off to work. this is the 20th day of the fourth month. that's right it is 4:20 day. 4/20 nickname for marijuana. day dedicated to people celebrating smoking and using marijuana. >> ainsley: all those people doing drugs in high school took the day off. you knew who they were when they weren't in class. >> brian: i never heard of it. >> steve: been out there for the long time. the day you hang out with your best buds. just saying. >> ainsley: you do drugs. >> steve: that's another dad joke about weed. >> brian: for the four police officers left in new orleans get to work. that was a bump shot. there is a lot of crime and very little punishment going on in that great city with great sports teams where the people are afraid to park their car and go watch a game. that's how crazy that city is. much like not as bad as -- i would say our city is better per cap attachment definitely got

challenges. crime, huge chicago, san francisco. >> ainsley: talk about the city of boston. >> steve: right. >> ainsley: there was an interesting poll that was taken. they asked people who had voted, 600 people who had voted for president biden in 2020 who they would vote for. and a big chunk of them said they would vote for r.f.k. >> steve: that's right. that particular hotel park plaza hotel was one of his uncle teddy kennedy's favorite spots to go and so he came, r.f.k. jr., who is r.f.k.'s son, and actually brother of fox news journalist doug kennedy, he came from california with his wife cheryl hines, you remember her from ccurb your enthusiasm. he announced is he running for president of the united states. it was a two-hour speech. he touched on his career and big pharma as you would expect. he is anti-vaxxer. he touched on social media

because he has been censored by them. he touched on joe biden and the ukraine situation and he touched on donald trump you and the lockdown during covid. >> ainsley: and china as well. >> brian: he jumps out. biden for the most part in this recent poll 67% of the vote. marion williamson got 5% pretty significant considering she does not have a big political name. robert f. kennedy has 14%. >> ainsley: double digits. >> brian: 13% undecided to me that is a rebuke of president biden. for some reason hasn't made up his mind about running even though he tells people he is running. formal intention was to do it right after the state of the union address. r.f.k. gave his speech. and then he joined tucker at night. one of the things that he sees eye to eye on tucker with, they both don't think we belong in afghanistan. >> i think that the general theme of my speech was this corrupt merger of state and corporate power, which has

gotten turning our country into corporate. socialism for the rich and this cushy socialism for the rich and this kind of brutal merciless capitalism for the poor. last month the united states government told 30 million people cutting their food stamp checks by 90%. it took 15 million people off of medicare. the same month it gave $300 million to the silicon valley bank and tapped up the cost of the ukraine war to 113 billion. we have 57% of american citizens could not put their hands on $1,000 if they have an emergency and we are bailing out the bankers. we are paying for a war that, you know, we can't afford. >> steve: sure. >> brian: ukraine instead of afghanistan i meant to say. >> steve: one of the things about r.f.k. jr. is he is from

probably the most famous political family in america. and that's one of the reasons he went to boston. and there you can see him -- that's in mclean, virginia, back in the day his mother ethel and his father bobby kennedy jr. he grew up as a kennedy. as it turns out, if he is going to run for president, he has some problems inside his own family. because his campaign has actually appalled members of the kennedy family. his sister, carrie kennedy put out a statement and said i love my brother bobby but i do not share or endorse his opinions on many issues, including the covid pandemic, vaccinations and the role of social media platforms in policing false information. but, when you look at, you know, you look at that statistic we put up a little while ago, the poll of people who are going to vote democrat, of the announced people, keep in mind, joe biden has not announced yet, r.f.k. jr. is actually now the number

one frontrunner on the democrat side of those who are declared. now, joe biden. >> brian: over williamson. >> joe biden has not yet declared and people are going what has taken him so long. if you think back to 20 # 19 before the 2020 election, where he faced off eventually with donald trump, joe biden did not get in the race until april 25th and that's next week. so, don't be surprised if joe biden doesn't throw his hat in next week. >> brian: word is the fall. >> ainsley: on the plane coming from air force one from ireland reporter asked him when he was going to make the announcement. he said my plan is to run again. we'll announce relatively soon. the speech yesterday was very interesting. a two-hour speech from r.f.k. jr. and it was a packed crowd. people were actually behind the risers standing and then they had an overflow room if people wanted to go there cheryl hines introduced him, who is hilarious. she was married to larry david

