3:01 am
otherwise, crime is going to soar. >> a tiny antibody has been discovered that they say neutralizes the virus causing covid-19. >> does it surprise you at a biden event there is way more trump supporters than biden supporters. >> no. this is florida. we are trump country here. ♪ ♪ steve: good morning, everybody. it's wednesday, september 16th, 2020, and we start today's program with an extreme weather alert. look at that right there. hurricane sally is set to make landfall at any moment as it pounds the gulf coast. ainsley: yeah. it's going to be hitting during our show. torrential rain is hitting alabama right now. the national hurricane center warns that flooding from the storm will be catastrophic. brian: all right. ashley strohmier is in the middle of it. she begins our coverage in mobile, alabama which is flight sally's path. ashley? >> hey, brian, yeah, you are right. we are in sally's path as you can see that wind comes and then it goes and comes and goes.
3:02 am
it is to be expected with a hurricane like this. now, there were reports on line -- on twitter saying that, you know, video reports showing that sally made landfall, the eye made landfall in gulf shores which unfortunately for them they were on the outer band of that eye for hours and hours and hours. now, let's get to mobile bay. i know it's dark behind me, but we have a bay all around us. and in the back part there is homes and businesses, there is a marine over here. wmarine -- marine that over mar. 400,000 power outages because of this form sings 1:00 this morning local time. not only that but the flooding. the national weather service said that the flooding is torrential it. is deadly. they are telling people if you are in a low lying area, get out now. get to higher ground because this is deadly flooding.
3:03 am
and not to mention this is going to be a very long weather event. just because it made landfall this thing is still moving slowly even though this winds and this rain, guys it is whipping us around like you can see it and also, to put it in perspective, i have been sitting in a 5600-ton tahoe and it is moving back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. just to show you how powerful this storm is. i'm going to send it back to you guys. steve: ashley, we know that the winds in that storm right now are at 105 miles per hour in portions. but then i have been reading from the national weather service from mobile that apparently as the eye of the storm comes ashore, suddenly it goes from 100 mile-per-hour winds to a perfect calm. the calm before the storm comes back again. have you seen that as the eye comes ashore? >> no. steve, i have not seen any calm since about 1:00 this morning
3:04 am
but i will say there was reporter on twitter that the national weather service in mobile retweeted he said it was hot, humid and it was still just a little bit of rain. but we have not seen that here in mobile bay. ainsley: ashley, we are officially learning it has made landfall. so many people you said are without electricity. do you know anything about how they are going to handle that? are they going to bring in crews from other states? have you heard anything? >> so i do know for sure that there are crews from other states. missouri tank force one got in here two days ago. one of 28 task forces that come down to help with hurricanes and any other cingsdz of natural disasters. they are down here and assisting us. there is numerous other organizations that are helping with this as well. like i said, ainsley, it is pitch black back here. they have got their work cut out for them. brian: we'll let you get out of that ashley. they can which with you again. officially hit land.
3:05 am
ainsley: she has to hang on. look at that. brian: go out to janice dean to get a full picture where this storm is heading. hey, janice. january national hurricane center center coming on shore gulf shores, gam as the a category 2 hurricane. in terms of hitting. i mean this storm has been hitting gulf shores, alabama for a period of 8 hours. so, we have seen the worst of the storm surge, the worst of the hurricane force winds and the worst of the rainfall east of the center of the storm as it has made landfall within the last several minutes. but, again, that's just a historical point. we are still dealing with the results of this storm for a matter of 12 to 24 hours in some of these areas. so, again, that is just an historical pressure point. it doesn't mean that the storm is not hitting the area because it's been hitting the area for duration of 12 to 18 hours.
3:06 am
gulf shores took a beating. pensacola, florida some of the reports of over a foot of rain with more rainfall to come for some of these areas. some of the reporting stations are now not reporting wind gusts. but we did have a report of 86 mile-per-hour winds ought pensacola for, again, six to eight hours. so this area of the gulf coast completely battered and in some cases catastrophic damage is imminent in these regions. we won't see the results until the sun comes up and the storm passes. and we are going to be dealing with this slow-moving system for the next darls. category 2 storm still. we just had a landfall. it continues to move north and westward at 3 miles per hour. so the slow movement of the storm is what is going to cause the most damage. we have a flash flood emergency in effect from gulf shores, alabama to pensacola, florida. they don't usually -- that's
3:07 am
very rare to see that so the potential for 35 inches of rainfall and the storm surge and the hurricane force wind historr this area. historic damage for this region. we will continue to monitor it of course the headline is the landfall but the storm is hitting and will continue to hit for hours and hours and hours. steve: that's right. and janice, after you have warned about the storm surge and big winds over 100 miles per hour, now they have got to worry about tornadoes down there, too. janice: yeah, absolutely. ainsley: i feel so sorry for the small business owners, department with covid. just getting back on track in many of these areas and then they are hit with this, power outages, worried about their homes, their families, their safety. steve: it's a terrible situation. we have got to covered. j.d., thank you very much. all right. and we have got reporters down there. we will keep you updated. in the meantime let's turn momentarily to the 2020 race. president trump told pennsylvania voters last night at a town hall in philadelphia
3:08 am
he has got no regrets over the way the administration has handled the response to covid. ainsley: meanwhile joe biden also hit the campaign trail. he is down in florida making his pitch to the latino voters. brian: that went well. griff jenkins is live in washington with the 2020 race. what's up, griff? griff griff it's really a swing state showdown. first in pennsylvania the president defending his handling of the coronavirus pushing back on woodward's revelations about down playing the threat in that town hall. here's what he told the voters. >> yeah, well, i didn't down play it. i actually, in many ways i upplayed it in terms of action. we did a very, very good job when we put that ban on. whether you call it talent or luck, it was very important. so we saved a lot of lives when we did that. >> and he tackled economic issues projecting an optimistic outlook for the near future. >> well the income inequality
3:09 am
which i agree with you is a problem. i always agreed with that if you look under president obama and biden, the income inequality was phenomenal. it was record-setting. it was. >> it's getting worse now. >> well, we are talking about a plague coming and before the plague, we were doing very well. now we will soon be doing well again because we're going to have a fantastic third quarter. >> meanwhile biden made his first trip to florida since becoming the democratic nominee where in the recent nbc poll he is down 4 points among latino voters who account for 20% of florida's electorate. is he looking to regain that lost ground. >> look, donald trump has failed the hispanic community time and time again and that's not a secret. donald trump has done nothing but assault the dignity of hispanic families over and over and over and over again. it's wrong. >> but he also raised eyebrows perpetuating his running made flip ticket gaffe mentioning that harris biden administration.
