6:00 am
thanks so much from london we'll check in all day. >> steve: we're going to keep an eye on what is going on there in scotland. if you're just joining us, william and charles have rushed to be by the queen's side joined by princess anne already in scotland because queen elizabeth's doctors are concerned for her health. >> carley: that's exactly right. and with that we're going to hand it over to bill and dana on america's news room.3 >> bill: queen elizabeth under medical supervision. her four children have traveled to be with her and we're following the story. a moment of history as we look at her life, as we shall. >> dana: i'm dana perino. we're getting -- the 96-year-old canceled a meeting yesterday. following further evaluation this morning, the queen's doctors are concerned for her majesty's health and have
6:01 am
recommended she remain under medical supervision. the queen remains comfortable and at balmoral. her country estate in the scottish highlands. greg palkot is reporting live from london with this news this morning. hi, greg. >> this is a country on edge. the last 90 minutes or so since we got the word from the royal household they're concerned about her health. new words we've never heard about queen elizabeth ii before. the whole country is concerned and worried and praying. the news came following a cancellation last night of a zoom meeting with government officials. we didn't think too much of that but in fact it was an indication that there is something amiss. we have seen her on tuesday greeting the new incoming prime minister, liz truss, the 15th prime minister that this very long-serving monarch has been involved with, a sign of her
6:02 am
longevity. in the past couple of months she has had mobility issues. difficulty in getting around. and she is 96 years old. we saw her, as you folks saw her all through that platinum jubilee marking 70 years on the throne and she looked great. she appeared at many events and, in fact, as she has throughout her whole time serving the country, in fact showing off for the entire world but now there are concerns. doctors are at balmoral. this is the scottish estate that she really loves. her summer getaway and she didn't come down to buckingham palace to see the new prime minister. she had them, boris johnson and elizabeth truss come up to see her. she has been canceling various engagements handing off to her
6:03 am
son, prince charles,e, prince c camilla now at her side, as you noted. as well as her other children. understand prince william and kate and others are on the way as well, which is yet another sign, another worrying sign this could be more serious than frankly other health scares we have had. 70 years on the throne. longest serving monarch. she has seen the country through world wars, conflicts involving the united kingdom to social unrest and even a bit of ups and downs and bumps on the road within her family. right now the country, right now i think probably the world is saying a prayer or two for this lovely, lovely lady, guys. >> dana: one thing that was striking to me is that the brits usually have the gift of understatement. when her doctors say concerned, and they usually are very quiet, right, tight lipped.
6:04 am
they came out with a statement to say they're concerned and given that they also underplay things a little bit to keep people calm, stiff upper lip. that's how serious i think the situation is today. your take on that. >> yes, it's words we've never heard associated with her health status. we've been hearing about health issues for six months, a year or so, but she has gotten around and she has been able to appear in various public events. but now there is real concern. we heard that in the house of commons again prime minister liz truss speaking very farmly about the queen. telling her and the country that the country is together, united and hoping for the best. we even heard her opposition leader, the labor party leader, say exactly the same thing and we're hearing from people of all areas. twitter is exploding.
