>> brian: the e.p.a. is going to take over the clean up effort in east palestine. >> officials insisting that the water is safe to drink. >> here's to you. >> many are still wondering where president biden and his transportation secretary are. >> our president is more comfort be in a war zone than is he in his own backyard. >> president biden is set to meet with a group of nine eastern allies this morning during final day in poland. >> after russia's decision to suspend its participation in the last arms control agreement. >> it's all evidence of failed leadership by the biden administration at home and abroad. >> destroyed. >> surviving son of alex murdaugh took the stand in his father's defense. >> buster described his father as being destroyed after the murders of his mother and brother. >> just broken down. >> he cried?

>> yes, sir. >> conservative entrepreneur vivek ramaswamy officially launches his 2024 g.o.p. campaign. >> we are going to need to rediscover that national identity that we all share. >> ashbury university is planning to end its 24/7 religious revival. >> over 50,000 people have traveled to the area to participate. >> when so many people gather with this much love in their hearts, it's amazing. ♪ i'm getting those good vibes ♪ i'm living this good life ♪ i'm breathing on god's time ♪ and i ain't going to waste one breath ♪ i'm soaking in. >> steve: live from new york city on this 22nd day of fen, february, currently 33. going for a daytime high of 43 later on in the day on this, the first day of lent. it is ash wednesday. and welcome. >> ainsley: that's right. >> steve: welcome to hour two of "fox & friends." it's a holiday here around the world. and ainsley, appropriately

enough, you are in ashbury university in kentucky for something that we have been watching for the last, what, close to two weeks. >> ainsley: yeah. that's right. and i'm so glad reminded us it's ash wednesday. have to get our ashes today. if you gave something up. do that today. tomorrow on this campus is the national college day of prayer. and and last year they decided to name the day the thursday after ash wednesday. and then it turns out two weeks ago they were in chapel, all the students go to chapel on mondays, wednesdays and fridays and they never left. two wednesdays ago. >> steve: spontaneous. >> >> ainsley: exactly. it was wonderful. the minister was saying just don't leave if god is not finished with you. and they decided to stay. people came from all over the community. then all over the country. then all over the world. people were here in norway. one person told me yesterday they met someone from russia. people were coming from alaska and arizona and local

communities and they kind of slowed it down now because it got so big. they don't have the infrastructure here. there are only 2,000 students here and more than 50,000 were here. people were waiting eight hours to get in the door they didn't have the bathroom capacity. they brought in all the porta-potties. i don't know if you could see behind me there is a line of them. no parking. asking for volunteers. we will have to end it on thursday. which is the collegiate day of prayer. and so that's what they are doing. they slowed it down now. it was 24/7. now they are just doing it at night for the generation z which is 16 to 25-year-olds. the only reason i was allowed to go in is because i'm with the press. it was overwhelming. brian, i went in last night and our whole bible study is talking about it. tucker was talking about it. sean was talking about it. laura was talking about it when i was re-watching her show this morning and so have a lot of media outlets. really cool that these young people have started such a revival in our country.

>> brian: are you fearful that people are going to change their licenses to 25 years old and try to sneak in if there has been security precautions because of that? i know you are 27 now. >> steve: bad karma, just saying. >> brian: are you going to sneak in? >> ainsley: it is hard. i feel like if you did do that, jesus wouldn't care. he would say i still want you to come in. >> brian: that's why they have the confessionals in the back. >> ainsley: right. but then the other part of me says you shouldn't change your license. >> brian: okay. just an idea. ainsley, we are going to talk about that in a little bit. >> steve: she has all sorts of guests and talk about what they have experienced over the last two weeks. >> brian: one story is not going away and it's in ohio. >> steve: listen, people are praying for answers. it's been nearly three weeks since ohio's toxic train derailment and the secretary of transportation pete buttigieg says he is going to make it to that town one of these days. >> brian: when he gets a new

helmet for his bike. meanwhile on the ground in east palestine, officials are now working twice as hard to make residents feel safe about returning home. >> ainsley: jacqui heinrich joins us live from the white house with the very latest. jacqui? >> good morning to you, guys. yeah, three weeks after the train derailment and the transportation secretary is now saying that he will in fact go pay the people of that community a visit but not just yet. >> i am planning to go and our folks were on the ground from the first hour. when i go the focus is going to be on actions if there are two kinds of people who show up when you have that kind of disaster experience. people who are there because they have a specific job to do and are there to get something done and people who are there to look good and have their picture taken. when i go, it will be about action on rail safety. >> that comes after florida's republican senate delegation, including rick scott and marco rubio have both called for buttigieg to resign or be fired over his absence.

