with the latest. todd? >> steve, ainsley and brian, good morning. buffalo bills providing us when an update on damar hamlin's status overnight tweeting damar hamlin suffered a cardiac arrest following a hit in our game vs. the bengals. his heart beat was restored on the field and he was transferred to the u.k. medical center for further testing and treatment. is he currently sedated and listed in critical condition. the 24-year-old safely got up briefly after tackling receiver tee higgins before dropping to the turf. an ambulance was brought out onto the field. before he was rushed off hamlin receiving cpr for several minutes leaving many players visibly shaken. some of his teammates in tears after this chilling sequence. both teams coming together for on field prayer before returning to locker rooms. the game was suspended for an hour after ultimately being postponed. the nfl holding a conference call with officials from the league and players association just after midnight where they said the focus is on hamlin's

status. his parents were both at the game and were brought down from the stands. several outlets reporting they rode with their son in the ambulance to the hospital. fans lighting candles outside the medical center overnight as prayers for hamlin and his family pour. in bills quarterback josh allen tweeting please pray for our brother while tee higgins the bengals receiver involved in the coalition with hamlin writing i'm praying that you pull through, bro. and football hall of famer and bills great jim kelly never before i have witnessed anything like this. the game doesn't matter, praying for damar and his family. some players staying in cincinnati as hamlin remains hospitalized. no word yet on when or if the game against the bengals will be continued. the focus now squarely on hamlin's health and meantime in the hours after his collapse, the bills mafia bengals fans and folks across our nation donating more than $3 million to damar hamlin's charity toy drive for kids in his hometown.

that number growing by the minute. back to you. >> ainsley: that goal is 2500 that's so sweet. so many people have donated to that go fund me page and now they have raised more than 3,000 to buy toys for children. >> steve: 3 million. that's a lot. >> ainsley: yeah, 3 million. >> steve: thanks, todd. >> brian: marketing representative had this out around 11:3406789 vitals back to normal and putting him to sleep breathing tube down his throat. running tests and provide updates when we have them. not confirmed when asked who your source is he said me, i'm there. one of the people who retweeted this that makes you think it's valid rich eyesen one of the first hired in the nfl network one of the most respected broadcast journalists there. >> steve: it was one of the scariest on field scenes we have seen on monday night football or nfl history it. came down to one play. he, mr. hamlin made a first quarter tackle on bengals

receiver tea higg combination. he took the brunt of it. and he hop to his feet immediately after and adjusted his face mask and fell on his back. he ambulance came on the field. he takes a right shoulder into the chest at the level of the heart. and as we have heard since then, it was great mystery when this was broadcast live last night on espn but apparently he did suffer a cardiac arrest. the good news as brian just said, his vitals are back to normal and they have sedated him with a feeding tube and a breathing tube until he is completely stable. >> ainsley: what was nice to see are the teams coming together. the reason they decided to postpone it the bengals head coach and several players and even the quarterback joe burrow they walked into the bills locker room. they met with the head coach of buffalo sean mcdermott they collectively as two teams decided to postpone this game because his life more important than football.

the notified. the nfl released that statement. roger goodell the commissioner announced the postponement. lebron james my thoughts and super prayers go up to the skies above for the kid's family everybody part of the nhl. >> there is a condition called can a model court tis. phenomenon anyone when somebody hits somebody's chest. by you hit by something on the field it. started when came into the national consciousness in an eighth grade lacrosse game when a ball hit a young player in the chest. they had no protection it hits between beats of the heart. unlikely it happens but you need protection. the fact that he stood up right away and fell right back down indicative of it. one of the reasons aeds defill brie later on all fields.