6:05 am
people who don't even care for the royals who don't think there is enough money to spend on it wish her the best and that's what the whole country is doing right now, guys. >> bill: stand by with us. a lot of reporting. bring in mel gardner, advisor to margaret thatcher. thank you for coming to our coverage. watching the news reports give us your reaction initially. start there. >> thank you very much, bill and dana, for having me on the show today and the situation i think with regard to the queen is extremely serious and hence the entire royal family is now gathering at balmoral. and so i think the gravity of the situation is absolutely huge here. the queen really is the heart and soul of the british nation. she is greatly loved and greatly revered and somebody who has lived her entire life for the sake of the british
6:06 am
people. she embodies the spirit of public service. she has overseen now 15 prime ministers, actually. she just gave her assent to the formation of a new british government headed by liz truss earlier this week. so she is somebody who embodies what great britain is all about and truly a great nation, a great nation of freedom and liberty and the queen really embodies that sense of selflessness, public service. she is massively loved by the british nation but also, of course, by people across the world including here in the united states. a hugely popular figure among americans and opinion polls show that over the course of decades. she is loved across the world. this is an incredibly grave and serious time at the moment. the heart of the british people, the british nation, their prayers are with the queen and her family at this time. >> dana: i wonder if you could
6:07 am
talk a little bit about her early service, right? one of the things she said on her 21st birthday. i declare my whole life, long or short, shall be devoted to your service and the service of the great imperial family to which we all belong. when she was 18 she pitched in during world war ii and certainly endeared her to a lot of people that she was willing to figure out a way to learn how to drive the ambulance and be part of it with the people. >> that's an extremely important point that she embodies what public service is all about. that goes back to the days of world war ii when she was a volunteer assisting britain's military efforts. and you mentioned, you know, her speech upon becoming queen and talking about how she would dedicate her life to serving the british nation and that's what she is all about. you have to go back to the days
6:08 am
of winston churchill when she ascended to the throne and she led the british nation for 70 years through tremendous times of challenge and the united kingdom today faces immense economic crisis. the british look to the queen for inspiration. her entire life has been lived for her nation and that kind of spirit of service, selflessness and sacrifice is incredible to behold and remains just a huge inspiration for the british nation. so she embodies what britain is all about, really. truly great nation, a great people, and she embodies the spirit of really selflessness, i think, which is so incredibly important and so i'm full of admiration to the queen but
6:09 am
also hope that she will pull through this, that she will continue to lead. that is the hope of the british people at this time. >> bill: stand by as well. greg palkot, want to bring in jonathan hunt from los angeles to join our coverage as well. jonathan, just a few things to comment on here. she had covid in february of this past year and how it left her tired and exhausted in her words. she lost her husband about a year and a half ago, phillip died in april of 2021. and when you look at the picture, the one photograph that was put out by the palace earlier this week with her and the incoming prime minister, liz truss. in that photo she looked physically smaller and i know you follow the family and i know you follow her. did you take note of that as well? >> absolutely, bill. i think that was a very stark picture for all of us to see
6:10 am
this week when she greeted the incoming prime minister, liz truss. we had conversations here, i had conversations with my mom sitting back in the u.k. who said she was very worried when she saw queen elizabeth looking as frail as she does there. she is, of course, a 96-year-old lady and you would expect her to appear slightly frail but i think that picture spoke many, many words to everybody in the u.k. and around the world. just about the physical challenges that the queen has obviously gone through over the past year and also as you very rightly point out, bill, the emotional challenges of losing phillip to whom she was so close for some long obviously. theirs was an incredible relationship. it went through many ups and downs, of course, many challenges with their own children and some of their grandchildren. it has been a difficult time not just this past year but
6:11 am
going back to the death of diana. the queen has been through a lot. all through it she has led britain, as nile was saying with great grace and class. i think for everybody, bill and dana, seeing her looking so frail was a very sobering moment this week. now we get the news that the entire family, it appears, is either in or on the way to balmoral. i'm getting word that harry and meghan currently in germany are also heading from mainland europe across to scotland now. so it appears that this is a very, very serious moment we may be approaching. >> dana: i'm married to a brit and are you a brit and both live in america. i wonder what it's like to be living on this side of the pond but she really is still the pull and the cord not just for you but for many of the u.k. --
6:12 am
anyone living overseas can look back and say she is the thing that ties us all together, the one. my husband pointed out to me that no one under the age of 72 in the u.k. can remember when she wasn't queen. >> it's extraordinary. i'm marginally under the age of 72 and she is what i grew up with as your husband. i remember back in 1977 when i was a relatively young kid, the silver jubilee and the extraordinary street parties held all across the u.k. to celebrate the queen. in many little town in the southwest of england, we all gathered together, huge tables laid out in the streets, bunting everywhere, a great celebration of what we then thought was a pretty extraordinary 25 year of leadership. here we are all these years
6:13 am
later and she is still and has been all this time leading the u.k. so well and through so many ups and downs. you think of the way that the family was being pulled apart in the wake of the death of diana, the criticism of prince charles, her eldest child then, and she was stoic all the way through it. she did not show a great deal of emotion but led the nation, she led her family, she is such an extraordinary leader in so many ways. whatever happens next, it is going to be a very, very tough time for everybody in the u.k. if indeed we're at the beginning of our last goodbye to queen elizabeth. >> bill: thank you for that input in los angeles. jonathan hunt, and many others who will join us throughout the morning today. think about this. during her reign so far there
6:14 am
have been 15 prime ministers, 14 u.s. presidents, 7 roman catholic popes. that is human endurance. >> dana: incredible. her first meeting with the u.s. president was 1951, president truman. and that's pretty remarkable. what a life she is leading and as she gathers with her family there today as they gather around her we wish them the best and they are in our prayers. >> bill: we'll bring you updates as we get them. in the meantime back at home fox news alert, a deadly shooting rampage putting the entire city of memphis on lockdown. the teenage suspect, age 19, allegedly livestreaming all his violence and murder on facebook. >> dana: police a rested a democratic official in the murder of a journalist. the shocking details on that.
