that was really tough for me. because they looked a little bit above knee high. they were waving and my heart just dropped. it's like why, why? >> steve: he is right. why? police say 28-year-old audrey hale drove into the parking lot of the covenant school, just after 10:00 central time. moments later hale was seen blasting through the glass front doors to get inside the school. the doors were locked. she shot her way in. then she climbed the stairs and is seen roaming the halls warmed two rifles and a handgun and that is where hail opened fire. >> ainsley: police say that hale also used the second floor vantage point to fire down at responding officers that were driving into the school parking lot. two hero officers, rex engel bret and michael entered the school approximately 15 minutes after the first shots were fired.

they confronted and they killed hale. the entire shooting lasted 14 minutes. lawrence jones is live in nashville from the scene of yesterday's tragedy with more. lawrence? >> good morning, family. right behind me is the covenant school as well as the presbyterian church. and there is larr makeshift memorial that is already forming outside of the school. i just want to set the scene of what investigators are doing right now. they are continuing to process the crime scene behind us right now. as you can see there is a police officer right outside of the crime scene that lets you know they are still in there in and out processing as we try to figure out what the motive is for this suspect. you guys perfectly executed exactly what was going on leading up to the shooting. the doors were locked. she shot right through. and what we're being told is that this was very methodical. it was planned out. what we are expecting today, hopefully, is to get to the

motive of what drove this suspect to do this. we know that she left a manifesto describing exactly what her intentions were. that it was planned out. there has been allusion to the motive being the religious background as well as her attending the school. but we haven't gotten that confirmed just yet. as you guys mention. and we know this pastor, pastor chad scruggs because he used to be a pastor in my hometown of dallas. his daughter h hail hallie was s well. looking to see if that's part of the motive as well, guys. send it back to you in new york. we will be here all morning as this community mourns the loss of six individuals gone way too soon. >> brian: lawrence, i guess it's not going to be hard to pick out a motive if this is true there is a manifesto and there is maps in the car. that was almost immediately released but we have not heard that any sense that we will hear

about this manifesto soon? >> lawrence: yeah. i will say this. the police department has done a wonderful job as far as giving out information. i was really surprised to get the 911 call so soon after the shooting as well as start guilty starting therelease of play-whys leading up to the shooting. i think the sore subject is that manifesto. typically in investigations like this they decide not to release it because they want to the individual. since the suspect is dead no reason not to release the information to the public. though he they have been transparent so far we hope they will release it some time today. >> steve: could be coming. lawrence thank you for the live report. he will be live there all morning. the nashville police chief who we saw a moment ago, mr. drake told nbc last night there is some belief arresting a motive. he said there is some belief that there was some resentment for having to go to that school.

we are hearing from authorities simply that the shooter audrey hale was a former student there. they didn't tell us whether it was and how many years she was there then you look at what he said and there could be some belief there was resentment for having to go to that school. obviously something, brian, to your point, you know, whatever was bothering her to the point of taking those guns to that school yesterday it's in that and maybe it is the fact -- of all the schools she goes to the dishool she went to. >> ainsley: it's interesting she is 28 years old when she walks into the school and that's an elementary school which usually goes to, what? fifth grade? i'm not sure how old the senior class was at this school. but it three 9-year-old children. two girls and a boy are dead. three adults. a top administrator, a custodian and a substituted teacher.

she sent a text message to a friend right before this happened and said i'm going to die today. you're going to hear about it on the news. her friend said you have a lot to live for. praying that god covers you. the shooter was a 28-year-old home address was three miles from the score school. they cordoned off the house with crime scene tape. of fbi, atf, local police found manifesto and other writings in the house. targeted the school and other locations they say which were never carried out they say. they interviewed the shooter's father. they also interviewed the shooter's mother. the mother had posted multiple posts in support of gun control on social media and said i think i lost my daughter. >> brian: here is tom, the republican of tennessee. he has heard all of this. >> it is horrendous. i lived in the state legislature. it's a horrible situation.

