and that's a problem. that's a big problem. it's one that i hope we remedy in november but it's one that really plagues us across the board from our own military readiness to what's happening in ukraine, what's happening in israel and god forbid what could happen in the pacific. >> carley: that is why the u.s. embassy in jerusalem just issued that major security alert for embassy staff and other u.s. citizens in the country to try and get out because we just don't know what's going to happen. and if iran strikes directly and god forbid kills an american citizen, we could be an entire new place in this war that we don't want to be in. joey, thank you so much for joining us, we do have to leave it there. see you soon, thank you. "fox & friends" starts right now. ♪ crossing the southern border

and released twice. >> ainsley: debt release deja blew biden rolling out another round of the price tag you will love it. >> steve: because you are paying for it. it's not a scene from castaway. the u.s. coast guard actually rescuing folks stranded on a desert island not with a volleyball but they did spell out help on the beach as you can see right there. somebody saw it, and they rescued them. >> lawrence: happy friday, everyone, "fox & friends" starts right now and remember mornings are better with friends. ♪ >> steve: in custody after apprehended at the southern border and then released not once but twice into the united states. >> brian: maddy rivera joins us now with details. >> madeleine: good morning, guys. this afghan migrant on the terrorist watch list spent

nearly a year in the u.s. after being caught and released by immigration officials last year. nbc first reported mohammed was initially arrested in march 2023 near san seed dan, california after crossing illegally southern border. homeland officials say at the time customs and border protection could not conclusively prove that he was on the terror watch list. he was referred to immigration and customs enforcement and released on alternatives to detention. then as our bill melugin reports 2024 officially added to the fbi terror watch list as new concerning information was developed on him. ice arrested him in s san antono texas. the data base indicates char win is a member of hague. group killed 9 american soldiers and civilians from 2013 to 2015. char win's court hearing took place two weeks ago and during his appearance, dhs prosecutors allegedly did not tell the federal immigration judge that

he was a possible national threat only arguing he was a possible fl risk. the judge ordered him released on bond. again, dhs says char win is back federal custody next court dated is 2025. >> steve: the prosecutor could not tell the judge the information he may have terror ties. apparently the information that they had that ice got is classified. and if you reveal it in open court, suddenly people know stuff. >> you know, steve, this does represent the challenges that immigration officials have in identifying people who may pose a threat to national security chief owens told cbs in interview a few weeks ago, his biggest concern what keeps him up at night is the 140,000 got-aways which he says the situation represents a national

security. >> ainsley: laws need to change. what's more important announcing in court this guy is on the terror watch list or letting this guy out who could do it again? >> brian: does the judge have chambers? we need to talk to you in the back. >> lawrence: the moment the person was arrested, the first time, fingerprinted and inputted in our federal system because last time i checked border patrol is a part of our national system why wasn't there communication to the fbi. we need to get our communication in order. how often do we hear not only when it comes to just our watcher list but someone was on the radar before they do a school shooting or some act of terror like in my hometown of garland, texas. >> brian: same thing happened in new york with the school shooting. >> lawrence: they said we were watching him apparently not watching them. he did an act. you guys didn't have him on

radar apparently. this guy comes across the border twice and no one was alerted. >> ainsley: post most wanted posters of measures why wouldn't we post the terror watch list? >> lawrence: good point, ainsley. >> steve: the first time that he was swept into they couldn't tell if he was on -- is this the same guy on the list? federal government said we don't know. they let him into the country, maddy was talking about, a program they use a smart phone to track him or like an ankle device or something like that. and then the second time he was arrested, and brought, in once again, they would not reveal whether or not he had terror ties because they couldn't tell is this the same guy on the terror watch list? and, instead, they released him on, i think, a $5,000 bond and then they said come back in a year. that has since changed. >> lawrence: we are really blessed as a country. some terrorists you will not get two times. the first time they are in the country they will commit an act of terror. so often we forget there are a

lot of terrorists activity that we never hear about that the fbi and our national security services stop. we never hear about the ones that they stop. there's no telling who he was involved with. >> steve: ultimately, doesn't it combed down to if a person has a similar name, of somebody who is on a terror watch list, rather than let them in, why don't you just say okay, you don't get to come in until we figure it out. but, instead, the way it works right now with the revolving door it's like come, in we are going for so many people. >> brian: some countries that don't report to the tear watch list. so afghanistan, we. >> steve: why would they? >> brian: venezuela, for example. nicaragua. they are not going to give us any information. they all are coming here, believe me. that's the thing, because everyone wants to be critical of the fbi because of peter strzok and ladies and gentlemen and mccabe and they go okay, my guy, we can't trust the fbi. do you know 35,000. >> lawrence: rank and file.

