>> todd: another shocking attack playing out on camera, a woman sharing her story after fighting off a violent criminal who chased her and assaulted her inside her apartment complex i. you're watching "fox and friends first," i'm todd piro. >> ashley: i'm ashley strohmier in for carley shimkus. she went into survival mode. watch. >> my head, when it was happening, i wasn't fearful, my head, i got to fight him and do something. he was equal to me. he wasn't bigger than me, i took that to my advantage in my head. my mom told me, don't let anybody approach you or touch you, i knew i had to push him

off or do something. >> ashley: the suspect was arrested and is facing charges of sexual battery. things like anytime fitness, you have a faub key, you have to swipe yourself in. she probably didn't know or think he was going to do this to her and she let him inside. as a female, you can never be too safe or cautious of anyone. i guarantee you she did not know he was going to do this. watching this video scares me to death, this terrifies me, this situation could have turned out worst. she may not have gotten away and been able to call the police. these situations happen every single day. >> todd: being a woman, i can't

experience that, but i have two girls and worry about the future they will have in this america we have now, where you can't do common act of courtesy like letting someone in. this lady is a body woulder, she is at peak physical performance, what if she wasn't, would we have a different story. this is criminals in this day and age feeling emboldened because there are no consequences to their actions. this happened in florida, there will be consequences, it is overall feeling of criminals, following george floyd, feel embolden to do things like this. he knows there is a camera there, this is a complex he

lives in, he takes on a bodybuilder. >> ashley: hopefully he will stay behind bars. one more point from this, people say, that woman looks mean, maybe women are trying not to put anything out there to get unnecessary attention. people think i look mean, i don't want unnecessary attention. they are probably not mean, things like this happen. >> todd: part of the standard, we hold women to a high standard that is ridiculous. da alvin bragg sparking anger for injuries this nurse suffered last week. alvin bragg charging the suspect with third-degree assault, despite law that prescribes felony charges on healthcare

workers. that nurse says what good is the law if it doesn't have any teeth. we're trying to help people and the law was written to help us and the da should be protecting healthcare workers. all da alvin bragg had to do was follow the law for these type of incidentses. it makes attacks like this a crime. >> ashley: this happened to a healthcare worker, he will not change his stance, he made that clear. this happens all the time. my husband was a beat cop in the bronx, if suspects are hurt during a scuffle, they have to be treated at the hospital and first person you see is a nurse and so many stories of the suspect beating up on the nurses and nothing has changed. this is not something uncommon and it will keep happening until

somebody like alvin bragg is out of office, he is not changing his office. >> todd: the office was too backed up to bring a felony case, maybe you wouldn't be if da alvin bragg didn't drive away good das, forcing them out of professions. if we keep disincentivizing people to become cops and nurses, we will not have first responders left to care for us when things go down. >> ashley: chicago is down so many workers, they don't feel like leaders are there for them. we just had a paramedic on speaking about this issue. people of chicago are done being disrespect leaders. this k-mart is next to residents. the proposal has been scrapped,

we spoke to a resident earlier who blames city leadership. >> we didn't see it coming, we didn't have leadership in place to allow us to know what was going on, they are now giving us updates. this is what is upon haing, this is what we're doing and you have mooing forward after two years, we will put together a community-driven process to move forward. we need leadership, we need someone to invite community to the table. our vote matters. >> ashley: almost 5000 migrants have been bussed from texas to chicago since summer. critical issue for america is fentanyl flowing into communities and police body cam looks at how serious this crisis is. >> trey -- >> i got him. i got him. >> i don't know. >> trey, go. >> ashley: deputies saving one

migrants. the president of the alliance joins me now. you heard it right there. two-thirds of new york city parents support this idea of charter schools, why not put money into it? it is what the people want. >> a couple of factors here, you talked about a billion dollars, these numbers are loaded, it is not true. immediate reason for them opposing this plan, which serves children of all different races throughout the city is because the teachers unions oppose it. we have public district schools and charter schools, these are public schools for children. funding follows children that way. it is not we will create more children not going to public schools it is just moving them from one place to the other. charter schools do better than public district schools and what

we should be doing is taking the public district schools and having them learn from ways and methods and policies the charter schools have that give them success and apply to district schools and grow charter schools that are working well. if charter schools are doing well for kids, we should make them available to kids who deserve it. >> ashley: when you talk about the teachers unions, is he pannedoring to the unions? >> call it any word -- >> ashley: how do you call it? >> i would say he is emphasizing uniknowios over the students, most charter schools do not use union teachers. i don't see why union teachers cannot learn what is being done in charter schools. >> ashley: right, eric adams had this to say about the proposed charter school money, if the state raise the charter cap, we will need more resource and

