scene. that video you showed a second go of that suspect walking out of temple university hospital that was just about an hour to an hour and a half ago. we are told he was there because of the tear gas that police fired into the home last night. take a look at this video now and you will see that happen. this was shortly before midnight. that alleged suspect was being treated as a result of that tear gas. that happened shortly before midnight as i mentioned. between that tear gas and a four-person negotiating team, the alleged suspect came out of the house with his hands in the air. we have that video to show you again. now, he is being identified as maurice hill. he is identified by an attorney who was part of this four person negotiation team. this attorney told us he had worked with him in previous cases. the two had a relationship. now, let's take you to the beginning of when this happened. aroun4:30 p.m. when officers wee serving a warrant. take a listen to a very desperate dispatch call. >> listen to me, listen to me well. we have shots fired coming from the second floor.

[gunfire] >> swat asap. long guns asap. >> i mean, you can hear the desperation. you can hear hour tense and how frantic this moment was. in total, six police officers were shot. one with a graze wound to the head. two officers and three others by the way were barricaded inside the house for five hours as this alleged gunman continued to fire throughout the day. everyone eventually brought out of house unharmed five hours later. thanks to good tactical work by police. now, we do want to show you some more video of police officers saluting a fellow officer who is being taken out of the hospital as he was released and you can clearly see some of his injuries in this video. you know, a line of blue and white there for their fellow officers as i mentioned six in total were shot. i mean, this day yesterday was just so tense. it was such a horrific day for a lot of people throughout the city of philadelphia and in this area. i do want to tell you the good news this morning is

all of those police officers who weren't injured, they have been released from the hospital. as the sun is just starting to come up here in philadelphia they are waking up with their families. you guys know this could have been a much different scene. i grew up in the suburbs of philadelphia. i have covered shootings. i have covered shootings in this neighborhood north philadelphia, this section is littered with drugs, it's littered with crime. it's not necessarily the best neighborhood in philadelphia. some people walking by here just a couple hours ago as they are walking by said this is nothing new. it could have been a much different story. steve: no kidding. jillian i was reading, i think it was in the philadelphia enquirer, the gunman shot at everybody who arrived at the scene including the police commissioner in one of the swat vehicles. jillian: yeah. there were i believe a number of swat vehicles that were struck. all day yesterday you saw a lot of this unfolding because the news cameras were here. that's why we have all that video. you saw police officers in the video just ducking

behind the swat car, ducking behind the cop cars. there were multiple times throughout the day that this person was just firing rounds from inside this house. and it seemed to be he was firing at anybody who approached the house as you mentioned. now, there was one scary moment yesterday i wanted to mention in addition to obviously the 8 hours of fear that everybody felt here in philadelphia, but there are two day cares that are on this block where this happened and so there were kids in there when this was going on. steve: terrible. ainsley: jillian, the philadelphia police commissioner is speaking right now his named is richard ross. let's listen in. >> i had heard there was some type of streaming but i'm not aware of it first hand. i was asked that question late last night. i just don't have firsthand knowledge of it. >> helicopter footage to scout your location? >> i don't know. but i will tell you that that's something, you know, i know folks in your business want that info but sometimes it puts us in a

tough predicament. and yesterday was no different because you have to assume that person has available to them whether it be via phone, tv or whatever your helicopter footage. so we would ask nicely as possible that you work with us and not keep those or have those helicopters in the area streaming footage because if you can see it and put it out then the person we are concerned about is causing us a great deal of anguish and danger can see it too. i'm glad you raised that question because i actually had a former colleague of mine hit me up at the scene and was very concerned about that. you will probably be getting some information from some other folks relative to that later on today. that right now is not something i can deal with at the moment other than asking our sky copter, our helicopter to get you folks a little bit out of the area. >> i know you had seen the scene is still active because of the tear gas. are there still people not

allowed back in their homes or are they back in the area. >> we got as many people back in as possible. obviously the area is still not back to normal. so, for as much as we are able to do that i can't tell you definitively that everybody is back in their home. but i just can tell you that, you know, we will work as hard as we can to bring this to a complete resolution and i'm talk the crime scene now so that we can stabilize that neighborhood to get them back where it belongs. >> were the officers serving the warrant aware of his history of violence and did they expect him to be so heavily armed. >> i don't think so to either question because this was a narcotics incident. i don't even know for certain that they were aware of him in terms of his personal history as much as they were aware you have persons from their home selling narcotics. so, i'm not absolute about that but given the way many narcotics warrants go that is a possibility. they may have some information but sometimes if

that person is not in any way on a deed or something, they might not have had information that he lived in the house. >> what was the basis of the narcotics warrant. you talked about the violence in the city being fueled by marijuana and heroin. >> well, crack cocaine, too. this was basically as a result of some drug buys. that's what basically drove the search warrants. i wants to be clear about that and when you talk about that there is a resurgence of crack cocaine, too. there are people who as i understand it maybe using it to stabilize some of their heroin issues. for whatever the reason, there is a significant drug issue. and it's something that we're looking to deal with, obviously we are not looking to go back to the 1990s and talk about a war on drugs that was not successful. but we have got to do something, right? with these drugs, not only are people dying in the streets but it brings violence with it. that's just a fact. there is no getting around that. these are issues we have to

deal with. >> was that last officer released from the hospital? steve: we have been listening to richard ross jr. the police commissioner of philadelphia briefing the press as to what went down. the suspect has been arrested, taken into custody. joining us right now is chief rich busby from the new jersey sheriff's association. chief, six cops shot, only by the grace of god are they alive right now. >> we are incredibly grateful. i think police around the nation and frankly the citizens of all communities are incredibly grateful. at the same time we are incredibly proud of the job that the officers in philadelphia did. they exercised amazing professionalism and strength. and ultimately we were able to get this thing resolved without anyone being hurt. i went to law school in that neighborhood. it's been a challenging area for decades usmght and without the presence and continued vigilance of the philadelphia police department, i don't know if folks could actually live

there. ainsley: chief, we were all watching this yesterday afternoon. so grateful these six officers were not killed. and then we all go to sleep. we wake up to learn that there is tear gas. we see this video, the guy coming out and surrendering hours later after mid night. and we just heard the commissioner talk about crack cocaine. how big of a problem are drugs in this country. >> drugs are an increasingly large challenge for all law enforcement. we are dealing with this with what seems to be decreasing assets. methamphetamine is another issue that the commissioner didn't mention that's reared its ugly head in recent years. and, frankly, i have had to reprioritize the mission in my agency so that we're actually taking down the smaller scale drug dealers as well as larger drug dealers because it is so profoundly effects the quality of life in the neighborhoods. todd: chief, when that initial call comes, in we

heard the desperation, as jillian put it, from the voice of the officer on scene. from a tactical perspective, what approach, where variables are you considering when you approach that scene? >> well, when you heard the call for long guns, that's an indication right away that the officers on the scene know they are against serious fire power. ainsley: what does that mean? i don't know a lot about guns. >> officers typically will carry a handgun which will deal with most contingencies. when you run into a serious tactical problem way into that realm you need heavier fire power. he was calling for the teams and long guns because he knew at that moment from something he had seen that there was a big problem. steve: yeah, chief the suspect, maurice hill has been in and out of prison a lot over the last years. ainsley: he is only 36 years old. steve: illegal possession of guns, drug dealing.

aggravated assault resisting attempts for justice. he does not like to go to prism. in 2008 he was convicted of escaping, fleeing police and arrest. on the way he beat criminal charges from everything from kidnapping to attempted murder. >> well, some folks shouldn't be on the street. and i think this is an example of that. and in some cases the justice system doesn't do us well. when i say us, not only law enforcement, doesn't do the community well. this individual obviously has a problem. and they don't get better. they typically get worse and it escalates you have reached the point where we could have multiple officers dead this morning. you could have multiple folks in that neighborhood injured or lose their lives. but for the grace of god and the work of the philadelphia police department. ainsley: chief, what was your reaction to this reporter? she works for cbs. she is a local reporter. she is on the scene and she is putting this out on social media. she was harassed during a live shot. a major moment of

disappointment. crowd of people were taunting the police officers. laughing and yelling at them in the midst of the gunfire. >> yeah. that's incredibly hard to take. that's part of what i said when i said the professionalism. because you have to rise above it. they say law enforcement officers have to have a thick skin. well, that's true. but, i think this is almost beyond the pail. >> rich busby from the new jersey sheriff's association thanks for coming. >> thanks for having me on. steve: fox news alert. new questions about jeffrey epstein's death after autopsy report reportedly reveals he had multiple broken bones in his neck. ainsley: one of those broken bones commonly found in people who have been strangled. todd: griff jenkins joins us live in washington with a report and new lawsuit from one of epstein's alleged victims. good morning. >> good morning, taking

