>> you are failing miserably steve the fiery hearing on capitol hill as senate republicans ripped into dhs secretary make mayorkas let me say this. >> you are not going to take any responsibility. >> injured and five injured collapse parking garage. the number of vehicles parked on the roof likely caused the collapse. >> todd: today lawmakers are going to hold historic hearing on ufos? elon musk says despite his extensive work in outer space he has not found evidence. >> i'm very familiar with space and i have seen no evidence of any. >> lab in china is where this thing came from. >> congressional republicans press their case that the

coronavirus originated in a chinese research lab. >> according to a news report, not one but two lab leaks are the most likely sources. >> only explanation credibly supported and by common sense. >> i'm here to announce that i plan on making a comeback to the nfl. >> damar hamlin is ready to return to football. >> with the buffalo bills defensive back now medically cleared to resume. >> it's not the end of my sorry. ♪ >> 7:01 here in new york city. we start with a fox news alert. rescue crews are back on the scene of a deadly new york city parking garage collapse early this morning. >> rachel: responders are making sure no one is inside as investigators try to pinpoint what caused the structure to buckle. >> brian: all right. so todd piro, right after he is done with this show went to lower manhattan to find out for himself what is going on. todd? >> todd: hey, guys, it is still a really active scene out here, so much so as the media we have been pushed really far away. cops and firefighters locking down multiple streets still,

even though this collapse happened yesterday. i'm going to step out of the shot and you can see some first responder vehicles there you can also check out this overhead shot from a helicopter. you can see a very active scene still. simply because it appears that this area, that building, still not too safe to be around, hence so many evacuations. let's get into what happened yesterday. at least one person dead, five injured. after the parking garage collapsed here in new york city's financial district just blocks from wall street and the brooklyn bridge. cars parked on the third level crashing down onto the lower levels. vehicles on the first floor crushed by concrete slabs. residents, of course, forced to evacuate from their apartment building and they were stunned. >> i felt the rumble underneath us. >> they were doing like a lot of construction like really heavy duty. you know, this morning. but you know. i wasn't paying that much attention to it? >> we were going to hop on the neighbor's roof we saw that collapse. we saw that the cars sticking through from the second floor

down to the first floor. >> todd: first responders rescuing six garage workers. officials do not believe anyone else is still inside. take a look at this. new york fire chief john esposito says the department actually used a robot dog and drones to conduct a search inside the unstable structure. but even the digy dog was unable to access parts of the building. initial findings suggest the garage buckled on the weight of the garage parked on the roof combined with the age of the building. a private company will actually tear down this garage in the coming days. but, as you can tell from this us being so far away, it's still a pretty active scene and like they said they don't want us anywhere near this building for fear of what could happen next. bark to you. >> brian: they have four open violations right now with the new york city department of buildings. so, that's not going to help their case if they don't want to get sued. >> that's a great point, brian. and what is so interesting about that, it seems any time we hear a story like a collapse, like a

scaffolding violation or something like that. there always is one of these violations. if not more of these violations. and it really does beg the question, as you and i are walking the streets of new york, how many other buildings have violations that just haven't collapsed yet? >> steve: no kidding. and it's great that they were able to use those $75,000 robot dogs, the digy dogs as you called them. to go in there to figure out if there was anybody still left alive. lasted for 7 to 10 minutes. 79 section. you understand why they thought it was an earthquake but obviously something much different. >> we will stand by to figure out what happened. >> rachel: remarkable not more people were killed in that it really is. i cannot imagine. >> steve: thank you, todd. meanwhile a shift to washington washington, d.c.

alejandro mayorkas is set to testify before house lawmakers today about the biden administration's 2024 budget proposal. >> brian: this just one day after senate republicans called him out, accusing mayorkas of neglecting his duties. failing to secure the southern border. you think? >> rachel: lucas tomlinson joins us live from washington, d.c. lucas, good morning. >> good morning, steve, rachel and brian. busy day for kansas city roger marshall on the same day report was released saying two lab leaks from china responsible for the covid pandemic. he also found time to blast president biden's dhs chief. >> mr. secretary our borders are not under control. mr. secretary, you are derelict in your duties. i would be derelict to not do something about this. and that's why i have a draft resolution here that i intend to introduce in the coming days that would require the senate to take a vote of no confidence on secretary mayorkas. >> missouri senator josh hawley and mayorkas sparred over child