believe it will cost over a billion dollars to cite the schools and cover tuition, money we do not have. they do have it, he has made it clear, it is about shifting the money. where should he shift money to and from? >> you talked about other programs, completely different, separate from education. they should look at other programs, too, where money should be going. going back to the fact $1 billion, that is all wrong, first of all. a lot of numbers are for if they have immediately 100 something charter schools, they will grow charter schools slowly and it would take decades to get to the billion dollar figure. that is a nonsense number to begin with. >> ashley: do you think mayor

adams is wasting money? >> i think he can find better ways of using money, correct. >> ashley: when you talk about charter schools doing better, you see decline in students and numbers dwindling in math and reading, simple things we should have, do you think if they had the option of charter schools, they would be better set up for success and for the future of the economy and the world? >> absolutely. if you take the top 25 schools right now in new york city, public schools, top 25 in math scores, 23 of them are charter schools, these are the same kids, they are not selected by a test or any recommendations, they come in and apply and get into a lottery and do well. that is working out well and we should increase those. a lot of money they claim in the

billion dollars, if we took that number half seriously, that would be from assuming they are going to rent new spaces for the schools, which is not true, because as you said, public district schools are emptying. you have space, you can move kids back into actual physical schools and save money there. >> ashley: move kids, move money around, problem solved, it seems like. >> better for the kids. >> ashley: thank you for being with us, we appreciate your take on this. >> todd: people of east palestine don't know if it is safe to go home or go outside, take a look at this creek water. yuck, they are sharing details of what life is like after the toxic train crash. >> you go in and there is residue everywhere, how do you feel safe, you get hit with

shpiro is citing fears they do not know how many people have been affected. >> ashley: we brought that up yesterday, if surrounding areas will be affected. bring in fox news contributor joe concha. i have to talk about pete buttigieg and his response to the situation. he said it is getting a lot of attention, but 1000 train derailments happen each year, but not like this with ramifications that could happen to these people. i would have thought he would be more compassionate than he was. >> joe: it is like watching a cyborge speak instead of a human being. you hear from emthis, not just in east palestine, but all the way to pittsburgh, people are concerned and freaked out about

what is in the water and air and will this ultimately have negative health impacts on them and their family. thanks, pete, besides being apathetic abouten it00 trains derailing per year under your watch as transparent secretary, did the derailments involve mushroom cloud of cancer-causing chemicals like in east palestine. two weeks after this happens and pete buttigieg can't be bothered to travel to the site to assess the situation and talk to stressed out residents. when you add up with this transportation secretary, supply chain crisis, he went on maternity leave for two months as that was happening and didn't tell anybody about it. baby formula shortage, airline

delays, it is clear we are witnessing almost no one more incompetent this side of kamala harris and the president himself in this train wreck of this administration. get out to the site and do something,y sho you care and pete buttigieg doesn't seem to care. >> todd: when you thought mayor pete could not do a worse job, he tells norfolk southern, hold my beer. that is a sad state of affairs. this would not be the response if this happened in new york, san francisco or d.c. for mayor pete to joe biden, he stepped up to the podium yesterday and snapped at a reporter over his family's business rep with china. watch. >> criticism in -- >> compromise by your family's business ep ras. >> mr. president -- >> give me a break, man. did you overreact, mr. president -- >> overreaction --

>> okay. have more polite people. >> todd: joe, since when it is the media's job to be more polite, media is supposed to hold truth to power. >> joe: i don't remember jim acosta being polite to trump, minute joe biden came, he couldn't run from the job any faster. that wasn't steve doocy or jacqui heinrich, that was peter alexander. for the president to say be more polite and doesn't answer the question is very telling. what we are witnessing is least accessible, most protected president of our lifetime who doesn't like being asked tough questions or being held accountable for anything and

being asked to be transparent about actions makes this commander-in-chiefagetated. don't expect anything to change after he announces he is running for reelection. jonathan swann, a former reporter i worked with at the hill, "new york times," one of the most objective journalists out there and he said in a tweet regarding repeated efforts to land an interview with president biden. i have tried to get a one-on-one with joe biden, he won't do it and no convening power on planet earth would compel him to do an interview his advisors deem unsafe. that is right, joe biden has not sat down for interviews, ran from fox news for the super bowl interview and he will try again in 2023 and 2024 when he seeks a second term. >> ashley: he ran from shannon

would love to set up shop next door and conduct surveillance on the platform. we'll make sure our land stays under the united states control. >> ashley: as of 2020, the ccp owns 1 billion of u.s. land. ford motor will launch the battery plant in michigan. >> todd: that is unconscionable. president biden addressing the objects shot down over our country. >> president biden: we don't know what the three objects were, nothing right now suggests they are related to china spy balloon program or they were surveillance from any other country. they were likely balloons tied to private companies or research institutions. >> todd: illinois group says one object may have been their $12 balloon, not a typo, $12. price of air force missile used

to shoot it down $400,000. >> ashley: jonathan gilliam ib joins us to react to this. we know know what the objects are, my biggest concern, it seems like we have no idea what we're shooting at, what is going on in our air space because we let this spycraft float across the nation for seven days and now we'll start shooting at kites in the sky. >> if you put up a drone that weighs more than 240 grams, a small drone about this big, you have to get that registered with the faa and they'll know when that i think this goes up in the air. what is terribly damming to national security, the things get into the united states like the china balloon or these

