>> here we go. fox weather alert, hurricane ian. the category one storm right now intensifying in the gulf of mexico. setting size authority because now. >> this is a live look from clearwater beach. he looks calm there now. governor ron desantis to playing the national guard as millions in that area are preparing for the first major storm of the season. across the state you will see empty shelves at the grocery stores because everyone is stocking up on those supplies. >> it's hard to find a bottle of water at a grocery store in

florida on this monday. we have fox team coverage. senior meteorologist janice dean is tracking ian but we start with nicole, standing by in tampa. behind you, the sun is out, it's the calm before the storm, but i know that there is sandbagging going on throughout the tampa bay area because of a potential storm surge. >> steve, ainsley, brian, good morning. absolutely. many trying to take advantage of these next few days as the weather is absolutely going to be better than what we could see later on this week, as hurricane ian approaches the gulf coast of florida. already, hillsborough county -- we are in tampa right now -- moving to close schools. they are preparing to use more than 50 of their public school buildings to potentially become shelters if needed, as many tampa bay residents gear up for what could be, again, a couple scary days ahead. we are already seeing lots of people out making lines, some

waiting three hours if not longer for sandbags to try to protect their homes from the storm surge that could come here. when we talk about hurricane force winds, flooding we could see, unfortunately, disrupt many communities. we are also seeing a lot of resources start to run out. we are talking water going fast, fuel running low in some areas. it is really the gathering of the resources, the planning and preparing, that people are focusing on right now, making sure that everyone in that path, the potential path of hurricane ian, has what they need, whether they choose to evacuate or shelter in place. >> make sure you have a medication, get some water, food that you can sustain yourself with for 3-4 days. in this area we could see a lot of flooding and a lot of power outages for multiple days. and it's hot outside. >> more than 2500 national guardsmen have been activated

ahead of this potential storm, and governor ron desantis just yesterday already advising floridians to anticipate power outages and anticipate disruptions to fuel once hurricane ian does make landfall. guys? >> steve: nicole, thank you very much. i was talking to someone in south florida yesterday. they couldn't find any d-sized batteries for their flashlights. they were also talking about that they had to charge up -- listen, if you got anything that runs on batteries, charges today. always remember, regarding your telephone, your cell phone, if you've got one of those charges in your car, you might not have electricity in the house but you can go ahead when you drive around in your car and charge up your phone. >> brian: senior meteorologist janice dean might have extra batteries. she's been tracking ian's path as it gains intensity. >> we've been telling people, if you live across florida, the gulf coast, the east coast, you need to be prepared the season. it's been quiet.

people may be caught off guard but this one. it might be a major hurricane in the next 24-48 hours. it became hurricane at 5:00 a.m. and we are expecting rapid intensification over the next couple of days as it makes its way across cuba and then into the very warm waters of the gulf of mexico. here's the bottom line, rapidly intensifying today and tonight flash flooding is likely in the cayman islands, and mudslides possible. those along the florida panhandle and the west coast need to prepare now, completing preparations. have a hurricane watch already on effect for parts of the tampa area. hurricane warnings for the cayman islands and cuba. as you get into wednesday and thursday, more uncertainty. that's why i say if you live anywhere from tampa to parts of the panhandle, up towards georgia, you need to be paying attention, because a little wobble to the left or right is going to make a difference on where the biggest impact is going to be. you see those computer models, there is a widespread as we go

through wednesday and thursday. so the consensus is that north of tampa, tallahassee, you need to pay attention. again, we have seen it time and time again, we have the forecast but a little wobble west and that hurricane is on your doorstep. category three, we think, in the next day or so. a major hurricane and landfall anywhere between wednesday and friday. foxweather.com has you covered. we'll continue to have ongoing coverage not only on fox weather, that the fox news channel, as well. steve, ainsley, brian come over to you. >> ainsley: thank you, janice. for continuing coverage you can download the fox weather app or stream fox weather on any of your connected tv devices. >> steve: that's right. all right, let's talk about some of the news of the day. brand-new russian-imposed poll came out, and it shows exactly what you're interested in regarding the midterms. keep in mind, two-thirds of americans say the midterms are more important this cycle than

