but maybe what we should do is start talking about removing and using a special tactic called the holman rule to remove him from office. >> the meeting is scheduled for 9:00 a.m. if the panel votes to measure full house. certainly something to watch. congressman, we have to leave it there. thank you so much for joining us. "fox & friends" starts right now. >> i intend to seek the republican nomination for president of the united states. >> former new jersey governor chris christie joins an already crowded field. >> mike pence is set to announce his campaign bid. >> when i got time to announce, i'm announcing in iowa. >> questions and concerns about biden's age and stamina continue to mount. >> you heard from both right maga emphasize president's capability. things happen. other presidents have had similar situations. >> their candidates getting. >> one of the worst fire seasons on record. >> as far as south as tennessee.

biological males. >> lia thomas u penn teammates scared to speak out. >> i will not be scared anymore. other women should be encouraged to speak out about unfair competition. >> have you ever had to apologize being a member of the will pga tour? >> i recognize people are going to call me a hypocrite but circumstances do change. >> steve: good morning, everybody. it is june 7th. it's 6:01 here in new york city. and we start with a fox news alert. you are looking at a video of former vice president mike pence who officially launched his 2024 presidential campaign by launching this video 25 minutes ago. here is 10 seconds of it. >> it would be easy to stay on the sidelines, but that's not how i was raised. today, before god and my family, i'm announcing i'm running for

president of the united states. >> ainsley: pence rolling out that clip this morning on his 64th birthday. just two days after filing paperwork with the fec. he is set to hold a big event today in des moines, iowa after spending last weekend campaigning in the hawkeye state. >> brian: is he a little young to be running, but we will see. >> ainsley: comparatively. >> pence. >> ainsley: past his prime though. >> brian: i wish i could find don lemon but he is busy at this hour not anymore i guess is he sleeping. includes his former boss president donald trump. tim scott. florida governor ron desantis and former new jersey governor chris christie who just launched his campaign yesterday. it was a two-hour ad-libbed address. gave us a sense of history. why he is in it, admitted he made mistakes in the past, maybe not running before getting in 2012 when everyone was urging him to do it. enough to is he in and knows

exactly who he is aiming for. donald trump. >> ainsley: he blamed the division in the country on obama and on trump. he took jabs at trump. he said he is the leader who won't admit any of his shortcomings. reared to him as you have der ir mort. >> he was the commissioner of the opioid crisis. and trump put him in that big position. then they had this falling out after the election and now he has become one of his most vocal critics. >> brian absolutely right two hour town hall reminiscent of back when he was governor. keep in mind chris christie was a republican governor in a very blue state of new jersey. and back in the day he became. long before youtube became popular, chris christie would do town halls throughout new jersey where he would battle people from the teachers unions and those videos went viral. he is famous for that he is famous for his hurricane sandy response as well.

he has heard as he has launched this campaign just about seven years after he ended his first campaign for president. he has heard people say hey, you know what? he is just out to take out donald trump. he's a kamikaze candidate, essentially. and that's one of the things mrt night in manchester. >> i have seen some of the press coverage of me getting ready to run. and christie doesn't really care about winning. all he cares about doing is destroying trump. now, let me ask you something. how are those two things mutually exclusive? if i came out here and railroad for 15, 20 minutes about nikki haley you would all leave going is he nuts? [laughter] hasn't he like read the papers? doesn't he know trump is leading? there is one lane to the republican nomination. and is he in front of it. and if you want to win, you better go right through him. because, let me guarantee you something for knowing him for 22 years, everybody. he is going to try to go through

me. and is he going to try go through ron and nikki and tim and anybody else who stands in his way. and you've watched this show. i mean, to me sounds like reruns now. this is like watching seinfeld. >> brian: so comfortable on his feet. very good. >> steve: no notes. >> brian: yeah, no notes. he ran through the history. his big thing we got to go big not small. if you ever see chris christie like at a met game. is he a huge sports game. also on the mets board. asked to be on the mets board some of the serves there. he is going there all the time. very comfortable in hostile territory. go a yankee game. doesn't matter. he actually knows where he is going. who he is. and you are not going to get him on any issue. he has that prosecutor background. he is very good in inbe gauging in argument. he also as a new jersey governor doesn't mind trying to win over democrats and has that in the past. but he needs 40,000 individual donors. and one percent in the polls to be eligible for the debates.

