a the river is projected to

crest at 36 feet this morning. >> steve: mississippi was hit with several storms earlier toward the end of last week, leading to catastrophic floods that washed out cars and roads as well. let's check in with senior meteorologist janice dean for the fox weather forecast. so, janice, it sounds like the river, the pearl river is going to crest in a area probably by tomorrow. in the meantime, the mayor of jackson says get out now. >> >> yeah. unfortunately all of the rainfall came last week and we're seeing the effects right now across portions of mississippi. we will, of course, talk to the governor later on during "fox & friends." but, let's take a look at the radar. i will show you where we have those showers and thunderstorms along the gulf coast. there is jackson, mississippi. we have gotten over a foot of rain. the average is about 4 inches. so incredible rainfall, historic rainfall across the gulf coast over the last couple of days. skies should clear up later today. we are still going to have a chance of those thunderstorms throughout the day and throughout the workweek along

the gulf coast. there is the rain forecast and looking at florida, of course, we have got that big launch today. art miss rocket is going to be air by 8: 30. the weather we hope is going to cooperate. looking for severe storms from the midwest down towards texas. here is the future track for the launch at the kennedy sportscenter, really exciting, of course. fox weather watch the latest details. worried about the consume his clouds in the area. potential for precipitation. we think 80% chance of launch probability but it is florida, those showers can crop up at any time so we will continue to keep you up to date on that exciting feature, especially on fox weather. they're featuring that all morning long up to launch time. all right, steve, ainsley and brian over to you. >> steve: as long as we don't have fuel leaks that darn hydrogen. >> janice: i can't help that. >> steve: just an umbrella. >> brian: some of the foreign policy challenges we have today from the weakness that china

perceives us to be from what we see as happening in the ukraine, there is strong support that vladimir putin doesn't invade if we don't leave afghanistan the way we did. in utter embarrassment to the men and women that fought there. and to the american heritage with their great military. we decide to leave, the taliban take over. the afghan army collapses. and famously, general mckenzie gets a call from al batter who is leading the taliban resistance as they march towards kabul. kabul is basically empty. do you want me to take it or are you going to secure it? we only ask for the airport, foolishly. we ring the airport. fly in thousands of people and clearly and immediately looks like hades. a bunch of people knowing what their life is going to be like if they don't get out. american servicemen and women have to ring the airport knowing that protecting them is the taliban and we keep hearing warning after warning there could be a terror attack. there could be a terror attack. and almost a year ago -- it was

a year ago friday, there was this terror attack where 13 americans lost their lives. hundreds of afghans died and over 20 ended up in lance stiewl airport -- excuse me, air base to recover from those explosive wounds. >> steve: right. >> ainsley: take a look at these faces. we just had the faces of these individuals up. look at this. stop what you are doing and just say a prayer for their families. these are individuals that are heroes that were over there rescuing afghans trying to get them on planes so they could get out and be safe. including little children. here are the 13 individuals that were killed in that suicide bombing that happened right outside of the gates, the abby gate there at the kabul airport. >> one of those faces there is california marine by the name nicole gee. 23 years old at the time. her instagram listed her locations as california, north carolina, and somewhere overseas. this photograph, , i'm sure you

will remember, of her cradling a baby at the kabul airport it went viral after she was killed because the craption below it was as she clutched that baby, she said "i love my job." the aunt, her aunt and misty newcomerstown co-sister of nicole gee appeared in a special that fox news put together to commemorate the lives of these 13 grave americans. here is some of what they had to say about what happened a year ago. what the marines said she is in a place that she can be brave and strong and help people and be selfless and all the things that they stand for was all things that who she was already. she knew, without a doubt, that i loved her -- i loved her unconditionally and she was my person and i was so proud of her and so happy for her and so

just, i don't know, just proud, just very, very proud of what she was doing. and all the choices that she had if i had the opportunity to see her again it would be in silence. i loved her. >> ainsley: you can see with the cleanings watching the eyes. the emotion, they are still processing and grieving there she is right there. she graduated from high school in 2016 at oakmont high school in california. and she went to high school with her husband. she enlisted in the marines a year after she graduated. they got married, and he was actually on a vacation. he took his mom on a vacation and he was at the casino. and he looked up at one of the monitors and he saw what was happening in kabul and he said i don't feel right. something is wrong. i hope it's not her. >> steve: she was a maintenance tech from camp lejeune and that's why she was there that day. she and 12 other brave americans died on the day that that

suicide bomber and isis-k suicide bomber it detonated that bomb outside the airport ending so many lives. >> brian: we don't know who actually did it. no one has owned up to it a report came out on thursday and friday that the guy that was there got out of bagram air base and was walking around the entrance and the cia identified him and nobody took action. and we have not officially gotten that person's name. but if that's the case. that is salt in the wound. that means this was thoroughly preventable. can you watch the full fox news series examining the consequences of the u.s. military withdrawal from afghanistan at foxnews.com. that's something that president biden says he has no regrets about, clean-up is the an astounding statement. >> ainsley: go and watch that so can you remember those 13 heroes that fought value gently for all of us so that we could be free. shifting gears forget bipartisan

bypass it president biden called pro-trump americans semi fashion issues said that is biden being biden. >> not view each other as adversaries but as neighbors. s how does semi-fascism as a label for the republican party fit with that inaugural address? >> well, the one that i think that president joe biden has been. >> ainsley: ronna mcdaniel is going to react to that coming up next.

if you have advanced non-small cell lung cancer, your first treatment could be a chemo-free combination of two immunotherapies that works differently. it could mean a chance to live longer. opdivo plus yervoy is for adults newly diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer that has spread, tests positive for pd-l1, and does not have an abnormal egfr or alk gene. together, opdivo plus yervoy helps your immune system launch a response that fights cancer in two different ways. opdivo plus yervoy equals a chance for more time together. more family time. more time to remember. opdivo and yervoy can cause your immune system to harm healthy parts of your body during and after treatment. these problems can be severe and lead to death. see your doctor right away if you have a cough; chest pain; shortness of breath; irregular heartbeat; diarrhea; constipation; severe stomach pain, nausea or vomiting; dizziness; fainting; eye problems; extreme tiredness; changes in appetite, thirst or urine; rash; itching; confusion; memory problems; muscle pain or weakness; joint pain; flushing; or fever. these are not all the possible side effects. problems can occur together and more often when opdivo is used with yervoy. tell your doctor about all medical conditions

including immune or nervous system problems, if you've had or plan to have an organ or stem cell transplant, or received chest radiation. here's to a chance to live longer. ask your doctor about the combination of two immunotherapies, opdivo plus yervoy. thank you to all those in our clinical trials.

