him. after the game, postponing the game out of grave concern about his health. >> ainsley: garrett tenney live with the forecast. >> good morning. you can tell something was wrong 5 minutes into the first quarter of the game. >> damar hamlin playing defense for the buffalo bills. the bengals receiver this was not a violent, vicious collisions but hamlin popped back up. a moment later he wobbled and fell straight backwards. the medical personnel rushed onto the field, performed cpr for 9 minutes using a defibrillator until his heartbeat was restored while other players, a lot of them visibly shaken shielded hamlin from the crowd and the cameras. the ambulance came onto the field 3 minutes later. eventually rushed the 24-year-old to the uc medical center, level 1 trauma center a few minutes down the road appear the buffalo bills tweeted out,

"damar hamlin suffered a cardiac arrest and his heartbeat restored on the field and he was transferred to the uc medical center for further testing and treatment. he is currently sedated and listed in critical condition." the game has been indefinitely postponed. the fans gathered outside of the hospital overnight, some of them holding candles. the entire sporting world is offering thoughts and prayers for sp damar hamlin and josh aln who tweeted, "please pray for our brother. in collision with him when med emergency and my prayers and thoughts go out to the family. i'm praying that you pull through, bro. in the hours since his collapse, the bills mafia bengals fans and folks across the nation looking for a way to help have donated more than $3 million to aches and unity drive in hometown of pittsburgh that growing by the

minute. for the latest on his condition late last night, his rev said the vitals were back to the small. he's been intubated but remains in critical condition. we have the shot to the hospital for an update and hoping for more later this morning. we will come of course, keep you updated. >> brian: thank you so much a live report from chicago. >> the bengals were trailing. and then you see this tackle. we will not show but because it does show damar making the tackle, standing up after getting to the ground and then falling right back onto his back. it seems as though the shoulder went right into his chest. it looks as though it could be something to do with the condition he was in. it got so bad they knew right when they got to him, this was serious. they ripped off his closed and they restored his heartbeat. about a half an hour later, as you see, drive him over in the ambulance to the hospital.

at which time come about a half an hour later, both sides said, "we are not going to play. we are down for the day." that is where the game will stay because it's about tomorrow. hamlin in his condition. who was the outside buffalo in the university of pittsburgh who went to school and how much do you know about the six round draft the six year as a start, one of the best defenses in football? here's an idea what he was like and how he has relished every moment in the nfl here this was from an interview he was doing on a local broadcast. >> having someone like dean be able to play with me. it is so surreal. i can't describe it but i cherish it every second i can every second of every day. we just had a prayer every wednesday. i grabbed his hand a little bit order just because, you know, you never know when the last day could be you get to experience something like this. so, i'm cherishing every moment

i can. >> ainsley: gosh, he's only 24 years old. he has his whole life ahead of him. probably making pretty good money in the nfl and giving back to the community. that video, maybe we can show if you haven't seen all the kids in his hometown. he's from a small town in pennsylvania. i believe at a small town, i've never heard of it. but he goes on to his community christmas time and giving out toys to the kids there. some of them are needy children that don't have christmas gifts. he is raising this money and starts a gofundme account for the foundation. his goal was $2,500. now, after this happened yesterday so many people found out online he's a good person to start this, so they started donating money. this morning at 3:00 a.m., the count was $3 million. 100% goes to buy toys for the kids. >> steve: the whole country is opening their hearts. and let's bring in michele tafoya and no one knows the

highlights, the host of "sideline sanity with michele tafoya." good morning, this was just awful. >> it is really hard to explain. i think you saw it on the faces of the players and with the media athletic trainers and medical staff got to damar hamlin. they rehearse these moments. so not only do football players practice they are plays, but the medical staff's rehearse for spinal injuries, for moments like this. and that is why they were able to be out there so quickly and revive him. we are hearing restore his heartbeat on the field. that means his heart stopped. this kid's heart stopped on the field. they got it back through cpr and got him to the nearest trauma center. every nfl center has every leved to it that is close to the stadium so that in case something like this happens, you