action under new york the child victim's act went into effect yesterday filing a civil suit not only against epstein but also close associates like glelane maxwell. >> it wasn't just jeffrey epstein that victimized her. there was a network as you heard her remark and her statement around and that permitted this to occur. and they are going to be held accountable. hopefully criminally. >> maxwell has not been criminally charged. aroze's story gained attention when she made this claim. >> forcefully raped me. knew exactly what he was doing. i don't think scared. this as "the washington post" offering details of epstein's autopsy finding he suffered multiple breaks in the neck bones. telling the post that would, quote: generally raise questions about

strangulation but it is not definitive and does not exclude suicidal hanging. the new york medical examiner's office is not commenting as the cause of death is pending. finally this, you see the "new york post" here on the cover of epstein's last words were: i will see you sunday, suggesting that epstein was telling his lawyer he was in good spirits on the day before his death, guys. steve: that's what it sounds like. griff, thank you very much. ainsley: thank you, griff. steve: when i will see you sunday he was telling attorney he thought he would beat that double jeopardy charge and he would be sprung the next day. ainsley: when you hear reports of that one boyd the high oid bone normally if that is broken that is not normally associated with a suicide. that's usually a homicide. there is this study in india from 2010 to 2013, they study the number of people who had died because of hangings, and they found that the high oid damage was present in 16 of 264 cases.

so it is possible but it's very rare. todd: oftentimes you rely on the autopsy to be the definitive. here's what we know. here is the answer in this situation. it just got more complex and you don't want to get hyperbolic and say we are getting into a kennedy situation here. there are a lot more questions this morning. ainsley: will we have the answer? i doubt it. steve: no final cause is listed on the autopsy. they are still looking into it. meanwhile, 6:15 in new york city. the american stock market is set to open in just about three hours and 15 minutes after losing 800 points yesterday. the worst trading day of 2019. todd: who do you ask for answers? stuart varney. opening bell and what this means for your wallet next. ♪ ♪ that a speaker is just a speaker.

ainsley: the stock market set to reopen in a few hours. wall street reeling after yesterday's sharp drop. todd: dow dropping 800 points biggest drop fears of a recession. steve: here to break it down is host of varney and company. stuart, when i was coming into work a couple hours ago.

the stock market futures were way up and now they have turned south because. >> because china is threatening and will retaliate against america for the tariffs which we will impose on september the 1st. steve: this is news that has broken in the last half hour. >> last half hour this has broke. we don't know what measures they will take but that's what they are going to do. they will retaliate. to be precise, they will take the necessary counter measures against the september 1st tariffs. it is retaliation. it's hard ball. that's what's happening now. that's why futures have reversed. ainsley: why the big drop yesterday and there is talk of resells session. >> let's start at the beginning. here's what happened. the rest of the world is slowing down. we are not. so money pours in to america and the result of that is interest rates go way, way down. however, the federal reserve is late to the game president trump calls them clueless. short-term rates are above

long term rates that is a recession signal. sorry. short-term rates are above long term rates, knock i think i have got that right. that's a recession signal. the market doesn't like it. and complicated by the chaos in hong kong and the china trade mess, that puts the dow down 800 points and we are going lower this morning because the chinese are going to retaliates for those september the 1st tariffs. todd: besides the china situation, how much can we blame other global data, italy, u.k., germany for what we saw yesterday? >> yeah. we can put some of the blame on that. germany its economy is contracting. i think who else is it? another major european country where over in britain the economy is contracting. europe is pretty close to or in recession. japan same story. very close to recession. china really slowing down. we are the standout economy in the world. we are growing at 2%. nobody else is.

ainsley: does it last? >> this recession signal that's what you want to talk about, there is a history of this being a successful forecast, in other words, when short-term rates like a two year treasury, the rate goes above long-term rates. that's the recession signal last five times that happened we did get a recession. ainsley: yesterday we are showing this show live protesters in hong kong with american flags. they did a protest this morning in english. what's that about. >> the american flag came out of the blue. we were on live. we were showing that live. and down the street come two protesters with big american flags flying them high that was the most provocative thing i have seen for a long time. that's the american flag demonstrated in the streets in front of a communist government my goodness provocative. steve: don't you think the signal is hey, united states, donald trump, have you got to get involved in this. is he reluctant to because

of the trade problems. he did tweet at the president xi yesterday. he tweeted i know president xi of china very well. is he a great leader who very much has respect of his people. is he also a good man in a tough business. i have zero doubt that if president xi wants to quickly and humanely solve the hong kong problem, he can do it. personal meeting? so he is asking to meet face to face? >> the chinese have not responded directly to that tweet and an offer of a meeting face to face. what they are doing is retaliating for the tariffs which will be imposed on september the 1st. they are playing real hard ball here. they have ignored president trump's peacemaker offer, i guess you can call it. they have ignored that no response to it. no, they are going to retaliate for the tariffs september the 1st. this trade war is really a serious business. both sides are dug in with a regard line. both sides. and our economy -- not so much about our economy but certainly our stock market has taken a hit. todd: the good news is when the fed ultimately drops

rates again maybe twice you will be able to refi. >> 10:00 this morning latest on mortgage rates, 0 year fixed rate loan the rate on it is going to tumble. i think it will be all the way down to 3 and a half percent if not lower. good news for the refi business which will really heat up and maybe good news for the overall housing market as well. todd: you said 10:00 a.m. i have catch stuart varney at 9:00 a.m. my take with stuart varney on fox nation. >> thank you one and all. good to see you. ainsley: we have exclusive video showing a fiery explosion during an attack on an ice facility. you will not see this anywhere else. retired ice director tom homan will join us. he's going to bring it to us coming up.

the country. here to discuss who got campus reform correspondent cathy dillon screen left. chapter president at bowling green state julia deroche. young america's foundation correspondent. grant stroble and fox news contributor and campus reform editor and chief lawrence jones. good morning to all of you. >> good morning. steve: cathy, let's start with you, you are at pepperdine which is where my wife went to college. a beautiful school. how would you describe the state of america's colleges today? >> i actually did my undergrad in massachusetts. pepperdine seems to be more kinder to conservatives compared to mounts holy oak. run by left wing professors, academics, people are really pushing this left otherwise ideology. the leadership institute campus reform is really great. i know there are other conservatives on campus. and we expose the liberal bias and really make it known it. >>

steve: it sounds like you feel surrounded. >> i was one of the only ones who would be open about my ideology and at pepperdine i picked it mainly because of the conservative diversity and incidentlike actual diversity. steve: julia, do you have the same problems at your school? >> for the most part. you definitely find yourself being a lone conservative at sometimes. with turning point you find a lot of friends and people who share the similar ideology as you, which can make it more comforting when you are going to debate people on campus. steve: grants, you are at the university of chicago. what's that like. >> the university of chicago fortunately values free speech. what a thought. my undergrad university of michigan, not so much. they "american sniper" and we were age to bring that back. across the country young americans freedom we see, for example, just recently at the university of kentucky administrators were blocking students from starting a chapter. and were purposefully mocking them throughout the

entire process. steve: why did they block them? >> they blocked them because they were conservatives. steve: there has got to be another reason than that. >> sadly, there isn't. if you go through the foia records, the administrators were literally mocking the sharon statement, the founding documents of young americans for freedom and view it as out motive and ininclusive. steve: lawrence you have been with this for years. nothing new to you. >> when i think about conservatives showing up at campus. these are freshman. i think about the university of texas. doxxing students. university of texas has asked the attorney general to get involved. this sever day. this is the life of a conservative. on these campuses assess pool for liberal indoctrination. we are talking about democrat socialism right now. we wonder why the national agenda being set. it's being set on the college campuses and now you see candidates doing the same. >> you are referring to the university of texas. there was a tweet out that threatened to doxx students.

it reads hey ut 23. university of texas class of 23. you want to be famous. if you join yct or turning points u.s.a. you just might be. your name. >> morgan: could end up an article like one of these. >> that's scary. >> that's threatening. they are trying to suppress your voice. this is something we see on campuses a lot. people feel like they can't speak up. happens in the classroom, too, which is probably the most problematic. steve: julia, wouldn't it be easier not to speak up? >> no. because then no one would ever have their views challenged. no one would be thinking and everybody would just be fallinfollowing a simple viewpoint. steve: grant, it's hard. >> it is hard. the number one piece of advice i always give students entering their first year at any university across the country is be proud to be conservative. stand up. because you are in the most power line position as a young person on our college campuses. no one in washington can

change the culture quite like our young people can. steve: lawrence, let me ask you this. there are families all across america about to send their kids to college. what should they be prepared for? >> they should be prepared for indoctrination and be prepared for push back. i always tell parents to go on campus reform and find out all the stories. these are the same professors. if you type the professor in on our website, you will see what you are going to experience when you get there so parents should be prepared for their kids to come out -- i'm not saying coddle them but they should stand up since they are making the paycheck to these universities. steve: you make it sound like, lawrence, for parents be prepared for your child to be indoctrinated you are suggesting folks, next time you see your kid they will be saying stuff they never heard before. >> worse fear for parents is when they come back home they will be like bernie sanders supporters. the probability of that happening is highly likely. if you are a conservative you are more likely to be silent in the classroom and

you just don't want to start any problem. steve cassie what diewsht you knew for college. >> i had no idea what i was getting myself into. i was the first in my family to go to college right after high school. i wasn't picking ideology when i picked holy oak. i wish i knew that going to the classrooms and hearing things completely insane. for parents looking at colleges make sure your kid know what is they are getting into and ready to debate. i always say i had the best education because i was constantly debating. steve: interesting stuff. great discussion today. cathy and julia, grant and lawrence, thank you very much. >> thank you. steve: good luck in school. meanwhile, there is a new push in congress you haven't heard about, and it could have a big impact on immigration laws. judge napolitano is going to break down the new proposal as you can see he is live and so are we from new york city. ♪ ain't no stopping us now ♪ we've got th groove most?

