jacksonville florida. carley: onesies matching the occasion some with a rainbow and some was i was in the hurricane evacuation plan. rob: cutie right there. carley: those are adorable onesies. "fox & friends" starts right now. ♪ ainsley: a category 3 now hurricane dorian could make landfall within the next few hours. steve: that's right, it's gotten stronger and south carolina's governor is issuing a stern warning to residents. >> time to get out is running out. the water, we know is going to be worse. it is the water that kills people. it is the water that is the real danger. and it is clear that we are going to have a lot of water. brian: outer bands turning roads into rivers and knocking out power to thousands. steve: that is not good as

those transformers pop. we have team coverage all morning long. meteorologist janice dean is here in the studio. she has been tracking this storm's path as you know. griff jenkins is live in folly beach, south carolina. but we start with aishah hasnie in charleston, south carolina where they are worried about the flood surge and aishah, it's already started. >> it has. people are saying time is running out. guys, time is up. we are in the thick of it. this is where it begins. it's raining down really hard on me right now and the wind gusts that keeps slamming me sometimes i lose my balance sometimes up to 40 miles per hour already. we are seeing some of those tree branches and palm leaves come shooting down on top of us. right behind me you see one of the many, many flooded streets in charleston. and i'm not even going to try to go in there to show you how deep it is. i can tell you it was ankle deep about an hour and a half ago. i'm not going to go in there now because as you can see

it's pitch black around me. there might be power lines down. power is out all around here. i'm actually be lit by my car headlights. that's how the conditions have deteriorated. we have seen transformers blow all around the bay area. the sky turns green. power is out now for over 100,000 people in this area. and the other part of it that you said, the storm surge, that is a big threat here in charleston. i'm standing about 20 feet away from the water right now. the waves have been crashing and any moment this morning now, that water is going to come in to this road and in to this neighborhood and probably flood this entire area. so we're going to get out of here before that happens. but, like i said, people have i have been talking to all day yesterday that were going to stay, they kept telling me aishah, it's going to be a category 2. we can ride it out. if it was a category 3 we would leave. guess what, it's a cat 3 now

and nobody can leave now. steve: it is too late. aishah sharks thank you very much. you said 100,000 people, customers without power there in that area. according to duke energy, they are expecting 700,000 people to lose power before it's all done. they have got units from 23 different states. ainsley: that's the problem when you try to wait out the storm and you stay and hunker down. you might be on the second floor. you might have gotten your car out. but the problem is the electricity, too. some people can be without it for a week or a week and a half. heading just south of where aishah is out of charleston, griff jenkins is live in folly beach where a lot of surfers go in south carolina. >> it's a little bit south of where she was in charleston. hey, griff, how is it looking there? >> well, the wind is really picking up here. i just lost my hat moments ago. you know, the highest recorded gust so far at the charleston international airport is 68 miles. i'm telling you we have had one probably a little bit

more than that as the outer bands come. folly island, as you know, ainsley a barrier island. a lot of vacation homes for the people down here in charleston. we are in the parking lot of the pier here trying to get a sense. you know aishah talking about storm surge. they are expecting upwards of 5 to 8 feet already with the amount of rain that's coming. 6 to 12 inches. we are seeing the streets are taking on water. not more than a few inches but it is coming. the power has been going on and off. we are watching that ocean over there when you have these high winds with the storm surge, and, of course, the flooding that's expected in theist these low lying areas, particularly a low lying barrier island like folly, it's going to be a long, long day. the tide is low. it's going to come in to high. where i'm standing, we're told is about 80 miles from the center of the eye of the storm. remember 150 miles out from the eye of the storm is tropical storm winds. hurricane winds come at about 60.

we're not sure how close we are to hurricane winds, but it certainly is picking up out here now. we have had a handful of debris coming. we have seen at least one transformer as well pop. these happen in a lot of storms like that. one thing is for sure, people evacuated here. we have yet to see a single person out in a car. we haven't seen any law enforcement out here. there was no blockage on the bridge coming over. but, as we stand here, we're going to monitor a little bit of the pier. the pier on folly beach, the fishing pier, it was damaged three years ago in conditions just like this in hurricane matthew. and it took a huge erosion in two years ago in irma. so we're going to stay here, see what's going on. but right now it's picking up guys, back to you. steve: all right you, griff, be careful looking for your hat. man o man it's dark there. brian: five minutes after the hour. what does it mean big picture. janice dean has a look at the storm as it spreads through the east coast.

janice: this is the closest brush we have had with a hurricane. hurricane 3. not much higher in terms of what we were seeing yesterday 105 a strong category 2. we are at 115. and we are anticipating this to weaken a little bit. but you can see where we are already seeing those outer bands. by the way tropical storm force winds extend almost 200 miles now from the center of the storm. hurricane force winds still at 60 miles from the center of the storm. it's wide. this storm is going to effect awesome the carols, even up towards the delmarva over the next 24 to 48 hours. here are some of the current wind gusts gusting 58 miles offshore. 67 near the center of the storm. and 85 miles south-southeast of charleston. even though charleston is not going to get a direct landfall, the they are still seeing the worst of the storm surge, the worst of the rainfall, you know, the worst of the winds right now. we have a flash flood warning in effect.

this area is so prone to flash flooding. so i'm concerned we saw a report of three inches in just an hour in the charleston area. also with these land falling hurricane are hurricanes that come close to shore and outer bands these are tornadoes warnings. threat for weak tornadoes for north and south carolina as these outer bands come on shore and can you seat strikes of lightning. so, in addition to all of the effects we are seeing from this offshore hurricane, we are going to see the potential for severe storms. there is where we come, i would say this time tomorrow. we come to the closest landfall across the outer banks of north carolina. but, remember, landfall is just the lowest pressure point, the center that comes on land, it's just a point. you are still going to feel the effects of a major hurricane for hundreds of miles along the shore. steve: indeed. speaking of that, janice, thank you very much. the navy has ordered the ships out of norfolk head tout sea for safety and at

langley air force base in virginia as well. they are moving their warplanes inland because the storm is coming. ainsley: janice, don't focus where the landfall is. charleston even though it doesn't look like on the map it's going to hit charleston north of that they're still going to feel the effects. steve: they're right now. brian: meteorologist talked about the storm and the president talked about the storm and immigration. numbers down 30 percent from july. there is still a lot needs to be done at the border, especially building the wall. paul ryan didn't give him money for it. the democratic house didn't give him money for it. so he is re-purposing funds to do it. he talked about that yesterday. >> first of all, we are using much less here than we anticipated. we thought this was going to be a direct -- originally, this was going to be a direct hit into miami and we are -- we would have been satisfied anyway. we need help at the border. the wall is being built. it's going up rapidly. i guess most of you have

been able to see we're building very large sections of wall. a big factor was we just won the big supreme court case as you know. what we wanted to do was about 500 miles that will take care of all of the areas that we wanted, including some of the marginal areas that we didn't necessarily need but we could have gotten it done. we were looking to do about a 500-mile stretch. we should have it almost complete, if not complete, by the end of next year. steve: then, of course, he was, as brian mentioned, defending his decision to reprogram $3.6 billion from the pentagon, which effectively, if you are going to take that money, it's got to come from somewhere. essentially what he is doing is defunding 127 programs. the pentagon initially did not say exactly where they were going to come from. the projects that were going to be put on hold. we do know apparently half of the programs were united states or half were overseas or out of the nation.

ainsley: most prominent campaign promise. you have to ask yourself is it more important to fund some of these military projects or more important to fund the wall? he says 500 miles are going to be built by the end of next year around the election time. there are only 2,000 or there are 2,000 miles along the border. between the united states and mexico. so that will be one fourth of the border will be covered in a wall if that is accurate. if he can put up 500 miles. brian: but it's amazing, the people that could not care less is president obama's administration starved the military year after year and watched it rot await a minute the president for the last three years as general mattis said he got 87% of his requests approved rebuilding. taking a small percentage and reprogramming in delaying projects, not canceling them. it didn't stop the sensation list headline while people are concerned about daily. trump raids elementary schools to pay for wall. mexico off the hook. he is right. the president never should have said mexico is going to pay for the wall. he says they're going to get

it in fees at border crossings. "the washington post" pentagon takes money from puerto rico, european projects to fund trump's wall. steve: i think he thought he would find a way for mexico to pay for it. nbc puerto rico was devastated by hurricane maria. it's about to lose 400 million more to trump's border wall. contains contains talking about a middle school at port campbell. 13 million in child development centers joint base andrews a warehouse in virginia. a fire station in beaufort, south carolina. steve: the programs will still be built as long as congress reprograms other money or backfills it so that. ainsley: those democrats that are complaining about it. maybe they can fund it. brian: maybe for the previous 8 years maybe they could have stood up and said i'm a little concerned about our defense department falling apart. the president now he decides he has to make a decision on spending, and he was going -- ainsley: the numbers are fascinating. you mentioned in august the

numbers are down. 51,000 arrests on our border. but just remember in the spring, a few months ago at our peak was 133,000. 133,000 arrests and in august down to 51,000. that's pretty incredible. the president, he threatened to slap those tariffs on mexico. he reached an agreement with the mexican president. he decided to deploy 25,000 of their troops down to the border. and then we expanded that remain in mexico program it. looks like it's working. steve: now we are down to 50,000. 50,000 people a month. is crazy. brian: i think we are down 30 percent. ainsley: as of last month. steve: meanwhile, i believe it was yesterday, dan crenshaw, the former navy seal who is congressman now from texas, retweeted a houston reporter's tweet about how five men tried to rob a woman. she had a gun on her and she protected herself and she is okay. one of the suspects shot.