labor which hawley blames on the biden administration's policies. >> kid after kid, child after child, one 1-year-old forced to wash hotel sheets in virginia. kids running milking machines rather in vermont. delivering meals in new york city. scrubbing dishes late at night. all in violation of our country's laws. alfa sill at a timed by your policies. you are taking children from another country and putting them into indentured servitude. >> kyrsten sinema who ran the boston marathon mocked after running away from the democratic party and declaring hellerself an independent weigh nnchtsd put arizona communities and our national security at risk. with the title 42 termination imminent, i remain concerned that dhs is not ready. this is the same sentiment that i expressed at this same hearing last year. and, unfortunately, no action has been taken between now and

then to change my opinion. >> the administration will not? some republicans want to see mayorkas impeached. a cabinet secretary has not been impeached since 1876. bill knap threw lavish parties and it dressed his first and second wife in expensive clothing. >> steve: thank you for the trivia on that. lucas was talking about how republicans were angry with the current administration and how they are be adults who become sponsors for these migrant children'ed "new york times" in february estimate that two thirds of unaccompanied kids end up working full time. think about that. you see so many kids going across the southern border. and according to these statistics, two thirds of them are going to wind up with full-time jobs even though they might be 8, 9, 10 years old.

>> rachel: so ironic because this is a party, the democratic party, an administration who criticized the last administration because they said oh, they were so cruel to children because they actually wanted to separate the children from the adults to figure out who was actually their parent. and now they are treating these children like they are an assembly line. in fact, they xavier becerra used the words like a ford factory assembly line in that "new york times" article. that's how they are treating. this they are rushing them through because they don't want them collecting at the border and pictures taken. and so they rush them through. but these kids owe money to the cartels. and these groups, basically our country is complicit. not just in child sex trafficking but also in child labor which thanks to the democrat party we have now brought to america. it's absolutely unbelievable. can i just say one more thing? katie porter, a democrat, this is what she said. she said we need to hold corporate america responsible. notice how she is trying to exonerate -- listen, some of these kids are working at

general mills and other places so it's wrong. cleaning the slaughter houses. but, remember, this is the democrat party that is complicit with the cartels in this. >> brian: they had the d.n.a. kits down at the border. when the separation policy was ill thought out senator sessions idea. and they d.n.a. kits. we're not going to separate. we are going to find out right now. are you related to you? and all they had to do after a while was hold a swab. okay i'm not. they would throw up their hands. that was one way to separate them. the first way didn't work. that was a short period of time. what does this administration do per fentanyled by. blame the previous administration for everything. donald trump's policies separation from families we spent all our time trying to reconsolidate families. listen, that was over the course of one month. that even the first lady was against. it was quickly corrected and done. what is happening right now it shows mayorkas is totally incompetent and incapable. it also shows that he had lying

under oath also shows this situation is about to go exponentially worse because of title 42 going away no plan in place don't let anyone kid you when they say we are having people apply for citizenship for countries on the app. we are still flying them here. on the app. get to come in here anyway. this thing is going to explode and where does the president reflecting on his trip to ireland. >> rachel: part of why those kids have to work is they owe money to the cartels. they have to pay back like, you know. >> and that's why yesterday, the director of the office of refugee resettlement was on the hot seat and essentially what she said was she said that her office was obligated to release the kids to sponsors without delay. so they got to get them through the system. the assembly line as quick as possible. and, unfortunately, as we have seen some of the sponsors are unscrupulous and, you know, next

stop they are work tag sweat shop some place. and this administration is making it easier for those unscrupulous sponsors to do just that. >> brian: they are not beverly hills university. beverly hills high school. they are putting them in the working class sections. put them in there where people already have four or five kids become part of the system. got school system and get paid for that using it as extra income. some of the kids they flat out lost track of. disappeared let alone the ones they are tracking. >> rachel: 40% have disappeared. they are not just complicit because they opened the border. remember, our government is paying the last leg of that trip once they get here we pay the ones who made the promise. we pay that last leg of the trip including with children who we have lost track of, falling into child labor, falling into sex trafficking. it's outrageous. >> steve: victims on both sides.