3:10 am
neither candidate is traveling today but both deliver remarks. the president is in washington. the former vp in wilmington. brian, ainsley, steve? steve: all right, griff. thank you very much. obviously when you look at that in connection with poll where the president is actually ahead of joe biden down in florida that's probably setting off alarm bells on the control panel over at biden incorporated, it is biden incorporate dollars, isn't it. brian: no harris-biden. steve: he has a running mate. , the running mate always comes second, right? griff just alluded to this. kamala harris made a big mistake in whose name goes first over the weekend and extraordinarily joe biden made the same mistake yesterday down in tampa. watch this. tcialg. >> a harris administration together with joe biden as the president of the united states, the biden-harris administration, will have access -- provide access to $100 billion in low
3:11 am
interest loans and investments for minority business owners. >> harris-biden administration is going to relaunch that effort and make it easier for military spouses and veterans to find means of careers to make sure teachers know how to support military children in the classrooms and improve support for caregivers and survivors so much more than we do now. steve: maybe you know that, maybe it was that way in the teleprompter. we had the president on the show saying joe biden has a teleprompter at home with the answers and stuff like that. no suggestion that that actually has happened but, nonetheless, it is ironic, ainsley, that she made the mistake and then he made the same mistake. he also, yesterday, mixed up iran with iraq. said a lot of american soldiers were killed in afghanistan and iran. ainsley: she caught herself and she correct it, it looked like. he didn't even catch it. he just kept on going. a lot of trump supporters think they have called him the trojan horse for the radical left he will come in and she will
3:12 am
actually take over. many people are calling him the place holder. brian: the monmouth poll came out much more favorable toward biden. these polls might as well throw them in the garbage. one in connection with, "wall street journal" poll has the president up by four. the monmouth poll has him trailing by 13. this is the reason why people might say that things are changing in florida when it comes to latino vote because the president's policy on venezuela finally cracking down on evil regime and the fact is he has reversed the could you badge even though you are communist and don't like us let's restore relations that was obama-biden policy i think i have that right that kicked off the huge and influential cuban community and plus a lot of part-time think the religion, family first attitude new england most hispanic families fit republican party. actually terrible yesterday. looked totally unsure of himself traveling into florida. he made another joke that just
3:13 am
bombed and he played a song into a microphone which seemed to be pandering toward the hispanic community. he also called himself i'm like the poor relative that shows up and eats all your food and stays longer than they should. i'm like the poor one. what is he talking about. get the president on how he treats veterans when he comes to well i know exactly how many people lost their lives in afghanistan. i hate to tell you u. much to the chagrin of many of his generals the president wants everybody out of afghanistan yesterday. i don't know who his expert is talking about veterans i don't think it's going to resonate that way. steve: when he walked up to the podium and playing the song with his iphone and then he did a little dance. ed o'keefe of cbs tweeted out oh my. and other people said it was cringe-worthy. and then have you mercedes schlapp who was a trump advisor
3:14 am
says does joe biden realize despocito means slowly that fits well with slow joe. whoever thought that was a good idea. he was introduce to the guy who made that song famous. nonetheless, people are saying really that's the song you are going to play. ainsley: look at the polls biden is leading in florida latinos 58-52. roughly in line with hillary clinton's 27-point margin in 2016 and we know how that ended she ended up losing the state to president trump overall. brian: the president needs florida. biden would like florida. steve: 48 days away from the big vote. 13 minutes after the top of the hour and jillian has headlines. jillian: the manhunt for a gunman accused of ambushing two sheriff deputies in california intensifies this morning. the reward for information now up to $300,000. overnight, auto 9 hour standoff

like oh no. i stand with the family of freddie gray you need to get your tailback home. she was wailing on him. the fact that you have these professional pay anarchists on the ground the more and more we know they are stuarting to crack down as well. we just had in portland, oregon all these kids arrested turns out they all come from rich homes. it's just really begs the question why do you have all these outsiders going in to communities that were quite privileged, i must say, burning things down? i think the more and more we discover, we're starting to discover that this is an agenda. steve: well, the judge did throw the book at them in pennsylvania. so, they probably didn't see that coming. brian: -million-dollar bail. >> about time. steve: you have been to a number of the protests. you were actually at a political event yesterday. mr. biden, what is it, it's the
3:45 am
harris-biden campaign, i think. they took their roadshow down to florida. and you caught up with. so people and as it turns out of maybe the incumbent actually had better turnout than the guy who would like to replace him. >> yeah. it looks like the president has a lot of latino support. i can rant on about this but let's take a look at this. >> does it surprise you that at a biden event there is way more trump supporters than biden supporters? >> no, man. this is florida. we are trump country here. >> are you surprised that the polling is showing now that the president is surging with latino voters in florida? are you surprised about this. >> not surprised at all. because latinos have lived in a socialist country. many of them out there, think would not support the socialism that the democrats are pushing. >> do you believe that biden has a shot here in florida?
3:46 am
>> no. [laughter] >> he is going towards socialism, people. wake up. ainsley: lawrence, there were -- were there a lot more trump supporters than you think biden supporters down there. >> oh, yeah, it was a little caravan of biden supporters. what's interesting is the data. the new in connection with poll reflecting that the president has 50% of the latino vote here versus biden's 46%. it just shows you that the socialism issue, this is what the people are telling me is the really sticking point for them. a lot of these people immigrated from cuba and they figured what happened back there and they are seeing what's happening on the ground much like what they saw back in the day in cuba. another interesting thing is when you look at bloomberg now. he is committing $100 million in florida. that's shows you how fearful is he about that. also, when you look at now some of the people on the ground are saying that in this new "the
3:47 am
washington post" report that bernie sanders is upset as well. is he saying that joe biden is not progressive enough and that he is not focusing on kitchen table issues. sow have got people there on the ground here in florida saying, you know, he is ler to social. party going joe biden is not going far enough. that's what happens when you become a chameleon and you don't tell people what you are for and guided by the people in the room. brian: lawrence, if he wins this is the fight that the democrats have for the next four years. they can't settle on a policy. what the trump people have to do is force them to define themselves before november 3rd. find a way and it's hard because joe biden is always hidden away. he doesn't want to answer questions from guys like you. so, therefore, it's up to peter doocy to try squeeze a question in to make him define is he the moderate from the 1990s. is he the guy on the debate stage, or s.e. the guy that now
3:48 am
has the nomination? >> yeah. and the campaign has tried to really isolated him from the people. i don't understand how you win a national election if you don't go out and talk to people. they have got to tristop trying to do these little small groupings. even his supporters that i saw there on the ground want to see him. if you are down in some states i don't understand how you feel like a small group is going to get you more support. now, the biden camp saying we are going to invest all this money in ads. that's not connecting with the people. always know, there is a is lotted of silent trump voters on the ground. i think more of the analysts should start pressing the vice president. brian: i do den is dominating tv it seems and has more to spend. steve: peter doocy is going to a biden event today and with a little luck -- he has about 75 questions for him. brian: i hope he doesn't get the heisman. steve: you never know.

ainsley: it's being called a major step against the coronavirus. scientists at the pittsburgh medical school have discovered part of an antibody that neutralizes the virus that causes covid-19. the antibody component is being used to drug ab 8. used to treat and prevent infections it. will head into broader trials next month. joining us now with more is with one of the researchers behind the discovery the chief of infectious disease at the university of pittsburgh medical school. good morning, dr. mellers. >> good morning from the great city of pittsburgh. ainsley: yes, sir. tell us more about this drug called ab-8. >> yes, ab-8 is different from minnesota antibodies. there are many antibodies that have been developed against sars cov-2 small protein of the surface called the spike
3:54 am
protein. it's extremely stable. and because it's small, it can get places in the body where other antibodies can't like the lung. and it covers mutants of the virus that have been detected that might resist antibodies. and because it's potent, we could potentially give a lower dose and treat more individuals who have infection or prevent more infections with a lower amount of antibody. ainsley: when do you use this drug versus a vaccine? >> so a vaccine is different than this type of drug. a vaccine causes the individual's body to produce antibodies. and hopefully the vaccines will do that most of the time. but some of the time, particularly in elderly populations, the vaccine may not work. and vaccines will not work when there is active infection. so, the antibody aba can be used to treat active infection and
3:55 am
can always be used in individuals who can't respond to the vaccine as a preventative. it provides synthetic immunity requiring the host not to produce antibodies. all that's needed is that the acket be injected and could last weeks to months. ainsley: is it being tested now on animals? i'm reading it's being tested on mice and hamsters. when will it be ready for human testing? >> so, it's been tested and two animal models in mice and in hamsters and extremely effective at preventing infection at low doses as low as 2 milligrams per kilogram for the scientists in the audience. and it needs to be produced under good manufacturing processes and will enter clinical trials in the 2021. we have an alternative acket that'antibodythat's more traditn
3:56 am
production and we will enter clinical trials by the end of the year. ainsley: in your experience once they enter the trials, how long after that are they available to the public? >> generally six months, at least. ainsley: okay. well, this is exciting news. thank you so much. thanks for working so hard to keep people safe and save lives. >> thank you. ainsley: you are welcome. those are our heroes, our first responders, our police officers, our doctors, our nurses. you are all amazing. coming up senators marco rubio and josh hawley and joey jones. that's all in the next hour. it's already been an hour. wow. ctric car. just more electrifying. still a night out. but everything fits in. still hard work. just a little easier. still a legend. just more legendary.