can transport the player as quickly as possible. all of the protocols were followed. now, it is fingers crossed and hoping for this kids recovery. >> brian: michelle, watching the coverage last night, we were able to see the coaches and players talking in the hallways, the alleyways, can you describe as a reporter, what are you there to do when the game stops and this becomes a new story? >> this happened to me in 2013 and december, december 2nd gary kubiak the head coach of east and texans collapsed at halftime. we didn't know if he would live or die. we were very, very careful. so the first thing is you have to be very cautious. you have to lock in. you become less about xs and os and more about "get it right." yes, you want to have it right away and answer the questions, but you want to get it right. so you are observing everything you can possibly observe. you are getting as close as you can. but of course, in a situation like this it is very sensitive. you want to keep the prez away

from the players on the coaches. this is a private moment. certainly there are questions about how the nfl and how quickly they postpone the game and et cetera. this is the first time we have ever seen anything like those. those responses were enfolding as the questions were being answered. all you have to do is be eyes and ears. number one, be accurate try to keep your calm and your cool. because this can stop. >> ainsley: when you watch the reaction of the fans and see how they came together, it was pretty impressive. i know you've been covering sports for a long time. have you ever seen anything like this where the other team is lighting up the football stadium with the other teams colors in support as a tribute to damar hamlin? or when those team's fans go to the hospital to stand outside and hold hands and pray for an individual? normally, they are rivals and trying to win the game.

but in this, such an american moment of all teams, all sides coming together. >> well, the one it reminds me of is when raymond's quarterback lamar jackson suffered a concussion against the bills. all of the bills fans and players donated to his charity and tried to raise him up that way. so this is -- you are right in american reaction. we are so generous. the fact that this happened on monday night football in front of the eyes of millions and millions of americans. those who were watching immediately heard about this, i think, tuned in and stunned at that it was sobering. these guys are young, they are healthy, they are fit, they are strong and they seem visible. obviously, they are not. this is a moment we realize the virtuality of life. >> steve: those big, strong men were nonprime last night. let's hope we get good news from the hospital later today.

michele, thank you for joining us live. >> thank you. >> ainsley: thanks, michele. >> brian: eight:tendencies and coming up a little less than four hours, kevin mccarthy is going to hope that it becomes house speaker on the first vote, but you know what can it doesn't look like that will happen. >> ainsley: he needs 218 votes however 14 g.o.p. lawmakers holding support right now at least. >> brian: mark meredith promises to give us the latest from capitol hill and please don't walk away and not supporters. >> brian, ansley, steve, i'm not going anywhere because a crazy day in washington and a new era beginning because republicans are set to regain control of the house of representatives but there is a lot of drama unfolding because we don't know who the next speaker of the house is going to be. california congressman kevin mccarthy fighting for his career, his long campaign for the speaker's job. he is doing all he can to shore up support at the last minute and the final hours. reporters caught up with him

last night on capitol hill. take a listen. >> look, will your votes be locked in tomorrow? >> we will have a good day tomorrow. >> republicans only have a slim majority in the house. and give and kevin mccarthy can only lose four votes. and without that it goes to a second ballot. the numbers he shooting for is 218. depending on whether or not the elect, the numbers could change. this is why this is an uphill battle. 14 members have doubts or will not support mccarthy and the speaker's race today. he has been meeting with the same critics, but we don't know if it will do much good. >> there's nothing he's done to earn my vote. nothing that indicates to me he will change his pattern since he's been in leadership where he's part of the swamp cartel. >> so mccarthy is still facing a lot of interparty fighting from republicans. of course, we are looking to see if there is some sort of last minute deal that may change people's minds. we have seen him try to reach