especially the most best financed league in the world for this reason. you got to get to the heart right away. one of the things them did to show you they did the right thing is cut his clothes off. the minute they cut his clothes off. that opens up to see that everything is intact so they what they got to do is restart the heart. they basically confirmed that they restored his pulse. which is why the players had such a severe reaction when they saw him. now, think about this. people have seen broken legs and have you seen the car crashes that happen every single sunday. everything they see they have never seen anything like that that's when you knew it was serious. they weren't waiting for the league. the teams looked at each other. met in the locker room we are not playing. the league said we never thought about playing. somebody came up with a rule in five minutes we go back to action. troy vincent nfl executive and six time pro bowler i don't know where they got the five minutes from we never thought they would

play battling for the number one seed in the afc. the world was holding their breath collectively. we were all waiting for that moment when he was put on a stretcher and then he would give us the thumbs up that he was going to be okay. that never happened. ryan clark is a former nfl player back in 2007 he, too, was injured on the field. and, do you know what? the guys around him who he played with didn't think he was going to make it out, either. here are the things he has told espn last night. >> so many times in this game and in our job as well we use the cliches, you know, i'm ready to die for this. i'm willing to give my life for this. it's time to go to war. and i think sometimes we use those things so much we forget

that part of living this dream is putting your life at risk. and tonight, you know, we got see a side of football that is extremely ugly. a side of football that no one ever -- a side of football that no one wants to see or ever wants to admit exists. when you see both teams on the field crying in that way first thought damar hamlin. the second thought is his family. this isn't about a football player. right? this is about a human this is about our brother. there is about a son. there is about a friend. this is about someone who is loved by so many that you have to watch go through this. i dealt with this before and i watched my teammates for days come to my hospital bed and cry. i had them call me and tell me that they didn't think i was going to make it. now this team has to deal with that and now they have no answers. so the next time we get upset

that our favorite fantasy player or we're upset that the guy on our team doesn't make the play, and we're saying he is worthless. and we are saying you get to make all of this money, we should remember that these men are putting their lives on the line to live their dream and tonight damar hamlin's dream became a nightmare for not only himself and his family and his entire team. >> steve: so well put. >> brian: 2:45 in the morning the buffalo bills landed a contingency to greet them. we'll see what happens. i don't think we have ever had this before. covid caused so many changes where all of a sudden we had wednesday night football. all of a sudden you have tuesday night football. five guys tested positive. the coach says you can't play. whatever it is. so this is something the nfl hasn't seen. until his condition, until is he in the clear and we hope it's any moment. maybe within our show, they are not even going to think about rescheduling. >> ainsley: i can't nag what his mother is going through getting in the ambulance with his son praying for his life.

>> steve: she was in the stands they brought her down to the ambulance. they both went to the university of cincinnati level one trauma center. in that area that's the best place he possibly could have gone. >> ainsley: this morning showing video or maybe it was last night. i know you were on talking about it last night. i was watching the toy drive during christmas trying to raise 2500 to do so trying to donate the toys to the children in his hometown as todd was talking about it. he was dancing around with the children and passing out presents. it was really sweet. here is the video. here he is laughing. playing with all the kids. trying to give them toys. and here he is, you know, he played i'm sure for the local high school team. >> brian: played for the university of pittsburgh. >> ainsley: this was mckee's rock pennsylvania where he grew up. he wanted to give back to his community. because he is now i'm sure making millions. now he is saying i want to help my community. >> brian: second year player emerged as a starter on one of the best teams in football shows you how talented is he. >> steve: his agent said please

continue to pray for damar and his family and we will. >> coming up a severe weather outbreak in the south. the tornado damage on the ground as a powerful winter storm brings snow to other parts of the country. >> steve: plus, congressional chaos get ready for it congress. congress is set to convene at noon but who will wind up getting elected speaker of the house? the smallest of republicans say they won't vote for kevin mccarthy under any circumstances. one of them joins us live to explain why and who they would vote for. ♪ ♪ find your potential then own it support your immune system with a potent blend of nutrients and emerge your best every day with emergen-c when your v-neck looks more like a u-neck, that's when you know, it's half-washed.

today and house republicans are promising to launch investigations into hunter biden's overseas dealingsing 65,000 mourners lining up outside of if aville can a to pay respects. brought the retired pontiff's body to the main altar where he lies in state. predicted about 30,000 people attend the viewing. by the end of the day that number doubled. the catholic faithful is preparing to say its final farewell to benedict at thursday's funeral led by pope francis and those are your headlines, guys. the numbers, can you expect that though with being the holiday season then you factor in barbara walters, there is a greater legend in news i don't know who it is. what a few days. >> steve: terrible. thank you very much, ashley.

all right. so today at newspaper they are officially going to start the 11th u.s. congress he has already moved into the speaker's office and he has been working the phones negotiating withholdouts. there are, some are saying, between 14, 15, or 16 different republicans who are saying absolutely not to kevin mccarthy. is he only afford to lose four republicans. won't get it on the first ballot. ing. >> ainsley: the gavel will be removed from nancy pelosi. the republicans have said over and over they are so eager to start the investigations and look into the doj and fbi and abuse of power allegedly. they are anxious to look at hunter biden. >> steve: they have lots to do.