6:15 am
as a main street bank, pnc has helped over 7 million kids develop their passion for learning. and now we're providing 88 billion dollars to support underserved communities... ...helping us all move forward financially. pnc bank: see how we can make a difference for you. i got tai last december. i've spent almost every minute with her since. when i first brought her home, she was eating little brown pieces in a bag and it was just what kind of came recommended. i just always thought, “dog food is dog food” i didn't really piece together that dogs eat food. as soon as we brought the farmer's dog in, her skin was better, she was more active, high-quality poops. if i can invest in her health and be proactive, i think it's worth it. see the benefits of fresh food at betterforthem.com

6:17 am
but couldn't keep up. so my husband just stopped taking his medicine. and then he had a stroke. i can't get back what i lost, but thanks to aarp, a new law will protect seniors with a cap on their prescription costs. that could have changed everything for us. i'm just grateful that no one will have to face the terrible choices that we did this is john. he hasn't worked this hard to only get this far with his cholesterol. taken with a statin, leqvio can lower bad cholesterol and keep it low with two doses a year. side effects were injection site reaction, joint pain, urinary tract infection, diarrhea, chest cold, pain in legs or arms, and shortness of breath. with leqvio, lowering cholesterol becomes just one more thing life throws your way. ask your doctor about leqvio. lower. longer. leqvio.
6:18 am
6:20 am
. >> bill: mass murder in memphis. a gunman terrorizeing that city. at least four dead, three wounded in a rampage that spanned 24 hours. >> dana: police arrested a 19-year-old suspect saying he live streamed some of it on facebook and we have to warn you the video we're about to show you is very disturbing. apparently shows the suspect walking into an auto zone right before shooting a man inside. >> no faking. this is for real. this is so real. gosh. >> bill: the shooting spree putting the entire city of memphis on lockdown. that community already reeling from the deadly kidnapping of
6:21 am
the kindergarten teacher by the name of eliza fletcher. the city is dealing with a tragedy that spans at least eight different crime scenes. >> dana: the first shooting happened at 1:00 a.m. wednesday he opened fire at least six more times. the attacks were seemingly random. >> bill: police say he carjacked two people at gun point and crashed one of those cars around 9:00 last night when officers made their move to arrest him. >> dana: this is not his first run-in with the law. he had first degree attempted murder charges. court sentenced him to three years in prison and served less than a third of that. that fact is not lost on mayor jim strickland. >> if mr. kelly served his full three-year sentence, he would still be in prison today and four of our fellow citizens would still be alive.
6:22 am
we need our courts, we need additional state laws to stop this revolving door. >> bill: jonathan serrie is live in memphis today. >> good morning, to you, bill. four people were killed and at least three others injured in seven separate shootings across the city of memphis yesterday. all of they will linked to a single gunman. it started at roughly 1:00 a.m. wednesday. a 24-year-old man was shot and killed in his driveway. things were quiet until late afternoon. a man was killed inside her car and a woman shot in the leg and taken to the hospital. the gunmen went to facebook live and streamed himself walking into an auto parts store and firing a handgun critically injuring a man inside. when viewers tipped off police about the livestream they were able to link it to the suspect in the first shooting,
6:23 am
19-year-old he ezekiel kelly. police urged all residents to stay home and if they were already out to shelter in place. the transit system temporarily suspended bus and trolley service. after two more shootings and two carjackings police spotted the suspect's stolen car. a chasten sued that ended just before 9:00 p.m. with police taking kelly into custody. back in 2021, kelly was charged with criminal attempted first degree murder but pled guilty to the lesser charge of aggravated assault and sentenced to three years but released in march of this year after serving only 11 months in prison. >> if mr. kelly served his full three-year sentence, he would still be in prison today and four of our fellow citizens would still be alive. >> a lot of frustration there.