out with an olive branch with rule changed for republicans or whoever be the majority to change the speaker in order to change lives of going forward. as we heard from lawmakers, too little, too late and they want to see support action taken for mccarthy's party. this gets way in the new hour with a call into session but we will see if we have answers several hours from now, brian. >> mark, to some watching, it seems very personal because yout dissident republican spirit who do you like? i will not tell you. >> personal? politics is a tough business of course for a reason but you are right, you can imagine for the republicans this brings all sorts of trauma and interparty feuds? on a day they would be trying to celebrate because of course they are able to regain control of the chamber. we haven't seen white house reactions since they came back from st. croix yesterday here at

saint peters will be in the chair. so we will see if they have anything to say specifically on this kind of drama unfolding. the president will work with house republicans when they won in november but whether or not to work with the who the next speaker is is yet to be seen. >> ainsley: the congressman elect until noon? >> that is correct. >> ainsley: but the seat has closed until noon. >> steve: they can't be sworn in until there was a speaker. >> i believe a clerk of the house appointed by the democratic congress that will be in charge, noon hour and not pelosi herself. as she talked about all these members are in limbo until they get the speaker's race done. i would imagine there would be a lot of question to find solution sooner than rather than later. >> ainsley: what you think will happen deep down? you cover this for living. >> if i have all the money in my wallet, i learned not to make a bet because you never know what will happen. mccarthy seems like he is very confident. he certainly has support. it's not like they have nobody

supporting him. they would be on him to somehow pull through but of course, whether that magic number and like steve mentioned, we don't know who else will be put forth. is somebody else waiting in the wing, okay, if not mccarthy, somebody else, guys periods be one and the other thing is, i don't see the difference between steve scalise and kevin mccarthy. and it sounds like steve scalise behind the scenes trying to get the job, he's not. people are approaching him and maybe they are doing that but he's correcting them back to say kevin is the guy. they have waited a long time for this. which is so bizarre because democrats enter after they lose and tried to reconfigure the new leaders after an election loss by democrats in the house felt pure they are usually the problem. but they transition to a new generation instantly. steny hoyer is there but not in power. nancy pelosi is still there but not power, congress still in power. but -- >> ainsley: how quickly they

united on that. the younger people to have bigger roles into democratic party. the republicans are not uniting in this effort. originally, there were five withholding and then nine of them signed a letter they were withholding. so that is why 14 total. >> steve: statement because kevin mccarthy does have a majority, but the house freedom caucus they were talking about steve scalise and donald trump. so stay tuned. it all starts -- >> ainsley: is that even possible? >> steve: you do not have to be a sitting congressman. 60 minutes after the top of the hour and ashley strohmier joins us with international news. >> i do, guys we start with moscow heavy casualty for rocket attack in a russian occupied region of eastern ukraine. the kremlin said 63 soldiers were killed at the stroke of midnight new year's day in a strike on eight emulation stockpile. they are claiming for number of dead is much higher in russian say 6,000 of their troops have been killed since the start of

commotion or disorder in the heart. and it turns out to be true that blunt trauma, that means nontrauma, that means for example baseball to the chest, soccer ball to the chest or hockey puck to the chest or in this case may be helmet to the chest is and can provoke very serious and often times end-of-life heart rhythm disturbances. when that blunt trauma is delivered at just the right time at just the right point in the cardiac cycle and just the right location on the chest wall, that is likely what happened to last night tragically to this young man. it's not quite like the heart stops as michelle was telling us earlier. it stops being effective and quivers and does not provide the body with the fresh oxygen that he needs. so it is a life-threatening event. certainly, that is what occurred

and why at the heart rhythm so quickly. >> brian: they got a mall and standing up quickly and pulling back is part of what you would say what do you think he's going through now and the doctors concentrating on and his greatest worry if he is your patient? >> brian, when these patience survive, and thank the lord he did survive. what happens now is there is an effort to preserve his neurologic function. often times these patience are actively cooled. that means they are put into a coma at the core temperature is dropped. that allows these patience to have less neurologic injury an entry to the other vital organs as they begin their recovery process. so what is important here just to get a sense that getting the heart back, that is to get the heart rhythm reestablish is not the whole end game. because a long period of time where he basically did not have