>> ainsley: the origins of covid. first they have to elect a speaker and they don't have the votes. if he doesn't get the number of votes he needs on first "time." >> steve: 218. >> ainsley: second vote. first time that's ever happened in the last 100 years. >> brian: the question is what did kevin mccarthy do or what did he pledge to do or not do ticked them off. they talk about swamp. leadership. if you want a leader that actually produced over the last four years no one has turned over more seats and biggest surprise in 2020 than kevin mccarthy and slight margin this time is he only lose five votes or four votes and he has already lost five. so he sat down with gaetz, lauren boebert and scott perry. none of them left the meeting converted. but interesting, congressman done bacon of nebraska said monday that a band of moderate democrats would work with -- republicans would work with democrats to elect mccarthy. they are frustrated. as are a lot of people. think about this. you're not saying 50/50 who is going to get the 51st vote.

that's controversial. he is 85% there. almost everyone's there. >> ainsley: more votes than anyone else. who else do they have? >> brian: if they said hey, listen, he won't do anything on the border. he's not doing anything with under biden. he is not going to do anything to go reduce spending. almost debating things that are their egos nothing to do with america. i'm not even talking about republicans. republicans or democrats. they can't grab on to anything except for i guess they want to get a little bit more notoriety in their lives. >> steve: ultimately, and, brian, you mentioned don bacon. done bacon a republican from the unicameral state of nebraska, what he has suggested that in the past he said we are not going to be held hostage however, right now, they are being held hostage. he said yesterday if mccarthy bows out, he may run a candidate against scalise if scalise is on the second ballot. he says that the guy he has got

in mind, the person he has government in mind is currently in congress. but will not be in the next congress. and so that means it looks like fred upton, who is leaving congress. now, the brilliance of that move is the fact that democrats would vote for fred upton, is he a moderate. he also voted for the impeachment of donald trump. so, essentially, they are putting that out there as a back stop. hey, you don't like mccarthy, how would you like fred upton? >> ainsley: what about andy biggs. >> steve: andy biggs would would be on the first. >> >> brian: he is ready to take on mark levin that will really unite conservatives. >> ainsley: motion to. if i don't do a good job and you don't like me can you vote me out. >> brian: crazy. >> steve: take five people right now. he is talking about just one person. ultimately though, if they had that vote, then a majority of people would stick up for him. and here's the thing.

>> brian: to me that is the craziest thing to give into. >> how are you supposed to do your job. you have 200 people you are going to be religion. if five don't like what you do, then you are out and some conservatives who backed mccarthy said wait a second. why did you agree to that if you agree to that, then how effective are you going to be as speaker. you can't kiss everyone's butt in order to do that job. you have got to do what's better for the whole or dare i say better for the country. >> ainsley: probably says i will do anything once you become speaker once i'm speaker i will do just a phenomenal job they will love me. >> steve: that rule used to be on the house. it was nancy pelosi who said no, we're going to get rid of that. so the "new york post" has got an editorial, their lead editorial is to these renegade republicans. and it's the headline stop sabotaging mccarthy's bid to be speaker. here what happens they say. they say okay, this is their plan. of the republicans, those renegade republicans, the

