pablo escobar brought them here as part of his personal zoo. >> when he dies, he leaves the hippos here to die but they were reproducing, not like three, there were like 160 hippos in one area of colombia. >> real environmental problem. >> very, very dangerous. >> the hippos are starting to attack people. >> they are aggressive. >> hippos are unpredictable. >> if we saw one coming out here, the best strategy to hide. >> why? >> the most invasive species colombia has, they are battling them. when he died in 1993, he had four. they said oh, those will go away, they are too dangerous. nope, they multiplied. we went to colombia, and have the story. >> i saw some video of you in a boat, it's very good. >> go to fox nation, get the app. "america reports" now.
10:01 am
>> i love the rain, i don't like the flooding. >> i showed my roommate and she's like what about your car? and you could see from the window, we saw my car get totalled. >> we are getting a little worried now about the food in the refrigerator. >> there's no heat, and of course no lights, and so we are not really sure what we are going to do for dinner. >> sandra: a live look, los angeles, storm damage from a massive system hitting the west coast, life-threatening flooding in parts of california. kick off a new week, john. >> john: good to be with you, and albert was long when he sang "it never rains in california." i'm john roberts in washington. this is "america reports". official in the golden state warn the storm is far from over
10:02 am
as it makes its way now toward san diego. they are pleading with californians to stay off the roads amid record rainfall. police in northern california say one man is dead after a tree fell on him. >> sandra: and concern growing that mudslides and downed power lines could pose a threat. max gordon is live in los angeles for us. wow, what a mess some of the scenes are. you are in one of the hardest hit areas. >> we are in the laurel canyon neighborhood of los angeles, a very steep area of l.a. tucked into the hollywood hills, our second atmospheric river in a couple of days and the soil is so saturated in some cases it's giving way. you can see the landslide behind us here, mud, debris flowing down the hill. in some cases, boulders, hundreds of pounds falling down the hill creating a path of
10:03 am
destruction. you can see this home right here where the mud flowed in and you can see it pushed out that garage, pushing around cars. it's really hard to tell what was where before this mudslide came in here. you know, you see these vehicles back here that have been pushed on to this lawn. it's a very chaotic scene in a lot of ways. governor gavin newsom has declared a state of emergency in eight different countries throughout central and southern california, more than 8,000 state workers mobilized to deal with the storm and this storm has turned deadly. one man confirmed dead in yuba city, north of sacramento. and hundreds of thousands of power outages, the bay area and mendocino county, high winds toppled trees and power lines and knocked out power for thousands of folks and the rain continues to fall here in socal, not over. a lot of people wishing the rain
10:04 am
would go away. guys. >> sandra: we'll check back in with you. we have some breaking news. >> john: in addition to the rain and flooding, news from buckingham palace, that king charles iii, went in for enlarged prostate to the hospital there was discharged from the hospital, he has been diagnosed with and not saying what it is, a form of cancer. according to buckingham palace, he is undergoing treatments. will stay away from public-facing duties for a time. but the king is optimistic they'll be able to get the cancer treated and resume a full public schedule as well. we are trying to get dr. siegel up as quickly as possible to help us out with the news, not saying what it is, whether it's associated with his enlarged prostate or something else. >> sandra: just more information as you are speaking there, this was during the king's recent hospital visit as you mentioned, john, they learned of this
10:05 am
condition. he was there for the procedure for benign prostate enlargement. the palace says. a separate issue of concern was noted. a form of cancer, per the palace official statement. his majesty has commenced a schedule of regular treatments, so treatment has officially begun. the king has been advised by doctors to postpone all public-facing duties for the time being. >> john: so according to a royal source, talking to reuters, the king's cancer is not prostate cancer, so unrelated to the treatment that he had for bph in the last week. i imagine they probably did a ct scan of the area or maybe he had some other concerns, but they checked out again they are not saying what type of cancer this is, just saying that he has a form of cancer. >> sandra: the king remains wholly positive about his treatment and looks forward to
10:06 am
returning to full public duty as soon as possible. the palace also saying his majesty has chosen to share his diagnosis to prevent speculation and hope it may assist public understanding for all those around the world who are affected by cancer and throughout the period his majesty will continue to undertake state business and official paperwork as usual. that is what we know so for. >> john: and contrast that with situation with the secretary of defense, did not tell anybody about it, missed an opportunity, particularly to african american men who have a higher incidence of prostate cancer been the general population, so the prince trying to turn it into a positive thing by making the public more aware of cancer and the fabt -- fact he hopes to fully overovercome it. only that it's not say
10:07 am