fentanyl victims on this side and these children who are being essentially trafficked into this country to simply go to work in a factory in some cases. that should infuriate people from both parties. >> brian: let's talk about the nfl in a feel-good story. damar hamlin captured everyone's attention when he took a hit to the chest and fell to his back and stopped breathing. he was immediately given cpr. stopped beating again when he got to the hospital. at which time he was slowly able to breathe. went from a ventilator to walk on his own. appear at the super bowl on his own. be able to speak and wave to the crowd. now we hear this. he is going to play football again. what happened to him is something called can a knoweddial cordis. it happens a lot in youth sports usually kids 12 to 18 # lacrosse first time i heard it. happened to a family and a young player.

a goalie out on long island where he took a ball right to the chest. something about where your heart is beating and releasing. >> steve: the cycle. >> brian: when it goes and when a ball hits the exact right time, it's the exact wrong time for the person unless they get immediately c.p.r. unless they have that -- >> steve: defibrillator. >> brian: defibrillator on hand you do not surprise. ains. >> rachel: he got hit with a ball in the chest. >> brian: hit with a helmet. that's what they say that night. a lot of he heart surges say ths is what i thought happened. >> i died on national tv in front. world. diagnose sills of what happened to me was basica basic commotio. direct blow at a specific point in your heart beat that causes cardiac arrest. 5 to 7 seconds later you fall out. that's what everyone seen

january 2nd of thisee. commotio cordis is the leading cause of death in youth athletes across all sports something i will personally be taking a step in to make a change. this event was life changing but it's not the end of my story. so i'm here to announce that i plan on making a comeback to the nfl. my heart is still in it. you know, my heart is still in the game. i love the game. it's something that i want to prove to myself, not nobody else. you know. it's just -- i just want to show people that fear is a choice. that you know, you can keep going in something without having the answers and without knowing what's at the end of the tunnel or, you know, you might feel anxious. you might feel any type of way, you know, but you just keep putting that right foot in front of the left one and you keep going. >> steve: he got such good care immediately and is now going to be running back. hamlin's marketing rep a fellow by the name of jordan rooney who

slammed everybody in the early hours and other days to speculated about other causes of his cardiac arrest. he said there were outrageous theories the talk about the vaccine being the cause and accusations around him hiding things completely untrue and slanderous. he said imagine dying on national tv and having thousands of people questioning your death and how your. >> brian: just had an explanation for it there would be no problem. they left did to everybody else. >> rachel: added suspicion by not getting to the point of it by the way. there have been a lot of athletes that have died of cardiac arrest and a lot of suspicion about the vaccine because they keep lying to us about it. i think people jumping to that conclusion is natural. >> brian: told us six months ago what they thought it was would have been no problem. speculated by heart surgeries we had on here. in fact, i had the family on the saturday show their son died in the goal. he was the first one known to have that in youth sports. he took a lacrosse shot to the chest. and they made a foundation about this. so hopefully these two hook up.

they are both new york families. >> rachel: hopefully the government will stop lying about things and we can all start trusting public health and safety again. >> steve: good news is he is heading back to the football field. >> rachel: i am happy for him. >> steve: he is going to be a role model using hemorrhage case to save lives. >> rachel: absolutely. >> steve: it is 7:16 now here in the east. and ashley joins us with news from down south. be a ash yes, good morning, guys. start with a fox news alert. a florida police officer is in critical condition after being shot in a jacksonville hospital parking lot last night. now, police were responding to reports of a suspicious driver when they say a gunman fired at a police car before crashing trying to escape. when officers approached the crashed car, the suspect fired again, hitting the officer in the face. officers then returned fire killing that suspect. a device detective noneating outside the university of picture during an on campus protest. officials say no one was hurt. the explosive was reportedly a

combination of fireworks and a smoke bomb. more than 250 demonstrators were protesting a debate on trans issues set to include conservative commentator michael knowles. video from the protest shows activists burning a man can with knowles face on it. the school's lgbtq task force had released a list of demands leading up to that demonstration. a new report revealing americans are spending more money on legal marijuana than chocolate. according to cannabis website mj biz daily americans spent $30 billion on legal marijuana in 2022 that's nearly twice as much as what they spent on chocolate with $18.2 billion going to the sweet stuff. guys, i'm sticking to chocolate. >> rachel: me too. >> ashley: no offense to anyone on mg biz. >> rachel: a lot of people on weed and just checked out of life. but it's easier to lie to people when you are high. >> ashley: i didn't realize so many people were doing that. >> brian: we have to pick you up. get you prozac between ai and

weed you have never been so down. what's going on? >> rachel: i will have to go to my office where i do have dark chocolate. >> brian: b 12 shot. a human b 12 shot do you know who it is? >> rachel: who? >> brian: lawrence jones. having breakfast with friends live from camps 1015 campaign in oklahoma city. >> steve: standing ovation. >> lawrence: "fox & friends" in oklahoma. did you know 52% of the states identify as republican, so many people say it's a republican strong hold talking with them who is their candidate. [chanting] is on central time, family. thank you all so much. steve, you asked me earlier in the show why do they call it 1910? let me tell you the story.

