the the fox news channel a little more san antonio, anxiously, brian good morning. 24 people from 14 states plus canada and france are now facing desk terrorism charges accused of attacking the future site of what would be a $90 million police facility. we're outside of atlanta. that site was under construction. where one protester was killed back in january. at the time on sunday, that this happened, dozens were wearing black masks, the site has become a pointed of ongoing conflict between police and left leaning protesters who are opposing the militarization of police. companies they sees a aiding them via donation to a police foundation and also environmental causes. the suspects allegedly threw rocks and bottles at officers during that protest sunday at cop city where the 26-year-old environmental activist was shot to death during a january raid there. at that time, police cruiser was

set on fire, rocks were thrown. fireworks were launched. skyscraper that houses the foundation prompting the governor then to declare a state of emergency. first reaction from the white house on sunday to that attack was surprise. >> we have not been -- i have not heard any discussions about this protest over the weekend so would have to go back to the team and see where we are and where we are standing and a responds on that. just this is the first time i'm hearing about this protested over the weekend. >> the atlanta police chief called it a coordinated attack. 21 of the suspects were the outside the state of georgia, including three from massachusetts. two from new york. two from arizona and two from wisconsin. there are claims at least one of them was wrongfully arrested. a 28-year-old man named thomas jerry agains the southern poverty law center acting as a legal observer on behalf of the national lawyers guild. the southern poverty law center says employee is experienced legal observer and their arrest

is not evidence of any crime but of heavy handed law enforcement intervention against protesters. the atlanta bail fund has now begun fundraising for these suspects. the group called defend the atlanta forest, which is a social media site that apparently these protesters often used has claimed that they were nowhere near the demonstration at the time of their arrest and has called them friendly concert goers, guys. >> brian: let them go. that sounds like a good explanation to me. jacqui, thanks. i buy it. >> steve: it's a little crazy. so the atlanta solidarity fund that she was alluding to is asking for donations to try to raise money, bail money for these people who are arrested. they. >> ainsley: tell kamala harris. she will bail them out. >> steve: i have heard that. >> brian: did that before. >> ainsley: yeah. >> steve: i was reading about this. committed to bailing out anyone arrested protesting and they will never condemn the tactics of protesters who fight earnestly for their beliefs. so, they really, really believe in this, even though, you know,

so they will bail them out even though they threw molotov cocktails and rocks at cops and apparently according to the police chief in atlanta, some of the protesters tried to blind officers by shining green lasers into their eyes. and, you know, you would think they would know the law, particularly since a 28-year-old guy who was arrested as one of the agitators, thomas jergens apparently is a staff attorney down at the bottom on the second to the left. >> brian: he says he was wrongly charged. >> steve: he is from the southern poverty law center, according to the stated of gary and will deleted linkedin page. only the lawyer and one of those other people are from georgia. everybody else is from elsewhere. including people from as jacqui just mentioned canada and france. >> ainsley: isn't that crazy? >> steve: why were they in atlanta? >> ainsley: 35 total arrested. 23 charged with domestic terrorism. out of all of those, only two

are from the area. how are they able just to travel around the country, some of them around the world, finding places to protest. how are they able to leave their families or not go to work. not pay their bills? >> brian: i think they are getting paid. i think you got to separate these guys and these women and really drill down on how they are organized. how they are funded. because they don't need another job. i'm convinced of it. the other thing is this. what great opportunity for the administration to show they care about crime and not about ideology. and you just say what just happened in atlanta is so unacceptable to come after the men and women that wear blue who are having such a hard time staffing academies, filling up academies and police stations around the country to see an attack like this. makes it even tougher and to stand strong would go a long way to doing what his internal show that they are bleeding law enforcement support because of

their la zay fair attitude towards crime. donate not to make sure it's built but make it bigger. take out more of forest. make the academy more cutting edge to show everyone when do you stuff like this, not only are you not rewarded you will pay a personal price and your objective will never be achieved. >> ainsley: it's training center dubbed cop city. she didn't even know about this. >> brian: how did she not know. >> ainsley: it happened over the weekend and she said i don't know anything about it. i have to find out about it. the atlanta police chief says this was not about a public training center it's about anarchy and addressing it quickly. brian kemp said is he condemning the violence. domestic terrorism will not be tolerated in our state. >> steve: clearly it was domestic terrorism. why is antifa not designated a tariffs group? donald trump, when he was president said he was going to name it a terrorist group.