4:05 am
she has been tracking the storm. janice it is as you said yesterday, slow-moving and that means historic rain. janice: absolutely. some areas have reported close to 2 feet of rain already on top of the storm surge that is being reported over some of these vulnerable coast lines. last time alabama had a hurricane was back in 2004. so it's been quite some time. category 2 made landfall around 4:45 eastern time gulf shores, alabama. and that area continues to be battered by hurricane force winds. the storm surge, and the heavy rainfall. there is mobile, alabama where our friend ashley is, and they are getting some of the strongest winds in that area right now. it has continued to move nart ward 3 miles per hour. the slow movement is going to be ongoing for the next 12 to 24 hours and we are still going to be talking about this storm into friday for even parts of the western carolinas. also want to make mention the tornadoes, we have talked about

montage, just mission impossible it, seems to me, all that more impossible. steve: so did he wreck the middle east? actually fast forward a couple years it looks like things could be calmer right now, ainsley. ainsley: everyone we interviewed about this is from the middle east they are praising the president for this. even if they didn't vote for him. rush limb abramoff made a good point every enough president tries to tackle it. george bush tried it.

4:23 am
>> >> i think it's laughable that someone like joe biden that's been in office practically as long as i have been alive and pretend toe tout a record of achievement for the latino community. i think is he right the latino vote in florida in particular is going to be important. ainsley: it looks like it froze. there we go. >> his record of achievement and accomplishment. latino community. i don't think that we're going to go with false promises and empty accomplishments. i think we are going to stand by our president that has delivered an exceptional chapter of economic prosperity, educational opportunities and law and order. ainsley: let's look at some of the polls the nbc marist poll has trump beating joe biden in there among the latino voters. trump at 50%. joe biden at 46%. it's still very close. the monmouth poll has biden up 5 points down in florida. and leading the latino community as well. what's the truth? because we saw that hillary clinton was up when you look at
4:24 am
the polls down in florida and we know what happened there she didn't even win the state. >> i think if we paid attention to polls i probably wiewngted have been talking to you this morning as lieutenant governor. certainly what i think you see is the enthusiasm with latinos throughout the state. we are diverse group here in florida whether a we have seen with this president is not just campaign promises but results. this is someone that has stood up to the radical socialist ideas and that's something that the latino community is very, very informed about. they are not going to be lied. to say and they're not going to fall for these radical ideas because they fled those countries they have come to this country the land of opportunity to experience the greatness of america. so we're not going to take stepping backwards. we're going to make sure that we deliver on november 3rd for this president. ainsley: really quickly. are you seeing a lot of joe biden ads? my friends in florida say they turn on the tv and all over the place. >> yeah i am seeing a lot of ads. i'm not seeing a lot of
4:25 am
enthusiasm on the ground. that's somewhere where i believe this president is winning. i think what you see is an outpouring of support from every day floridians that understand we want a president that's going to fight for law and order. he is going to fight for freedom and democracy. is he going to fight for our economic prosperity. ainsley: lieutenant governor nunez, thank you for being on with us. >> thank you. ainsley: we wish everyone the best. stay safe. thank you. joe biden speaking with veterans down in florida and sharing a story about a marine with ptsd. but, marine corps veteran joey jones says the comments made him furious. and is he going to explain. ♪ the race is never over. the journey has no port. the adventure never ends, because we are always on the way. ♪

4:30 am
surrounding mental health treatment. steve: okay, joining us now is fox news contributor and marine corps veteran joey jones. joey, you are shaking your head yesterday when you heard the former vice president tell that story. if is he trying to appeal to vets to vote for him, for him to use that story says, what? >> you know, i was on my way to a prosthetic appointment yesterday my first one since covid started because i have a leg that's wearing holes on the end of it that's because of service i'm proud to know that but to listen to the vice president, when i was serving, when i lost my legs, tell a story like this that one probably is not grounded in fact. i think that i and your producers couldn't find this story anywhere. but, two, that literally equates serving in war to becoming evil, it's be a hornght. it's the worst thing i have ever heard a presidential candidate say about men and women serving. and, yes, i was listening when president trump ran for office and said a few things i didn't likes a well. but, that's the worst thing.
4:31 am
that undid 10 years of work in the military nonprofit mental health community of actually removing a stigma. these men and women may lose their will to live. but they don't lose their soul. they may hurt themselves, but they don't go hurting others. it's very rare. and for him to tell that story just because he is had some shock value and somehow likened himself to this issue, just shows how out of touchy is and i'm personally offended by it. steve: i see that you are quite agitated on your twitter feed. one of the -- one of your tweets says we're not going to put -- we're not going to put them up. then he literally just said post-traumatic stress causes one to become a murderous pervert and then ends that with we have to end the stigma. >> well, i think that's the worst part about it is he doesn't understand the point of his own story. he doesn't understand the point he is trying to drive home. you don't tell people hey it's
4:32 am
okay if you are suffering go get help. let people know about it. by telling them them a story if you are going to go kill people and do heinous things. and so, i can guarantee you that story is true, i put my life on it that man had other issues that were not connected to war and might not have even went to war. that's the kind of things that people gloss over. hollywood loves to connect war service to becoming evil and he is just falling right in to it because he has donors and supporters out there. narrative makes sense. the truth is very different. yes, i was very upset these are men and women that i fight every day to keep alive and keep hope in their hearts and to tell a story like that was not only irresponsible but malpractice as a politician. steve: we have a fox news poll. they polled a number of vets and the question is if the presidential election were held today, president trump would get 56% of the votes. joe biden would get 40% of the
4:33 am
votes. this has a margin of error of about 8%. it was conducted about a week ago. what does that poll tell you? >> i think by and large the military diverse now as it's ever been probably because we have smart phones and more informed than we have ever been. that's going to happen. a pretty good reflection of the rest of the country. most of us are looking past our military sufficiency and looking at the economy or social issues that we care about as well. i don't think veterans or military are in one caveat anymore one silo of voting. what i will tell you is that one thing president trump is doing right now and has done since he has been in office he has shouldered the political collateral to make decisions that benefit our military. striking in syria killing absolutely those arsoleimani. these are things can he do that don't cost blood and pressure that are afraid to do. i think service members will support him because of it. steve: we will see. johnny joey jones thank you for

4:39 am
>> yeah, you can finn, i will have us pan over here. i want to show you what this hurricane has done. it sucked all of the water out of bay and yesterday, guys, this water was lapping over this land right here, slapping us in the face. i'm not even kidding. now this hurricane has stuck everything out in that bay. all you can see is the sand. marine thamarinadicey. water as well. a couple of things, the police force here as well as e.m.s. are inundated they are telling people to hunker down and be patient as long as can you as they are getting tons of calls in for damage. there have been calls in that people are trapped. we have seen two of those so far. people are trapped from this storm. in dolphin island, which is just a little bit west of where we are right now, they have reports of 99 mile-per-hour wind gusts, as you can see, this wind will just pick up.