>> steve: president biden sparking outrage last week after referring to pro-touch republicans and so-called maga philosophy as semi-fascism. but the head of the president's party, over the dnc, is not among biden's critics. >> president biden said we should not view each other as adversaries in this country but as neighbors. how does semi-fascism as a label for the republican party fit with that inaugural address? >> well, the one thing that president joe biden has been has always been consistent. >> mr. chairman you embrace the rhetoric semi fascism. >> it's not about embracing it's calling what it is what it is. >> steve: okay. here with reaction now is republican national committee chairwoman ronna mcdaniel. ronna, good morning to you. >> good morning. great to be with you. >> steve: what do you make of

you, it is what it is? >> well, this is where the democrats are right now. and they are very comfortable calling half the country semi-fascist, deplorable, whatever word they want to use, there is a disdain for 74 million people who voted republican. and joe biden, remember, ran on uniting. >> steve: sure. >> can and bringing the country together. we have a country that is suffering and commander-in-chief saying if you are a republican i don't care about your troubles. i don't care that gas prices are high for you inflation is an issue, or if your family is suffering. instead i'm going to name call and it's really shameful. and it's hurtful to people who are looking to him to lead and hopefully bring this country together which he has been incapable of doing. >> steve: it seems like it's just politics these days. it seems like there is a lot of name calling going on so it shouldn't be surprising. i was reading in one of the papers yesterday. it said essentially going into the midterms, what the democrats are going to do is they are going to say republicans are extremists and democrats

delivered. that's going to be their message going forward. >> and that's always their message. they doubled on division. they used fear. they call republicans names. and i think the american people are really sick of it right now because right now people are hurting. they are worried about their livelihood, their money is not coming in at the level they need to keep up with expenses. we know inflation is an issue. we know that drugs are an issue. and so they are saying why are you continuing to double down on division? can we just talk about how we fix problems that everyday americans are feeling right now in this country? >> steve: sure. one other thing, they're were a number of stories over the weekend about how the race for congress, going into the midterms is be tightening. it looked like it was going to be a great big red wave a couple of months ago and now it looks like they are still predicting republicans are going to take the house but the wave is not as

big. why are things tightening. >> i think this is what the media does before every election. it has to get tight because it's not interesting if it looks like republicans are going to run after way with everything. of course, i have been saying forever we don't like the phrase red wave. we have to earn every single seat in the house and the senate to take it back, but i will tell you, steve, the energy is so strong out there the voter reg numbers are strong for republicans. our candidates and i campaign with them everywhere, are so fantastic from john james to wesley hunt to monica delacruz. it is a stellar cast of candidates. not to mention our senate candidates across the country. i feel very optimistic. i think this is a normal cycle where things tightible before voter paying attention when we get to september people are going to wake up and realize we need republicans to take back the senate and the house. >> okay, ronna, forget about the pundits, what's your prediction. >> i think we are going to win. >> steve: by how many. give us a number.

>> steve, i don't know, i think it's going to be a good number. we need four to win to retire nancy pelosi. we had 15 in 2020, we need to pick up more. everybody needs to go out and support their candidates. the one thing about these news stories is i hope it motivates to give to our senate candidates and support our candidates. get out and volunteer and make sure we win in november. >> steve: all right. ronna mcdaniel, thank you for getting up so early out west. >> thanks, steve. >> steve: have a good week. meanwhile, it is 24 minutes before the top of the hour. move over inflation. businesses are now closing their doors over crime. we're going to head to the midwest where there is a surge in thefts and that is forcing businesses to shut down four hours early in hopes of not getting robbed that night. that's coming up. so we need something super distinctive... dad's work, meet daughter's playtime. thankfully, meta portal auto pans and zooms to keep you in frame. and the meeting on track. meta portal.

shortages. businesses are forced to shut down because of rising crime, no joke. not just major cities on the coast but even minneapolis facing a surge in theft. our next guest now has to close his restaurant four hours early so he doesn't get robbed again. here with more is the owner of known craft pub in twin cities brian ingraham. brian, when did this start getting bad for you and can you describe what you guys are going through? >> yeah. it started getting bad about a year and a half ago. we have gone through multiple robberies at all of our restaurants, even our corporate office which is a few blocks here from the nome. started getting back a couple years ago -- not years ago but a year and a half. closing early we implemented almost a year ago. anything after 9:00, bad things start to happen so we can't be open past it. >> brian: you have so many times the same guys is robbing you more than once, right? >> brian, that's the craziest thing ever. a guy robbed us here, was out of jail within 24 hours, he came

back and robbed us again a few weeks later and was released again. and that's what we are so angry about. i think this guy had 30 or 40 priors. and keeps getting let out of jail. >> brian: you can't get any cops and then when you finally get a criminal they can't stay in jail so the cops say i'm not even going to waste my time writing this guy up and the stats are staggering. minnesota overall 21% increase in crime. in terms of murders up 8%. aggravated assaults up 33%. so, motor theft up 9%. so, this is a sense of lawlessness and all you are trying to do is make a living. how does this go down? do they just walk into your bartender and say empty your drawer and go to your back room? >> yeah, these are burglaries that have happened over the night. we have had them break. in they know police aren't going to arrive. alarms and sirens going off. stuff that used to scare criminals away. now they take their time. they brake up to your office upstairs.

here at the nome they rolled a safe down flee flight of stairs, put it on a dolly and put it in the trunk of their car and walked out with it so crazy that they know that the police aren't coming. >> >> brian: have you thought about an armed guard? >> we have thought about armed guards. we thought about dogs. we thought about so many things. we have 20 cameras in our restaurant, so, they always can catch these criminals. most of the time the police even know who they are and they're almost embarrassed when they show up at the restaurant yep, we know who they are and exactly where they live. that's the really bad part about all of this is these criminals that just keep getting out again and again and again. >> steve: who do you blame? >> our politicians. waltz, our governor, mayor carter and i. i'm trying to work with mayor carter your job as a public servant protect the community. we are super frustrated with it.

>> brian: talking to you about crime i easily could have booked you on you can't get staff and can't get supplies. we have three things headwinds against restaurant owners. i talk to them all the time and they say the same thing. maybe not as bad as you have it because you have got crime on top of it brian ingraham. keep fighting. he wants to open up another place but he can't even get supplies to do it let alone staff to work it brian ingraham, thank you. >> thanks for having me. >> brian: hopefully people hear your story and understand they are not going to get reelected unless they answer your call. get to the pub before 9:00 because they will be closed. thanks, brian. 15 minutes before the top of the hour. go over to ashley. you have the latest news, ashley. >> ashley: i do. we will start with this. fast and furious franchise leaving residents in l.a. furious after copycat straight racers take over the roads. neighbors say the area has been overrun by street racers performing dangerous stunts, speeding through residential streets and then keeping people up at night. they are now pushing for

for this. and then you have bernie sanders who says the plan doesn't go far enough. what do you say? >> i'm going to say something you are not going to hear me say very offensive and that is nancy pelosi is right. the power of the purse lies with the congress. they have to authorize the money for the executive to make that order and that has not happened. and so, i think there is going to be some very good legal cases brought forward to challenge this. but i think, more importantly, i mean, listen, it is a trillion dollars so i don't want to minimize that i think it's going to, you know, push up inflation. this is bad all the way around. and also sends such a terrible message that congresswomen who are most pushing this are from the squad. young women who have student debt themselves who basically think they are so important, they are so elitist they say that they think firefighters and welders and waitresses should pay off their student loans because darn it, they are just so special. en that's really the message being sent to the working class

which is why you see people like tim ryan, ainsley, getting really nervous. people running for office in working class districts and states are saying oh, boy, this is not good politics. >> ainsley: congressman tim ryan is a democrat from ohio. he is also running for senate. he basically says it's not fair. not fair to the people who didn't go to college but also need help. listen to this. >> a targeted approach right now really does send the wrong message. there is a lot of people out there making 30, 40 grand a year that didn't go to college and they need help as well which is why i have been been proposing a tax cut for working people that will effect everybody. >> ainsley: what about the people who did pay off their college debt and it took them 20 years to do it. we know people who were in that boat. what about the military who wanted free college and they had to join and potentially put their lives on the line so that they could get free college? >> yeah. absolutely. sean and i are one of those couples. it took us 20-some years to pay off our student loans.

