island last night at 11:00 p.m. central time. it is a good, ten vehicles in this line. there is nobody in them, at the residence parked it there to get it out of the storm surge. to keep in mind, you hide from the wind, sheltered from the water. there is a truck going by and headed to the top of the bridge followed by another truck. those are actually scientists, and that is really the only folks that we saw when we were on the barrier island was other science and local police officers and firefighters. now, one of the reasons the firefighters went ahead and moved their equipment was to protect their equipment. of course, the fire station itself is elevated. you can find shelter in the bunks above the bays. but the problem is you will have all of this water around the fire trucks themselves. that is what the residents with

mandatory evacuation yesterday. they are going to be surrounded by a storm surge. now, the worst of the wins. this is making landfall as we speak. we are in the worst and the winds are ferocious. you can tell side to side, todd piro the car is shaking. so a lot of content elements right now. i'm expecting the real brunt of this to continue for the next hour. once it is safe, we will emerge from the car, but there is no way standing out on a bridge between barrier island in the mainland with winds gusting over 80 miles an hour. so we will hunker down right here. i do but you to watch the coverage on fox weather. of course, we will get back when the winds start to come down here at but we have continuous coverage happening right now. we are tracking the landfall of beryl. you can go to fox weather.ca and don't forget to download the fox weather app. we are always on.

with a spear of the storm continues to move. it is quite slow. it has uptick 12 miles miles an hour to the north, but it will continue to lumber along and still be in texas for the next 12-18 hours. let's zoom in tornado warm storm and these systems, the counterclockwise winds and low rotation and so potential for tornadoes throughout the morning south of the houston area. that will be of concern. the latest tropical storms warnings and hurricane warnings as the system moves inland toward wind speeds and costs you saw 80 miles an hour. these are wind speeds right now and wind gust of 48-50 miles per hour near the galveston area. the latest forecast track as of 5:00 a.m., we will get updates from the national hurricane center every single hour. as we go through the afternoon, it has not budged much, 65-mile per our storm and it will

eventually move north and northeast were to appear at the wind forecast as we go through the morning, this will be the worst time. people are hopefully hunker down and again, upwards of 7-foot storm surge over very low ground here. this is a big concern. storm surge is one of the biggest killers of these things. and again, if you have six to 7-foot storm surge, that is above me and that is over the top of your head appeared we will keep you up-to-date, foxweather.com as well and repos up and down the coastline peered over to you, todd. >> todd: certainly doesn't need a slow-moving hurricane. >> a big concern, used in metro area should be concerned. >> todd: thank you so much, erupting overnight left-wing supporters celebrate the victory in the french elections. the latest on the chaos unfolding right now. gavin newsom touring through the swing states with a trip to new hampshire by the does california's governor of the person state voters want to hear from? we are asking voters what they

2000. many states president trump hoping to put back in play in november here at the president of new hampshire independent voters and todd moulton new hampshire independent voter, they both joined me now. first do you new hampshire only has four electoral votes but if the map breaks a certain way, new hampshire could ultimately decide this presidential election and independent voters like you could ultimately decide where new hampshire goes. what is the independent granite state voter thinking right now? >> so, there are 51% of independent voters right now in the nation according to a recent gallup poll. they are the swing voters and what independent voters are feeling right now is that they are discouraged with the choices that the two parties offer. we have never been so discouraged with the two-party system. and so, we are looking for a candidate who is not part of a party machine who is going to be

able to work across the aisle and work with both parties and independent voters included in the process. we want someone who is not picked by the party elite. >> todd: tom, let's get to some names. i mentioned off the top, you have gavin newsom there. you can certainly expect kamala harris to make a stop here this weekend while campaigning extensively for joe biden, she only mentioned joe biden's name once. so if either of those two ends up ultimately replacing joe biden, do they excite you and have your vote? >> not at all. i don't think it takes a rocket scientist to see what's going on in the country. unfortunately, the democratic party, i feel, something like that '60s come '70s and the party is completely changed. i feel they have no relevance what the american experience is. i just think that they are

values, and i look at immigration, inflation, the debt, et cetera and i don't think they have relevance anymore based on my core value. i believe in red, white, and blue and i love this country. i want to get somebody who is going to be honest and give us some good leadership to straighten this out. because if we lose this, there was no place else to go in the world to have the lifestyle we have. why do you think everybody wants to come here? i have a feeling this is like the end of days, rome is burning and it's really sad. i hope some people step up. unfortunately, the democrats don't resonate with me. >> todd: if the independent voter shares what you said to them it doesn't seem like joe biden if he remains in the race is going to get that person's vote having lived in new hampshire for years, i know you fine folks who do not suffer fools lightly. it will be interesting to see what you do november 5th.

