i can't bust on his giants losing again. it was a pleasure talking to you and see you again soon. carley: thank you so much. we appreciate it see you again tomorrow. stay with fox news tore continuing coverage of the midwest tornado outbreak starting with "fox & friends" which starts right now. ashley: have a good day. >> it's going to be the deadliest tornado event in u.s. history. >> residents across the region are now beginning the long road to recovery. >> it's going to take time and i'm telling myself there is no time anymore. >> inflation, record disapproval of president biden. >> starting today new yorkers must mask up all businesses. anyone found in violation could face a $1,000. >> emperor has no clothes. he ha no, sir ability to implement these fines.

>> they sue jussie smollett for all of the overtime charges and resources. >> he needs to pay back that money. nic could see from the very beginning of it that jussie smollett made this up. >> pockets, connecting, taking it all the way for the win. brian: here we go. we start with a fox weather alert. towns are gone the consequence of this weekend's deadly tornado outbreak setting in this morning. >> it's really devastating to have this loss right now. i'm still in shock. i can't believe it's real. >> the death toll likely to top 100 across six different states. the rare december storms leveling hundreds of homes and businesses. >> the manufacturing facility, you would never believe that you would have felt this would have been one of the more safest places to be and, yet, this

storm proved differently. steve: because it was that powerful. meanwhile the federal government deploying resources to the hardest hit areas. >> we have lost far too many of our brothers and sisters. the damage is devastating. brian: all right. we are going to bring you live reports all morning long and start with chief meteorologist rick reichmuth live in mayfield, kentucky. hey, rick. rick: good morning, guys. i'm joined by robert ray a multimedia journalist for fox weather. you have been out here covering this story along with me and crisscrossing town and communities. i want to bring you in here. you also added another perspective. right back behind us here guys, we want to take you on a little bit of a tour of what we're looking at. this right here is a mail truck, robert. the post office is across the corner probably about 75 yards on the other side. >> literally. >> this is just an example of some of the power of these kinds of storms.

but give me your impressions as you have been out in mayfield and in some other towns just down the road? >> yes, draftsman springs i spent most of the day yesterday active search and rescue on the ground there. literally the neighborhoods, emergency workers were in. by the way, it's a town of about 2600 so a lot smaller than here in mayfield which is 10,000. those search and rescue teams on the ground literally sifting through piles of rubble looking for the deceased. there are still missing there neighbors in that area. this is what is so tragic. neighbors standing in the decimation of their homes. nothing left, watching emergency workers go from house to house looking for neighbors that they know that are deceased. the shadow of destruction following these people. rick: i think one of the things that's fascinating when you have storms like this we have all descended on mayfield in kentucky town of 10,000 people.

tornado likely on the ground for 200 miles. it's town after town and farm after farm destroyed by this. not just one spot. >> that's the thing this entire area of western kentucky, rick, is in absolute shambles. town-to-town you look around and people just less than two weeks from christmas going through absolute hell right now. and for those viewers, you know that see these visuals on television, what you have to understand is that when these folks go through a situation like this. some of them quite literally and not to be given antidote here it's true have only the clothes that they left their home or survived the disaster in. i mean, you if if you can imagine that. everything is gone. the shadow of destruction unfortunately is following them right now. rick: a lot of cases their vehicles, also, which makes you much more trapped. >> absolutely. and to be able to comprehend and take in the disaster like this and understand that everything in their life has changed is

phenomenal. but, what i'm seeing mostly on the ground which is just amazing stories of people coming together. the cam rad derly that people give each other. and people from around the country starting to come in and help. so, anyone that's watching in kentucky or any of the other affected zones, please know that as bad and dark as it is right now, you will get through this. and there are people there to help in any way. it's just amazing the power of people right now is exactly what is going to lift up these communities. >> it's really all there is. you saw that yesterday it was sunday morning people coming out for church and that giving them inspiration hey we can rebuild and make it through this. >> that's it. that's it. remember, the shadow of this disaster will follow these people for the rest of their lives. it changes the course of someone's life. for inspirational reasons and other reasons. that's the key for everyone here whether they are emergency workers or residents. day by day you have to take it

and they will. they will. but right now it's so raw still rick. you look around what we are standing unimaginable destruction. just look at this, guys, just phenomenal. this vehicle, rick, was tossed about two football fields from the post office over to here. this is what we see all over mayfield and other surrounding towns. just phenomenal problems. rick: i'm always amazed out here when you look at a vehicle like this that's obviously destroyed but how quickly something looks like it's about 30 years old. >> absolutely, yeah. this is probably, just brand new truck and now destroyed. i mean, and you know the thing is, too. the audio in these disasters, i can hear water coming from pipes from the building behind us. you hear alarms beeping in the distance. and it's crisp and cold and the sun will come up here this morning and people will look around and they are just not going to know what to do again. rick: robert, amazing work you are doing, if you download the fox weather app. livestream of ongoing coverage of this disaster as well and robert is

there doing amazing work. guys, i will send it back to you in the studio. steve: rick, as we watch your coverage from kentucky and look at robert, he is wearing gloves because it's freezing. there are close to 100,000 -- forget about the fact that so many people are living in houses that are not really inhabitable but they don't have electricity. and that means they don't have heat. rick: no electricity. no water. all of that has been turned off in the town. a lot of people don't want to leave their homes. maybe they have pets, maybe they have belongings they are afraid to leave. staying in homes without any heat a lot of cases without a roof, or walls. but still hanging around. >> it's psychological, too. you keep and stay at the place that you know and love. where your memories are. because they don't want to let this go guys, they will rebuild. if they don't, they will push forward. and people will help them. that's the beauty of situations like this. if you can take any good out of it, human beings in america will

help these people. rick: yeah. we always do. we always do. guys? steve: thank you very much. ainsley: look at the images it is just devastating. imagine not being able to get to your pictures or even your loved ones that could be trapped under some of these houses. we saw amazon, so many people were killed there it's a factory in illinois. young people because it's the christmas season so they're trying to get packages out a 26-year-old, a 28-year-old, a 29-year-old, a 34-year-old. 68 and 62-year-old. steve: one of the fellows u.s. vet, father of four kids, he texted his girlfriend 16 minutes before the tornado collapsed the amazon warehouse and he said that the company has ordered him and everybody else don't leave here. you have got stay here until the storm passes and, of course, 16 minutes later the roof was ripped off the amazon warehouse. the walls of amazon warehouse 1t

they were up 40 feet and then the roof came down with such weight. the girlfriend was asked if she faults amazon for keeping him at work and she says not really. but it's that what if situation. what if they would have let him leave, he rkd have made it home in those 16 minutes. amazon this morning is donating a million dollars to the edwardsville community foundation and they are reaching tout families to see how they can support them. brian: jeff bezos under criticism focused on blue origin and latest space launch take that time and look at amazon the descras disaster. ainsley: tweeted out thoughts and prayers were with that family. he was criticized because he was tweeting about blue origin instead of what happened at thinks plant. brian: everyone talking about climate change being the cause of this really amazes me. you can't explain every natural disaster and say well, this is about climate change.

and the "new york post" writes in their editorial today that is no science that backed up a tornado in december is unlikely. and it's not usual but it doesn't necessarily have anything to do with climate change. steve: right now they are trying to pick up the pieces. every day they try to look at for more bodies. the death toll has been hard to track down 6 people killed in illinois, four in tennessee. two in arkansas, two in missouri. the kentucky governor said that remember, a couple days ago said that the death toll would probably approach 100. now they say it could be closer to 50. and they are blaming patchy cell phone coverage has complicated the efforts to confirm the death toll. but, nonetheless, across the region, over 100 are feared dead. ainsley: mayfield a town of 10,000. that's where we are seeing most of these images where rick was. the kentucky candle factory is operated there operates 24/7 during the christmas holiday season so they can get the

candles out and distributed. factory owner says 8 are are dead or missing. fema is calling it a rescue effort not a recovery effort yet. they followed protocol got the majority into the bathroom because there aren't any windows in there and concrete walls so they could be safe. steve: one of the people killed was a jail deputy. a number of the people who work at the candle factory, they were doing a work release program there. and they had actual prisoners inmates. the program was designed to help them get a fresh start on life after jail. the deputy who was killed, a fellow by the name of robert daniel, one of the inmates, a fellow by the name of francisco starks was injured in that. he survived and then they took him to a regional medical center jackson purchase and they said okay, you are better, you can leave so they released him and now the inmate was last seen outside the hospital. they are looking for that guy.

but then again, they have a throat do right now as you can see out there. ainsley: did you see brian and steve, the two churches that came together? two churches next to each other and they are in mayfield first christian church and first presbyterian churn. the first church i mentioned the pastor is going to be on with us later. they surrounded the churches in the parking lot singing and praying together. steve: some of the schools will not be open in western kentucky until january. brian: 12 minutes after the hour. president biden facing lowest approval rating since taking office just about everywhere you look. we will bring in the numbers as the white house struggle to handle multiple crisis cease by putting them on "the tonight show."

