>> the white house finally sending fema resources to east palestine, ohio today after the agency initially denied the ohio governor's request for federal relief. welcome to fox news live. i'm griff jenkins. jacqui: i'm jacqui heinrich. and alan shaw just finished meeting in east palestine, including with bill thompson.

and lucas got a chance to ask him a question, i understand? >> that's right, one of our colleagues asked him that question. and that meeting just wrapping up just moments ago in this building right behind me, jacqui. he spoke to fox very briefly though. >> to support the community? >> like i said, very briefly. fema now supplying a small team to east palestine and we heard from ohio's governor who said hhs and c.d.c. will be deploying officials here as well to set up a small free medical clinic, including toxicologists and medical personnel to treat some victims in town. in a joint statement, ohio's governor and fema saying, quote, fema will supplement federal efforts by deploying a senior response official along with a regional incident management assistance team, support ongoing organizations, including assessments, a potential long-term recovery needs. now, one local resident, kayla

miller who lives just three miles south of here, tells us she lost animals on the farm, chickens, rabbits and other animals like the poll pot bellied pig and she they were s. >> we're not getting -- the financial part of it is not going to fix this. some of us have closer addresses than some of them with the same zip code. i'm 3.5 miles away and she's closer. so where is our help? >> since that massive train derailment about a half mile from where i'm standing, norfolk southern is handing out $1,000 checks to residents of east palestine zip code only as you heard, many residents nearby don't want to be left behind and forgotten and whose kids play in the same streams and drink the same water as those here. yesterday, went to a local stream here in town to see for ourselves what the water looks

like. local residents pointing out what appeared to be chemicals lingering and producing a slick sheen. senator jd vance and ohio's governor wants norfolk southern to pay for the cleanup, not the american taxpayers, shared by kayla's friend tiffany. >> i'm not trusting anything that norfolk southern is sending our way with testing. i want to see outside companies coming in testing our water, our air, our soil. >> and many other local residents we've spoke to also don't trust what the federal government and some of the state officials are telling them about the water and the air, which epa says is clean, including ohio's governor. former president donald trump is expected to visit east palestine on wednesday, where no doubt he'll have a lot of support in town. this is trump country, jacqui. jacqui: lucas, i know that your interaction with the ceo alan shaw was very brief, but can you tell us anything more about his demeanor? did he indicate how long he's

in town and where he's going next today? what else can you tell us? >> well, just remember, just a few nights ago, there was a big town hall at east palestine high school which has been opened to students since mondayment so the kid are back in school, but that town hall was raucous, and notable that norfolk southern officials were not there. they were expected to be there, but they said they feared for safety and what's notable about the ceo, alan shaw, he came here and didn't hold a press conference and we're not sure who he met with exactly. it was secretive and we had a stakeout as you know, and as we saw, he spoke for all of two seconds, after pending that open letter to residents here in town. he says he's here for the long haul and to support the community, but many people here have their doubts and they say that while, you know, the epa and others are saying the water here is safe, the air is clean. they're wondering what's going to happen, five, 10, 20 years down the road they don't want to be left out farther down the

line. jacqui: for more on this, we're joining the representative from ohio, represents east palestine and a member of the energy and commerce committee, bill johnson and congressman you serve on the house budget committee. congressman, you know, surprised to see the norfolk southern ceo in town after he dodged the town hall meeting. have you met with him? have you asked to meet with him? do you plan to meet with him? >> yeah, i'm meeting with him this afternoon. he and i are going to have a private conversation later today and i'm going to give him some feedback. jacqui: okay. are you satisfied with what you're hearing from the epa and from folks surrounding this issue, that your constituents are safe? we're seeing these images of thousands of fish that have died and we're hearing reports of animals, sick and dying and of course, a lot of worry from people in the community that can they believe what they're hearing? that they can go back to their homes and drink the water? >> yeah, look, we should not be

dismissive about any of the concerns that the residents here have. i'm certainly not, i've been here since monday for the most part. and i've been in touch with the mayor and the ohio and federal epa. the fire chief, the county commissioners, the health officials and the governor's office and even the epa administrator. i've been covering the waterfront on this so to speak and i can tell you that they're making progress and i do believe that, you know, that the epa, both the federal and the state have made a valid case that the water is clean. this community has a city water system that is routinely tested anyway. it does not get its water force from that creek that you're showing where the chemicals now reside. it has been tested, it's going to continue to be tested and that's not going to stop until these residents are satisfied

