meeting and i did not learn anything i couldn't learn from watching the news channel and reading the newspaper. president biden owes the american people an explanation. president biden should speak on camera directly to the american people today. >> ashley: lucas tomlinson has more on the outrage and the white house's silence. good morning, lucas. >> lucas: good morning, four objects shot out over north america in just eight days, unprecedented in u.s. history. that spycraft was the size of three buses, blasted out of the sky and mysterious three objects in alaska and lake huron. the white house says there are no ufoshgs, this is not invasion

of ailen whys. john kirby says actually these are unidentified flying objects. >> these could be balloons of completely benign nature, perhaps commercial or scientific research focus there. >> lucas: officials tell fox it could be little timmy's science project. here is jacqui heinrich in the briefing room. >> will you be releasing to us or talking about that? >> we will definitely have more to share later this week on that. i don't have a vehicle or how it is going to be shared to all of you. clearly the president thought it was important to get this done and asked for this to be stood up and he asked for jake sullivan to run this process. >> is that what the president is waiting for before he talks to the american people?

>> i don't have anything to read or share about remarks from the president. he takes this seriously. >> lucas: rubio and kennedy describe briefings on capitol hill and did not appear satisfied. >> the information we were just briefed on, no reason it couldn't be shared with the american people. >> this has been going on for a long time? >> how long? >> at least 2017, last week we were told 2019. that's what i took away from it today. >> thanks, guys. >> lock your doors tonight. >> lucas: fox news reports it took two missiles to shoot down the object over lake huron, after the first one missed. >> todd: the white house does not seem interested in this, but you are, we are learning

information about this missed shot over the lake. here is mark milley addressing that first attempted missile strike. we go to great lengths to make sure air space is clear and back drop is clear for the missile and in this case, the missile landed harmlessly in the water of lake huron, we tracked it down and made sure air space was clear of traffic. >> todd: lucas, go into detail on the word harmlessly and they'lley just referenced there. >> lucas: there is no warhead on that heat-seeking missile that missed the tarringel, none of these have been launched or armed, no warhead on the missile. they are acting like a giant spear, expensive issue fast,

violent sphere destroying the object and popping the balloon, like we saw over the coast of south carolina. >> ashley: that is good to know for people wondering like me. >> todd: great work. richard newton has this warning about china's spy campaign. listen to this. >> this is a significant threat and it is a wake-up call forern ms. the fact the chinese are operating a spy vein through balloons, the first balloon shoot down by f-22 was at 65,000 feet, near space regime that i believe the chinese are trying to exploit. we don't operate up there very much. we have unmanned vehicle, but it is a region the chinese will try to exploit and they're doing it

>> ashley: not just china, four russian jets -- bombers flying near alaska yesterday. the waren plas stayed within air space in the identification zone and the norad called it a routine intercepts, it's coming hours after dutch fighters intercepted russian aircraft near poland's air space. >> todd: conservation groups say something has to be done, the ninth dead whale washes ashore in just two months. why haven't we heard from climate experts? hearing from an expert next. >> ashley: and president biden's broth help broker a deal with the saudis while he was president. we will look at that.

>> janice: good morning, everyone, we have a couple of storms to talk about. cold air across the west, the east is feeling like springtime, that is why we have potential for stronger storms today. snow across the rockies and ahead of it with the cold front, potential to strong to severe storms. up toward the great lakes and second behind it, the first one is the more potent one, we will see heavy snow from rockies toward the great lakes, some areas could get a foot of snow and with the cold front, we will see potential for moisture from the gulf of mexico, that is instability giving potential for strong to severe storms from texas toward the ohio valley today and tomorrow. as we get into the afternoon,

we've got daytime heating and i think thises start to perk up and the cold front moves through across the mississippi river valley today, thursday and friday. here is a look at severe weather today. this is thursday, today we will see potential from texas up toward the ohio valley and east of the mississippi river valley tomorrow. rain, we could see potential for heavy rainfall and flash flooding, you see a couple inches as the front moves through. kansas city, we have a big parade today, today looks good. look what happens on thursday. we are glad the parade is happening today. here is the forecast for the victory parade happening at noon. a lot of sunshine. then the snow front moves through and then snow tomorrow. they are happy about this. >> ashley: even if it were snowing, they would be out there. you are helping the cause.