4:40 am
but the biggest issue with this is the flagged. the national weather service said that the flooding is going to be deadly. it is life threatening. they are asking people if you are in low ground, you have to go evacuate now. and get to higher ground. there an umbrella or something blowing this way. get to higher ground if you can but the flooding is going to be up to '35 inches, guys, back to you. steve: be careful, ashley. brian: wow. >> thanks. steve: you bet. brian: 20 minutes before the top of the hour. as the sun comes up, janice dean is tracking the hurricane's path. janice? janice: yes. so we had a landfall in gulf shores, alabama earlier this morning. the storm though is crawling 3 miles per hour and that is going to continue for the next 24 to 48 hours. we will still be talking about the women nantz of the storm well into the weekend. there is the forecast radar
4:41 am
moving up towards central alabama, northeast alabama and georgia. parts of the florida panhandle as well. there is the radar estimated rainfall since monday. a lot of these areas over 2 feet of rain already with more to go. so, the legacy of the storm unfortunately is going to be the water on top of the storm surge in some of these coastal areas. winged gusts around the pension cola area now 92 miles per hour. mobile, alabama where ashly is 71 miles per hour. and then well inland we're getting tropical storm force winds. so this is going to be a big weather event causing, you know, massive amounts of flooding for a very widespread area. a new advisory, of course, comes out at the top of the hour and we will bring you the very latest but, already, an historic storm in terms of the water. back to you steve, ainsley and brian. steve: sally is going to be around for a while. j.d. thank you for theenforceme.
4:42 am
ainsley: his name sheriff james albert and he says, quote: i was saddened and enraged by the murder of david dorn. these outrageous lawless acts have been met with silence acquiescence and in some instances outright support from the local, state, and national leadership of the democratic party. as a lifelong public servant and member of law enforcement, i have not left the democratic party. the democrat party has left me. brian: majority g.o.p. senator joshua hawley introducing the david dorn back the blue act today joins us. senator, in missouri, this seemed obviously inordinate the lack of respect for somebody who spent his life in law enforcement and was killed haphazardly. where was the outrage? why was there even a need for this act? >> you know, it is extraordinary to see in st. louis alone there
4:43 am
have been nine police officers shot in the line of duty since june, 9. we hear nothing from the democrats, nothing from the woke corporations and celebrities and that's why i'm introducing this bill. this would give a pay raise to every cop in america. and it would put more cops on our streets. it's time that we stood up and supported our law enforcement. the safety of our neighborhoods depends on it. steve: indeed. in addition to the violence and the physical harm there is an item in axios this morning that apparently since the george floyd death, 100 -- rather, 1 plus right damage is the most expensive in insurance history. because there were protests and in some cases violence all across 140 different u.s. citi cities. that's really something when you think about it. think about all the damage and lives lost and people
4:44 am
threatened. you know, it just feels, senator, like something weird is going on in the country. >> well, you really have a great divide between law enforcement on the one side and the democrat party and the left on the other. the left has decided it is open season on law enforcement. they have decided to embrace this marxist rhetoric. they are trying to tear down law enforcement. trying to tear down american society saying all of it is systemically racist. this is false. it's time we called it out as false and stood by law enforcement. they put their lives on the line for us every single day. they do it voluntarily. they deserve a pay raise. they deserve support. and we need more good law enforcement on our streets not fewer. ainsley: some of my kids that have kids that are teenagers. they say the biggest topic in their house over the last few weeks has been not only corona but this tiktok dile deal. at first we thought microsoft was going to get this deal and now reading about oracle. i am understanding that you are urging the administration to reject the deal. why? >> well, because i think it
4:45 am
doesn't do enough to separate tiktok from beijing. the big problem with tiktok is it is basically a spy apparatus for beijing because all of the data that they can get from our phones can then be ships off to china. i want to make sure any deal puts up a fire wall between china and beijing on the one hand and customers on the others. the i have seen about proposed oracle deal they don't do that no firewall. just a licensing agreement for oracle the american company to use tiktok's data and algorithm. that's not good enough. american consumers must be 100 percent protected. brian: so, senator, back to law and order for a second. are you surprised that kamala harris one of the two senators from california has not went out and visited those cops who were nearly assassinated over the weekend? >> you know, in a way i should be surprised but i guess i'm not given her world and given the record of the democrats. but it is absolutely unconscionable. to seat democrat party again
4:46 am
stand by while law enforcement are shot, again, in st. louis, 9 officers, nine cops shot on duty since june alone. i mean, this is -- this is terrible. i will tell you what's going to hurt all of this. is working people in working neighborhoods who depend every day on law enforcement to keep their families safe. that's who is going to suffer big time. i realize that the wealthy folks who are a lot of kinsey of the y constituency of the democratic party -- working people are going to be in the line of fire. brian: especially in compton work and scrape by you need security those two cops killed that's the message for the next cops. i don't know if i want to park my car and be shot next. maybe i won't go. >> this is why we should give every cop in america a pay raise. unfortunate you disirch support
4:47 am
and we need more comps on the beat. steve: senator judicial hallelujah from the great state of missouri. thank you very much. >> thank you. steve: jillian joins us with more headlines. jillian: the city of louisville reaches a record 12-million-dollar settlement with breonna new warrant approval process. police are searching for the suspect accused of vandalizing a virgin mary statue. the man caught on camera climbing over a fence and
4:48 am
tossing the statue onto the sidewalk of a brookn church before running off. police say the statue has significant damage. offering $2,500 reward for information on the suspect's whereabouts. breaking with teammates to honor a fallen hero. he put the name of cash on the back of his helmet. he died in iraq 2005. the team voted to awill -- mike tom lineal says he gave him permission after speaking with him before the game. that's a look at your headlines. send it back to you. brian: all right. odd controversy these days. thanks, jillian. college football is back. maybe the big ten is back. two weeks already in the books elsewhere. what can we expect this weekend? three time national champion and fox news' big new kickoff analyst urban meyer, the will

forty years later, one of those little boys, my son beau, was diagnosed with terminal cancer, given months to live. i can't fathom what would have happened if the insurance companies had the power to say, "the last few months, you're on your own." the fact of the matter is health care is personal to me. obamacare is personal to me. when i see the president of the united states try to eliminate this health care in the middle of a public health crisis, that's personal to me too. we've got to build on what we did because every american deserves affordable health care. i'm joe biden and i approve this message.