and if donald trump doesn't go to the debate in august, chris christie is one of the people who might be the hurt the most. >> steve: he certainly would be able to distinguish himself and last night bret baier being took like 20 minutes of that speech you see the town hall at saint anselm college. he was talking a little bit how america has gotten smaller. people have become more siloed and more divided. he did do the point-by-point takedown of the former president. and the promises that he made and never kept. he did not repeal and replace obamacare. he, you know, he did not build the entire wall. mexico did not pay for it. and he went on and on. last night he weighs the topic of sean hannity's conversation stephen a. smith. sean starts it my staff tells me you are friends with chris christie you don't want him for

president, do you? he said i would rather have him than donald trump. he said the democrats are you the atly embarrassing and hannity said i don't think is he a conservative to which stephen a. smith said this j. >> campaign for chris christie or admission. lynch, the bottom line he is certainly not a liberal. the bottom line is this: when you look at him and i think that you know he is competent and, more importantly, is he going to be talking about issues as opposed to are having us distracted with a whole bunch of nonsense that we don't need to be distracted with as a country. that's all i'm saying. whether he wins or not it's a long shot. i would tell you this much i would vote for him before i would vote for any of the democratic candidates i have seen. i'm looking at him and i don't like what i see. i'm not impressed with what i see. i have been very concerned with what i see. the fact that he is going to be 82 years of age at election time if he were to win the election and he would be in the white house until he is 86 years old,

i think in the year 2023 it is utterly embarrassing that the liberal side has him as their best candidate. what does it say about you when that is the best candidate that you can give the left? that is ridiculous. that's not a knock against joe biden. more than it's an indictment against the democratic party. >> ainsley: why would they pick biden and want him at his age to go florida. >> like nikki haley said if they get him in office and he decides later on that he doesn't want to be president anymore or wants to step down, i'm tired, then kamala harris gets in and she could win for another eight years. let's say he leaves after serving for one more year she could serve what would that be 8, 9, 10, 11 years. she could be president. >> brian: we would have no country left.

he accuses the candidates of not being able to take on the field directly. i think that desantis is actually doing that because they started to throw jabs at one another but stephen a. smith said i don't think is he going to be pushed around by the former president. i think chris christie knows what he is talking about. is he highly intelligent and highly accomplished. sean hannity said if he is so intelligent why did he leave office with 1% approval rating and he gotten caught in some controversies, lounging on the beach when he closed that public beach. error, there was bridge gate. we will see. i don't know is he strong. always interesting. you turn up your tv or definitely want to hear what he has to say. >> steve: good talk last night. >> ainsley: can he pull through? can he beat donald trump in the numbers don't show that. >> brian: trump has been pretty steady. he has this great team around him so far out of the three teams this is the one most comfortable with.

picking spots. they knew hot number one guy was. they put $30 million on hurting governor desantis before he got in the race. i think it was effective. we will sigh if desantis can start closing that gap announced see if trump now says to himself i'm up by 30 here and up by 40 in new hampshire. south carolina even with two other south carolina officials there i'm still leading. do i need to debate? do i need to go to like events like joni ernst events in iowa with all the other candidates? i have to show everybody that i'm above it. and prove that i'm better. just a quick word about r.f.k. jr. i give him so much credit for at least addressing an issue the country cares about and that's the border. not telling two weeks ahead of time like the president did, going to el paso. see you at noon. instead he showed up at 2:00 in the morning at the border. he said you are not going to believe what i saw. and that's exactly our point we have reports it's

uncompleeivelly out of control if see it if you want to solve it. they don't want to solve it. r.f.k. jr. who has 20% of the vote wants to solve it. if i'm an ambitious democrat who believes i should lead the country, this is your moment to step up. >> ainsley: he said biden should have closed the borders among the border crisis. >> steve: we have great video we will show you at the top of the 7:00 hour. brian, your point about the polls where donald trump is way ahead, axios has a story that shows desantis is within 10 or 14 point of trump in iowa. the more people of iowa see ron desantis, it looks like things are changing. >> ainsley: going to every county. >> steve: it is so early. tomorrow on this program, we will have mike pence who will be 64 years old and one day old. we will have chris christie, the governor of north dakota who is also going to announce he is

