>> brian: want to be more approachable. as i sat there by the way, something about a dog. [dog barking] >> brian: does something wrong and doesn't care. what are you doing? [growling] >> brian: i have no regrets. i said to myself i will never be able to get a color like this what what's it called again? >> ainsley: turquoise. >> brian: certainly as close as it may get. vineyard vines mailed me four shaded ties so i'm not going to wear this one anymore and hope i loop it right. >> steve: they are beautiful neckties but not close to the same color. >> ainsley: chewed it right in the middle. not even on the end. i can't even make it a handkerchief. >> steve: remember, brian, we did a thing where we cut them off and then we put them as pocket squares. >> brian: created a craze. >> ainsley: remember we cut. take this part and that could

be. >> steve: dave get some scissors. >> brian: or a hatchet. >> ainsley: or a dog. >> brian: special thanks to vineyard vines mailed me four different shades. >> steve: wearing one now? >> brian: no. this is something i chose this morning. i have a few too mention. ains good have wore it it's pretty. >> brian: going for pretty. >> ainsley: vineyard vine. >> steve: white house making light of the three unidentified flflying objects and don't call them ufos. telling not to worry about invasion. it's not from outer space they say. >> ainsley: this comes as u.s. forces face off against russian warplanes near alaska and an iranian made drone in syria. >> brian: wow. gillian turner joins us live from the white house. gillian? >> guys, this is just coming into the newsroom right now but u.s. forces overnight have

apparently shot down a drone over syria that the defense department says was being operated by iran. the u.s. has about 900 or so troops in country right now and u.s. central command says this particular drone that they shot down was operating a reconnaissance mission over the northeastern part of the country. want to flag that for you. here at the white house, meanwhile, the president deployed his homeland security adviser, liz sherwood randal to try to reassure the country's governors about those unidentified objects shot down in the sky lately. they apparently told her yesterday during this phone call she told them, quote: there are no ufos. this is not an invasion of the aliens. republican lawmaker dan crenshaw said yesterday's briefing up on capitol hill went a long way in terms of keeping congress informed. he tweeted, quote: everyone wants answers on the objects flying over the u.s. today members of congress finally got more info from

senior military officials. here's what the american people found out after that briefing, according to him. newer technology has allowed for more detection in recent years. uaps weren't detected before because our radars were not adjusted for slow moving objects. here at the white house though, during the briefing yesterday, john kirby seemed to undercut the homeland security adviser. he said, actually, these pretty much are or were ufos. take a listen. >> these very well could be balloons of a completely benign nature. perhaps commercial or scientific research sort of a focus there. >> gillian: republican senator roger marshall says it's now time for the president to address this matter directly. >> the president needs to find the courage to get in front of the american public and tell them what he knows. the president can get in front of america and tell them firsthand that we are safe, that

everybody is going to be okay. that we have got this under control. but america needs a long leader to step forward. >> so, compounding all this as you guys mentioned at the top is that on monday, the u.s. shot down these four russian aircraft that were hovering near or offer alaska. all of this leading right now this hour still more questions than the american people have answers, guys. >> steve: no kidding. gillian, thank you very much. the white house made very clear on that call to the governors don't call them ufo us. don't call them ufos. call them uaps. >> unidentified aerial phenomenon. we made clear we don't know what they are they are not ufos. there are hundreds if not thousands of things in the sky. some could be commercial. some could be research. >> brian: shoot them all down. >> steve: brian, here's not why not to do it side winders are $400,000. the briefer said that they are just as likely, these things

that are floating in our atmosphere to be used car balloons. those balloons outside used car lots? they said those could be what is floating out there. >> brian: how are we going to know what's for sale then? >> steve: regarding that run thing we shot down over lake huron. jeb milley said we missed it on the first shot but got it on the second. when asked where is that first missile he said at the bottom of lake huron don't worry about it if you are deep diving in the lake. i wouldn't touch it anyway. >> ainsley: lawmakers were briefed. senator mike lee said he came away with more questions than answers. people are asking then why did you shoot it down if there is no threat, we don't know anything about these last three that were shot down. what do you call them the phenomenons, unidentified projects. >> steve: ua ps. >> ainsley: if it's a upon no,