♪ ♪ >> todd: congress is back in session after a weeklong recess. members are returning to absolute chaos in the democrat party. the media headlines telling a story. at least nine house democrats publicly or privately called for president biden to end his campaign here at others in the party strongly backing biden at the top of the ticket but the attention is focused on

kamala harris who seems to be the top choice for many democrats to replace joe biden. new jersey congressman jeff van drew sits on house transportation and infrastructure committee once a democrat himself before returning to the republican party. the congressman joins me now, will your colleagues begin the process of replacing joe biden at the top of the ticket when they return to congress literally and a matter of hours? >> well, remember joe biden has to agree to be replaced and essentially joe biden has to agree her husband would be replaced. has the delegates, he has the boats. so we has to do this and be a part of the process. they have to make that clear that i have a theory on one way that they could do with it, and this is not cooperated up here of this is my theory come i want to make that clear. but we have been protected by the department of justice over and over again. he was on the judiciary committee as well.

he was in on the calls to burisma and in on the business calls to his son, hunter appear in and in ways that hasn't been thoroughly explored when met with oligarchs over there. and so many ways, his brother with the health organization. he is protected appeared i would not be surprised, not cooperated, but i would not be surprised if they have a discussion, we have protected you but some bad stuff has gone on. if you want to get outcome it is time to drop out of the race. they still have a problem because kamala harris is just joe biden also superior to the still open borders, high inflation, and still bad policies foreign and domestic. it is still defunding the police, demoralizing our military. the entire package of it is hers and she doesn't have the ability. and she doesn't have the focus and she is one of those few

people as vice president much less popular now than the day she walked into the office. so, they are in a corner, but don't underestimate them. they are smart, focused, they know how to win. do not high five if a republican out there. we have to work hard the last minute, the last day. >> todd: congressman kemal of those things about kamala notwithstanding, they are beging to circle the wagons this daily beast op-ed, get used to the idea president kamala harris, she opened up important dialogue at the southern border to reduce immigration flows and a leading voice for creating a plan for the day after and gaza, help to maintain support among allies with the policy. i want to get your thoughts on the last part, it is long clear to me that not only mastered her brief, but she has grown more comfortable expressing herself in her own voice, becoming a

powerful communicator and harris is a rival candidate. do you agree republican should not be so eager to get rid of joe biden because kamala harris could threaten donald trump's potential path to the white house? >> well, two parts to this i think it is good if republicans running against joe biden. that certainly helps us. by the way, the media, the left media, the legacy media, acts like this was a big surprise when we found out that joe has cognitive problems. we all knew that. if anybody was following the truth, they knew he was a loosely packed meetings, mumbling his words, didn't have focus. had really serious problems. but he was sheltered to. they protected him everywhere they could. now, they couldn't do that at a nationally televised debate. for the first time, the truth

really came out here they have no way but to act like they were shocked and had to replace the candidate. come on, she is a joke. we haven't seen anything serious from her in four years. we have the republicans who kept challenging her. she was the border czar that never went to the border. her policies for the burger, if she has any, or horrible. again, joe biden also superior they are open border and that is what they are. she doesn't have what she needs to be the president of the united states. the polling's show she is not ready and deeply unpopular. i think she may be a better adversary for the benefit of republicans, certainly not a worse one. yes, she does not fall asleep in the middle of the sentence but her sentences will be silly and went on with the sentences, punctuated by crazy maniacal laughter. >> todd: congressman from the great state of new jersey,

thank you for joining us, sir, we appreciated. back with a fox news alert minutes ago, beryl making landfall in texas as category 1 or can. filling the storms and packed with strong, heavy rain battling the state and tornado and flood watches are in effect throughout the middle coast right now. fox weather meteorologist britta merwin on the ground coastal town texas tracking the storm for us, britta, what do you know? >> good morning, todd. we have to move to a safer spot because of the storm surge. we were writing out with surf city beach fire department, forgive me. we've been on for a long time, todd appeared about the storm starting to creep into the base where the fire trucks are and sg to rise too quickly so that fire department moved they were trucks from surfside beach over the bridge into freeport to get them to higher ground. we are at the base of that

bridge, taking on 91 per hour wind gust. it is not safe for us to drive or the top of the bridge. and i will move the camera to see what we see from the front windshield. but we kept the strong wind gusts that come in and i did 1 mile per our wind gust in freeport which is the other side of the bridge and of course, we are closer to the golf here that is sending sheets of rain open over the bridge. now that we have gone through landfall, we will slowly start to ramp down. then, we will go back down into surfside, where we are dealing with a surge issue here that is why we are sheltering on the bridge together of the rising water. the forecast and why mandatory evacuation on the island, the forecast calling up to 60 wins surf storm surge. there were a handful of people that stayed behind. stay with us fox weather as we are safely able to get out, we will and we will show you what