carley: we are back with headlines, police identify the victims smash into vehicle during border town police chase. 59-year-old mother and 22-year-old daughter died when a suspect ran a stop sign and t boned the vehicle. apprehended the suspect and illegal immigrants in their car. and kamala harris secures $1.2 billion in private sector investments amgd to address the root causes of the border crisis. senior administration officials say the money could be used to expand central american migrant resource centers. new york city police arrest five suspected picket pocketers in rockefeller center. one suspect has, get this. 37 prior arrests. the suspects face several charges including grand larceny and jostling. and meanwhile new york city mayor bill de blasio declaring the city much safer than when he took office. >> the bottom line is that today in new york city, a much safer city than we were 8 years ago.

the key is to overcome this horrible patch we have had in the covid era all over this country and rebond police and community. >> new york progressives including de blasio are being criticized for polsz that allow criminals to walk free even after committing dangerous crimes. the city of chicago confirming it will sue jussie smollett for the $130,000 spent on police sources to investigate his fake hate crimes. the osundairo brothers who smollett hired to attack him are also set to sue the actor's legal claim over claims damage reputation and careers. last week jury found smollett guilty on five counts of disorderly conduct for falsely reporting hate crime. tom brady setting another record. the greatest of all time scoring his 700th career touchdown pass before beating the buffalo bills

in overtime. >> all year here is he on third and 3 from the pocket. connecting. taking it all the way for the win. carley: brady threw for two touchdowns in the 33 to 267 victory. green bay packers quarterback aaron rodgers throws four touchdowns of his owns a the packers defeat the chicago bears 45-30. l.a. charges quarterback justin herbert launching jaw-dropping 59-yard touchdown pass to help l.a. beat the new york giants 37-21. and the denver broncos honor demareous thomas the former wide receiver died in his home in suburban, atlanta. 33 years old. broncos ended up beating detroit loins 38-10. brian: looks like he had a seizure no one knows what

happened. from scoop r. from the school board to the school board that the white house cares about that's the latest aprooflt polling and it's not good. of all the numbers we could find the brand new abc up sews poll the president is still doing best on covid 5% approval. when you look at the numbers. these are terrible numbers. the biggest one, the most disappointing impacts every one of us is inflation which is close to a 40-year high. ainsley: look at this. 69% disapprove of his inflation of how is he doing on inflation. only 28% approve. gun violence 66% disapprove. only 32% approve. immigration 63% disapprove. 34% approve when it comes to

crime 61% disapprove, 36% approve. and economic recovery, 57% do not approve and 41% do. steve: that last number economic recovery in march when they first took the first poll those numbers were exactly backwards because at that point, it was about 60% approve and now the president has gone down 20 points. brian: he is about dead heat with president trump right now if the election was today. this whole thing is he really is like that old smith barney commercial. he has earned it. almost all of his actions have made things worse. and his messaging from his communications division division. he should fire everybody there jeb psaki does a good job overall the communication has been behind the numbers all the time. they want to focus on things that don't matter to people and try to tell people what they are seeing is not what they are living -- what they're living is not their reality. basically people said well it is and we are going to ignore you from now on. when it comes to handling of

immigration, i am stunned that anybody is happy with this. 63% disapprove. which is scary, that means over 30% kind of like a wide open border where kids are dropped into school systems, almost doubling the size of classes without even telling the principal, the teachers, the supervisors in those schools? steve: right. brian: over 10%. here is joe concha on what it means in the big picture. >> this is an administration who believes they can ignore a problem or lie about and it it will eventually go away. they don't want to do the hard work or answer the tough questions and poll after poll after poll. the american people show they know it and their voices will be heard, believe me in 2022 in the form of a red tsunami in the house and the senate, guys. steve: thank you. was he punishing back to us? it kind of sounds like it. what's interesting about this poll from abc/up sews as we have seen before they polled more republicans than republicans. 29% of the respondents were democrats and 25% were

republicans. 36% were independence. so, in other words, they are giving 4% more democrats to the president to, you know, obviously they are the ones in his lane. one of the other questions is what do you think about mask mandates in your state? 38% say stay about the same. 34% say make them more strict. and 27% say i think it should be less strict. ainsley: really? 27%. i think that number would be higher. steve: that's what it is across the country. ainsley: hillary clinton running for president again. it flips the candidates if he ran against biden biden would get 46% and trump would get 45%. if the election were right now. the survey's margin of error is 2.5%. neck in neck. brian: one of the most outrageous things we should expect at this point the governor of new york decides she wants to wipe our noses and tell us how to live our lives.

she doesn't want to do it. but she has to. give a mask mandate to the entire state. meanwhile, the state is as different from new york city to upstate new york. you could not be more different. it's like comparing texas and iowa. so you have nassau county with 90% vaccination rate. 89% in suffolk county. a city that is 71% vaccination rate. and then you have rockland county with 84 vaccination rate. the governor says i'm going to fine you unless you wear a mask or establishments or workplaces don't. i think it was pretty fascinating to see in rockland they got a call from the executive ed d.a. i want you to redirect the health department staff from vaccination enforcement to mask enforcement. he said no. i'm not going to do it. he does not have it he said that would be reckless. is he not going to do it. and my thing is i hope nassau and suffolk does the same thing. you want to make arms, you make a recommendation. first say get vaccinated don't get a mask. then if vaccinated wear a mask.

numbers ticking up on a variant that gives you mild symptoms. people are making their own decisions. we don't need -- for example, if you own a gym, you now half the people go i want you to wear activistma. the other people say i'm not showing you if you make me wear that mask. if you are that gym owner, what are you going to do. this harlem furniture person furniture told "the new york post." said that's not good for small businesses. can you tell a customer to wear a mask or give them one but you force them to wear them but you can't force them to wear them. and then if some inspector is going to walk in and says 1,000 bucks while the guy sits on a chair in your place. it's so antibusiness. ainsley: leaders say we don't have the resources you want us to go door to door if someone is without a mask in their establishment? we don't have the resources for that right. so some places, i was reading today. some places in new york city won't unlock the doors unless somebody has got a mask on. i'm not going to let you. in some other pleases are like

okay, you want to come, in i will give you a mask but you have got to wear the mask. brian: how is this going to be for business? steve: probably not good. what they worry about is they worry that there will be backlash against the people who are actually asking hey, the rule is, you have got to wear a mask. otherwise, we are going to give. ainsley: even worse in new york city which is where i'm raising my daughter. if your children are not vaccinated. if they haven't had the first shot by december 14th. then they cannot go in an establishment. they can't go in a restaurant. they can't go to the nutcracker. some of my friends spent a lot of money on nutcracker tickets on all their kids and they can't go. brian: can't go to concerts. steve: what's going on, there are a number of republican city and county executives who will not enforce the mask mandate. brian: good. brian: will good. steve: several counties not enforcing the mandate. covid is a real thing.

in niagara county right now, they have 11% positivity rate. and in one small town, on dag go, five people died from covid in the last 24 hours. so they're saying the effort is a work in progress because we don't need to be taking people who can help with the vaccination and instead turn them into covid cops and say hey, you have got to close your doors because you didn't require a mask. brian: virginia gave everyone a big message in new jersey you cracked down, you took the power away from people, and they almost lost the governorship in new jersey because he was totally irrational and in virginia we saw what happened there as turn to republican to use some rational thought when it comes to this pandemic. we are two years in. we get it we make our own decisions. you have underlying conditions, you are a senior, get your booster shot. do what you are supposed to do. you don't need some governor who wants to outliberal a mayor leaving anyway to go show how

liberal you are or how concerned you are in order to win a primary. that's what this is about. steve: this will be the rule of the state of new york until january 15th. ainsley: then she is going to reassess. here in no, people are mopg when blast is out of here that the rules will change that eric adams will relax some things we will see. brian: he says use the honor system according to staffer. steve: got a feeling leave it on the books, such as it is and they won't enforce it exactly. ainsley: 6:28 on the east coast. stay tuned for continuing coverage of that tornado devastation in six different states. how one fire department managed to respond to calls as the roof of their station was ripped off by the storm. steve: plus, she has been one of the harshest critics of andrew cuomo after losing both her in-laws to covid-19 in nursing homes. our own janice dean will respond to reports the governor's allies were trying to discredit janice

many communities still without power and, of course, grieving of the loss of loved ones and really the effort out here, will continue for months and months on end. steve: you are right about that. nicole, thank you very much for the live report. meanwhile, the fire department in truman, arkansas, the fire department itself directly hit by one of the tornadoes with the storm ripping off the roof of one of the station's buildings but that did not stop the firefighters from quickly responding, jumping into action and rescuing nine people trapped in confined spaces. here with an update on the city's recovery. arkansas fire chief r eb keeper. the tornado rips the roof off the fire station how do you get the fire truck out. >> you just drive them out. steve: that's what you had to do. there was such chaos. how much warning did you have that the twisters were bearing down on truman? >> we had a little bit of a warning. we were able to send it out