that that testing is-- meets their standard. it's not my standard that it has to meet, it's the residents' standard and those who have private wells. that's the real question. what happens with those that are private well water? i met a gentleman in a diner today he said what about my mine? i've been calling for days trying to get somebody to test my water. there's a two-fold process. the contractor for norfolk southern does a test, the county health department does a test. they go to different laboratories, they compare the results, and we get a valid confirmation of the status of that well. that testing is ongoing, also, and so far we haven't seen any well water contamination or city water contamination, so, i'm-- you know, it's up to the epa, both state and federal, to make the case that the water and the air are clean and they're the

ones telling the residents here that it is, and i'm satisfied with the science that they're going about it the right way. jacqui: there's also been some concern though that the mechanisms with which they're doing this testing and saying that the, you know, the air is safe and water is safe, might not be sensitive enough to detect small levels of these toxins. >> well, you know, i'm not an engineer, i'm certainly not a chemist, jacqui. i can only tell you what the xets experts are saying. the us-epa is responsible for the enforcement of the clean air act and clean water act. they're the ones that have to make this determination, but you know, we are getting a -- fema is coming today, as you noted in the segment earlier, fema originally said no because ohio did not qualify. and so, the governor, when the governor was told no, i led a delegation letter that said,

wait a minute, this is not a disaster, then you tell me what it. it was bipartisan. republicans and democrats here in ohio said, fema, you need to get engaged. you need to come here and see for yourself. so they're coming today. and so, hhs and c.d.c., there's going to be a toxicology capability at the health clinic that they're setting up here next, i think by tuesday it's supposed to be active. so, hopefully we'll be able to answer some of the questions. jacqui: we're running out of time, but i want to get one more question to you, because i understand that fema's initial response that they couldn't come was because there's a party responsible, it's not like a natural disaster, stow that held up having fema there. is that something that you think we need to look at legislatively for some kind of consideration for change in the future? because obviously this is a disaster.

you've got people who, you know, they're lining up wondering if their headache is from just a headache or is it some sort of a side effect from breathing in whatever might be in the air. at the same time, you know, this train was not required to be, you know, marked hazardous. didn't have to notify the state of ohio that they were, you know, carrying these chemicals. what needs to change legislatively to prevent something like this from happening again, real quick. >> well, great question, jacqui. i spent 27 years in the air force and anytime there's an operation or a crisis, you always do an after action report. there will be plenty of time after the fact to do the armchair quarterbacking, monday morning quarterbacking to tear this thing apart from start to finish and see how it could have been done better and what we need to do long-term to make sure it doesn't happen again. jacqui: congressman bill johnson, really appreciate your time, best wishes to you and all affected in the community.

thank you very much. >> thank you very much. griff: from the other side of the aisle we're joined by congressman from california, and on the committees. congressman garamendi. i want to pick up where congressman johnson left off. here we are fema arriving two weeks later. are you satisfied with the federal government's response so far? >> well, let's talk about fema. there's a process, a legal process, that process begins with the local government and then the state government and then fema. the state government has to request or has to actually set up a disaster declaration and then request fema to arrive. as i understand it, the governor did that in the last day or two, and now fema is there. there's a legal process that's underway. so i'm not at all concerned that fema wasn't there early because the governor hadn't asked fema to be there. now with regard to the other

issues at hand, mr. johnson is quite correct, that the congress of the united states has a specific responsibility horror and frankly, has not carried out that responsibility in the past. and that is to set the standard for safety. griff: and congressman, as you heard from so many palestine residents, they don't seem satisfied with the attention they've gotten or the support they're getting if this had happened in your district, you would have likely be frustrated as well. what do you make of that? >> well, certainly. and i would be frustrated. and i'd be very frustrated norfolk southern. they caused this accident. this accident was not caused by the state, not caused by the county, certain not caused by east palestine and wasn't caused by the federal government. it was caused by the railroad company and they have the responsibility for all of this. that is the cleanup, that's to

pay for all of the services that are being provided or not being provided, and i would be very, very concerned about norfolk southern handing out thousand dollar checks. what are the citizens who get that check giving up. are they giving up their right to sue the railroad company? possibly. i would be very careful about that. but norfolk southern is responsible for this entire mess and for all of the costs associated with it. griff: that's a good point, coneman, and we know the ceo of the railroad on the ground there. we'll see if we get any more. i want to change gears, because the other news that we've had today. secretary of state blinken issuing a statement where he says that the administration has determined that crimes against humanity have been committed by russians in ukraine. you just returned from the region, your thoughts. >> absolutely. there's no doubt about this. this is a formal declaration.