ma'am numb. americans are worried. they have a right to know. we need to get more information. they need to be more transparent. talking about the white house. if we have pictures of these things, release them. senators on both parties want further briefings. >> brian: china instead of being apologetic about the first one they have been more belligerent than ever saying we breached their airspace 10 times. we never did that josh rogin nau knows about the workings of china than anybody. >> ainsley: you interviewed him earlier, right? >> brian: yep. coordination with president xi who feels its advantage to poke at us. the rest of the world is looking at us to try to reign in china. and right now going to talk to china is looked at as weakness. it's a bad move. you want to have peace and friendly relationship it's got to be reciprocal and by going in to talk to them with the secretary of state or a step --

or in munich would probably be a mistake. he talked about that earlier. >> steve: one of the things that dan crenshaw and gillian mentioned dan crenshaw put out information after he went to the thing and he said, you know, there is a lot i can't say. what's really interesting. he kind of detailed how after the spy balloon, which we shot down off of myrtle beach how the united states changed how we track things. and, yesterday, it was revealed in the "new york times" that apparently we were tracking the spy balloon when it took off in early january over in china. and we watched it sail into the united states. what dan crenshaw said is that apparently, the radars early on were not adjusted for slow-moving vehicles. they were adjusted for, you know, rockets and missiles and airplanes but not balloons. so they have recalibrated it and now they can track balloons because there are a lot of them

and as it turns out some of them could be from my friend todd the car guy. you know, if the bright briefer from the white house says there could be some of those used car balloons. >> ainsley: i love those things. >> steve: guy flying by and there is one of those things could be from my friend todd. >> ainsley: yesterday morning the news was broken right here on "fox & friends" when nikki haley announced she was running for president. i think she was asupposed to announce it today and it leaked yesterday so she made this announcement i am going to run for president. this walls her -- this was a political ad that she released. listen to this. >> my parents reminded me and my siblings every day how blessed we were to live in america. some look at our past as evidence that america's founding principles are bad. parents immigrants grew up in south carolina. her parents owned this huge gorgeous clothing store off the highway in lexington, south

carolina up near the lake. i went in there i remember i was a local news reporter and i was doing a story and walked that store for a story. i can't remember what the story was about maybe just local business owners. then she, you know, gets into politics. she becomes the governor of south carolina. she takes down the confederate flag on the state house grounds and many people thought she was a hero for doing that. now she is running for president and she is criticized on "the view." whoopi goldberg just loses it. listen to this. >> so nikki, you know, since you have been asleep all this time and you just woke up. [laughter] >> you're just finding out that there are things about our country that are not perfect. and for us to pretend that it is and that nothing happened is ridiculous. so you are not saying anything new. [applause] and you, of all people, should know better because you used to actually have some sanity and

knew right from wrong and then you lost your mind and went a new direction. so don't do that. [applause] >> steve: after watching the nikki haley announcement video yesterday, whoopi was angry that nikki haley won't admit that america is not perfect and she doesn't know right from wrong. nikki haley put out a tweet after apparently somebody watched whoopi and she said this: here we go again with whoopi. the thought of me running for president makes the liberals' heads explode. i wonder why. and then at the bottom there is #america is not a racist cou country. >> brian: he was on the record i will not run if trump runs. she has changed her mind. he looks more vulnerable almost in every poll he is one or two.

on paper i think-my prediction is, she will gradually gain steam because she knows the issues. she is extremely competent and extremely tough and extremely diverse. she has the international experience. she knows how to run a state. she knows how to have combat and she is not afraid if you read her book see how she took on general kelly. remember she went back at larry kudlow when larry kudlow said something one day. she said i am not confused. so, i think she is going to be formidable. i think she will slowly -- i will tell you one thing about her. no one will ever say she doesn't know what she is talking about or doesn't have experience. >> ainsley: democrats are saying she has flipped flopped some times with the issues. she doesn't care what whoopi goldberg thinks. >> brian: i think it helps her. >> ainsley: she is rgt taking republicans and independence. >> steve: for the primaries. she has already taken some heat -- well, she said she wouldn't run against donald trump. politicians change their mind