>> keep your hands up. keep your hands up. ainsley: we are back with a fox news alert. just moments ago the philadelphia police commissioner announcing the shootout suspect surrendered with a gun. todd: six police officers hurt in a nearly 8 hour standoff.

steve: "fox & friends" co-host jillian mele joins us from down the street where it all happened yesterday. jillian? jillian: that's right. good morning. we are about a block away. the scene is still very active right now. we did learn a lot of new information from that press conference that was held just about 20 minutes ago by police commissioner ross. he said the scene is still active because of that tear gas they had to use last night. i will tell you more about that in a minute. in the meantime, take a look at this video that we have of the suspect walking out of temple university hospital. at this point it was about two hours ago. that is the tear gas video you are looking at. that happened shortly before my night last night. that was ultimately what led this suspect to surrender as you guys just mentioned shortly before midnight with his hands up in the air. it was a combination of the tear gas and it was a combination of a four person negotiation team that included police that included district attorney and that included commissioner. and that included an attorney who are the

attorney describes this person as a client has had a relationship with this attorney because of previous incidents in the past. we have also learned this suspect, identified as maurice hill has a very lengthy criminal background. we are told he has been in and out of jail about a dozen times over the last several years or so. since 2002. so he does have an extensive criminal history there. this all started around 4:30 yesterday afternoon. narcotics officers were serving a search warrant. six officers were shot. one with a graze wound to the head. this is what took so long yesterday. it was about five hours when two officers and three other people innocent by standers in this whole thing were barricaded inside that house as the alleged gunman continued to fire. we are told they were on separate floors. it's kind of one of those multi-dwelling houses where you have a couple different families living in there so it's one structure but multiple homes. everyone was brought out of the house unharmed five hours later thanks to good tactical work by police. this is new information this

morning from that news conference. take a listen to what the police commissioner had to say about that time in that house. >> the gist of the conversations where they were. were they okay? and at some points letting them know what we were doing so that they would know should they hear things like breaking glass. when we had to do at different times to offer vantage points for the police officers. what was coming next. what they would hear next what we wanted them to do. we obviously had to be prepared should he run up the steps. jillian: police were in communication with those officers who were inside that house for all of those hours. but they also had to be very careful because there were three other people inside that house. i mean, this was a very tense 8 to 9 hours here in the section of north philadelphia. the good news, a sigh of relief as everybody wakes up this morning is there was no loss of life. send it back to you. ainsley: yes, unbelievable. six officers walked away unharmed -- went to the

hospital but they weren't killed. all shot at. thank you much, jillian. steve: let's bring in judge napolitano fox news judicial analyst and host of liberty file on fox nation. judge, philadelphia mayor jim kinney, a democrat, used the standoff to push for tougher gun control measures and hit state and federal politicians for not doing anything to get guns off the street. >> what happened in philadelphia which was a near tragedy, thank god nobody died. a perfect example of why background checks don't work and inadequate protection. this guy had a criminal record and he was able to hold off the police for six hours with the fire power and the ammunition. steve: convicted felon. >> of course, when you have laws that restrict guns, the law abiding people lose their right to use guns and mad men and criminals who couldn't care less about obeying the law, get their hands on guns anyway. >> just like the guy in california, remember? calling the tow truck he gets out with a gun. he shouldn't have had a gun

either. >> so our home state, new jersey, our home state has the strictest background check in the union. it's not only a federal background check, it's a state. i have been through the state background check. they know everything about you the killer in el paso and dayton would have passed the background check. the background check is not the answer. the answer is an armed and trained citizenry. ainsley: wait a minute the guy in dayton who had the kill list and rape list he would have passed it. >> yes. because that kill list and rape list does not show up on the background checks. steve: they had no idea. ainsley: because he was a minor. >> correct. the only thing would have shown up on the background check with regard to his mental aquite is whether or not he had been involuntarily institutionalized. if he went on his own it wouldn't show up. if a judge ordered him there against his will would show up. that's not necessarily dispositive. that requires a deemp

qualification. ainsley: kamala harris politicizing this event. the shooting is still going on. the gunman is still shooting at these police officers, and she goes on one of the networks and she is talking about her gun control i thought it was reckless on the part of her to race this issue on a national forum when people's lives were still at stake. it will show you how reckless people can be with respect to guns and i'm critical of both parties, the democrats want to confiscate guns from people. where is that in the constitution? where is that the constitution. republicans want people to decide and predict the future that a person might be dangerous. not has been dangerous but has been dangerous in the future. where is that the constitution? both sides are looking for quick, down and dirty, easy answers because of the temptation on the part of the government to do something when when the something that they do interferes with the personal

liberties of law abiding gun owners, they wreck the constitution. todd: it's obviously a topic for discussion we will be hearing a lot more of this. i want to switch gears for a moment. andy biggs republican congressman out of arizona wrote op-ed on friends@foxnews.com. where he says congress needs to do something about what he calls so-called rogue judges. enforcing or going up against federal immigration law. the federal immigrations law there, they disagree. people file something in the ninth circuit. they change the law for the entire nation. my question for you, judge, is that a slippery slope if we have congress telling the courts what to do because don't -- doesn't congress ultimately make the laws in the first place? judge: yes, yes. look, i understand his frustration. congress has written a law and he doesn't -- doesn't like the way it's being interpreted. congress can always change the law. but congress can't tell the courts how to interpret it. steve: no. judge: we know from a famous case called marlboro vs. madison in 1803.

for 225 years the courts have had the final say on the meaning of the law. but congress gets to write the law. the law is not going to change because we have a divided congress. biggs is in the minority in the house. they are never going to change immigration law. maybe it will change in 2020 if the makeup of the congress is different. steve: all right. judge, thank you very much. un. judge: there wasn't much to talk about today, was there? steve: can you catch his show, liberty file on fox nation. >> today, bernie kerik talking about being in the very same jail as the detainee where epstein was on liberty file. ainsley: he was our commissioner in new york. >> yes. steve: we will be walking. you wants to see, this exclusive video showing a fiery explosion during an attack on an ice facility. retired ice director tom homan brings us the

exclusive details coming up next. if your glasses aren't perfect, we'll fix them. so will we...no we won't! [ laughing ] don't get just one pair of perfect glasses. buy any pair at regular price, get one free. really. visionworks. see the difference.

carley: we're back with headlines. the crazy moment cops pull a gun on the yankees general manager.