>> brian: do extraordinary things daily basis who don't do it for the money every single day. >> ainsley: we said that during the trial. field office does great job. people work for the fbi and doing the right thing. listen to this, there is another illegal now in custody crossed the river on a jet ski. records are revealing that he is wanted in florida for sexual assault on a child, child meteorologist, sexual battery on a child, crossed the river was picked up by human smugglers and now is in custody thanks to those wonderful officers, the texas troopers and the rgv border patrol. also, 54 convicted sex predators who have crossed the del rio sector have been arrested since october 1st. the beginning of the fiscal year, including multiple child rape i.s. rapes of incapacitated children among other things that are too gross to talk about on morning television. >> lawrence: ainsley, to your point when the former president says some of the countries are not sending their best people, i think we have been covering on the show for years now have evidence that that's the case. you got a lot of these folks

that are criminals, have records coming into the country. >> brian: do you know what they say? and i think people have gotten -- understand this by now. they said the president of the united states called migrants animals. not migrants animals. illegal immigrants criminals here ones to create havoc and their own country wants them out and wants them here. i will bring up one other thing over in yonkers another brawl at ramada inn staying for free. all caught on video and beat up on the cops and right in uptown new york city. again. after cvs was ransacked cops show up and they start beating them up. illegal immigrant. if the former president wants to call them animals. that's not a slight on anybody hispanic or illegal immigrants or migrants who come here the right way. >> steve: as maddy rivera was just reporting, one of the things that keeps that expert in law enforcement up at night is the fact that there could be somebody in the got-aways who is a potential problem. yesterday, christopher wray was on capitol hill, essentially he

was talking about you got to give us a half a billion dollars more and brian, to your point, that's because the fbi is stopping these terrorists from coming in the country and stopping terror strikes pretty much every day it sounds like. and the way that china is trying to hack into our infrastructure and take over, you know, critical infrastructure like our lights and our dams and stuff like that. anyway, he also was there to essentially put the pressure on lawmakers to pass feis and it f. it sounds like they are going to pass a two year deal which flies in the face of what republicans wanted. five year reauthorization. probably going to get two years. they did get a buy in from the hard line right. and donald trump. anyway, here he is, the fbi director yesterday talking about what keeps him awake at night. >> our most immediate concern has been that individuals or small groups will draw some kind of twisted inspiration from the events in the middle east to carry out attacks here at home.

but now, increasingly concerning is the potential for a coordinated attack here in the homeland akin to the isis-k attack we saw at the russia concert hall just a couple weeks ago. and the irony is that as anybody who has studied terrorism knows these are terrorist organizations that don't typically see eye to eye but they seem to be united in one thing, which is calling for attacks on us. >> brian: what really kills you is the discordant maybe justified in some cases but congressman garcia looked right at them and say i don't trust anything you are saying. all i'm say something if you are supposed to be watching our back and have congress yelling at the fbi director. the fbi director saying you can't cut $500 million from my budget. i havener seen more terror alerts from more different groups in my history of law enforcement. i just say we're the ones paying the price. like watching your parents fight in front of you. this is going to destroy the

family. and they all have an out. >> lawrence: this just goes to the point that you were making before about the political appointees that were part of the fbi that did so much damage to the integrity of the fbi. >> ainsley: especially fisa. >> steve: they were not political employees strzok and page. >> brian: comey. >> lawrence: fbi director and assistant director appointed by the president. so they did a lot of damage to the rank and file officers that every single day are going out there just trying to do the job. i think it would help the fbi and i think written waiver wray is trying to wring some sort of normalcy, get back on track is, to just go out there to the american public, right the wrongs so we can move on as a country. >> brian: i watched sean last night and i understand it. sean is like why don't you condemn the president for saying the border is wide open. then political player, then it looks like he is going after republicans. if he condemned the border when trump was in there he would say what are you doing? so that's the problem. but, to sit there and say the

wide open border is making my job impossible, i don't think people would say that would be political. >> ainsley: is he saying i have never seen it this elevated in my entire career which leads most of us to wonder is it because of the border in the border is open. >> steve: we can connect the dots. >> ainsley: exactly. >> steve: it's a problem. >> ainsley: this just in. president biden will approve another $7.4 billion in student loan bailouts today. 277,000 borrowers are going to have their debt canceled as a part of the biden administration's save plan. >> steve: isn't it convenient he also underwater with students and young americans, so here comes more money. the administration has already cut $153 billion in loan forgiveness. meanwhile, white house press secretary kjp says the new move is helping americans. >> the save plan is helping millions of people who earn less than $15 per hour. have a monthly payment of zero dollars. and is helping some borrowers