i are refact people on both sides. transgenders thing and the other side we don't need any more guns. need to take their guns. three precious little kids lost their lives. criminals are criminals. my father told me he said buddy, if somebody wants to take you out and doesn't mind losing their life there is not a whole heck of a lot can you do about it. we have a mental health issue in this country and need started addressing it. >> brian: beyond evil. whoever sees a 9-year-old kid and would ever think to doing any type of violence to them. somebody twisted beyond comprehension. and then you wonder i heard one of the forensic guys going through his background and took down his instagram and facebook and found out linkedin account he -- she identified as he/him. so, obviously, this person was all types of mentally challenged, emotionally challenged. and to get into that school

there is no armed guards. that's going to be another debate worth having. i don't think that's a political thing. i think that's a factual thing. what parent wouldn't like to know at least there would be a plan for the deranged before they attack. >> steve: what we do know is we do know that this school had active shooter protocols. they did all sorts of stuff. >> ainsley: the doors were locked. >> steve: the doors were locked. they followed all the rules. in the united states right now. that's the rule. lock all the doors. remember when we were talking about uvalde. there was a door open. and the shooter went in that way. you can't have a guard at every door in every school in america. they did everything that they were supposed to do. and, yet, six people are dead. >> brian: anybody with a gun can shoot through a door. >> ainsley: this says it all. there is a picture, i don't know if we can see it. there is a picture. >> steve: little girl who is on

a bus. >> ainsley: to the glass and crying. >> brian: there is a procedure in my school district where there is surge protection. multiple schools if you have multiple schools in your area. i think it's time for every parent to find out what exactly is the protocol in your district. instead of saying i'm going to take the guns. we have got to get mental help. that's something long-term. but today you have to make sure that there is a plan protect your children and it's going to have to be with a firearm. there is just no doubt about it. >> ainsley: if your children go to a small school. private school parents know. usually if you are in a big school district i don't think my parents have ever asked that when i was in school. >> brian: things have changed dramatically. in ours there was a huge seminar about that a year ago. >> steve: we do know audrey hale had no police record and no history of mental health problems. she lived at her home -- at home with her mother and father. and her mother norma worked at a

nearby church. neighbors say that the family was very nice and very religious. >> brian: if somebody says calls you today and says you are going to hear about me in the news. please call the cops because they bore to do something violent to themselves or somebody else. straight ahead. a staff member for senator rand paul left with life-threatening injuries after a stabbing near the nation's capital. what we know about the accused attacker next. >> ainsley: former president donald trump sits down with sean hannity on a potential indictment. >> this that never been done like this before in the history of our country it i tri to this extent. people are pleading with the prosecutor don't do it, don't do it. it's wrong. even democrats.

in washington with the details alex? >> good morning, the staffer was attacked on saturday with a knife, according to police. it happened around 5:00 p.m., so you are right in broad daylight. that was in northeast d.c. the staffer was treated for life-threatening injuries. now, that same day, 42-year-old glen neil was arrested. he has been charged with assault with the intent to kill. so in a statement, senator rand paul wrote this, quote: we are relieved to hear the suspect has been arrested. at this time we would ask for privacy so everyone can focus on healing and recovery. and then something that senator paul himself understands in 2017 he sustained serious injuries after being assaulted by a neighbor in kentucky. and then in 2020, here in washington. senator paul and his wife were attacked by a mob near the white house. so looking at d.c.'s year over year crime stats now arson, motor vehicle threats thefts. they have all skyrocketed. see thefts in general up 17%. and homicide up 16%. get this the attack on senator paul's staffer occurred on the same street a mile from where

democratic congresswoman angie craig was attacked last month. the assault took place in the lobby elevator of her apartment building and the suspect in that case hamlin had a lengthy rap sheet. is he believed to have been homeless only survived that attack by throwing hot coffee on the man. >> according to one of the two witnesses cited in the d.c. police report, apparently the suspect popped out of the corner, stabbed the paul staffer multiple times as he and a witness were walking the victim was able to grab the suspect's arms and the witness with him tackled the suspect leading to a struggle between the parties. the report says, and then the victim and the witness ran as the suspect fled. >> ainsley: we wish that victim the best. last night we all stayed up late i'm sure you did too to watch sean hannity's exclusive sit down with donald trump.