>> put your hands out the window. turn away from us. walk backwards towards us, please. >> you look very familiar to me. >> on the new york yankees. >> i know. >> connecticut police mistaking brian cashman for a car thief. it turns out his jeep had been reported stolen, after it was found and returned to him, it was never taken off the stolen car registry. can you believe that? jay-z is defending partnership with the nfl. during a news conference with the commissioner roger goodell. the rap mogul is ready to move past kneeling and into action. >> the kneeling was not about a job. it was about injustifiable. let me bring attention to injustice. everyone is saying how are you going forward. this wasn't about him having a job. right? that became part of it. that became part of the discussion. it was kneeling to bring attention to injustice. >> deal raised some eyebrows because just 8 months ago there were reports that

jay-z was boycotting the super bowl halftime show in support of colin kaepernick. interesting. guys? >> meanwhile, this morning exclusive surveillance video from an attack we told you about a suspect stormed at washington state ice facility armed with guns and explosives. [alarm] ainsley: this as the fbi investigates what they call a brazen and violent attack on an ice facility in texas on tuesday. todd: here with more on his exclusive video and details is retired ice director and fox news tributer tom homan, thanks for being here. briefly walk us through what we are seeing in this exclusive video. >> well, that suspect attacked the tacoma facility, first of all, he had a rifle, he was shooting numerous times into the building. and then he set fire to a

vehicle and you can hear later his attempt to set fire to propane tanks. his effort to burn the building down. and what this video shows is the violence involved in these attacks on ice. if he would have been successful in burning that building down, you are talking about over 1400 lives. there were over 1300 immigrants in that facility along with employees. thank god about 39 seconds in the video you can hear them engage him and hear gunshots. thank god the tacoma pd professional and quick response prevented the loss of hundreds and hundreds of lives. hats off to them for exclusive loss. ainsley: this video really shows you how serious this is. >> and that was my -- that was my purpose. look, i wrote an op-ed yesterday since even when i was director, my family was

threatened. i had armed security around my home 24/7 because they threatened my family. it's just not against ice agents. even the people associated like this company and the companies that work with us in the detention management, their employees are being threatened. it even gets to the point where the left has pressured major banks to walk away from these companies we can't build facilities or fund these facilities. they are attacking immigration on all sides they don't understand these detention companies actually do great service to this nation because nine out of 10 of ice arrest is a criminal either has a conviction for crime or facing criminal charges. these companies help keep our communities safe. it's under attack. i have got to blame the democratic hateful rhetoric that you hear from the squad, aoc, the speaker of the house, just about everybody running for president on the democratic ticket wants to abolish ice. we are nazis, we are racists, we run creanks and they wonder why people are

emboldened to do these types of things. steve: tom, we look at this fire started by the guy with the gun and the propane tanks up in washington state at the ice center, he wrote in a manifesto i am antifa. and you know, that was all part of his greed against ice. but, aren't these contractors, aren't the men and women of ice the same people who work for ice and were contractors during the obama administration? what's the difference now. >> there is no difference. you know, in my three decades of doing this job, i have never seen our elected officials use such hateful rhetoric against the border patrol and ice. you know, they embolden these type of tachs. they are quick to condemn el paso and dayton. there is plenty of hateful rhetoric coming from the left and we hear it every day from the politicians and the media. attacking the men and women who serve this nation.

these men and women who serve ice and border patrol, these people standing on the stage, they are part of congress they enacted these laws and now they want to vilify the men and women of ice doing their jobs enforcing the laws they enacted. it has to stop. if they want to call out those on the border patrol racist and we caused what happened in el paso which is totally false, where is their anger. where -- i haven't heard one of them condemn these attacks on ice officers. the shooting in san antonio when they shot into the building missed an ice employee by inches. it's a matter of time before one of our employees or border patrol agent or families of one of our contractors is killed, murdered. and i don't hear anything from the left on that. >> a lot of lives in danger for simply doing their job. tom homan, thank you very much what do you think about that? email us at friends@foxnews.com. top story this morning, six officers shot in philadelphia. the suspect now in custody.

♪ >> keep your hands up. keep your hands up. keep your hands up. steve: 7:00 a.m. in philadelphia, a fox news alert. the police commissioner there has announced the shootout suspect surrendered overnight with a gun. ainsley: gosh. we were all glued to this yesterday. that video right after we went to bed after midnight. six police officers were hurt in an hours long standoff. todd: "fox & friends first" co-host jillian mele joins us live from down the street where that all went down with more on the breaking updates. there have been a lot so far, jillian. jillian: so many updates. that's right. a lot of new information coming out. we are about a block away from the scene where this unfolded. >> it took about 8 hours for this to finally come to an end last night. take a look at video right

now of the alleged suspect. this is -- he is being identified as maurice hill. you can see him walking out handcuffs temple university hospital. this was just a few hours ago. now, he was there because he was being treated for tear gas. police fired into the home. we have video of that as well. the moment that police fired the tear gas into that home. it was shortly before midnight. you can see it on your screen right now. so between the tear gas and a 4-person negotiation team, the alleged suspect came out of that house with his hands in the air. we want to give you some new information from police commissioner ross. listen to what he has to say on those attempts to negotiate with him. >> i have to admit i did not think that this guy was going to come out alive. it took several hours to make any reasonable contact with him. much of that ended with a bunch of unreasonable requests on his part. jillian: i mean, this ultimately comes down to really great police work.

everybody is crediting the police officers of philadelphia this morning. now, we do wants to backtrack to when this all started. it was around 4:30 p.m. yesterday afternoon. narcotics officers were serving a warrant to that house. in total, six officers were shot. one with a graze wound to the head. two officers and three other people were barricaded inside that home with the alleged shooter for hours as that man continued to fire off rounds throughout the day. now, eventually about five hours later, everyone was able to make it out of that house unharmed thanks to good tactical work by police. we are told that that home, it is one structure, but it is a multi-dwelling type home. a few different houses in there. we are told that this alleged gunman was on one floor and police and some of the other three people that were in there were on another floor. we also learned that this gunman has an extensive criminal history that includes at least a dozen arrests since he turned 18. he has been in and out of prison since 2002. now, you know, we mentioned the six officers who were injured in this.

we are so lucky to wake up this morning that none of them lost their lives in this. and if you take a look at some video of officers in blue and white shirts, they're saluting a fellow officer as he walks out of the hospital. it is a miracle, a miracle here in philadelphia that this was not much worse than it was. that's the latest here this morning. police are on scene, the fbi is on scene. the reason it's taking more time to get specific details about the house, about what's in the house and type you have weapons, is because they fired that tear gas. they need to wait for that to clear out in order to go in and actually see exactly what's in the house. see the land scach the area. so, of course, when we get that we will bring it to you. in the meantime let's bring the radio show host here in philadelphia. you know this area well, you know these streets well. we have both been here in media for a number of years. i worked at a local affiliate for 8 years. i covered shootings all across this city. i have covered police officers murdered on these streets just miles away from

here. first month on the job 2007 officer chuck cassidy was gunned down two miles away from here at dunkin' donuts. i mean, everyone survived. >> that was cassidy seven cops in a short period of time. the people that were in the building survived. the police survived. jillian: yeah, everyone survived. >> the emotion here, first of all is gratitude. second of all the skill of the officers to extract those other cops whispering to them throughout many officers and no loss of life. secondary reaction are people here in the streets going to work and et cetera last night saying they are glad the media is here. on a daily basis, they wants relief from this. jillian: yeah. >> this was horrific yesterday but kind of ordinary, too. jillian: we heard a couple minutes ago a man walking up the streep saying hey, this is happening. people are dying up the road. this is the nights section of philadelphia. it is riddled with crime and drugs. that's how it is. >> we are standing on a corner where there is a novelty at this store, a

bookstore that says we deliver to prisons. we sell to prisons in big bold letters on the outside of it is an advertisement. i don't know of any place in america that has an ad like that. i hope it doesn't. >> it's a tough morning in philadelphia, guys. faced with the reality of everything that went down. realizing the miracle of what happened here. i'm going to accepted it back in the anchors in the studio now so they can ask you a couple questions. steve: don, i have a question for you. yesterday the mayor of philadelphia jim kinney used the standoff to push for tougher gun control measures and hit state and federal politicians for not getting enough guns off the street. what do you think about that during the, you know, during the actual standoff? >> even for jim kiny, amazing that he engaged in this. and this is as low as it gets because we didn't know the status of all these cops, people are holding their breath on it. to do this is reminisce sense of what the national

democratic party was doing. this is what kenny does. this guy has a long criminal history that's coming out now around guns. around a scooter incident where police alleged he almost ran down pedestrians and yet kenny jumps into this right away in the middle of it. ainsley: what did you make of this news reporter she wrote this on twitter or one of the social media, i think it's twitter. her name is alexandria hough. she works for local cbs in your town. she said that she was there doing a live shot and she was harassed. she said a major moment of disappointment this evening was watching a crowd of people taunt police officers, laughing and yelling at them in the midst of the gunfire. >> sadly, that's the second part it. is a tale of two cities a lot of listens and others watching fox who can't say enough about the police surviving this and their skill. there are people here and sadly, ainsley, they elected a guy named larry causener the da in the city is anti-cop and somebody who so

weak on gun crimes and things of this nature the u.s. attorney's office has taken over his cases. it's a tale of two cities. ainsley: anti-cop? that's where we are now, an elected official? >> this guy, according to all news reports got over a million dollars from george soros. bills himself as the biggest defense attorney in the room now. his whole history has been the attorney for outfits like black lives matter and others. the police are searching desperately for a candidate, da candidate to run against him. when he was here yesterday, it's very tense whenever he is around police. he does not have their back. particularly in a day like this. it was a very difficult scene for them. todd: dom, we have heard throughout the last couple years about the opioid epidemic facing the entire nation. but, right after 6:00. at 6:00. we heard the police chief there in philadelphia discussing the revitalization of crack