get their debt canceled faster. the president will continue fighting to give people more breathing room and using every tool at his disposal to help bars. >> relief student debt americans estimated to cost $84 billion. >> brian: is he not forgiving it. he is putting it on other people. is he not just erasing it. is he not paying it out of his pocket. if he is paying it out of his pocket the delaware -- you know the fortune that he has amassed that's no problem. but is he doing it, putting it into the big pot. every month we add a trillion to the debt and now just arbitrarily deciding that college graduates don't need to pay back their loans. >> ainsley: the question is how are we going to pay for this? already in debt mortgage rates january 2022, 3.2%. remember those days? almost 7%. "wall street journal" did an article about this. talking about how under trump prices were stable. and prices didn't rise

significantly until biden's first year in office. they talk about three different individuals. one couple moved into the three bedroom rental three children in 2021. their plan was only to stay for ear year. they determined they still can't afford to buy. then, her sister, who is a mother of three, lives down the street. she is stuck in her home because the cost has deterred them from buying a larger home. and then emily farrell, they talked, to had to withdraw an offer on her house in colorado last week because the final rate from her lender she thought was going to be 7.5%. ended up being 8.9%. $1,000 more a month and she can't afford it. >> steve: killing a lot of the people. all because of inflation. we saw it starting with joe biden, inflation was like 1.9%, i think, when he took office. and then because congress flooded the entire world with so much free money, prices went through the roof. inflation approached 10%. just take a look at the prices comparing when joe biden took

office as they are right now. and, as you can see, the number under the each of these items, is the number to pay attention to. butter is up 23%. flour is up about 25%. chicken is up 25%. bread is up 30%. and a dozen eggs is up 104%. >> ainsley: that's how much more money you have to make to afford your tenels that you were buying. >> steve: here's the thing. some young people are struggling. they are living in their parents' basement. they are still on their parents' phone plans and stuff like that. that is why nic sum necessary, who is -- who has got a job he s got a job paid three times the minimum wage. icannot get ahead. so frustrated yelling at his phone in his car and ewe are running it. >> can someone explain to me in crayon-eating terms why i make over three times the federal

minimum wage and i cannot afford to live? and i do not want to hear the pull yourself up from your boot straps. work 90 hours a week. that's not the goal, guys. a one bedroom apartment, $1,800. two bedroom apartment. $2,200. who the [bleep] can afford that? it is embarrassing to come out and say that it is a struggle to survive right now but i know so many people are struggling. >> brian: credit card debt is up 46% over the last three years. think about that. everybody that you talk to now, they are not going to tell you, on average, their credit cards has doubled because they are not making ends meet so what do you do? realistically let me put that on arrested can a. you can't make up for it because inflation is not slowing down. 60% of the country is living paycheck to paycheck. your average groceries are up overall 21%, depending on where you live. >> lawrence: the president wants to introduce this new plan which as you correctly noted, brian,

is going to be paid by the taxpayers. that's putting more money into the market. more inflation. that's only going to hurt more americans. >> brian: how politically smart really is this? how many people are looking at this saying i'm not paying for his her her deal. how many 42-year-olds go i just paid off my student loans i'm a little resentful. am i too old to get this. >> ainsley: how do you feel about this? >> lawrence: the interesting thing is i don't even qualify. i'm that young person but there's a cap. i make too much money. i wouldn't qualify as well. again, go back -- even if i was eligible nor it i just don't think it's right. i was raised you have a debt. you pa i off your debt. you have decided you were going to go to college. you got take care of that i don't think it's responsible thing to teach the next generation to have people pay for their stuff. >> steve: part of it is blame congress. because the first time joe biden tried to heroes act. money will already appropriate

katieed by congress. now according to what i have read, five different laws and rules that have already been funded. how do we spend it. >> brian: the supreme court said no. the supreme court says you cannot do that tomorrow it's going to be car loans. >> ainsley: nancy pelosi said no. >> brian: yeah. she said it was impossible. >> lawrence: can't do it. >> brian: don't worry about it. it's donald trump that is going to destroy democracy. >> ainsley: how can he still do this if the supreme court said he can't? >> brian: well, is he going around. >> steve: the supreme court said -- big money has got to come from congress. the money has already been appropriated by congress for a whole bunch of different programs. and the administration just -- they are fishing around, okay, who has got money? they got money. let's figure out how to use it. >> brian: those programs were not created with the intent of paying student loans and defying