6:24 am
kelly faces at least one count of first degree murder. we fully expect additional counts to be forthcoming. a bond hearing was scheduled for friday morning. back to you guys. >> bill: wow. we'll wait for more on that jonathan serrie, what a week it has been for the people in memphis already. >> dana: the suspect accused of kidnapping and killing eliza fletcher is due back in court this morning. abston did not enter a plea yesterday. he spent 20 years of a 24 year sentence on a kidnapping conviction after being left on early in 2020. i checked in with harold ford junior. he said my city is reeling and gripped with violence. >> bill: we'll show you that map again in a moment here. the amount of territory he covered, the 19-year-old, before he was finally apprehended. crossed two state lines and a lot of trouble for that man. in new york now steve bannon
6:25 am
has turned himself in and reportedly surrendered arriving at manhattan district office a few moments ago. new video. first time we're seeing it. we at this point do not know the exact charges but we believe they deal with an alleged case of fraud that relates to the raising of money that would go toward building the wall on the southern border. bannon came out quite forcefully two days ago saying he will fight it to the end and see how it goes. bannon reporting to the southern district of new york a moment ago in lower manhattan. >> dana: also now fox news alert on the top story. queen elizabeth is under medical supervision. the royal family is traveling to be by her side. a republican governor hitting the campaign trail in a deep blue state where he sees an opportunity to transform attitudes on law enforcement. maryland governor larry hogan is here to tell us about that
6:26 am
and a top government watch doc sounding the alarm on president biden's afghanistan withdrawal. the critical data they say dhs was missing. >> they don't have passports or have the kinds of documents that hit a computer button and say this guy is okay and that one is not. they're investing with merrill. think miss allen is texting for backup? no she's totally in charge. of her portfolio and daniel g. she's building a greener future and he's... running a pretend restaurant. and phil? phil has questions, but none of them are about his portfolio. digital tools so impressive, your money never stops working for you with merrill, a bank of america company.
6:30 am
6:31 am
the newday 100 va loan lets you borrow up to 100% of your home's value, not just 80%. and with home values near record highs, that could mean a lot of money. let newday turn your home's equity into cash. . >> bill: 9:30 in new york. news that the queen is under medical supervision. her four children have reported to her summer home balmoral castle in the northern part of the u.k. and we're now getting -- there is a report that prince william is en route, dana. whether he has arrived or not we cannot confirm. but his wife, princess kate, will stay back in windsor because today is the first day of school for her children. that's just a bit of new news that we can add to the story at
6:32 am
the moment. >> dana: martha maccallum, you are on the phone with us, is that right? >> good morning, guys, good morning. >> dana: thank you for joining us. wish it was on better news. there is no one better for us to talk to about this moment for the u.k. one thing just to tee this up and let you wind you up and let you go is that the queen's first prime minister, winston churchill was born 101 years before the current prime minister, liz truss. all the way through the victorian era. you think about how technology has changed. all the things she has seen in her life so far it is remarkable, martha. >> it is truly remarkable. good morning, bill and dana. good to be with you. obviously this is a day of concern for all of the people of the united kingdom and the commonwealth and everyone who respects and has watched this
6:33 am
queen throughout her long reign, 70 years she celebrated in june. this is obviously a very serious situation. there are all kinds of reports out there right now that we are working to confirm but we do know the family is gathering to be with her at balmoral, which is her favorite home in scotland. she traditionally spends every summer there. she did not come back to receive the new prime minister, the first time that's happened. she received liz truss on tuesday and was given her permission to form a government. so this is a very -- this is a moment that people have been anticipating but not wanting for many, many days and months and since really since the jubilee when she was frail but she did very well and attended several of those events. i would just caution everybody.