but then he tweeted out situations like this story are why we protect the second amendment. side note with universal background checks i would not be able to let my friends borrow my handgun when they travel alone like this. we would make felons out of people just for defending themselves. ainsley: then aoc weighs in. you are a member of congress. why are you lending guns to people who are unsupervise hofd can't pass a basic background check. the people you're giving a gun to have likely abused their spouse or have a violent criminal record, and you may not know it. why on earth would you do that. brian: apparently she is tweet challenged and fact challenged. do you think so my friends are domestic abusers and criminals. is that your argument they can't pass a background check? wrong. people lend guns to friends, especially if they don't own a gun, for self-defense and hunting purposes. this is america outside of new york city where if you carry a gun in new york city right away you have violated the law. in texas it's allowed.

steve: a gun rights advocate on the left is here talking about the disconnect with fireship, ownership, and how some in the united states understand how it works. >> you have the elites essentially power hungry and they don't like the idea. there is a certain inherent self-consciousness that arise also they realize a general population of people are armed and can defend themselves and thus don't have to rely on them for their safety. then you have the other side which ask the other, i like the call the mass at the middle who are largely just ignorant on the issue. they like to talk about these things from a very emotional place because they don't have any experience with firearms or any knowledge about them, so the only thing they can go to is emotion. steve: and aoc and dan crenshaw went a couple more tweets. it was quite a tweet storm. ainsley: people in the south who do have guns they do use them for hunting and groups of individuals go out together and they hunt and

members of these hunt clubs and they share guns. they lend each other gun, they try each other's guns out it. doesn't mean they're abusing their spouse at home it. doesn't mean they are violent or have criminal records. aoc can say that she lives in new york city. that's fine. she can have her opinion. she is not educated what people are using guns for in other parts of the country. brian: i would think that's a really good point. other thing to keep in mind she might be looking at that shooter who wouldn't pass a background check in odessa but able to get it through a private sale. and that's the issue that's going to be debated in congress starting right away. because you can understand if someone, if dan crenshaw lend it to somebody. you would think a navy seal with his background. you can't give it to some lunatic that will make it look terrible. you wonder someone go around the system on a private sale and try to get that gun from a friend or a neighbor. ainsley: that's right. you can have a healthy, good discussion. they can hear both sides. you don't have to accuse someone of abusing their

wife if they borrow someone's gun. steve: will it come up in the senate. mitch mcconnell said two days ago that he will bring up whatever he feels the president will get behind and try to pass. so, we will keep you posted on that. in the meantime straight ahead, 2020 democrats going all in on climate change during a seven-hour town hall. >> we are fighting for the survival of the plan net. >> winning world war ii. perhaps even more challenging than that. >> we need a blue new deal as well. brian: our next guest says if we relied on the democrats we would be doomed. ♪ ♪ -their béarnaise sauce here is the best in town.

catastrophic. steve: well 2020 presidential candidates going all in on climate change during cnn's climate crisis town hall last night. here to react is the executive editor of climate depot.com and author of the inpoliticalliwillly incorrect g. steve: i didn't watch it. i didn't have seven hours for this. >> i watched it so you didn't have to. steve: thank you. >> highlights of this were quite simply the democratic can dads stood on the stage at cnn and literally talked about who was going to tax spend and regulate the american economy into saving the planet. i'm going to give a spoiler here bernie sanders wins. he was at over $16 trillion followed by kamala harris at about 10. and then you drop way down to elizabeth warren at 3. and then joe biden one of the biggest losers only wants to spend 1.6 trillion.

the real question why didn't bernie say 35 trillion. why don't they keep increasing the numbers. who can regulate and spend the most and owho would save the planet. after hearing this for seven hours, one thing is for certain if we actually faced a climate crisis and we had to rely on their carbon taxes and cap and trade and multitrillion we would all be doomed if we had to rely on them to save us. steve: why do you say that? >> because even former secretary of state john kerry have admitted it and the e.p.a. has admitted it. whatever the united states does would not climate let alone u.s. emissions. grand character in futility what we do. even the e.p.a. models based on the u.n. science claims would have no contact on the temperature 100 years out. what they are doing is basically saying we are going to regulate the economy. we are going to make all these increases one of my

favorites regulate and prosecute energy companies who are providing our envelope and then at the same time admitting they are going to raise energy costs well then we are going to give guaranteed incomes and redistribute wealth to the people out of it. so you will have the democrats basically on one hand regulating our economy, on the other giving the money back to who they deem necessary in a massive redistribution scheme. it's the ultimate plan for them because they get to be the master minds of our economy by regulating every aspect of it in the guise of this climate emergency which cnn used the term liberally climate emergency. steve: and here they are, mark, talking about just that. >> truth over fantasy here. >> you have countries, island countries on the other side of the world that have r. literally thinking under water. >> there is no question i'm in favor of banning fracs. >> you can get electricity from a light bulb that utilizes one tenth of the power that an old incon

desisn't a bulb uses of course of course you are going to do that. steve: how many times did hurricane dorian creeping up our east coast how many times did that come up. >> it came up more so with cnn. wolf blitzer stated that dorian was a result of man made climate change. despite it's tied three way in terms of wind speed and ninth in terms strength. there is no evidence that hurricane dorian is unprecedented in any way, yet, they are claiming that was part of it. interestingly enough, bernie sanders, in claiming the climate emergency brought up abortion. he brought up overpopulation. he brought up interesting tipping pointed repeated over and over 11 years and we go back to the 1980s, the u.n. gave a 10 year tipping point that was mentioned as some kind of fact. we had 10, 11 years to solve. this. steve: they also brought up big oil and eating cows and private jets.

it was a busy seven hours. mark, thank you for joining us live with a recap. >> no problem, steve, thank you. steve: we will tell you about a second death linked to vaping and the dangers a lot of people don't realize. he's seeing his recurring payments in control tower in the wells fargo mobile app. this is jerry canceling a few things. booyah. this is jerry appreciating the people who made this possible. oh look, there they are.

dr. pasada: we are asking a lot of questions. people in america wants to know gave up cigarettes and now using e-cigs or using vaping thc. what's the difference in all of those. >> so ecigarettes were first seen in the market 2007 and it was designed to be able to make the smokers get rid of the nicotine addiction. what happened is it has come a long way and now companies are making it so desirable for the young teenagers and even middle schoolers and high schoolers that people are going and getting these ecigarettes and using them and getting addicted to nicotine. these are kids who never used traditional smoking and, yet, they see it's cool and it is odorless. they go and they purchase.

and they use it even in the classrooms. you in the bathrooms, in the schools. it is becoming a real problem. brian: it's unbelievable in america we were getting on top of the cigarette problem. >> i know. brian: sales were down. and in comes the juule. it's impossible for schools to get on top of this. you just told us, doctor, the main problem you have that is acute is when they put cannabis products in it. >> exactly. i had two patients in mid july. and one of them was 18-year-old male. he came in with acute onset of chest pain, fever, vomiting, coughing. and in the emergency room, the x-ray showed there was both lungs pneumonia. okay. it is fine. we admit the patient. pediatric floor. start on antibiotics, within 14 hours he was fighting for his life.

he was transferred to our icu and connected to life support. we had to of course medically induced coma so he wouldn't move to take the breathing tube out and one week he was stayed on this. and we did so much testing. looking into any kind of infectious cause, farm logic, et cetera. at the end we found that the mom went to the room of the patient and found he had a fake cartridge of thc oil. they sent it and found it was found with thc and vitamin e. ainsley: when you buy this oil you don't know what's in them. >> no, you don't. especially if you buy them off the street. ainsley: street drug. brian: as you make it harder for teens to get get it

illegally additionally unregulated let alone the danger of using it. now you are having a danger of somebody else concocting it. >> exactly. ainsley: i was reading the majority of these patients are teenagers and young adults in their 20's or 30's. there is this 19-year-old in delaware at the hospital. and he told the doctors does use ecigarettes. he had a coughing fit. and now he is going to need a double lung transplant if it gets worse. he is only 19 years old. >> our 18-year-old patient almost died. so we were very lucky because when you ards. acute respiratory distress system the mortality can be as high as 70%. brian: in michigan they banned flavored ecigarettes. are you for that? >> totally. the flavors they are chemicals. and one of them is very well known acetol.