cocaine. can you speak a little bit to that? >> i think that's relatively new. but we are hearing that we are hearing all sorts of drugs, kensington, where we are not too far from and jillian knows this area very well is really the epicenter of this. it draws this nationally, people coming here and police are having a lot of problems dealing with this. what they are talking about is to become the first city in the country to have safe injection sights or safe drug sites. this is how bad it's gotten that we are in a give-up mode on some of this stuff. even though the police are not. what is it that we wants the police to do is what a lot of people are asking. steve: all right. dom, we thank you very much for joining jillian there. >> thank you. steve: you bet. yesterday on another channel, kamala harris, who is running for president of the united states, i believe in the first hour, where a lot of facts were not known, she actually was promoting her gun plan on tv and she

has taken a lot of heat over social media for doing that also, cory booker the senator from the state of new jersey, pushed gun control as well while the standoff was still going on. watch some of this. >> when will it stop, right? part of my focus on what we need to do around smart gun safety laws is recognize that we have to have more enforcement around gun dealers. it's the failure of congress, however, the united states congress to act on passing smart gun safety laws is the issue. so, when elected, i will give the united states congress 100 days to pull their act together on this and put a bill on my desk for signature. and if they do not, i'm prepared to take executive action. >> so often the voices you hear calling for the kind of gun safety that i put in sort of my very bold plan are police officers wanting it to happen. because their lives are getting increasingly dangerous. steve: so kamala harris took a lot of heat on social media, some of the things were like quote before it's

even resolved you are politicizing the philadelphia shooter. somebody else said before the facts come out you took an opportunities to pre-judge the shooter in philadelphia. you have no clue about gun or individual. definitely not presidential. a lot of comments like that. ainsley: we need more enforcement around gun dealers, she says. the bad guys -- gun dealers that we know about. steve: ainsley, this guy was a convicted felon. there is no way he should have had a gun. ainsley: to everyone's point who comes on to talk about gun control. they say don't take the guns away from the good people. they are talking about not allowing walmart to sell guns anymore. that's where the good people go to buy their guns so they can defend themselves. the bad people are going to get their hands on guns anyway. if you take the guns away from the good people how are they going to defend themselves? todd: another issue this happened in the moments after we learned what was going on which at the end of the day was an attack on cops. dan bongino was on the ingraham angle yesterday. in those moments in an

incident like this. the focus should be on the brave men and women who are literally taking fire at that very moment. take a listen. >> in the past have the backing of your political good, strong political leadership that back the police department. i'm not talking about backing malfeasance. i'm talking about good sound law and order policing. when they know they have their back of the political leaders, they will engage in that traffic stop if they see some shady suspicious behavior and they have reason to do it. they may ask the subject to leave the car. it may result in the patdown if they have the information. you may find a gun. you may, in fact, have stopped a homicide. do you know what's happening now? a lot of those traffic stops, you get a ca guy in a car mouthing with the cops. discretionary situation. a lot of cops are walking away. it's because they know they won't be backed up by their leadership and think be the one on the hot seat being asked ridiculous questions second-guessing them in a moment of crisis, again, by political leaders who have no idea what they are talking about. steve: in so many ways it is such a hard time to be in law enforcement.

ainsley: it is, i know. i know. all right. carley has some headlines for us this morning. hey, carley. carley: hey, guys. we will kick things off here with a fox news alert. the u.s. making a last-minute control of a british oil tanker. captured in gibraltar last month on suspicion of smuggling oil to syria. it was set to be released today but the u.s. department of justice wants to extend his detention over unspecified allegations. the move will likely increase tensions with iran. also breaking right now, a plane carrying more than 200 people makes a miracle emergency landing after colliding with a flock of birds. the pilot hailed a hero after just 23 people were injured when the russian jet went down in a cornfield near moscow airport. video on social media showing survivors walking away from the crash. all but one victim has been -- has already been treated and released. israeli prime minister

relation may be less important than the words more common. it's not inconsistent with suicide. and what i hate about these leaks is. steve: autopsy leaks. >> any kind of leaks about investigations where people cherry pick where they want to put out under circumstances we know in most investigations we need to have a expensive understanding of everything and you can put too much or too little emphasis on individual facts. to me i would want to know if they they actually had video of the common areas of the jail and they could tell whether someone else was able to get in and out of cell. that to me would be at least as important a piece of evidence as what -- ainsley: what do you think happened. >> i'm going to assume it was a suicide until there is powerful evidence that there is not. that's what it looks like to me. gross incompetence here. not surprising incompetence that particular institution

has not got a great reputation even in federal circles. todd: andy, what i want to see is my -- excuse me using this phrase leading to the next segment. a john durham type investigation where everybody that is investigating is non-partial, bipartisan. i want the cleanest thing in the world to investigate this just so as americans we can feel confident and know what happened. is that realistic? >> i hope it is. you know, what's really sad is that you have to describe it that way. because it used to be implicit that that's was what these investigations were. i was very proud to be at the southern district of new york for almost 20 years. steve: right. >> i think we would have taken umbrage at the suggestion that investigations were any other way. but, you know, this is the world where we are living in. ainsley: fascinating. we want to know what happened within that jail cell. ultimately we have to remember the victims. all these women that are claiming that he sexually assaulted them at an early age when they were minors.

what happens to them? when do they get justice? >> you know, ainsley, the thing that i think we can take heart from is that attorney general barr has been very clear that this case is going on, this investigation is going on. one of the things that was notable readings the indictment is the first charge is a conspiracy charge, so that he is not the only or he was not the only person who was alleged to have been at the root of this abuse. and this is going to continue. it's going to continue in the criminal context there is going to be civil litigation. i think the victims will get justice. steve: andy, let's talk about your brand new book available everywhere right now. ball of collusion. you write in the book there was no collusion between president trump's campaign and the russians. but there was collusion between -- >> well, i think the obama administration put the law enforcement and intelligence apparatus of our government in the service of the

clinton campaign. >> so the collusion was between obama and clinton? >> yes. and it was the use of these counterintelligence towers and law enforcement processes in our political process which is never supposed to happen. steve: but it did, according to your book. >> >> well, i tried in the book to not make assertions that i couldn't back up. i think it's pretty, richly footnoted and corroborated, which is more than you can say for say the dossier. ainsley: why did you write the book? what was your inspiration? >> i started out having covered a lot of the clinton emails case and the trump-russia case. and what bothered me was the difference in the quality of justice that was afforded. i don't think any objective person can look at those two investigations and say the same quality of justice was afforded to each. but the other thing is i think i was essentially wrong about something i felt very strongly about at the beginning. i told people that there was no way they would take an

uncorroborated screed of political operation and take it to a federal court to get a surveillance warrant i told people they were crazy to think that the fbi and the justice department would ever do that. i wanted to know why was i so so spectacularly wrong? i think the answer is in every investigation, the investigators always think that their bad guys are the worst bad guys in the history of bad guys. and what you always need is the adult supervision of leadership, headquarters, whether it's at the justice department or the fbi to police the inevitable tendency people have to push the envelope. and i think what happened here, ainsley, is supervision became the investigator. and when they pushed the envelope, there was nobody there to tell them no. steve: andy, i saw the president answered a question up on capitol hill from a reporter about how high he thought this went in the obama administration and

he said i really shouldn't answer but you know what i think. how high do you think it did go? >> these were counterintelligence investigations. they are different from criminal -- criminal investigation is the vindication of the rule of law in judicial proceedings. counter intelligence investigations belong to the president. they are only done for one reason to believe and that is to gather intelligence so that the president can carry out his national security responsibilities under the constitution. so any counterintelligence investigation is the president's investigation. steve: this goes to the west wing? >> it goes to the president. that's the way it's supposed to work. if it's not working that way, then it shouldn't be a counterintelligence investigation in the first place. but here we don't have to speculate because there is plenty of indication that president obama was informed and knew what exactly what they were doing. steve: holy cow. ainsley: wow. steve: got to read this book. it's available everywhere. >> it's called ball of collusion.

the. ainsley: good morning. >> good morning, it's pleasure to be here. steve: explain how genetics or germs could impact how we look at politics. >> let's do genetics first. it sounds surprising but believe it or not, scientists got the ball rolling by looking at twin studies, identical twins separated at birth and reunited later in life usually have the same political affiliation. and we do not find that same pattern with fraternal twins who do not have the same exact d.n.a. utilizing those studies, scientists have found that genetics probably has a 40% role whether someone leans to the right or the left. apes thans is so surprising. you think you are a product of your environment. probably going to vote the way your parents do in most cases. you would think it wouldn't have anything to do with genes. why is that do you think? >> it is very surprising. but the key thing to remember is it's 40%.