associated with his prostate. >> and just reminder, the king is 75 years old. he turned 75 back in november. as far as additional information we are getting right now, this separate issue of concern, if you are just untuning in, we are learning king charles has been diagnosed with cancer. he went in with a separate issue, a procedure for benign prostate enlargement. they found something else. there was some diagnostic tests that revealed a form of cancer. we have not learned what kind of cancer just yet, but we are waiting that news from the palace. >> john: the u.k. prime minister weighing in wishing his majesty a full and speedy recovery, no doubt he will be back to full strength in no time and the whole country wishing him well. so, it may be this is a highly treatable form of cancer and there are many of those as well and as science has advanced in
10:08 am
leaps and bounds in cancer treatment, many things at one point were a death sentence are now a quick treatment with regiment of medications, sometimes surgery as well. dr. siegel is with us now. doc, do we know anything more about what this cancer may be? >> how you doing? >> john. >> yes, can you hear me? looks like he's not dialed in yet. >> sandra: something else from the statement here that perhaps can lead to some hope with this diagnosis is that the statement does read, the king is grateful to his medical team for their swift intervention and as with all cancer, of course you hope and pray that you catch it as early as possible. the statement also reads what made this possible thanks to his recent hospital procedure, so one of those things, john, a lot of times when they catch cancer early it's because they are in there for a different reason, and they discover something before it ever had any symptoms. when we get the doctor being ba up, john, i'm sure he'll be able
10:09 am
to expand on that a little further. >> john: and that was the case with ruth bader ginsburg about a decade before her death, she was in the hospital for another concern, they did a ct scan, and they discovered that she had early stage pancreatic cancer. so, unlike pancreatic cancer, typically having only 5% five-year survival rate, maybe a little better since then, she lived more than a decade with pancreatic cancer because it was caught so early. so let's hope for the king's sake he was in for this treatment and not sure what treatment he got, but various types of treatment that can be employed to deal with that, maybe a ct scan and said oh, there is something over here, and they caught it early which is why he's hoping his prognosis is very good. >> sandra: indeed. and dr. siegel is hopefully back with us. the palace says his majesty has chosen to share his diagnosis to prevent speculation and also in
10:10 am
hopes that it may assist public understanding of people affected by cancer all over the world. what do you make of what you have learned so far? >> well, i don't know what type of cancer it is. the first question is, could it be prostate and normally they would know in advance before they would do a limited prostate procedure like a green laser, you know, where they are trying to shrink the prostate, they would know before they went in that there was some kind of a prostate cancer here. i think what john was saying makes some sense, they could have done some imaging studies in advance of doing the procedure and found it somewhere else, or found it in the prostate, not that they accidentally found it during the procedure to shrink the prostate. i don't believe that that's the case. but cat scans could have found it somewhere else. you know, other things you worry about and again, i'm not saying this is what it is. in addition to prostate, you worry about colon, that's very, very common, especially in that age group. you know, there's no reason to
10:11 am
think that it couldn't be treated, especially if it's localized. we have advanced techniques right now. >> john: they are saying it's not related to the prostate, don't know if it's in the abdomen or groin area. but sort of what is the constellation of potential cancers that would be in the abdomen? you mentioned colon cancer, that's typically diagnosed with occult fecal blood test or colonoscopy. what else is in the and that could be picked up by imaging? >> if it is a cat scan that picked up and not the prostate, it could be the colon. it could have spread or sometimes a thickening of the wall of the colon would say that would be due to that. stomach cancer also you can find that way, lymphoma, find with a simple cat scan, find the
10:12 am
lymphoma. pancreatic cancer, that is also there. of course the number one cancer in the world that you see is skin cancer but we are not talking about that if it came due to an imaging study that you would investigating. i would be concerned about g.i. cancers and the possibility of something like lymphoma. >> sandra: i suppose the possibility, they went in for the enlarged prostate procedure, that they would have identified a tumor. is it possible that he would just have been experiencing no other symptoms related to what type of cancer this is? i mean, dr. siegel, it's something we are all talking about every single day, some cancers are just so evil and so wicked they just don't even show that they are there. >> many of them are not symptomatic and prostate is one of them. prostate cancer is generally not symptomatic when you first discover it, and so you could -- pancreatic also. one of the problems we have with pancreatic cancer, by the time you find it, it's already
10:13 am