popcorn lungs. the workers in the popcorn making factories they were exposed to this and they developed a condition which is very, very dangerous. brian: we should follow michigan on this. it's a huge problem. don't let anyone tell you it's not. we should stop it in its tracks. doctor, thank you very much. >> thank you for having me. brian: hurricane dorian lashing the carolinas right now. you are looking live in charleston, south carolina. our team coverage continues on this. ainsley: is he a former gray's anatomy star his name isaiah washington the actor. he is opening up about walking away. >> conservative orson trick, libel tarren minded people, they are terrified to come out of the closet and not say anything in line with the democratic party. ainsley: charlie hurt is here to react to that and here he is walking on our steps. ♪ ♪ got a feeling

haven't been working for me. i have to give credit to this president. in the interview he mentioned that the first step act and his invitation to the white house is one of the reasons he has decided to leave the democrat party. also i want to give credit to candace owens and the work she has done through heblecket movement. the president welcomed them and we central coming up in a couple weeks ago a movement away from the idea that you have to be a democrat and have to be on the left. free thinking ideas within the american spirit. steve: charlie, you know the big news out of hollywood regarding politics the last couple of days the fact that the will and grace stars have essentially asked for a list of the trump donors for this big fund raiser is going to have anyway. ainsley: they did get a lot of blow back. >> i think it's going to backfire on them. this sort of you are not allowed to think any different than i tell you theirtheir idea of diverse

opinion elizabeth warren or kamala harris. that's their opinion of diversity in opinion in hollywood it's okay to be in the middle to say i like some things trump is doing. like some things on the left to maybe have a little more. steve: tolerance? >> not that i have to be 100 percent dogmatic democrat. ainsley: walk away did an excellent job interviewing him. here is more of washington sitting down with tyrus enough said on fox nation and his supporting the president. >> i have only become political like since i left the white house recently. [laughter] support the first step act. i'm going to support the policy other the person. impact people in my community over the years of my lifetime, i'm going to be with that. brian: that's why in my humble opinion that somebody on the left understands that the president is making progress and the way to stop it is to make him

unacceptable. make everybody realize you are supporting a racist that doesn't like black people and that is the latest r focus for them from recession to. >> that's exactly right. i believe firmly that president trump is going to over-perform in the black community. in fact, i believe that to be one of the keys to his re-election bid. you see it in the polling. i see it anecdotally on the ground. ainsley: i love that you say that we are all flawed. and he likes his policies. >> shouldn't it be about policies first and not about personality? shouldn't it be about the results you are delivering to america? lowest black unemployment. lowest black poverty rate? steve: how many friends did donald trump have in hollywood before he ran for president? >> he was the most popular individual. steve: how many does he have now? >> not too many. steve: why is that? >> because, look, unfortunately the left hates the used that there are other ideas. for them politics is more important than being decent people. they go after people if they

have differences of opinion. brian: the president's audience was very diverse and very big with the minority community. finally i don't think the president has done a good job going into the black community. you hear these enterprise zones and the progress they are making. where is the president on the ground going into these areas and say tell me your problems and i will tell you what i am doing. >> he obviously has been doing a tremendous job on the policy side. first step act. opportunity zones. steve: unemployment? >> unemployment. i think the president should be in the inner city every single week from now until the elections and sell the success he has been able to deliver this-to-their communities. unlike other republican presidents in the past, this president has been unafraid to actually go and put forth a set of policies that have improved and lowest ever black unemployment. lowest ever black poverty rate. these are things that everybody, republican or democrat should be saying i might not agree with everything the president is doing. i might not like certain things that he says. but, boy, those results speak for themself. it's inspiring and makes america a better place.

steve: who knows maybe if he did that it would be a turning point u.s.a. >> exactly right. brian: speaking of turning let's turn to carley shimkus. carley: i like that. get you caught up on headlines a suspect is shot after fighting with a deputy and grabbing her gun. some people may find this video disturbing.

jason chaffetz says it's the wrong move. this is so terribly tone deaf. scathing reports. he accomplished something mr. mccabe did that almost no other federal employee did and that is he got fired. he was less than candid when being interviewed by federal investigators it doesn't get any worse than that. >> mccabe was fired last year. he is suing the justice department. a high school is doing away with zeros even if students don't do work. the new policy, the new no zero policy just introduced to teachers at winston churchill high school in maryland. a source providing the material from the presentation to our fox affiliates in washington, d.c. some teachers say it sends it wrong message to students spokesperson says they weren't aware of the policy and it's now under investigation. those are your headlines. you don't got to do work and don't get a zero.

brian: just because you don't get a zero. get a 5. steve: can you get an f? is it all numbers or letters? carley: if you don't do your homework, why would you get any credit? that's crazy. steve: meanwhile, california congressman devin nunes suing the firm behind that anti-trump dossier for nearly $10 million. accusing them of obstructing the russia probe. brian: does he have a case? i woke up the judge this morning and made him come in. good morning, judge.

♪ steve: california congressman devin nunes has filed a nearly $10 million lawsuit against fusion gps and founder glenn simpson among others. rains rains ranking member accusing the 23eur78 behind the anti-trump steele dossier of racketeering and interfering with the russia probe. >> now what we know is there a link between those doing the smearing at fusion gps. when we were investigating fusion gps. they were actively involved

in working to smear me to obstruct justice, to derail our investigation. and so, you know, i'm going to hold these guys accountable and this is just one of many steps that we continue to take. brian: here to react is fox news senior judicial analyst and host of liberty file on fox nation the same guy. he is back with us. judge andrew napolitano. >> good morning. brian: we gave you the case and you looked at the complaint. what do you think. >> you gave me the case at 4:30 this morning and i devoured the complaint. brian: i got your voice mail but then you finally picked up. >> god love you. it's a very difficult case to prove. most of the allegations in here we all know are true. we know what fusion gps did. we know that bob mueller didn't even know what the report was when they asked him about it. the question is did it create a cause of action for which congressman nunes can seek relief? brian: yes. >> thank you, counselor. the essence of his complaint is as a result of all of, this as a result of everything g.p.s. did. as a result of simpson lying

under oath according to congressman nunes. simpson has not been charged with that there were ethics complaints filed against congressman nunes. because of that he had to spend money to defend himself and couldn't do his job as a ranking member of the intelligence committee. ethics complaints are privileged. you can't sue the people who file ethics complaints against you. and the ethics complaints are encouraged by the ethics rules to keep members of congress on the straight and narrow. bottom line, though most of the facts in this allegation are well-known and not disputed. ainsley: he says he found a link. what what do you think that link. >> is he a public figure. in order for the public figure to sue and say my reputation has been harmed the bar is very high. he would have to prove what fusion gps said about him was false and reckless whether they thought it was

false. steve: judge, i think there are a lot of republican republin congress frustrated that the whole russia thing isn't going anywhere, nobody is going to be held accountable. 9/11 nunes among others is trying to do something by himself and sue them. >> sometimes when litigations like this occur, the information that comes out of it is actionable and usable by the doj. brian: let's switch gears. >> epstein. ainsley: let's go to epstein. a federal judge could unseal these troves of documents. how many documents are there? >> she already unsealed the day before epstein killed himself 2,000 pages of documents. turns out there is another 10,000 pages that the appellate court has ordered her to review every single one of them and decide what should be revealed. and the law is the presumption is that the documents are public. so if somebody doesn't want them revealed, they have to demonstrate to her why. this was supposed to happen yesterday. steve: john doe said please don't do it or i'm going to be ruined.

>> guess what she is going to reveal two weeks from yesterday all 10,000 pages. brian: like the who is who of this world. >> apparently it is. one of the lawyers in this the case who has seen the 10,000 pages said if it's revealed it will be life-changing for the names of people who will come out. apparently there is a, quote, little black book in epstein's in these documents. ainsley: uh-oh. people shaking in their boots. >>ly get to review those 10,000 pages? ainsley: do you want to. brian: it's going to be crazy. >> all the best, guys. steve: our lead story once again hurricane dorian is lashing the carolinas right now. you are looking live in charleston, south carolina. and as you can see, it is starting to storm surge there. live team coverage coming up next. ♪ ♪ introducing the first of its kind lexus ux and ux f sport.

brian: category 3 hurricane dorian could make landfall in the carolinas within hours. ainsley: thousands of people are waking up this morning without any power. steve: there goes the electricity in that neighborhood. we have live team coverage this morning janice dean the meteorologist here tracking the storm's path. aishah has any live in charleston. todd piro is live in wilmington, north carolina. we start in south carolina whereas you can see it's there, griff. griff: it is here, steve. the conditions are getting a little worse out here as those bands keep coming. i want to show you the problem they are dealing with right now. not only in charleston but here on folly beach, the barrier island where we are. we are definitely feeling those hurricane or tropical

storm tide winds. the high winds are causing downed power lines. go to the north end of folly beach. as you can see as light is coming up. you have poles all along the island. this is ashley avenue runs perpendicular to the ocean, and have you downed power lines here. this one being low hng haing. that one on the road right there. not every line is a power line. but whether it's telephone, cable, or power, it is a threat to driving around. we talked to the people in the emergency operation center. they said they are getting reports of downed power lines as well in charleston proper along with trees. we have seen unbelievable amounts of debris, large branches. we have seen pooling of water as much as a foot deep. remember, we are expecting 6 to 12 inches of rain alone. but we are only a few hundred yards from the storm surge 5 to 8 feet that may come out of the atlantic very large waves out in sea being made by hurricane dorian. and as we are about 75 miles

from the center of the eye of the storm, imagine the outer bands of the right front bands of those winds must be within 25 or 30 miles of us. that's going to create a series of problems. it's so dark here but can you just see for miles of this island you can see the power lines in the way. fortunately we have not seen anybody out here yet. it looks like most people evacuated or they stayed inside. we have seen some lights. looks like power is out in certain parts and not in others. we will continue to monitor the situation. but it's definitely getting more of the deteriorating situation here this morning, guys. steve: it looks like it. all right, griff, thank you very much. and of course the officials in south carolina have been urging people to evacuate. and is he on a barrier island where it looks like people got out. according to the authorities in south carolina, the number of people who actually did evacuate is incredibly low, which is a problem. ainsley: because, my friends in charleston many of them decided to stay because they

saw it downgrade to a category 2. they thought this is not anything new if you live in charleston. there is unc, the medical university there at lot of people in the hospital there. i'm wondering what they did if they are relying on generators or if they evacuated. brian: janice dean knows it went up to a cat 3, right, janice? janice: it did. it was always within the cone a category 3 until yesterday when it weakened slightly. so, i think, you know, in that situation you have to know what your surroundings are like if you are dealing with 105 mile-per-hour sustained winds or 150 mile-per-hour sustained winds. that's still a formidable storm. we were always saying 5 to 7-foot storm surge. some areas 8-foot storm surge. the results of the storm have not changed just the category, which at this point, whether it's a 2 or 3 doesn't matter. we are still going to get the same results. we are seeing on shore flow with these outer bands. tropical storm force winds by the way extended out