so, originally, it was a grocery store. you see that grocery store right here? and for the 100th anniversary, this gentleman right here, who is the grandson of the founder decided to create this restaurant, sir. what made you do that? >> i wanted to honor and preserve my grandfather and his brother's legacy. the building is on the national register of historic places. will the original grocery store and i thought it was worth preserving. we wanted to do something different and this is what we did. >> lawrence: you have delicious food here. i'm going to try the biscuits and gravy as you can see guys, my motto, after i toss it back to you guys in new york. >> steve: that is a lovely cream sauce. lovely gravy. >> rachel: steve called it by the way. i wonder what lawrence will have and steve said biscuits and gravy. >> steve: i feel there could be a bacon coming up. >> lawrence: history lesson. >> brian: lawrence does something else i'm in awe of. he knows how to gress casual.

it's easy to dress down and up. the middle is the hardest. >> steve: i think it's harder to dress up. >> brian: really? >> brian: i have my butler just lay out my outfit. >> rachel: must be nice. >> steve: leisure. >> leisure suit those were the days put your collar outside. >> rachel: i want to meet your butler. >> brian: is he a really nice guy. governor ron desantis heads to d.c. meeting with g.o.p. lawmakers as 2024 speculation grows. congressman chip roy was in the room dash dash he is next, exclamation point. >> steve: plus, if you share passwords on netflix, you may be in luck for now. the streaming giant's latest now. on the dreaded crack down on password sharing straight ahead on "fox & friends." ♪ i made it through the darkest of the night ♪ and now i feel so right ♪ i feel glorious, glorious

i remember it well. this time i'm supporting ron desantis. i will support the republican nominee no matter what. i'm a strong supporter of the america first agenda. look, i put out in my statement, i think it's time to have someone who is not a baby boomer. somebody who can serve for two terms that we know you get behind to root out all the corruption in this town and beet the swamp that president trump so ably started when he came n 2016. look, governor desantis has enormously successful record. and he just won re-election by a million and a half votes. he won 62% of hispanic voters. 50% of single females. they have massive job growth. great economy. he has taken on the education establishment. he has taken on the corporate establishment w with disney. i just think it's time that we have someone that we can take a new generation into town and we can kind of build on what president trump started and governor desantis is a great guy to get behind to do that. >> rachel: all right. thanks for sharing your explanation. let's move to another topic which is the debt ceiling.

congressman, you served with my husband sean. i was telephone our producers that i recently saw an old speech of sean's where he was maybe five, six years ago complaining about $15 trillion of debt. we are now at 31 trillion. talk to me about why this is a national security problem at this point. >> well, look. i mean, we are seeing right now the implications of having this much debt. interest rate is piling up around us as you interest rates go up. interest rates are going to surpass what we spend on national defense. the dollar is now in question. china is trying to do deals with brazil. we have obligation to stop spending money we don't have. that's why republicans are putting forward a strong plan that would limit spending simply to 2022 levels which would take us to precovid defense. pull it back so we can undo the bureaucracy that grew up under covid. simply make sure we return this town to common sense focus on

what it is supposed to do and then save 3 trillion to $4 trillion over a decade. we can also undo a lot of the regular glory state propped under under biden under the so-called inflation reduction act which even goldman sachs says would cost $1.2 trillion. we want to help hard-working blue collar americans. people waking up every day trying to do their job. not rich white liberal elitists driving their teslas so they can feel good about themselves and subsidizing them. create wealth and opportunity and create jobs by getting the regulatory state out of the way. stop driving inflation by spending a whole bunch of money racking up debt and making it harder for our kids and grandkids in the future. that's what republicans are fighting to do and we are going to pass something and then the president is going to have to deal with it. >> rachel: yeah. well, it doesn't seem like he has an appetite for cutting spending or to stop printing money. but i appreciate the effort you say you want to shrink washington. so we can grow america. >> amen. >> rachel: i think everybody can get behind that we will see what

happens. thanks for joining us this morning. >> yeme yes, ma'am. >> rachel: god bless you. coming up, dr. robert redfield joins us live as more house testimony is back on the covid lab theory. but, first, lawrence jones is having breakfast with friends in oklahoma city. at camp 1910 1910 kamp cafe. >> i have a question for the folks of oklahoma. who believes that the country is heading down the right path? all right? who believes that we're heading down the wrong path?