long time we have heard. took up the whole hour of sean's show. he asked him a myriad of questions including the legal question. >> you are facing a lot of legal challenges. in your opinion, does this help you or hurt you in terms of your chances to win in 2024. >> well, if you listen to the fake news media it helps because they are all saying it's a scam. even people that don't like me are saying this is terrible thing to do for our country. i'm leading everybody by a lot at the polls for every republican and every democrat by a lot including biden by a lot. they can't beat you that way, they are going to do this kind of stuff. people are pleading with the prosecutor. don't do it. did don't do it. it's wrong. even democrats. even people that traditionally are not exactly my fans are saying don't do it.

because i didn't do anything wrong. >> brian: pretty insane, too. if you think about the fact that they are having his lawyer testify in the mar-a-lago case, that they did this rare thing of saying well, we think you are implicated in the hiding of documents, so we are going to question you now. they're bringing in mark meadows, bringing in john ratcliffe, bringing in others to go testify has to do with january 6th. then they go down and triple down and go back to david pecker. the guy who used to run the national inquirer and bring him into the grand jury yesterday. the relentless pursuit of this former president, regardless of what you think. i have never seen anything like it in my life. >> ainsley: because it's never happened. >> brian: nothing close any single person. maybe john gotti. >> steve: this but this guys what the president. that's what makes it so extraordinary. there is a brand new marist poll that came out last night. and, brian, you listed some of these investigations of the president. georgia, with election

interference, the porn star payoff, january 6th. 56% of americans, a majority say the investigations into the former president regarding those 100 percent fair. now, also, 75% of americans think the former president did something illegal or something unethical. and only 23% say that the former president did nothing wrong. >> ainsley: he said in that interview you heard they will do anything to make sure he doesn't win, even if can he get the votes, they will value him legally. he also talked about the chairman of the federal reserve, jerome powell. he didn't minutes words. he is not a fan. he thinks that he is too interest rate happy. listen to this. >> i wouldn't have supported the bailout. the bank would have to get a loan by itself and maybe they could have. what happened with the bank the interest rates went too high. i had my own situation with powell and i beat the hell out of him. i was not a big fan of powell.

i was recommended by some people. i didn't like him. is he too interest rate happy. what you do is you get the oil prices down. that's bigger than interest rates. the only thing. and what happened we took oil and now we take interest rates. those banks failed because the interest rates were too high. they stupidly bought long term treasuries. >> brian: a lot of people were critical and say he kept it too low. if you play out the way his policies were in the first four yearser does not go out of his way to destroy the american have industry. he goes out of his way to keep the price low. does not spend trillions of dollars on a rescue package we don't need because the economy already turning around. you conclude inflation going up and don't need to raise rates. you can see it could ripple the right direction. if the president runs on just the things he did as compared to what president biden is doing, he has got an extremely strong case to make and got people around him that are running against him.

but the one he has a huge problem with is governor desantis who he says he was never friends with which is surprising because i believe they were. he said that he came to him in tears asking for an endorsement. i think that's obviously an exaggeration. i would say without the endorsement, he probably doesn't get the nomination. doesn't become governor. but what's happened since is governor desantis has defined himself in an extraordinary way. even democrats will point out what a successful governor he has been. >> ainsley: he said if you want to give me a nickname, call me a winner because look at my record in florida. but donald trump did say my audience loves loyalty. and he would not have won if it were not to be my endorsement. >> steve: former president said ron desantis would be working at a pizza parlor without me. the one part of that soundbite that a lot of people are going to pick apart and it's disturbing is where the former president says i would not have supported the bailout. the bank would have had to have gotten a loan on their own and