buttigieg fired back saying rubio had previously pushed for railroad deregulation by backing the industry's push to increase automated track inspections and reduce human inspections. rubio snapped back with first secretary pete was m.i.a. on derailment then he lies to media claiming my letter on track inspections is calling for deregulation. is he incompetent focused solely on fantasies about political future and needs to be fired to which buttigieg responded with the facts don't lie. 2021 letter you signed was obviously drafted by a railroad industry lobbyist. it supports waivers that would reduce visual track inspections. now will you help us toughen rail safety accountability and fines or not? so the tit-for-tat here is continuing. buttigieg does now have plans to visit. e.p.a. officials have said that the air and water testing has shown that the area is safe. but critics, including ohio republican senator j.d. vance said if that's the case the officials should prove it.

so ohio governor mike dewine and the e.p.a. administrator did just that at a lady's house yesterday. look at this. >> we believe in science. so we don't feel like we are being your guinea pig but we don't mind proving to you that we believe the water is safe. >> okay. i appreciate that. >> here is to caroline. >> here is to you. >> thank you so much. >> so the governor said the physical clean up is about halfway done. they have already hauled out about 15,000 pounds of contaminated soil and also 1.1 million gallons of contaminated water. the former president trump is apparently going to that community today and will be handing out pallets of water. as we just learned from the biden travel pool this morning that president biden has also been briefed on the situation there, where things stand, so hopefully we will hear more from him when he gets back to town. guys? >> steve: indeed. all right, jacqui heinrich north lawn of the white house. thank you very much. so donald trump is going to go and take a bunch of water and

cleaning supplies. unfortunately, just knowing how things operate at the presidential level, if donald trump beats joe biden to east palestine, i'm sure the current president will never go because, you know, they don't want to play backup, play catch up. and it would really say something if they didn't want to take the president, the current president out there because they were afraid of the air that he would breathe or anything like that. we don't know that. that's pure speculation. but it is curious, ainsley, when they do talk about our current will seaption pete buttigieg when i was mayor of indiana. >> steve: people have been baking him pete you couldn't fill in a pothole. he actually needed help from domino's pizza.

domino's pizza donated $5,000 to help fill in the potholes, ainsley, in south bend. so maybe if pete shows up there in east palestine with domino's, stuff will get done. >> ainsley: well, i think you're right about biden not going to play catch-up after donald trump goes. i do think they will send pete buttigieg. he says he was going go. he was kind of caught off guard in that would you have. wasn't expecting it. had to admit he was going to go. he could not say i'm not going to go ever when he is interviewed about it. he will send pete buttigieg and say biden will say hey, i didn't need to go. i sent my transportation secretary. chris sununu who is the governor of new hampshire, who could possibly run for president, too. said, look, i'm glad he is in ukraine. we support ukraine and want them to win. he said i'm an american first guy. he said the president should have gone to palestine on day one. here is d.j. yokley. he is a resident that lives

there and a business owner talking about biden visiting ukraine and not ohio. >> it's kind of crazy to think that our president is more comfort be in a war zone than is he in his own backyard in the buckeye state here in east palestine. you know we don't care who comes to be honest with you. as long as you are coming bring a shovel with you and roll up your sleeves and work together to fix this. we are looking for answers to get our lives back on track. naturally we understand that norfolk southern is a business. they are back in business, obviously and rolling down the track. we are looking for our business owners to do the same. there is businesses that are going to probably go out of business if someone doesn't help them. they just survived covid and they got their doors back open and now this. >> bret: pretty amazing the devastation there kids will not be in school today mainly because the former president going to show up. he got 70% of the area. he won that state twice by about 8 points. i hope that doesn't play into

the fact that the president of the united states showed no interest in going bev went overseas and probably will not go after, we'll see, it depends on things get worse. judge by his actions they know this is a problem. he picked up the phone and called michael regan the e.p.a. administrator called sherrod brown the senator. called josh shapiro, mike dewine as well as bill johnson. he didn't call j.d. vance. i guess maybe he didn't have his cell phone number just to say that that's bad. pete buttigieg knows he screwed up because now he realizes he has got to go. getting questions even from george stephanopoulos and he says i do think that it's important to speak out about that. i could have spoken out sooner, and i'm making sure that we're focused on actions that are making a difference. there's nothing replacing showing up to talk to the people, to get a true sense of what it's like there, to see the fear in people's faces, or see how they're persevering when you say my show up my footprint too