ahead when the tornado struck. we have been preparing for the storm since thursday afternoon. steve: what you wound up doing is had all these confined space rescues where that is just what that means is stuff fell on people, but nobody died in truman. your people were able to get the person out from a water hearing that came flying and crushed them. family and daughter they were critical. the paramedics on our side the firefighter paramedic able to crawl into the debris tile and start some a list care and using residential doors as spine boards. steve: unbelievable. were you able to get the warning out how many times ahead of sometime because i know at one instance, you have got a rescue

call from the nursing home and the worry was if the nursing home was struck, that could be a mass casualty event. >> yeah, absolutely. we had about 8 minutes after the sirens were started before it structure city limits of true mann we had mass quarantine bus go to the we had a triage center set up at the. it was flawless. steve: the thoughts and prayers of the nation to everybody that's been impacted. chief, how can folks watching right now help people in trumann arkansas and people throughout the region. >> donations and things going to our sports complex and trc building. we will have a large citywide

janice: not surprised at all early on i heard from a source who knows the family well to watch my back. this was before any of the real press coverage, the hundreds of podesta i wrote all of the appear appearances that i did on fox news, he told me watch your back. and then as a party cuomo's henchmen attacking not only me but my sister-in-law on twitter. said get a life called us a death cult this was in motion. this is how they react. they don't try to solve anything, they just attack the person that's coming after them. brian: this is in letitia james' report a democrat attorney general. janice: we don't know that yet if this was in the report. i don't know where these sources are coming from. i do hear chris cuomo was sending texts to melissa derosa about me. and i wonder if that was on cnn letterhead.

brian: the weather b. word. listen, i'm not surprised but what i'm doing is issuing foia reports, freedom of information law to find out if my name or my family's name is in any of those official documents. i want to know if there was a smear campaign against me. brian: you say you are not stopping? janice: no, of course not. i have come this far. i will continue to hold these people accountable. we still don't know what happened in nursing homes, why the governor put over 9,000 infected patients in the nursing homes. why did he cover up those numbers for so long to sell his $5.2 million book. why was he giving his brother and other officials free covid tests when nursing homes could not get them to save lives? there is a whole bunch of things still under investigation. brian: by the way, if you have some time other democratic governors did crazy things with nursing homes, too. janice: there were several of them. brian: here is what the spokesperson just said about what we discussed. said i have no knowledge of this ever happening and you must ask why then did the attorney general not put anything about her in the report or ask any of

the relative. janice: i already know the answer to that the property was about the shower. sexual harassment not about nursing homes. janice dean is not a credible source on anything but maybe the weather. brian: unbelievable. we reached out to cuomo no response. janice: no one is denying anything. brian: no response is a response. meanwhile, your sister-in-law was on "fox & friends first" which is a very good show. janice: it is. brian: talking about how she is trying to find some good in this. let's listen. >> last christmas i have been doing this with another group of women who lost their mothers or dads in facilities we got together and we did it for christmas. and it was great. valentine's day next holiday, one of the administrators called me from one of the facilities we donated to. she said the best thing was that she heard laughter coming from the room. and she said she hadn't heard laughter in about a year. so once i heard this it just -- it was like it inspired me to do

more. brian: to donate to operation gift force seniors go, operation gift for seniors.org. >> the other stuff makes me so angry, this brings me to tears because my sister-in-law is one of the best people i have ever met and she is turning her grief into joy for others who are still here. brian: exactly. if people want to donate to seniors? >> yeah. operation seniors the mickey and dee foundation. brian: fantastic. it's not over. i cannot believe the aftermath. can you imagine if he was still in power? that's what i think about, thank goodness. janice: thank goodness they are not. brian: a lot has to do with you thank goodness for what you did. janice: thanks to "fox & friends." if it wasn't for this platform i don't know that i would be sitting here today. brian: i would rather you do the weather and happier thing. janice: you know i adore you. brian: thank you so much. back at you. last week i was in texas and oklahoma. last week of my book tour.

newtown, i hope everyone joins me in cincinnati ohio and dayton ohio with the president and the freedom fighter tour go to brian kilmeade.com. friday, has something to do with nashville well, we will tell you about it tomorrow. thanks, janice. janice: you are amazing. dr. oz is challenging dr. fauci calling on biden's top covid adviser to be held accountable for misleading congress. dr. oz is getting fired up with us. but, first, it's day one of our 12 days of giving. we are going to pawsome charity that places service dogs with disabled children. hi susan! honey? yeah? i respect that. but that cough looks pretty bad... try this robitussin honey. the real honey you love... plus the powerful cough relief you need. mind if i root through your trash? now get powerful relief with robitussin elderberry.

catastrophically injured members. fallen first responder family. >> rogers caught. touchdown. rogers and a long throw, touchdown. there it is. touchdown. rogers comes back to the left and he is in to the end zone again. [thunder] ainsley: we start this morning with a fox weather alert. towns are literally gone. people are picking up the pieces following this weekend's tornado outbreak. >> we are going to try to get everybody out in the city and really start going through the debris piles and clean up homes and streets and driveways and looking for the next steps, you know, to get this thing back going. steve: indeed, the death toll likely to top 100 across six states as rescue and recovery efforts continue. meanwhile, the federal government deploying resources to the hardest hit areas. and there are plenty of them. >> we have lost far too many of our brothers and sisters.

the damage is devastating. brian: yep, we have fox team coverage starting with chief meteorologist rick reichmuth who has been there and is there in mayfield, kentucky. i guess the sun is still down but you have an idea of what's behind you? rick: yes, this right here is a residential area. can you get an idea from this home completely destroyed. you get the markings on the side of the buildings, they immediately go through every house and search and make sure that people are out of here or if there is anybody who needs to be rescued. that's what you see by these markings right here on the side of this wall. you get the idea we are looking inside to these people's house right here. dining room table right there. the wall of their dining room off here on the ground. and it looks like something that has been dilapidated for years and years. all of this damage happening in probably a span of 30 seconds. now, this town in mayfield has taken a lot of attention, a town of about 10,000 people. about a mile and a half from

here on the other side of town is that candle factory that took that direct hit and had so many people who were trapped in there. and a number of fatalities. last night on sunday night with trey gowdy he talked with the ceo of this candle factory. take a listen of what some he had to say. >> we are dedicated to stay in this community. i grew up in this community. just to the right of me is the church that i grew up in, which is totally almost leveled as well. and we're an integral part of this community and employer in this community. we are going to stay that way and do everything possible. >> you know, yesterday, we went from here up to paducah. people are sending food down here, what you always see in these events, the community gathering around here in west kentucky these are people very proud. proud of this town of mayfield and some people born here

continue to live here and vowing that they are going to rebuild. one of those is a minister from that church right there that the ceo was talking about. he is going to be coming up on the show at 7:30 talking about their role in building this community and bringing this community together. they certainly have a long road ahead of them guys. it's going to take years to rebuild this town. but they have vowed certainly they are going to do that. brian: rick, how much warning did everybody have? >> there was a 25-minute warning, a tornado warning that was issued 25 minutes before for the town here. that said they ended up three minutes before calling it a tornado emergency. they do that when they know that there is going to be catastrophic damage. they had a 3-minute warning and just to put this into context that night. there had been seven tornado emergencies in the state of kentucky since 1999. that night there were 8 tornado emergencies declared for this tornado that cut over a 200-mile path. steve: unbelievable, as bad as

the devastation is there, you know, i grew up in kansas, we had tornadoes all the time but they hardly ever actually hit a town. in these cases they were on the ground so long invariably wound up grinding up a lot of towns. >> that's it. if a tornado happens in a pasture or field it doesn't mean as much. this one for the most part, went right through downtown mayfield. so, residential areas, obviously we're in a residential area just right on the outside of downtown here. taking this kind of a hit. but if you go, you know, maybe 40500 yards farther down from here, absolutely nothing is touched. but this tornado in this town of mayfield cut right through the business center and that means all of your pharmacies, your banks, your post office, a lot of the stuff that people need to sustain life here was what got completely damaged. including also three of the big churches here in this town that are all right in the downtown area all completely damaged.

ainsley: i know, rick, when you found out about this, you got the call to go and you went immediately over the weekend. how was it driving through those roads? are they passable? are you able to get -- is it easy to get where you are or was it hard? rick: yeah, no, it wasn't that hard to get here. about a two hour drive nashville to the closest airport. for the most part that was all fine. the first thing they have to do when a storm comes through, a tornado comes through, clear the roads. you have to be able to clear the roads so you can get rescue vehicles in to get to the people. they do that quickly. by the time we got here on saturday night all of the roads were completely passable. that's that first primary work that had to be done and they did a very quick job on it. steve: you said they got the 20 minute warning and then the 3-minute warning in an instance like that. you are supposed to, the conventional wisdom is you get underneath the strongest part of your house it, might be a door frame or worst case scenario you get into your bathtub it doesn't

look like enemy of those houses in this part of kentucky had basements. rick: yeah, i have not seen a lot of how fasts with basements. that's a great point. that would generally be the safest place you could get to. past that you want to get as many walls between you and the outside. oso get to the inner most point of your house where you have got a number of walls between and no windows, that's generally the safest place that you can be and cover yourself up maybe with a mac tritt or signature like that from any other debereavement you get the idea. that point, steve, is really well made here. the outer walls of this house right here. falling out. the inner walls still standing,. steve: must be something to that. ainsley: i know samaritan's purse is sending a group out there to help. i'm sure the red cross sought there as well. thank you so much, rick, give them our best. they are in our prayers. steve: in dawson springs, kentucky i was reading in one of the local papers this morning that jackie and doug coon and three kids were at her mother's house when the tornado hit.