dissidence. step 1, rather than hit the ground running after four years out of power in the house, deny party leader kevin mccarthy the speakership by handful of votes. step two, we got no idea. actually, so, what is their idea? bob good, one of these dissident republican was on with "fox & friends" yesterday. and griff jenkins said okay, you're not going to vote for kevin mccarthy? who are you going to vote for? watch. >> what we'll do is we'll block kevin. there there be 10 to 15 minutes vote against him on the first ballot tomorrow that will vote for andy biggs. but then i think you'll see on second ballot an increasing number of members vote for a true candidate who can represent the conservative center the conference can motivate the base and inspiral republicans across the country and get the 218 votes. bring our conference together to fight against the radical democrat agenda. the most extreme agenda we have ever seen. going to resist for a few more hours what i have resisted for the last several weeks as you

know he would if we were to put forth a name right now over the last few weeks that, person would suffer all of the attacks and. >> you don't have a name. >> absolutely, griff, you will see that name tomorrow on the second ballot. >> brian: griff, just such a great job. just because bob good really isup set, reportedly because bob good wasn't endorsed by kevin mccarthy. and kevin mccarthy financed the guy who was running against him in the primary because -- because the guy. >> steve: he was the minority leader. >> brian: always supports the incumbent. for this guy to be angry he didn't call me right away after i won. so, is this personal? can anyone -- you should not take this job if it's about your ego and your own personal agenda. the whole thing should be service for the country and the subset is your party. please explain to me how this helps your party. you are looking like idiots in front of the country. >> ainsley: exactly.

republicans need to unite. ithe democrats don't have this problem. they have been out of the majority for four years and this is how they want to begin it divided. >> brian: can i just build on what you said? reminds me of two years ago nancy pelosi with a slight majority had to deal with the left wing of her party. they clearly disagree with nancy pelosi. so, to their credit, the squad is totally different on a different place than the speaker some of the knew they got to get behind closed doors and work it out. all they say is he is a swamp creature or he didn't do this or i don't like him. they don't like him. that's not an agenda. >> steve: so who are the names at the house freedom caucus and these dissident republicans are talking about? i spoke to somebody very close to the house freedom caucus last night, they have two names. steve scalise and donald trump. >> ainsley: ballot number one the vote is today. you said at noon. if they don't have enough votes, it goes ballot 2. it sounds like based on that

soundbite it happens today as well. >> steve: absolutely. kevin mccarthy privately has said he will do everything in his power to stay on the floor until he is elected. and keep in mind and for these dissident republicans, there are rule changes that they have had in the past where rather than a majority of 218. they could simply go for a plurality and then kevin mccarthy would win if they had that rule change and then all these people who had said never in a million years, suddenly he will be the speaker and they will find a slim pickens on committee assignments going forward. >> brian: now you know why paul ryan threw up his hands and said i'm quitting. >> ainsley: originally nine holdouts it's up to 14 now. >> brian: back to top story. buffalo bills safety damar hamlin is in critical condition after collapsing on the field last night. will case numwill cain reacts at

world comes together for him. cabenuva is the only complete, long-acting hiv treatment you can get every other month. cabenuva helps keep me undetectable. it's two injections, given by my healthcare provider, every other month. it's one less thing to think about while traveling. hiv pills aren't on my mind. a quick change in my plans is no big deal. don't receive cabenuva if you're allergic to its ingredients or taking certain medicines, which may interact with cabenuva. serious side effects include allergic reactions post-injection reactions, liver problems, and depression. if you have a rash and other allergic reaction symptoms, stop cabenuva and get medical help right away. tell your doctor if you have liver problems or mental health concerns, and if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or considering pregnancy. some of the most common side effects include injection-site reactions, fever, and tiredness. if you switch to cabenuva, attend all treatment appointments. every other month, and i'm good to go. ask your doctor about every-other-month cabenuva.

>> brian: a fox news alert now buffalo bills safety damar hamlin ask in critical condition this morning. he went into cardiac arrest and collapsed on the field after a tackle during the game last night against the cincinnati bengals. "fox & friends" co-host with a rich sports background will cain joins us now who carried a lot of our coverage last night. will, we do know they admitted or said they had to restore his pulse on the field.