big it will be a distraction i don't do ph photo op.s. it's your choice. can you roll up your sleeves and walk down the middle of the street and hop on your shinawatra and get on your private plain and go home. i think he has a terrible year and a half. i can't imagine a more ineffective secretary who had a great opportunity to be the future of his party with his oxford education background military he seemed to have it all except for performance as a mayor and now as a secretary. >> well, the e.p.a. administrator has been out there for a while. it would be nice to see pete because it was a falls under his auspices. let's talk about one greek yesterday one week from yesterday election in chicago. currently according to a poll that was taken a couple weeks

ago. lolori lightfoot, who is curreny the mayor is this night or day place. now, here's the way it works. if nobody gets a majority next week and there are nine people running, the top 2 have a runoff. she is not in the top 2 at this point. so, it's interesting what she has said over the last like 72 hours. it started on saturday when she essentially said if you are not going to vote for me, don't vote. we're going to play the soundbite because she says she misspoke. here she is speaking. >> any vote coming on not lightfoot is a vote for [inaudible] >> that's it. [cheers] >> if you controlling your fate and your destiny, then stay home. >> steve: very clearly there at the end she says stay home. then it hit the fan and she said

i misspoke. watch. >> if i said anything other than everybody everywhere needs to voted, then i misspoke in the heat of a campaign rally hard to believe she is coming in third place now. [train whistle] >> ainsley: contenders beating her in the polls. this is what happens when crime goes up and you are karaoking and dancing as you campaign while moms and dads are burying their sons and daughters. look at criminal sexual assault up 18%. theft up 33%. aggravated assault up 13% and the list goes on and on. inflation is taking a toll on the windy city and this was her out there dancing when moms and dads are hurting. our own gianno caldwell we ho we all know at fox lost his brother in chicago and took care of his little brothers and sisters and decided to move them, i believe down to florida now. i think he is in the miami area now because he didn't feel safe

there. so we are continuing to hear stories like this. brian, pete buttigieg, i am wondering is it a schwinn or a huffy boy? >> brian: that's true. good point. can i get somebody? i will call the brain room in the break. >> steve: or the bike room. >> ainsley: we had a song about oh he is a huffy boy when we were little because our neighbor his bike was a huffy. >> brian: whatever happened to him? do we know? >> ainsley: i'm not sure. >> steve: i had a huffy. brian. >> ainsley: it was at the beach. it wasn't like my next door neighbor that lives in my neighborhood. >> brian: all right. do you have a name? >> ainsley: no. i think it was brian. brian kilmeade something. he didn't wear a helmet. >> brian: back then we lived life without helmets. i don't know how we survived. >> steve: i had a huffy and it had the high handle bars and a banana seat. it was the 70s.

>> ainsley: did you really? >> steve: no kidding. brian go ahead. >> ainsley: when i went to college my dad said i'm not giving you a car. we're not buying you a car. but i will redo your 10 speed. so i was the only one on campus driving my old 10 speed. and i think it had a banana seat, too. >> brian: in case you made a friend. o. >> ainsley: i got hit by a car on it. >> steve: i bet father felt terrible about that. >> ainsley: i don't even think he knew. >> steve: until now. he is watching right now in south carolina going. >> ainsley: it wasn't too bad. >> steve: just shot coffee out of his nose wait, she got hit by a car. >> brian: ainsley, if we sat here quietly how many more bike stories do you have? i got the sense you have like 20. >> kiawah island we had this long road we would ride down my sister and i would ride without our hands on the steering wheels or on the handles, we thought that was great. we thought we were so cool.