>> todd: the ninth dead whale washing ashore in the past two months and one advocacy group says this is precedented in the last half century. off-shore wind power plant activity is the only difference. megan joins me now, do you have any doubt the whales are dying because of offshore wind structures? >> no, actually. and what i think is important for the public to understand, this is not unprecedented when it comes to offshore wind. in the uk in 2018, 1000 whales died and washed up on beaches and people started toic mathe connection between offshore wind and dead whales, the government and media and offshore wind industry quashed it and people

began to think it is normal. it is not normal. in taiwan, environmental groups raised red flags when whales started washing up on their beaches. one was alive and swimming in circles because it was deaf. i believe that is what is happening here and noaa is n noting samples to determine if offshore wind is causing this, because a deaf whale is a dead whale. >> todd: people see turbines and know the whales are not getting caught up in the turbines, why are they hurting and killing the whales? in spla the science. >> so right now, majority of the turbines, there are thousands planned on the u.s. east coast. what the companies are doing is they are doing geo technical

surveying of the ocean floor, they have equipment that is emitting intense sound at the floor of the ocean, they want to tell into the sea floor what type of sediment it is. there have been over 100 offshore wind surveyed by noaa to harass marine mammals on the east coast of the u.s. what they are doing, emitting intense sound and it is affecting whales. whales, if they cannot hear get hit by ships, they become disoriented, they highly rely on sound. >> todd: where are the environmental activists? you would think they would be up in rememberas making sure enough

research and surveys were done, yet crickets. >> that is an interesting point, some have raised the red flag quietly. in 2020, 17 environmental groups sent letters to noaa with profound concern about the impact it could have on whales, they are nowhere to be seen now. in december, center for biological diversity told democrats if they did not shut down the lobster industry, they would have to shut down offshore wind to protect whales and also in december, the defense council sent a letter to noaa, expressing concern about emerging threat of offshore wind on critically endangered whales because there are no real protection for animals during the survey process.

boem, who authorizes offshore wind for the government, does not even issue permits for the surveys. >> todd: i've been on boats with you out to the wind turbines, it is not just whales affected, it is all fish, this is hurting the fishing industry. we saw this happen in manasquan, this is happening in the winter, what upon has when a dead whale washes up during the summer and people have to explain to kids why a dead whale washed up on shore. meghan p, thank you, we appreciate it. presi presidential -- nikki haley is a main target of the ladies of "the view." >> you used to actually have some sanity and knew right from wrong. and then you lost your mind and

when in some new direction. >> ashley: so much for being a feminist. joe concha is here next. i've got moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. now, there's skyrizi. ♪things are getting clearer.♪ ♪i feel free to bare my skin yeah, that's all me♪ ♪nothing and me go hand in hand♪ ♪nothing on my skin♪ ♪that's my new plan♪ ♪nothing is everything♪ achieve clearer skin with skyrizi. 3 out of 4 people achieved 90% clearer skin at 4 months. in another study, most people had 90% clearer skin, even at 4 years. and skyrizi is just 4 doses a year, after 2 starter doses. ♪i see nothing in a different way♪ ♪it's my moment so i just gotta say♪ ♪nothing is everything♪ serious allergic reactions and an increased risk of infections or a lower ability to fight them may occur. tell your doctor if you have an infection or symptoms, had a vaccine or plan to.

>> todd: california senator feinstein aoffice announcing she will not run again. she did not know. >> i am not announcing anything, i will one day. >> you will? thank you, ma'am. >> todd: uh-oh, a staffer correcting the 89-year-old senator. we put out your statement, confused feinstein said, you put out the statement? i should have known they put it out.

the democrats retirement setting up contentious primary. hopefully offices have told them who they are running. rho khana, and katie porter, a lot of likeable people, interesting. >> ashley: presidential candidate nikki haley will make a speech today and she's become the main target of "the view." >> you of all people should know betters, you used to have sanity and knew right from wrong and then you lost your mind and went in a new direction, so don't do that. >> todd: joe concha, what is wh whoopiupset about, what is she

referencing? >> joe: it is hard to get into the mind of the ladies of "the view." we would never hear anyone on "the view" speak this way about any democratic female seeking office. that sound you hear right now is barbara walters turning over inner had grave. she envisioned a show when she created this about 25 years ago that was more sane and sober and civil and fair and balanced than this. all that said, nikki haley does have, she is qualified for this job, given her resume, temperament. there is donald trump running who has run for president now twice and got 74 million votes in the last election, she has ron desantis, she is a former governor of south carolina, who probably will run and getting a lot of attention. tim scott, from her own state,

could be running, as well, then you have mike pompeo and mike pence, it will be hard for her to stand out and separate herself from the field. to say she shouldn't try is ridiculous, special from a show that accused her of not using her real name. i believe it was sunny hostin, and sunny hostin is not even her real name. this falls under the abc news umbrella. >> ashley: yeah, not sure how many people are watching it or if it is just playing in the background. nikki haley did say, here we go, whoopi, liberal heads explode, i wonder why america is not a racist country. you would think they would be excited for a woman and she has good chance to become the next