the court. reaction to the death of o.j. simpson still pouring in after his family announced he died after a battle with cancer. >> lawrence: one of the witnesses in his infamous trial is breaking his silence saying he still believes simpson was guilty. >> ainsley: chanley painter is here with more. >> good morning, everyone. that reaction to o.j. simpson's death pouring in swiftly after his family announced he lost his battle to prostrate cancer wednesday. most importantly the family of ron goldman spoke out. the 25-year-old was brutally stabbed. along with o.j.'s elks wife nicole brown simpson june 12th, 1994. in a statement the goldman family said, quote, the news of ron's killer passing away a picks mixed bag. for three decades we pursued junk forever ron and nicole and despite a civil judgment and his confession in "if i did it" the hope for true accountability hats ended. echoing is a sentiment a key witness in o.j.'s trial has lived in simpson's guest house

at the time of the murder. kaelyn kaitlin did not minutes words while on with jesse watters last night. >> my opinion he is guilty. i have that opinion and i still believe that today. on his death bed i don't know if he said a penance or not, i really believe is he guilty and if he made peace with god or not. >> news of o.j.'s death spread so swiftly through media outlets the "l.a. times" actually published a little bit too soon with an article about the disgraced football star. as you can see the president -- former president trump's name mistakenly appeared in the newspaper's obituary on o.j. the original article referred to trump as being released from prison in 2017, instead of simpson. the article was referring to o.j. serving nine years in prisoner after stealing his own football memorabilia in las vegas. as can you imagine the mistake quickly went viral with many confusing the "times" with subconscious wishful thinking.

that line was corrected pretty fast. >> brian: pretty trump got out of prison in 2017. >> lawrence: how do i explain? >> brian: a.i.? a.i. said i'm sure donald trump will be in prison. maybe projected that. but they admitted to it. but it still doesn't excuse it. if i'm president trump i'm outraged. you put me in the obituary of a killer? >> ainsley: last night's on jesse's show he showed a clip of o.j. simple being interviewed about his book where he essentially admitted it. and after the interview was over he said i have a joke to you to the reporter he started doing signals of stabbing someone. >> steve: i don't know how much you remember it i remember it pretty vividly the whole trial. the turning point is when the prosecution had him put the gloves on. but, before he put the gloves on, they had him put rubber gloves on. so there is no way he could get

his hand in there. and, you know, ultimately, the jury saw him struggle and then he had brilliant representation. johnnie cochran came up with the glove don't fit you got to acquit. and they did. ultimately. >> ainsley: they did. turning now to more headlines for you. a fox news alert. u.s. officials are warning of an imminent attack from iran within the next two days in retaliation for the idf strike that killed a top iranian commander. the u.s. embassy says the u.s. embassy in jerusalem reminds u.s. citizens of the continued need for caution and increased personnel -- personal security awareness as security incidents often take place without warning. fox news strategic analyst general jack keane will join us later with more. a shocking moment when u.k. berkeley law students turned on their jewish dean who invited them to his house and his wife's home, who is also a professor there for dinner. [shouting] >> we have attorneys.

>> okay. you don't have to get please leave your house. you are guests at our house. >> student was upset at the university for investing in weapons companies that supply israel. the dean gave a statement yesterday saying he was saddened by the protest. he also told the students his home was not a forum for free speech. new body cam footage shows new york police officers getting into a scuffle with migrants outside of the ramada hotel that brian was telling us about earlier. police were called to assist with a man who was being, quote, unruly and very violent. some of the group members tried blocking the officers from putting the suspect in the car. one of the members also arrested and she is facing an assault charge. check out this video, a suspect was arrested for crashing what police say is a stolen car into a los angeles house yesterday. officers say they tried running someone over but overestimated their target after losing control. the car slams into the house. thankfully nobody inside was injured.

and three men who were left stranded on a remote island in the specific ocean for more than a week have been rescued after writing help with palm tree off and offawns on the sand. the group went out to the ocean on easter sunday and were reported missing six days later. u.s. coast guard and u.s. navy were able to find them. the men were in good health. those are your headlines. >> steve: they probably saw that in a movie. >> brian: trump's hush money case starts monday and key legal strategy trump's team could use. jonathan turley will elaborate. ♪ roughly 37% of taxpayers qualify... form 1040 and limited credits only... see how at turbotax.com... that's me! hey! asthma's got you going through it? grab nucala for fewer asthma attacks. nucala is a once-monthly add-on injection for severe eosinophilic asthma.