6:34 am
we're hearing all sorts of reports now but for sure the family is mostly there. i believe all four of her children are there and as you said william is en route and harry and meghan have been in the u.k. as well. we'll see what their travels are. if indeed this is the moment, then we will see an extraordinary series of events that will begin almost immediately. >> bill: martha, a couple of observations here. outside of piers morgan i think you are the person i know best who knows best what the royal family. and when you consider the case of covid she had in february of this year and the comments she offered publicly about how it affected her. she said she was very tired and exhausted. had you noticed a change in her since that diagnosis or not? >> i think so. i think you've heard about her mobility problems for quite some time.
6:35 am
she is an indomitable spirit. she wanted to be part of everything and not miss any important occasion. but one thing that just as an observer after covid she lost a lot of weight. more thin and frail after that and the complicating factors we've heard about, her mobility, may be an indication of another underlying medical condition. it is very -- they are very tight lipped about her health, which is really why this statement this morning was so significant. and it does appear that it was really to have everyone begin to be prepared for this process if indeed she is near the end. and we're seeing reports that may be the case. >> dana: i remember in 2007 or 8, i can't remember the year, i had the opportunity to meet her and what was interesting. everybody knows i'm not the tallest person in the world. just 5 feet tall.
6:36 am
>> you guys were eye-to-eye. >> to meet somebody who had such presence and charisma and ability to command a room with her stature and obviously that comes from years of -- since she was born being raised to this moment. the other thing, martha, maybe you could comment on she became queen very suddenly when her father passed away. she was on her honeymoon and she stepped right into the role and never complained about it. >> she did. you know, i just want to mention that we've heard in recent weeks that charles and camilla were making more regular trips to visit the queen that were unscheduled at balmoral. i think that this has been going on for at least the last several weeks. and yes, you think back to her as a young woman in her early
6:37 am
20s at that point, newly married. on vacation in africa when she received the word her father, king george vi. he had a long illness. he was in his 50s. it was quite a shock to her and it really demonstrates, i think, what happens in those moments of that transformation when now instantly charles will become king when his mother passes. that will set in motion an enormous process that can be as long and involved, travel all over the commonwealth to the 14 countries of the commonwealth and throughout the united kingdom. there is a very elaborate process that began in the 1960s and all of the monarchs oversee their own funeral plans. so when that day comes, it will be all coordinated and
6:38 am
orchestrated with the consideration of the queen herself and it will -- the person who really is in charge would be her private secretary, mr. edward young, who has been there five or six years, i believe. he is the liaison between the palace and as head of state to the government, to the military, to the church, and sets in motion all of this enormous process, which would then get underway. >> bill: martha, thank you. >> dana: grateful for your knowledge. >> bill: don't go far. we'll reach back to you. as of now, 9:38 new york time, this is what we know for buckingham palace from statement that went out 90 minutes ago. following further evaluation this morning, the queen's doctors are concerned for her majesty's health and recommended she remain under medical supervision. the queen remains comfortable and at balmoral. beyond that they are, as you
6:39 am
know, historically tight lipped. we do know her four children are there, including prince charles, who will be 74 on november 14th. he is the heir to the throne, but at the moment queen elizabeth ii, the 96-year-old monarch, is still sitting on that throne as she has for the lives of millions of people throughout the u.k. and all over the world. stand by and we'll get more news on that as it becomes available. >> dana: in other news former assistant secretary of state robert charles reacts. >> what we did in afghanistan was a textbook case of failure. a great deal of uncertainty out there because when you simply grab people from a country like afghanistan, which is dominated by the taliban, the very people we went to stop, are now in charge again, and you bring a chunk of that home you have no idea what you've collected. >> dana: that was former assistant secretary of state robert charles reacting to a new report from the d.h.s. inspector general that says
6:40 am