200 miles from the center of the storm. so results of this storm widespread and threat for not only storm surge, heavy rain fall. lightning but we have tornado warned storms as well. several tornadoes warnings for parts of north carolina. all of these effects we were anticipating whether it was a category 2 or category 3. flood advisories in effect. flash flooding is occurring in charleston. it doesn't take much for this area to flood. we have flood advisories and flood warnings. flash flood warnings for myrtle beach and there is one of the reliable forecast models. very close brush here to myrtle beach and wilmington. all of these very vulnerable beach areas. we think the closest we come to a landfall would be close to the outer banks. this would be some time tomorrow morning during "fox & friends." so we'll certainly watch that but, remember, landfall is just a points. the results of this storm are going to be widespread up and down the coast for hundreds of miles. back to you. steve: janice, real quick, just a quick question.

any idea when high tide is right along there? with the storm surge and the high tide -- ainsley: i know they had one earlier this morning. i heard aishah talking about it. they will have another one it. depends on where you live and how vulnerable you are with the high tide and the worst of the storm surge that could cause major problems. steve: all right, j.d., thank you very much. ainsley: thanks, janice. brian: five minutes after the top of the hour. i know you missed it. there was a seven hour marathon on another channel about climate change. it was a bunch of candidates trying to out extreme each other talking about how desperate the situation was and building off the hurricane that we are witnessing that has always been support of the conversation. here's a look at what you definitely missed. >> god is watching as poison is being belched into the air of creation. and people are being harmed by it. countries are at risk of a vanishing in low lying areas. i wonder what god thinks of

that i bet he thinks it's messed up. this is on par with winning world war ii. even more challenging than that one of the reasons i love the frame of guilty green new deal it uses some of the language that we might associate with the way we met the response of nazi germany in world war ii. we should be leading the world to a global energy transition and you have a president who thinks it's not real. that is idiotic. >> do you ban plastic straws? >> i think we should, yeah. i mean, look, i'm going to be honest, it doesn't out of a paper straw. if you don't gloip it down immediately and then the little thing catches it and then, you know, so we have to perfect that one a little bit more. [laughter] steve: after she said that then the trump campaign put out get the trump straw because it works out great. the president also was tweaking via tweets what was going over on cnn. he put out a 10 point tweet.

number one he said which is kind of a q and a. which country has the largest carbon emission reduction? america? who has dumped the most carbon into the air, the china. the president writes. number 3, 91% of the world's population are exposed to air pollution above the world's health organization suggested level none are in the u.s.a. ainsley: what's the price breakdown of the 2020 candidates of climate proposals? most expensive climate proposal is bernie sanders comes in at number one with $16.3 trillion. kamala harris is after him at 10 trillion and julian castro coming in at third at 10 trillion. andrew yang is giving everyone $1,000 a month and he is giving the climate reduction team $4.87 trillion. cory booker, he is going for baby bonds and going for $3 trillion. elizabeth warren just $2 trillion, so she is the budgeter. mayor pete 2 trillion, and joe biden said what are we talking about again and said oh, yeah, make it 1.7.

beto o'rourke 1.5. then he is going to take all your guns in a mandatory buy back program but i digress and amy klobuchar yes she is still in the race, $1 trillion. steve: i'm being told the president only sent out 8 tweets regarding that meanwhile marc morano executive of climate depot.com if things really got dire and we did something based on the plans from the democrats that he heard last night and this is his expertise, he says the planet would be doomed. watch. >> the democratic candidates stood on a stage at cnn last night and literally talked about who was going to tax, spend, and regulate the american economy into saving the planet. after hearing this for seven hours, one thing is for certain, if we actually faced a climate crisis and we had to rely on their carbon taxes and cap and trade and multitrillion, we would all be doomed if we had to rely on them to save us. brian: we don't. they say the world is going

to end in 12 years and countdown clock where r. we going to put it on the corner counting down the clock end of the planet. steve: i don't think we have ever done a year long clock. brian: countdown clock towards big press conferences. steve: we could have a countdown clock to tonight's interview that's going to run on the stephen colbert show because joe biden sat down with mr. colbert yesterday of the ed sullivan theater and they asked all sorts of things, in particular, mr. colbert asked the former vice president about that story "the washington post" said joe biden said out on the trail completely wrong pinning the medal on the war hero's chest. and joe biden addressed those gaffes and others in this fashion. >> look, the reason i came on the jimmy kimmel show. [laughter]

any gaffe that i have made and i have made gaffes, like every politician i know has, have not been about a substantive issue -- i'm trying to talk about what other people have done. for example, they made a big deal of my saying that i pinned a medal on two people. the fact that i said that i was vice president -- well, in one case i was vice president elect the other case i'm i was a senator. i'm not sure that's relevant. i don't get wrong things like, you know, there is -- we should lock kids up in cages at the border. brian: which they did. they were the ones, that's where we got the pictures from during his administration. ainsley: it's interesting he isn't didn't say -- he is defending his gaffes because there are so many of them. steve: apparently that part ran last night he did have a

funny answer he referred to mr. colbert as jimmy kimmel. brian: right. steve: which is funny. brian: i do think details do matter. not extreme details when you get the branch of the service wrong, when you get the war wrong, when you get your own job wrong. ainsley: the timing. brian: when you describe an incident wrong. where the medal was pinned on wrong and when the "the washington post" picks it out, i think you have a tough case to make and your answer is what's the big deal i just want to show how brave our men and women are who fight wars. i don't know where to start. steve: it was a composite story a little from here a little from there. brian: that would have been a little better explanation the details of the fact don't matter. he prefers truth over facts. ainsley: ebb many people thought he should have run in '16. he had the experience and likability factor. he had been through so. people were compassionate

after losing his son and what he had gone through in his life personally. steve: he has run for president a couple times before and never gotten more than zero percent. ainsley: bernie sanders was so extreme last time people are scratching their heads what, socialism, is he crazy? now people have really jumped on to that. did biden miss his opportunity? yes he is number one in the polls, when the race starts to widdle counsel and the progressives are only one or two left. what's going to happen them? brian: people speculating drudge he basically had a blood vessel burst during the broadcast last night. people wondering where did that come from? from extreme stress? did he poke himself in the eye people wonder because he has had health issues before in the past. steve: i'm sure they will address that today, at least you would think so. let's stay tuned though. ainsley: carley has headlines for us. carley: we are going to kick things off with a fox news alert. today federal investigators will continue to interview

crew members, first responders, and the u.s. coast guard about that deadly boat fire in california. the captain, the boat's owner and other crew members have already underwent hours of detailed questioning. the captain and four crew members were the only survivors. none of them tested positive for alcohol. drug test results are pending. fbi divers now joining the search for the last missing victim. rescuers recovering 33 of the 34 bodies from the water. police questioning a man overnight who they believe illegally built and sold the guns to the shooter in odessa, texas. the "wall street journal" reports the unidentified texas man privately sold the rifle to the gunman. it's unclear if he knew the suspect couldn't pass a background check over mental health issues. a police officer injured in the attack is now out of the hospital. people lining up giving that zac owens a round of applause. look at that. the end could be near for

bill de blasio's presidential campaign. >> the logical thing to do go until the october debates. if i can a good reason to keep going forward. ifia, it's tough to conceive of continuing. carley: the new york city mayor did not qualify for next week's debate failing to hit 2% in four polls and securing 130,000 unique donors. the same requirement applies with the october debate as well. a man parks his smart car inside his kitchen amid hurricane dorian. take a look at that his wife in jacksonville, florida says he was afraid it would blow away. they do have a garage but it already has two cars in it. those are your headlines. ainsley: that's awesome. carley: some people have to get pretty creative. ainsley: that's so funny. those cars are so cute. carley: they are. brian: unless you like back seats. ainsley: i don't know how safe they are. steve: but it's a smart car.