they could have. if you remember when silicon valley bank was imploding, there was a run on the bank. had the federal reserve -- rather, had fdic not stepped in to guarantee -- whatever the account was, there would have been a run on every bank in america. so, you know, for the former president to say i -- i just would have let it spin, that is a problematic problem that a lot of people, you know, ultimately, they changed the rules regarding the fdic insurance. it has always been 250,000. in this case with silicon valley bank 't. became unlimited. that is a problem. but. >> brian: kevin o'leary said the same thing let it die. >> steve: he said let the regional banks die. for the former president to say he would not have stepped in to stop that, that's troubling. >> brian: it could be troubling or a good solid policy because people look at the san francisco

fed, one in 2019 and 2020 you have got a problem. ceo on the san francisco fed board at the same time ignore the problem and then they see him cash in $3.4 million. and then they watch him go on vacation and there is a lot of people say well maybe trump was right. >> ainsley: let the bank fail and still the fdic could come in and make sure people didn't lose their money? >> steve: those are details. remember, there was a run on the bank. 40% of the deposits were taken out of the bank in one day. the worry was that there would be a run on all the hanks. and that -- if you have a -- if you have money in a bank, that could have impacted you. so, ultimately, what they did in stepping in probably saved runs on all the banks. >> brian: janet yellen said i'm going to pick and choose which banks will live or die. i don't think that's a side anyone decides with either. >> ainsley: we have a huge story we have to get to. fox news alert.

heart breaking shooting at the nashville christian school. >> brian: meanwhile lawrence jones is on the ground speaking with the fraternal order of police president. that story is next. a landscaper. a hunter. because you didn't settle for ordinary. same goes for your equipment. versatile, powerful, durable kubota equipment. more goes into it. so you get more out of it.

>> ainsley: we are back with a fox news alert. a heart breaking tragedy in nashville where three children and three adults were murdered inside a christian elementary school. >> steve: surveillance video shows the shooter identified as a 28-year-old transgender,

former student shooting her way in to the buildinga calculated d planned attack, that's how it's described before being taken out by police. >> brian: lawrence jones is in nashville now with the james smallwood. lawrence? >> thanks, guys. james, thanks so much for joining the program. i know this community is mourning. i want to start with michael and rex that charged the scene as the suspect was firing on them and their car right now. what can you tell us about those officers? >> you know, i think it's important to remember that evil exists in our world and as long as that evil exists we are going to need somebody who is willing to charge into the gunfire and what we saw yesterday were brave men and women, first responders who literally ran into gunfire as they were taking it, and went in there to stop the threat from

spreading any further. those officers and those first responders, the measures they took were march beyond what anybody expects of a regular human being. we have to thank them and praise them for the excellent job we did. we got the call and in 1 minutes we were able to stop the threat. that is absolutely a phenomenal response and we should be thankful for that. >> lawrence: especially when we had different scenarios where officers didn't run toward the fire. these officers were willing to take on that fire head on. i want to talk about the suspect. was she on any radar for law enforcement here in the local community or was this a total surprise for everyone in this community? >> you know. i think it was a surprise for everyone. it's difficult to say whether or not she was on any radar until we do a really deep dive. obviously we are still putting all the puzzle pieces together on this. clearly there are mental health issues there are a lot of questions going to be answered in the coming days. it's a horrible tragedy for our community.