section 702 would expire on april the 9th. this week, 19 republicans joined democrats in voting against the bill that would advance the program. the house could vote on a new fisa reauthorization bill as soon as today. trump and jonathan will hold a presser this afternoon, will also talk about election integrity. all right, brian. over to you. >> brian: let's talk courts. new political column comes out now discussing, quote: the surprising strategy trump could use to win manhattan trial set to take place on monday. option number one destroy michael cohen credibility as a key witness he has done a lot himself already. ask the judge to give the jury the option of convicting him on lesser misdemeanor offenses instead of on felony charges. what does fox news contributor george washington university law professor think of that? let's ask him. jonathan turley. jonathan, what do you think about those two things? >> well, they are not very surprising. these are fairly standard and predictable moves.

the first one being that you have to destroy michael cohen's credibility. but there's not much there to destroy. i mean, this is the ultimate bottom feeder witness. where the question is whether the jury is going to recoil by the prosecutors putting him on the stand. he was just announced by a judge for being a serial purger. it doesn't really help to say well that's so last week. i'm testifying in another case. he has this long litany of false statements, conflicts. you know, he pleaded guilty under oath and then later said that he wasn't telling the truth to the astonishment of many of us he was never prosecuted for that perjury. by the justice department. and now he is appearing as a witness for a prosecution team. so, this is just a very strange universe that we have entered into this case. the second issue involves a fairly standard motion that occurs when you believe that the

jury may not agree that the big ticket item of a charge, the felonies is proven. and you want the court to give an instruction saying you can always convict on lesser included offenses. in this case a misdemeanor. now, sometimes the defense doesn't want to do it. sometimes they just want to leave the jury with a cliff option. thinking that they don't want to go over the cliff, so they will go ahead and acquit. many times it works in favor of the defense. for trump, there could be personal resistance to even suggesting a possible misdemeanor conviction. but, politically and legally, it would be a very significant advantage for him. >> brian: couple of things, lanny davis, the attorney for michael cohen, i don't know how is he paying him, says there is more than just michael cohen to testify against trump. do you know anything about this? >> well, you know, i have been critical of this case since it was filed. this is the weaponization of the criminal justice system. this is a bizarre case.

and, in fact, that second strategy makes sense because this was always a misdemeanor under state law. but it's the statute of limitations had run. what they did here was boot strapped a federal crime and they're going to prosecute it, essentially, in state court. and now this is a crime the department of justice rejected. they didn't believe that there could be a basis for charging under the federal election laws, at least not a credible one. so, you have this really odd effort in order to sort of take a federal offense, rejuvenate a misdemeanor and then convict him for a felony. and it's just, in my view, raw, political manipulation of the criminal justice system. >> brian: if convicted can get probation or four years in jail. a lot has to do with the judge. i don't know if you noticed, they don't seem to like each other. jonathan turley, thanks so much. >> thank you, brian. >> brian: you got it. meanwhile, how about this question? should kids have smart phones, the mental health impact and

after listening to his interview. i don't know if you saw it yesterday but you heard that clip. do you agree with him? >> oh, absolutely. yeah, i think jonathan haidt is doing us a service. did i listen to the interview yesterday. it was remarkable. especially when he says he doesn't think children should be on social media under the age of 18. he says i want to compromise. put it at 16. but 18 is really the proper formation of their brains. and i dare say their consciousness and their souls. i think that is the thing everybody is missing here. like, you have -- you can layer technical solutions. can you layer legislative solutions but we need to think about what this is actually doing to the consciences of children before they are properly formed. that is critical here. especially for parents who are concerned about, you know, not just this life but the after life. it's important. >> steve: you are absolutely right. here's the thing. i don't trust big tech. big tech has been called on capitol hill a million times. oh, yeah, we are going to take care of it. they never do anything. a couple of the things that he said yesterday, kara, no smart

phones before high school. no social media before 16. and no phones in school. after we talked about that. i got a message from a principal by the name of thomas kirany, and he said you can't trust parents to do this because parents are going to give their kids a phone to keep them safe. it's got to be legislated somehow where these things are mandated by law. >> there are so many ways and proposals circulating in congress. eyes on the board act that senator cruz is supporting. what this does is prevents all of that pervasive wifi connections and social media connections in schools. that's one way. you are looking at the children's online protection privacy act which is 2.0. bolsters protection. instead of having that briftd line at 13. it raises it to 16 and enshrines some of those protections for children that kids online safe-t act. we're going to talk about it all of next week. the house energy and commerce committee is having a hearing