in past elections. it's not surprising. these are things that we have talked about on this program for a very long time, for the most part. there are a couple of exceptions, though it's interesting is you've got at the top economy, inflation, education, but then you've got crime. crime is higher than abortion, even though there are so many democrats that are so motivated, and people in the political center and even on the right, who have said that would be -- that abortion rights would be a big topic. it is big, does not as big as the other stuff. >> people are a little shocked by this, that crime would surpass abortion among concerned americans. when asked which political party you trust to do a better job, of handling the crime issue, democrats, 34%. republicans were trusted more with 56%, saying they trust republicans with this issue. >> brian: by the way, they did a whole thing, who do you trust.

they put 18% on the inflation, 70% on the economy and on immigration. so the major issues are trending the republicans' way. over the summer, the president felt as though he was on somewhat of a role and the numbers maybe indicated that backed up. his approval rating at 39% is abysmal and it's got to be scary for those thinking, oh, my goodness, what's going to change over the next six weeks? he loses head-to-head to president trump in terms of popularity. if you want to deal poll and not really l use it, they don't even want to write about the real stomach result they got. it was mentioned and then they just walked away from it. when you have major issues that are manufactured or messaged, he thought, "wow, they really got through," you don't need a message to understand about inflation in the housing market, gas prices trending up over the last four days. i was staggered to find this out. they have released the u.s.

strategic oil reserve that is helps keep prices down, but they also got rid of the federal gas tax. you know who pays it? gas stations. so gas stations are paying for the lack of revenue they are getting from the consumer. they are responsible for it. and they are also accused of gouging along the way, which is farcical to think that gas station owners are going to gouge. when you look at how they grounded out on a daily basis, they're not gouging. >> ainsley: that might be why biden's approval rating is hitting major new lows. only 22% strongly approve as of september. that number is 34% in april. 41% strongly disapprove as of september. that was 35% in april. >> steve: ultimately what it comes down to is we talk a lot about numbers, but ultimately, how do you feel? you feel like prices are too high. actually over the last couple of days the gas prices have been going up. you feel the prices are high,

inflation is killing you. you feel like it's not safe in some parts to go out of your house. and there is a story on the cover of "the new york post" this morning, it says "holy h hell," pedro hernandez come at the end of august was involved in a 3-card monte game outside of saint pat's, and next thing you know, he lost a bunch of dough and a gold chain hacked off by the guys who did it. so he got out a gun he was carrying on his person and shot at them in their car. they took off, he gave chase. eventually they dropped the money in the gold chain. they got caught, he's now wanted for attempted murder, but this guy should not have been out on the street because he had three outstanding gun charges. >> ainsley: three open gun cases all in 2019. the busts were more than 15 arrests he had on his record at

that time. in 2017 he spent a year at rikers in jail. eventually bailed out by the robert f. kennedy human rights foundation. in 2019 he was arrested and charged with a bronx robbery. the victim was slashed in the face during that come and hernandez was released on bail. >> steve: why was he out? >> brian: they never used to be. the overwhelming number of people, it's the same criminals committing these crimes in various different ways over and over again and not going to jail. any politician that wants to put their republican or democrat moniker aside and just start keeping people safe and doing what's right for people that are law-abiding citizens, you're going to get elected, and that's why people think this might be the perfect storm for a guy like lee zeldin to emerge, because he's going to be tough on crime, and the people of new york city are desperate. the people of san francisco in this case are desperate. in philadelphia, you've got to be kidding me, it's like a daily horror show what's happening over there.