spread. this is why the blood tests we are now developing, genetic-based tests, protein-based tests, are giving us a clue of cancer before they reach the point they couldn't be cured. artificial intelligence also is going to enter this arena and enable us to make these diagnoses very, very early. the same is true with lung cancer, by the way. we are diagnosing lung cancer earlier than ever before and robotic techniques to remove lung cancer so increasing survival rate. idea of increased imaging is the key here. >> john: doc, looking at this, trying to look at this in a semblance of diagnostic explanation, colon cancer is typically treated by surgery followed by chemotherapy or radiation. no indication the king is about to have surgery. does that suggest it may be a cancer with solely chemotherapy
10:14 am
or radiation, where does that take us? >> or immunotherapy. if it does not look like he's about to have surgery and it was diagnosed on an imaging study, you do wonder whether it has spread to some extent. now, an exception to that in terms of cureability would be what i said, blood borne cancer like lymphoma or hodgkins, treated by chemotherapy or immunotherapy or targeted by antibody therapy. we have entered an arena with cancer where almost all is treatable in some respects. >> sandra: just sort of looking through this statement, that's all we can go off of right now, because they did not reveal the form of cancer. his majestic chose to share the diagnosis to prevent speculation and in the hope that it might assist public understanding for all those around the world
10:15 am
affected by cancer but leave room, right, doctor, for a lot of speculation because this could be a simple form of skin cancer they found, we have no idea and the level of cancer obviously would be key as well. >> well, and it's giving us an opportunity, though, to talk about the improvements in both diagnosing and treating cancer. we are talking about it in general terms. you mention the skin cancer. that's the number one cancer of the world. eminently curable, even something like a melanoma, which spreads, we have immunotherapy approaches to it. once it spreads -- we never had that before. now it's curable. advance radiation techniques, immunotherapies we didn't have before, chemotherapies far advanced and again, minimally invasive approaches. chances are highly likely
10:16 am
whatever he has is treatable. one thing is i need the viewers to understand, it's not like they went in to do the green laser or limited prostate procedure and found cancer of the prostate. that i don't believe. i don't believe that that's how it would occur. that is something you would realize in advance. >> john: yeah, and royal sources told reuters that it's not related to the prostate, so that would mean it's either somewhere else in the abdomen or somewhere else all together. we don't know. you know, back to what you said about advance treatments for cancer, almost all of us have been touched by cancer somehow, had a family member, either had it and survived it or had the beginnings of it and was treated or as happened in our family, lost a member of our family, my brother died from lymphoma in 1981, which is eminently treatable now but back then there was not anything. but the options for the king, particularly if you are a king,
10:17 am
the best of care. prognosis as long as the cancer was caught early, maybe stage 1, early stage 2, should be very good, should they not? >> two things, john. because he's the king, he gets a hyper surveillance, whatever this is, you are going to finds it's probably a degree of surveillance that might not have commonly been done to someone else. and number two, the treatment is going to be obviously state of the art and you mentioned lymphoma. i wish that your brother had actually gotten it in 2002 when they started regularly using something called retuximob, a directed antibody treatment you add to the chemotherapy, it gives you a super response. we have gotten into the age of targeted therapies, personalized medicine, immunotherapies, genetic driven therapies, and just starting now. you add to that artificial intelligence which is going to make diagnosis even earlier than
10:18 am
before. >> sandra: obviously this is the evening hours, 6:17 p.m., a live look outside buckingham palace. the royal family has had a lot of health issues in recent weeks, dr. siegel, as we know. kate middleton went in for the abdominal surgery and she is healing from that. we knew king charles went in for his condition. this is obviously a whole new story that is developing and so soon after the death of the queen mother and we absolutely wish him well and we are still waiting on any sort of detail as to what form of cancer this is, how soon they have caught it, those will obviously all, dr. siegel, for the medical world, be the most important details about this. >> i actually am glad he's coming out like john, like you both said and being forthcoming. with kate middleton we did not get all the information, we were wondering and trying to understand why she was in the hospital for two weeks and then
10:19 am
had her prolonged rehab. most abdominal surgeries, and again, we don't know exactly what she had. most abdominal surgeries are rapid, and that's another huge advance in medicine, the laproscope and the robot make it almost all abdominal surgeries occurring in a day or two. so that was more royal privilege obscured from the public. sounds like king charles is going to tell us what he's suffering from exactly and then we can, you know, use that even further to talk about the advances. >> john: doc, hopefully in the hours ahead we'll find out exactly what it is that the king is suffering from. right now greg palkot, he's live in london. we have seen the prime minister, rishi sunak. >> a lot of attention, big news. big charles we know was treated
10:20 am
