e.p.a. visits two weeks after train derailment. >> steve: florida -- [laughter] fema turning down disaster assistance. why is that? >> brian: lucas tomlinson is in wisconsin -- only kidding. no, he is in the ground in ohio with more. hey, lucas. >> good morning, steve, ainsley and brian. a freight train is moving through town here in east palestine norfolk. i asked him if he wants to see the be administrator tap water he says is safe. he says he does. later releasing a video his actions in a stream and put a stick down that looked to show chemicals in the water. take a look. >> i'm here at leslie run and dead worms and fish all throughout this water. something i just discovered is that if you scrape the creek bed, it's like chem is coming out of the ground.

>> here in this town of 5,000 eastern ohio along the border with pennsylvania two weeks after massive train derailment. residents are still unsure if it's safe to drink the tap water. >> how has this chemical contamination impacted your life. >> it's been absolutely terrible. it's uprooted me and my six children. >> it's making me move out of my house. >> people don't know if we're safe to drink the water. they are saying yes but then we have fish kills everywhere. >> i have a well so i worry in six months, you know, if it happened to my water. >> i don't know where the birds all went, but we don't see any birds in our place. >> do you feel safe? >> no, i don't. >> no, i don't feel safe. i think i would be a fool to say that i felt safe right now. >> president biden's transportation secretary has not come here to east palestine and appeared to down play this derailment. >> while this horrible situation has gotten particularly high amount of attention, there are

roughly 1,000 cases a year of a train derailing. >> and at the white house, press secretary karine jean-pierre offered the following endo doorsment of baton rouge. >> does he have confidence -- >> -- i can answer that very quickly and very with quick -- with confidence from here that we do have salute confidence in mayor pete and i always say that secretary buttigieg. fema has declined giving assistance at this time. tells fox news they are in constant contact with officials on the ground but notable. senator j.d. vance wants norfolk to pay for these not the american taxpayer. >> steve: took two weeks for a senior official from the biden administration to show up in ohio. that's why people are so

frustrated. why did it take the e.p.a. chief two weeks to show up? the locals, of course, they told them yesterday. look, we are worried about washing the dishes with tap water. we're worried about taking a bath. we're worried about doing the laundry. they asked him point blank of michael regan. would you be comfortable living here? would you let your kids drink the water. and do you know what he said? the state says the testing indicates the water is okay. so, he says trust the state. but then other people in the government are saying, you know what? if you have a well, why don't you hold off on drinking the well water because of ground water contamination until we know the coast is clear. >> ainsley: right. right. the reporter said are you drinking the water? yeah. i'm drinking the water right now. and the reporter says why are all the fish dying? they say because the water -- this water, the drinking water comes from a system a mile away. and then the reporter says are you concerned about cross contamination like you are talking about the creek water

leaking into our ground water? and he says oh, we are evaluating. so i wouldn't recommend children or people play in the creeks. so don't play in the creeks. it is winter. i don't know how much creek-play is going on. it's a good point. you saw what it looks like. also, you just -- j.d. vance was asked would you drink the water? he said no, i would have bottled water. the testing says we should be able -- they should be able to drink the water. troy nehls a texas republican suggested that j.d. vance was irresponsible for advising residents of east palestine to drink the water. is he being practical as a parent and senator. i don't feel good about it. i don't want to find out five years from now there is something in it. i just watched this other woman on that says i'm poor. i've got two kids 7 and 9 years old. i have got walk and get my own bottled water. i don't have a budget for bottled water. now i have to go walk because i don't have a car and come back with it. and one of the risks is legally,

they are walking up to people and saying here is $1,000 for your expenses. that sounds great. but a lot of lawyers are saying be cautious about what you sign with that because. >> steve: read the fine print. >> brian: you might have to take legal action to get reimbursed for how your life has been disrupted and any type of medical costs that may erupt when this is all said and done. >> ainsley: if you take the money $1,000 if you sign something for norfolk southern then you might not be able to sue them down the road. >> brian: worth it. if you are a lawyer in the area can you walk the streets and help out a little? >> steve: good question. i was talking to a doctor friend of mine who has been an expert witness in toxic chemical cases and he has represented. -- he happy called in to look at different people's cases. in particular on one toxic cleanup the people who did the wound up developing lung problems, neurologic problems, cancers and things like that years later. and so they're suing.