there was a flawed screening process that allowed unvetted afghan refugees into the u.s. following president biden's chaotic withdrawal in august of 2021. the white house claims that's not the case. it's hard to imagine. jacqui heinrich is live outside the white house with the latest. >> good morning to you. as the inspector general's says the data was often incomplete. evacuees would only give one name. sometimes they would be assigned a date of birth and often there were problems relying on translators and, quote, as a result, dhs may have admitted or paroled into the united states that pose a risk. several were brought to the u.s. including one who has broken out of prison by the taliban. >> it was pretty obvious we knew it would be a problem. we don't know how many afghans
6:41 am
are in this country who pose a national security threat. but we know there are a few dozen based on what the f.b.i. told us. we just hope they are being monitored. >> d.h.s. says they are being monitored adding the report doesn't accurately characterize the vetting process and the critical roles of multiple other federal agencies and all individuals paroled into the united states as part of the oaw are subject to continuous vetting. that statement is why the white house is claiming the inspector general's report is false. >> dhs has disputed this report. and it said it didn't take into account the key steps that we have taken as a u.s. government, the rigorous, multi-layered screening and vetting process that we take as a government. that was not part of the report. again, this report is not accurate. >> the office of the inspector general says there is no proof of what the white house is
6:42 am
claiming. last month a whistleblower claimed the u.s. admitted more than 300 people into the country who had derogatory information and f.b.i. director wray said the joint terrorism task force is actively trying to investigate a lot of them. back to you, dana. >> dana: thank you. >> bill: president biden's attacks against maga republicans drawing more heat. one republican warning a red wave could crash before the mid-terms. maryland governor republican larry hogan is our guest coming up next. upfront costs for appraisal or termite inspections. no upfront costs at all to get the cash you need. veterans get more at newday. your record label is taking off. but so is your sound engineer. you need to hire. i need indeed. indeed you do. indeed instant match instantly delivers quality candidates matching your job description.

. >> bill: the minds of many americans inflation. latest pew research poll shows 60% of voters consider violent crime important when casting their ballots. larry hogan is with us, the maryland governor. you are pushing a refund the police movement. how is it going to work? >> when all the far left lunacy came out. i was the first elected leader in america to speak out against it and say our police are under funded and under attack. in maryland we initiated a half billion increase in police
6:48 am
funding and including 50% increase in state funding to over police. it was very popular not only with republicans but baltimore city, the victims of crime and they didn't want to defund the police. saying you want to defund the police to improve policing is like saying you want to defund the schools to improved indication. it is lunacy. it is starting to change the narrative across the country. i'm supporting candidates that are pushing dealing with violent crime and supporting police as part of their policies. >> dana: tell us about that. you went to portland, oregon. a competitive gubernatorial race out there. republican, you think she has a shot. tell us what you observed in portland and why crime is an issue people will vote on. >> portland just -- just got in from there last night. a poster child for far left policies run amuck. people doing hard drugs all
6:49 am
over the streets. homeless people causing a 200% increase in violent crime. and christine is a great candidate focused on this. we did a round table with people on homelessness and crime and what we'll do about it. talked about what we're doing in maryland. i think she has a great shot. most people don't focus in on oregon as a potential pickup for republicans. it could happen. >> bill: the thing about oregon. a three-way race and there provides an opportunity where a republican could slip in and win with less than 50% of the vote. bring back -- come back to the point about when things get so low people say man, we need change. won office eight years ago and in your experience in maryland you found people are fed up. >> that's where they are in
6:50 am
oregon and a couple of other states. in 2014 our state raised taxes 43 times in a row and crushed 10,000 businesses, lost 100,000 jobs. a gallup poll came out that said 48% of all the people in the state wanted to move and when i decided to run for governor. they said a republican can't win but we did because people were so fed up that they were ready to finally do something and vote in a way they never had before. that's what i saw in oregon. people so disgusted they've probably never voted for a republican in their life but they might be fed up enough to do it. >> dana: in the eight years you were governor, what were the results? especially on crime. >> i just talked about the economy and hit that first and then crime. on the economy, we cut taxes eight years in a row. took a $5 billion deficit and turned it into a surplus. we went to number six. biggest economic turn around in america. crime in 2015 when the riots broke out in baltimore i declared a state of emergency.
6:51 am