commander-in-chief. they were excited when kamala harris put her hat in the bid. senator mitt romney down played concerns about unidentified objects following yesterday's briefing and romney told reporters, of all things about china, russia invading their neighbor to this, doesn't score high on my worry chart. i was not shocked he is down playing it, what about you? >> joe: it is very interesting mitt romney would be saying something like that when you consider that three objects were not down over our air space and we still to this day, this happened a week ago, and we haven't heard from the commander-in-chief as far as why he decided to do this, i don't know what the objects were or where this came from and this is after chinese spy balloon went

icbm sites, i'm not sure where mitt romney is coming from here, again, it is like getting into the heads of the ladies of the view and i don't understand why he would downplay this, considering that many outlets are talking about this, including those that are liberal, conservative, it doesn't matters, i'm not sure what he is trying to say here. >> todd: baseball season kicks off today, we're all focused on potential trades and everything, do you not see the trade where republicans trade mitt romney for joe manchin? i see that happening, i feel like this is building toward that. we'll see if it happens. >> ashley: i didn't know where you were going with that. >> todd: joe concha, thank you. >> joe: and a draft pick to be named later.

>> todd: the whole thing, thanks. >> ashley: arizona issuing evacuation and shelter in place orders over nitric acid spill on a main freeway, on top of the toxic chemical disaster in ohio. ohio congressman will spngd to the latest comments from pete buttigieg. >> todd: and criminals attack a restaurant and threaten staff, she is here next to detail her chilling experience everyday.

>> todd: this story is infuriating. a community meeting erupting into chaos over democratic proposal to release level three sex offenders, including pedophiles back into the community. one of the halfway houses is across the from a bus stop. >> i don't have a dog in this fight, i will simplify this and you might say ah, the onus of keeping your kids safe is on you. [booing] >> todd: are you serious? two concerned washington residentses joined us earlier to respond to that, listen. >> the point of people being concerned is because bureaucrats are releasing violent sex offend

ares into the community without letting anybody know. democratic senators sponsored that bill, mostly a democratic bill. >> one individual committed over 500 child molestations, placed in a home surrounded by children. >> they are willing to do anything to put them in homes regardless of how much it puts neighbors and kids in the neighborhood at risk. >> todd: it is about money, the houses receive $38,000 per month per sex offender they take in. >> ashley: small business owners in oakland say they face repeated incidents. this video shows a man walk into a building and harass customers

and staff inside. he fled before police could get to the scene. the owner says this is the new normal. denise, thank you for getting us with us this morning and telling your story. what were you doing? what time did this all happen? >> this all happened at noon, just another day at the restaurant and i was just running around helping clean the table and i could hear this individual yells at my staff saying, no, no, to her, she is like, can i help you. he said, no. she is like, then it is time to go. i walked out and i'm like can i help you, no, if i can't help you, can i ask you to leave and he said no in my face and started yelling and saying i'm part of the system. i said, what system is that, it

threatened me that he would hurt me and so i'm just -- this is not my first rodeo. i have done this for 13 years and most of the time i could deescalate the situation is get the individual out. this time he came in looking for a fight, looking to harass and intimidate me. he was a bigger guy than i am, so it just getting out of control lately, it has been really bad and just hard to get any help from the police and i know this is not the police problem, it is more of the city leaders and officials and they are not doing anything about it. >> ashley: dennise, you said it took police three or four hours to get there. did they tell you why it took so

long and did they catch this guy? >> no, apparently my staff informed me yesterday she saw him walk into a smoke shop around the corner. i haven't followed up with the police about that yet because i've asked to have stay away order from this guy, if they ever catch him. i don't know what the outcome of that. so i was planning on following up with the officer today. >> ashley: you said this has been getting worse recently, how recently are we talking? >> in the last year or so, the pandemic, this is just been going on, but i have not seen it this bad. i grew up in oakland, i've seen it through the '90s, but this has gotten bad. people are getting robbed on the

street and i almost got mugged myself a couple of times. i don't feel safe in my own city and it is really sad. i believe in the city and believe in the city and i grew up here and it is the first time i felt unsafe in this -- my own restaurant and my own city and i don't see the problem get any better any time soon. >> ashley: unfortunately, you are with several people who think the same. is there any chance you would pack up and leave because of you fearing for your safety or is that your home and that is where you are going to stay? >> this is my home and this is where i will stay, i believe in the city. something has to be done about this, the city officials, they need to do something about that. we need to elect someone who it

is more experienced to deal with this kind of city and we keep electing people who don't have experience running this. >> ashley: if you don't stop it, it will not stop itself. denise huynh, good luck to you. hundreds of migrants are arriving on florida shores and the sunshine state has a plan to send them straight to sanctuary cities. >> todd: hello to president biden new green bank, 27 million set aside to pay for another part of joe biden's climate agenda. cheryl casone is here to break down all of it next. this cough.