so that leaves 60% for environment mental influence. there someone gene in particular that's quite fascinating that has come up in multiple studies. it's called drd-4. and it stands for dopamine receptor. for those who don't know dopamine sanur row transmitter in the brain that motivates us to obtain a reward. it makes our brain feel good, so there is two different variations in this drd-4 receptor, one of which needs a lot more dopamine in order to feel the same satisfaction and that variant is found in people who engage in thrill seeking. novelty seekers. what does that sound like? consistent with the permanent traits of a liberal. they tend to have this variation in the drd-sector. steve: that's interesting. are you suggesting with your information here that a person can essentially change their politics by

changing the bacteria or germs or gee homes in? >> good point. let's get back to the bacteria. so, very surprising phenomena is occurring in science where we are beginning to appreciate the role of the trillions of microbes that reside in our guts. you got about 3 pounds of bacteria down there. which is about the same weight as your brain. in fact, some scientists call that your second brain. they produce neurotransmitters like serotonin and so on that can influence how you feel and can influence your mood. so, those bacteria are actually drivers in a great deal of our behavior. one equipment experiment i will tell you about that emphasizes how important this is. it was done in mice. if you take intestinal bacteria from a brave mouth and put it into a shy mouth that shy mouth becomes more adventurist and more exploratory.

ainsley: really? so what's the main take away here. >> it's blind-blowing. the main take away i think -- well, we have a polarization issue in this country. half the country is on the left. half is on the right. and that leaves a gapping wound in the middle, which we need to stitch up before it gets infected. and i think what my book is trying to achieve is that we have biological bases for all of our behaviors, including our political leanings. and if we understand the forces that govern those behaviors, we are in a better position to deal with them and we are in a better position to deal with people who don't agree with us. steve: really fascinating stuff. read all about it in his book. it's called "pleased to meet me." bill sullivan from indiana university. bill, thank you very much. ainsley: thanks, bill. >> it's a pleasure to be here. thank you. steve: that's really something. moving on, exclusive and shocking video showing an explosion during an attack on an ice facility in washington state. our next guest was ice

ainsley: we are back with a fox news alert. the police commissioner announced the suspect right there surrendered with a gun. todd: six officers hurt in hours long standoff. steve: "fox & friends" co-host jillian mele has been reporting from philadelphia for years where she has worked for a number of years, she is joining us from the neighborhood where it all went down yesterday afternoon. jillian? >> that's right. good morning. this is in the north philadelphia. we are about a block away from where this happened. police are still on the scene earlier this morning fbi were on the scene. that's because they have a lot of work to do out here, still. we have learned a lot of new information as this starts to develop this morning we have learned this alleged gunman has extensive criminal history in and out of the prison over the last couple of years. extensive video we have of that alleged shooter his name is maurice hill, that's who he is identified as. is he walking out of handcuffs of temple

university hospital. this is in the very early hours this morning. now, he was there because he was being treated from the tear gas that police had to fire in to the home. we have video from when that happened right around midnight. so, you see the video there on your screen of the tear gas being fired. it was a combination of things that ultimately led to this surrender. it was that tear gas. and it was also a multi-person negotiation team that police had going on. the district attorney, the police commissioner was on this call along with the gunman and an attorney hot gunman has previously used. the gunman has been a past they knew one another. we want to give you some more information now from what police commissioner richard ross had to say, up against this whole time. we have not seen anything of this magnitude for years. we do know that we are very fortunate that no one was killed in this incident which in and of itself is remarkable.

jillian: that right there, remarkable, that nobody was killed when you think about it. this happened around 4:30 p.m. yesterday when narcotics officers were serving a warrant. six officers in total were shot. one with a graze wound to the head. two officers and three other people were barricaded inside the home with this alleged gunman for 5 hours as the gunman continued to fire off rounds outside of the house in to the street. those people that were trapped inside the house were eventually brought out unharmed. this is new information. there were reports going around all day yesterday and even this morning that this whole event was being live streamed by this alleged shooter inside the house. we have not been able to confirm that police have not been able to confirm that however, we can tell that you we have learned through the new press conference that the police commissioner gave about an hour ago he said that at some point police were made aware that this shooter actually was inside the home and face timing his girlfriend

through that that's how they were able to learn a lot about this information. he had a two day old newborn. so the police were able to actually use that information in their negotiations with him. and then as you saw it all unfolded and came to an end around midnight as that gunman did surrender. by the way his hands were in the air. as you mentioned in the intro, we did learn that he actually had a gun on him. the other thing to mention here is you know the good news of this is the six officers who were shot in this, they all sustained injuries that were not life threatening. we had video of one of the officers walking out of one of the hospitals here. you can see the fellow officers saluting him there. that's a scene that played out multiple times yesterday. guys, you know, i'm from the suburbs of philadelphia. i have covered multiple shootings in this neighborhood. i have covered officers who have been killed in this city you know what that's like when those names, those faces of those officers who die in the line of duty they stick with you why are

weighing up this morning that we don't have to have that conversation. good news in this situation is there were no lives lost here. ainsley: you are absolutely right. when we were getting the news six officers were shot yesterday. i was immediately praying for them hoping that all of them would survive based on our history of reporting the news the likelihood of that was not good i was so pleased to hear all six of them survived. when you see the video of that one officer coming out of the hospital the bullet grafersed his head will. steve: it's a miracle by the grace of god. >> it truely is a miracle. i want to tell you, guys, this part of philadelphia is crime ridden, drug ridden. there is a lot that goes on here. when you think about that and what officers deal with in this area. steve: yeah. jillian: it is 100 percent a mirng. steve: it is. jillian, thank you very much. todd: as ice officers are hit with waives of violent threats. fox news obtaining exclusive

video of we telling you about last month. check this out. storming washington ice facility armed with explosives and a rifle. [alarm] [gunfire] steve: let's brings in john torres the former ice director under president bush, barack obama, he joins us live in new york. >> a pleasure to be here. thank you. steve: it's a tough time to be in law enforcement and a tough time to be an ice agent. so many people for whatever reasons are so angry at ice who are simply doing their job. >> not only simply doing their job. they are doing it professionally and with as much compassion as i have seen in years. and what you are seeing here election cycle every couple years, every four years the rhetoric gets ratcheted up and i have never seen the rhetoric worse than it is right now.

ainsley: when you see the news reports of what's going on what's going through your mind you? think that's not at all how it is. >> not only is that not how it is you are not getting all the facts out there. especially when people complain and say ice agents are violating people's human rights or ice agents are holding people in terrible conditions. the fact is what doesn't get out there is how they have the highest of intention standards or all the different policies in place to ensure that they are being professional and compassionate. you are getting a small look at the picture. todd: how frustrating is it for the rank and file because so many of them were hired under one president, barack obama and another under president bush another president trump. they are not political. how frustrating is it for them? they are trying to do what they signed on to do not to protect a patient but to protect a nation? >> that's a really important point because all of these employees, all of the agents and officers are career

employees. they took a sworn oath to enforce the laws of the united states and carry out each administration's policies. i saw that over a number of presidents during my career. and it continues today these same people who worked for president obama's administration, some of them also worked for president bush's administration. so you see the pendulum swing regularly more enforcement, less enforcement. sometimes no enforcement and back to more enforcement. they are not the ones who should be getting vilified right now. steve: it's become -- you know, it's a political hot potato now. people are trying to make points with the ice agents we had retired ice director tom homan who i'm sure you are familiar with he was with us an hour ago showing exclusive video where this guy who attacked an ice facility up in washington state was eventually killed by police. started shooting with the rifle. he had explosive devices. here is mr. homan's observation about what's going on. >> what this video shows is the violence involved in

these attacks on ice. if he would have been successful in burning that building down, you are talking about over 1400 lives. there was over 1300 immigrants in that facility along with 100 employees. thanks god for the tacoma pd about 39 seconds in the video. can you hear them engage him and numerous gunshots. thank god the tacoma pd professionalism and quick response prevented the loss of hundreds and hundreds of lives. steve: john, it's not just the ice agents. it's their families as well. i'm sure you saw on foxnews.com this morning activist protesters said to one of the one of the works for ice we know where your children live throughout the country. have you kids in blank schools you have kids in blank locations. we know everything about you. you won't just be seeing us here. that's scary. >> it's horrific. it's disgusting. it's border wall criminal harassment. actually potentially

terroristic threats. we are not talking about peaceful protests here. we are not talking about people that organize, gather, protest in front of an ice building or protest by marching on the washington mall. they are actually resorting to violence and terroristic threats and they should be arrested for that. ainsley: all right. john, thank you so much for being here with us. >> thank you for having me. todd: thank you for your service as well. steve: indeed. ainsley: right behind is you carley and she has more headlines for us. carley: we are going to switch gears and bring you a sad story. a died after taco eating contest ball park. he started choking during the competition at the fresno grizzly's game. an autopsy is being performed today to figure out the exact cause of death. the team says they at devastated and cancelled the competitive eating competition on saturday. parents are fighting to keep a school mascot of a native american boy. in a petition critics call the caricature racist and derogatory but other parents say the elementary school says it represents history

morning and we are live on the ground next. ♪ .. it's the strongest, most advanced silverado ever.