paperwork was filed by the government and this will be a texas judge that has to sign off on this and boeing has pleaded guilty to one felony account as far as misleading the government. and then they will pay a fine, $259 million. but the lawyer for the victim's family says, this sweetheart deal fails to recognize because of boeing's conspiracy 346 people died between boeing and the doj. the deadly consequences of boeing's crime are being hidden." here is the break out of the deal for the texas judge has to sign off on. boeing has agreed in the plea deal, pled guilty to criminal fraud, they have to pay $487 million in penalties total, and then that will be over three years that they have to not only paid this fine, but they also have to improve compliance and safety programs. that is also going to be millions of dollars from the company.

but remember, this is because boeing violated an agreement that was put in place back in 2021 after these crashes. so, there is a lot of anger at boeing understandably from the family. the other side of this though is boeing has been working to fix the 737 max and particularly the m caste system at the heart of these two crashes. >> todd: if i were a family member it would be hard to say if i'm satisfied with this. when life imitates art, cheryl casone, that art is to white from the office, you know you are about to see absolutely crazy footage and we do. >> i'm not sure what to say, this is becky pringle, the president of the national education association. she goes out and gives this speech that is being called unhinged. but i will let viewers decide. watch what happens. >> we will do this work because

conversations with these can a dead spirit of michelle obama, and thin, of course, taylor swift. these are all the moderators for this blitz primary. it's gotten a little nuts. >> todd: certainly wish list but they are desperate and that desperation shows pure do not miss cheryl based on position i would assume you are hosting today for maria. we will see you tomorrow. the biden campaign says now, we will no longer feed questions to the media after radio host in philly out of a job after she asked the president questions his campaign sent to her. >> the questions were sent to me for approval. i approved of them. >> okay, so the white house sent the questions to you ahead of the interview? >> yes. i got several questions. eight of them and the four chosen are the ones that i approved. >> todd: joe concha the fox news contributor, joe, do you believe they will stop actually feeding questions to

the media, joe? if so, are they only stopping because they got caught? >> oh, targum absolutely no sho. they will continue to do this. this has been going on since the beginning of his presidency january 2021. we remember those notecards, right, telling the president exactly which reporters to call on and literally photos of them. where my remember joe biden sharing over and over again, basically the quiet part out loud he had a list of reporters to call on and would proceed to follow those instructions to a t. and we definitely remember when biden would excuse himself from the rare moment he took questions by saying, "i will get in trouble if i take more questions." this particular radio interview, joe biden said he was proud to be "the first black woman to serve with a black president." even when the questions are provided to him, he still can't do the job.

and another, by the way, radio host, now two radio host have come forward to confirm the questions had been provided to them. how many other questions were provided to them and how many followed that lead? that is the thing here. i have the feeling is the answer is "too many." this is the president of the united states who simply can't take questions about his record on inflation, economy, trade, energy independence, crime, foreign policy, immigration, go down the list. he can't defend his record because he needs to know questions provided to him and still can't answer those questions, todd here this is nuts. this cannot go on anymore, i'm sorry. >> todd: it is not just question on the note cards but new images showing president biden stafford guide him behind the scenes and rent notes telling the president how to enter and exit a room

and instructing him how to walk to a podium. look, this axios piece is but why is it coming out now after the debate when joe, uni and everybody at fox has been raising these questions for thre and a half years. some of us even longer. >> precisely, what a shock. we talked about this years ago. well as it three other outlet ignored it. this is a bad look for biden and his team when his team is desperately trying to show he is not up for the job right now, he can do it now, but can he do it through the year 2028 through the age of 96? what this president will look and sound like for four years if reelected what this simply underscores and i will leave it here, todd, his team does not trust him to do the basic things a 4-year-old can do it outside of the teleprompter. stand here, exit year, eat your vegetables. that is where we are at as a

country here and sleep tight there is your commander-in-chief literally being told where to enter and exit a room. it is a whole bowl of wrong at this point. >> todd: i wonder if he has the code for the nuclear codes? that is concerning. happy monday to you, sir. former president trump narrowing down a choice for vice president in his next campaign rally and might be a hint we plans to pick up your florida attorney general ashley moody on the screen to weigh in on the deep stakes next but first, somebody else on your screen. steve doocy has a look what is coming up on "fox & friends" good morning steve. >> 90 seconds on fox & friends and taxes on high alert expecting power outages and flooding as hurricane beryl makes landfall in minutes. we are tracking the very latest from surfside texas. also defiance or denial, president biden refusing to step aside as now four more sr. house