>> todd: president biden's epa, environmental protection agency gearing up to spend on clean energy projectses. >> ashley: cheryl casone is here with the juicy details. >> cheryl: interesting, these grants will be administered by nonprofit groups and they will work with banks to finance projects, a lot of cooks in the kitchen is the concern here.

show you the breakdown, give $20 billion to projectses to reduce pollution and lower energy cost and another $7 billion to local governments for solar energy projects. sean kelly, house spokesman says this provision creates a taxpayer funded slush fund and heightened risk for overspending and abuse. it is like when you say that subway line is going to be a billion dollars and it is going to be three billion dollars, there is concern there is a lot of hands in the pot and this is $27 billion and part of inflation reduction act. >> todd: if you're a resident of east palestine, i wonder what you think about a clean energy bank, when all you want is clear air and clean water.

allocate some of that 27 billion to that. >> cheryl: president biden made it clear, it is climate change, climate change, climate change. now the daily mail got a subpoena involving president biden's brother, president biden was then vice president biden. this is jim biden, hired to broker a major deal with the saudis, while his brother was vice president. this is a construction company, saudis didn't want to pay, listen to what james comer says about this whole business and about the new documents. >> what i found with the president's brother jim, he operated mainly in the middle east. there were multiple deals in the middle east where jim biden was influence pedalling. this will continue to grow,

we've made requests, we're setting up the process to have successful subpoenas issued. >> cheryl: influence pedalling with the name biden. "new york post" calling jim his brother's reaper and know wo i think this i found in the legal documents, one point, according to a witness, jim biden said, the name didn't hurt in getting the payment from this philadelphia construction company and brokering this deal with the saudis. >> ashley: the longer this goes on, the worse this looks for the bidens, the name doesn't hurt. probably not a good situation. florida lawmakers pushing a bill to spend $10 million to relocate migrants arriving to sanctuary cities and states. >> cheryl: the september flights desantis paid, planes went from

texas to martha's vineyard, now the senate passed sb-6 allocating 10 million to send migrants to sanctuary cities. here is florida state lawmakers carolina amnesty and john snyder who support the bill, listen. >> joe biden has waived the white flag when it comes to enforcing our borders. what has happened, every state has become a border state, in florida, we will not stand idoly by. >> i was born in venezuela, i understand why people want to come here, it is not fair for floridians to bear this burden, states have to pay their fair share. >> cheryl: we see migrants going to the florida keys and residentses are complaining about how much they are being overrun by these migrants.

this continues. will governor desantis sign this into law if it hits his desk? we'll see. >> ashley: interesting you say that, san francisco is just one of the latest sanctuary cities trying to decide if they're going to get rid of sanctuary city status. >> cheryl: i love the line, if you're a sanctuary city, your taxpayers can pay for this, not the floridian taxpayer. >> todd: it is easier to virtue signal rather than do the work of sanctuary city. >> cheryl: mayor eric adams of new york city is not happy about it. >> todd: i am happy about you. dr. fauci and several biden officials testify on the hill, will we get to the bottom of the origin of covid-19. >> ashley: and residentses in one neighborhood experiencing issues and seeing pets drop dead, after being told their community is safe after the

toxic train crash. the ohio congressman is on deck to talk about it. >> todd: steve doocy will look at what is coming up on "fox and friends," he is in studio m, i'm gathering he is not heading to the parade today, i'll let him tell you in his own words. >> steve: are you talking about the kansas city chiefs parade today? my friend john killen makes this stuff, kansas city chiefs world champions. >> todd: you deserve it, you worked hard. >> steve: ashley was on my side, too. >> ashley: i knew you wouldn't let us down. >> steve: coming up on wednesday, a big program on "fox and friends," kicking off 11 minutes and 42 seconds from now. u.s. lawmakers demanding information about yesterday's classified briefing about that thing flying through the sky, all three of them, senator joni ernst, will tell us what she can