>> 8:00 on the east coast, a fox news alert, philadelphia police commissioner announcing the shooter suspect surrendered with a gun. >> even though his hand are up he had a gun on him. 6 police officers were hurt in an hour-long standoff. >> "fox and friends first"'s cohost joins us with the latest. >> reporter: side of relief that no lives were lost during this 8 hour standoff going on a block behind me. police are on the scene, fbi on the scene earlier, a lot of work to be done.

we are told police have not been able to get into the home because they had to fired tear gas. we will get into that. and to get into the house to see the situation. this is him walking out of temple university. he is in handcuffs where he is going to be processed. this is a situation we have a man walking out of the hospital, he was in their for a couple hours because he was in the home where police fired tear gas. that moment that happened shortly before midnight where the teargas was fired, you see is coming out of the house. it was a combination of things, the teargas and multiperson negotiation team that led to the surrender of this alleged gunman. from the moment he surrendered with his hands in the air.

we learned this from the police commissioner, even though his hands are in the air he had a gun on him when he surrendered. this multiperson negotiation team, the philadelphia police commissioner and district attorney, represented this gunman, and listens with the attorney has to say about their relationship. >> the kind of relationship we had over the years, that was how we communicate with one another. i'm now hostage negotiator, those that had a certain kind of relationship. >> he is now hostage negotiator in the philadelphia police commissioner said the same thing but both were part of that

negotiation, this started at 4:31 narcotics officer serving a warrant. 6 officers were shot, one with a wound to his head, two offices and 3 other people were barricaded in the home with the alleged gunman, the gunman new that all those people were in their. there were multiple reports, in social media, on facebook, we can't confirm that. police tell us there was face time between the alleged gunman in the house and his girlfriend and the face time happens and through the face time police gathered information about the gunman that he had a 2 day old newborn. let that sink into your head, it

is truly unbelievable. this did come to a good close. nobody lost their lives, a grave wound to his head, coming out of the local hospitals in philadelphia, the bandage to his head, looked like he had an injury to his right elbow, and he's lucky to be alive to be walking out of the hospital. it is a miracle. you know it doesn't always end like this. especially in a particularly sad area of philadelphia a lot of crime, a lot of drugs, not the safest area, not the place you want to be. >> we heard 6 officers shot, your mind goes to the worst, you

pray for the best and in this situation it is a miracle. thank you very much. let's bring in darren porcher of the new york city police and lawrence jones, fox news contributor as well. maurice hill, arrested a dozen times, convicted 6 times, charges include illegal possession of drugs, drug dealing, aggravated assault, a number of people say it is another example why we need more gun laws and this is a convicted felon. this guy should not have ever had a gun. >> a clear example gun-control wasn't the issue because an unlawful citizen was in possession of a 2 to 3, something that penetrates your best as an officer. something we as cops year. we don't want to encounter, when

we consider 223, we need to wear a ceramic vest. it is very cumbersome. it is not plates, but 100 pounds. very difficult wearing something like this. why was this person on the street? we need to look at the judicial system and the parole system. this is not an individual who should have been on the street. >> what was your reaction when you heard reports about what was happening in front of the house and all the stand ups and police getting shot, a local cbs reporter says the major moment of disappointment, watching people laughing and yelling in the midst of the gunfire. >> i covered the historic -- in dallas, texas, i remember 5 officers, 3 of them were community police. i remember the cities i was

covering every day, chicago, baltimore, these are cities people are crying out for help. they want to take down the drug dealer, the criminals. this was one of them. as a result, there was national intention the needs to be drawn to these liberal states because half of people that are crying out for america to save them and the politicians the there is no action, we have to start doing something, treat people like americans and they were trying to help out. this was a raid that went bad. you had hostages, law enforcement officers were shot and the fact you still have people taunting officers after this happened shows you what type of crime they were in and got to evaluate the politician and what message are they sending out to their people?

>> how much more difficult is policing in these communities compared to 20 years ago? >> there has been a seismic shift reflective of the democratic debates, police officers being targeted, use of force in these communities. it is necessary for us to have officers in these communities and it is a trying task for a law enforcement officer but the truth is you need to adjust the times accordingly because police officers are public services. >> everybody takes a deep breath and figure out what is going on. democrats rushing to judgment. we don't know what was going on but the fact that they were so quick. everybody wants to be president right now but people getting

shot, take a deep breath and figure out what is going on. >> we know guys have been out of prison. cops are worried people are so emboldened, so little respect for police officers so the guy they are after has nothing to lose. what crazy thing might they do in this particular think? three hostages. >> a troubling situation, i executed warrants, search warrants and got separated from my team so i know what those officers were going through. i've never been separated for 5 hours, it has been 30 seconds. we go back to the community and police, we need a greater

relationship between police and community and they can interdict these things and the truth is it is an arduous process but we need to maintain the relationship because it means to be fractured and we have -- >> when they are a bad apple how do we speak out? >> even when the guy surrendered, a method of surrender tells you the judgment call officers have to make on his way out. before he went out to surrender. those are split-second decisions. day care was down the street. residents in their houses, they go through that wall.

>> the mayor of philly, talking about more guns, looking at what is going on in new york, people feel this mayor does not have their back? >> i give you the classic example in new york city with bill diblasio who is using police officers as we look at eric garner's situation using police officers as his critics to get elected but is failing miserably. the american people are more astute and understand this is not the alternative. a candidate in office, back to citizens of the united states and that is what the focus is. >> he doesn't have the community back either. you see the crimes and poverty, hopelessness, corruption and all of that festering in town.

>> the mayor is the boss. >> a shameful situation but we are stronger and greater in society and hope the next election will continue to have strong leadership. >> the conditioner did not have the officers thrown at them and water was thrown at them. >> thank you so much. thank you. >> new questions about jeffrey epstein's that after an autopsy report reveals multiple broken bones in his neck. >> one of those broken bones commonly found in people who have been strangled. >> griff jenkins joins us with more on the report and a new lawsuit from one of his alleged victims. >> one of the alleged victims followed a lawsuit under new york's child victims act after speaking out about an encounter

of death. the new york post america the reporting epstein at last words to his attorney were i will see you sunday suggesting he was in good spirits. >> thank you for that live report. >> carly has headlines. carley: we start with a fox news alert, the us making a last-minute push for an iranian oil tanker seized by a british royal marine. the tanker was captured a brawl last month on suspicion of smuggling oil to syria. it was set to be released today but the department of justice wants to extend its detention over unspecified allegations. the move will increase tensions with iran. us military personnel catches fire and aborts take off. according to irish media the on the air international plane would be taxied along the runway at the shannon airport when

and just emphasized from one month to another -- demographic is still 65% families and children. making a living on the backs of vulnerable children and families. that's why we continue to talk about targeted changes to the legal framework in order to put those criminals out of business. it is imperative. >> the bad guys are exploiting the legal system. they know what the rules are. >> that is something we have been talking about for the better part of the year and while they helped also do you can just our facilities and we were overcrowded for months as we sit here from the peak of 18-19,000 people in custody we have just over 4000, less than 200 children in custody right now but the lasting change, the

way we put criminals out of business and get these children out of the hands of smugglers is to make targeted changes to the legal framework. >> i'm talking about -- something else we want to talk to you about, google, the big search engine, here is the headline. google must stand against human rights abuses. now gcp for cvp. we demand google publicly commit not to support cvp, ice, or or are with engineering research directly or indirectly until they stop engaging in human rights abuses, working with those three. who would be trading at integrity for a better froth at. we have only to look at ibm's role in helping the nazis during the holocaust to understand the role technology can play in automating mass atrocity.

rights? >> that is why i say it is unacceptable. these are the men and women of the community, neighbors, family members, the well-being of this country and all the folks in communities. >> how does it feel to be compared to a regime to 11 million people. >> disgustingly unacceptable. i will tell you, the men and women of ice and the department of homeland security every day come to work with the utmost professionalism, vigilance and dedication, on the southern border and it continues to be a crisis and they earned their respect.

for our 100 years we've been answering the questions of today to meet the energy needs of tomorrow. southern company did you know congress is working to end surprise medical billing? that's when patients are hit with medical bills they thought would be covered by insurance. the problem is big insurance companies want a one-size-fits-all approach that lets them decide what they'll pay doctors for yocare. letting insurance companies decide means it could be harder for you to see the best doctors when you need them the most. tell congress, "end surprise billing, and don't let insurance companies put profits over patients. paid for by physicians for fair coverage.