we did it and we don't like seeing, you know, people get a free handout. i think the easiest thing for the government to do is to figure out why is college tuition so expensive. these colleges are subsidized by tax dollars. that's why they raise their prices. they are sitting on massive endowments and they have huge unsustainable administrations with, you know, diversity people and people that are making the university worse by all of their, you know, positions, so that's one way otherring thing is really basic, ainsley, fix the economy. people don't actually, in the middle class at least and middle class they don't want a handout. what they isn't opportunity. fix the economy. stop spending all this money. make, you know, get rid of some of the handouts that were leftover from covid that are keeping people home and, therefore, small businesses can't hire them. all of these things can be fixed. but, they choose to, i think, buy votes before this election. and it's the wrong message at the wrong time.

leave our atmosphere and eventually -- i have been calling for a return to the moon for years and nasa just doesn't pick up the phone. now they say we do want to go back and then we want to jump civilians go there and let elon musk send people back and forth there. we are going to use nasa's ability to go to mars. >> steve: which sounds very exciting. now, we were told, initially, the launch pad time would be -- you are looking at 39 b. it is not. but they are having problems as they try to gas up the rocket. >> brian: too expensive. >> steve: not that this is not an inflation thing. >> ainsley: that was good. >> steve: put 196,000 gallons of liquid nitrogen and hydrogen. you see those umbilicals, the hoses that lead up to the rockets, apparently there has been some sort of a leak in the housing of one of the umbilicals. they had, according to nasa,

apparently they had it on fast fill which was 10 times faster and stronger, more pressure on the housing and you can see the up bliblegs leading to the rocket itself. they switched it to s fill and thee seem to not be having the problem. how long will they sit on the launch pad before they say you know what? it's absolutely safe. given the problems they have had in certain space missions they want to make sure everything is safe. >> ainsley: stay on schedule the goal is to put boots on the moon in 2025, or 2026. jonathan serrie is live in cape canaveral, florida. i understand there are 100,000 people expected to be there today, jonathan. >> anywhere from 100,000 to 200,000, ainsley. a lot of excitement concerning this mission. the launch window is supposed to hope at 8:33 eastern time. it's a two-hour window and now it looks like nasa is going to have to move into that window a

little bit because of some delays that they experience, some weather-related and technical delays. overnight concerns about lightning from offshore storms delayed fueling for nearly an hour. then, when ground operations began loading the rockets, fuel tanks with liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen a potential hydrogen leak was detected. engineers stopped the flow examine the extent of the leak. they determined it was within acceptable levels and resumed fueling. vice president kamala harris is among those attending this morning's launch. among the roles of vice president is that you chair the national space council which advises the president on policy and strategy to leverage america's role in space. now, take a look at this nasa animation. it shows what the launch is expected to look like. officials say the purpose of the artemis 1 mission is to stress test its most powerful rocket ever known as the space launch system or sls. and riding the topic the orion

spacecraft built by contractor lockheed martin. >> this is going to show that we're absolutely not in decline. our country is advancing. we are leading our partners with the european space agency along with us here and we are going to work together to get to the moon and use it for the right reasons, for science, research, and technology. >> if all goes well with the artemis one mission in two years artemis two did carry it around the moon. and after that return humans from the surface of the moon. mine resources on the moon, including water ice to convert into rocket fuel to serve as future missions bringing humans to mars. so today's mission is laying the groundwork for all that and so, even though there aren't any astronauts on board in today's mission, america's hopes and dreams are riding on board that space capsule. back to you guys.

>> steve: all eyes are on it. john thanks a quick question for you. over the last couple of years we have seen elon musk with spacex and jeff bezos with blue origin. they pretty much started building rockets and ships from the ground up brand new technology. i understand with that great big 5 and a half million pound rocket, apparently the engines are from the shuttle age, they got a couple of new solid fuel boosters, but it's the older technology, isn't it? >> yeah. exactly. they cobbled together the best of both worlds. the things that worked well in the past as well as some new things. together it makes for the most powerful rocket ever. it's capable of delivering 8.8 million pounds of thrust on liftoff. you compare that to the original apollo moon missions 7.5 millio.

>> brian: saves money, too. thanks, washington, appreciate it look we got to get to the moon and get there quick. imagine what we could do with the coverage and see it with all the technology with video. first, fuzzy black and white. uhf antenna. now probably feel like it's home. can you imagine if they find some of the rare earth on the moon that can help us with batteries, right, so we are not stripping the congo like we are doing right now. see if they have any metal up there we can use. their goal is to make moon self-sustaining. they do not want to depend on earth. they want to be able to grow their own food. they are not looking to get resupply from costco. so that is the whole thing to make it self-sustaining which is going to be fascinating to see them try. >> ainsley: what a wonderful lesson to children to learn. >> brian: children? >> ainsley: no he would not sending children. these astronauts have been training for a long time. on artemis 2, that mission in 2024, then put boots on the moon

in 2025,-26 with artemis three. nasa says they plan to learn lessons learned from these missions to get astronauts to the mars to the late late 20's and 40's. >> steve: to infinity and beyond essentially taking that expression from toy story. the main purpose of this particular mission today is to test the heat shield because they can't test it in a lab. if the heat shield survives and does what did is expected to do, you know, shield the heat, it will be a successful test. of course, they won't know that until they actually do it. and then, in like 40-some odd days when it comes back to earth in a very speedy reentry, where the recovery is very, very hot, that will really be what it is all about. a former astronaut for nasa clayton anderson was on "fox news live" yesterday had this observation about the future of space and the race. watch. >> it's very exciting for this next generation of astronauts to be able to get on this brand new

rocket and fly back to the moon and not just go there for a while but to actually go there and stay and learn how to live and work there consistently over time. >> brian: it's going to be interesting. it's going to be like the old days. after liftoff two skinnier side version also drop away. four engines of the core station of the orion capsule will shut down. >> the stage will drop off into the atlantic ocean and the capsule will be on its own. 90 minutes later a second stage will drop off. and then that will be run for 18 minutes. then they will have the translooner injection which pushes orion on its course to the moon. >> ainsley: it will stay in space until october 4th. and nasa, the budget for 20023 is being discussed right now in congress because there is such an interest, obviously. >> brian: they need to do this to sell the american people on it because every time a president walks in the easiest thing to cut is nasa.