every day. it's okay for a politician to change their mind. she is going to be with us tomorrow on "fox & friends" stick around for the big show tomorrow meantime time nor news and ashley is going to tell us about that air out near the derailment. >> good morning, steve, ainsley and brian. going to starts in ohio. as officials recommend residents drink bottled water following that toxic chemical train disaster. they also say the air is safe for residents returning to their homes in east palestine. many have some mixed feelings citing livestock deaths and personal symptoms like burning sensations and coughing. residents are hoping to get more answers tonight at a town hall event as many evacuees say they still just don't feel that it's safe to go home. the arizona rancher charged with the murder of a migrant on his property denies he killed him. court filings show george allen kelly maintains he only fired in self-defense after seeing a group of men armed with rifles.

so many people on fixed incomes and retirees don't have as much and food costs so much it says there are a lot of people who are no longer buying meat because it's so expensive and instead eating beans or cheese. have you noticed with you and your friends that suddenly when you go to the grocery store you are looking at every price because you wonder whether or not you can afford it? >> absolutely, these are times that everything seems to be trouble or triple. >> steve: steve you want to be more active so what is happening to your bottom line? >> my bottom line is that i was getting approximately 200 a month, which barely, believe it or not, did not cover it.

and now i'm reduced to $36. >> steve: what -- okay. 36 bucks. that's six dozen eggs. >> right. or it's a box of keurig coffee pods and a half a quarter of milk, maybe. >> yeah. no kidding. doug, before you retired you worked at kroger, you worked your way up into management. you know better than anybody why things are so expensive. so, what do you find yourself doing now as opposed to back when things were so much cheaper last year? >> well, it's just hard for me to walk through a store without having a heart attack. i mean, it's so high. and seeing the beef prices, egg operations that you have mentioned and just everything is has just gone sky high. and it's just my wife and i. so we can cut down. it's pretty easy for us. i really feel sorry for anyone

that lives on a really fixed income. i don't know how they are making it. it's just impossible. >> steve: sure. sharon, what about you? are you clipping coupons or going to places are you going to big lot stores or going to discount grocery stores. things like that we don't go to the discount stores per se but stores like wynn dixie here in tampa, they do the buy one get one. and so i find myself moving towards that and then i'm able to stock up on things. i live with my family. my husband, my daughter, my sister and her son and so we in essence we pool our resources together which families are struggling. >> steve: i have been reading because so many seniors are unable to afford will food.

amount of meat you buy or less treats like ice cream or, you know, soda or god forbid alcohol? are you cutting back on things like that? >> well, yeah. you have to. i think you need to it manage your business. and your personal business. so you have to cut back. we find ourselves buying smaller quantities when we go and trying to cut back all expenses we can. because you know, one thing people don't mention how expensive it is to travel. we have cut back travel because you can't afford it. costs over $100 a day to rent a car. it's incredible. >> steve: if you can find a car. you are absolutely right. >> that's right. >> steve: used to be it was so much cheaper to drive somewhere but now with gas at 4 on or about 5 bucks a gallon, everything is crazy sharng and janice and doug. thank you for telling us your story. good luck to all of you. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> steve: there you go.

♪ >> brian: all right. let's go over what exactly is going on in ohio. hundreds of northeastern ohio residents as you know on edge this morning over the concerns of toxic chemicals released during a train derailment which happened go two weeks ago. how did we get here? how big of an impact does this have and where it is it heading as many people have opinions where it took place. take a look at the timeline. first off the train comes through at 9:00 at night on february 3rd and derails. they have got about 50 cars.

38 derail. 11 have poisonous chemicals on there something called vinyl galore ride which is world war ii era. it's meant to kill. meant for other things but can potentially do that. so they say to the residents it's got going to be dangerous. got to get you out of here. big decision made february 5th, february #th by the governor. given all the different alternatives. he said, listen, this thing could explode it. could cause a great deal of damage and could actually have shrapnel go everywhere obviously because the cars are made up of metal or we could do a slow release and a detonation and they do it. and that is some of that horrible video that you see that was actually planned. as we move through the evacuation order gets lifted. people start coming home. as they go home they are coming back and saying their skin is itchy. they feel different. some of them feel like they have a fever. they get headaches. around the same time. people start questioning whether they actually should be going back. brings us to the 11th. the reports surface of dying