>> steve: sand is so absolutely pavement like. >> brian: i had my bike stolen i got a 10 speed and my parents asked me i can buy you a 10 speed now and get a really nice one supplement your own money. i worked the whole summer and got like the top line 10 speedy think for my confirmation and it got stolen three months later. that was my story a little bit of a letdown. >> steve: should have gotten a bike and a lock just saying. >> should have gotten that kryptonite lock but i would have probably lost the key. >> steve: there you go, always something. 7:17 here in the east. >> ainsley: i think i took us off the rails i apologize. >> steve: we heard the train go by and suddenly we were off the rails. ashley joins us now with news from temple. >> ashley: we do the family of a fallen temple university police officer chris fitzgerald is mourning his senseless death in the line of duty. fitzgerald was shot and killed in philadelphia on saturday during a robbery and carjacking. his widow recounting her last

memory with him saying, quote: he told me he loved me and when he walked out the door he said "i'll be right back, babe." the mother of his child also speaking out with their son. >> very god-fearing like. >> is he a super hero. >> he is? >> yeah. and he is also an angel. >> completely gut wrenching. the murder suspect is just 18 years old. parents in south nashville are worried for their child's safety and their children's safety as people living in a homeless encampment for more than a year used drugs out in the open and littered the grounds with trash and needles, concerned residents say it's way too close to home. what owe would ofind on the daily basis the kids picked them up and brought them down to the house not knowing what they were. >> i most definitely feel like this is putting my family at risk. it's dangerous. >> ashley: residents say they

have reached out to the mayor's office to address the encampment but have not heard back. military families forced to turn to food pantries to support the high cost of living. one coast guard life whose family was transferred to the big apple say her children go without meat most weeks because they simply cannot afford it. it's grossly more expensive here when gas really hit a high. we really cut back. we just made the decision that we were not going to drive the car and that we were going to walk or hike. and then down in the big easy an nfl hall of famer goes to mardi gras incognito. this masked man partying in new orleans is none other than nfl hall of famer peyton manning. this video shows one party goer failing to recognize the legendary quarterback while wearing that disguise. didn't he wear a disguise or his brother wore a disguise trying to trick the players that he was cooking at one point? >> tried to could a fake tryout. they redid stuff. but that was pretty historical. i think his family's house is just down the block. i think it's a couple miles

away. so, it's amazing how much fun peyton manning is having on this planet. >> steve: he could have fun yesterday because that was fat tuesday and it's all about lent and lent starts today. so today we show the picture of the happy guy behind him. >> brian: someone send me one of those cakes what are they called? >> steve: king cake. >> brian: i got one if anyone wants to come to my office. >> ainsley: is he rich, famous, cute, he has got a great career now. talking about football. >> steve: and he was living it up on fat tuesday. >> brian: i think he has a son that's going to be better than him when he is 10 already throwing the ball 50 yards. >> steve: 7:20 now. ashley, thank you very much. coming up alex murdaugh's surviving son takes a stand to defend his disgraced father. nancy grace has been in the courtroom. heard testimony, coming up but she had enough. she took mucinex instasoothe sore throat lozenges. show your sore throat who's boss.

children whose parents are accused of murder and they never believe the parent did it because i don't think that they can accept it emotionally deep in their core. they just can't believe it. it would be hard for me to believe it about my father i would fight to the finish, no way. but, a lot of interesting things happen in court yesterday. for one thing, we learned that when the cops were there, and alex murdaugh was standing right beside his dead wife and son, their bodies literally riddled with bullets. he was looking up a local restaurant on google and looking at a group chat about a woman in a bikini. is he right by their bodies. he just called 911 and his cell phone shows that of course the defense, of course, is claiming he was in shock when he was looking at that bikini woman. >> and then yesterday, they had a ballistics expert who wasn't a ballistics expert. >> okay. well you, said that correctly. i think the judge who is great judge by the way.

judge newman threw the defense a bone. because he allowed this guy who has no ballistics training to testify as to the trajectory path of the bullets the night maggie and paul were murdered. bottom line, in the end, he says yeah, the killer was really short like 5'2". the jury had to be dumbfounded. but, he had a lot of great visuals which could cause some problem back in the jury room. he was very tech fortified. >> steve: i think someone was waving the gun around and shocked people. >> oh my stars, yes. harpootlian the lead attorney got a gun and pointed it right at the state's prosecutor and said huh, tempting. so everybody laughed it off but i didn't think it was very funny. steve we are talking about it today. you can watch nancy's coverage of the murdaugh trial on fox nation every day. there is another story about it.