people can't live in los angeles, even the governor admitted that the homeless population is out of control. for what's happening in chicago, i mean, that's another level of unlivable. >> steve: dozens of people are shot each weekend. we would give you the numbers, and they would generally be, okay, ten people murdered, 30 people shot at. raymond lopez is running for mayor and he said he is looking at the sleep of politics. a couple years ago it was all about, "let's take the money from the police and put it into programs, take money away from that." >> brian: "reimagine." >> steve: we imagined at the time that would have dire consequences, and it has, but now the democrats are pivoting, according to mr. lopez. listen, from chicago. >> i think we are seeing now, todd, is many democrats are doing what's called the great pivot. they are trying to step back from some of their left-leaning pro-criminal policies and trying to pivot back to saying that they are for safe communities, safe neighborhoods, safe cities.

but they'll be judged by their actions over the next few years. as long as they were democratic leaders willing to stand up and defend people and not be part of the criminal enablement establishment, they will have a hard time going into not only this november election, but elections for years to come, because no one's going to forget the unease and feeling of unsafe neighborhoods that have been engendered by the democratic policies up to this point. >> steve: do you feel safe leaving your house? a lot of people don't. that's going to be a motivating factor. the quick question is if they feel safe enough to go vote in november. >> ainsley: it's mind-blowing. i cannot believe the criminals have more rights oftentimes in the victims too. and no one understands this, people are going to the polls. i talked to one person who said they are moving out of new york if lee zeldin does not win. >> brian: we'll see what happens. it's not like governor hochul has been so dynamic on the stage. if you see what governor hochul

has done on the quid pro quo, you're talking about hundreds of millions of dollars to a contractor who was charging us double what california was getting, who had a fund-raiser for governor hochul four days prior. i've never seen such audacious criminal activity. you can't pull that off. you want to lose and destroy your career, she's just trying to drive through it. >> steve: the guy on the cover of "the new york post" is suing the police because he says they're picking on him, even though he's got three open gun charges, according to "the new york post." >> ainsley: targeting and picking on him. >> steve: the police are being mean to this guide. >> brian: it's impossible to be made to carley shimkus. >> carley: thank you, brian. i do have some headlines here. staying with america's crime crisis, the new orleans police department now recruiting civilians to make up for severe staffing shortages as murder and violent crime rates soared. the plan will allow 50-75 additional people respond to

emergency calls. the city is surpassing st. louis as the murder capital of the country with a rate of 52 homicides per 100,000 residents in the last two weeks. that's up 78% from last year. five buses of migrants from texas have pulled into new york city just this morning alone. men, women, and small children stepping off the bus with more expected later on. this comes as a woman in arizona faces multiple charges, accused of trafficking hundreds of migrants across the border, charging them up to $15,000 each. republican candidate for arizona governor carrie lakey sounding off on the damage that can come from unfettered illegal immigration. >> i was just talking to the sheriff of cochise county. two of his vehicles damaged by smugglers who crashed into them trying to get away. so it is impacting arizonans every single day. >> they have been more than

230,000 migrant encounters in the tucson, arizona, sector this year alone. listen to these details here -- a major green energy group reportedly influencing the biden administration policymaking with deep ties to the chinese government. the national resources defense counsel is a nonprofit, often touting its collaboration with a wide range of chinese partners to boost eco-friendly policies. the group based out of new york has total assets exceeding $450 million. ig.o.p. spokesman saying this will be the top priority for house republicans after the midterms. did you see this? baseball fans left creeped out over the weekend after several actors sat smiling behind home plate. the actors barely moved for hours. why? this was part of a viral marketing campaign for the new horror movie, "smile," coming out later this month. [cringes]