this puts on the record for the future that russia and specifically putin and his military leaders, as well as the individuals, are going to be held responsible. and that means they're going to wind up in court, in the world court in the hague at some point in the future as did happen in the balkan countries, following the kosovo situation there. and yes, that's a good point. need to be done, it is done and now let's pursue the war. yes, i was there with chairman rogers, the republican chairman of the armed services committee, specifically to determine whether our military equipment, the munitions, the other equipment, is actually getting to the front line. we were satisfied that all of the bookkeeping, all of the accounting is going on. when we were there, there was about a thousand-- about 100 yards of rockets and 155 artillery shells and the rest, all of it lined up coming

right off the plane and right onto the transports to get it to the front line. in addition to that, the u.s. embassy is repositioning in kyiv, necessary personnel to watch the rest. and i must tell you that the european, eastern european countries, poland, ukraine, poland romania, and the baltic countries are very, very concerned and they're wanting the united states and n.a.t.o. to support the war. they know if we pull out they're next in line. russia is coming after them. griff: congressman john garamendi, thank you for your insight and the trip very fascinating and we'll be watching that as well. have a great weekend. >> thank you. griff: jacqui. jacqui: griff, we're now learning more about the chinese spy craft shot down near south carolina. officials have called off the search for two unidentified objects shot down near lake huron off the coast of michigan

and also the one in alaska. alexandria hoff is live outside the white house with more on this story. >> hi, jacqui. no debris has been found for those two objects or the one that went down over canadian air spaces. they're believed to have fallen into difficult terrain and by norad and the airborne imagery among tactics to try to find the debris and that these were most likely civilian. not the case with suspected chinese spy balloons. the remains have been recovered off the coast of south carolina. two weeks ago now. it will be examined at the fbi lab in virginia. now today, china's top diplomate mocked the u.s.'s response, calling it hysterical. he did so at the munich security conference where it's unclear if he and secretary of state antony blinken will meet. if so, it will be the first time since the spy flight

incident, which led to blinken calling off the scheduled visit to beijing earlier this month. congressman mccaul weighed in from munich. >> i hope he responds in a fashion that we're not going to allow a spy balloon committing espionage across the united states without some sort of retribution. >> now, the biden administration had to respond to why the suspected chinese spy flight was able to linger across the continental u.s. while the smaller objects were immediately or swiftly shot down. the white house says that they're now establishing new parameters for decision making in similar circumstances in the future, jacqui. jacqui: we'll keep watching the munich security conference to see if blinken ends up meeting with the chinese top diplomate. that would be an indication where things stand. thank you so much. griff: the prosecution in the murdaugh double murder trial resting its case after

presenting a detailed timeline of the night of the murder. the south carolina law enforcement division using gps and cell phone data to track alex murdaugh's location and movement from that night. alexis mcadams joins us with the latest. hey, griff, how is it going? today we can learn more about the data that could be key in this case as prosecutors layout this timeline of what murdaugh was doing before and after his wife were shot and killed that night. the double murder trial has been going on for weeks. alex murdaugh is on trial for allegedly shooting and killing his son paul and wife maggie. on friday the prosecutors zeroed in on the movement. and the cell phone video that his son recorded before he was shot down. en we'll show you that. and the clip was taken out on the murdaugh massive property in the low country steps from where his son and wife were

shot and killed. friends though of the victim, griff, have identified the defendant's voice talking in the background of clip which places alex murdaugh at the scene at the time of the killings. that's the last time police say there were any communications from paul or his mom maggie. 20 minutes after the murder, gps data shows that murdaugh left the property and went to his mom's house. prosecutors say he lied how long he was there. and gps shows he was back home at 10:00 that night and that's when police say he call 911 and body cam shows officers arriving at the crime scene. that's the body cam there. and this has been played. and he called and asked them to help. and witnesses are called throughout the paint. the defense pointed murdaugh as a loving family man. if he's found guilty he will it will be 30 years or more.