symptoms and their animals are dying following that toxic train derailment nearly two weeks ago. now a nitric acid spill major freeway over in arizona is triggering evacuation orders. brooke singman joining us live with all the details. brooke? >> residents in pima county evacuating or sheltering in place following that acid spill in south tucson. the crash involved a tanker truck which rolled on its side releasing this nitric acid. residents in the city now being directed to turn off their air conditioning a void breathing in the chemical. authorities warning a portion of the interstate 10 will reremain closed which morning. still in the dark about when they will be able to return home comes following the crisis in east splin ohio. following the train disaster. the safety of ohioans who have returned home. listen. >> are look, i think that i would be drinking the bottled

water and i would be continuing to many find out what the tests were showing as far as the air. >> we have no indication that the municipal water supply is not safe, however, we do have testing that is pending and i think it's a relatively easy thing to do to use bottled water for a short window of time. >> but we spoke with residents who evacuated east palestine and they say their symptoms are bad enough that they're debating even going back for the town hall tonight. >> last night i had my lips were turning colors. they are polka dotted and getting bright red patches on my face. and that was probably about six hours after it was already gone from my house. >> we had gone back to grab a couple of my things. i can't stay in the town longer than an hour before i have a giant migraine.

>> pete buttigieg tweeting again yesterday after being tweeted for his silence on the disaster. he highlighted rail safety and touting other infrastructure and other regulation policies. but residents want answers and they are hoping to get some tonight at that town hall which starts at 7:00 p.m. guys? >> we are going to bring in brad wenstrup. you just heard brooke's report that that town hall starts tonight at 7:00 p.m. will there be any answers given to these people who deserving more information than they are getting because no one is really talking about this and these people they deserve answers because this is a complete and total disaster. >> well, they deserve answers. and they deserve guidance based on facts on the ground. and, you know, they are coming forward and talking about symptoms that they're having and i think that's important. you know, i guess, you know, on the positive side, no lives were lost immediately in this. but that doesn't change concern

for the health of all the residents in the area. and so the details of everything need to be investigated and be very transparent about it in the process. and then be able to remediate the health and environmental issues. the effect on wildlife. all these things need to be remediated. i was glad to see the governor involved there the governor with the army corps of engineers are having oversight over what the water supply, doing all that they can. but the people they have to have their food and water supply be safe for them and also their air. and, so the national transportation safety board, it's their obligation to investigate these accidents and, look, rail is relatively safe. it's been reported 99% of hazardous material makes it safely to their destination. but this is that 1%. and, action has to be taken. the goal is 100 percent but action has to be taken. i know norfolk southern has

engaged. they released $1.2 million to try help make people whole in their communities for all the inconveniences and damages that may have occurred to them. i think that's important. people have to be insured that the air is okay. on the 8th of fen they were told to return to their homes it was safe. let's continue to monitor that the ground water and the soil and the air. it's all very important in the meantime take care of people that are being affected by. this. >> todd: you heard the guest that i interviewed say where is this money we understand there is allegedly money out there but where is it? i want to focus on your experience as a doctor. i mean the medical aspect of this is frightening. are you confident that there won't be any long-term consequences from the air that you mentioned, from the water that you mentioned, especially when you have canaries in the coal mine if you will just dropping dead. i'm not confident. obviously these are, to sick

materials. are toxic materials. controlled release rather than having a large explosion they managed things in that way. all the while this is a toxic event. we have to recognize it from that. the amount of exposure someone may get is yet to be determined. so i want to make sure that every health modality is available to people so that they can be taken care of safely when a situation like this occurs. and this may be -- have some long-term side effects or some short-term side effects and that needs to be investigated every step of the way. in the meantime make sure we have people out of harm's way. >> ashley: when you think about $1.2 million for all of these people affected it doesn't seem like that much money. >> no, it doesn't. and maybe that's just a start. i think the assistance maybe need to come from a lot of places. certainly there is some liability involved. i was told this was a wheel

bearing that overheated. why did it overheat? was it not maintained properly? those are things that need to be investigated as well. >> todd: a lot of questions. where is the e.p.a.? seems like they are really focused on selling solar panels when this should be right in their wheelhouse. congressman brad wenstrup we appreciate your insight with that, "fox & friends" begins right now. have a great wednesday. ♪ >> this is absurd. >> a train derails in ohio and spills toxic chemicals everywhere. >> i have the chem burns and reaction. >> transportation buttigieg turns his back on america. >> acid spill on a freeway in tucson. yellow plumes of gas in the air. >> residents of people that pimg or sheltering in place. >> three victims have been identified as three students at the school. >> students have set up makeshift memorials on michigan state campus. >> i hope the other students don't have to go