and they are going through all of these legislative proposals. so there are so many ways to do this. there is technical ways, too. that can be mandated in age verification, also huge and tech companies can do this. they have the best programmers and designers in the world they just don't want to. so, hey, we got to be able to govern when it comes to our children. it's the least we can do for them. >> ainsley: kara, listen to this. this is some of the ceos apologizing to parents, the social media ceos during a hearing at the end of january. >> there are a number of parents who children have been able to access illegal drugs on your platform. what do you say to those parents. >> i'm so sorry that we have not been able to prevent these tragedies. we work very hard to block all search terms related to drugs on our platform.

to the parents and say he is sorry. governor ron desantis is banning social media for children under the age of 14. then you have congress now considering the kids online safe-t act. it outlaws manipulative marketing and amplifying harmful content that some of these social media outlets are presenting to our children. can we trust them? >> no, we have shown that we can't. and here is the rub, if anyone takes anything away from this, this is what they should remember. tech companies are deliberately designing their products to attract younger and younger audiences. they know whether a these do refleeced in 2021. companies and products have very, very harmful effects on young children, preteens especially. and teen girls especially and, yet, they are doubling down. after that release they're saying oh, no, we need to have instagram for children under 13. you know, it's crazy. they care about their pocketbooks and they care about public relations so that's what

we have to target if we are really going to hold these tech companies to account and that's it. the only thing they will listen to. >> steve: the key though is keeping the smart phones with the social media out of the hands of kids. somehow, you know, parents get their kids latest smart phone. they want their kids to be cool. they don't want foe mow of missing out. got to make flip phones cool. if you are going to have a phone have a flip phone because you can't get in trouble. he was very specific about that, yesterday. >> yeah. i think that's great. you have to be able to disable some of these features. and what's really interesting, too. is 41 states sued metaphor capitalizing on the vulnerabilities of children through their algorithms, through the actual features of their products. that's critical. you got a flip phone you? eliminate that kind of thing. all those arguments that oh children have to be safe. okay, fine, the flip phone does it. so i'm in full agreement with jonathan hunt, unfortunately, some of this does have to be

legislated. you have to layer again those technical and legislative solutions that will work. >> ainsley: if you counsel load one app. and your kid is on this app. like deck core rating a dog, dressing up a little dog. then more apps pop up in front of your children and they will say momma can i download this app.? we don't even have to go to the app. store to find these things. they are popping up in front of our children and looks appealing to them and want to log on. >> steve: hayden's first phone flip phone. >> ainsley: we signed the agreement wait until 8th grade a lot of the moms in our schools did that. >> steve: thank you very much. this is really important. >> i agree. >> steve: have a good weekend. >> ainsley: media calling out officers for firing at a suspect in chicago almost 100 times. failing to mention that the suspect fired first. >> steve: more from brand new body cam video coming up on this friday "fox & friends." ♪

shot. >> absolutely. you know real life doesn't happen in slow motion. and it's easy to monday morning quarterback, which is actually what is happening now throughout all the media outlets. you have a guy who is driving around in a car wearing a mask with a loaded handgun. he was arrested in july of last year with that -- with a handgun and he had court two weeks before this incident. so, you know what happened here he didn't want to go to jail because he had a gun in the car. the whole incident happens within 90 seconds. 90 seconds, that's fast. multiple officers involved. so it's not like it's just one object one and the officer can stop firing and listening to see if he stopped firing. he opened fire first. he fired at least 11 rounds from inside of his vehicle. he was trying to kill chicago police officers and they responded. canine officers always tell them this is game time decision. the emotions are real. got to be ready if you got to

firing. one officer already been shot. they are returning fire. then you see tries to drive and hit the car in front of him some of the know the threat has not been neutralized. >> lawrence: you are exactly right, john. it's a complicated situation it? >> is. >> lawrence: different angles there. we will be following that case. more "fox & friends" coming up. >> thank you let's get started. bill, where's your mask? i really tried sleeping with it, everybody. but i'm done struggling. now i sleep with inspire. inspire? inspire is a sleep apnea treatment that works inside my body with just the click of this button. a button? no mask? no hose? just sleep. yeah but you need the hose, you need the air, you need the whoooooosh... inspire. sleep apnea innovation. learn more, and view important safety information