for an enlarged prostate just a short while ago, but it turns out, according to buckingham palace, while he was in the clinic being treated for that he came -- the doctors came up with a form of cancer that the king has. again, reading from the statement, it was a separate issue of concern. they commenced a regular schedule of treatment. as of today he was at sandringham, he went in for outpatient treatment in the center of london today and now at home. treated in an outpatient manner and as you have been noting, john, buckingham palace is trying to be cautious about this, reading from the statement, the king is grateful to his medical team for their swift intervention, made possible thanks to his recent
10:21 am
hospital procedure. he remains wholly positive about his treatment. looks forward to returning to public duty as soon as possible. but now for the while at least, john, they are saying, in their phrase, public-facing duties, that is duties in the public, in the public eye, which he has just about every day. he has to cut back on that, they say he is still involved in royal duties though at home. but yes, breaking in the last 20 minutes as you could imagine, all the british media here, all the british public, very concerned, very watching for details and certainly care for this beloved king, john. >> john: all right, greg. thank you. appreciate it. stand by as we learn more about this. >> sandra: we are joined now, associate editor at the daily mail. charlie, thank you for joining us. obviously looking at reaction from piers morgan calling the news shocking, as the country,
10:22 am
the world awaits news. what have you heard so far, charlie? >> something to keep in mind here, this is a devastating diagnosis for charles and equally for the royal family at a whole. they have suffered several medical issues among the most senior members and really does highlight just how slimmed down the monarchy is now. we have lost megan and harry, lost prince andrew, king charles really took steps when he ascended to the throne to cut back on the number of senior royals doing active duty but now in position where they hardly have anyone left to really get out there and take part in royal engagements. even though charles is obviously going to be focusing 100% on hi treatment, on getting better, it's also going to be a concern in his mind about how he moves forward with the monarchy in the future, knowing that there could be a situation where he might
10:23 am
not be able to go about his royal duties, kate might not be able to go about her royal duties and steps need to be taken to ensure the monarchy does not crumble should events like this unfold again in the future. >> john: so question four, john here along with sandra. is there any indication there in the u.k. over and above what we have found out so far from news reports and wire reports as to what this cancer might be related to? we understand from reuters, because a royal source told them it's not related to his recent visit from prostate treatment, it's something else. do we have any idea what this might be? >> we do not. all we know right now is that the cancer was diagnosed as a result of concerns that were raised while he was undergoing treatment for his enlarged prostate. but the palace has made very clear this is not related to his prostate and is not prostate cancer. what we do know from the
10:24 am
statement that buckingham palace issued is that they are hopeful. they are not in any way, shape or form suggesting that there is any critical diagnosis here. they are saying that charles is looking forward to returning to his duties, that he wants to get through his treatment, and i think they are doing that in order to let people know that while they might not be ready to share informations about the diagnosis, they are giving hints about the severity of it and they are going to be very keen to prevent any kind of panic among the british people, among the world media, the last thing they want, months after charles ascended to the throne is for people to think oh, goodness, we need to prepare for a new monarch. >> sandra: interesting, one of the local tv outlets there saying the king is being treated as an outpatient, royal duties unaffected for now, although he will not be appearing in person. he can still have meetings by
10:25 am
video, and no plans to appoint the counselors of state to stand in for a monarch. see what more we hear from the royal household in the coming minutes and hours. charlie, thank you very much for joining us. so john, right now obviously we are in the evening hours there, looking at buckingham palace live a few moments ago. the family has been through so much, been through a lot in the past few weeks but the king said in his statement he is hopeful with this diagnosis. >> john: yeah, and i think a good sign is the fact they are not saying the king needs to go in for surgery to treat it, meaning it will be done either as doc siegel was suggesting immunotherapy or chemotherapy, radiation, maybe a combination of 2 or 3 of all of those. which may mean they caught it early, that it may be very treatable form of cancer, and that after a cycle of treatment, whatever it is that he receives, he'll be able to get back to
10:26 am
work and he'll be just fine. don't forget, in this country every day tens of thousands of people go into the infusion center and they get a shot of chemotherapy or the radiation center and they get treatment with radiation. and so many of them survive to live a long life. let's hope that's the case here. >> sandra: at just 75, plenty of life left to live. we wish him the absolute best and more on the breaking news soon, john. >> john: back after a short break. stay with us. things can transfo. slipping out of balance into freefall.