and he has been watching i can't imagine what could possibly happen to those people. what about down the road? that's the worry of a cancer cluster 5, 10, 15 years from now. >> ainsley: very scary. one woman said what about pregnant women? what will happen if they are born i hope they are healthy and okay. the lady that has to walk to the grocery store to get the water. doesn't have the budget. here she is courtney miller. >> i'm a single mother. i have two children and i don't have a vehicle currently. so i have to walk to the and carry a case of water and tote around a 9-year-old and a 5-year-old walking to and from a store to get bottled water. where is our help and what about the people who can't walk to the store who don't have vehicles? why is no one out here helping

us? where is everyone? why is dewine not doing his job? why is fema not here? why aren't we getting any answers when we were supposed to get answers? >> steve: she makes a good point why is fema not there. in fact, yesterday, representative bill johnson who is a republican from ohio asked the governor to request disaster declaration so they could free up federal money. the governor's office says fema halls found that the area did not qualify because the railroad was paying for some residential expenses and because of the lack of damage to personal property. she wonders why fema is not there. she has got a good point. but, you know, i don't know that that particular reason is going to, you know, cut the mustard with a lot of people who, as you look at that water. look at the colors in that water. does that look safe? and ultimately, that leeches into the river which is the source of water in that area. >> can congress change those rules?

to that this would be considered a disaster? >> i don't know. they say that if the railroad pays everybody, it doesn't matter where the money comes from. right now the railroad says we plan to take care of everything. i guess it falls short. you are suing and then maybe fema steps in something with the stafford act. i would say this simmering beneath the surface, waiting for a democrat to jump on board is fire pete buttigieg. marco rubio said it yesterday no. matter what the crisis is in transportation, he falls short. and seems disinterested in doing the job. all he talks about is equity and fair roads and bridges. when there's an emergency and he won't even show up. again. >> steve: the white house was asked about whether or not they had confidence in pete buttigieg and they said absolutely. we have got confidence that the governor of ohio, mike dewine is going to be joining us just about two hours have right now on the channel you trust for your morning news. >> ainsley: it doesn't look good. two weeks he and he is not there just go and have compassion for

these individuals. >> brian: oxford did they tell you you have to show up for things? i'm not sure if that came up in one of his classrooms. america's crime crisis caught on camera. high price heist of designer merchandise in new york city in soho totaling grand total of $50,000. the consequences of soft on crime agendas next. >> steve: plus, tiring on the prowl. 82 time pga tour champion teeing off in the genesis invitational. you know what? day one. he did great. that's coming up. [cough] >> steve: god bless you. say hello to your fairy godmother, alice. and, long lasting gain scent beads. try gain odor defense. be gone, smelly everything!

>> brian: grief stricken student at new jersey high school pouring their hearts out after 14-year-old classmate took their own life. the teens demanding action to stop what they feel is a culture of violence and bullying that has been ignored for far too long. >> todd piro joins us live with details and last night there was a town hall essentially and people are angry. >> todd: you would be, too. this is a horrible story, steve, ainsley and brian. outraged students say the bullying just hasn't stopped following adrianna's death by suicide. teenagers and parents lining up to speak last night slamming school administrators accusing them of turning a blind eye. the 14-year-old took her own life earlier this month following an attack in a campus hallway. students recorded the beating. then ridiculed adrianna online. well, on saturday, prosecutors charged four teens allegedly involved in the attack. aid degree anna's friend, classmates and parents pinning the blame on the district saying this is not an isolated

incident. [shouting] >> >> i am going home scared. and am going home [inaudible] mean people here. >> despite video evidence, the school superintendent is denying claims that this is a persistent problem. >> you think there is a culture of violence at the high school. >> i disagree with that that has not been -- that has not been my experience at all. it doesn't indicate that we are a culture of violence. we don't -- we don't condone that we actually, you know, do everything in our power to dissuade that. >> and the community also livid after learning the previous superintendent who resigned after suggesting c cush was a dg

abuser still being paid $190,000 salary. why that super is still remaining being paid is a question. >> steve: why the guy is still getting paid did he say it's personal or it's personnel matter? >> obviously people have trouble with that word often. my gut tells me it's a personnel matter. resignation worked he would receive his money but all those details still outstanding. my gosh, as a parent. you just hear the story and feel for the family. it crushes you. >> steve: it does indeed. all right. todd, thank you very much. so many of the fellow students, her fellow ostudents at that event last night just say hey, you are the people in charge. she complained about it and you did nothing and now she is dead. >> ainsley: it's just so sad. these are human beings and these are our children. when the school knows about it.

when you think about when we were in high school bullying went on. >> brian: this cass caught on tape. >> ainsley: this was caught on tape. it was posted on social media which we didn't have to deal with when we were growing up. in addition to that, the parent went to. there are several parents that have gone on several different occasions to the school district to complain and they say nothing was done. >> steve: terrible. >> brian: i want to bring to you another story that tucker exposed last night. this woman done something i do all the time. when you work out in a gym a motel sometimes people walk up and they will say they don't have their key. that's what this guy said. so she let him in. and now she is fighting to fight him off and survive. and you watch her just fight desperately. get away from him and get out from this would be attacker. the sad news is he went after two other people and eventually would be arrested. here's what she said motivated her and tapped into forced her to tap into her survival instincts. i wasn't fearful at all.