4:53 am
brian: president trump doubling down on his push to see the big ten conference play football this fall. >> i want to see football games. i'm pushing very hard for big ten. i wants to could begin in mid october. here to react former national champion head coach and kickoff analyst urban meyer. coach, i know have you steenel a lot but never seen. this the big ten you told me is practicing right now even though their season technically canceled. what are you hearing? what's the latest? >> quell, when the big ten stopped playing they sent all the players home which didn't make sense because the players doing such a great job testing prove that there is almost zero positives for covid and then they sent them home. so they came back, the players
4:54 am
have been practicing without pads. limited amount of time, i believe it's 12 hou hours a week 20 hours a week.eams are getting then the best thing that happened was the parents and the players came out very strong about wanting to play. and all they were asking was transparency and why why did we pull the plug on the big ten when you are watching notre dame play duke. so that's what's happened. it's very raw emotion. obviously because these players and these coaches and these families put so much in to this. brian: i heard there was an off-mic moment where they said they already came to an agreement from the nebraska coach. we will see. keep your fingers crossed. they should be playing. let's talk about what we found out last week clemson took the field beat wake forest 37-13. how did trevor lawrence and company look? >> oh, they are the best team in america without ohio state playing i think if ohio state and clemson are the two best primarily because they have the two best players in the country with trevor lawrence and justin field. they look great. overall though the football was
4:55 am
very sloppy, found mentales, you know, as you would expect when routines have been delayed. lack of spring practice. breakdowns during training camps. so overall fundamentally the game was not the same. brian: right. this week what do we have to look forward to? >> hopefully we have some great news about the big ten. there aren't any big time matchups this week on fox we have baylor against houston. that's going to lead into our two hour show with brady quinn and matt and reggie bush and rob stone. brian: big picture as i walk to the subway every day of you guys looking very sexy i might add. alabama faking on missouri and georgia taking on arkansas in a couple weeks that should be good. coach, couple players on ohio state just said the heck with, this i'm going pro. do you blame them? >> well, i think when you start talking about first round draft picks that have so much future ahead of them, i have dealt with it myself a couple years ago we had nic bosa the best player in america option out. he had a tough injury and
4:56 am
decided not to play. i understand it. it's heart-breaking because i thought ohio state had one of those teams. i still believe they do. you put so much time and effort into it and then a player like shaun white and wyatt davis two legitimate first round, great players and great kids. their families let them play. brian: key is get the rapid testing. tracing, the nfl is doing it. they could find how to do it. these kids so dedicated and disciplined. that's the nature of football. they could pull it off. coach, i hope you have a full slate to talk about soon but thanks so much for joining us this morning and ainsley says hello and i know you would rather have her talk to you but we will talk about that in the break. >> yeah. really disappointed ainsley didn't have it. but you guys do a great job. thank you. brian: back in a moment. ainsley: they are my friends. i love them. available over-the-counter. new voltaren is powerful arthritis pain relief in a gel. voltaren. the joy of movement.

ainsley: hurricane sally officially making landfall on the gulf coast. >> this is a disastrous and life threatening and deadly weather event. president trump: after decades of division and conflict we mark the dawn of a new middle east. >> we can end the arab israeli conflict once and for all. >> this is definitely the best news i've heard coming out of the middle east in a very long time. >> a harris administration together with joe biden, a harris administration. >> harris-biden administration is going to re-launch that. >> so will you be calling speaker in can you hammer it out president trump: at the right time yes i would like to see
5:01 am
additional stimulus for people that really wasn't there for them. >> we're in trump country here. >> i think what you see is the enthusiasm with latinos throughout the state. what we've seen with this president is not just campaign promises but results. brian: wow and those are some big stories but not the only story we begin with an extreme weather alert a live look in mobile, alabama where significant damage is reported we lost as hurricane sally slams the gulf coast and that's when alabama power says 152000 people are in the dark. steve: they are without power, the national weather service warning of dangerous flooding in parts of the state because of the torrential rain, ainsley. ainsley: look how high the water level is almost to the street. we have live coverage with janice dean tracking the storm and charles watson on the ground down in mississippi. first we'll start with ashley st rohmeier live in mobile , alabama. what's it looking like there?
5:02 am
reporter: yeah, guys we are still here at the mobile bay in alabama. i just want to say that the rain has really it's not doing much rain wise. the wind has picked up as the same winds just east of where we are actually west of where we are right now and picked up at 99 miles per hour. now the biggest issue that everyone is worried about right now with this storm is the flooding. there are reports actually fox is reporting upwards of 35 inches of rain that hurricane sally is going to dump on parts of alabama and in florida, especially pensacola completely under water. it's crazy what's going on there not only that, but there's also parts of alabama they are seeing flooding bridges are being shutdown, police are asking people do not go outside and assess the damage as these winds this is going to be a long event hours and hours of rain being dropped on this area, and in the
5:03 am
panhandle. also, orange beach, alabama, it's shutdown right now under water it is flooded. that's not too far from where we are either and earlier, i showed you that this bay was empty. it's filling up as it would with as you would fill up a bathtub essentially that's how quick it's filling back up there's nothing but debris and the gulf in this back here in this bay, but be aware, this is going to be a long weather event. the flooding is catastrophic. the flooding is deadly if you do not have to go out in this don't do it. there's also been semis reported tossed over on highways. i said earlier, i've seen the semis tip over and a lot less than you guys. brian: ashley thanks so much it's so weird it looks like almost not a bad day except for it's a hurricane. steve: 75-mile per hour winds. brian: charles watson is live in biloxi, mississippi where last hour not nearly as bad. how is it going, charles? reporter: hey guys it looks like biloxi and the rest of the mississippi gulf coast are
5:04 am
going to be able to elude some of the most dangerous and damaging parts of hurricane sally but we're not out of the storm just yet. here in biloxi the big issue this morning is the wind. its been whipping all morning long, 40-45-mile per hour wind gusts it's like tug of war standing out here sometimes. if you take a look at the back bay, the biloxi back bay behind me, you could see that the water is rough right now. that water being pushed inland, so it'll be interesting to see if this causes flood conditions as we go throughout the day. another issue with this wind of course is the debris whipping around, tree limbs falling and of course damaged the power lines so far about 12,000 people in the state of mississippi without power right now and that number seems to be growing by the hour. now, forecasters expec expect te stm surge to be far less than expected but they say that
5:05 am
high tide will be higher than normal so there will be some coastal flooding so officials there in mississippi are asking folks to be vigilant and to be mindful of the storm conditions out here. may not have been as bad as they expected but you have to be mindful. guys? steve: you do indeed need to be careful thank you very much let's go to janice dean. we've got marco rubio the senator from florida coming up next and as i look at at that swirl behind you it is really chewing up alabama and it looks like most of the panhandle of florida. >> janice: yeah, pensacola was feeling hurricane force winds for six to seven hours last night, so i'm very concerned with the panhandle of florida. not only the wind damage but incredible amounts of rain over 24 inches along the coast of alabama into the florida panhandle and we're not done yet so this is the latest advisory from the national hurricane center still a category 2 storm,
5:06 am
still a category 2 storm, it strengthened quite rapidly as it was making landfall overnight and we're expecting the storm to continue to crawl towards the forth east right now three miles per hour and that's going to be the forward speed over the next 12-18 hours, not only that, we could see the risk for tornadoes with these landfalling tropical systems so tornado watch in effect for a good portion of the panhandle up towards alabama and there your threat towards this evening and that'll also go into georgia and eventually the western carolinas are going to see the potential for a big flood threat, so flash flood watches and warnings post ed as the system continues to meander north and westward all the way up towards virgin galactic now, flood advisories for the next couple of days as the storm is expected to move very slowly. the big legacy of this of course we've been talking about it is the flooding rainfall. because of its slow movement not
5:07 am
only the potential for six to nine feet of storm surge but on top of that what we've already seen of 24 inches and additional foot is possible so the last time alabama saw a hurricane was back in 2004 that was ivan. so its been quite some time that this region has experienced something like this. steve, ainsley, brian back to you. ainsley: thanks so much janice. let's bring in florida's gop senator marco rubio good morning to you, senator. >> good morning. ainsley: she's saying it's hitting gulf shores right next door is pensacola which is your territory in that part of florida. what's going on in your state, what's your advice to the folks who live there? >> well the biggest concern is obviously the winds are damaging but the biggest concern and even the rainfall, which matters but you have to add the storm surge, and that's always been the fear in our coastal areas particularly in the gulf region is that a massive storm or even a category 2 strengthened right before it made landfall. we focus a lot about the
5:08 am
landfall but what we forget is that storm is swirling and pushing basically a wall of water onshore and what we've seen now with pretty significant reports of pretty significant flooding in pensacola is indicative of both storm surge and then rain on top of that and water damage is in many ways much worse and wind damage does a lot of structural damage. water kills, flooding kills and it traps people in buildings and it drowns people and destroys property but also kills people so we have a lot of concern right now about that storm surge brian: let's talk about what joe biden did yesterday. one poll shows him trailing president trump in florida with latino voters you know a lot about that and also, you also are looking at a situation wherein another poll, he's up by 13. meanwhile, it was enough to get joe biden's attention yesterday, so he went down there , and tried to sell his cause. tell me, in your mind, senator, if this helps or hurts. let's listen together.