they all went -- they were sheltering in the bathroom. because they felt that was strongest part inside room. as the roof flew off the house, they were sucked out of the bathroom all of them, all five of them to another part of the house. ainsley: are they okay? steve: they are alive. they cannot believe they survived being picked up by the tornado and thrown into another part of the house. ainsley: i heard a 5-month-old baby was killed. a 3-year-old. another 5-year-old was killed. children, you know, it's just devastating. they are thinking that the death toll could exceed 100 in all of these states in six states. brian: i think it's like 94 where we are at right now. i think it's important people are already starting to clear the roads and people get nervous and saying wait to identify get an insurance claim. that's true what i found is you can tape it because it's going to be very hard for these fema agents to get to every house. so if you could get your iphone out and tape the damage show everyone where it was,

where it stood. tape yourself holding pictures of where it was. that would work. fema people will accept it there is not just not enough inspectors to go and evaluate analysts or adjustors the word is not enough adjustors to go to each and every home so just help them out. they have to accept it meanwhile in illinois, six people confirmed dead after a tornado destroyed this amazon warehouse. ainsley: that includes 26-year-old cargo driver austin mccune described by his friends and co-workers as the light never room that he walked into. steve: his friend emily innerson is also an employeeee at the amazon warehouse but was not at work when the tornado hit. >> good morning, how are you steve doing okay. i'm sure you have said to yourself a million times i could have been in there that night. >> yeah, i definitely could have.

i almost picked up a shift because i have had an ankle injury lately and last minute i didn't. ainsley: tell us what happened. do you have any details. you went to the amazon warehouse when austin was missing the next day. tell us what you saw and what you think happened to austin? i went to the warehouse the next day i went to the you are warehouse searching. his girlfriend was on. his mother had not heard from him either. she had actually gone i was at the wares house one of his best friends. he got the call of two hours waiting to hear anything. >> the way it reads. looks like that building was built pretty sturdy.

must have been a sense that you were in the right place, correct? >> well, i wasn't at the warehouse that night. brian: i know. did you get the sense that was a sturdy building that you would be safe there. >> yes, i did. i did get the sense that i was safe there it's very bizarre and devastating to think that may friend didn't make it out. i would like to make very clear, actually, that i am really quickly just here to honor my best friend austin mcewen. i would like to say very quickly the names of the other five victims. steve: please do. >> so here in illinois it's devastating tragedy but i do want to include 28-year-old

diondre s. morrow, 62-year-old kevin d. dickey. 29-year-old clayton lind coke. 4 itheria hebb and austin mcewen. ainsley: most in 20's and early 30's. so devastating for families a week or two before christmas. tell us what austin was like. we know how it is to have best friends at work. what was he like? >> he was one of the most caring and down to earth people that i have ever met, you know, has a huge string of jobs but amazon there is a close knit group of us about four of us that we have and austin was the backbone to

this group. it's going to be devastating without him. i i hope i'm doing family proud right now you by giving enough details about him. momma mccune if you are watching this, i hope that you are proud. he was just, like you said, the light in ever single room that he walked into. steve: that is really nice of you to say. a go fund me has been set up. the goal is $30,000 to help the family with funeral expenses. i'm looking at the site right now. they are up to 21,000. so they are still looking for $9,000 to help this family. ainsley: wow. go ahead, emily. >> i said please do. please go, you know, help out and donate anything you can to that go fund me. ainsley: he looks so happy in all these pictures. i was reading he picked up a shift friday night and returning the work van back to the station when the tornado hit. >> yeah. so that is pretty much, you know, the protocol whenever we get done delivering we bring

work vans back to the station and he was doing that when the tornado hit right around 8:38 p.m. and the last time anyone heard from him he was a little upset because he was being told to go to the storm shelter that we had. he was done for the night. of course he just wanted to go home. yeah. he didn't. brian: so he went to the storm shelter? >> yes. yes, sir. ainsley: we were told that your bosses told you are not allowed to leave. is that accurate? >> woe were not allowed to leave until everyone was assured safe. myself was not there the dispatcher i was in contact with the entire time was. he was confirming that no they could not leave until they were safe -- or was sure that the

building was safe enough to exit. steve: emily, once again, thank you for joining us as we look at the devastation at the place where you had worked a it's closed now, right? >> yes, for right now. as far as we know. at least for the next couple of weeks. we will know more then but we are absolutely can closed for the time being. steve: indeed. once again, if people would like to donate to the go fund me page for austin mcewen go to foxandfriends.com and we will link to the exact go fund me site. emily thank you for joining us. >> thank you so much. ainsley: we are sorry for your loss. >> thank you for letting me have the chance to get my friend's story out there. steve: you did a good job. ainsley: you did. he was lucky to have you as a friend. steve: emily, thank you. brian: go over to carley shimkus 5 minutes after the hour. you have other news. carley: tragic stories all over the country.

because what happens, i came from the inner city. i came from a neighborhood where there were criminals and thugs. and if the laws were as lenient then as they are now, you would be talking to a criminal now. you would be talking to a thug because my role models weren't doctors and lawyers. my role models on the corner were criminals talking about scores that they made. i went to the army when i was 17 years old. i went -- when i was 18 i was in the far east for a year. i learned more in the army i went back to the neighborhood and thugs were still talking about crimes, petty crimes that they did. what mayor lightfoot doesn't realize and kim foxx doesn't realize and this is not about

me. what happened at my leadership is not about me. i don't want pity. brian: what tonight they realize, joe? >> what they don't realize is they are harvesting criminals i feel sorry for the kids that hate them. i have feel sorry for them. they have a life of crime. only thing they can do to make a living is come back and rob somebody. come back to the neighborhood and role models and get kids. those kids were probably 17 or 18 years old. they are hijacking cars. they they need a car and want a job. instead of going out and getting a job and making statements. they stick a gun in someone's head and they take their car. brian: and there is no hell to pay. you don't pay for your crimes anymore. >> i'm telling you i never realized how much outrage there was around the country. i have been getting calls this

our town is resilient. our town is tough. i know that we can do it. but how we do it, we are in unchartered waters. i know it's going to ache lot of money and energy and manpower. it's devastating and i'm sure y'all have the drone footage to see. it's like nothing i have ever experienced. >> how can people help who he are seeing all of these terrible images? >> there is no doubt prayer is the most powerful thing in the world. second, money. unfortunately, we can't do it without that i think that if we could find a way to get those donations here, i think it would be an awesome. i know we set set up a website. >> thank you, troy, send our condolence to us and employees and entire community of mayfield, ainsley, as they try to rebuild from this. something that is hard to imagine hitting your community and having to think about rebuilding at this point. there is a lot to wrap your head

around. as you heard from troy, they are already thinking about that because you have got to focus on the positive and what's next. ainsley: grady, give him our best. we are definitely praying for everyone involved there. thank you for that report. meanwhile may feemed, kentucky worshipers gathered for sunday supervisors in a parking lot after their church was destroyed. >> there are people who have gathered here today who have lost their homes, who have lost loved ones, there are people who have not heard from their family and loved wins and have been so worried. we will just simply pull together and find ways to grieve, celebrate, to locate, and to care. >> pastor milton west senior minister of church in kentucky and he joins us now. good morning, dr. west. >> good morning. >> tell us where you were friday night when you learned that your church was damaged and tell us how bad the damage is. >> like most people in the area,

we were in a safe space in our homes. around 9:30 friday night i got a telephone call from a colleague of mine in town that told me that not only church had been leveled but his church the first presbyterian church had been severely damaged. of course we were sick with worry all night long, but as soon as daylight hit on saturday morning, we drove over and as quickly as we could. and it was just -- you just couldn't comprehend what it was like. but, we gathered together, the few that we could, we tried to gauge whether or not the building was safe. and i guess the greatest testament to faith is despite everything in our sanctuary being destroyed, our communion table, which i see you are showing pictures of right now, survived unscathed. and our goal today, if it's safe enough, is we are going to try

to retrieve that from the sanctuary and move it to a safe location so we can preserve it for our future. ainsley: that's beautiful. looks like a cross on top of the table that also survived. >> absolutely. ainsley: i know it was important for you to go on and have a service on sunday and you did that, i believe, a joint service with first pres. tell us why that was important. >> our people needed to come together. they needed to start the healing and grieving process. they needed to do it in a community, a christian community setting. and we always try to gather whenever we absolutely possibly can. we had communion yesterday. and that is essential to how we worship every sunday. so we made sure that we gathered and it gave our people an opportunity not only to be together but to see this building, that is so special to all of us. ainsley: yes, sir. dr. west, what is your message to those who did lose loved ones a few weeks away from christmas.