>> lawrence: one of the things that a lot of folks in the public as well as the community is wondering she left a manifesto out there. and many wonder if the church as well as the school was targeted because of their religious believe. what can you tell us about that manifesto and do you have any hope that it's going to be released for the public to see. >> i which i chief drake alluded to that yesterday in his interview. at some point the police department is going to release that for the public or at least what they can. the challenges right now. we don't want people reaching conclusions until we are able to have a very detailed investigation and certainly that manifesto is going to answer a lot of questions for us as we go through the investigation. we will have to draw those conclusions from the information that we have and what's out there. so, certainly, i think we will see that in the coming days, but, before we all jump to conclusions about what the motives are let's give the investigators an opportunity to look at this and piece through all the details. >> lawrence: thank you so much for your service and those officers from doing what they did yesterday. i will send it back to you guys

in new york. >> steve: hey, lawrence, could you ask him while is he right there. you know that, school door was locked. it's supposed to because that's part of active shooter protocol. will there be changes going forward where something else -- will there be a cop outside of every door in nashville? or is that just the way it's going to be? >> sure. so one of my anchors is asking the question about this door was locked in this school but the school -- the suspect still shot through that door. is there any push for there to be resource officers in private schools as well as public schools all over nashville right now. >> i think as we all send our kids to school we all have this thought in our mind and, unfortunately, we had some families that had to live this nightmare and they have to live with this nightmare for the rest of their lives. certainly it gives us pause and makes us think how can we make our schools more secure? how can we provide more safety? and certainly more resource officers in schools is one of

those thoughts. unfortunately we are just going to have to in the coming days and weeks think about how we can provide those solutions for our community. especially for these private schools where it's a little bit more challenge it's not a public connection. >> lawrence: thank you so much. i will send it back to you guys. >> steve: thank you, lawrence. >> ainsley: chinese find unlikely friends in utah.

government gifts. she joins us now. how did china infiltrate utah? >> well, thank you for having me this morning. i ran many pieces of legislation to push back on china's influence at the policy level. namely getting our confuse shut institutes closed in you it all. closing a confucius. taking funding from the chinese communist party and getting it to lobbyist in utah who lobby on behalf of the a foreign government. has to disclose they are a foreign and wear a badge foreign agent. ran a bill to make sure china cannot purchase their own land in utah. as i on these important policy issues. i found that china has been credit did iably effective in some ways reaching out at the state level to find different lawmakers to argue their cause. and, you know, at the federal level in congress, they get regular intelligence briefings, they are aware generally of what is going on nationally national

security. that's not always the case state level. we certainly don't get regular briefings. we certainly aren't getting a regular update on international relations. and so i think and then the fbi, the state department and the senate select permanent committee on intelligence have all released a report on this china is targeting state legislatures to try and make a difference in getting their own policies through. >> brian: it's working. i guess money talks. we have to follow that, too. look at what they have already done. they have delayed action to ban chinese confucius institutes at state universities. we have identified them as a problem still they existed and they delayed the closure a letter from president xi to the fourth are graders how do you win them over get them young. chinese advocates quoting mormon church and frequent talks/trips with utah lawmakers. they are able to come back with deliverables and suddenly chinese has influence in your

state. how concerned are you? >> so, i just want to make one clarification. the individual associated press one of the individuals they highlighted having ties with the chinese communist party was quoting scripture and manipulating and misusing teachings i would argue. at no point has the lds church weighed in on this or tried to influence legislators. i have never had anyone from the lds church reach out on this. i want to make sure. china is cunning and i would argue that they tried to persuade people and meet them in whatever way they find to be the most impressionable and persuasive for them. i want to make that clarification. and can you repeat your question? >> brian: my question is, don't you have to find out basically they were praising the lds church didn't say they were infiltrating them. that's one way to win over the people of utah. lastly, do you plan on following through to find out why certain lawmakers did what they did to

(psst psst) flonase. all good.

as for religion and hard work, similar stories. so what's driving down these core values? let's bring in our panel in the back on the far left. we have matthew cairo.

a campus reform correspondentenning long island university post student. we have daniel e. friends a campus reform correspondent at syracuse university is he a student and michael mass toes, a coast guard veteran in the front we have a marine corps veteran and meghan dishman a new york mother a child who is 8 months old. >> five. >> ainsley: five months old and michael is also the father of a 4-year-old in the back. thank you for being with us these numbers are pretty shocking, aren't they? back in 198, 70% thought that prism was very important. now it's 38%. matthew in the back, how do you feel about that? are you shocked? >> i'm not shocked that it's only 38%. >> ainsley: why? >> because on college campus, we see this happening every single day. me personally i was raised to grow up and love my country and freedoms that it gives me.