5:09 am
>> i just have one thing to say hang on here. >> ♪ ♪ >> there you go, dance a little bit. come on. >> if i had the talent of any one of these people i'd be elected president. brian: desposito, he decided to play that, does that win over -- steve: slowly. >> yeah, i don't know if it matters he was standing next to the guy who wrote or who performed the song, so the only one missing was daddy yankee was the other part of the song but here is the bottom line at the end of the day. the people make and decide the selection that happen to be of spanish descent especially in central florida. these are very hard working people and what they want is what everyone wants. they want to be able to own a home and want a job with dignity
5:10 am
and go to work 40 hours a week and make decent pay and have good benefits their children are able to go to school, graduate and go on to a better life and they can retire with dignity and security. those are the kinds of jobs we need in america and those are the kinds of jobs we've lost to china and when joe biden was vice president and for years before that as a senator he was a full-throated supporter of this idea that let china de industrialize america. now they didn't say it that way but that's what he supported, as recently as earlier and this year during a campaign, he was saying china was not a threat or a big deal. so polling obviously tells him he needs to take it seriously but when we talk about china, it's not just about china but about the deindustrialize of america and about the loss of the kinds of jobs people can raise families with and fulfill their dreams with and central florida, by the way we have a horrific situation playing out with people who are in the hospitality industry who have been out of work for months
5:11 am
, so these are the kind of things that people care about and donald trump is fights for both kinds of jobs and i think that's why you're seeing reflected in the polling. steve: sure. one of the things that the president said last night at that town hall is the constitution center in philly over on abc, he was praising law enforcement, talking about the phenomenonal job they are doing across the country and said they should not be restrained the way critics are advocating and talking about how he's seen such lawlessness and destruction across the country. there's an item in axeios that talks about $1 billion plus in riot damage so far scattered across 140 u.s. cities and it is the most expensive in insurance history. a lot of people aren't talking about the impact its had on the small businesses and businesses in general but that's a big number.
5:12 am
>> yeah and here is the thing that's missing in that analysis is a disproportion at number of those businesses that were impacted that way is were owned by minorities, african americans , hispanic, a lot of the small businesses looted and destroyed or had to close because the streets are unsafe a lot of them were owned by the very minorities that these rioters allegedly were out there in favor of and it's really important to point the difference. if somebody wants to go out and holdup the sign and scream and be loud whether you agree with them or not that's their constitutional right. what you don't have a right to do is set fires and attack police stations, and kill people in the streets and then burn down buildings and then loot businesses and that's what's happened here and i think what's happened too is that some of the people out there that cover this stuff are afraid to call it out because they think they are going to be accused of condemning the broader movement for racial equality. this is about looters. this is about violence and
5:13 am
anarchy in the streets and it cannot continue. steve: just to add to that it's the most the insurance industry will have to pay than any other violent demonstrations in recent history so that puts it in perspective. >> it's a tragic number. ainsley: if you want to read about the senators or read his op-ed there's one on foxnews.com arguing about joe biden's economic plan how it's inconsistent, outdated and weak senator thanks so much for writing and contributing to fox this morning we appreciate it. >> thank you, i pray for everyone in the hurricane's path. brian: senator i have to thank you too it's national hispanic month, and you gave us some time yesterday for a special. i know how busy you are thanks so much. >> i didn't even play a song for you. brian: i know i couldn't believe it i feel robbed like it was a wasted trip. steve: not too late. >> next time. next time. i appreciate it. ainsley: [laughter] thanks senator. jillian is over there, she has some headlines for us hi jillian jillian: good morning let's begin with a fox news alert because a manhunt accused of two
5:14 am
sheriffs deputies in california intensifies this morning. the reward for information now up to $300,000. overnight a nine-hour standoff with a carjacking suspect near los angeles ending with an arrest. police say he is not connected to the ambush. a destructive wildfire on the west coast is closing in on a california landmark. flames from the bobcat fire coming within 500 feet of mount wilson observatory and firefighters now deployed to protect the building. smoke from the more than 50 wildfires burning across the west now causing the city of portland to have the worst air quality in the world. the smoky haze drifting to the east coast, reaching parts of washington d.c., and new york. >> minneapolis city council members demanding answers as crime spikes across the city. shootings reaching a five-year high, police say there have been 55 homicides so far this year. that's seven more than the 48 homicides reported in all of
5:15 am
2019. so far this year, 400 people have been shot in the city. one councilmember telling the minneapolis police chief, " residents are asking where are the police" the chief says all hands are on deck to come at the violence as the city faces a movement to dismantle the police department. >> baseball inside bubbles. the mlb taking cues from the nba. games will be limited dodgers field an petco park in california and minute maid park in texas and the entire world series will be played at globe life field home of the texas rangers and it's the first time the series has been played at one site since 1944 but so far the bubbles have been working, so we'll see. brian: they are going to get it done at least get through the season. steve: hope so. brian: meanwhile the democrats move to the far left turning off some voters including our next guest who never considered voting for donald trump in 2016 but may now.
5:16 am
she explains why. one day we'll look back and remember the moment that things, for one strange time in our lives, got very quiet. some lost work and invented new ways to get by. others were busier than ever, and found strength they never knew they had. we sheltered with the people who matter most, sometimes finding how far apart we'd drifted. we worried over loved ones, over money, over our planet. and over take-out. and we found a voice one the noise out there had kept quiet. when the world starts spinning again, let's remember this time where none of us felt secure, and fight for a future where everyone can. because when the world seems like it's standing still... that's the perfect time for us to change it.