>> i know you're nervous. >> i'm seeing something no one else can see except for me. smiling at me. >> carley: i'm already scared! the marketing was praised for being innovative, but fans and several stadiums alerted security because they were creeped out. i understand that. >> steve: all they did was set back there and they smiled? >> carley: but it was a creepy smile. i know it was a really small image, but google it. it was creepy. >> steve: brilliant marketing. whatever they paid for those three seats, now we're talking about about it. people are going to want to see that smiling movie this weekend. >> carley: but now a smile is creepy? that's supposed to be happy, not scary! >> brian: that's a good point. don't hurt the smile. what about those kids who get smiley faces when they do something right? no more. you had to put a frown on the smile. >> steve: brian, if it doesn't have to do with the movie, i think it's okay. >> brian: we'll see how big the movie is. maybe it's just the moment the

movie has a no one's going to watch it. >> steve: now i want to see the creepy smiles. 90 minutes of that. >> brian: we have stopped saying goodbye to carley. we are going to get people writing us. she just kind of walks away now. >> ainsley: goodbye, carley. thanks for those wonderful headlines. [laughter] >> carley: i'm right here! >> ainsley: the head of the atlanta fed warning that americans could lose their job if we don't get inflation under control. but democrats have a new solution. more migrants. joe concha on that suggestion, coming up next. plus... >> brian: tv icon sharon osbourne is calling out cancel culture. >> i was this lamb that was slotted that morning, and cbs denied responsibility on the news, and that's because they are [bleep] [bleep]. >> brian: what did she actually say? we'll find out on the couch. ♪ ♪ ♪ shake rattle and roll ♪

>> ainsley: joining is now to react as joe concha. what a spin, right? these immigrants come here illegally can take the jobs. >> what chuck todd just said, ainsley, is one of the most insanely idiotic things i've ever heard. at no point in his rambling -- i watch this live yesterday -- is even close to anything considered a rational thought. everyone watching and everyone in this room is dumber for having listened to it. zero points for chuck todd. that sound you hear, that's tim russert rolling over in his grave, because this is not your father's "meet the press." how can you say that injecting 5 million people into the population is a good thing? i have a wife who has a doctor, as you know, and you'll be exhausting resources just in terms of health care alone. gavin newsom has a solution to that, of course, that he just signed into law, giving those who enter this country illegally free health care. what's that going to do to the system into our education system? the fact that this is now being

touted as a good thing shows you how disconnected our media, at least some members of it, are from the general population. >> steve: joe, i understand he did not talk about how they'd been 2 million migrants coming into the country. he was just talking about how there are a lot of job openings in boston and new york and miami that nobody wants. so the question is, by extension, his thinking, we let the migrants in, they take those jobs that are open, but ultimately do they take other american jobs that currently are filled? >> particularly, steve, by people who are here illegally who went through the system of the way it is supposed to be done as far as process is concerned. remember, you say 2 million, that's for this year. remember, 2 million came over last year, and those are the ones we know about pain w when e added and got-aways, we had in the entire population of ireland entered this country and this president's first two years alo.

that's only sustainable for so much. meanwhile, what chuck didn't mention on "meet the press" yesterday is all the fentanyl coming in along with these migrants. it comes from china, goes through mexico, and into communities throughout our country. its pleasing cause of death between those 18-49. a lot of these kids don't even know they are taking. it's other things they think they are taking that are laced with fentanyl, and their parents find them face desk stomach down on their desk dead. we don't talk about that, do we, chuck? >> brian: have a book coming out about this. he is not 39% approval rating. it's one of those statements, the name of the book. >> i'm so glad you were born, brian. and ainsley, for that matter, who has a book coming at the same day as me. a children's book. i say we go on to her. i saw you in nashville tonight. i think we can do something

here. >> steve: since of your books come out the same day, that makes brian and i simply happy. [laughter] i'll be here all week. thank you very much. see you at the market basket. that's our grocery store. >> ainsley: what a cute name! >> steve: i know it! it's a story peter used to work at. meanwhile, talk about a space jam, the real-life mission to crash a spacecraft into an asteroid tonight to protect the planet. that's coming at. >> brian: we have no other choice. and mayor eric adams plans to create a tent city for migrants, in aoc's district. rachel campos-duffy went to find out what the new yorkers in that district feel, if that's a good thing or not. >> how do you feel about it? >> i'm not too thrilled about it. >> i'm not happy with that. >> i don't think new york city ken has everyone else. i think your overpopulated.