on the show curb your enthusiasm. she was his tv wife. and he said we would have a really funny first lady if i won. he said i told my wife the other day i said i have got so many skeletons in my closet that if they, meaning the skeletons, could vote i could be king of the world. he does have quite an interesting past. but it was kind of refreshing to hear some of the words he said. he said during this campaign and during my administration, my objective will be to makes a many americans as possible forget they are republicans and democrats and remember that they are americans. basically what joe biden said about unifying everyone. he said we have a polarization in this country today that is so toxic and so dangerous at any time since the civil war and part of the principle mission of my campaign and my presidency is going to be to end that division. >> brian: remember, if you watch president biden just stumble his way through ireland, unable to -- and choosing not to make a speech at the end. the first time in almost anyone's memory not to give any joint press conferences.

you see how vulnerable he is people in the democratic party must be saying to themselves how much longer should i stand on the side? keep in mind, too. teddy kennedy did challenge jimmy carter. everyone said jimmy carter so vulnerable. teddy kennedy did have chappaquiddick. r.f.k. jr. also has a voice issue which is going to be an issue because you have got to speak maybe four times a day, five times a day if you actually want to be successful. one person he has in his corner is future jet quarterback aaron rodgers of the packers. he appeared to double down on support for r.f.k. because of their anti-vax attitude. and he did indicate earlier that he would support him. you know who else supports him running? steve bannon. steve bannon says go in there and, you know, stir things up. >> steve: with the ticket. >> brian: i'm not sure. >> ainsley: vote for him? >> brian: no. telling him to run to create

harvick on the left. >> steve: take democrats away from joe biden. >> brian: makes him more amazing. someone nikki haley working so hard raise so much money single digits, mike pence a presumed candidate and others r.f.k. a well-known name not a well-known politician. jumps in and got 14% already. that has got to be disturbing to the biden camp. >> ainsley: he tweeted this out. he said give me 'a sword. i need an army and it can't be just the party. i need democrats, republicans and independence. and then he got the endorsement aaron rodgers his response on twitter he tweeted out an emoji of a sword. >> steve: there you go. >> ainsley: a dot and a sword. do you think that was an accident? >> steve: you used to think you had to put a period before something. i think they changed that. meanwhile on the republican side, ron desantis has been out and about giving a bunch of speeches and stuff like that a

poll a couple weeks ago after donald trump was indicted on 34 felonies. and it showed that donald trump had jumped to a gigantic lead of 57 to 31 over ron desantis. now here we are two weeks later, same poll same advantage over ron desantis is down 10 points in two weeks. mr. trump now has 52%, and mr. desantis has 36. trump went down 5, desantis went up as he starts barn storming talking about general things on if he were running for president, although he is not yet, what he would do. >> brian: he talked about gender identity, sexual orientation and what is going on in obviously public schools and taking on disney. here is governor ron desantis in south carolina. >> we're not going to use your tax dollars to teach kids to hated our country or to hate

each other. we just believe that parents should be able to send their kid to school. have them watch cartoons, just be kids without having some agenda shoved down their throats all the time. and if disney objects to that, so be it. we are going to do what's right. somewhere along the line it became normal that a university is used to impose an ideological agenda, to foment political activism, and to be agents for quote, unquote, social justice. we will be signing legislation within the next six weeks eliminating so-called dei programs from all public universities. [applause] they say it stands for diversity, equity and inclusion. in reality what it is is a trojan horse to impose left wing ideology. >> steve: also, during this, you know, where he has been going out and speaking, he spoke last week to actually a couple of