10:30 am
>> sandra: fox news alert as we get continued reaction to the news that king charles iii has been diagnosed with cancer. our senior foreign affairs correspondent greg palkot live in london with brand-new reaction. what are you hearing now, greg. >> a lot of concern but reassuring words from buckingham palace, king charles has a form
10:31 am
of cancer, it's already being treated, right now he's back home at buckingham palace, so outpatient treatment but the words are raising a lot of attention here. a sign of how serious this is in terms of the scope of the office, and his whole family, we have learned that king charles personally has spoken with prince william, prince harry, his two sons, as well as his siblings, princess anne, prince andrew, prince edward, and all been informed about the condition. he is saying, buckingham palace is saying he is very positive about his prognosis, whatever form of cancer, which has not been described yet, whatever form of cancer it is, it is already being treated and is being swiftly handled. we have heard that he has also spoken with the prime minister, rishi sunak and rishi sunak tweeting a short time ago, wishing his majesty a full and
10:32 am
speedy recovery. i have no doubt he'll be back to full strength in no time and i know the whole country will be wishing him well. of interest, i'm sure to our viewers, is after prince harry was informed of the condition of his father, he has reported, according to a spokesperson for prince harry, to be flying back to london, to the u.k. to be by his father's side, to comfort him at this time of need. remember, we have princess kate had the abdominal surgery in the past several weeks, she is recovering at home. today it was announced prince william would be back to his full duties on wednesday, so you see the whole royal family sort of gathering around these both the king and the princess at a time of renewed attention. again, the statement coming from the buckingham palace has said
10:33 am
while he was in the clinic in the center of london, exclusive private excellent clinic and being treated for an enlarged prostate, this other condition was found. not prostate cancer, but the type of cancer not yet described, sandra. >> sandra: greg, we'll check back in with you as we get more news. thank you, john. >> john: sandra, joining us on the phone is duncan larcomb, royal family commentator. good to have you with us this afternoon as we tried to deduce what might be going on here, and if you read the tea leaves, doesn't sound like a tremendous sense of urgency. there was no indication he has to go in for any kind of surgery, which would suggest that the cancer was probably contained, potentially found early. what we are hearing from -- what we are hearing from buckingham palace, and hearing from prime minister is well wishes for a full and speedy recovery. how do you read the tea leaves?
10:34 am
>> hi, john, when you do the royal job you have to try and read tea leaves. but the small signs, yeah, as you rightfully identified, the palace had been at pains to not play this down but stop any h hysteria. anyone unfortunately diagnosed with cancer is going to go through all kinds of turmoil. but of course many cancers are different and i think it looks as though they have not rushed him in the hospital, he's not having any emergency surgery, already being treated, so the signs, you know, and obviously very bad news for king charles, the signs are quite encouraging if that's the right term to use. >> sandra: duncan, i imagine it's quite a shock to everyone there as night has fallen and buckingham palace has just made this announcement. >> yes, it has come as a big
10:35 am
shock. i mean, obviously as you talked there rightfully, it was only a few days ago really that we were learning that the princess of wales, kate, princess kate was undergoing surgery and needing quite a lot of time, up to three months of recuperation, points to something more serious than some sort of routine. so i think this is a kind of another shock on top of that. i think it's very interesting to hear that prince harry has decided to fly home. i think that that, you know, really, if anything good can come out of this, that might be it, with harry, you know, has not had the easiest relationship with his father, let's say that, underestimate it, for some time. so, you know, the family rallying around, and i think people are very shocked by this news but you know, we simply
10:36 am
don't know yet how serious the situation here. >> john: see if you can read tea leaf here, they say the king has a schedule of regular treatments during which time he has been advised by doctors to postpone public-facing duties. might be suggestive the type of treatment he is receiving is going to leave him potentially in a weakened state, maybe, you know, appearance-wise. he's not going to look as strong as he would like to for the british people. what do you make of that? >> no, that's right. of course, begs the question, has he started chemotherapy which will have a physical effect upon him, and mean that he is not able to conduct his usual business. i mean, i think on a broader point, this is a huge blow for
10:37 am
king charles. after his mother died, there was so much emphasis and careful choreography geared towards the continuity, the stability of the royal family, life goes on, the work that the royal family goes on. but let's not forget, you know. king charles is 75 years old. when -- a lot older than when most people have hung up their boots and retired. that is when his job actually started. so, any suggestion that he's perhaps not going to be well enough to do the work of king is the exact opposite of the mood music the palace would want this soon after the queen's death. >> sandra: itv news royal editor, according to him, prince harry is flying back to the u.k. to see his father, the king. the duke of sussex spoke to charles about his diagnosis, he'll be travelling to london in the coming days.