>> carley: back with headlines, starting at hurricane ian. the state of florida bracing for the storm as it intensifies in the gulf of mexico. ian reached hurricane strength early this morning. across the state, empty shelves as people stuck up with supplies.

governor ron desantis deploying the national guard as millions prepare for the first major storm of the season. to stay updated on hurricane ian, download the fox weather app. at least 13 people are dead after a school shooting in russia this morning. officials say two security guards and seven children were killed before the gunman turned the gun on himself. this taking place at a school located roughly 600 miles east of moscow. more than 20 others were also injured. the gunman was allegedly carrying a columbine key chain and wearing a nazi swastika. he was identified as a former student of the school. history in the making, later today a new nasa defense system is set to collide into an asteroid at 14,000 miles per hour. the double asteroid redirection test, or d.a.r.t., is part of nasa's larger planetary defense

initiative. former nasa astronaut clayton anderson joined us earlier to share his insight into this mission. >> the stately things where they land on it, which is not possible. the idea is the same. if it's on a trajectory that's going to pass close to earth, can we do something to push it a little bit out of the way? >> the test will take place some 7 million miles into space at about 7:14 p.m. eastern time. how cool is that? now to the miami dolphins, the punter kicking the ball into his own blocker, but the safety didn't stop from being the buffalo bills. >> gets away! oh, my goodness! that goes off to mckenzie. the clock continues to tick. the clock is at three. miami has won!

into the city at the spring. >> ainsley: eric adams plans to house them intensities. rachel campos-duffy, three names, one person, went to the bronx to see how new yorkers feel about the influx. >> steve: she joins us now. how do they feel about it being in their backyard? >> that's right, i went to somebody's district who also has three names. alexandria ocasio-cortez, to see what her constituents think about the idea. here's what happened. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ >> about a thousand migrants are going to be put up in orchard beach, about 10 minutes from here. did you know that? >> no. >> how do you feel about it? >> i'm not too thrilled about it. >> tell me why. >> i think they should find a proper place for them. not here in orchard beach. >> my opinion, i don't think new york city has the space to house anybody else. we are overpopulated at this

point. >> i'm not very happy with that. i bring my grandkids here. i've been coming here winter, summer, spring, and fall. it's a beautiful park and i think will make a big difference now. >> how do you feel about the tent city being set up here at orchard beach? >> i have no issues with it. >> this country was created on immigrants, and i think we had ellis island, the statue of liberty, "give us your hungry, give us your despaired." i think it's a good thing. >> i think that, now that they are here, if you're in a position to help, that's your job, to help. >> we are an asylum city and a sanctuary city and we should do as much as we can to maintain our status. >> as a christian my heart goes out to all those who are suffering and in need, but i feel at some point we either all come together as one and say we are going to do it this way. but i think we need to focus on the needs that we have here, especially in the bronx.

>> some people have said, why haven't they offered this kind of housing to u.s. citizens who are homeless or veterans? >> that's a lot of homeless people here in the united states around this area, as well. >> should they be prioritized over people who didn't come here illegally and are not citizens? should citizens be prioritized? >> they should. that's not fair. my opinion, i think it should go to the u.s. citizens first. we have a big home problem in new york city, as well. >> i think we should prioritize our homeless military first, and then our citizens, because we are here and we pay taxes. >> there's been no community meetings you known about? >> none i've known about. >> and you are the kind of person that would hear about that? >> i'm a person who would hear about that and attend. >> do you know who alexandria ocasio-cortez is? >> i do not. >> she is a congresswoman in this area. have you heard about how she feels about the spot being chosen? >> i don't. i haven't seen her in a while.