days ago to the heritage foundation and at the end, he gave a hint of what's coming because he said he was discussing plans for the state budget in florida and he said, quote: once we are done with that things are going to get interesting. and the audience started to laugh because they know that that's when he starts to run for president. >> ainsley: he was hitting several spots in south carolina yesterday. spartanburg upstate near clemens charleston war a lot of people love him in south carolina. >> brian: governor haley and senator scott and right now trump is number one in the most of the polls, in every state poll that i have seen. and governor desantis getting pushed by his donors jump in. it could happen as soon as next week. >> ainsley: when does the session end? >> brian: they said may. there might be pressure on him to jump in next week. he had a meeting with donors the other day getting a little bit nervous. trump is doing so well. i think donald trump has the best team, not to put down 2016

and 2020. this seems to be the best trump team yet. they seem organized and tight and pat summer hall's daughter seems to be doing a fantastic job. big story. >> steve: what does she do? >> brian: she is running the campaign she is a big rival. her and desantis had a big rift. she helped him become governor. they had a huge rift and now she is working hard to make sure he doesn't win the nomination. so it's going to get pretty exciting very soon. mike pompeo out. mime mike pence or maybe tim sc. >> ainsley: it's getting exciting again. we are starting to see people jump into the ring. >> steve: speaking of people in florida. ron desantis, donald trump, and francis suarez the mayor of miami. he has hinted he might actually throw his hat in. and he is coming up very shortly right here on fox. >> ainsley: run? you know him very well. >> brian: they don't speak. desantis and mayor suarez haven't spoken in months. like rick scott and desantis do not get along. it's interesting within the

republican party. >> steve: let's move from florida to the central plain states and a fox weather alert. an estimated 15 tornadoes have ripped through oklahoma touching down at some points overnight. at least two part-time have been killed. and there is a trail of destruction. they are just getting a look at as the sun comes up. >> brian: officials issued warnings for multiple counties as 70 mile-per-hour winds tore off rooftops and downed power lines. >> ainsley: victor park from the fox affiliate in oklahoma city joins us live from kohl oklahoma with the very latest. hey, victor. >> hey, good morning to you, guys. yeah, we have been watching just a lot of the destruction in a part of this oklahoma. it is a rural area named coal and just cole. take a look at this home right here you could see it is a two story home and most of it has

see the tree limbs i'm picking up. this is just the scene for miles and miles. we do have video to show you though that you will see some of those funnel clouds and more destruction. about 40 miles north of us is a city called shawnee. they were hit pretty hard you can see some of that destruction there, too. i mean, this -- there were at least nine tornadoes, confirmed tornadoes that have hit the area just causing so much destruction. we spoke to someone who hid in a pizza shop. take a listen. >> a lot of commotion. people were starting to get a little frantic and i was like, it's okay. calm down. there's 3 feet of concrete. we are good. this is the safest place to be on the block. and then it got, like he said, really loud and really crazy. >> yeah. meanwhile, they have also been hit by a lot of hail and more bad weather is expected to come

through this area. certainly a problem for the recovery efforts underway. i will send it back to you guys. >> steve: all right. victor, thanks for the live report from oklahoma whereas i said a moment ago as soon as the sun comes up they will have a pretty good idea of what happened last night. >> brian: ashley, you have the latest breaking news? >> ashley: i do, guys. start with a crime crisis. a new york city woman brutally attacked on the subway is speaking out. she is ripping congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez for slamming the city's mayor for approving raises for the nypd. she says if we had more police officers, career criminals like the one who attacked her would be locked up. >> this guy was supposed to be locked up a long time. he shouldn't have been walking the street at all with all the felonies and cases he had behind him. so i mean the only thing i was really thinking about honestly was just somebody helping me. you know, once anybody feels in danger any kind of way you wouldn't want to go. you want to fix all these communities, places like pools and parks. but how would people want to go