and they keep cutting back. and now china, with the threat of china, who doesn't want to deal with anyone. they just steal neck nothing, technology anduse it now that wt dealing with the russians at all which i think ultimately is a good thing. here is senator bill nelson who now runs the nasa program for president biden. >> for the defense of the country, both defensive and offensive, space has become the next battleground. those assets now, because of the development of technology are being challenged. and, therefore, there are other assets that are developed in order to prevent those challenges. so, space is the high ground that you want to retain, and that's why you are seeing, as you suggest, the space force becoming a major part of our

national defense system. >> steve: right. because, you know, the conventional wisdom is you don't want some other country going some place and saying okay, are i claim the moon for china or i claim mars for china or russia or anything else like that. and that's one of the arguments nasa is making why they should be blasting that big ship off from 39 b this morning, however as, you know, obviously it's politics. nobody knows that better than former astronaut an senator bill nelson who runs nasa now. that's why so many people on earth are going can we really spend that much money on the program when there are people down here on earth who could use the money? >> ainsley: yeah. we saw the vice president getting off the plane. she will be speaking down there today. she was with her husband. she is going to the national space council meeting in two weeks. >> steve: she loves space. >> ainsley: he is also going to be hammering out new rules or the committee, will new rules for commercial space. she mentioned jeff bezos and elon musk. in other news, a federal judge

says she is inclined to approve president trump's request for a special master to oversee the review of documents seized from his house in florida. >> brian: yeah, the woman's name is u.s. district judge eileen cannon, eileen m. cannon. in a two-page order issued on saturday she appeared open to the idea of doing this, although she has not committed to doing this because they do have a so-called screen team, the fbi and doj, to decide hey, we probably don't need the president's expired passport. let's give it back. they took everything and anything. i guess the focus would be what was on the president's floor in his office and what was in the mar-a-lago storage area. and they took it all. they wanted to -- they want somebody else, a neutral observer. my hope is that the special master is agreed on by both sides to look through it and see what they took. >> steve: i think it would just be the judge who gets to decide. mark meredith. >> brian: that's not going to go through anything. >> steve: joins us from the white house.

>> good morning. we are expecting multiple new developments over the next few days over the fallout of the government's document recovery as well as the search of former president trump's florida estate. as you mentioned over the weekend a federal judge indicating that she is looking forward to signing a preliminary order indicating she will strongly consider appointing what is known as a special master or a third party here to review the material which was seized from mar-a-lago. this is something that trump's legal team has been calling for and the judge is giving the government until tomorrow to respond. then she is going to be holding a hearing on the matters on thursday down in florida. meantime, the director of national intelligence telling congress her department is reviewing the potential national security risks tied to the documents had they fallen into the wrong hands. but, for many republicans, the timing of this entire case is just bizarre. >> what i wonder about is why this could go on for almost two years and less than 100 days befores election suddenly we are talking about this rather than the economy or inflation or even the student loan program.

>> hearing from the former president on his social media page, he says the justice department and the fbi are practicing election interference at the highest -- excuse me at the highest and dishonesty level our country has ever seen before in the midterms as well as the 2024 presidential election. now, the former president, he continues to fund raise off of all of this, he has kind of kept a low profile ever since the surge early in august. that's going to change this weekend, guys. he is going to be holding a political rally in the keystone state of pennsylvania. steve, ainsley, and brian, i bet he will have a lot to say. >> steve: no kidding. mark, what's unusual about this and that's why at the top your report detailed wants to hear from the department of justice tomorrow because she wants to -- because they have had a head start. the doj may come back and say, you know what? we have looked at all the stuff, here is the inventory and she can decide for herself whether or not there needs to be a third party. >> absolutely. also the possibility of an appeal here. this is something that could be just keep going on and on and

on. obviously this will be something that the former president is going to say they are granting us what we have been asking for. they said the justice department has been in the driver's seat this entire time. after we found out about the affidavit and details on friday, this is simply that next chapter in this story. >> brian: kind of interesting. thanks, mark, appreciate it the president is getting -- a lot of people are urging him to get a better legal team together. that jim trusty, who has got a great reputation, was called into this late along with ed corcoran is his name. they together seem to be disjointed in their response and you have to have an organized response to all of this. main thing too, "the washington post," talk about how this happened. and senator, i think it's so -- i think it's definitely something to keep in mind. that you have senator blunt not known as an extreme partisan as well as chris sununu who is also -- not known as edges stream partisan say listen, isn't this timing strange? the president has been out of office for two years. this is going back and forth. why with 70 days left to the midterms does this watcher 9%

inflation, does this swamp the gas prices and energy exploits. does this swamp the student loan because i don't think that works to the president's advantage. why is president trump front and center again? does it work to the democrats' interest to have him. >> ainsley: a hurdle for the judge is appointing this special master, whoever this person might be, because they are going to have to have top security clearance. so they will be looking at information that is very confidential. >> steve: right this judge was appointed by donald trump. brian, you mentioned senator roy blunt of the great state of missouri, he also said yesterday on tv that donald trump should have turned back all of the secret documents before he left. >> ainsley: even though he is in support but says he wished he had turned them all over. >> steve: would have been the right thing to do. >> brian: simpler done the mike pence thing and returned everything. one thing is clear, you take the records, understood. maybe shouldn't, but it was chaos. the definition of chaos. you see those boxes piled up on the helipad.

you could see there is no organization to it. and to me, this all -- all this stuff could have been done behind the scenes and not been a major problem. and i think that's pretty evident because the senate select committee said why weren't we informed of this. if it was so bad why were we not briefed on this. why is the first thing we hear is a raid to get all these documents back? >> ainsley: that's a big issue. there is also the border issue. i know we have had two more buses this morning. >> steve: in the last 20 minutes. >> ainsley: hand it over to ashley for medicine lines. >> ashley: alert from fox news alert. a fox news alert now, moments ago two buss with migrants sent from texas to new york city. this after eric adams asked for federal a sen assistance: bordr states look for any solutions to ease the surge of illegal immigration. and the nypd is searching for the man behind this senseless robbery aboard a bus in staten island. shocking video shows that suspect stealing $250, get this

from a victim in a wheelchair, they get into a fight before the robber runs off with that money. it comes as the nypd is forcing precinct maintenance managers back on the streets for clean-up duty. the department is still struggling obviously with major staffing shortages and rising crime. and more russian strikes reportedly hitting dangerously close to a nuclear power plant in ukraine. officials say 10 people were injured by the latest shelling yesterday. inspectors from the united nations watchdog agency are headed to the plant right now. kyiv expects the international atomic energy agency to find russia is violating nuclear safety protocols. and elon musk is stressing the need for more oil and gas production. the tesla ceo just spoke at a conference in norway. he said fossil fuels remain essential to sustaining civilization. he also highlighted the challenge transitioning to sustainable energy saying it could take decades to get it right. guys, those are your headlines, a lot coming out this morning.

>> brian: joe biden doesn't want to hear that evidence's to make immediate transition. >> steve: still ahead on this monday. in the south posing a major risk to those people on the ground. particularly in the state of mississippi where the governor there tate reeve has declared a state of emergency. is he going to join us live with the latest on the devastation. and for us at booking.com this means - free cancellation on most bookings. it's a bit functional. but we'll gladly be functional. so you can be free. booking.com booking.yeah breakthrough heartburn... means your heartburn treatment is broken. it contains the leading medicine to treat frequent heartburn, uniquely designed for absorption. get all day, all night relief with zegerid otc.