running for president. doug burgum. >> ainsley: thursday lineup excellent lineup. >> brian: said a second alarm clock. don't sleep on north dakota's governor even if he doesn't win. what a biohe has. self-made star super star success buy and sell almost everybody in this race. >> steve: made a lot of money with software and pushing green energy not to the exclusion of fossil fuels. fossil fuels are important for us right now. trying to get as much of the other stuff working as possible. >> ainsley: well, you are looking at a live look outside hazy new york city. >> brian: thanks, canada. >> ainsley: there is an air quality alert today. janice dean has what you need to know before stepping outside. >> all right. plus, i still can't get over. this pro-golf partnership in the pga tour reaches an agreement with liv golf. it shocks the sports world. what about the pga players who turned down hundreds of millions

of dollars to be loyal to the pga. >> ainsley: 750 million for tiger. >> brian: i would have played on that elm too. we will find out about that. oh, i like that song. do you want to make it louder ♪ on the couch right now ♪ with someone new ♪ i'm going to need some whiskey glasses ♪ if i'm going to make it through ♪ phil: excuse me? hillary: that wasn't me. narrator: said hillary, who's only taken 347 steps today. hillary: i cycled here. narrator: speaking of cycles, mary's period is due to start in three days. mary: how do they know so much about us? narrator: your all sharing health data without realizing it. that's how i know about kevin's rash. who's next? wait... what's that in your hand? no, no, stop! oh you're no fun.

charges could be warranted. martha stuart says america will go down the drain if remote work is allowed to continue. in an interview this week, the 81-year-old star says quote you can't possibly get everything done working three days a week in the office and two remotely. should america go down the drain because people don't want to go back to work. stuart pointing to france which is dealing with massive protests over pen i think she makes a good point. >> ainsley: such a hard worker. she has always been a hard worker. >> steve: her whole life. >> carley: want to collect a paycheck get your rear in the office. >> ainsley: if you want to be as successful as she is you have got to work very hard. >> carley: bingo. >> steve: this is what everybody is talking about here in new york city. are fox weather wild wire alert. take a look at the picture.

that is new york city right now. the skyline live where thick smoke from dozens actually hundreds of wildfires are burning across canada is clogging the skies across the eastern united states. the air quality index here in the big capital ranked the first on planet earth. >> brian: check out this footage from last night at yankee stadium. i thought they actually were thinking about calling it. it is unhealthy. it's a thick haze over the bronx. not fog but dangerous. thanks, canada. making for an unhealthy situation. we don't do this to them. the situation with players and fans. >> ainsley: look at niagara falls. we have a a live look at that right now canadian border. the smoke is expected to stick around for a few more days. a total of 7 states issuing air quality alerts. >> brian: great time to sneak across the border you can't see you. >> ainsley: janice, you are from canada, you know about this. what started all these fires?

>> janice: we just have a really broad area of high pressure that has been anchored across canada and that has led hardly rain in any of these states. parts of eastern canada. that's impacting them and then very warm temperatures fueling those fires extending from the west coast all the way to the east coast. this an historic wildfire season for folks in canada. typically this time of year about 300,000 acres burning. we have over 6 million acres burning. this is a huge topic, obviously, in canada and people are urged to stay inside. we are getting the poor air quality alerts down towards the northeast. if we could take a look at the maps and i will show you what we are talking about. so 58 right now. again, that's not showing the smoke. we have this area of low pressure across new england, and that's helping those counterclockwise winds funnel that smoke into all of these big cities. millions of folks impacted today, tomorrow, the weekend looks a little bit better as that area of low pressure moves offshore.

so we will continue to watch that fox weather.com by the way. this is their lead story. of course, people were talking about this in the northeast and today is going to be equally as bad. people are respiratory issues need to take precautions, elderly, kids, make sure they are safe. all right, steve, ainsley, brian. over to you. >> brian: i hate the term stay indoors we have heard that enough but that's what they are saying in new york. >> steve: they turned on the air conditioner in big studio m about 15 minutes ago. first time i actually smelled the smoke. can i smell it sitting on the couch right now. >> ainsley: can you really? >> steve: yep. >> ainsley: i can't smell it right now. i lost my smell during covid and i never got it back 100 percent. people were coming out of building last night and saying what in the world? >> steve: it's crazy. >> brian: thanks, quebec. can you smell the money in the liv tour created by a saudi wealth fund that took some of the biggest names in golf who got huge paydays to jump ship from the pga tour to the liv