if there is no safety. i believe safety comes with police officers. and once there is police officers, then people will feel more realistic to go places. they wouldn't feel scared to go to school. they wouldn't be scared to go to a public pool. wouldn't be scared going to a train station just going to work, you know? there is times and place for everything. once you put safety first, everything else will go right after it. >> ashley: she lost her eye from that brutal attack. she says if ocasio-cortez cared about safety she would be happy this money is going to officers. >> protesters marching through the states of paris call for pension reforms that raised the retirement age 62 to 64. that crowd furious at french president emmanuel macron for signing the reforms into law yesterday. many in france are calling for his resignation. the unionist and railway workers are calling for walkouts are expected to continue demonstrating through the week. pennsylvania senator john fetterman is back on capitol hill and there is already a lot of concern about his ability to

serve. it was after opening remarks he delivered at a hearing yesterday. watch. >> call this hearing of the u.s. senate subcommittee and food americans like about corey from the now -- town of northeast in pennsylvania. i look forward to hearing from you, your witness -- >> this was his first speech since he was released from walter reed medical center where he received six weeks of treatment for clinical depression. fetterman suffered a stroke while on the campaign trail last year. and those are some of your headlines, guys. >> steve: he was struggling. >> ashley: yes. >> steve: thank you very much. >> brian: at least he dressed up for that that was nice of him. 19 minutes after the hour. still ahead. real answers on the disastrous classified document leak. house intel committee chairman mike turner is launching the investigation. he joins us live. >> ainsley: plus, welcome to miami with the city being named top in the nation for tech

♪ >> brian: so back in 2021, miami mayor francis suarez famously put up a billboard in san francisco posting his twitter accounts urging bay area to dm him. paid off. new survey names miami the number one city for gen z tech workers. miami mayor francis suarez joins us now. you have had a heck of a success record so far. characterize first off your approach when it comes to crime

and punishment. >> well, our approach to building our city is one that i think every american city should adopt which we have kept taxes low. we lowered taxes to the lowest level in history and sought unprecedented growth. in terms of our investment we invested in public safety. we never got into this defund police nonsense. we never got into no cash bail nonsense and drew a line in the sand said you cannot hurt people. you cannot hurt people's property. we will hold you accountable. last year we had the lowest per capita homicide rate since 1964. and this year more than three months into the year we are 50% below that number. and then third, you know, we need innovation. we want to make sure in a hyper disruptive and dynamic world that we are leading the way in new technologies to create opportunities for people to be successful. that's why we are ranked number one in, you know, gen zers coming to miami. number one in tech job growth.

number one in wage growth and number one in direct foreign investment. 1.5 unemployment rate. >> brian: people look as how you have helped miami to become this booming tech capital. how you have attracted people to miami the silicon valley companies that don't like the fact that crime has run rampant, homeless everywhere and taxes through the roof. they are looking at you as a republican, hit-and-run republican having success and i know. they are saying this guy could run for president. how close are you to making that decision? close to make a decision all 20th is the first debate i think any candidate runs for president needs to be on that stage have to give kudos to ronna mcdaniels i was in nashville last weekend for the republican republican party convention doing a tremendous job having

people have diverse smattering of candidates on that stage and creating a competitive primary which i think is important for the party. i think, you know, i got a chance to see the former president speak. got a chance to he soot former vice president speak. governor sununu and others. we have incredibly talented beach. significantly more talented than the democrats. and in joe biden's america, when you contrast to francis suarez's miami, it couldn't be any more different. rampant inflation. you see rising interest rates. fentanyl crisis. homelessness. >> brian: right. >> crime. >> brian: that's the theme in nashville. i get it. but, for you to run, there has got to be a lane. how are you different than ron desantis who i understand you haven't really spoke to since january. you guys don't have a good relationship. right? he seems to struggle with relationships generally. i mean, i look people in the eye when i shake their hands. had you mentioned earlier in the program he doesn't get along with the governor. he has had a real struggle with the florida congressional delegation. most of which are supporting the

former president. there was an article last night that talked about the fact that he wasn't even calling people personally that his fundraiser was the one or his, i think pollster was the one that was calling congressional leaders for support. i'm comfortable being a retail politician. and comfortable talking to people. i came back from new hampshire. before that i was in south carolina and iowa and nevada. these are states that are approximately the size of miami-dade county. you have to be comfortable. >> brian: you don't think one-on-one politician. if you feel as though you are a better politician than the governor. how are you better than the former president? >> well, i think you have to be able to connect with people. i think in terms of the former president, i really believe in generational leadership. and i don't mean that as a buzz word. i think a lot of candidates are throwing that around as a buzz word. you get a 30 to 40 year improvement in a public official i saw in miami.