that explains, along with tearing off of the clothes why everyone thought and was right to think this is different than anything else. >> yeah. and it looked different, brian. immediately, when you saw it. i was actually in my car listening to it on the radio all i could hear was the reaction from the announcers from the stadium, from the fans, salute eerie quiet from the stadium and players. i ultimately saw the video that you are talking about. we all knew, brian, we knew immediately this was different. where sadly we somewhat expect to see a traumatic injury on the football field always revolving around the spine or the head. this was obviously something very different immediately. and, you know, you and i both were on the air last night. i thought you did an excellent job, brian. you brought up, without speculating none of us know exactly what happened you brought up something that i actually reported on when i was at espn. did i an investigative piece on commotio cordis which is blunt

force trauma to the chest. and you don't really -- look, it's incredibly rare period and even when you do hear about it it's usually lacrosse as you brought up last night or baseball or soccer but it can interrupt the rhythm of the heart. is that what happened? we don't know. we will have to hear from the doctors. we certainly did last night they said this was a possibility. immediately you knew it was different. immediately the players reacted differently. and immediately while there is a lot of stuff going on out there. and immediately people are going to different camps. we will search for the truth. we saw americans and sports fans come together last night. >> brian: that was great. at a time a few years ago when people were kneeling, standing, kneeling standing, black, white, nfl bad, good no. this was all instinctive. there was no marketing agent saying this is how you react. this is all instinctive. these guys what turns out to be a car wreck every single play, strongest fastest players crashing into each other over the course of four quarters for

now 18 weeks through the playoffs no. one as jim gray brought up last night serve healthy but you don't expect this. remember when reggie brown got hit the second year player and he wasn't breathing and he remembers people standing over him going he's not breathing. darryl distinctly in the 70s paralyzed on the spot. they went back and played that game. so smart not to play this game. wasn't even considered. in retrospect, why was this so clear and back then we did what we did? >> will: you know, i don't know the answer to that, brian. and there are people that immediately want to go whether or not we can blame the nfl for how long they took to cancel this game. i mean, this is -- they're dealing with a chaotic, tragic situation with limited information in real time. and i think that -- i just can't find the room for criticism for the nfl taking what did it end up being, brian, a little over

an hour before the game was called? something like that. and, you know, i saw doctors say this last night. there is no place better for this to have happened nfl trauma room than on nfl field. dozens of doctors two camps. hospital on call for every single nfl game. aidaed available immediately. no one could have been taken care of more quickly outside of hospital environment than damar hamlin last night. they search for blame. they search for ways. i don't want to blame them because they want to make sure it doesn't happen again. this is where our focus was and ought to be laudably on this young man. incredible young man with a charity set up now been exploded overnight to $3 million. people standing up, helping. not just sending their money but sending their prayers to this young man as his friends, his family, his teammates and america send their prayers to

damar hamlin. >> brian: just to answer your question 8:55 the injury occurs. 9:18 temporarily suspended the game. ambulance leaves the stadium. 9:25. 10:01 the game officially close. both coaches came together in the bills locker room and said we are not playing and consulting with the commissioner. i'm sure the commissioner was not pushing back. i have no criticism at all on anyone. i'm just taking note. and i think you said the same thing. and then sooner or later, as soon as he is cleared and we hope it's today. i hope it's now. the nfl has got to go okay, we got play this game. and we got play next week. and we got do the playoffs. and it's going to be not an easy decision all around. will cain, thanks so much. great job. >> will: all right. thanks, brian. >> brian: still ahead, no house, no speaker. our next guest is one of nine republicans refusing to committing to voting for kevin mccarthy later today. congressman scott perry joins us to explain why. plus, a florida bartender

situation in washington, d.c. and steve, i want to let you know that anticipating this moment i started the negotiation with leader mccarthy back in the summer to say, look, the status quo cannot continue. everybody knows that washington is broken. let's talk about what we can do to change what that is. but, in the summertime, leader mccarthy wasn't really interested in talking to me because he figured we were going to have this huge red wave. i went back to him in the fall and said hey, let's talk about how we run things and how things d how we can change this the status quo. everybody knows this is the swamp. they call it the uniparty, whatever. let's make some changes. but he wasn't interested at the time. the only time he became mildly interested was right after the election. i was in here on wednesday morning after the election and it was clear that we were going to have a very thin majority. then he was interested in talking. steve, kevin mccarthy has known for months now that he doesn't have 218. yet, he has dragged us, the conference, the republican