increasingly dangerous. >> you to react is dana lash. >> good morning to all. >> what did you make of democratic candidates, kamala, cory booker making this political. and this guy is still inside holding up the house. >> i was mystified why they were speaking on an event that was still ongoing, a scene that had not been secure, two officers whose lives were in peril because they were in the same building as the criminal was and they were talking about things that would have absolutely nothing to do with the situation at hand which somebody needs to tell them maybe you should hold your thoughts on pushing your agenda and politicizing this until we make sure all the officers family members have

been contacted first before you start standing on their backs using this as a way to push a policy that would have no impact on the situation. the individual in question is a repeat offender, we know this from city after city after city after city, public information, you can see these are the individuals that are the number one drivers of violent crime. this individual has six previous felony gun charges on him and has been murder charges and all kinds of stuff. he was well-known to the system, already illegal for them to have a gun into be selling drugs and using a gun in commission of a crime. >> a number of democrats including the mayor of philadelphia calling for new gun laws but what gun law would have kept him from having a gun? >> that is the million-dollar question was are remote making something illegalare? are they passing to make something more criminal than it already is cute you is is what these normal individuals would call loopholes, it is criminal

act, not a loophole or anything else, it is a collection. restricting the rights of the law-abiding and minimizing their efforts to defend themselves and their ability to defend themselves based on what criminals do, that is in the answer. i think philadelphia, not just philadelphia but cities like my hometown of st. louis and other cities elsewhere that are struggling with the same problem need to look at why these repeat offenders, why the recidivism rate is so high and who are the judges that are sentencing these repeat offenders? it was the pd, the superintendent of chicago pd who said repeat offenders are driving 80% of the city's crime rate. that is part of it right now. >> texas taking on the fight against domestic terrorism. we have heard that phrase a lot. they have a new task force. do you think that is a good idea based on what you know about the task force? things like initial assessment on the threats using various new

resources to combat this problem in el paso and places like dayton, ohio, what is your take on that? >> great question. i was reading about this task force governor abbott has put together and it includes the lieutenant governor and a number of other elected officials. i definitely think it is a great thing to do whatever possible to identify threats early on and also requires an effort from the community and people may be know something within their family that could be adjudicated intelligible and someone in her family that has an issue. one of the things i want to be careful with whenever we create taskforces like these, i think all of these individuals have the best interests of the innocent at heart. i want to make sure we are looking at these credible individuals and not going to politicize the issue and i say this because of the long history we have had of certain agencies like this doing this. i don't know if everybody

remember this but in 2007-2008 the highway patrol under governor nixon, had put out a release where they were looking at individuals who flew against and flag, people who were libertarians, tea partiers as possible genetic security threats. that is an issue we want to make sure we have oversight on. i think taskforces like these and these efforts are well-intentioned. let's make sure we have oversight and are not conflating someone's innocence free-speech with a series actual threat and i hope the governor's office gives more information about these strategies. >> no doubt domestic terrorism is an awful problem. thank you for joining us from your home state. >> 33 minutes after the top of the hour, senator rand paul is going to join us with an exclusive first interview coming up next. ♪

>> jillian joins us in the neighborhood where all went down. what is the latest to to >> i covered officer involved shootings. it is what you would expect. a lot of new information this morning about the alleged suspect. and take a look as he was taken out of temple university in handcuffs. he was -- police had to fire into the home shortly before midnight. we have video of that, when they had to fire the teargas. the teargas fire on your screen, a multiple person negotiation team, and as you mentioned

walking out of the house surrendering with his hands up. we he did have a gun somewhere on his person. when narcotics officers were serving a warrant, two officers and three other people were barricaded inside the house with this alleged gunman. firing shots multiple times throughout the hours during the day. it is really good police work. how the officers had to be quiet, they were on their cell phones. listen to what he had to say. >> letting them know, should they hear things.

what they wanted them to do. should we run up the steps kick you >> 8 or 9 hours, we did learn the gunman faced time, his girlfriend, from inside the home. he had a 2 day old nephew, that is what police used in negotiations with him and take a look at video of one of the officers, one of the 6 officers who was shot in his ordeal walking out of the hospital yesterday in philadelphia, suffered grave wounds to his head. you could see other injuries on his arm and his fellow officers saluting him. everything officer who was shot woke up this morning at home with their family having covered these stories, you know how remarkable that is. it is truly a miracle that it was not worse. >> thank you very much. >> senator rand paul recovering

after undergoing surgery after having his heart and lung removed. all these complications when he was attacked by his neighbor in 2017. >> the surgery less then two weeks ago, they join us since the first interview since the operation. rand paul and kelly paul. >> thanks for having us. let's start with you. tell us about the surgery. why did you have to have it done? >> i hope i can get this behind me but i have been getting better for a long time but i had worsening pulmonary symptoms and the x-rays and cat scan showing the damaged area of the lungs and a larger fashion. the decision was made the only way to get to the bottom of it to see what the problem was that

fix it, and a damaged part of the lungs that wasn't getting air and not getting good circulation. sometimes antibiotics don't work for that. my hope is it is secure to have that part of the lung moved. >> it is harder on the caretaker. what has it been like for you? you've been going this for a long time. >> keep hoping to put it behind us, very scary again for me to see rand developing more symptoms this summer. when the surgeon walked out and said they did a retro section, and the longer surgery we were worried about, we were grateful that he is going to be fine and able to move on from this but it has been really hard.

>> what does recovery mean? >> trying to overcome the pain initially and get my breathing back to normal. i'm an avid exerciser. i walk around life every day of the week in washington and at home. it is just a matter of overcoming beyond this and we do it for two years now. one of the disturbing things is to see there is so much hatred. thousands of people on twitter swarming to wish me that i would either died or someone would assault me again. i am perplexed this is a right-wing phenomenon but i see thousands of people on twitter, this left-wing mob wishing i were dead. who are these people? >> i know your neighbor who attacked you pleaded guilty to a federal charge of assaulting a member of congress.

federal prosecutors appealing that, one year supervised relief, 100 hours of community service. his client lost his temper over yard trimmings but your office, he was very anti-trump, did not like the president, did not like you. >> this is the narrative the left is bringing to us. everything is donald trump's fall. on the rhetoric, all violence and the whole world is donald trump's fault and yet the man who attacked me was known on the internet and social media postings were violence, talked about doing violence to the president. that is completely ignored, the media wanted to develop a narrative, an altercation or fight. there was no fight. i had my back turned, and had my

radio broken before i saw the attacker until after the attack was over. people want to make it out as a little dispute but a lot of that came from the other side trying to get a lesser sentence. they wanted to downplay what it was. in reality violence was complicated. i was very severely injured suffering from it two years later. >> we were disturbed that many in the media continue to take his lawyer's word for it when the attacker admitted in court that he hasn't spoken to randy ten years. we never had any dispute for them. i wait when i saw him occasionally in the neighborhood. we had no idea this person any animus toward us at all. >> does he still live next door? >> he sold his house. >> he was sentenced to 30 days in prison.

federal prosecutors are feeling it. is 30 days in prison enough for assaulting a member of congress? >> it is not enough or insulting anybody. it should apply, tried here locally. they are used to dealing with violent people, people often that several years in prison for this. recently a democrat staffer broke into offices in the senate and got my name or, lapse name and released it to the public and encouraged violence against us, breaking and entering and encouraging violence but didn't commit violence, got four years in prison. 30 days is what you give a shoplifting person or a very minor crime. this guy was from out of state and from the rumors on the courthouse predecided this before that. >> the case against socialism is available in october, october 15th to be exact and in

that book you say socialism begets violence. what do you mean by that? >> the case against socialism. we have nearly 50% of america's youth saying socialism might be a good thing, half of the democrat saying it. i grew up as a kid in the 70s in the left has said they are trying to a few of the fact they were embarrassed, they would never use the word, now they are gleefully and saying they are socialists. i want to check out the problems of socialism so we point out the problems in the 20th century, the genocide. and their nirvana which is sweden and scandinavia. really socialist and an example more of lower taxes and less regulation than anything else. >> we look forward to that in october. senator kelly would like to know when you are going back to work. >> i have been telling people he started to get bored so that is a good sign. he did go to a chamber of

commerce yesterday, his surgeon said he can't fly for 3 weeks but he has changed a lot of his in-state travel to driving and is coming back. i'm really excited to see him feeling so much better. >> with great marriage, but we have been around each other 24 hours a day for the last 14 days so we are both kind of looking for mixing it up a little bit. >> after three weeks you can fly again. kelly and rand paul, thank you. >> hope you feel better. good to see you. 20 oh -- 2020 democrats are not the only ones walking to iowa. we went to check the best sweets and deep-fried treats at the state fair, we will take you there live next. ♪ ♪