brian: 48 days until the presidential election one question remains will democrats embrace their far left and sway undecided voters? in a new op-ed our next guest says she "never considered voting for trump in 2016 but she may be forced to vote for him this time because of what she calls the left with lurch of the democratic party joining me is danielle pletka, a senior american fellow at the enterprise institute but see danielle this is the complex thing. joe biden is making himself out to be a moderate supported by his left wing, so how do you to what the real joe biden administration will be like? >> well i have to believe what i see , and that's the challenge
5:21 am
i think for all of us is that for many people the concern is that joe biden isn't really the man he used to be and the democratic party isn't the party it used to be the party has gone to the far left and he's had to accommodate that so what he believes in his heart of hearts is really irrelevant at this point because he represents a party and affection within that party that is really extreme to my mind. brian: and you know, you point out in your column listen you don't love his tweets you don't like some of the crudeness. you don't like the fact that originally came in was pretty critical of nato, but you look at the foreign policy and look at what happened yesterday at the white house and you have such a sense of the world community. you see a lot of positives there >> look, anyone who looks at a peace agreement between two gulf countries and the state of israel shattering 70 years of war and hostility and doesn't
5:22 am
give credit to all the parties involved is just a partisan hack you have to celebrate this not just for israel, not just for u ae, not just for bahrain you have to celebrate this for the united states because the prospect of more alliances and more peace in the middle east a country, an area we have gone to war in every single decade is great news. brian: and you think about this , if joe biden goes in do we go back to rectifying that peace deal, that nine-year deal that expires shortly, do we go back to that and leave israel back out in the wilderness? >> well, biden has said that he intends to return to the jcpoa, the iran deal, and he will wait for iran to make steps but look if the iatolas and iran could vote we know exactly how they would vote. they can't stand trump. iran is in the worst position its been in for 40 years. they want joe biden and they're going to make this deal again to
5:23 am
the detriment not just of israel but of everybody in the region. brian: so you write did you think he's going to be a tele prompter president and somebody else is drafting those words and loading the tele prompter. do you think other people share your concerns? >> sure they do, of course. part of what i said is this environment in which you have to be afraid to say these things, that in fact, you can no longer say i don't trust the democratic party i'm very worried about it. i'm very worried about where they're going without being labeled all sorts of terrible things that should be beyond the pale of rational debate, being called a racist, a hater just because one disagrees, you know, that shouldn't be the nature of debate in our country about the highest office in the land. it just shouldn't be. brian: and danielle do you know what happens? people just shutdown and keep their opinions to themselves and come november 3 they make their decision and just keep it to themselves making polls.

steve: the trump campaign launch ing two new ads shifting the focus of their message from law and order to america's economy. >> donald trump is the jobs president. he helped create millions of jobs, factories returned, african americans, hispanic americans and women saw record gains. steve: well the campaign is investing at least $10 million in new cable and local broadcast ads in battleground states and districts and here to discuss fox news contributor, and former obama economic advisor robert wolf, and a member of he's screen left and a member of the trump white house economic recovery task force, steve moore. good morning to you, steve, screen right. good morning, to both of you. >> good morning. steve: so steve, what's going on it seems like the president's
5:29 am
message on law and order was resonating so why the pivot to the economy which the campaign says will be the defining issue of this election? >> well because i think that the trump people are looking at some of these numbers that are coming out in the economy, steve i mean, in four months we've created 10.5 million jobs that's a pretty darn good record nobody expected a recovery like that and don't forget, steve yesterday, the census bureau came out with its report on the first three years of the trump presidency and what they found is we had a record increase in incomes for all americans, blacks, white, hispanics, asian, every group and a record low. the lowest level of poverty ever recorded in the united states so record high incomes, record low poverty that's a pretty good record in three years. by the way one other quick thing more economic gains in terms of income in one year for black americans, in 2019 under trump
5:30 am
than under eight years under obama. steve: you made it sound so good and yet the guy on the other side of the screen is going to make it seem really bad now, robert it's your turn. >> not really bad. i'm always for us gaining jobs so i want to be clear so there's facts and then not facts. we lost 22.1 million jobs i love how steve always goes the first three years. unfortunately for president trump, he's over 3.5 years, and then the last six months, we've lost 22.1 million jobs, we gained 10 something back, and so we're still negative territory by 55%. you're not even in your own side of the field. i would say number two when they talk about the black and brown community, right now, black and brown community has unemployment and underemployment near 20% so today that's just not factual. properties increased by almost 15-20 million, convictions are up, security is up, and this
5:31 am
super v-shaped recovery that president trump talks about just isn't real. what we have today is a k-shaped recovery. the wealthy has done incredibly well because they own 90% of the stock market and the middle class are closing jobs. we've lost over 100,000 small businesses. i want jobs to be here but that's just not factual. steve: since you just mentioned a sound bite from last night at the town hall out in philly where the president talks about the super v, keep in mind the economy was going great until the pandemic and then we went down and now the indications are to this president that we're going up the other way that's a v or super v as he told george stephanopolos last night. president trump: we're opening up to a super v, because the numbers are fantastic. the employment numbers you look at we hired 10.4 million jobs in four months. that's a record by far. we have every record. retail sales are through the roof. we have every record.
5:32 am
steve: steven is it a super v? >> it's pretty darn good. nobody expected we create all these jobs in four months and it is a safe recovery. the red states with republican governors have low unemployment rates the states like massachusetts, new york, and new jersey and connecticut have the highest unemployment rate howed that happen, robert? >> i'm going to reply to the super v. steve: get to the k part too though. >> almost all the jobs were temporary jobs coming back. you don't have a super v. we went from 4.8 million jobs to 1.7 to 1.4. the trajectory is actually going the wrong way. it's just not factual and you have to look at the data. steve: that's why we call you guys in so we can get a better idea of what both campaigns are presenting to the country. steven and robert thank you very much for joining us we'll see you back here next week. >> thanks steve. steve: meanwhile coming up, deal or no deal, house speaker nancy pelosi refusing to back down on coronavirus relief as president

5:38 am
us live from mobile, alabama bless your heart you've been out there all morning. reporter: we've been out here since about 1:30 or so, it wasn't too bad getting out here as far as i can, i know there's some reports that parts of i 10 that takes you through dolphin parkway, those are a little dicey areas, but as far as where we are we're above sea level but the places that are below sea level, the national weather service told those people you have to get out now, because those are, they are deadly floodwaters is what they are. we'll call it what it is. this is a catastrophic event as far as the floods are concerned in parts of alabama, the panhandle got slammed and pensacola as brian or steve said just a minute ago is completely under water and what's scary about that is when this storm started everybody thought it would hit new orleans and it shifted east. that makes it, you know, people might not have had a chance to
5:39 am
get out if they wanted to get out and that's the one concern, right now, but i will say for the people that i talked to yesterday in parts of alabama , they didn't evacuate. they said that if we got through hurricane katrina, then we're going to be fine with this category 2 but the mobile airport about an hour and a half ago they had upwards of 99-mile per hour wind gusts what you just saw right there but it's not so much the wind gusts it's the deadly flooding that's such an issue. back to you guys. brian: ashley doing a great job all right meanwhile let's go out to janice dean to see what ashley is looking at over the next few hours. hey, janice. >> janice: certainly 70-mile per hour winds in the mobile area, unfortunately because this is such a slow mover we'll see those conditions for the next several hours across across the panhandle of florida and southeastern alabama and then eventually into georgia and the carolinas so we have
5:40 am
weakened the storm a little bit. national hurricane center now has 100-mile per hour sustained winds it was 105 it's still a category 2 though, and it made landfall earlier this morning with winds of 105 miles per hour the rainfall this is incredible and historic for some of these areas, over 24 inches already, with more rain on the way for some of the saturated ground , some of these areas certainly under water especially along the coast the vulnerable coastline, pensacola 80-mile per hour winds 92-mile per hour sustained winds there's mobile 71 miles per hour in some of these stations aren't reporting because the winds have been gust ing for many many hours here so here is the track from the national hurricane center expecting it to weaken but still , creep along, thursday into friday, we're finally getting up towards the western carolinas but in the interim a lot of heavy rainfall for all of these folks upwards of a foot of rain possible, for parts of