>> now to mississippi where the tate county sheriff's

office is charging 52-year-old richard dale crum with first degree murder. he reportedly went on a shooting free killing six people in a rural town south of memphis saturday afternoon. charles watson is live with the details. >> hey, jacqui, so many heavy hearts in tate county this afternoon as investigation into the 52-year-old suspect who authorities say shot and killed six people after he went on a shooting rampage friday afternoon. we're hearing from president biden on this latest-- on this latest tragedy. the president said he and the first lady, quote, grieve with their families and with the americans nationwide as gun violence claims yet more lives. we're also proving -- or praying, rather, for the recovery of those injured and this horrendous attack and survivors who will carry grief and trauma with them the rest of their lives. the president took the opportunity to push for gun law reform saying congress needs to take action for communities being, quote, torn apart by gun

violence. this latest mass shooting here in mississippi all started in the parking lot of that gas station we're standing in right now in arkabutla. and the suspect identified as richard dale crum opened fire and killed a man sitting in the seat of a pickup truck friday morning. the victim's brother managed to escape through the woods as crum pursued him briefly. and while the detectives were at the scene, there was another shooting a couple miles away and found a woman shot and killed later identified as the suspect's ex-wife. the woman's current husband was also injured, sometime later. a sheriff's deputy tracked down the suspect's car to the driveway of a home before arresting him. they say just behind that home is an access road where they found two more bodies, one in the road and one in a car and the suspect in this case, jacqui, is booked in jail without bond facing capital murder charges. those charges are expected to be upgraded.

jacqui: all right. charles watson for us. thank you for following the st story, appreciate it. >> get this, enough fentanyl to kill 100 million people seized at the southern border since october. this as border officials continue to deal with this stream of migrants and drugs. casey stegall is live from mission, texas with the latest, hey, casey. >> griff, good to see you, out of more than 31,000 migrant encounters that have been recorded here along the southern border in just the last week alone, u.s. border patrol tells us out of that number, it included at least six sex offenders, four gang members and one attempted murderer. and that has just what was caught. it does not include the more than 12,000 got aways. in other words, those who successfully evade law enforcement capture and that's again over the last seven days. texas dps says since 2021,

there have been more than 1.2 million known got-aways. this group tried this past week leading troopers on a chase in mission, texas not far from ak allen before bailing from the vehicle and then leading them on a foot pursuit. police eventually arrested the 15-year-old mexican driver and the migrants he was trying to smuggle in. meantime, texas governor greg abbott says this past week in his state of the state address, that fentanyl and securing the border are now emergency items for the current legislative session, meaning they are given priority. abbott has proposed another g.o.p. lawmakers additional $4.6 billion for border security. he also wants certain fentanyl overdoses to be labored as poisoning and for those cases to be prosecuted as murders, in other words, holding the dealer or the seller of this deadly drug accountable in case someone days. griff.

griff: casey stegall, live for us from mission, texas. thank you. jacqui. jacqui: cleanup efforts are still underway in east palestine, ohio where a freight train containing hazardous materials derailed earlier this month. we'll hear from a resident of that town coming up after the break. liberty mutual customizes your car insurance so you only pay for what you need. with the money we saved, we tried electric unicycles. i think i've got it! doggy-paddle! only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ (vo) with verizon, you can now get a private 5g network. so you can do more than connect your business, you can make it even smarter. now ports can know where every piece of cargo is. and where it's going.

>> cleanup is still underway in east palestine, ohio, where a train carrying toxic chemicals derailed earlier this month. residents of the small eastern ohio town are demanding answers and more action from the biden administration. at least six class action lawsuits have been filed against norfolk southern as some fear their headaches and rashes are caused by exposure to the toxic gases. griff: well, our next guest has been personally affected by this toxic train rec. east palestine resident ben ratner joining us now to weigh

in. and ben, i understand this week that you took some news cameras down close to the wreck. what did you physically experience? >> yeah, thank you for having me, griff. thursday i went down there, or actual local trash collector is in the area where the cleanup crew is stationed and taking over his area and he was really open to having the news cameras there telling his story. so we went down as close as we could to the tracks, he owns right to the tracks and there are several areas of standing water with slick irridescent chemicals on them. thousands of feet of oil-covered rocks against the tracks. this hasn't been cleaned up properly putting profit over safety. they haphazardly cleaned it up and went back to work. griff: and did you physically have a reaction to any of that? >> yeah, yeah. and so that was something that, you know, thinking that they're telling us to be back home and safe, there's several hourses