couldn't do it ultimately because the lawyers said it's not a single group. it's an umbrella of different parts of stuff. >> brian: it's an fbi the fbi director said. >> steve: it's just an umbrella of people who in this case were at a music festival. then wept over to the future training facility, changed clothes and then lit a bunch of commercial grade fire crackers and fireworks. bruce is a business owner in that area. talked on "fox & friends first" how these are protests are so different than what we saw in the 1960s. >> we support 62% of the g.d.p. we spay the sales tax every 20th of the month. we pay the property tax that funds public safety, fire, et cetera. so when you push back on this, you rob the resources to for business to be sustainable. what happened? people go out somewhere else. they will move out and your city

suffers. i would rather go back as my family in the civil rights movement. my dad and uncles were on the march with dr. king. i would like to go back go back suits and ties. when the sun went down. everybody went home. protesting at 12 midnight, 1:00 a.m., 11:00 p.m. at night is very dangerous. >> steve: clearly it's domestic terrorism and to the question about why isn't it designated a terrorist group? today, the "new york post," if you read the op-ed page says essentially, the narrative in the country is that only right wingers are violent. and that you're not a hate group if you hate crops, which is what they write today in the post. >> ainsley: all right. something else that is always on our mind or has been the last few weeks alex murdaugh that trial in south carolina he was convicted of murdering his wife and son paul. he also faces nearly 100 fraud charges and he is also appealing the murder convictions.

he is going to spend the rest of his life behind bars. is he charged with 99 counts ever embezzlement, computer crime, money laundering. >> steve: and he admitted it. >> ainsley: in six different counties. exactly. he bulked the law firm and the clients out of $9.3 million according to authorities. and he also arranged for himself to be shot so that he could collect insurance money for his son. there are some other investigations that involve the family including the death of mrs. saterfield who was his housekeeper who died on their property. and there are reports that they are going to open that investigation again. so this guy is just entrenched in so much crime and investigations and we interviewed. we sat down with one of the jurors, there were 12 of them, obviously. and here he is being taken away. he went back to hear the sentencing. he was in new york yesterday. our amazing team tracked him down. we got him back into the studio.

and we talked to him. here's what he said. >> throughout the entire process of the trial, i tried to create two story lines for myself. you know, i tried to create one where alex is innocent and what he is saying to us is all true and, you know, is he telling the truth. and one where, okay, you can't trust him. is he lying where the prosecution is saying is true. and whenever i got to the end, whenever we got to the closing arguments, the story line of, you know, him being there, him doing it, that's the one that made the most sense. the other one, it was full of doubt and full of holes, full of confusion. the other one made much more sense. he is there we have a video. we have this huge case regarding paul and maggie. they are not able to be there. they are not able to speak for themselves but, you know, paul is able to be a witness for himself with that video. >> ainsley: if you didn't have that video, do you think you would have found them guilty? >> we have had talks about that i think it's very hard to look back and take that out and see where we are. without a doubted deliberation would have been much tougher but

what the outcome would have been, i'm not sure. >> steve: so, to his point about the technology and the son's video which essentially tied him to that scene, plus, during the trial, you heard about the on star and the telemetry and all the digital stuff, they were able to place him at the murder site 20 seconds he arrived in the car and 20 seconds later called 911, which is like. >> ainsley: 17 seconds to be precise. okay, so you supposedly got out, you checked for a pulse, how do you do that in 17 seconds. >> ainsley: flip your son's body over, his cell phone falls back out. try put it back in his pocket and check on wife and call # 11. that would take longer than 17 seconds. the nail in the coffin really allowed the jurors to say this guy did it. at around 9:00, they die, and he allegedly wasn't there. and then they find paul's phone about a year after the murders. the feds are able to unlock it and see that he was snapchating

with the guy -- he was keeping his dog. is he a neighbor. that guy was out of town. he was snapchating, and you could hear alex' voice in the background. >> steve: that's what did it. >> ainsley: that did it. he said he wasn't there but the video proved otherwise. >> steve: that guy was a great guest. we will hear more from james mcdowell coming up in the next hour of "fox & friends." >> ainsley: pretty impressive young man 22 years old. >> brian: he is the perfect juror. perfect. you think he would be eliminated because his family was involved in the investigation. >> steve: his brother. >> ainsley: his brother was a deputy. >> the fbi is ramping up efforts to bring home four americans kidnapped gunpoint just south of the border in mexico. offering a $50,000 reward for information leading to their safe return. now, we want to warn you this video we are going to show you is graphic. it shows the moment heavily armed men are seen dragging the victims into a truck bed. we're learning those americans are all friends from south carolina who were traveling to

scientists warn ugovi deadly obstruction in obstruction ozempic could trigger eating disorders. apparently that is not stopping weight watchers moving into the market with a massive new telehealth meal dr. marc siegel good morning to you. >> good morning, steve. good to see you. >> steve: it's good to have you. the reason we are talking about this is there has been antidotal stuff now they looked at things long term in china and it sounds like the people in china who were on certain drugs like this had some major problem. >> well, first of all, steve, the study out of china looked in mice and we can't always correlate mice to people. it doesn't translate the majority of the time. but, we -- it has us looking at it. the question is, is a drug like w. >> govy and ozempic if it took