5:41 am
the appalachians, the tornado threat will be ongoing we have a tornado warn storm for northeast of panama city so tornadoes with this system especially east of the center of circulation as it moves northward, so the heavy rainfall, the storm surge is still a threat and still, hurricane force winds for many hours, as it is moving to the northwest at only 3 miles per hour, steve, ainsley, brian we'll be focusing in on this throughout the day today. steve: indeed all right j. d., thank you very much. let's bring in california congressman devon nunes ranking member of the house intel committee and the author of an upcoming book called " countdown to socialism" there it is right there he joins us from our nations capitol and congressman, you know, while we're watching the hurricane down south, our hearts and prayers are with the people of your state of california where they've got these historic wildfires that have caused so much destruction and in fact you're on the east coast as we are, people on this coast can actually smell the fire from out
5:42 am
west. >> yeah i was just thinking, steve i'd love to have some of that water that's hitting our folks in the south i'd love to move that to california to help put a lot of these fires out but people need to understand that it's very normal for us to have forest fires. we've had them forever and we get lightning strikes usually in the fall and ill it'll start forest fires but the problem is they become catastrophic because we no longer manage our forests so you get hot weather, the access roads are all blocked and overgrown, the timber industry has been a annihilated it was and that's what's happening out in california, it's very very sad to watch, and it's horrible. i can't tell you i left there a few days ago you couldn't even see the sun it was so bad because of the smoke. ainsley: when you look at the coronavirus deal, nancy pelosi citied she's going to keep all of you all in session until you come up with a deal. the president was asked by george stephanopolos at that town hall yesterday, he was
5:43 am
asked if he would pick-up the phone or meet with nancy pelosi and this is what he had to say. >> will you be calling speaker in? president trump: at the right time yes i would like to see additional stimulus for people that really it wasn't their fault, your fault or anybody's fault it was china's fault. i don't care how you want to define it. this was china's fault and our people shouldn't be hurt and we should do stimulus. we did a lot of it initially, and now they stop because they think it's going to be better for the election. i don't know. >> they say if you'll come up they say they will meet you half way on the money. president trump: we could do something maybe but i'm just hearing for the first time about an hour ago that maybe there is a chance to get something and i'd like to do it. i would like to see it happen. ainsley: what's your reaction to that? what's going to happen? >> well look clearly the poll ing is not going in the speaker's favor that's what's happening here, and the president's exactly right. the president lives down the street at pennsylvania avenue, we're the legislative
5:44 am
branch of government. pelosi has refused to even engage with the republicans in the house. the senate has told pelosi that what she wants to do is not going to work so there's going to have to be some type of compromise and i think the president is exactly right. tell the house of representative s to do their job and tell pelosi to come up with a bipartisan bill if she wants to get a bill and i think there's pressure on her now because they were planning to write covid into the election. biden was going to stay in his basement and they are going to blame trump for it and they thought they are going to win on that but the problem is they've created this monster that they can't control with antifa and bl m and riots we just had as you well know we had two officers shot at point-blank range and they won't condemn it. brian: you canned get kamala harris to visit or make a phone call to see how they are doing as she does work in california i believe full time like you do. >> she was out in my district yesterday i will say but she did the same thing. they run out there and they
5:45 am
blame global warming for these catastrophic fires. it's not true. brian: i thought that was great that gavin newsom said they differ so much on their policies and belief when it comes to taxes but he and the president show mutual respect. don't you think that is the way in which america wants right now you could be democratic, republican but you don't have to get personal. >> i agree with you 150% that's what the american people expect and it's what we should want. the problem is is that we're under attack in this country because of the radical left has made it almost impossible for anyone to get along in this country. they never accepted the results of the 2016 election. i mean, i don't have to tell you guys and your viewers all know. the democrats corrupted our intelligence agencies in this country and spied on the campaign back in 2016 they refuse to acknowledge that they did this , and now we're headed into another election where they never accepted the election of
5:46 am
donald trump. steve: congressman i've got bad news for you i'm sure you heard about a week ago that in the last year more people moved out of california than moved in and in the last couple months elon musk who runs tesla said i'm going to build a new plant not in california i'm going to texas and joe rogan got the $100 million spotify deal and said i'm no going to stay in california i'm going to move to texas and then we saw this tweet from ben shapiro yesterday that said i've lived my entire life in california within weeks we will be taking our 75 jobs and leaving, we're not the first and we certainly won't be the last. terrible governance has consequences. he is moving his business to nashville, tennessee. what is going on with the california exodus? >> well it's a sad state of affairs, you have the most blessed land in the world which is california, but it's one party rule, it's what socialism brings to a government, and so
5:47 am
what you have out there, whether it's the catastrophic forest fires where people blame global warming instead of actually bringing back the timber industry, you've got homeless running around everywhere in california. it's a really difficult place to live, plus the taxes, they're talking about the taxes going up to 15%, and just one final thing they actually just passed last week, they call it the pedophile bill where now, it's not going to be a crime if you sleep with a 14-year-old. this is really bad stuff going on and i hope the american people wake up and understand and that's kind of what my book is about really is kind of a warning. ainsley: your book is called " countdown to socialism" when does it come out? >> it's out now. ainsley: wonderful, pick it up sorry i don't have a copy send me one. >> i'll have to get you guys one. brian: we'll do a whole segment just on the book. ainsley: thanks for being with us. two high school students and sons of first responders briefly suspended from their football team, just for that right think,

ainsley: two high school football players briefly suspended from their team aftercare iting first responder flags out on the field before patriot night, which was on september 11. the game on that night. the flags were honoring their dads, one is a firefighter the other is a sheriff's deputy. the teams have since been reinstated on the team and joining us now are those two students brady williams and jaro d bentley. hey guys thanks for being with us. >> thanks for having us. ainsley: you're welcome okay brady what happened? >> me and jarod we wanted to
5:53 am
carry our flags to honor the first responders who were running from it 19 years ago and we were told no and we kind of took that to heart, and we still wanted to honor them and so we did. ainsley: so jarod what was that conversation like we're told by the school board there's going to be consequences we'll do it anyway? >> yeah, basically. ainsley: what did your dad say? >> my dad liked the idea. ainsley: he's the firefighter and brady your dad is the deputy , right? >> correct. ainsley: so what did they say after the team, after you were suspended from the team? >> there is a big blowup, which obviously you guys have seen. they just said that they were happy for us and stood behind us , they appreciate what we did, and we have a lot of supporters, so -- ainsley: you have a lot of supporters i'm sure the majority of our viewers, jarod what made you want to do this why were you so proud to run out there on the
5:54 am
field? >> because if it was my dad that had died, trying to save those people, i'd want someone to honor him in that way as well ainsley: if your dad had died on 9/11 well that's pretty powerful brady, what was the reason, why would the school board say i understand that if it's something political but this is the american flag. >> so we weren't told no to the american flag because we carry that out every game. we were just told no to the thin blue line and thin red line. ainsley: because they say that's political? >> i can't speak for them. i can only speak for myself, so i don't know why they said no. ainsley: okay so this was the quote from the board of education. they did not obtain permission from district officials to do this school administrators must act when students break the rules and these students were suspended from practice while the incident was investigated. the results show there were no political motivations behind the display of support for first responders on 9/11 but there
5:55 am
were stances of in subordination so jarod what do you say to the critics of you guys who say look these are the rules you got to stick to the rules? >> all right, yeah, we broke the rules, but we did it to honor those who died 19 years ago, so in our eyes we think we did the right thing. ainsley: was it worth it, brady? >> 100%. if i would have had the chance to do it again i would. ainsley: brady what does your dad mean to you? >> he means everything. i look up to hip, i love what he does, i have said since a kid i want to be a more and now i want to be one even more. ainsley: as a parent i'm sure he's smiling right now that's a sweet message. jarod what's your message to your dad? >> that i'm proud of what he does and that i want to be just like him. ainsley: that's really sweet i hope you all know how much your dads sacrifice not only for their family but for our country they are out there protecting us and we're grateful i'm raising a daughter in new york city and the law enforcement officers are heros