and what is your message because i know through situations like this, some people start to lose their faith. >> you know, i think the first thing is, we should never over interpret a situation like this. we should never attribute disaster and loss to god. what we need to always do is find the higher ground and look for ways to grow rather than be defeated. you know, it is always something interesting to recall that you know, when christ was born, he came at a time of great turmoil. and out of that turmoil we found -- receive the foundation of our christian faith. so that being said, out of all of this, i think what people can see is an opportunity to rebuild, they will grieve, we will try to retrieve those things that are a part of our history, but now, you know, the church, these people will live on and we are concerned about making sure that there is a

legacy of faith here. this building is a sacred space to us but the churn, the individuals, the people, that's what matters the most. ainsley: yes, sir. >> what is your website because there are a lot of people that might want to send you a offering. >> we are on give aphi.com. giving app. no fee. if you will type in first christian church mayfield, kentucky you will see a picture of the building before it was destroyed and you can follow the directions on the online app. ainsley: dr. west, we are prays for you have all. i'm sorry for your loss. i know with god's help you will rebuild. >> thank you so much. we appreciate the opportunity to get our message out. ainsley: you are welcome. thanks for what you do. vice president harris' approval ratings are down and her staffers are leaving. but she is still denying reports of dysfunction in her office. former speaker of the house newt gingrich is going to join us live to react. insurance.

>> devastating new poll for president biden shows a growing number of americans disapprove of handling of every major issue, including covid, inflation and gun violence. >> fox news contributor newt gingrich is the author of beyond biden, he joins us right now with reaction. newt, good morning to you. >> good morning. >> so, and there is your book right there. >> early merry christmas. steve: indeed, we are getting in that part of the calendar. so, newt, the president's poll numbers are in the wrong direction. and, yet, today i was just looking at punch bowl, apparently push build back better which is essentially all this government spend something what has gotten us to this 40 year inflation. >> country understands more spending increases the inflation rate. the numbers last month were the worst in 40 years. that means if you are a working american or you an american you

are paying. >> morgan: gasoline, more for rent, more for food. it is a direct assault on the standard of living of most americans here's the problem if you are biden and pelosi and schumer. you pay off everything before the catastrophe hits. people trying to build a beach on the house while a tsunami is coming. trying desperately to finish the house. wave gets bigger every week. i'm amazed by it. it will be very interesting to see if joe manchin caves because what you are seeing a network of political power in washington against the entire rest of the country. cinema stood outside of that network are you guys crazy? the pressure builds every week to go out and pass something and

whether -- i think that's where they're at. so i think it's going to get worse, not better. >> cbo came out and blew up the whole plan. says it's going to cost much more than they are saying. fake cbo report. are you kidding me? so, joe manchin has got cover. he knows where the momentum is. so does kyrsten sinema eerily quiet lately. knows where the momentum is and now got the cbo to lean on. >> look at the 20 or 30 or 40 hours democrats who are in very marginal districts. there are 57 house democrats who won by smaller margins than the new jersey state senate president who was defeated by a candidate with $2,300. so if you are one of those 75 house democrats, i'm amazed that nancy pelosi says to all of them, you know, being kneecapped by me this week is certain, losing next year is possible. now, which one do you want? and they just fall in line and they vote for stuff that they cannot possibly defend back home. ainsley: kamala harris sat down

with hometown newspaper the san francisco chronicle and asking her about the dysfunction, there are rumors there are dysfunction. she has had several staffers leave. brian: she mass no staff left. ainsley: she was asked about this is what she said. if something is coming to me, it's because it needs to be addressed and by definition it's not going to be easy. if it was easy, it would have been handled before it comes to me. is that a good answer for that question? she doesn't really address it. >> lock, if you are incompetent dysfunctional person being asked why you are incompetent and dysfunctional is a. most can you do is laugh about it which is her normal answer. she doesn't have a clue about what's goings on and the country going to realize we have a president that may or may not know what's going on and a vice president who doesn't have a clue. that's pretty scary. steve: newt gingrich joining us

live from the d.c. area. thank you very much. >> thank you. brian: looking to getting beyond biden it looks like. ainsley: that's the name of his book. 7:47 on east coast. check in with janice dean for fox weather forecast. janice: we have been talking about the tornadoes over the weekend. >> the historic outbreak over seven states and the preliminary reports we're getting at least ef-3 damage in some of those areas in kentucky. they will be on scene today going through and seeing how strong the winds were. take a look at the maps and i will show you what is happening today. there is your forecast 53 in new york, 59 in kansas city. 50 in chicago. so that warm air is come in. we do have our next system that's going to move into the west. bringing epic amounts of snow and coastal rain. flash flooding is going to be a concern we will see feet of snow and this energy is what could bring the potential for more severe weather on wednesday. so we'll keep you up to date. fox weather.com by the way for all your latest watches and warnings. they did great work over the weekend. a lot of people were warned in advance, so if you download it

steve: more fallout for dr. anthony fauci who claimed the nih never funded gain of function research >> you continued to say you trust the chinese scientist and until you accept responsibility we're not going to get anywhere close to trying to prevent another lab leak of this dangerous sort of experiment. you won't admit that it's dangerous and for that lack of judgment i think it's time you resign. >> it makes me very uncomfortable to have to say something but he is egregiously incorrect in what he says. thank you. >> history will figure that out steve: our next guest says it's time for dr. fauci to lose his job. republican senate candidate from the great state of pennsylvania dr. mehmet oz joins us right now from pittsburgh. dr. oz, good morning. >> good morning to you, you know, i think dr. fauci has to

be held accountable and it's not just because of the gain of function semantics that he was dealing with senator rand paul on but it's also because he has problems just explaining to america why we have so many deaths and illness that has hurt our country more than other countries. i think he's lost the trust of a lot of americans because of mandates and what we don't understand what the true benefit of these mandates are lots of what i'm seeing were argued that it's disproportionately small much less than we would have expected but also we politicized the entire process and you mix politics and medicine and you get politics and he's supposed to be a medical support system to the federal government. steve: well, he has become a polarizing figure to a lot of people. meanwhile, apparently, so have you. have you heard what the philadelphia inquirer, you're running for senate in pennsylvania. the philadelphia inquirer will no longer refer to dr. oz as dr. oz. here's the quote. after the inquirer ran doctor in its headline, the paper's style committee determined that doing

so was the wrong call. going forward, the inquirer determined that it will refer to all candidates in the same way which means that while oz maybe referenced as a celebrity doctor , dr. oz will be limited mentions of his tv show, which is now off the air in philly. it doesn't sound like they're trying to help you. >> no, they're not. they are putting their thumb on the scale. here's the thing such an enthusiastic response to the campaign. i'm in pittsburgh talking to people and it makes me optimistic because they have great ideas. meanwhile the inquirer hates that i'm empowering you and hates that i'm taking on some of the established folks, hates that the entrepreneurial solutions might make sense and they don't like i see what i see so they want to silence me and i'll tell you it is shocking it would make them that uncomfortable this early in my campaign but it's reflective of the movement we represent. steve: well they are trying to cancel you. i saw your twitter that's what you said. >> and twitter response that i posted back got a huge response because people see it. i mean, you can't look away.

why would the inquirer get involved in this process and not want to call me dr. z. everyone knows i'm dr. oz but they don't think it's the right thing to do they think it gives me an unfair advantage. i think what gives me an unfair advantage is we have better ideas we are actually hearing people letting them express themselves and just calling it what it is which is it's just not working. what we're seeing in front of us americans are in a rut much caused by covid and over- regulation and over- response and authoritarian reaction. steve: we've been calling you dr. oz coming up on 20 years we won't stop now. dr. oz thank you very much for joining us live from pittsburgh. >> god bless. steve: we're coming up on the top of the hour, more fox fox & friends and the very latest from kentucky.