floating across the united states and don't know what they are and the president will use every one of these as a press conference to come up there and admit the fact we don't know what these thing are when floating across our country. i cannot believe we do not know that, i don't know what norad does, if they can't tell when something is crossing the border. the president goes out and overexplains these things, shows his administration does not know how to handle national security or crisis situations, as you were talking about earlier with pete buttigieg and this train derailment, they don't know how to handle these things. it is just a press conference for them every single time and that is a tremendous national security threat. >> todd: it underscores the concern this white house was thrown off by potentially what

amounts to a $12 balloon and along those lines, jonathan, u.s. fighter jets intercepting russian aircraft flying near hawaii on tuesday issue the second interception in two days, norad downplaying it saying this is the second one, it occurs regularly and not seen as a threatener is activity seen as proactive. i have a different take, jonathan, do you have any doubt adversaries like russia or china are testing us because of joe biden's absolute factlessness and weakness on the world stage? >> you have to look at totality of the circumstances like when we're doing investigation of case. look at the reality of what is upon haing right now. there is half dozen of intrusions on alaska alone by russia. those are years when it is just

a regular circumstance and it is an area where we expect those to happen. now you have to look at those differently because of the national security violations, you could call them with air space, with things like not being able to handle train derailment with china buying up all this land and companies doing nefarious negotiations with china, this adds up. also with russia, russia is not happy with us right now, there is a war in ukraine that nato is involved with. these i think thises, when you look at totality of the circumstances, what you're seeing is regular intrusions like what happened in hawaii take on different light. maybe they are testing us and pushing in further and further to see what we'll do now and could be they are planning on something and we have to start

looking at all this stuff. >> ashley: scary to hear. >> todd: we need a leader who can handle it, don't seem to have one. one man demanding law school pay his family back after woke activist pushed to strip his ancestor's name from the school. >> ashley: will cain and rachael will react to that and preview their exciting weekend at the daytona 500. whoa. okay. easy does it. we switched to liberty mutual and saved $652. they customize your car insurance, so you only pay for what you need. with the money we saved, we thought we'd try electric unicycles. whoa! careful, babe! saving was definitely easier. hey babe, i think i got it! it's actually... whooooa! ok, show-off! help! oh! only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ (woman) what would the ideal weight loss program look like? no hunger, no cravings, no isolation,

to the family. the point is fascinating, if you are so virtuous, turn back the tainted money. it is absurd to hold historical people to modern-day standards. slavery was abhorrent, if we erase everybody that committed thattin is, we have a lot of names to take down. >> todd: will we see more things like this, more future donors saying not going to do it and whether this will force university colleges to change policies, my gut tells me they will not change their policy based off what the president is doing, he just signed racial equity action plan, money from the inflation reduction act will go to disadvantaged businesses and cover cost of data

collection for equity progress report to the white house. will, what will this order lead to for the rest of us under the agencies? >> will: it will lead to incentive structure to continue to pursue the path of dei diversity, equity and inclusion. just this week, we see transportation secretary pete buttigieg, who is a dei hire, no kwaul ifkszs to be transportation secretary is blaming the racial makeup of construction workers saying thousands of train derailments while they are on fire with a toxic chemical spill. our charge day affairs in afghanistan, the ambassador to kabul tweeted what afghan women need is hashtag black girl magic

and the world is watching this weakness. but it continues to be a problem. we were down there having discussions, learning about the cartels who are really domestic terrorists who are running the show. and just the problems the border patrol is having with their workforce. you know, having the people available to do the things that they need to do to conduct the encounters and to find the fentanyl and to be able to secure the border. they don't have the manpower. they don't have the resources. we are seeing that rear its head just with the increases in fentanyl deaths like you were just talking about. and the cartels, again, who are running the show are smart. they are making lots of money down there. they are dressing people from head to toe in camouflage. they are putting boots on their feet that have carpet so that they are harder to track. and they are using scapegoats that are then border patrol who is already workforce challenged is tied up with these

diversifications which leaves the carts then to be able to find ways to get the drugs like fentanyl into our country. it's a safety issue. it's a community safety issue. and i said not a republican or democrat one, but it's one that this administration need to focus on. >> we talk a lot about fentanyl. you have been talking about it there. the pentagon says deaths among active duty troops from fentanyl overdoses are rising in 201736% of those deaths were related to fentanyl and 2021 it jumped to 88%. this just goes to show you no one is safe. what can we do to stop this? >> right. it's the leading cause of death for americans age 18-45. it's really impacting our young people. in virginia, our attorney general has one pill can kill campaign that we have started here. so, really, you know, everyone needs to know that. it just takes such a small amount. we have enough fentanyl in this country that's coming across our