animals. animal has are dying. you have got dogs throwing up. 3500 fish they lose their lives. so then -- that are just flat out dead. some people say well, that's normal. i don't see that as being normal. on the 13th the, norfolk southern sends response plans to the e.p.a. you think so? they are going to get sued big time. 14th there, which was yesterday, they continue, they have a bunch of hearings yesterday. people got information, not enough, there is going -- tonight there is going to be a town hall where everybody in the area is going to find out when they can come home. this is a working class area, people don't have a lot of extra money for the most part. this is 70% of them vote republican. i hope that's not the reason why the response has been so suspect to this point. take a look at the people that could be affected. as we look at the radius. that's where the hit is. but the circle shows where people that are susceptible it some of these gases that are released. as you look out, you see four separate schools.

you see a handful of parks. this is where people go. when they're outside they feel safe. not so much. and the final should really show you where potentially could go as we see the final screen going straight ahead. and here we see the rivers that are around here, pittsburgh, that is there. you also see the population. obviously pittsburgh the biggest city over 300,000. new castle, youngstown, ohio, an area that is just coming back now and says are we going to be affected by this and where it directly is east palestine which is 4761. what i find astounding is that the lawmakers continue to talk generally how things are eventually going to be safe. you have a governor who says yeah, you could have the water but if it was me i would probably drink bottled water. that's not leadership and that's not a definitive answer. and then you also have people that don't just show up like the secretary of transportation to see for themselves. the car itself had an axle break causing a ripple effect with all this derailment but with this

hazardous waste. these people were not informed this could happen. the governor did not know it was coming through his state. and it was not listed at the highest level of hazard because not every -- not every one of the cars was full of this toxic gas. so, we will continue to follow this story. the town hall will answer a lot of questions tonight. i imagine the emotions will be high because people want to get on with their lives. still ahead on this show, don't mess with texas. lawmakers in the lone star state just proposed a bill to forbid foreign land buys. the lawmaker behind the push joins us next. hi, susan. honey. yeah. i respect that. but that cough looks pretty bad. try this robitussin honey. the real honey you love, plus the powerful cough relief you need. mind if i root through your trash? robitussin. the only brand with real honeyand elderberry. at adp, we understand business today looks nothing like it did yesterday. while it's more unpredictable, its possibilities are endless.

who sponsored this bill lois coat horse joins us now to discuss the pending legislation. good morning, lois. >> good morning, ainsley. i heard over and over from my constituents the concern. almost 140,000 acres being purchased in south texas raised concern last session where we passed a bill protecting our critical infrastructure disallows any company from north korea, iran, russia or china my bill goes beyond farmland and real estate because some of the purchases we are seeing in and around not just my senate district but all over texas.

lois why do you think they want so much land in america? >> i don't know. i think that is why i filed senate bill 147. it's worthy of a conversation. you are seeing bills very similar being filed all across our nation by states. you have seen canada make a move just recently to ban any anyone from any other countries buying homes. there is a lot going on in the real estate market. texas is very unique in that we have rare earth materials. we have, obviously, a lot of oil and gas. we have the coast line. we have a lot of our military bases here. and so this is a national security issue. and, again, senate bill 2116 in the last session passed unanimously that banned those four countries that i mentioned from bimentding or being contracted with for our critical infrastructure and it was unanimous vote in both the house and senate. we are going to build off of that. this is a national security issue.

i really believe bubbling up. >> ainsley: your governor said i will sign it. what about your constituents? what are they saying? >> we're getting great response from our constituents in senate district 1. obviously, some are against this. we're going to make it crystal clear in a substitute that anyone that's a u.s. citizen or a legal permanent resident has the ability to purchase land here in texas. but i want to say too, ainsley. that this doesn't stop people from doing business here people lease land. they lease homes. they are able to do a lot of that. so, people that argue that this is gonna stop business in texas. that is just not true. this is a national security issue that's why i filed it and building off of a bill that passed unanimously and our session just two years ago. >> ainsley: senator, thank you so much for coming on this morning. >> thank you for bringing this