i would see here and my kids 'school come in the neighborhood at ferry point park, and haven't seen her pet i was thinking him away she? >> she wants these politics and now how do you feel that that? >> i don't think they are living next to her house her and her park. >> what is your message to her? >> think about what you are planning before you slam it together. >> steve: rachel? >> my take away is this -- everyone said they would zero community grassroots input on this decision. there is no way mayor adams made this decision without consulting alexandria ocasio-cortez. these open border policies are her policies, coming to her district. but i don't think her constituents knew what was coming. really quickly, a lot of people wouldn't talk to us on camera because they are afraid of being called racist if they said they didn't like this policy. censorship and cancellation alive and well in liberal

communities come as well. >> brian: just so you know, all the tax dollars are going there instead of $38 million dealing with all the other people who actually pay those taxes. absolutely. >> ainsley: rachel, thank you so much. and during the 5:00 hour, we heard you introduced as, "one woman, three names." >> brian: nine kids, one has been. >> steve: and rachel for her to another person or three names, alexandria ocasio-cortez. we reached out to her office and have not yet received a response. if we do, we will pass it along. >> ainsley: i'm sure we will. >> brian: just a matter of time. >> ainsley: stick around because we are talking everything from cancel culture to the royal family. sharon osbourne is he alive! >> steve: you are our next! ♪ ♪

meghan in that. since the queen died, i've been reading about the kind of estate she had. i saw one estimate was $500 million. i saw $10 billion, something like that. when harry walked away from the royal family, did he walk away from the big money, too? do we know? >> i don't know, but i would think so. >> steve: gigantic. >> nobody comes close to what they have. i think it was estimated at one point at $23 billion. >> steve: so charles got a lot of that, and then william of course get the big slice of the pie. the big question is if the people in california get any of it. >> ainsley: but didn't they buy a huge mansion in california? like 12 bedrooms, millions of dollars? so they have some money. >> his mama, diana, let him some money. >> brian: i find the most thing endemic interesting thing about this, they had to be embarrassed about what went on as they saw the

outpouring of support. when diana passed away, all the pressure was on the family, "how could you treat her like that." now it seems with harry and meghan, how could you treat the family like that? it seems the people in the u.k. have really taken sides, and not with that couple. >> no. and the thing that surprises me, yes, the press were really hard on meghan when she came to england, but they are hard on so many people. and they were hard on camilla. but you stick it out, you do what you have to do for your country, you win 'em overpaid but they didn't really give it a chance. >> brian: what about the book? evidently is explosive. is that why some people are reserved about having them? >> yes, and i think i read that he was going to rewrite some of it. whether it's true, i don't know. but i think he was kind of putting it off, putting it off,

because i think he probably had done something that he regretted. steel and one of the things, the queen has been alive during all of our lifetimes, so a lot of people knew that eventually whee passed that charles would take over. it's kind of light, that guy, he hadn't really done much, but now, from the coverage you guys did, and the other things i have seen from great britain, it seems like the country has really embraced him. they like him. he has risen to the occasion. >> he has done a lot, but he never got the credit for it. he was on about global warming 30 years ago. he was on about the environment 30 years ago. he was on about health food, to stop all of these things you are putting into our vegetables, and he was campaigning, too, to keep london from tearing down all the old buildings, and everybody would laugh at him. and now look. >> steve: i covered an event

when reagan was president back in the '80s. charles and diana were there. and he was all about the environment then. >> yes. >> ainsley: the guy who wrote the book about nostradamus said that he predicted, sica '22, the queen would die at 96 years old. that happened. his book sales are now through the roof. the guy who wrote the book about him. and then he predicted that the next monarch is going to be someone not predictable. so everyone is wondering, does that mean it's going to be harry and meghan? >> brian: that would be interesting. >> no way! do you want if you want someone not predictable, talking about sharon osbourne, we'll talk to her more after a quick timeout. cc first, if you don't mind, i'd like to check in with bill hemmer. >> ainsley: do you want to say hi to build? >> bill: how are you, dear? >> all right, my darling. >> bill: nice to watch a coverage from london. well done. enjoy the program this morning. back to you in a moment. some brand-new polling tells us