brian: it was a violent labor day in parts of this country. chicago shootings killed seven people injuring 34 others. in philadelphia local reports report 16 people dead 19 others injured after multiple shootings and stabbings. looking at the horrible numbers. are the policies of these cities the blame for the violence. i want to ask chicago fraternal order of police kevin graham: we see these horrible numbers. we want to know what's the cause and who is responsible. what do you say? >> there is a number of problems. but the biggest problem is we have prosecutors in both cities that fail to prosecute. they have low bonds. they don't want to hold criminals accountable for their crimes. and although the police are doing outstanding job in both cities, it is hard when the criminals are immediately released. brian: there is not a lot of proactive policing going on

because there is a not a lot of push and backing from politicians, correct? >> that's absolutely correct. you know, we had a fraternal order of police conference down in new orleans where the mayor was backing the police, stood behind the police, and they knew it. and so crime is going down there. we want to make sure that the politicians here in chicago and throughout the stated of illinois are standing behind the police so we can reduce crime. we are doing our support, but we have to keep the criminals in jail and they have to be held accountable for the crimes they commit. brian: look at these numbers in chicago, in 2018 there were 1613, 2019 not even done and already at 1400 plus. so this is through september 1st, obviously. we still have a few months left. you look at these numbers and it's staggering. essentially people seem to be immune to it. if there is a mass shooting in el paso or somewhere else, the whole world is on fire. why do we seem to be

accepting this? >> i think people don't realize that when the prosecutors in both of these cities, it's both philadelphia and chicago fail to do what they are asked to do, the crime just keeps getting out of control. unfortunately, when that seems to be the common thread between both cities, i think people just accept it as this is what goes on in the courts and that's unfortunate because the police in both cities doing outstanding job why will see. police getting backing. how about this factor, guns. twitter battle between the mayor of chicago lori lightfoot as well as senator ted cruz. senator ted cruz essentially said you want to control the shootings in america? look how bad things are and how tight the gun control laws are in anything. and he says, you know, violent criminals are going to get that and people who are law-abiding citizen are going to pay the price for

that. and she came back at him and said this in a tweet. 60% of illegal firearms recovered in chicago come from outside of illinois. mostly from states dominated by coward republicans like you, meaning senator cruz, who refuse to enact common sense gun legislation. keep our name out of your mouth. really? so she is blaming record republicans for democrat run cities because guns are coming from republican states. >> we are bordering wisconsin and indiana. so obviously we have people coming through both states criminal activity going on. having a debate over the where the guns are coming from is irregardless of the fact that we have people being shot in the city. we need all our politicians to get on board and start backing the police. i don't care whether it's democrats, republicans, they

need to start doing their job and making sure the criminals are staying in jail, that they're prosecuted, that their bonds are being held and criminals are being held accountable for the actions that they do. brian: where are republicans making the argument that their philosophy works better than democrats' philosophy? it just seems to be acquiescing in these major cities say we never going to get elected anyway. they used to try. the republican party in new york city, we had republican got elected once and of course rudy giuliani, they just disappeared. so, republicans make counter argument democrats continue to win. kevin graham, thanks so much. >> thank you. brian: all right. straight ahead. first it was eric mccormack and now debra messing walking back her comments calling out president trump donors and supporters. michael lofton says not so fast. is he on deck after doing "the five" last night. there he is. ♪ we trust usaa more than any other company out there.

loftus. >> this is hilarious. it's really the awkwardness of it. because he obviously called for a blacklist eric mccormack in the original tweet. is he like i want to know. and then he says so we will all know like who is we all will know? exactly. and then it's hilarious because she backed him up on that one, too yeah, we want to know. and then when it was like how horrifying it was that like dude, blacklists are not good. it's already dangerous being a conservative in hollywood. like when they start making lists. usually it's the people who make the list who are the bad guys. those are the bad guys. brian: it was the first time. the first blacklist. ainsley: she did apologizing for liking that sign. she liked the sign that was outside of the church that said if you are a black voter for trump, you are mentally ill. but then she did double down on her criticism of the president in that tweet. brian: the president is running on the platform i want to put babies in cages.

how ridiculous is that statement? >> that was in small letters under hope and change. hope and change babies in cages it's obama's policy. take it one obama. boycott netflix if you want to. as eric mccormack realized how horrifying his tweet was and she backed it up. i couldn't have said it better. they are in hot water. it's horrible, it's ugly. nobody needs to be blacklisted because they vote differently. ainsley: #racist debra messing was trending. >> that was hilarious, too. she should just put the phone down for awhile. she should talk to her agent. brian: i think ellen was trying to get her a date. i think she should focus on that. i'm kidding. xie washington talking to tyrus on the app. he talked about, too. how there is another people out there who feel as though the democratic party is basically forcing them to stay. watch. >> there has been a lot of

conservatives orson trick libertarian minded people, they are they are terrified to come out and say anything against the democratic party. it's sacrifice, it's a risk, and there is a penalty for it. but i will only walk away when it matters. steve: he took some heat because he did go to the white house for the president's criminal justice reform. >> i think it's fantastic because is he absolutely right. like there is a really good chance -- i was hosting "the five" last night. i said this as a joke there is a chance my career in hollywood is over. i will be asking you guys for applications. i will be maybe cover in the back. brian: you don't care. have you made that clear. most of your standup, you have a road tour on that. >> the tour is going great. that's kicking back up. people like isaiah need to come forward. there is normal people.

we just don't think big government is the solution. that doesn't make us evil. ainsley: he goes on to say look, basically, we are all flawed but i like his policies. i don't like everything that he does but i like his policies. >> exactly. that's like if you lean to the right already and you are like a reagan republican, like when the worst things you could hear is like i'm from the government, i'm here to help. that terrifies me. trump is giving us what we want. he is getting rid of regulations, small businesses capitalism has saved more lives than any other spacism i rism of mankind. steve: what people on the political left are trying to do is make trump supporters feel like you can't possibly support this guy. but invariably rather than not support him, many of them just won't talk about the fact that they support him. >> right. and that's exactly what's been going on. they are trying to peel away trump supporters.

making you feel like a weirdo if you lean to the right. how could you be this evil. you are a nazi. it's horrifying. good people need to stand up. brian: you live in los angeles, right? do you know people out there who say michael, i agree with you 100 percent i'm not just going to tell anybody. >> yeah. brian: a lot? would you be surprised by the amount of people. >> i think you would be surprised by the amount of conservatives in hollywood. hollywood, los angeles, if you think about it, wanting to go to hollywood and be famous and be a star and pursue your dream that is like the most american dream thing you can do. you are by yourself. it's you and you are struggling. brian: not guaranteed. >> exactly. that's what drives me crazy when you have people like jim carrey like a full on communist now. he came to this country with nothing but the shirt on his back. talent a little bit of luck and hey we should all be communists. are you crazy? do you not remember how you got here? brian: standup how brutal it is. >> yeah.

and hold on tight because a couple of times i have lost my balance here. a lookout of this stuff flying around making it even more of a dangerous situation that's what the roads look like all over this town. the roads are flooded. it is not a good idea to try to even get out for anything you see. police officers are out trying to block off the roads because if you can believe it, we did actually see one person, at least, try to cross into these roads but that is not a good idea. i'm trying to stay out of the waterfront, too, because right now there are lines down just that way and i just don't trust this water right here. there could be electricity flowing in it making it another dangerous situation for folks a lot of folks told me yesterday we are going to hunker down and ride this one out because they thought it was going to be a category 2. it was yesterday. now it's a category 3. so this is the time where families should be staying indoors. it's just not a safe

situation we are watching the storm surge another part of this storm. the flooding, the wind gusts and the storm surge that's expected to flood this even more if you can believe that. steve: aishah hasnie storm surge. ainsley: doesn't take much to flood downtown charleston. steve: the sheriff there said p.j. tannerton this is not where you need to stick around for a hurricane party. this is serious storm. ainsley: it floods with just a storm there. and now you have a cat 3 hurricane moving in. steve: it's something. ainsley: todd piro is live in wilmington, north carolina. where hurricane dorian could make landfall in just a matter of hours. good morning to you. todd: good morning to you. we hopes to join you in the 6:00 a.m. hour. there was a outer band bringing lightning. we made the decision to not get out of our cars. janice dean told us don't get out of your cars and i listen to j.d.

somebody we are going to listen to now is jane. jane is somebody who taught meteorology now she teaches middle school and was also a navy veteran -- is a navy veteran. thank you for your service. all that said, you are not leaving. why? >> this is our ancestorial home and my great grandmother built it from the remains of a house that was on third and chestnut. she came and rebuilt it down here. and my grandmother, migrate grand more. all of our families has lived there my 94-year-old mother and my 8 will-year-old uncle will not leave. so guess what. i get to stay. todd: understood. have you also stayed during a number of other storms. tell me what happens to the body of water behind us during a hurricane. >> the storm surge actually comes over the island and then just makes this water rise. and it will come over the road and just keep going until the storm surge stops it. could go all the way up to the houses, but, fortunately it has never done that. todd: jane, we wish you and your family the best of luck. thank you for taking the time. we will send it back to new

york. obviously can you tell not too bad right now. all we need is one outer band to pass and things get a little hairy very quickly. steve: indeed. todd, thank you very much. janice dean joins us right now. janice, earlier when we were talking about a low tide for charleston and high tide. right now is actually low tide. janice: right. steve: high tide is 2:00 this afternoon. janice: you have to know when the tides are coming. in that will make the storm surge even more impressive and dangerous. take a look at the maps. new advisory out at 8:00 a.m. with new coordinates. tweargt 3 if this strengthens overnight. the wind gust along the coast line above tropical storm force winds. tropical storm force winds extend 200 miles from the center of this storm. it's going to effect hundreds of miles. even if we don't see a landfall across south carolina, the closest we think the approach is going to be is around cape hatteras tomorrow morning. but look at the tornado warn storms. not only the storm surge, not only upwards of a foot of rain or 5 to 8 feet of

storm surge, as well as those hurricane force gusts, we are are going to see the threat for lightning and tornadoes. so all of these that's right areas that you see in pink are tornadoes warn storms. cause structures turley damage and that is going to be a concern as outer bands continue to come across land. these are the tropical storm force winds 200 miles from the center of the storm. hurricane force winds around 60 miles from the center of the storm. even if you don't have a landfall along south carolina. you are still going to be dealing with hurricane impacts. we do think we are going to see the potential for a landfall around hatteras tomorrow morning. again, that's just a point. we are going to feel the effects of this hurricane well up and down the coast. all the way up towards the delmarva as we head into friday. those all hurricane warnings meaning we will see the effects of a storm surge and the hurricane force winds and the heavy rainfall and the severe storms as well throughout the day today and to tomorrow. steve: another storm day.