becomes elected, then promises aren't capped and there is nothing you can do about it. the status quo cannot continue. everybody knows washington is broken. we went to set clear up anything? take texas congressman dan crenshaw says he's known about this for a month. congressman, what is your to? >> it is completely the opposite. look, you have these members and you showed who they are. no one knows what their goal is. their goal they say is for a noble cause, but the cause of conservatism for the people, for holding the swamp accountable in these phrases they will used to make themselves seem like they are white knights out there to save you. of course, none of this is true. none of this is true whatsoever. this is truly a play for more airtime and they are getting at. there are some of these people that nobody knows who they are. people don't know who scott perry is. you no way they are not voting for kevin mccarthy, he took three weeks to call him after he

won his election after mccarthy went to that election. some of these people are not voting for kevin mccarthy are unbelievably petty. unbelievable petty. this is about showmanship, this is about notoriety. it has nothing to do with the conservative agenda. i would love for them to come out once and say, "look we disagree with kevin mccarthy and the rest of the republicans. we have policy disagreements and we won't vote for you until you prioritize the policies that we think would be better for the american people." as a said anything like that? not once, not once! >> ainsley: republicans have been waiting years for this opportunity to take over the house. when the rest of the country look help republicans are handling it day one, they can't do night or come together, it is they want they can agree already. >> it is a shame. it makes us look foolish. if i didn't know any better, it is like the democrats paid these people off. let's make it look like the

republicans can't govern and don't deserve any gavels whatsoever. that is what makes it look like. their demands are foolish. their domains inside baseball procedures. they are demands are things the average american doesn't care about at all. the average american cares about the pending 87,000 irs agents. that is actually what will be on the floor today if mccarthy gets 218. then, we can actually start doing business. that is the first bill we will build on. you know what will be after that? who will be bills on border security. it will be bills on getting our economy more resilient in reducing inflation. it will be the things people actually care about pure the things they want, the things they were demanding to offer their votes to mccarthy are things nobody cares about. look, nobody calls my office and says, "this is my biggest priority. you have to get rid of kevin mccarthy. nobody, as he recalls about this" so i don't know where this

group is getting this idea and this is important to the american people or important to the conservative moment it is simply not appear they don't have ideological disagreements n mccarthy. this is about petty, personal issues that they have or the petty attempts to gain notoriety. and it is unbelievably frustrating and they should be held accountable by the american people. >> steve: they won't vote for him on the first ballot but andy bakes. the big question, congressman, who are you hearing these renegade republicans want to nominate essentially s speaker? who is they are person? >> they don't have one. there was no plan. that is a great question. they keep acting like, you know, keep acting like they have somebody in the beings that is just waiting. you will see on the date of and they keep saying that peer they are like children. this is such a childish attempt at gaining more and more. you know what they say it like

that? they want you to interview them again here that is why they are doing it. please interview me. you will see, if you put me on tv one more time, then i will tell you who we will go for it. they've got nobody. even if they did come i promise you there are a ton of republicans who will not vote for them. they will not vote for anybody except kevin mccarthy. here is the thing, this is a general election. we had our primary election and kevin mccarthy 185% of the vote. that is primary election. now we are in the general election and if you are not voting for g.o.p. nominee you are voting for democrats, and so let's make something clear, you know who is technically the speaker of the house if kevin isn't sworn in? it is a clerk who is appointed by nancy pelosi. so the only person you are empowering are the democrats. the democrats and they are so happy this is all happening because these guys and these girls wanted to make this happen appear they wanted so much

notoriety, their own sense of self aggrandizement so important to them that they need to make this happen. >> brian: we will find out if they are true to their word. we will see at 12:00 today. dan crenshaw we know how you will vote. thank you for joining us today. >> ainsley: thank you. >> think you guys. >> steve: "fox & friends" eartcontinues in a couple of minutes. a day. choose acid prevention. choose nexium.