it over two years the effects of this job has a lot of positive effects increases insulin. tells your brain to stop eating. also makes you feel full. how does it do that? it acts on the large and small intestine telling them you are full. and there is some question of whether over a long period of time that might cause the intestine to enlarge, the small intestine to enlarge. if it does that, i as a physician prescribing it, would have to look at what your under lying history is and how long am i keeping you on this drug. because, remember, these drugs were initially for diabetes, now we are using them effectively for weight loss. i also want to point out that a related drug has been on the market since 2005 and been used quite safely for diabetes. >> here's the thing. people hear about well, you know, elon musk used one of these things so i'm going to try it too, aside from it being very expensive but it apparently works. when it documents weight loss. but if there are obstructions or

problems with your intestines and i know the chinese study looked at the long term effects over 16 months, but apparently the bad stuff didn't happen until 20 months. so i know that's one of your concerns as well. >> no, exactly. by the way, the first point you made the drug works. i have to tell you ozempic was studied in the new england journal of medicine took 15% of your weight off in one year. it works. but the problem you just said is who is taking it? a lot of people are taking it that don't need it. they see a celebrity taking it like elon musk. they are taking it. i'm against that totally. do you know what you really need, weight loss needs to be an effective team approach where you look at lifestyle. are you exercising enough? are you too sedentary? what is your exact diet, are you seeing a nutritionist? is the physician who is prescribing this have expertise in the area? these are really, really important. that's why i'm really against what you also pointed out at the

beginning, weight weamps making a deal with telemedicine my personal opinion is bad idea. i like weight watchers a lot but telemedicine is not the way to prescribe these drugs. they are already vastly overprescribed and already cutting into the diabetes market where we need it the most. i think the study message today is be cautious. you know, let's let doctors handle this slowly over time. one more point, steve, if you are on this drug and i try to stop it, you may get a rebound weight gain and so there's a problem we haven't solved yet either. and i don't want to commit people to years and years of years of drug that i don't know all the potential side effects about. i would rather use it short-term if i can. >> steve: by the way, doctor, we did get a statement from the makers of we giovaniy, they said this gastrointestinal side effects are well-known. majority mild to moderate severity and of short duration. patient safety is the utmost to

november vo nor quest. safety data and will ensure patient safety. novo nor disk. the profile continues favorable. does that sound good to you? >> i think that's a fair statement i don't think we should use a study in mice to change the paradigm here. i'm very comfortable with this drug but also concerned that it's overprescribed. >> steve: all right. got to talk to your doctor about this. dr. siegel, you are our doctor. thank you very much for joining us live. >> you don't need this drug, steve. that's for sure. good to see you. >> steve: listen. i just eat the right stuff and not much of it. that's it. thank you, doctor, for calling me out. all right. still ahead. one of america's most dangerous cities could soon make it even harder to charge a suspect with a felony murder. but the shocking new bill being

communities. and this nonsense must stop. >> brian: a lot of the victims are minorities, too. people forget about the victims. you also say this is going to lead to vigilante justice if they start doing things like this. people are start taking their own protection into their own hands. >> this is a sad comment. it it's unfortunate that people sit in these high places and have security and are protected by their zip codes don't understand the page of people who suffer when they lose their loved ones at the hands of these what i consider to be people become heartless, soulless and until these politicians home first like the member of congress who is accosted in an elevator. then and only then will they advocate change. the fact of the matter is crime should not pay. crime should not be excused. it should be -- you should be accountable. you should be responsible and anybody with any modicum of common sense knows that creating incentives that embolden criminals to commit nor crimes devastate communities further, businesses, and it does not lead to that shiny city on the hill that some people want america to

remain. america is just not that shiny city anymore, brian. it's a dark city. because these democratic cities refuse to do their jobs. recommendation let's see if the governor -- wes moore is going to embrace or reject this like president biden seemed to have sobered up whether it came to the d.c. coin coin going easy on crimes. >> thank you, brian. >> brian: tomorrow, catch me live on location at this legendary place called goody goody burgers over in tampa, florida. we will find out if crime is really on top of your list on things that need to be tackled by the next president. meanwhile check in with somebody i think would make a great president senior meteorologist janice dean. >> janice: will you be my v.p. >> brian: it depends on what your platform is. >> janice: i don't think i can because i was born in kentucky. >> brian: let's check your birth certificate. >> janice: that i can cover. what are your names. >> jenna,. >> ava. >> where are you from. >> north carolina.