all right. j.d., thank you very much. ainsley: congresswoman aoc who represents this area of new york. she is a democrat. she has strong opinions about gun control. got into a clash with dan crenshaw. brian: so odd aoc clash on twitter? ainsley: you can see dan crenshaw injured fighting for our country. is he a republican and lives nut great state of texas. there is a woman in houston who used a handgun to defend herself when five men tried to rob her. she actually fired that gun and one person was injured. so he tweeted out in response to that he said situations like this story are why we protect the second amendment. side note, with universal background checks, i wouldn't be able to let my friends borrow my handgun when they travel alone like this. we would make felons out of people just for defending themselves. steve: well then she responded you are a member of congress? why are you lending guns to people unsupervised who can't pass a basic background check in the

people you are giving a gun to have likely abused their spouse or have a violent criminal record and you may not know it. why on earth would you do that? well, he obviously decided to respond. brian: there was a time when people actually talked to each other. now we just write to each other. he wrote back this: dear diary, just so i'm clear, you think my friends are domestic abusers/criminals? seriously that's your argument? that they can't pass a background check? wrong, people lend guns to friends, especially if they don't own a gun, for self-defense, and hunting purposes. there is newark outside of new york city. ainsley: aoc, what happens in the south and other parties of the country might be different than new york. they go out and hunt. members of hunting properties and hunting reserves and they go out with all their friends and check out each other's guns. i remember doing that as a kid i went out with. her dad let us fire off a shot. we fired off shots with his gun which one liked better. probably illegal at that

point because i was little. that's what people do down there. they don't give guns to someone walking on the street and you don't know their background. those are friends of his that he will let use his gun. steve: dan bongino who is a licensed gun owner, he had this observation last night on the laura show regarding how the left doesn't quite understand all of this. >> a lot of people liberals never handled a gun worked with law enforcement talk out of the wrong end of their body and insist that somehow the next law is the going it the one to do. this serious tragic incidents that have happened. i'm not minimizing that at all. recent incident where a guy had failed a background check and went and procured a gun another way already broke the law. what he did was illegal. what do you want to make it extra super illegal with a new law? good for mitch mcconnell for bringing some common sense to debate and stop putting obstacles in front of legal gun owners because the criminals don't care. they never cared about gun laws.

steve: right. and mitch mcconnell has said he will support any gun legislation that the president says he will sign. he will go forward with that otherwise, if the president isn't on board with something, he will not bring it up to the u.s. senate. brian: we will see where that goes. 13 minutes before the top of the hour. hey, carley. carley: i have a story a lot of people are going to be interested. in nearly 420 million facebook users may have had their phone numbers exposed. that includes about 133 million people in the united states. according to tech crunch, the information was on a server that was not password protected. the breach is the latest in a string of privacy issues with the social media site. a facebook spokesperson says the data set has been taken down. and we have seen no evidence that facebook accounts were compromised. a named after the president of the confederacy will be renamed today. jefferson davis highway in arlington, virginia will be known as richmond highway.

convincing others when facts don't seem to matter." author and president and partner of maslansky and partners lee carter joins us live. >> great to be here. steve: you realized before the election the president was on the verge of winning because he had mastered the art of persuasion. >> yeah. you know, going back into the campaign trail through the primaries, i gave a seminar to a lot of my clients the five lessons we can learn about communicating from the president. or from donald trump at the time. people thought what? that's impossible. steve: he ain't going to win. >> yet he did. he really mastered five simple stepping that are covered in the book. ainsley: what are the five? >> one he created a big vision. it was very, very clear that he knew exactly what he wanted and he wanted to take america back to a time to what he was proud of. the second thing he knew his target audience. he was laser, laser-focused on who they were. and it was a lot of people who hadn't voted in a long time. a lot of people who hadn't voted republican. steve: sounds like you are

talking about marketing, simple marketing. >> that's exactly what it is. he haters. he absolutely did. he knew when it was time to address them and it wasn't. for example, a lot of people criticized him saying he didn't have experience. he was able to flip that on its head and say, you know what? i am a blue collar billionaire and i'm going to make deals. ainsley: i have heard there are two schools of thought on that. he does. he listens to his haters and he responds. punches back harder. >> exactly. ainsley: i don't listen to the haters. i don't read what anyone writes about me because i don't wants the negativity. >> it's always interesting to me when you hear an interview i don't even listen, to even pay attention to that do you always believe that? i'm not sure that's authentic. i think the thing that's true about the president he knows when he needs to respond and he knows when he needs toying nor it. he was a able to flip criticism back on its head and punches back hard. steve: he rode in on a few signature ideas. >> i think you will always know who is winning by the

one who has the message that you remember. that one thing that you can't take your eyes off of. he had that one thing that one master narrative make america great again. and he said it over and over and over again. steve: one thing about the democrats right now the message is not simple. they are for a lot of stuff. >> it's not simple and it's all in reaction to the president. so when you look at the top 5 candidates, every one of them has a message that's about restoring the soul of america. it's all about responding to the president, not what they are going to do for america. and i think that's one thing the president did very differently. he also was very good at talking about his policies very simply. he made them symbolic symbols. he didn't talk about getting tough on immigration. he was going to build a wall. steve: figured out persuasion the name of your book. check it out everywhere. ainsley: thank you, lee. congratulations. steve: coming up, geraldo rivera is going to join us live next. plus. steve: tracking dorian as it

it is coming down. the wind was strong. there was recorded 68 mile-per-hour wind at charlotte international airport. we're feeling pretty strong winds. you cross over with a cat-1 hurricane with winds over 74 miles per hour. we're taking pretty strong gusts now. it is a combination of all the rain, a foot of rain coming along with the winds hitting us now. quite strong winds. look at the pier. it is the storm surge they're worried about. upwards eight feet of storm surge caused by angry sea of hurricane that reads cat-5 220 mile-per-hour winds, devastating the bahamas, creating large open water waves pushing into the folly beach pier. we're on a barrier island of charleston. we haven't seen but one person on this entire island. seems most people have evacuated. but you know, you just don't know what the sea is going to

do. you're looking at an image of low tide. we're just coming out of low tide. several hours to go as this tide is going to build. as it pushes in, it will come up, we saw, when we drove along ashley avenue, which is the main road on folly beach running perpendicular to the ocean, we saw lots of standing water, lots of flooding, lots of downed power lines. big branches difficult to get around ourselves. right now a flooding situation that is beginning certainly here. i can't speak for downtown charleston, but having lived here, ainsley, you're fully well aware, this place floods when it is not a tropical storm or higher. this storm behind me will bring a push they haven't seen in two years here. remember two years ago, irma causing unbelievable water damage. last night a person telling me thought it could never get worse when we saw in irma. we'll see what it brings today. it is taking the path matthew did three years ago.

this pier may yet take more damage before this day is done, guys. >> have you seen any surfers, griff? folly beach is known for -- reporter: no surfers. we saw one guy that rode the storm out. he cale down on the beach to take a closer look. then he went back into his home. fortunately no one in the water here. we saw a lot of that obviously yesterday. i was in jacksonville. then further south in daytona. fortunately out here, i have surfed this beach many times in my life. fortunately there is no one out here today. hopefully no one will try to do it. it will be a nice day tomorrow perhaps, once the storm comes through but the swell will continue because of the size of waves, ocean water waves that it brought. it will not be safe. you know, even getting out here may not be possible by tomorrow, because we're seeing a lot of flooding, and a lot of debris, a lot of downed power lines just on the island on folly beach, guys.

steve: griff jenkins thank you very much, a live report on the barrier islands. janice dean is with us. it is back to category 3. 115 mile-per-hour maximum sustained winds. janice: we got a new advisory. it hasn't changed much. it turned back into a category 3 major hurricane. the results are the same, storm surge five to eight feet in vulnerable areas, up to a foot of rainfall and hurricane-force winds along the coast. not only that these are tornado watches for parts of south carolina and north carolina. tornado warned storms. look at the lightning coming in. we could see weak tornadoes throughout the day that could cause structural damage on top of the flooding concerns. we have flash flooding occurring right now in charleston, myrtle beach, expect to see flash flooding up and down the coast. very vulnerable beach areas. here is the latest track. same coordinates in terms of wind speeds, category 3. this is later on, coming very

close here to south carolina. we think the best chance for high impact landfall is going to be over north carolina as we get in towards hatteras and morehead city, probably three a.m. or 4:00 a.m. tomorrow. we'll keep track of that. finally the storm is offshore. although it will be a big deal with perhaps 100 mile-per-hour winds as extra tropical system for friends in canada and maritime provinces. i will be happy when it is offshore. steve: it has been a long week. thank you, jd. brian: let's bring in geraldo rivera fox news correspondent at large. he is in ohio. he knows hurricanes better than anyone being in the middle of it. you know waters and danger being experienced sailor. does this storm in south carolina remind you of anything, geraldo? >> brian, i bring back to what you and i said together on the