i know that we can do it. brian: meanwhile the federal government now readying resources deploying to the hardest hit areas. >> we have lost far too many of our brothers and sisters. the damage is devastating. steve: it is indeed. chief meteorologist rick reichmuth is live in mayfield, kentucky with some of the very latest, and rick, you know, yesterday, it sounded like we just saw the governor of the commonwealth of kentucky talk a little bit and yesterday, through the weekend they were thinking that the death toll in kentucky itself could be up to 100 but now they're saying maybe they got some bad information and it might only be 50, which is still a jaw dropping loss of life. >> yeah, and i think those numbers are fluid for a while. one of the reasons is because the tornado, this specific tornado that cut through may field was likely on the ground for over 200 miles, hitting a number of towns, there's still search and rescue efforts going on, still a lot of people unaccounted for so that

number is fluid for a while but certainly let's hope and pray that number is lower than initially feared. i'm standing on one of the corners here in what was a building i believe this was a law office. now it appears to me that probably they have come through and started cleanup, maybe bulldozed this a little bit, but steve, last hour, we were talking about getting into that center point in your house, or wherever the building is you're in. take a look at this right here. this wall, there's a little room right here, this would have been one room inside the center of this building that remained intact and that's why we say put as many walls between the outside and you as possible, because you can get into those inner rooms and maybe that ends up still standing, and it looks to be the case here. obviously, you know, when you come out here and you look as far as i can see , there's damage. this is the residential area back here, completely destroyed. it goes on and on as far as your eye can see. i want to bring in steve elder,

right now, steve, you're from this town. >> yes. rick: you live just a couple blocks that way. >> i do just over by the high school. rick: i want to give context for us and for our viewers. you're from here, you were in your home hunkered down, tell us about that experience, how long it lasted and what it felt like. >> you know, we were watching our local news and it was, they said mayfield it's coming for you and when they said that, we knew they were serious and that we needed to get into our basement that we had, so it wasn't probably 20 minutes later that's when the storm came through, my sister-in-law had picked up her daughter, my niece , and came to the house because they didn't have a basement and they stopped by and when i let her in the door, it wasn't 30 seconds after that that it had just came through and you could hear it. it was just terrible going through the town and we ran down to the basement and my house was

safe. just again, just a few blocks over and you can look and see all the destruction this way so it's just so sad and devastating. rick: what did that feel like in that moment when you were hear ing that noise? >> you know, i said this , it felt like death was coming for you. that's what it felt like, and sounded like. it sounded evil, and it was the most scary moment in my life it just was. i hope to never have another experience like that and the people that had completely lost their homes, our hearts just go out to them all. rick: you're from this area, born about 10 miles away from here. this tornado, obviously, you had a long path. there's a lot of towns not just mayfield, this is the biggest town that had the direct impact, but obviously we're in a residential area where all these people lost their homes but so much of your business district is gone. what do you do with the town, do you have any idea what you guys do now? >> no, i mean, we don't.

it's sad to see the historical perspective of our town that's just destroyed. the 200-year-old churches that were cut in hovel, the courthouse that we've gone by and taken a million pictures of the courthouse over my lifetime and it's just completely utter destruction. i hope, i hope, that we find a way to preserve and rebuild in a way that we'll rededicate the square to our history. rick: tell me about people you know in the community, how they're feeling, and what you guys need right now. >> you know, i'm amazed at the resiliency of our community and the people that are helping. the first day, it did look like we were kind of zombies walking around just trying to get a grasp of the shock, but now, everybody is helping. everybody is pitching in. the local and county governments are doing well. people were sourcing generators, trying to raise funds through our community foundation, and so

the tornado took our buildings and knocked things down, but it hasn't taken our hope, hasn't taken our spirit and we're going to get through it. we just will. rick: you mentioned the community funds you're trying to raise money. tell us about how maybe our viewers if they want can help out? >> yes the mayfield community foundation, there's a link on a gofundme right now that's getting a lot of traction so if you can give $5 that would go a long way. we also have an account setup at our local community bank, first kentucky bank, that will receive funds as well, so every little bit helps. rick: the need is great but the american people are greater, and always come to support communities like this. >> absolutely we seen support all across the country, all across the world, and we couldn't be more appreciative of how people coming together and help out western kentucky. rick: steve, thank you so much. best of luck to you. our thoughts and prayers remain with you. all right, guys, send it back to you. steve: so rick, it looks like

everything is leveled behind you , but i think to your right, there's like a five or six or seven story brick building, and it looks like it's untouched. rick: yeah, it's not untouched. the roof is gone, and on the other side of it, all of the windows are out, but steve, tell me what that building is that we're looking at right there. >> the tall building is the hotel, that's one of the greatest buildings that's been here, and it served a lot of different purposes, but it's amazing that it stood, but the roof is, you know, kind of completely taken off and we've never seen that building touched and any kind of storm we've ever had, and it's just remarkable. rick: yeah, and it's kind of, steve, that random nature of tornadoes. tornadoes are different maybe than hurricanes where huge areas are wiped out, tornadoes cause such extreme destruction, but you can be in a house that's untouched and your neighbor's house can be completely wiped off.

this right here in downtown, you're really great in seeing that building, steve. the larger part of the building is still intact but i can tell you that every other building around it i shouldn't say there's one other building that i've seen here that a taller building that also seems largely intact but aside from that, i can't find any building in downtown that isn't destroyed. no, they all are. and that, i don't know if we'll be able to save that or if that will come down but that's the tallest building in the downtown district and all the other buildings that were smaller right beside it were completely destroyed. rick: steve, great point but that's how downtown mayfield is. brian: rick, quick question. have they come through and started pushing everything to the side or is that exactly how the tornado left it? rick: to be honest with you i'm not sure right in this spot. i can tell you that they immediately came in and cleared roads yesterday, bulldozers were in pushing stuff farther off and

a lot of the buildings that are down i can tell you for sure if you look past here a little bit that's not been touched, maybe people have gone through and sorted for some personal belongings and such, but at least along the roads, the buildings that were completely damaged, they've gone through and seen what they could gather but they are starting now to push so that they can start to gather that debris and clear stuff out and then begin that next phase of this process. it happens really quickly after these storms, they do a great job getting in here but that work is definitely beginning. ainsley: rick it's amazing that in the middle of all of that destruction those books still stayed on the shelves. when you talked to the folks there, are most of them, what do they do in a situation like this if you have a huge heap of rubble that's left behind, do you just clear that out or are people actually going through the heaps of rubble and looking for pictures and things that are there's? steve: looking for people. rick: and for people. you know, this tornado was so strong, there's photos and such from mayfield that have been found in indiana, over 150 miles

away. this debris gets picked up into the air with the tornado and there was debris about 35,000 feet in the air that flies for hundreds of miles, so people's belongings are found very far from where the storm hit. that said, there's a restaurant in town here that is completely demolished and yesterday i saw a lot of people digging through, i was fearful for them, because it's piles of debris they are climbing in and i can tell you every piece of wood here that you can find on the ground has nails sticking out of it as well , so you know, the danger that you have as you're trying to get in there with your shoes that maybe you don't have steel- lined shoes that kind of danger, your hands or just the building, you know, shaking and coming down on you. steve: it's just jaw-dropping, rick reichmuth, live in what used to be downtown mayfield, kentucky. still is, there's just nothing there. rick, thank you very much. ainsley: awful, where do you even begin? steve: i know and he showed

picture of that historic hotel, when my parents ran the best western in abilene, kansas, oftentimes there be a tornado watch or warning and they would have to knock on every door, get everybody to go downstairs. they did have a basement in abilene and a lot of people rode out the storms downstairs. downstairs was also the bar, but , you know, your heart just breaks for all those people. ainsley: it does and these communities we all grew up in communities like this where everyone knows everyone, mayfield only 10,000 people and there are a lot of churches there. two of the churches right next door to each other you have first christian church and first press parent peer yankees church and here is the first christian church and we had the minister on earlier because he decided along with the minister from first preys, they would have a service on the parking lot on sunday so they could all come together as a church and unify and surround that community with prayers and love. listen to what dr. milton west

said. >> we gathered together the few that we could, we tried to gauge whether or not the building was safe, and i guess the greatest testament to safe is despite everything in our sanctuary being destroyed our communion table, which i see you're showing pictures of right now, survived unindicatessed and our goal today, if it's safe enough, is we're going to try to retrieve that from the sanctuary and move it to a safe location so we can preserve it for our future. ainsley: that was from our interview about an hour ago, but that is the communion table he was telling us about and on top of the table is the cross, a wooden cross that remains. steve: so they have no church but they still their faith. brian: meanwhile let's talk politics for a second as the president of the united states says i'm not going there until i know i'm not a huge distraction with my big security footprint but he'll eventually go. meanwhile, he's desperately trying to get a hold of some of these issues to get his approval ratings up. he thought it be a good idea to

miss the army navy game saturday but appear remote y jimmy fallon for a hard-hitting interview on the tonight show but i don't know if that affects his ratings where he joked about having bad approval ratings. when he comes to inflation is he doing a good job, only 28% approve. gun violence, 32% approve, i'm not sure what that means more gun laws, less? immigration i mean, i don't know how 34% could approve it, he couldn't be worse. he's totally opened the back door and dumped illegal immigrants into communities unsuspecting a lot of un affordable, already strapped with finances, crime has been terrible, you just saw some of the interviews we've been doing abouts snatch and grab on the economic recovery, and the numbers are strong in some areas, gdp is going up and the unemployment is going down, but participation rate is way too low, too many people are quitting their jobs and when it comes to inflation it's 6.2%,

that's untenable. steve: here's the thing people feel it at home, eriver time you fill up your gas we said this a million times you feel it. when you go to look for christmas presents and if you can find something the price is a lot higher than it was last year. people are feeling it. it's interesting, the white house punch bowl talked to an advisor and they said the focus of the white house, this week, obviously, is on all of those numbers, because they're going to focus on lowering prices for the american public, and then talk about how the infrastructure that has passed is going to help them, and they're going to do their best to fix the supply chain thing, so they can get things from ship-to-shelf so if you think about it, they're book- ending and they want to pass build back better but they are putting okay we'll get the prices down and get stuff to you between that. you want the stuff in the middle you gotta do the stuff on the outside. ainsley: gas prices if you look at price increases from a year ago prices are up 58%, energy 33