>> ainsley: this is a fox weather alert the governor of mississippi declaring a state of emergency as severe flooding is impacting mississippi's largest city of jackson. joining us now from mississippi is fox weather correspondent will nunley, good morning, will, what's the latest. >> yeah, ainsley, good morning. america's weather team here on the ground watching these flood

rivers rise rivers in jackson. you may have seen some of that footage incredible video of footage day care hundreds of students taken out of day care for flash floods last week. all that water had to go somewhere and that is the pearl river which is continued to rise until thursday or friday of next week approaching major flood stage 36 feet. evacuations underway. i will show you a view from the fox weather beast. this is one of the neighborhoods that a lot of people got evacuated at this point trying to get out of the way from this rising pearl river. there is a state of emergency here in the town and the next 12 hours or so are going to be crucial for this area. because that is when the river is expected to crest and, again, near its major flood stage at about 36 feet. there is an emergency command shelter set nearby in a church to help people out of their homes, numerous roads are closed here. america's weather team is going to continue our coverage around the clock on your free fox weather app. watching this developing situation for you. ainsley? >> ainsley: all right. thank you so much, will. for more on this story and so

much more, you can download the fox weather app. or you can stream fox weather 24/7 on your favorite connected tv device and you see who is here the governor of the great state of mississippi tate reeves. good morning to you, governor. >> good morning. >> ainsley: here we are again. i'm so sorry. have you dealt with so much in the past and now again. especially effecting the people in jackson. you are telling the folks there to get out now. tell us what the latest is this morning. >> well, thanks again for having me on. there's no doubt that mississippi is no stranger to natural disasters. one of the more challenging natural disasters to deal with is rising water. for example, on saturday, when we were projecting that the peek would be at 36 feet. working with the national weather service. it was sunny, it was a bright sunny day. so you could literally stand on your front porch in some of those neighborhoods that you were showing earlier and not see water but see is sun but, yet, knowing that that water was coming up and clearly, we are

very near the peak of the pearl river. at the 6:00 a.m. reading of the highway 80 gate at jackson 35.3. we have seen positive progress over the last 48 hours. so we actually think the peak now will be at 35.5 feet rather than 36. that half a foot actually should lead to significantly fewer homes being innun indicated with water. as i mentioned earlier the challenge with rising water this is the peak at jackson. we will see the river rise all the way from jackson all the way down to the gulf of mexico. it's about 100 miles or a little more, and so we will see this event continue through probably the rest of this week and won't see the final peak before the gulf until some time friday or saturday. >> ainsley: governor, what percentage of the area that you are most worried about have evacuated or has evacuated? >> well, i think what you will find is that a large number of the people that are likely to

get water in their homes have evacuated. we have two shelters open. one in the city of jackson, one in madison county, just north of jackson. we have the capacity open quite a few more if that becomes necessary. we don't think that it will at this time, but if it becomes necessary, we will have additional shelters open for the people. rising water, again is a real challenge because it takes a long time. we will know some time in the next hour or so, sunlight is not here yet this morning. it's just a little after 6:00 central standard time. when the sun comes up or when the light comes up, we will have a better understanding of what transpired throughout the night. >> ainsley: okay. i was talking to a lady who said her house was flooded one time and she says it's equivalent to a fire running through your house. it is -- destroys everything but it's not worth your life. so, hopefully people will heed your warning and get out if they

are in these dangerous areas. anything else you would like to share with the viewers before we say goodbye? >> well, just keep praying for us here in mississippi. we are going to keep working hard. make sure that we have our emergency management plan in place but we could certainly use the prayers. >> ainsley: governor, thank you so much. we are praying for you and the great people down in your wonderful state. god bless you. >> thank you. >> ainsley: you are welcome. check in with senior meteorologist janice dean for our fox weather forecast. janice, what's it looking like for that area as far as weather is concerned? >> you saw the clear skies. we do have rain unfortunately in the forecast as we get to tuesday and wednesday. and it just goes to show you it doesn't take a tropical storm to cause this amount of destruction. we had flooding in texas and louisiana and now mississippi, the pearl river. this is the latest forecast crest that will happen today at 35 feet. at 35.8 feet. the water is close to entering the homes and then you have also got the streets of northeast jackson beginning to flood. so even though there is clear

skies. the river is still rising and that is the greatest fear. here's your future track as we go further out in time. today ♪ bad. then as we go through wednesday and thursday, we will still have the potential for thunderstorms in the forecast. and taking a look at florida because, of course, we have got a big rocket launch this morning. the latest is i believe they're delaying the launch but the storms are going to continue not only today but tuesday and wednesday. so there has got to be a better window of opportunity. we will certainly keep you up to date. fox weather.com has the latest details on your forecast in and around the cape canaveral area. ainsley over to you. >> ainsley: thanks, janice. intelligence officials now evaluating what they are calling a potential risk to national security from the documents seized during the raid at mar-a-lago. we're going to tell you more about what to expect next. ♪

often because they are not trained to mishandle information that they shouldn't be. talk about things in row one domain that they shouldn't be talking about in the public. in the end, mishandling sounds like a very flimsy reason to go into a former president's home, turn it upside down for nine hours.

throw out 230 years of american history and constitutional precedent. it's very suspicious to me. i'm a big guy that favors the fourth amendment and i -- this looks like one of the most remarkable abdications of what i think is responsibility on the department of justice. >> brian: that's interesting. i also thought this was interesting. "the washington post" today, they are trying to reconstruct how we got to where we are. and they said after they pulled out the 15 boxes, they said you to come too much stuff and trump gave back 15 boxes. they say what happened next was they took the extraordinary step for america's record keepers. they referred the matter to the justice department opening up this dramatic new chapter in what has been a simmerly dispute. so their problem with trump really dated back to when trump was in office and dragged all the way to when he was out of office. then they get the doj involved who actually alert the fbi who doesn't alert the miami bureau. they just go in themselves. according to reports surprise

became a big deal. >> first of all, you don't show up with sigh reins and lights and long arms and 30 agents and go in for nine hours and think that's not a big deal. it would be a big deal to you, brian and to me. >> brian: sure. >> a big deal to a were forepresident. the second thing is that suggests to me what you just read is that they were actually seeking to open an investigation which makes this sound like a general warrant. which makes this sound like you are really just doing a fishing expedition. if that's true, then we need to see the full text of that warrant. general warrants are illegal under the fourth amendment. and probable cause has to be based with particularity on exactly what you are looking for where you are going to find it and, you know, the bottom line here is i don't see -- i think the great suspicion of average americans and writing about this today on amac dot u.s. there is no there there. mishandling does not amount to, particularly and when you look at the presidential records act, which is an administrative act anyway, if they are looking at

obstruction, brian, honestly, if they're looking at obstruction when did we hear that word last in the mueller report. so if they are going to basically go back to that i think that americans have a right to know what's going on. i don't see the kind of transparency given the political liability here that average americans expect. >> brian: yeah. i think the the whole thing could be avoidable. let's set up a protocol. next president's archive shows up on exit go through the documents. some of the stuff is totally unnecessary. newspaper clippings. a lot of times the disorganized way in which sometimes the trump organization did their dealing over the last four years. it doesn't mean it's unsavory or illegal. >> that's right. >> brian: robert. thanks so much. appreciate it. >> you bet. >> brian: all right. breaking news now. we are hearing the artemis 1 launch is on hold for now. there is reportedly a problem with one of the engines. the original launch time was set for 8:33.