but my peers, i can't say the same thing. they don't value american values like we do. at leadership institutes campus reform we have been reporting on stories like this where free speech codes and free speech zones with causing students to feel need to censors themselves. they don't value freedom anymore and the educational system isn't teaching us this. >> ainsley: daniel, i see you shaking your head is it because they are too scared to stand up for what they believe because they will offend someone? >> i will say it's mainly because of the academic institutions. you know, from like k through 12 and even in college, you know, i'm in syracuse university. you know, professors have been telling students to not like their country and so, do not like their country. and when students talk about their friends they are not going

to be be operate and stand up. >> you said you are not surprised. >> the poll says it all we don't have our communities anymore. we are not proud to be in this nation anymore. we don't look forward to having children. you know. in syracuse, university can i speak to the student culture there i'm talking to my friends all the time i said hey when do you want to have a family? usually they scoff at that question. when i'm 30 i'm going to travel the world. but, family, religion, patriotism. those are the core values that give americans around the world, americans then and now fulfillment. >> ainsley: sergeant nugent how do you feel about this. marine corps veteran. you talk about that in your interview with the producers and you also talked about the birth rate.

why aren't people want toggle start families? >> i think that because there is more education opportunities for females nowadays. there are more interested inning following high profile careers rather than starting families. >> ainsley: because it's expensive you want to have the money in the bank. >> i think it's both expensive but at the same time we're very interested in gender equality so we want to reach high profile jobs but to do that we need to be, you know, we have to the have the same amount of time that we can put to our jobs as males. and if we're having children, then we're not going to be maybe up for that promotion that a male would be if, you know, because they are not getting -- you know, bearing children. i think it's that and also women nowadays which is not a bad thing, but we're very focused on our needs and our achievements rather than the needs of the community and creating, you know, a family and raising children. so, it's more of like the needs

of the few compared to the needs of the many. and, again, it's not a bad thing it's just it's definitely changing the course of society because everybody has their own goals in mind now rather than let's raise a family. let's like american households. >> ainsley: michael, let me get to you. what i'm hearing a lot and my generation is the same way, is back when you talked to our grandparents it was putting others first. it was about putting your country first, it was about putting your god first, your family first. it wasn't focused on ourselves. it wasn't a selfish ideology. now what i'm hearing is it's all about what is best for me. i don't want to have kids or i don't want to go to church because that's not -- i don't want to focus on god it's all about me. >> so essentially, i think we as a country need to embrace and believe in the country that we live in currently. i think this poll is a good opportunity for us to do some self-reflection. if we are having the results that we have where people are

having lower rates of feeling patriotic. >> we need to look at why that is. not so much to condemn them why can only do that if we come together as a community. people need to be more how can i help my neighbor and less about how can i help myself. >> ainsley: meghan, you have a problem with people who complain about america, right? we could focus on the shared freedoms that would have. >> ainsley: you think people that are ungrateful need to reflect on what their lives could look like in another country where why don't have those freedoms. >> we could, yes. sharp decline of religion on the poll as something that i think answers a lot of the quells that we're seeing. if you are acting with the sack official love of christ. then you are not seeing as much tolerance, decline, family decline, lack of community engagement, but you will see things like the rise in the love of money. >> ainsley: thank you all so

much. great conversation. still ahead, former president trump sitting down for exclusive interview with sean hannity. he gives insight on his relationship with florida's governor ron desantis as rumors of a 2024 rival swirl. of a 2024 rival swirl. we are going to bring it to you next. ever better. my most important kitchen tool? my brain. so i choose neuriva plus. unlike some others, neuriva plus is a multitasker supporting 6 key indicators of brain health. to help keep me sharp. neuriva: think bigger.