to light and i look forward to working with my colleagues and leading texas. >> ainsley: all right. well, keep us posted. thank you. >> thank you. >> ainsley: let's hand it over to ashley who has headlines for us. >> ashley: the lawyer for gabby petino's parents actually accusing letter to son offering to bury the body. suing the laundries for emotional distress gabby's death road trip in 2021. the letter allegedly said burn after reading. at a court hearing yesterday the laundrie's attorney did confirm the letter exists but claims it predates brian and gabby's cross-country trip. florida deputies and good samaritans make heroic rescue pulling a driver from a burning car. the group jumping into action slowing the spread of the flames and freeing the driver just in the nick of time. the car burst into flames after crashing into a semi-truck in palm coast, that is to the north of daytona. the driver and a passenger found lying on the road were given first aid and rushed to the

hospital. missouri senator josh hawley introducing two bills aimed at stopping social media companies from targeting america's youth. the first called the mature act would establish a minimum age requirement for social media sites. >> who was social media companies couldn't let the kids on until they are 16 and social media companies have to verify the kid's age boy i think you would help parents a lot. let's protect our kids when they're at their most vulnerable. >> holly's second bill would commission government report on the impact on social media on kids. a recent survey finds 84% of teens between 13 and 18 are active on platforms like instagram and tiktok. those are your headlines. send it out to miss janice dean for the weather. hi, janice. >> janice: good morning, ashley. take a look at it. tale of two seasons across the country. springtime for the east and winter for the west. 47 right now in new york. 52 in dallas. that's about to change though. we have got this storm system. the first one moving across the great lakes. another one behind it for the

when somebody referred to women as in a derogatory way didn't we used to have a word for these people, woman -- oh yeah, woman. all she did was to say there is a word for women. we are specific type of person. and for that, the whole world seemed to descend on her. of course from her point of view, it's an extraordinary example of an attempt at cancellation that did not work. >> steve: that's the key. attempted. because she was that big. she was an author who almost everybody who was going to criticize her they own her books. >> yes. two things. first ofirsfirstly. -- secondly crucially she did not step down. she sold hundreds of millions of books. multi millionaire. some people would say you know,

okay ewe got a enough monday to not have to care. that was not it. such a point of principle for her. very straightforward thing. men are men. women are women. straightforward. she didn't back down. she is -- very interesting interview. bari weiss free press she has done. it's very interesting interview because it just shows that you can stand up to the mob. if you feel a principle so strongly that whatever the forces coming against you, you just say, you know, i'm not bending to the. >> brian: dave chapelle, too, right? >> absolutely. it's not the case you have to bow down to the mob. >> ainsley: she said i'm misunderstood did. she explain that more? i know it doesn't tropic until february 21st, the podcast. does she apologize? does she change her views? >> no. not at all. the point is that the people who criticized her were so

incredibly monovalent in the way they did so. they said just for saying men are men and women are women. >> brian: like they were drunk. >> you are trying to kill trans people. these outrange just allegations outoutrageous.the mob does thise who doesn't believe. killing people. endlessnumbers of claims like this. j.k. rowling of course wasn't doing any such thing. she says in this interview. these people misunderstood me so badly. she is absolutely correct on that. the crucial thing is these people wanted to misunderstand her. they wanted to misrepresent her. and thank goodness they found in j.k. rowling an adversary. >> brian: too big to fail. >> not just too big but too bold to take down. >> brian: do you blame america for exporting cancel culture? >> i feel everyone in the world blames america for this. blames america for exporting these weird new sort of puritan

extremists who go around saying if you don't agree with me you are trying to murder me. >> brian: it's nuts. >> steve: we will look for that podcast when it eventually comes out here in a couple of weeks. eye-opening. >> ainsley: bari weiss is another one. left the "new york times" to start her own platform. >> brian: all right, douglas. thank you very much. >> great pleasure. >> brian: can a darius tony will be joining us. ahead of the big parade today. what is it like to be a world champion for the last three days? ♪ she found it. the feeling of finding the psoriasis treatment she's been looking for. sotyktu is the first-of-its-kind, once-daily pill for moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis for the chance at clear or almost clear skin. it's like the feeling of finding that outfit psoriasis tried to hide from you. or finding your swimsuit is ready for primetime.