students are really who they are and why they are struggling because the backlash is intense. >> lawrence: big issue for young people on campus. >> waiting to see how it turns out. >> lawrence: i want you to talk with other folks because we have an election coming up in '24. what's the number one issue on your mind? >> the border crisis. it needs to be fixed. we need a wall. we need to protect our borders. >> lawrence: who is the best candidate to fix it? >> donald trump. president trump. >> lawrence: brother, what about you, what's the number one issue. >> the economy right now. >> who is the best candidate to fix it? >> i'm undecided right now. >> lawrence: all right, sir what the number one issue. >> economy and the border. >> lawrence: number one person to fix it? >> president trump. >> lawrence: your dad is a truck driver my dad is a truck driver. what's the number one issue facing this country. >> supply chain and trucking industry is the most highly regulated industry we have. and from the compliance side of it from just the challenges, infrastructure, truck drivers are the backbone of our country. without them, we don't have any of this. >> lawrence: here here. who is the best candidate to

remove those barriers? >> donald trump. >> lawrence: all right. do you go is. you hear they are undecided or they love their former president, donald trump. i will send it back to you guys in new york city. >> brian: almost every poll he is up by 20 points in almost every state. >> rachel: he is. >> brian: thanks so much, lawrence, appreciate it. >> rachel: love the a.i. guy job security. don't worry, it's going to all be fine. >> brian: him and elon musk, that's the best group of random people i have ever seen in my life. >> steve: fantastic. >> rachel: great job, lawrence. >> steve: great job indeed. the lab leak theory could soon be confirmed as a former top intel chief makes this admission in d.c. >> a lab leak is the only explanation credibly supported by our intelligence, by science and by common sense. >> rachel: makes sense to me. dr. robert redfield said he was silenced for raising that possibility. he's next. ♪

>> my informed assessment with a person with as much access to anyone with to our government's intelligence during the initial year of the pandemic has been and continues to be that a lab leak is the only explanation credibly supported by our intelligence, by science, and by common sense. >> brian: wow, form everywhere intel chief john ratcliffe claiming a lab leak is the only explanation for covid-19, killed millions. adding the cia analyst kept quiet about the origins to avoid agreeing with former president trump and damaging president biden's relationship with china. it comes as the new senate report suggests there could even have been two lab leaks from wuhan. former cdc director dr. robert redfield watched every minute of the hearings and joins us now. doctor, that really raised eyebrows with me when he was so definitive of saying from what i know and from what i knew when i was totally read in it's the only explanation. do you feel the same way?

>> well, i don't have all of the intelligence he has. but i do have enormous confidence in him. i think the american public ought to pay attention to his testimony. he knows all the intelligence. and if you listen to him, he didn't say low confidence or moderate confidence. he said he has high confidence that this lab leak -- this origin came from the lab. and i think we should give a lot of respect to him and his knowledge base when it comes to intelligence. >> brian: here's what james comer, what he said in asking ratcliffe this question as relates to anthony fauci not coming forward with what he knew. listen. >> did dr. fauci relay any of these concerns to you? may have come from a lab? >> did he not. >> this is so bad it just gets worse every day. these scientists flipped 180 degrees with no new evidence, produced a paper not based on facts, and then may have used that paper to brief the intelligence community and suppressed the lab leak

hypothesis. >> brian: do you find those series of events probable? >> yeah. unfortunately, i think this is really one of the big sadness i have as a scientist is the scientific community led by nih, fauci and collins, really went on a attempt to deflect and i think you heard that in the hearing, deflect anyone talking about the possibility that this could have come from the lab. there were two high pott southeast lab and spillover. both of those should have been addressed transparently and aggressively and very rapidly. i was on the phone with fauci in january to discuss these things and ferrer and tedros, but very rapidly they coalesced around a single narrative. i think it really -- if there was any conspiracy. and i don't like to use that word -- but if there was any conspiracy it was a decision to approach a single narrative that this came from a wet market. and now three years later, we're in the fourth year of the pandemic. we have no further evidence of