in that area, after being down there for just a few minutes, we felt strong irritation in our eyes and throats and i actually got really nauseous from it for the whole day for about eight hours and later this evening i had some really awful vomiting, actually. griff: so you became physically ill from just a moment tri exposure. >> yeah, we were there for 10, 15 minutes and i regret being down there now, having people go home, what are we supposed to be listening to, 75 homes had high levels after they told people to go home. there's only 500 homes in the area. that's one fifth of the homes had high levels and currently only doing air monitoring, not doing sampling, they're not sampling north at the south and south. they need to be doing that so they can see how the chemicals are dissipating. griff: so, ben, are you satisfied with the government's response so far? >> no, no, starting with our own state government. i mean, our local officials

could never have foreseen doing something like this and handling something like this, and my heart goes out to the mayor and people, they're trying their best and hands were tied early on because the railroad company controls the narrative whenever these accidents happen. and the local government is doing their best, but it's a 53 billion dollar a year company and the state government really should have stepped in sooner and as well as that, the federal government, the federal government had to wait for the state to actually declare it a disaster, and there's been a lot of holdup on multiple levels. griff: ben, the ceo of norfolk southern is in palestine today. have you seen him? do you anticipate meeting with him. >> no. griff: if not, what would you say to him? >> i haven't seen him. they did not show up for our town hall the other night, that was really disheartening and for them to say it was out of safety reasons, i mean, we're here showing up in our town in great fear of safety reasons due to the company that caused.

4.5 million a year, making. and giving the town a payout and a million dollar payout to go to funds for the disaster. 5,000 people in the surrounding area, divided a million dollars, it's nothing, it's nothing. griff: ben, do you feel like secretary of transportation, pete buttigieg should come there? >> i would like to see him here. i mean, it is a transportation disaster. i think that issues like this kind of go back years and years, and these companies have been around for so long, the railroad brakes that are in place are civil war era brakes. they were supposed to be updated 2014, 2017, that was repealed, and so they've been multiple generations, democrat, republican, everybody, they all bow to the mighty dollar and this company makes so much in their own large hedge funds companies own 40% of the economies and blackstone and vanguard and that situation is something that a small town isn't able to stand up against.

griff: and our hearts go out to all of the residents there in east palestine because this is obviously something that needs immediate attention with all the resources. got to let you go. >> i appreciate it. griff: they're telling the residents to drink the water. are you drinking the water? >> we're not. we're trying to limit our exposure to the water. now, we're showering, we're in the city so we're in the city's aquifers, but hundreds of residents in the area with wells are at risk and they're told not to drink the water, and how are they supposed to shower or their animals. griff: thank you. appreciate it, jacqui. jacqui: the u.s. declared that russia has committed crimes against humanity in the war on ukraine. we'll hear from trey yingst jnt ground. and our financial planning tools can help you reach them.

crimes against humanity. a legal designation the state department says is reserved for the the most egregious acts. and vowing as long as it takes. >> with less than a week to a year mark to the war, vice-president kamala harris says the world needs to act to hold russia accountable for acts in ukraine. and soldiers on the front line telling they need more western support. a ukrainian territorial defense, says his troops from 129th brigade are using drones for artillery fire. with the help of radio our troops transferred information to where the movement of our enemy was seen so they can shoot. the leader explains.

outside, soldiers under his command show off american made sniper rifles and they say they're thankful for u.s. support and need more artillery and rocket systems to kill russian soldiers. we have a lack of heavy weapons, ukrainian sniper, alexander explains. while much of the world's focus remains on ukraine's eastern front, the south is where analysts believe that ukraine could soon reclaim more of their territory. for civilians who endured nearly a year of shelling, strikes and attacks, that expected counter offensive couldn't come soon enough. we live in fear, school secretary says. we're scared for our children. >> we're scared for our children. heartbreaking words there. today we met some children at a school just six and seven years old. already this war is etched into their minds, griff. griff: t trey yingst, you and your team stay safe, jacqui.