%, food 6.1% and household items 4.9%. brian: yeah, so we're basically , he's starting to admit that inflation is a problem and he thinks that's half way there, if he's going to get things off ships now is the time. he did say the shelves are filled up again so i don't into what you're looking at and he did say the supply chain thing has been fixed so it's up to him to show that, because sooner or later we'll make our own judgments. steve: i was at the grocery store yesterday and i asked the guy where is the fat free half and half and this was at a publix down in florida and he said we haven't had that for over a month and a half and i said what happened? he said what has happened is the manufactures and for instance the dairy providers are looking at what people buy the most and so they are trying to produce a lot of that and then other things, like fat free half and half, they just aren't making it. ainsley: people buy the regular? steve: absolutely beings tastes better anyway. ainsley: i think the fat free tastes great. brian: i can't believe it's not

butter. carley shimkus do you have anything to say? reporter: about butter? not particularly. i'm a big advocate of butter though. just in general. brian: really? reporter: yeah, love paula dean and her style of cooking. lots of butter. you were of course talking about inflation but how about the crime crisis, another issue hitting americans, listen to this , absolutely. new york city police arresting five suspected pick-pocketers in rockefeller center, one suspect had 37 prior arrests. the suspect faced several charges including grand larceny and meanwhile, new york city mayor bill deblasio is declaring the city much safer than when he took office, listen to this. >> the bottom line is that there is, today in new york city , a much safer city than we were eight years ago. the key is to overcome this horrible patch we've had in the covid era, all over this country, and rebond police and community. reporter: new york progressives

including deblasio are being criticized for policies that allow criminals to walk free, even after committing dangerous crimes. >> the city of chicago confirm ing it will sue jussie smollett for the $130,000 spent on police resources to investigate his fake hate crime. who smollett hired to attack him are also said to sue the actors legal team over damage to their reputation. last week he was found guilty on five of six fell of it counts of disorderly conduct for falsely reporting a hate crime. >> a philadelphia popeyes is facing backlash for banning homeless people from its restaurant. a sign on the front door reads " no homeless people allowed inside the store" the location manager says he's just following regulations because they usually enter the restaurant mask-less but some residents are critical of the policy saying the homeless should be treated with more dignity and respect. >> and as rick reichmuth briefly mentioned moments ago the deadly

tornado in kentucky seems to have blown an 80-year-old photo all the way to indiana. a new albany woman found this black and white photo from 1942 and posted it to social media. in an attempt to return it to its owner, in a twist of fate a family member of those pictured was tagged by a friend, who recognized his last name on the image. now the woman who found the photo plans to reunite it with the family this week so that picture blew, as you could see , about 150 miles away. i think the story is another example of, you know, the powerful impact of the storm but also, a little bit of hope in terms of a family getting a picture back as well. ainsley: and someone cared enough to put it on social media and take the time to drive the picture back to that individual. reporter: bingo. steve: a little bit of the family history because the person looked in the backyard and saw something white and they looked at it and it's a picture and put it on facebook, next thing you know, like rick reichmuth said, so much of that stuff is sent up

35,000 feet in the atmosphere and then it goes flying. ainsley: if you lost everything, holding on to a few of the pictures. reporter: imagine how emotional it'll be to get that picture back. absolutely. steve: thank you, carlie. reporter: you bet. steve: still ahead on this monday show, california governor gavin newsom has a new plan to implement gun control measures and he's taking a page from a texas law. guns right activist and attorney says newsom's playing games with constitutional right, you'll hear that, next. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪

after the supreme court decided to uphold texas' abortion law, saying, "if states can now shield their laws from review by the federal courts to compare assault weapons to swiss army knives, then california will use that authority to protect people 's lives, where texas used it to put women in harm's way." gun rights activist coleon noir joins us right now to weigh in. good morning to you. >> good morning. steve: so what's the governor trying to do? >> he's basically trying to pass more gun control laws using the overly-used justification of saving lives because if this was about saving lives we wouldn't be talking about an trying to ban an ar-15 responsible for less than 400 deaths every year. we'd be talking about the opioid crisis going on in california, where nationally we're getting about 100,000 people dying every year. we've been talking about that but we're not, because gavin newsom doesn't care about saving lives. this is about gavin newsom and nothing else.

steve: well you know it's interesting, because this his reaction to the fact that the supreme court allowed the texas law to remain in effect and he obviously didn't like that and so he's going to say okay if you can do that, we can do that. >> and that's the thing about that that's really honestly disgusting to me because if he feels like what happened in texas was a violation of people 's rights why would you then turnaround and say okay well if you violate those rights i'm going to violate these rights here and we're specifically talking about an enumerated right in the constitution, so it goes to show you what, again, gavin newsom cares about. he doesn't care about people's rights, this isn't about saving lives, this is honestly only about gavin newsom and that's it , and it's kind of honestly disgusting. steve: well you know, as you know, in california, they've been trying to clamp down on gun s and whatnot, and california banned the manufacture and sale of many assault weapons for decades but a federal judge overturned the ban in june,

saying it was unconstitutional and drawing, you know, criticism from state democratic leaders. he compared the ar-15 to a swiss army knife as good for both home and battle as well , and solemn it sounds like that's how this started. >> yeah, it is and it's largely because gavin newsom is about control. they want control, and so they don't like the idea that you have common citizens in their minds, who have the ability to protect themselves and not have to be forced to rely on the government in order to do so as far as i'm concerned, not as far as i'm concerned, but the vast majority of people believe the ar-15 is absolutely conducive to protecting their lives that's why it's the most popular rifle in the world, well in the country right now, because it does a great job at protecting people's families. steve: let's see what happens next, thank you very much for joining us today from dallas >> absolutely. steve: all right, coming up next on this monday we're live in arkansas as that state cleans up following this weekend's deadly tornado outbreak, and in

kentucky, team rubicon is deployed to help first responders comb through the rubble for any survivors. an update on their mission, straight ahead. >> man: what's my safelite story? my truck...is my livelihood. so when my windshield cracked... the experts at safelite autoglass came right to me... with service i could trust. right, girl? >> singers: ♪ safelite repair, safelite replace. ♪

through the debris piles and clean-up homes and streets and driveways, and looking for the next steps, you know, to get this back going. ainsley: we're back with a fox weather alert. you just heard from the truman arkansas fire chief who helped save countless residents in the path of this weekends devastating tornado. more than 100 people are dead and hundreds more homes and businesses destroyed across five or six different states. fox weather multi-media journalist hunter davis joins us live from truman, arkansas near where that deadly twister organized. good morning, hunter. >> hi there, good morning. directly across the street from that fire department, that was destroyed in the storm, we are also kind of right in the middle of them getting power restored here in the city of trumann, so you'll have to bear with us with that noise. we'll head this way to see if we can get away from that a little bit and show you this damage on main street here. this was actually like you mentioned, where the tornado started.

the national weather service confirming preliminary reports of an ef-3 tornado coming through this area. that actually went well into tennessee, and that tornado, like you said, started here. we're about 20 miles from monett , arkansas which is where that nursing home was damaged and that death was reported that's where we spent most of our day saturday. fortunately here in trumann, no deaths reported, not many injuries reported which is actually pretty remarkable when you look at this damage here on main street that was right in the path of that tornado. we're kind of showing you, like i said, this main street where the road has been blocked off and if we come over to this direction, this is actually where their ambulances come out of, so just pretty extensive damage here in trumann and we'll be tracking this all day, also worth mentioning, it's monday, typically kids will be heading back-to-school, however here in trumann they have canceled school for the week due to the

extensive damage here. back to you. ainsley: thank you, hurter. meanwhile, team rubicon is in the ground in kentucky where dozens are missing and more than a hundred people are feared dead joining me with the rescue efforts team rubicon logistics volunteer leader kirby willis. good morning. >> good morning, how are you this morning? ainsley: we're doing okay praying for all of the folks down there where you are. what's the process? >> so the process right now, we are in the process of mobilizing a mixed bag of volunteers from across the country. we currently have six individuals on the ground that are in the supporting operations for our organization in conjunction with local emergency management, and i apologize for the noise we are currently in an active fire station and i believe they are about to head out on a run, so if you hear a siren or two, i do apologize about that, but our organization is in the process of emergency

management the best that we can, and offering saw capabilities at this time as well as we brought in heavy equipment operators and we have more heavy equipment on the way in. ainsley: kirby, do you go in and help families at their houses? do you help businesses? >> so we primarily help residents and single family homeowners. ainsley: all right i think we're losing him. well, kirby if you can hear me thank you so much for everything you do. sorry about that. obviously they don't have a lot of power down there so it's really difficult. coming up, chaos reigns supreme in chicagoan exotic car showroom is robbed and broad daylight while families were inside. dan bongino joins us live with his unfiltered message for the liberal city leaders.