>> steve: there are concerns over china's influence rising in the pacific as the u.s. coast guard cutter oliver henry spilkered screen left was apparently denied entry to the solomon islands. here with what that means for growing tensions with china's communist regime is fox news contributor and author of the book defeating big government socialism newt gingrich. newt, good morning. >> good morning, how are you. >> steve: i'm okay. the captain of the cutter called

into the solomon he islands we would like diplomatic permission to come in. they never received a response. >> why are the solomon islands pretending we canned hear you. >> i'm surprised they didn't say no. the chinese have great deal created agreement with the solomon islands. both the place where we fought gwatney that canal big comeback in the pacific in world war ii. also only 1200 miles from australia. so a chinese military base in the solomon islands would be seen as a very real threat. that's part of why we fought over it with japan in 1942. i think what you are seeing is the weakness of the biden foreperson policy and in the sense that america is a weak country. if you are a little tiny place in the south pacific and the chinese show up with enough money and they offer a chance for you to, you know, play with

them, and you watch the americans who look weaker and weaker, you can sort of see the trend. it's very dangerous. i'm sure the chinese after our visits to taiwan went overboard to try to get the solomon islands to sort of snub the americans but it's a serious situation. australians take it very, very seriously as a threat toe their own defense and we should take it seriously as a signal, you know, china is now -- you look at a map. it is a long way to gwatney that canal which is where the will capital is from china and tells you how much they are beginning to extend their power base and trying to basically dominate the western pacific. >> steve: right. we are looking at the map right there. you are absolutely right. we should point out that the prime minister of solomon islands signed a security pac with china a couple of months ago, so it's clear what direction they are heading. >> yeah, you have to ask yourself, you know, if you are the solomon islands -- by the way parliament building was actually built by the united

states. if you are the solomon islands you have australia to your south. the united states historically protecting you since 1942. who is he signing a security pac against? it's pretty clear signing against australia and the united states. it's -- now the solomon islands have a very shaky political system, so it's possible that this guy will be out of office presently and that somebody new will come in that is more pro-american and pro-australia. it is a serious signal that in large parts of the world we are losing ground to china and we normally don't cover it unless something happens which effects an american ship but there's a gradual erosion in africa. there is a gradual erosion across the middle east as the chinese flex their economic muscle and they are very willing to payhuge amounts of money. we have state department timid and not very competent. this is a signal we have a real challenge ahead. steve ultimately i think the captain of the coast guard

cutter went some place else to gas up. nonetheless, china flexing their muscle. newt, thank you very much for joining us on this monday morning. >> thank you. glad to do it. >> steve: you bet it. a quarter before the top of the hour on this monday and ashley joins us with news of a 6-year-old. >> ashley: going to start with this. horrifying doorbell camera footage shows a brave little 6-year-old girl escaping attempted kidnapping. the girl was taking out the trash when the man approached her and grabbed her arm. her mother, joining "fox & friends first" earlier with this message for other parents. >> i let them know about stranger danger, you know, this can happen in an instant, in a blink of an eye. luckily that sweet little girl says she is okay after this terrifying incident, the fda is set to roll out another covid-19 booster shot for newer strains of the omicron variant this week. this before the agency has even completed human testing. the fbi won't rely on older data

actor and famous body builder lou ferrigno named hand area officer by the syracuse north newark police department. >> brian: right lou and syracuse police chief joins us now. chief, thanks for joining us. lou, thanks for being there. lou, why was it important? you are going to do a ride along, why was it important to join syracuse's police department? >> well, california i have been a deputy sheriff. i went through the academy. sertd find police. i like to be here phenomenal movie hermit. horror film. i'm happy to be involved with the police department i want to show my support that people don't realize what these officers go through protecting life and property. these guys are the real heros to me. >> ainsley: that is wonderful. chief, what was it like -- how did this all snap did he call you and say i would like to join the force and what did all the other men and women say when they got to meet him for the

first time? >> so, yeah, it was set up by mr. ferrigno himself and his producer. they asked to come by and talk to roll calls. i have got to tell you the cops are still talking about it i saw them when they came in over the weekend they were in the courtyard huddling together and talking about it. it was a big thrill for them and really a morale booster for them. he spoke about the importance of law enforcement and the dangers they have and how sometimes these days we are not getting the support we need. so, i want to thank him for taking time out of his busy schedule. very gracious of him. and it was a morale booster for us. >> and my father was an nypd for 26 years. he was the lieutenant. so i grew up with law enforcement. i respect that. >> steve: right. that was in new york state where we are, where you are as well. >> brooklyn, new york. >> steve: brooklyn, new york. there you governmental new york city police department. >> steve: yes, sir. so, you know, you were talking about how you were there to support the syracuse police as you have supported police officers in california as well.

you know, this is a tough time to be a cop. aside from the crime waves, coast to coast, there is so little respect for the men and women who wear the blue. >> yeah. because, you know, we are trained, for example, that if our life is in danger we have to use lethal force. that's why there is so much prop began did diss. situation the last two years and how people sometimes want to retaliate the police department. they don't realize that they are -- that's not safe without a great police force. that's why basically the training you have to go through. people don't understand that you know, once you put the badge on and once you have the uniform, you are putting your life in danger to protect other people. it's a high risk job. and forget that they think they should walk around with a stick and gun and exercising police power. the thing is for example happened in ferguson. sometimes officers get rocks thrown at them and spit on and

called different names. i mean, if they put themselves in the officers' shoes they can see what we go through. >> brian: hey, chief, if he divided to not star in the offer or not do any more tv series or movies, what kind of cop would lou be? >> he would be phenomenal. i think he could do it today. i think when he goes on that ride along later this week, he will probably take some calls for us and handle the situation. i think he would be fine and great at it. >> ainsley: lou, you might not even need a weapon you are a body builder. can you take down any criminal. >> steve: just chase somebody with an i-beam. >> ainsley: lou, an honor to talk to you. we grew up watching you. what a job we have. god has blessed us with these three chairs where we get to interview amazing people and that's not lost on us to watch you growing up and now be talking to you, it is such a treat and i love that you love the men and women in blue. what comes to mind when you talk about your dad and his service? >> yeah, it's great but that's

why you have to excuse my beard and beautiful ponytail i'm paying a cannibal at a pig farm. without my father being a police officer, i think i probably would not be around today because i have learned to respect him. respect leadership. kids today no god, no respect. they have no respect for themselves. that's why i'm fortunate to being raised with a respectable father like myself. >> steve: beware of people in syracuse, if you get pulled over and this by looks familiar it might just be the inbe credible hulk. lou and chief, thank you for joining us from syracuse new york. >> thank you very much. it's a pleasure to talk to you this morning. >> the pleasure is ours. coming up, serena's last swing, the legendary player set to compete in final match. we are live at the u.s. open.

unfortunately they've had some problems with feeling up. nasa engineers feared that a crack had formed on a section of the rocket known as the intertank because they noticed ice forming, but now they know it's a crack in the film on the outside of the rocket to insulate the tank and not in the intertank itself. they believe the ice formed because ambient air is being killed by the tank. anyway, the good news is they know what it is. it is something they have seen before called cryopumping, and it looks as if, while they've got 40 minutes on the clock, t-minus 40 with this hold, they've got until 10:30 this morning to blast off. >> ainsley: hopefully they can fix that, because keeping on schedule really helps with the whole process and program and the calendar in the next few years. because the goal is to send people to lunar orbit on the artemis number two mission, that's going to be in 2024, hopefully. then put boots on the moon in

2025 or '26 with artemis three, and nasa will learn their lessons here and hopefully send astronauts to mars in the '30s or '40s. >> brian: if you want america to be motivated -- if you are okay watching china walk on the moon before us, since we haven't been here since the early '70s, that's the one thing for some reason nasa is reluctant t. i don't know why. because china is doing it without us. >> ainsley: is there a budget issue, brian? >> brian: put it this way, the budget, and the american people say, "he that? the chinese are there. are you comfortable with that?" and the good thing about mannequins, they don't complain. it's a 4-man rocket, the orion portion of this. and there's three mannequins, and they will sit there all day if they have to.