"the five" couple days ago. bahamas is awful story a human tragedy, that is developing we'll see how bad it gets as we saw through the wreckage and so forth. i think of dorian, other than the baja -- bahamas and suffering as a miracle. it missed virgin islands. it missed stricken puerto rico which has not recovered from maria and irma. now it is basically missing east coast of the united states, it will go up and go into the canadian maritime. the bahamas though, this is a epic story, historic story. i know these waters very well. the first country i sailed to. we basically sailed to everyone of them. i love bahamian people, they are cousins to america. sidney poitier, al roker, bahamian descent, the miracle of

doran missed most populated areas of nassau, capital, further south. abaco is shredded. 20 dead. we don't know how high the to will get. it won't be mass casualty. it won't be a hurricane katrina or hurricane andrew. it is after full for the bahamas. seems the northern bahamas have to be rebuilt. i really support wholeheartedly this notion of restrictions being lifted on the bahamian people for now, to come join their families, cousins, friends, relatives in the united states, when as this island nation is rebuilt. brian: marco rubio is asking the president to lift that, allow visas and rick scott. steve: geraldo, the president was talking a little bit about the hurricane yesterday in the oval office. he held up a map that showed the cone of uncertainty, it was kind

of uncertain who exactly drew with a sharpie the area a little bigger, the president said he didn't know who, but he did talk about that, the storm, and a lot of people were concerned about shifting money from the, from the pentagon at a time when fema might have needed it. he said, it looks like 500 miles of border wall, new or reconstructed will be done about it election next year. he said this as well. listen. >> first of all, we're using much less here than we anticipated. we thought this was going to be a direct, originally this would be a direct hit into miami. and we're, we would have been satisfied anyway. no, we, we need help on the border. the wall is being built. it is going up rapidly. i guess most of you have been able to see we're building very large sections of wall. it's, big factor was we just won a big supreme court case as you know. what we wanted to do is about

500 miles that will take care of all the areas we wanted and marginally areas that we dent necessarily need if we got it done. we were looking to do a 500-mile stretch. we should have it almost complete if not complete by the end of next year. ainsley: he is pushing pause button on 127 military projects, saying i will take the money, 3.6 billion from those projects put it towards the wall since congress hasn't passed what he has been asking them to. taking money from puerto rico, where you're done, 400 million for 10 construction projects. millions of dollars of middle school in fort campbell in kentucky, joint air force base and from a warehouse in virginia, a fire station in buford, south carolina. the list goes on and on. what are your thoughts about that. many people agree with the president. we'll table those issues, focus on the wall first? >> good morning, ainsley, great to see you. let me take a just in order

here. first of all, in terms of the storm hitting alabama and then earlier in the week the president saying he probably never even heard of a cat-5 storm, this is all clear to me, what is happening is that this president gets the worst press of any president in the history of the republic. everything he says and does is cross-checked and scrutinized to reveal him to be stupid, uninformed, or a liar, you know, it is very frustrating to see how other news networks obsessed about any misstep or misstatement the president makes. even to the exclusion of doing important reporting on this big natural disaster. so i think that the president really gets unfortunately and unfairly mugged by the media in a way that is beyond, beyond peril, beyond compare. in terms of the diversion, ainsley, your specific question of the 127 defense department

projects, first of all it is less than half of 1% of the pentagon's budget. the dirty secret with the pentagon is, it gets over $700 billion. there is a lot of waste, fraud abuse, rest of it. i'm not suggesting these programs that are being deferred, not being canceled, if congress wants to refund them and they can re-fund them if they come back in session. they can re-fund them for next year. the projects don't seem priority. dog kennel in guantanamo and other projects you suggested, firehouse and so forth. the voters voted him in to build that wall. i had my miss gives about it. clearly though the actions of the president on the southern border have helped bring order back to the border. we were confronting this enormous human wave, tragedy, children were being forcibly separated from their parents by government officials, there was awful, awful things happening as

this tidal wave swept over during the early summer months. now things have calmed down. the mexican government is cooperating with the president. the wall, in the critical and most vulnerable sections of the border is being built. the president threatened mexico, remember with tariffs if they didn't mobilize their national guard on the southern border to stop the coyote action and some other nefarious things going on on the southern border. so mexico is cooperating. the emergency is lessening along the southern border and the president has the right as he said because of a favorable supreme court decision to spend money as he chooses. 3.6 billion, plus another 2.5 billion. brian: right. >> he will get his 500 miles of wall. you know, let's move on to the next issue. brian: 700 billion. the military was starved for eight years. now every democrat is upset with 3.6 billion. he is not building a war slide. it is a defense of our country.

thanks, geraldo. good to see you. ainsley: thanks, geraldo. >> thank you, ainsley. steve: carley joins with us a fox news alert. carley: we have another "fox news" alert right here. we just learned a american service member has been killed in a car bomb in afghanistan. the u.s. military confirming a romanian service member was also killed overnight in the country's capital of kabul. the taliban is claiming responsibility for the attack. the body of a missing connecticut mom was inside a truck used by her estranged husband. that is according to the duols estranged girlfriend that he had the truck cleaned after jennifer dulos disappeared in may. he is facing evidence tampering charges after being arrested for a second time. they are pointing to surveillance photos which investigators say at his estranged wife's home. they believe he killed her, cleaned the evidence, disposed

a passenger the crew does talk about, okay, in the event of an emergency here is a staircase, there is the hatch, this is the fire extinguisher. but what something bad actually happens you don't ever remember that. >> you know, i think that's true, on airplanes, any situation. when a, on a dive boat like this, the crew does a really thorough briefing but in an emergency situation panic sets in. that is actually something i write about fairly regularly is, the concept of panic and what we call per separate wall narrowing. when panic sets in, you forget what you learned, your choices drop to one, fight or flight, try to flee. this situation, i can't think of any parallel to it, to be honest with you.

ainsley: when you think about what they went through in their last moments of life, it breaking all of our hearts, that is something all of our worst fear. >> awful. ainsley: extremely painful. when you look at those images, you learn about the story, is it going to change what you do going forward? will the regulations change? will you continue to dive? >> yeah. there is no question i will continue to dive. to be honest with you, if given the opportunity i would get aboard a dive boat tomorrow. ainsley: really? >> dive something such a part of my life. it is so beautiful underwater the connection that i have to the ocean. and my fellow divers have to the ocean i'm sure most of them feel the same way. that said i'm sure everyone of us will go, there will be extra moment of hesitation as you step on board, you look around, think, wow could that happen here too? there are dive boats or live aboard dive boats like this one in california, throughout the caribbean, red sea, all over the world and you just, you just

have to think about what is going on and be a little extra safer. there is no doubt in my mind that regulations will change. a point i made recently after the apollo 11, after apollo one accident, fire that killed the three astronauts we changed or nasa grieved, and nation grieved, we went back to look how we can make spaceflight safer. brian: same with the space shuttle. we have to find out what caused it. we have no idea, eric. >> exactly. i won't speculate on that but, we'll learn lessons from the incident and try to find ways to improve our own safety. brian: eric douglas, thanks so much. >> thank you. brian: coming up straight ahead we change gears. california looking to reduce school suspensions. could this move to help student also backfire? ainsley: our next guest says teachers today are in a crisis because of policies like these.

in the state of florida. according to police in melbourne and cocoa beach the drugs are worth hundreds of thousands dollars. somebody found it on the beach, called the cops. now we see them. ainsley. ainsley: thanks so much, steve. unruly and defiant students might not any longer face suspension in california public schools. a bill already passing by the state senate and assembly legislature saying quote a pupil will not be suspended basis of having disrupted school activities or willfully defied the valid authority the, meaning defying your teacher but will these policies actually be beneficial to the student? rebecca fred distribution has been a public school teacher in california 28 years. founder of kids and country. author of standing up to goliath. she joins us now. good morning to you, rebecca. >> since -- ainsley, great to see you again. ainsley: tell me why you have a

problem with this? >> i have a big problem with this because it is dangerous. about 70% of teachers nationwide are against these lenient suspension policies because they are causing a dangerous situation on our campuses. i highlight a teacher, erin bener from minnesota in my book, standing up to goliath. aaron witnessed on his campus, a elementary boy punched a little girl in the face, knocking her out cold. that little boy received no consequences. that little girl's parents were not notified. when aaron called the parents, he was disciplined by his administrators for interfering. this is not how we take care of children in our classrooms and our campuses. this is not how we're going to be able to teach children well. ainsley: in your persons as a teacher, i know teachers get the list, i come from family of educators, they get a list of who will be in the classroom,

everyone in the lower school knows who disrupted kids are. those teachers cringe when that kid, i hate to say that, because the disciplinary problems, they have gotten so tight, because schools are scared they will get sued. the parents take the kids side now, instead of teacher is always right. then the teachers and the students that they teach are disrupted all year long. so what can we do to solve this problem? >> you know, it is really a tragedy. what you just described has happened in my own classroom. i was always considered the teacher that was given all the discipline problems because my administrator knew i would love those kids, that i would give them really good boundaries. those kids were thrive and grow. ever since politicians and aclu, and labor unions have stuck their noses in, things have been falling apart. we need to put the authority back in the hands of local control. teachers and parents, working together with administrators,

doing what's right for these little kids so they can all thrive, so that the innocent kids are not injured. so that those are struggling with discipline issues can actually grow and improve. ainsley: okay. so right now kids k-3, can't be suspended for defying teachers. because of a new bill, it is expanded to 4th and 5th graders, charter schools, temporarily expanded 6th through 8th grade. talk about something else. cnn had seven hour town hall interviewing 2020 candidates. julian castro said climate change should be part of a school curriculum? >> should climate change be taught in school? >> i believe it is essential if we want to raise a generation of americans that will, do right by our planet. i do believe that, that kind of curriculum should be taught in our schools because that is how urgent this crisis is. ainsley: rebecca, what do you think about that as a teacher? >> well, i'm disturbed by it.

unfortunately as i mentioned before, labor unions are sticking their nose into our classrooms. unfortunately they are pushing things like this climate change hype. they're terrifying little children with unscientific information. i don't know if you're listeners know but teachers unions have actually changed the scientific method. they crossed out empirical evidence based on scientific, you know, when we test things over and over and over. they have changed it with, scientific theory. and unfortunately they're pushing theories as facts in our classroom. that is not education. i'm against it 100% as an educator. >> that makes sense. rebecca, thank you for being with us. pick up her book. >> thank you. >> it is called, "standing up to goliath." have a good one. thousands of people are waking up unfortunately without power because of hurricane dorian

lashing the south carolina coast christine blasey ford during her testimony rye revealed allegations. >> when he take as scalpel of roe v. wade, we will know who he is, we will know his character.