10:38 am
as we continue to learn more information, sounds like his family is going to try to be by his side as he gets through this and faces this challenge. thank you, duncan, for joining us. we appreciate it. >> my pleasure. >> sandra: we'll have more when we return. te story? i'm a photographer. and when i'm driving, i see inspiration right through my glass. so when my windshield cracked, it had to be fixed right. i scheduled with safelite autoglass. their experts replaced my windshield and recalibrated my car's advanced safety system. ♪ acoustic rock music ♪ >> woman: safelite is the one i trust. they focus on safety so i can focus on this view. >> singers: ♪ safelite repair, safelite replace. ♪ veteran homeowners. one reason monthly bills are getting harder to pay is the runaway interest rates on credit cards and car loans. credit cards can be 22% near 30% if you're late. car and truck loans- 10 to 15%.

10:43 am
to this several months ago before we had almost 200 strikes against us. i don't want to see the president get into a war and the biggest concern this is not a good president or even leadership in the military to direct us through a war. that's very concerning. i look at this and i think is this deterrence or enough retaliation to leave americans from asking why. that's the biggest problem that joe biden has had over the last several weeks, moderate, independent, and somewhat moderate democrats are looking at this going why doesn't the president do something? our troops are getting attacked almost 200 times. >> sandra: young the biden administration so far in the wake of the death of those three american soldiers has shown enough strength? i mean, does it look like iran is going to back down now? >> i think three americans died after they gave us almost 160 opportunities to come up with a plan to stop americans from dying to proxy groups that don't have any of the capabilities we have. i mean, they use the drone and
10:44 am
from what we are told, a lot left to be learned about this, they eventually used the drone we didn't even pick up. so i think the big take away from this, other than three americans are dying are first the capabilities are what they should be. if you remember, president biden sold us on the horrific withdrawal from afghanistan, based on the over the horizon, meaning groups like this in iraq and syria, groups of u.s. military contingents had the ability to keep us safe and ourselves safe without anything going on in afghanistan and almost two years later are they even capable of keeping themselves safe, much less us here at home. you can't look at this without taking into account what happened in ukraine, the spending bill on the docket in the senate, and can the president keep us safe, and that

he was forced to take action because three americans died it's not keeping us safe and not deterrence. >> sandra: john kirby on future strikes. >> what you saw on friday night was the first round. there will be additional response actions taken by the administration against the irgc and the groups they are backing. >> sandra: sort of the messaging they are putting out there, like our response is only just begun, but to your point, after 160 attacks and the death of three american soldiers, this is how we are responding. houthi officials tweet calling for escalation. we highlighted this portion that all should see. the american british aggression against yemen will not go unanswered and meet escalation with escalation. so, obviously that is a message that they are going to respond in kind if not more fiercely. general kellogg was on this morning on the fox news channel and saying it's really important to make a distinction between the types of strikes that we are seeing on the part of the united states.
