kim gardner. and she has faced fierce backlash really for republicans for a long time. but now she's getting bipartisan calls from also people who have supported her in the past saying, look, people are not safe with her in office at all. >> todd: she use the word "unfortunate." what is unfortunate, she thought she was a d.a. in the first time because everything in her background screams public defender at least the fact george soros appointed, supported the a pier that tells you everything you need to know. this crock wasn't ready for trial. you would be ready if you didn't drive way so many staff members who actually want to prosecute criminals and actually want to do their job as d.a. your far left policies did not contribute to the skyrocketing crime in your community. to your point, you are scared to go there and all these other cities that are filled with these far left das and far

left mayors are seeing this huge increase in crime that we have been covering now for three years. >> ashley: this morning, when i saw the attorney general in missouri andrew bailey demanding she resign by noon or will go forward with the proceedings. i'm not sure how that would work. how difficult it would be to get her out of office. but my question why is it getting to this point? this has been happening for a long time with her. this is nothing new. it is so unfortunate that i can't tell you how many volleyball games i've gone to with my family doing the exact same thing that she was doing with her parents, walking to their hotel. and because this guy had violated his house arrest 40 times, how are you still on house arrest if you have been violating 40 times coursework shouldn't you be back in jail? >> todd: lets remember she is the victim here. she has a life altering injuries because of this. to your point on the 40 times, white gps monitoring if you know

this person violated 40 times and there were no consequences? this goes back to overarching thing, there are consequences for the victims, life altering consequences and she will never have her legs again. what are the consequences to this bad guy? no consequences. continue to do bad acts over and over again. let's remember the underlying bad act, it's not like he stole a loaf of bread, it was armed robbery. we need to remember that. why was this guy out on the streets in the first place? left a blend kim gardner but also at the judge in the case and looked at the facts of the case and said armed robbery question ricky can be on the streets, he's fine. >> ashley: kim gardner said these robbery charges stem from 2020. how much time to unique? plenty of time. >> todd: what i was saying earlier, backlogged because of horrific policies with an increase in crime. >> ashley: before we move on, i do want to point out this is happening downtown st. louis. downtown st. louis is where st. louis cardinals play many

downtown residents and office workers come back to work, come back to school, come back to your homes. it wasn't safe! and years later when they did the autopsy of my client, jimmy who was a cop who died of pulmonary fibrosis, they found benzene, led in his lungs! if i were given in the advice i would say wait until the scientists, not the epa but the independent scientists to tell us the water and the air is safe because i'm afraid and so should everybody else. you have to protect your family. >> todd: this is really bipartisan on the part of the government, kristi taught at the time for the biden administration. people in new york metropolitan area, a law firm for the commercials and basically trying to tell people, hey, there was a pot of money out there for you if you are experiencing these conditions. do you think there will be a similar fund to help east palestine residents decades to follow? to your point, attorney's

before, these issues pop up. >> todd that is a great question and it's not just money but health care. the government to the right of 2011 when president, the time it was obama later president trump permanently extend at the world trade center health program, not just the victim compensation that provides free health care to people who breathe the toxic dust of the world trade center. i would love to see this happen here. both the government of ohio and the federal government to provide housing for these people so they can get out of dodge! because the fact is they shouldn't be anywhere near the water or this error until we know for certain. we know the air flew all the way the toxic dust with that train spread over pennsylvania and into western new york. i would be very afraid. and i would take care of your kids and not be in these areas close to it, at least within 10 miles around it. >> ashley: be so these

officials go into the homes of the residents of east palestine and drink the water in front of the cameras proving it was safe. what did you make of that? >> excuse me, it wasn't proving anything. it was a photo up. with all respect to president trump who went there yesterday, let's face it, it was great marketing to show he has water. i think the president for signing that bill to extend the rights of 9/11 responders and the nonresponders that expose the world trade center. but we need scientists. we don't need politicians. so please protect yourself. >> todd: important advice because we sell years after 9/11 wasn't pretty. attorney michael barasch, thank you, sir. >> ashley: thank you. if fox news alert we are learning about the news reporter killed on the job and a tragic's shooting spree. breaking developments for you at the top of the 5:00 hour. >> todd: plus kim gardner to resign or prepared to be removed

from office. this after 18 athlete loses her legs in a car crash with a robbery suspect supposed to be on house arrest and taking those legs. we will tell you why her office is being blamed. don't go anywhere.

>> todd: a fox news alert, officials say a florida tv news reporter and a nine-year-old girl are dead after the same gunman returned to the scene where he killed a 20-year-old woman yesterday and went on another shootingistry, just horrible. you're watching "fox and friends first," i'm todd piro. >> ashley: a.m. ashley strohmier in for carley shimkus. dillon lyons is the victim. the love of my life was murdered, i will never be the same person began, please help my family during this time. >> todd: brooke singman has th