jacqui: griff, after months of negotiations with russia, the body of an american soldier killed in ukraine has finally returned home. 24-year-old joshua alan jones, a veteran who volunteered to join the ukrainian war effort was killed in august, but russia refused to release his body for months. my next guest is ukrainian major sergei, thank you for being with us. he accompanied joshua's body to south haven, tennessee. tell me about everything that happened. i know that you know joshua well. you know him personally and you worked hard to get him home through a lot of obstacles. >> jacqui, that's, i mean, that's a really long story and i would like to say that, i mean, right now it's important to focus on the fact that here at home, he's a great warrior and he-- the united states and memphis,

and should be staying proud of having such a person fighting for our freedom for democracy and for the good. jacqui: it seems like you are moved by his memory. i'm sure that having volunteers from all sorts of countries, but including the u.s., you know, u.s. veteran who volunteered to join the war effort, to stand to defend ukraine and democracy more broadly. how does that make you feel knowing that you have that kind of support? >> that's an incredible thing. it helps us to understand that it's not just the war between the ukraine and russia, it's i mean, it's a war between the good and the evil, and true warriors understand that and for them, it's really, it's simple. it's very straight forward decision that i belong there because i have to fight for ukrainian people and they're fighting for my home, but they're fighting for america and they're fighting for all

civilized people. jacqui: you met joshua's family? >> yes. jacqui: how did that go? >> jacqui, for them, it's a -- it's incredibly tough time because it took almost half a year for joshua to return home, but now we can say that he's home, his family received his medal, that he was awarded posthumously and the ukrainian flag. so, i mean, that's the least we can do. but he remains -- we remain with grief, his friends left that he fought with and the lads who actually were able to safely withdraw from the battle because he was providing covering fire and so, i mean, he was-- he's in a better world and eventually we'll all be hopefully with him and it's important to know that there is -- it's more than just ukraine that is fighting russia. we have a coalition, we have,

you know, people, we have individual decisions, we have decisions by countries and to the united states who leads this coalition, and we need more of that. jacqui: we are approaching the one-year anniversary of the war in ukraine, i've heard countless calls from ukrainians for better air defenses, for more advanced weapons, saying that ukraine could stop this with the right support. we heard today the u.s. formally declaring that russia has committed crimes against humanity which i'm sure you would say you've known all along. what needs to happen before this continues for another year and do you wish that there was a stronger declaration, maybe a state sponsor of terrorism or something along those lines that would actually move the needle for you? >> jacqui, you've got it right. that's the next step. i mean, it has to be not just considered by civilized people, but it has to be officially declared that russia is the state who sponsors terrorism.

and i think that it's easy to also comprehend what it's all about. i mean, for us, we don't want war. ukraine doesn't want war. ukraine wants peace, but peace in this case, after we discussed it, it's a war between the evil and the good. so, the only way to get peace is to get the good comes with victory against evil. and we can discuss what it will consist of and definitely it's being for ukrainian, armed forces being successful and for that we need weapons and we need continuous support of coalition, we need the return of the territories, and we definitely need support, guarantees, most political type and military guarantees in order for that peace to be sustainable. i hear you. unformer we've run out of time. thank you for joining us today and thank you for bringing joshua alan jones home. >> thank you, jacqui. jacqui: daytona 500 is kicking

nascar club series wins, and kyle busch, runner up, top five, a couple of times. has never captured the checkered flag at daytona. that's what folks that watch nascar like myself are going to be watching to see how kyle busch does. i think the top three larson, blaney, chase elliott and denny hamlin, but if kyle busch can pull it out tomorrow, he's going to need a picture perfect day at daytona, that's going to be something to watch for. jacqui: are you making any dollar bets. griff: yeah, actually we've got brandy back, and our producer is listening. brandy, quick, what is the weather going to be tomorrow during the peak race time? >> well, from what i've been hearing with our meteorologist, we know there's a slight chance that they might get some rain. outside of that the temperature is going to be really nice out here so i think we are going to be crossing our fingers that they have a clear and dry day tomorrow. griff: all right. and the fans obviously fired up. brandy campbell, thank you very

much. that's what i wanted to get. to answer the question, jacqui, no money on it, i don't know how to wager on nascar, but it's fun to watch. only been to one game, but if you hear on brandy's report there, it's so loud and that's really, a lot of excitement there and we have our fox and friends weekend team there. they're getting a front row seat to it all. jacqui: a great assignment. griff: all right. here real quick, for more on the story and much more, scan your screen on the screen there, the code, download the fox weather app or stream fox weather on your favorite device and you'll be able to track the weather there and don't forget to watch live coverage of the daytona 500 on fox starting at 2:30 eastern tomorrow. and don't miss, it's simply the biggest race of the season right there. daytona 500, jacqui. jacqui: griff, many questions remain following the freight train derailment in ohio. residents wondering if their air and water are safe. we'll have more coming up. it's easy to get lost in investment research. introducing j.p. morgan personal advisors.