>> this guy has such a boiling point and there's no one stepping out to say anything about it. i voted for lori lightfoot the first time, i won't vote for her next time and i hope everybody sends that message out to her and all of the aldermen that we've had enough, enough is enough. brian: that was the owner of the exotic dealership in chicago about an hour ago blasting far left city leaders soft on crime policies which left him legally helpless when his shop was robbed by armed looters in broad daylight, dan bongino getting set for his radio show and podcast joins us now. dan when you see this business owner, self-made success story, who voted left is getting fed up and he's tweeting out enough is enough he says i'm getting hit

from all around the country, do you think we're on the precipice of a change? >> yeah, listen what's the oldest cliche in politics, right? all politics are local and the reason is the oldest cliche and it's enduring is because it's true. all politics are local. you can talk all you want about, you know, geopolitics with china and russia and these are critical important issues. i'm not trying to short-sell them, but candidly a lot of people don't see that right now. china invades taiwan, they may, but brian think about joe biden and the democrats are near historic unpopularity right now. three issue, inflation, crime, and covid, all things that kick you, you know, right in the tomatoes as you're at your own table. yet the inflation, you can't buy anything and your real wages go down, covid you've got people in your family and your kids being forced to wear masks to school despite numbers rising in some democrat-led states and crime where you and family members, god forbid, are becoming the

victims of the stuff and your businesses, and the most disturbing part i had former nypd commissioner ray kelly on my show this weekend on unfilter ed, brian they know the answer. it's to go back to what worked. broken windows policing, they know the answer and they just won't do it. i mean, you have to ask hard questions. do they want this crime spree? you're doing nothing. brian: here is the thing and i feel bad because mayor deblasio got away with this , the police commissioner thought it be a good idea to get rid of the anti -crime unit, the plain clothes unit maybe he was told to do that but there's no way any cop would want to get rid of somebody who is able to forecast and target crime, and it looks like eric add apps will bring it back. so many of these politicians are forcing law enforcement official s to do things that they don't want to do on they quit. >> well here's the problem, brian with the nypd and you know i work there. above the rank of captain, deputy inspector, inspector, one , two, and three star chief

and then chief of the department they are all political appointees so mcshay candidly is a political appointee. they stop being police officer, we're still police officers, no you are really politicians first i have nothing against him but he should have resigned before doing that. brian here is, come on. the fox news audience, do you know why anti-crime and plain clothes policing works? does fox news audience gets it right away but you may have a cnn listener here, a viewer, here is why it works. because criminals, guys, to the cnn viewers here right now, right? criminals don't commit crimes in front of uniform police officers liberals are stunned, like wait, what? what? when you're in an anti-crime unit and you're in down clothes and they don't know you're a police officer, you see the crime happening and you make the arrest right there. keep in mind, this is shocking to the ms nbc viewer whose over at our channel trying to troll us. brian: who cheered when they got rid of the anti-crime unit.

that's why most of the uniformed officers many stepped back, arrest them they get out right away, no one backs me when i put my life on the line so in case of emergency, let me know. we'll see. >> brian just quick, on the anti-crime thing i can't tell you how many cops in plain clothes units, the overwhelming majority of guns were taken off the street, illegal guns, by anti-crime who is driving around in unmarked car and plain clothes seeing a guy fooling around with a gun in the street who turns out had it illegally about to commit a crime. brian: absolutely and a very dangerous job and you just fired them or made them put on uniforms and told them they didn't matter. good luck getting them back on the street. thanks so much, dan bongino, we'll watch you over the weekend , and listen to you today. >> thanks, brian. brian: okay meanwhile let's check in with senior meteorologist janice dean for the fox weather. >> look i have all of your fans out here brian kilmeade. >> i'm from tennessee.

>> tennessee. >> cleveland. >> st. louis. >> boston. >> texas. >> alabama. >> cleveland. >> we are representing this morning, isn't it a nice day in new york city? let's take a look you know we had some terrible tornadoes, obviously, a historic outbreak over the weekend, 28 confirmed, we had tornado emergencies underway at least an ef-3 in mayfield, kentucky that took lives of many people our thoughts and prayers going out to all of those folks unfortunately and you know what they are going to rebuild and one thing i know for sure is when a community is suffering all the neighbors come out and they help. unfortunately, we have the setup again this week for perhaps some strong to severe weather it'll be north of those regions across the midwest so we'll keep an eye on that. foxweather.com make sure you have that app. they will give you the watches and warnings that's our next system moving into the west bringing heavy rain and snow and some of that energy moves into the plain states. on a lighter note are you guys happy to be here? >> yes! >> say hi to, back to brian,

campos-duffy took us to navarro farm a haven in frank fort, illinois with children for special needs. brian: rachel and her daughter valnetina learned about the important life skills kids learned at the farm. ainsley: since that story first aired our viewers donated more than $30,000 to the farm, so thank you and rachel joins us now with more. rachel: i am, hello, good morning, merry christmas to all of you. this is like the best christmas present ever to hear our viewers are the best in the world. this was the most awesome trip that i took, this farm, navarro farm, sherry and damian run it and they have a son with downs and it's really for kids 14 and up, they also service adults this is helping to make this transition from the early services that they get into how do they actually live more independent lives and have social interactions, so take a look at my trip to the farm. it was really incredible.

>> god planted a seed in our life and we're watering it right now. rachel: navarro is a non-profit organization that teaches life skills through farming for teens and young a kids with special needs. >> you're training them on what to do and all that, to water, to weed, to harvest. >> god put someone in front of us and said it be amazing if we could teach our individuals with special needs how to farm. rachel: the idea hit home. damian and sherry have three kids and their 17-year-old son carter has downs syndrome. >> what is it about him that makes him so special? >> everything. he's just amazing. i would say not only him but the community. they look at life in the way we all should be looking at life. rachel: in july, the navarro program opened and since then, they've served over 85 individuals with special needs. >> we all want to have a sense of purpose. we all want to be able to feel like we contribute to society. we all want to feel like we make

a difference, and it's the same with our kids here. they want to come, they want to be able to work, they want to be able to feel a sense of ownership and they want to be able to feel like this is something i did. rachel: the farmers grow a variety of things. >> fruit trees. >> the peppers, the tomatoes. >> carrots. rachel: they work with animals. >> she's amazing, smart ever. i love her so much. rachel: and sell products at carter's corner farm stand. >> everything we have, we turn around and sell for a donation which goes back into the farm. >> the donations for to try to help us with our future. rachel: why is the farm such a great place to learn these skills? >> where do i start? most importantly they are working on social skills. >> one of the things we wanted to do here as well is make sure that we were providing that social outlet for them.

having place where they belong and being a part of something special, and so we started doing movie nights and dance party nights, and tonight we're doing our santa at the barn event. rachel: a truly big evening with train rides and ornament making, even real reindeer, and of course, a special santa experience for a very special group of people. >> why were you so excited to meet santa? >> because i'm a big fan of santa. >> you told him you were his biggest fan, [laughter] >> yes. rachel: the social event at navarro farms aren't just fun for the farmers. >> merry christmas. rachel: it's a gift for their parents as well. >> my son, he wants to come and work. he loves to work. he works works works. just a place where he can explore is what he loves the most. >> my son came home and was saying he really enjoyed that event so to hear that just warm

my heart that they feel such a sense of belonging and acceptance. rachel: i got to witness the magic of navarro farms first -hand with my daughter vale ntina. rachel: it's valentina's turn to meet santa. >> merry christmas, valentina. rachel: she got a navarro farms. >> you guys are so sweet. >> thank you, santa. >> merry christmas! steve: what a great place. rachel: oh, it's awesome. and you know, they really emphasize the skills. one of the sad things that happens with children with downs is that after a certain age they stop getting invited to things, and so the dance parties and the activities, the parents told me, ainsley, steve, brian, that the farm doesn't open until like 8:30 or 9:00. when they know they are going to the farm they get up at 6:00 in

the morning, dressed, ready to go they are so excited to be part of something, and this santa that they had here, you know, this is a santa train to help kids with special needs have a great experience, there's no, you know, rushing them or anything like that, so it was really fun for valentina to participate as well. brian: do they need money to sustain that farm? rachel: yeah, so these people did this on the fly and yes, they want to actually start a food truck as well to go along with the stand. your money is going to a great place. steve: so donate at navarrofarm. org. ainsley: what an amazing couple. we'll be right back.