and it's important when you have this hyper competitive landscape where china and the middle east is rising and china is becoming a greater and greater threat. and you have technologies like artificial intelligence. quantum computing, they are going to define the next generation. we need public officials that understand these technologies. understand how to take advantage of these opportunities and also how to regulate them for our country's benefit. >> brian: all right. you are doing everything that sounds like somebody that is going to be running. best of luck with your decision. hope you come back here and make it. thanks so much, mr. mayor. >> thank you, brian. >> brian: all right. mayor suarez, up and coming politician, whether he runs or not. still ahead, from trash collecting to harvard law school. how this former sanitation worker is giving back. ♪ ♪

u.s. intel and how a 21-year-old air national guardsman was able to access all of these documents. >> steve: yeah, it's a head-scamper. head-scratcher. demanding access to all the information related to the leaker. >> brian: all right. g.o.p. congressman mike turner chairs the house intel committee. congressman, we have so many questions. i could not believe the frustration on both sides of the aisle after they were briefed yesterday. how do you expect to breakthrough today? >> well, what's really important is for us to get to the facts about this. it's very clear that the department of defense was not doing what it was supposed to do. even in monitoring access to classified documents. the criminal complaint itself indicates that they knew or they could track where this individual was going. and even so, that they failed to follow up on it. and the other aspect that we learned yesterday, which there is bipartisan outrage for, is really the extent of which clear and clearance investigations are not conducted that would

discover the type of life pattern that this individual had and affect their clearance. >> steve: i know you are going to have a retreat with a bunch of people from the intel community starting tomorrow and get a bunch of answers. breaking story today we wanted to pick your brain on. apparently there is an irs agent, a special agent, a criminal supervisory special agent. he is asking for whistleblower protections because he has got information, according to his lawyer, he has got information that would contradict sworn testimony to congress by a senior political appointee about hunter biden. and his taxes. and it sounds like. remember like in october it sounded like the fbi was going to indict him and went nowhere. this guy knows everything with you he needs you guys to protect him. >> right, steve. this is very troubling. comes on the follow-onto the biden campaign having used former members of the community.

getting information that the biden administration may be thwarting the follow-on investigation into hunter and the biden family finances. chairman comer of oversight has openly said that he is going to pursue this and that this would be on destruction of justice. there is not merely discretion to the biden administration whether or not they pursue these crimes. this would be obstruction of justice and certainly pursued right here in congress. >> ainsley: why do you think robert hoops, biden appointee, crisis communications expert with very close ties to hunter biden he visited more than 30 times when biden was vice president. why? >> these are questions we have to get to the bottom of chairman comer done a great job and releasing ties of the finances of the hunter biden and the biden family there is a lot to follow here. in the end we will find

questionable transactions and certainly questionable activities. >> brian: chairman, how many democrats have expressed to you on or off the record the frustration of the candidness of this administration? we are seeing a lot of breaks from senator warner to blumenthal i'm wondering if you are getting it if democrats expressed that same frustration. you might actually get answers. >> steve, you are absolutely right. it's not just bipartisan. it's bicameral up here on capitol hill. people are pretty outraged at the lack of cooperation that they're getting from the administration. whether it be the classified documents behind biden's corvette, mar-a-lago, pence, the obstruction that's happening there in our investigations whether it's hunter biden across the table this administration is not being forthcoming. >> steve: well, you have been very cooperative, thank you very much, mike turner for showing up today and. >> ainsley: and answering our questions. >> thank you. take care. >> steve: you too. still ahead on this thursday dr. nicole saphier and her son hudson in the studio have