♪ ainsley: right now all eyes are on the carolinas. brian: category 3 hurricane dorian now could make landfall within hours they say. steve: that is a live shot from folly beach, down the coast from charleston, south carolina where aisha is joining us. you've been with us three hours. the water continues to come up. reporter: it does, guys. this is my first hurricane. i underestimated fury of these cat-3 storm. the bands that bring in crazy wind gusts that knocked me off my balance. as you said, flooding is a major concern here in downtown charleston as well. i'm standing in one of the flooded streets. it is already up to my ankles, just above my ankles t rises very slowly. it can be very deceiving if you're out.

hopefully you're not out. there is a curfew in place in these parts. this is a very dangerous situation. we've seen a number of power outages across this area. a lot of folks are without power right now. i think it was 80,000 just in the charleston area. so, it is time to hunker down and not go anywhere. we're seeing a ton of debris in this area. a lot of branches down, parts of this giant tree right there. and, one person has only seen one person, somehow found the courage to try to venture out to see what was going on. quickly had to turn around because there were police out here, telling people, no, you have got to go back. people, the security officials here, police do have things under control but again it's a dicey situation, this hurricane. steve: no kidding. thank you very much with her first hurricane. janice dean jones us. janice, not your first hurricane. you've seen them before and this has been a very powerful and at

times unpredictable storm. ainsley: what time do you think it will hit? >> it is hitting right now portions of south carolina, north carolina. if you mean a landfall the center comes onshore, we document where it comes onshore, that will probably be tomorrow morning 3:00 a.m., 4:00 a.m., if we're talking about landfall. this storm is already impacting the coast. we're getting at least hurricane-force winds around the center of the eye. that is the 92 mile-per-hour wind just offshore of south carolina. so we are getting it. they are feeling tropical storm force winds off the coast of south carolina. we're 70 miles south, southeast of charleston. the potential for not only heavy rain. so we've got this storm surge that is being pounded into the shoreline. five to eight feet in some cases, depending what your high tide. it could be higher than that upwards a foot of rain, and those hurricane-force winds.

we have tornado watches in effect, sometimes with these, these hurricanes that come close to shore, we have the outer bands come in, they scrape across land. they have a little bit of rotation. we could see a threat for weak tornadoes as well as a lot of lightning strikes with this. so dangerous. here is the future radar. so coming close to myrtle beach and wilmington. this is tonight, 7:00 p.m. brushing along the coast for north carolina. we think potential for landfall exists as it moves up towards hatteras. that will be around the time "fox & friends" is on tomorrow morning. but not to focus on the center of the storm. the effects are well beyond it, hundreds and hundreds of miles. steve: main effect is the storm surge. most people in a hurricane die from the flooding as janice told us a number of times. ainsley: thank you, janice. carley is standing over here with additional headlines for us. carley: let's get you caught up on more news. a suspect is shot after firing, after fighting with a deputy and

grabbing her gun. a warning some people may find this video pretty disturbing. [shouting] >> i'll kill you. [gunfire] carley: watch as the suspect repeatedly punches the deputy as she responded to a domestic disturbance call outside of los angeles. the man grabs her gun, shoots it in her direction. she was not hit. the suspect was shot by deputies as they tried to arrest him. he will survive. a second person died from lung illness linked to vaping. oregon health officials say the person used a e-cigarette containing marijuana oil from a legal dispensary earlier. winthrop hospital, dr. melody explained what makes vaping so dangerous. >> the flavors, they are chemicals. and one of them is very well-known. diacitel, i'm sorry. this is known to cause popcorn

lung which is very, very dangerous. carley: right now a pennsylvania teenager is in a medically induced coma. they think his illness is connected to vaping. california is the first state to ban fur trapping. democrat governor gavin newsom signing a law preventing people from trapping animals to sell the fur for reek correctional or commercial use. only 68 trappers work in california. state lawmakers are considering banning sale of all fur products. major league soccer team threatens to two fans from a game for flying a betsy ross flag. the couple put the flak away, they say they were being patriotic. at real salt lake game. >> he asked me, so, what is the purpose of the flag? i said because we love america. carley: the team claims the flag has become a symbol for hate

groups. they say any controversial flags or symbols, signs or symbols of hate are banned. betsy ross flag. brian: absolutely ridiculous. unbelievable. our first flag is now a symbol for hate groups? carley: 2019 for you. ainsley: where is rush limbaugh? what will he do about this one? brian: disappointed in the mls on that. one year since justice bret cough view nomination was rocked by controversy. you. >> i believe it is my civic duty to tell you what happened to me. my motivation coming forward was to be helpful and to provide facts about how mr. kavanaugh actions damaged my life so that you could take into a serious consideration as you make your decision. ainsley: now, newly uncovered video of her lawyer is raising some questions about that

testimony. >> you will always have an asterisk next to his name. when he takes a scalpel to roe v. wade, we will know who he is, we will know his character we know what motivates him. that is important. it is important that we know, that was part of what motivated christine. ainsley: our next guest was the first to report on that. it is all in his new book, search and destroy, inside the campaign against brett kavanaugh. steve: joining us right now, reporter for american lawyer magazine, author, ryan lovelace. he joins us from d.c. >> good morning. steve: i know you have not spoken to christine blasey ford but you found the video on a website for the last five months where it i can talks, debra katz, her lawyer talks about motivation. you're connecting dots. what does it all mean? >> well i'm looking at this in reporting "search and destroy" out, i looked at debra katz, going to her talks, watching what he does, talking to people

that are adversaries, hearing her say client was motivated by roe v. wade, tainting anything justice kavanaugh might do about it, it raises two things. as christine blasey ford's lawyer that christine blasey ford was ambivalent about all this. she said it was about her civic duty. raises a lot of questions what was the actual motivation. if she was in fact motivated trying to taint justice kavanaugh, for what purpose was that? secondly as you mentioned this video has been available publicly for some time, no one in the press has paid attention to it. i really think it starts to show some of the negligence that went on in terms of the coverage of this story, really investigating, getting to the bottom of all the intent an motivation what happened. steve: ryan, had people known about this motivation comment, perhaps the senators would have directed their questions differently? >> absolutely i think they would. i think when we were watching the hearings at this time last

year, one of the things that we saw was rachel mitchell, the questioner for republicans asking sympathetic probing questions but not adversarial. perhaps if they knew that the motivation as described by debra katz differed from what christine blasey ford said, if they knew about the things that after the hearing happened there would be different questions. brian: what is your biggest question? >> there is a few frankly. what christine blasey ford said happened only corroborated by her. when it happened, where it happened, she can't quite say. we have to get to, why did this happen? we haven't heard from her directly why this happened. whether or not debra katz is correct in saying this. debra katz in talking about her strategy said you need a legislative strategy, you need a press strategy, you have to have organized forces, work with non-profits rest of that it begs the question, was christine blasey ford working with all those organized forces that debra katz mentioned that had been trying to cancel kavanaugh's nomination from the very beginning even before he

got picked. >> tell us about your book. "search and destroy"? >> i've been working on this several months a year on from the hearings. what i've been trying to do walk readers through step by step the organized forces that were out there, even before kavanaugh's nomination that rose up and tried to cancel this nomination. there is a lot of attacks on legitimacy and authority of the court. that is why people were willing to speak to me because people on the left have said that justice gorsuch sits in stolen seat that belonged to merrick garland president obama's nominee. now they're trying to put as terrific next to justice kavanaugh's name. people need to understand precisely what that means. the attacks on legitimacy and authority of the court at that entails. brian: wondering too, if the republican party wasn't able to come together on this, if it would have fallen apart because kavanaugh has roots with the bush administration, who was picked by the trump administration. it gal vannized any anti-trump force because he had more

traditional republican background. do you think that played a role? >> i think it did. talking to folks you hear this is one of the most things, supreme court nominations are gal van nicing united moment for con irv tiffs and republicans writ large. when we saw michael avenatti step forward, that was moment which republicans and conservatives got their spine back, really stepped up, came together and had that not happened, we would be in a much different place right now i think. steve: ryan lovelace brand new book is called "search and destroy" inside the campaign to destroy brett kavanaugh. thank you. >> thank you. ainsley: it's a non-profit mission to help our heroes. rob schmitt is live at jfk airport for operation gratitude. hey, rob. reporter: which have a great story this morning. it is awesome. we're inside of an airplane hangar at jfk airport, a hangar donated. we'll have hundreds of people here in about hour 1/2 making