>> steve: a lot of people look at the space program and say, why do we have to fund it? we've got elon musk who is a gazillionaire, and jeff bezos, as well. they've got their own space programs. >> brian: nasa has got to cooperate with both of them. >> steve: but why can't they just do it for private industry? then they'd be able to pocket all the change. they you can see the rockets, it's got four shuttle-era rocket engines. those are old technology, and a couple of strap-on solid fuel boosters to create 8.8 million pounds of thrust when eventually that 5.7 millios off 39 ba we've got the first female pilot and first female commander of a space shuttle who will be with us 27 minutes from now, around the town they were supposed to take off. she would tell us what to expect. >> steve: 100,000 to 200000 people are expected to be there

today to watch the launch. >> steve: at people up and down the coast. >> ainsley: now look at america's crime crisis. >> steve: the separate shootings on sunday leaving two cops injured in arizona, three people dead in oregon, and an nfl player hospitalized in america's capital. >> brian: todd piro has more. >> good morning, steve, ainsley, and brian. in phoenix, two police officers are shot and three people including the suspect our dead following a shooting, all happening near interstate 17. thankfully those officers are recovering in a good spirits. police officers did not reveal many details about the shooting but said there was an exchange of gunfire between the suspect and police. meanwhile in oregon, three people are dead including the suspected gunman after a shooting at a safeway grocery store after opening fire in the parking lot. police say the suspect stormed the story shooting and killing two victims and sending other shoppers running for their

lives. officers arrived to discover the suspected gunman dead. in our nation's capital, rookie running back brian robinson is stable after being shot multiple times last night. in a statement, "he sustained nonlife-threatening injuries and is currently being treated at the hospital where team officials are on-site with him." commander's head coach ron rivera visited him in the hospital before tweeting he is in good spirits. "he wanted me to thank everyone for the kind words, pears, and supports." the streets are not life-threatening, police are covering a firearm and looking for two suspects fled the scene. and finally, in the big apple, the nypd is searching for a man behind the senseless robbery on a bus in staten island. shocking video showing the suspect stealing $250 from a guy in a wheelchair. they get into a fight before the robber runs off with the money and it all comes as the nypd is forcing precinct maintenance managers back on the street for cleanup duty. a department still struggling with major staff shortages and

rising crime. >> steve: in fact, that last item is the fighter of "the new york post," "grime fighters." there are 77 precincts and every one has a maintenance manager. the thinking is, we can put 77 more people out on the streets. because right now in new york city they are facing a terrible head count problem. 2,465 men and women who currently wear the uniform have requested to leave the force. that is 42% more then asked to leave last year. so new york city needs cops, because crime is out of control. >> ainsley: gosh. in chicago, some dead and some injured this week after a little boy was shot in the head. he's in critical condition, so say prayers for him. his grandfather said he was starting l mentor school and excited to head back. police say three were killed and one injured by the same suspect

and that suspect is in custody. >> brian: if republicans want to enact a single seat, talk about the reality in every major city, all of them run by democrats. this is what they want. it's all about the criminal first. but the criminal first and whatever you do, don't put them behind bars unless it can be helped. you know things are going to be bad when you lose your rock 'n' rollers. and we seem to be queued up to lose, not known for being somebody who is looking for someone to be on the straight and narrow. sharon osbourne might be leaving los angeles with her husband, ozzie. >> steve: that's right. human mind, he's had health challenges for the last three or four years. he had a terrible fall, he injured his neck and his back and he had a big surgery not too long ago. he's got parkinson's. and what they have now decided -- keep in mind, they have been in the american zeitgeist for a couple of

decades. ozzy famously with black sabbath, biting the head off of bats, allegedly, at a big concert, and sharon osbourne being part of america's talk television. now they have decided they're going to sell there $18 million mansion in hollywood and they are moving back to britain, because the united states of america has changed in a bad way. >> ainsley: she told "the guardian," "it is just time. it's not the united states america at all. nothing is united about it. it's a very weird place to live right now." >> steve: and ozzy said -- we have to blink some of this. "everything is blinking ridiculous in the united states. i am fed up with people getting killed every day. god knows how many people have been shot in school shootings. and there was that mass shooting in vegas at that concert. it's blanking crazy and i don't want to die in america. i'm british. i want to be back, but if my wife said we've got to go and

live in timbuktu, i'll go. but no, it's just time for me to come home." and so they are going to buy and estates in the united kingdom. >> ainsley: he is 73 years old and they are leaving the country. we interviewed her over in great britain, in london, during the queen's jubilee. she came on set with us to talk about how hard it was when she was canceled from the show, "the talk," after piers morgan. she was lovely, she looked great, and we just wish them well. i've enjoyed watching them, i loved her on that show, and when i was growing up i watched the reality show. crazy, but still fun. they really love each other. >> steve: it's a sad commentary that you can live in an $18 million mansion which is essentially a fortress in beverly hills with security 24/7 and fences, and you are afraid. >> ainsley: and you want to leave because of the crime crisis.

>> steve: no kidding. meantime, today in new york city, big news. the u.s. open kicks off today. but will it go ahead without 21 major champion novak djokovic? >> ainsley: meanwhile, serena williams preparing for her first round match and what could be her last major tournament. >> brian: it is. gerri willis with fox business joins us now. >> hey, brian, steve, ainsley. let me tell you, it would be a big week. just getting underway with to tell of tennis' big stars in the headlines. let's start wic stomach with serena, and nothing her devolution away from the game. what she means is she is going to retire. and novak djokovic which, also famous, he will not be here because of his covid status. he can't even get into this country. the government will not let him in. what do we see here? serena will be celebrating her 27-year career in tennis. she's made some $260 million in

the game, she's 40 years old, and she says she wants to focus on her family. we will get some of that this week because she will be playing doubles with her sister, venus williams, this week, as well. that'll be a big deal. by the way, monday and tuesday are already sold out so it's going pretty well. djokovic, the 20 one-time champion, will not be here mainly because of government requirements. they are not allowing non-u.s. citizens to get into the country without a covid test, and it's been a tough year for the serbian. he has withdrawn due to travel restrictions into the u.s., but as i said, this year he was deported from australia where he went for a tournament because of that covid status. now he is saying he won't go to tournaments if he is required to have a covid vaccine. he told this to fans on twitter. "sadly i will not be able to travel to new york this time for the u.s. open. i will keep in good shape and positive spirit."