10:46 am
listen. >> these were punitive strikes, not deterrent strikes. looks good on television, but not preventing the iranians or the proxies from continuing to prosecute the attack and a huge difference between those two. >> sandra: a huge difference between those two, he said. your final thought on that, joey. >> the latest round of strikes against the houthis were explained as taking away the houthis' capability to attack ships. that's not deterrence, that's defensive action. it's not proactive, not psychologically deterring your enemy from wanting to attack you, that's trying to protect yourself. and i think the americans need to understand the difference between the two. and the majority of people like myself highly critical of president biden's handling, the idea he is all about deterrence and deescalation, not getting us into a war, part of that is your ability to posture. we are not advocating for war, we are saying potentially the
10:47 am
same strikes months ago could have been a deterrence but now they are not because we have months of opportunity of our enemy to strike us almost 200 times in posture against us. it's all about how you handle it, not necessarily going into war. i don't want to go to war, i don't trust this government to take us into war. i fought eight years of a war that we inevitably lost. it's not what i want. but i don't believe you stop war by showing weakness over a long period of time and that's what we are dealing with. my hope is that president biden doesn't do too much, it does deescalate and we need a new president and regime in office that knows how to posture effectively. i don't know, maybe secure our border as well. >> sandra: always giving us his thoughts straight up. johnny joey jones. appreciate you joining us. >> john: fox news digital has confirmed prince harry will be travelling back in the next few days to buckingham palace to see his father. a source saying the duke did speak with his father about his diagnosis and will be travelling

>> thoughts are with the king and his family. that's incredibly sad news, and
10:52 am
hope that actually it's just -- that's very sad and i'm very sorry for the king and his family. >> john: the state department reacting at the briefing to news that king charles iii has been diagnosed with a form of cancer that they are not making public just yet. leading to a lot of speculation as to what might have occurred when the king was in for treatment for benign prosthetic hyperplasia in recent days. nile gardner, thanks for joining us. read the tea leaves for us, seems to be some conflicting things going on here. message from buckingham palace and 10 downing street, keep calm and carry on, the king is told not to do public-facing events.
10:53 am
his son harry is flying over to be with his father. >> certainly it's a very serious development, the announcement like this, of course, only made in exceptional circumstances. it's also, of course, i think a statement that reflects the willingness on the part of buckingham palace to be open and transparent. we simply don't know at this stage what kind of cancer the king has. but i think the seriousness of the situation has merited the highly unusual announcement and i think that certainly there's a great deal of concern right now in london with regard to the state of affairs and of course the entire british people and of course much of the world's community are rallying around king charles in the hope that he will make a swift and very full
10:54 am
recovery. but certainly i would say very serious situation. >> sandra: now does it surprise you they came forward with the diagnosis before they are able to, or before they decide to release the form of cancer? obviously, i mean, in the statement they said they are revealing it to the public to avoid speculation but not revealing the form of cancer leaves room for a lot of speculation. >> it certainly does, and it's uncertain when they are going to make the announcement with regard to the kind of cancer it is. but i think this advance notice certainly is illustration of how serious the situation is, and certainly i think buckingham palace wants to make the british public fully aware of the situation. the fact, of course, that prince harry is reportedly flying back
10:55 am
shortly to london is indication of how serious the situation is and i think we will know in the next 24 hours, 48 hours or so with regard to the exact details. >> john: so again, this is more in the tea leaf reading realm of things, but that's what we are left to do at this moment with the limited information that we have been getting from buckingham palace. the official statement from the palace said this cancer was discovered as a result of the king's recent treatment for his prostate enlargement, which would be suggested this might be a situation like we saw with ruth bader ginsburg where she went into the hospital for one concern and then when they did a ct scan they discovered she had very, very early stage pancreatic cancer and as a result they were able to treat it very effectively and she lived at least a decade with
10:56 am
pancreatic cancer, which these days it's a very rare thing. so, could it be here, nile, that we have learned the king had very early stage cancer of some type that may be highly treatable? >> it's quite possible and i think that that's certainly the hope right now in london it's a treatable form of cancer, and i think that, you know, just the fact that doctors may have caught this very early is a very, very positive sign, i think, so at the moment there is a lot of hope in london, hoping for the very best for the king. >> sandra: and as we just learned a few moments ago, harry is going to be flying from california to be by the king's side, his father after the diagnosis and announcement. we are going to take a quick break. we'll be right back. ” i didn't really piece together that dogs eat food. as soon as we brought the farmer's dog in,