you know more about it than we do. the producers and i were talking. matlin matlin, now there is a woman in poland who claims i think i'm her? explain the story. >> well, the polish woman's name is julia fastina we all remember maddy mccann disappeared in portugal back may 3, 2007. and now this woman has emerged. she is 21, which does not match maddy mccann's age, but she does have a brown marking on one of her irises which is very, very rare. it's a genetic marker. so, that has given maddy's parents, i believe, cause to pause and reportedly they have agreed to submit to a d.n.a. test to compare to this woman. >> steve: wouldn't that be amazing if it turns out she is her. holy cow. >> it would be amazing. and it would be a miracle and if

it is not her, which i strongly suspect, don't know until i see the d.n.a. it's a horrible hoax or this woman has a some sort of mental disorder to do this to maddy's parents. >> let's see what happens with the d.n.a. nancy, thank you very much. catch nancy with her crime stories every day on fox nation.com. nancy have a great wednesday. >> you too, bye, guys. >> steve: bye-bye. still ahead on this wednesday, ainsley's in kentucky where people have been praying nonstop for almost two weeks. how this large gathering came together and made history straight ahead on "fox & friends." ♪ just know you're not alone ♪ because i'm going to make this place your home ♪ ♪ 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

did the president hit the marks to rally the world to stay on this cause? >> well, he hit the main marks. in going to moscow and going to kyiv and being seen to be suring shoring up our ally in ukraine. this is a very important juncture one year into the war in ukraine it looks like this so-called special military operation, the moscow would hope it would last a matter of hours if not days is now grinding into its second year. both sides, ukraine and russia are looking at shoring up their allies. ukraine, of course, has an extraordinary international alliance, nato, america, all the european countries and, of course, russia has shown in the last few hours its own version of its alliance with a meeting between vladimir putin and the most important diplomat from china. so, we do see a sort of entrenching of the lines.

it is very important that the biden has been seen there, that the president has been seen there. both sides, sort of as it were boasting of the clout they have. and we're going to have to see what that matters going forward. >> ainsley: douglas, bureaucratic rest 9. they're fearful. they have anxiety. they worry that if putin does take over ukraine that he could come into their countries next. those countries of bulgaria, czech republic. latvia a hungary, poland, romania and slovakia. what kind of conversation will they have today with president biden what exactly do they want from america? how can we help? >> these are the countries on the sort of second part of the frontline. they all know if you travel these places these are the countries that are really fearful. they are american allies. they are members of nato. they are countries who always feared i think correctly that if

putin's invasion of ukraine was successful they would be next. they knew his ambitions would not stop the borders of ukraine, that vladimir putin believed that russia has larger tear toler desire. so these are the countries that are most desiring of american help, of why nato help and very important point in this which i don't think comes across enough which is these are countries that joined nato not because we and nato went around looking for countries to join us but because they desperately wanted to protect nato. >> steve: all right. >> they came to nato. an exit question for you. one year from now, will we still be sending them money and will they still be fighting? >> it's possible. absolutely everything is possible. vladimir putin is all in on this now.

he has spent extraordinary number russian military, civilians and much more. the question is can he lose an n. a graceful manner that is the most question. >> steve: thank you for joining us on this wednesday. >> ainsley: impossible. >> steve: still ahead on this wednjujewel is going to join us. preview with legendary pitcher curt schilling who has a big announcement. ♪ oh, darling ♪ 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.

actually force hitters to start hitting away from the shift which they should have done in the first place. >> >> brian: why do we need bigger bases again? >> i don't know. listen, the baseball diamond is math matt particularly perfect. if has been since it was up vented 60 feet to the mound. 135 feet. home to second it's mathematically perfect. and if you think about it and what is the saying you hear in every sport a game of inches. it's going to make a difference. the base is going to make a difference but i have got to tell you, brian, the biggest change, think democrat matic change limited pickoff throws to first base. going to change the game in epic fashion. if you put ricky henderson on first base. the pitcher can't throw over now. now what?

it's going to be a dramatic change and might take a little bit to catch on but you will see a sizeable change in the way the game is played. >> brian: got to wonder how many times you throw over to first base. kurt chilling. >> well, you know what? part of the baseball show that i'm starting on outkick one of the things we are going to talk about over spring training is betting has become a big part of sports. it's always been now it's become prominent. when you look at the odds, running out there for world 2023 odds, yankees, methods, padres, all the normals, i think the dodgers and padres running out of offenses absolutely embarrassing. no one even remotely jamie martinez. mid 30 homer, 40 homer guy. plug it in and ho hum.