>> hi. they have a two hour launch window to attempt to get this thing off the ground today. the problem is they are going to have to push it back farther into that launch window because of a series of delays. it started with the weather. overnight there were concerns about lightning from some offshore storms that they were spotting. that delayed fuel for nearly an hour. fueling, for nearly an hour. then when they began loading the rocket fuel tanks with the liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen, a potential hydrogen leak was detected. engineers stopped the flow to examine the extent of the leak. they determined it was within acceptable levels and resumed fueling, but separately, ice was seen building up outside one of the main fuel tanks. engineers determined that it was on the outside, outside air that was being exposed to the super cool temperatures outside the tank, and not the result of a crack in the tank itself.

finally, ground crews have been trying to equalize the temperature across all four main engines. you have to keep them super cooled because of fuel, and engines for you is not reaching optimal temperature. but we'll keep you posted on how things are going here on the ground at kennedy space center. >> brian: jonathan, is there a chance we will see it in two hours? >> there is a chance we could see it within two hours. it would be toward the end of that window. if they are not able to get it off the ground today, they will have another opportunity on friday. if it doesn't work then, they will try again on monday. >> steve: all right, jonathan. thank you very much. let's bring in eileen collins, the first female pilot and commander of a space shuttle. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> steve: explained the window, would you? it was supposed to open at 8:33 this morning, which is right now, and extend for two hours.

why only those two hours? >> there are several reasons for the launch window. today on east coast time, 8:30 to about 10:30, we are sending this orion capsule to the moon. so there's many factors that go into the launch window. believe it or not, one of them is getting the orion capsule back to earth in 42 days from now, in the daylight. so when it splashes down you can see where it is. and there are many other factors as far as where the moon is in relation to the earth, and it is really orbital mechanics. there's also days, so if we don't launch today we can launch on september 2nd, i believe september 5th is another potential launch day. >> ainsley: do you think they can fix the glitch? we heard it was an engine bleed. i don't know what that means, maybe you can explain. >> they need to thermo condition the engines and they have to purge the engines. there's four of them on this stage. it doesn't sound good today for me, but you never try to predict these things because it can

change at the last minute. we just need to keep hanging in there and let's hope it goes. >> brian: let's say we get this up. it's got to get up eventually. what's going to be different from the '70s? it's just going to be one capsule that's going to land, right? you don't have to connect to anything then have that land. >> ainsley: look at this, those kids waiting. >> that's an important question. what's different from the apollo program? first of all, the name. apollo and artemis in greek mythology were twins, and i think the reason nasa picked the artemis name is now we have women astronauts and of course a woman landing on the moon in the 1960s and apostasy 70s, there were 12 men that worked on the moon. we've never had a woman on the moon. as far as technical reasons, we are not just going to the moon to collect rocks and bring them back. apollo was a very important program. we are in a race with the soviet union back then. today they are going for scientific reasons, primarily because our final destination is

mars. so this equipment, they are testing it out on the moon, especially the life-support equipment and the propulsion systems, to make sure they are reliable and they work so when we go to mars, at least six months away, we have equipment that's going to work. so i would say there are many more, but those are the big o ones. i think this means they're going to try again on september 2nd, and if they can't get that date, they will have to test out this engine and they can try again on september 5th. then we have -- if you take a look, nasa has a schedule, they are a date later in september and in october. they've got to share the launch window with spacex, the united launch alliance, space west. they take turns using the range out there at cape canaveral, so i can't tell you what date but i know they are looking at it right away. >> steve: do they have to drain the rocket of the fuel?

>> unfortunately, yes. from what i understand. based on this particular problem, maybe not, but from my understanding they have to drain it and they can't reuse the fuel like we did back in the shuttle days. they have to refill and go through this procedure all over again. >> brian: of course the mannequins -- >> ainsley: just part of the job. see three of the mannequins have committed to the next mission so it'll still be unmanned. >> steve: we haven't heard from the mannequins yet. >> ainsley: what a shame it's been described today but hopefully they can fix the problem and we can see this take off on friday. >> brian: is all about safety. >> ainsley: exactly. >> it will launch eventually. steel and eventually the light that candle, that's right. >> ainsley: congratulations on all your success. think for joining us this early. >> thanks. >> brian: coming up, retired army green beret will join us to reflect on one year since president biden's botched withdrawal of afghanistan and what he and his men had to do. i.

veterans, retired. we worked on remote signal applications to trident get them out that way. >> brian: at the state permit was overwhelmed, it seemed they were not communicating. how did you go ahead and solve this to make sure you knew, i'm retired, my guys are retired, and women, and we are here to help, don't shoot us? >> there were a lot of groups doing this kind of work. there was dunkirk, team 11, team america. all kinds of groups that stood up doing the same kind of work. what it really came down to is we knew who these highly vetted individuals were, we knew where they were, and they trusted us. we are able to present them responsibly to the men and women guarding the gate at kabul international airport. that's the role we played, we had relationships and connections and we could move them up to the gate and hand them over. what ended up being for pineapple was a 4-foot hole in the fence that they went through after an open sewage canal, then we connected with members of the 82nd airborne and they are pulled through that hole in the fence. that's what the book is all about, the relationships and the

connections between afghans and the veterans who honored that promise and all of the amazing stories that happened over the 96-hour period. >> brian: here's an excerpt from a book. "standing up for old afghan comrades with their focus. over 100 volunteers would ultimately join operation pineapple. men, would mean, warriors, different politics and ideologies, every single one focused on honoring the promises we made to afghanistan." but the reason why you guys had to honor it is because our government didn't. how pathetic is that? >> i can tell you -- really, this is an american issue, both republican, democrat, multiple demonstrations need to own this. but the withdrawal is certainly on the biden administration. the point i want to make is that, when the veterans stepped into the space and started working at, there was no politics. we do start getting our allies out. that's what we are focused on and what i was so proud of for a veteran population. they didn't get caught in any of

it, they focus on getting our partners out of there. and guys like will, who lost both legs in afghanistan and within minutes walk away from his job and helped recover the interpreter that saved his life on the battlefield. that's kind of men and women these people are. >> brian: how hard is it on the veteran community knowing they gave life, limb, and their best friend, and 20 years later we choose to end it like this? >> there is a recent pullback that says 73% of veterans feel betrayed by this withdrawal. 67% feel humiliated. this over an 80% spike on the va hotline, yet no mention on the web page of what happened in afghanistan. president biden never even mentioned any of this in his state of the union. you have all these volunteers step up and carry the weight of this thing after all they've done decayed this 20-year war, and to reenter the fray and put this on their shoulders and not even be acknowledged for the work they've done and continue to do? they are still holding the line right now with safe houses,

medical care, and no support. >> brian: you have it from us, and our leadership is not worthy of our war fighters. you've done incredible work, it's an incredible generation that you are part of and continue to serve. people that know will never think that you've been humiliated. he'd been let down by your leadership, but everyone knows you're the best in the world. operation pineapple express. if you're frustrated and want to give back, go pick up this book. you will learn a lot and be in all of what you continue to give. thanks for everything. >> it's a story that has been told. thanks, brian. >> brian: now it has, thanks to you. let's check in with janice dean. >> he's going to be on my podcast this week, as well. we love you, buddy. what's your name? >> my name is jackie. >> and martin. steege from san antonio, texas? >> very nice. what's your name? >> bernie from venice florida. >> cindy, sarasota, florida. >> it feels like florida weather right now in new york city. the high temperatures and humidity feeling like closer to