conference, congress, and the country up until the brink of this moment. we went to him last night and said, look, we have got a deal that can get you 218. i took one of the guys that has been never mccarthy since the beginning with me to the meeting. he rejected. he said, look, we want to make committees more representative. and he said but i need names you have got to be specific. i gave him names. he rejected that. we said on policy, what do you want to do? well, we have a border plan. the texas border plan that all of the texas delegation has agreed. to say. >> steve: congressman. >> go ahead. >> steve: so you had a meeting last night. according to punch bowl what you said is one of the things you wanted was you wanted to be able to place the house freedom caucus members on committees before the speaker election and he said no. i can't do that. >> well, steve, this is how this works. >> steve: did that happen. >> prior to the speaker selection. once the speaker becomes elected

then promises aren't kept and there's nothing you can do about it. you have got to know and i'm sure you do that the speaker's position is incredibly powerful. all committees who is on committees who chairs committees. and the things. the policies that come out of committees. >> steve: okay. >> kevin has been in leadership for 14 years. >> and nobody came to this town saying washington is doing great. we don't want to change anything. it's the status quo. the only way to change the status quo is to either change how we do things or change the people that are doing the things. >> steve: you made it very clear, congressman, you don't want kevin mccarthy because for a myriad of reasons that you have just given over the last two minutes. if kevin mccarthy is not your person, who is it? >> well, i would say, first of all, i would say this, steve. up until last night and including at this moment, i still can vote for kevin mccarthy if we can come to an agreement that changes the status quo. >> steve: then, congressman,. >> never kevin camp that's number one. >> steve: hold on, what is the one thing you want.

>> the one thing we want is to change how things are done here so we don't have the same outcomes like we just had a week and a half ago where we're 1.7 trillion. >> steve: that's two broad. >> 4:00 in the morning 4,000 pages and oftentimes our leadership in the republican party votes with the democrats. that's what we don't want. >> steve: he wouldn't agree to that? >> no. >> steve: okay. then who do you want? >> well, look, we will be happy to take anybody that agrees to these things. we will take jim jordan. if don bacon has a better candidate that will agree to these things, let's talk about it. but we shouldn't have -- we don't have to be where we are right now. >> steve: right. >> we started the conversation last summer. >> steve: sounds like don bacon's candidate is fred upton, will you vote for fred upton. >> fred upton won't do any of these things either. that's the problem. we are trying to change the trajectory of washington, d.c. fight the left and quit ending up with everything the left wants after people spend their hard earned money supporting

republican candidates and being disappointed time and time again. we wouldn't be having this conversation right now if i was in the senate and we just voted for mitch mcconnell. you would say what's wrong with these people. don't you understand you keep getting the same thing? you're doing the same thing. well, doing the same thing and expecting different outcomes is the definition of insanity. we're trying to stop the insanity. >> steve: i have heard that expression. congressman, i have heard from people at the house freedom caucus that they like two names out there, steve scalise and donald trump. >> well, i'm sure we do like it but i don't think they are the right people for speaker. they may be, but we should have a conversation. but here we are at this very moment because the one guy that could make all the difference refuses to make any of these changes. >> steve: so even though all that stuff you have said you just said, is it a possibility you this could still vote for kevin mccarthy a little afternoon? >> absolutely. let's sit down and talk. there's time. we got hours left. i just looked at the clock.

>> steve: okay. you know, and we have heard theaf will do whatever it takes to stay on the floor until he gets the number of votes. so, it looks like a little more negotiating could be in order. congressman scott perry, from the great state of pennsylvania. >> thank you. >> steve: thank you very much for joining us live and good luck. >> thank you, god bless you. >> steve: i thought he was a no. he is a maybe. all right. ashley? >> ashley: going to switch gears and start with this. the man accused of ambushing a grouch nypd officers on new year's eve bickford machete is charged with murder. trevor bickford is still in the hospital after officers shot him in the shoulder. all three of the officers hurt in the machete attack are now out of the hospital. a florida bartender getting a pretty big pat on the back from police for tackling a crazed gunman. the man rushed the gunman who put a woman in a head lock and then fired six shots. now, thankfully the bartender