in my head it was just i have got to fight him i have got to do something. you know he wasn't bigger than me. wasn't anything more than my size and i took that to my advantage. my mom always told me don't let anybody approach you or touch you if you don't know them. as soon as he approached me, i knew i had to push him off or do something. >> steve: she was there working out at the gym in her apartment building. and she saw this guy. and he was knocking on the door, will you let me in? oh, i have seen that guy before. so, you know, obviously she was trying to fight back. he pinned her down at one point. as she is trying to call 911. eventually she got out and raced to another apartment. they have arrested this man within 24 hours. the suspect is xavier thomas jones. apparently he has already been charged with sexual battery. false imprisonment and kidnapping. he lives in that apartment complex and pretty much admitted, yeah, i did that.

>> ainsley: wow, i wonder -- thankfully she fought him off. no telling what would have happened if she weren't able to do it. thankfully she works out. she is at the gym. she is strong. so she was able to fight him off. if you are a woman, you need to definitely try to work with some sort of a trainer at least once or twice, if not more to learn how to fend someone like this off. we are hearing more and more of these crime stories. >> brian: we are on our own. >> ainsley: you totally are. >> steve: you think you are at your own apartment building. i'm in my apartment building. i'm at home. i should be safe. and that's the reason the hillsborough county sheriff put that video out on instagram a couple days ago just to show you are not safe just be ready. >> ainsley: it's interesting. she said she wasn't scared when he was doing it. and when adam klotz was on that subway getting attacked. he said i wasn't scared that wasn't afternoon in my mind. i thought i have got protect myself and protect my head. and i was asking this trainer i said what would happen if i woke up in the middle of the night and there is a man in my apartment, i would be terrified.

he said you can't let your brain go there he said your survival skills set in and you have to think. i have to do everything i can to save my life. >> steve: fight or flight. >> ainsley: if not, they could do god knows what to your daughter and to you or what -- so that stuck with me because i always was worried how why handle that situation? they say go for the eyes, gouge the eyes out. go obviously for, you know, the private area. knee them. do whatever you can and he said don't ever get in a car. once you get in the back of the car. you're done with. you would rather fight outside of the car do whatever you can before they put you in the car. >> brian: something else happened in new york city down in soho. how do you say this go they did not close the gate. they did not have the alarm on. i guess these four robbers broke in and stole $50,000 worth of

merchandise. we know this. there was a guard there we don't know where the guard was or if he or she left. three men and one woman and everyone there put this video out. they need help to identify them. three of the four brazen looters did not bother to fully cover their faces and so crime stoppers is asking -- they have got the still video of all these four people. >> brian: that's a nice store. >> steve: if you know these people give them up. in new york city, as we saw on the west coast earlier last year. people just do this all the time. and if they get arrested, they will be out in 15 minutes. >> ainsley: yeah, these bags, i think they go for thousands of dollars. givenchy is up there with chanel and gucci. each of these bags what do they do with them? sell them on the streets or ebay. >> brian: use them over the weekend at clubs. >> steve: sell online look they have the givenchy bag and here's

the paper that says it's real. they but the it online, ultimately, a lot of the retailers try to crack down on the internet resale. but there is so much that gets through. a lot of people, if that bag cost $2,000 and it's online being sold for 150, people will buy it. >> ainsley: yeah. you are right. they might think it's a knock off looks really good little do they know the real thing but it was stolen. >> brian: givenchy. when you slur your way through the beginning it's expensive. >> steve: it's called liaison. >> brian: expensive. >> ainsley: i'm from south carolina and we say givenchy. >> brian: i pronounce the a in ashley. >> ashley: i know that's how we say it. you are good, brian. we are going start with this.

researching this how often this happens. take a look back to see how often these happen and how frequently take place. take the time period between 1990 and 2021. about 1700 a year. 54,000 overall over that period. of train derailments. you would think we got over this and figured it out by now. as we move ahead, you look ahead and hazardous materials are a part of this. about 5,000 times over the course of 20 years. and then last year alone 337 hazard leaks and spills took place. but, nothing like what we have seen over the last two weeks. as we move ahead and look back and understand where something similar has taken place, you have to go back to early 2015 in tennessee there was a derailment there in maryville, tennessee. a train was carrying this thing called ache critical my thrill, serious enough to cause an evacuation. 5,000 resident were moved out. some short-term train decrald

water. the train derailed over in paulsboro. spilled $20,000 gallons of vinyl chloride. that is the same chemical that snild palestine that they are experiencing right now people are talking about rashes and itching and short-term shallow breathing. and 250 people were sent to the hospital. those 250 people had some short-term illness but nothing was that substantials you look back again in the final wall. take a look at tertiary which i think really applies here and go back to 2005. you have 18 trail cars. derailed over in south carolina. 100,000 pounds of chloride gas released and crash kills itself. nine exposed about 1,000 plus. these are all areas in which the company was responsible.