wet market as ratcliffe said and we have substantial evidence that this most likely came from the lab. i said in my testimony that science is unfortunately not going to solve this now. it's too late. we could have done it back in 2020 in the winter. it's going to be solved by the intelligence community. ratcliffe gave you a preview of what they know. >> brian: the question is is the administration only going to give the cia would. undecided. the fbi does think differently. anthony fauci last time you came out and said it's a lab leak and you were kept off calls because you didn't feel it was an animal to animal transfer. it's unfortunate. he basically called you a liar. what is your reaction then and what is it now? >> i'm just very disappointed because he is not telling the truth. i think if people want to look historically about fauci and the number of things that he has done, one of the things i think he has had trouble with at times is being -- is telling the truth. there's actually a hearing are rand paul that you can find

where fauci actually admits that he arranged the phone call. >> brian: the phone call everybody was on that left you out. and lastly, real quick, they said because president trump felt one way, the cia would go a different direction. walls there that much tension that you noticed between what trump was saying and what the scientific community was willing to do? >> yeah. i think so. i think you have to realize, yeah, i realized cdc you have to realize much of our government apparatus were nonpolitical careers. many of them, unfortunately, had their own view about president trump. it's very disappointing that the cia would take that position. and i could hear from director ratcliffe, he was quite disappointed that the agency didn't act more objectively and allow their political leanings to get into some of their decision-making. >> brian: thank you for speaking out dr. red field. always like hearing from you. thank you so much.

>> thank you, brian. god bless. >> brian: you too. ashley strohmier has the rest of the news. >> ashley: we do, brian. i'm going to start with this. the kansas city man is released on a $200,000 bail and for shooting a black teenager who mistakenly rang his doorbell. andrew lester surrendered to police yesterday. the 16-year-old named ralph yarl was trying to pick up his brothers from a friend's house when lester allegedly shot him in the head. the teen fell to the ground where police say lester shot him again. yarl is now out of the hospital and is recovering at home. the student's classmates and parents holding rallies demanding justice. block chuck schumer's request to temporarily replace dianne feinstein on the judiciary committee. ranking republican senator lindsey graham objecting to the resolution. the community has been unable to confirm president biden's judicial nominees due to feinstein's absence leaving several house democrats to call for her resignation. it is the end of an era at

instagram, tiktok particularly dangerous for young people i would say. the evidence all shows particularly so for young girls. and the figures that the schools and others are using as evidence of this is quite remarkable. i mean, i think it's 59, 60% of american girls, teenagers, saying they have persistent feelings of hopelessness. >> steve: we have a graphic to that point that we will put up. you are absolutely right. 57% of female high school students say increased sadness and hopelessness. >> almost twice the level of young men. that fitsd a lot of the data and research that's come out in recent years about this that teenage girls are particularly vulnerable to these apps. you know, we know already that teenage girls are particularly vulnerable to, you know, low self-esteem, comparing themselves with others. of course, always body image issues. effect young girls more than they do young boys. not by any means to write out

the issues that young boys have in this country as well. the apps are exacerbating. this most of the evidence shows the idea that the schools are going to have luck in suing. i think that's highly unlikely. >> steve: you are absolutely right. social media is not the real world. but you look at it and oh i wish i was that person because look how great their life is. but it's going to be hard for the schools to prove okay, the reason this is happening, is because of tiktok. >> yeah. the one exception i would say is there are certain social media trends, which the companies might find it impossible to defend in a court. i mean things like there was a blackout challenge on one of the apps a while ago where people were sort of daring their friends to black out. now, that wouldn't have happened without the prevalence of the social media company, the ability to do that across, you know, states, across lines and borders. they might be vulnerable on that. but, on the wider thing, this is just a societal contagion which

parents in america have to be aware of. >> steve: absolutely. don't discount parental approval or disapproval and just say, you know, can you put down the phone just for a little bit? >> for sure. >> steve: douglas murray, always a pleasure. thank you for dropping by the big room today. >> great pleasure. >> steve: all right. coming up on this wednesday. elon musk says a back-up plan may be needed if artificial intelligence becomes too powerful. great. a panel reacts to his exclusive interview with tucker carlson next hour here on "fox & friends." >> it may be wise to have some sort of contingency plan where the government has got an ability to shut down power. ♪ ahhhh... with flonase, allergies don't have to be scary spraying flonase daily gives you long-lasting, non-drowsy relief.