a very interesting things that where voters are on the issues. pay attention here now. kellyanne conway, set to analyze. the economy is on the edge. your 401(k) has been hammered. where now? big races in virginia and texas, it focused on immigration, republicans trying to flip both seats. we'll talk to the candidates they are. and it's been two years since the u.s. was hit with a hurricane. that is about to change when we see even 12 minutes. and sharon is back after this, too. i look back with great satisfaction on my 32 years of active duty. i understand the veteran mentality. these are people who have served, they'e been in leadership positions, they're willing to put their life on the line if necessary and they come to us and they say, "i need some financial help at this point in time." they're not looking for a hand out, they're looking for a little hand up. my team at newday usa is going to do everything we possibly can to make sure that veteran gets that loan.

♪ ♪ >> steve: welcome back to "fox & friends." we are back with sharon osbourne in new york. >> ainsley: you seen the promos for her series, "sharon osbourne: two hell and back." take a look. >> i've been called so many things in my life. i'm used to being called names, but a racist is what i will not take. to overcome that, you need strength. you need to turn around people and say, "you are wrong. you don't know what you're saying." and i was trained by the best. i mean, that's the truth. my dad was the best at it, and he changed me, and that's it.

>> steve: train you how? >> brian: in what way, to take people on? stand up for yourself? >> to stand up, and be strong. and he gave me a work ethic that i got from my dad. >> steve: sharon, if you had to explain to somebody who was living under a rock, they don't know what happened to you, how do you explain it? >> i explain it like, we were prepared for a show, and we had subjects. selena gomez, get this one, pepe lepew, those with a topic for the first part of the show. we always have an ear piece, and the producer was always saying -- counting us down to how long we've got. and i get there, there's nobody in my earpiece, and boom, they start, about piers, because i stuck up for piers morgan for his free speech. he can say what he wants, and

he's a journalist. i don't think many people in america got that he is a journalist. he has been the editor of two huge two huge newspapers. >> brian: also, he was standing up for the royals and saying they are not racist. and -- >> right, he got her on 17 counts, and they went through and they proved that piers was right. so he eventually -- meghan called that a network and complained and piers was let go. >> ainsley: and you stuck up for him. what happened to you? >> everybody turned against me at cbs, because i was backing piers up for freedom of speech, and they didn't like that i was backing up piers, which basically meant i didn't believe the oprah winfrey interview. so they didn't like that.

>> brian: right. it's a better show when people don't agree and everything. they should love the fact that there was someone on the ensemble cast that had a counter point of view. >> exactly, controversy. >> ainsley: it was hard for you to get through that. one of the worst point in your life, especially careerwise. >> well, it was 20 minutes. we never do a segment of 20 minutes on the show that i was on. never. at most, maybe four. so they were going on and on, and they kept going in my earpiece, "can you hear me?" nothing. they left me out there. >> steve: why do you think that is? >> i honestly don't know. i think they said they wanted gentle controversy. well, that wasn't gentle at all. i had to tell women -- >> steve: attacking you. >> attacking me on air. >> ainsley: who was the worst in that situation?

>> ms. youngblood. >> ainsley: i? >> because i was a friend and i had worked with her for ten and a half years. i sat beside her. she was my friend. she used to joke that she wanted to be an osbourne, she wanted to marry my son. we would laugh together, try to get it. >> steve: it is such a complicated story and it is in the four-part series, "sharon osbourne:to hell and back." you have to watch it, because you have been to hell and back. now you're here and it's good having. >> thank you so much. >> brian: more "fox & friends" in a moment. our windshield ...and recalibrate your safety system. >> customer: and they recycled my old glass. >> tech: don't wait. schedule today. >> singers: ♪ safelite repair, safelite replace. ♪