they have had to quickly act it. cost $120 billion in total rail funding. and then as we look at what is happening now as the infrastructure deal when you look at rail, nothing specifically for ohio. a lot has to do with amtrak. the bipartisan deal that had some republican senators sign off on it, you know, the president famously loves to ride the train. $102 billion worth of rail work. the other thing to keep in mind people have brought up before is that there was a rail strike. and it was forced consolation. everyone had to go back to work against their will. you wonder what is going on if that is playing a role at all in what we are seeing now. a lot of these trains some 50 cars, some 100 cars, are not fully manned. so, we're looking now at a situation where fema does not step in because the company is responsible. but the problem for the people in palestine is win is the money coming? they need stuff today.

their basketball games are canceled. they have to go shell out money out of their pockets. some don't feel comfortable living in the area. they have to pay for their hotels. maybe long-term after the lawsuit is settled and money comes. in long term how are they going to get answers and get money. very tempted for some to take $1,000 here, $1,000 there. are they signing away any future remuneration down the line? that's a quick look at what we are looking at now. derailment not all so rare sadly. coming up on "fox & friends," our weekend guys are gearing up for too far on sunday. it's not rare for them to be there rachael and will together in remote wearing different outfits talking to diners. tell me what is happening, guys. >> will: we're back here, brian, at the north turn in daytona beach getting yesterday for the daytona 500 broadcasting. we have already been talking to the people. >> rachel: these people love us, man. they love fox.

>> steve: action movie star bruce willis' family sharing

health update on the beloved actor. saying quote since we announced bruce's diagnosis of aphasia in spring of 2022. bruce's condition has progressed and now we have a more specific diagnosis. frontotemporal dementia; dementia. also known as ftd. >> ainsley: willis' family hopes by sharing this diagnosis they will share behavioral neurologist miller joins us now. dr. miller, good morning. >> thank you. appreciate the opportunity to talk with you this morning. >> steve: you bet. >> ainsley: thank you. definitely want to raise awareness of this. 67 years old. ftd cases occur between 45 and 64. that seems very young. tell us more about this. >> yes. this is the most common cause for dementia in people under the age of 65. so, it's not surprising that someone would get this illness at a very young age. and i can just only offer a real

tribute to bruce willis and his family for coming out and talking about this very sad and tragic but very important problem. >> steve: you know, doctor. you are absolutely right. it is important. you know, last year a lot of us had never heard of aphasia. and then we, because he had it, we looked it up and we started worrying about that. tell us a little bit about the symptoms for this kind of dementia. >> yes. >> this is a disease that hits the front part of the brain. so, unlike alzheimer's disease where memory is primarily affected. with frontotemporal dementia we see changes in behavior. when the disease is more on the right side of the brain, we see more apathy, some times disinhibition, loss of executive control, inability to multi task, addictive behaviors are very common. the left side in the front is

what's responsible for the aphasia, the language. so, it sounds like both sides, you know, are affected when someone has aphasia and ftd. >> ainsley: dr. miller, is there anything we can do to prevent something like this? or try to. >> steve: stave off? >> ainsley: exactly. >> yes. there is quite good data even in people who have a genetic form of this which accounts for 15%, if people stay active mentally, exercise, even the genetic forms can be slowed down and staved off. so i think healthy lifestyle is really a theme here. >> steve: it's interesting that you said remain active mentally. my grandma to the day she died did cross word puzzles for that reason. and now a lot of people do things like wordle and stuff like that. >> ainsley: read books. >> steve: is he dusudoku.

are those the kind of things you are talking about. >> yes. very individualized. there is no single thing that is perfect. doing things that you love whether it is reading, music, singing, playing piano. these are all, you know, small measures they are not the cure. he the cure, we think, is coming but we are a little ways away from that. >> ainsley: it's just devastating. his family is remarkable to be able to do this and raise awareness. >> steve: dr. bruce miller, thank you very much for sharing your expertise on. this i'm so delighted to be with you. thank you. and thanks for sharing this story. >> steve: you bet. >> ainsley: come up, ohio residents demanding answers after a toix train derailment causing fierce of a chemical exposure. two of them join us next.