tour. cammeron reed, patrick smith. phil mickelson said i will take the money i will go liv. i want to wear shorts. i want to hear the music. i don't want to be had on a tour that has cuts after two days. and that was some of the attraction along with big paydays. the bad parted about liv no one was watching. few people were going there, and so far it wasn't making money, but it was attracting a lot of good golfers away from the pga. they were playing in the majors like brooks kept can a and making a huge impact. did you go to the tour and skills erode not really. over the last seven weeks a series of meetings that brought us to this huge announcement yesterday. >> steve: right. of the partnership it. had been brokered behind the scenes by the saudis and by the pga commissioner jay monahan. now, here's the thing about jay monahan, the guy who runs the league. he has constant bely preached last couple of years about how pga is run by its players.

yet, they kept the players completely in the dark. and do you know who else was in the dark? the ceo of liv golf. the outspoken greg nor man was not told until the saudis went on tv. literally two minutes before they went on to announce this partnership, greg norman got a phone call hey, by the way, it's essentially a merger. it's a mart partnership deal. people are shocked. >> ainsley: i feel sorry for the roy mcilroys or tiger woods who decided to be loyal to the pga tour. for giving them a shot all those years ago. for giving them a paycheck for allowing them to win these tournaments. they stuck by each other, it appears. now for jay monahan to do this many feel betrayed. many point this out dale a golfer. tell me why he got a promotion the ceo of all golf in the world going back on everything he said the past two years. hypocrisy. wish golf worked like that. guess money always wins. wellesley brian says i feel

betrayed and will not be able to trust anyone within the corporate structure of the pga tour for a very long time. >> part of the reason is they believe the sport can't exist tearing each other apart like this. so they thought it could happen. they had meetings in san francisco, london and venice to get the framework set if it leaked out it would be a problem. a situation where a lot of high profile events. the european pour involved in this too. we need to get details. bryce dechambeau. patrick reed, cammeron smith all got huge paydays. what are you going to show to those people show loyalty. roy mcilroy earned unbelievable amount of money. tiger woods said 750 can thousand dollars one month for me with all his divorces, who knows. they are rich. got it. all over these guys showing loyalty. here is jay monahan talking

about why this happens and why he is not a hypocrite. i don't think it's right or sustainable to have this tension in our sport. i recognize everything that i have said in the past' in my prior positions. i recognize that people are going to call me a hypocrite. and any time i said anything i said it with the information that i had at that moment i said it on someone who is trying to compete for the pga tour and our players. i accept those criticisms. but circumstances do change. >> ainsley: how much is he making, brian? >> brian: i don't know. i'm sure he has not excelsed himself. listen to jim gray. he says jim nor man and jay monahan have got to go. listen. >> greg nor man has been a lightning rod and a bunch of players that just don't want him around. that's for jay monahan is he in this meeting right now. there is going to be a huge level of trust issue going forward with him. it's going to take a long time for him to repair that and it

looks as though the 9/11 families, the spokesman for them if it there is such a thing pga tour is just shills for saudi arabians, be that as it may. i think it's going to be very difficult long-term for either of those guys to have any involvement. you have to have the trust of the players while this does move the greg game forward and this does in effect liv really goes away now controlled or major investment are the saudis. >> steve: players are livid. they are up in canada for the canadian open. yesterday afternoon they had essentially a conversation with mr. monahan who i believe was appearing via zoom. at one point one of the players suggsuggested there it's time fr new management at the top of the pga. all those people had been loyal. could have gotten a wig paycheck. but, instead, this was going on

behind. >> ainsley: i bet jay monahan is making a lot of money on this deal. greg norm might say i'm making a lot of money already. i will step down. we will see. >> it would be crazy to step down. he had the guts to put this together attract the other players. did a lot of the woulding. >> ainsley: what will happen here? who will stay. >> i'm sure everyone is going to be okay. i would hope greg norman doesn't get kicked to th curb he took a. saudis having a huge role in sports today. no question. >> steve: the 9/11 families as jim gray said are furious. come up 6:30 here in the east. summer is heating up and so is the race for the white house. is two times the charm for chris christie or mike pence who just officially launched his campaign one hour ago. and is r.f.k. jr. resonating with gen z? all of that with our own panel live on fox square coming up next. good morning, guys

♪ >> we can turn this country around but different times call for different leadership. before god and my family. i'm announcing i'm running for president of the united states. >> brian: and the field continues to grow. back with a fox news alert. there you saw it. former vice president mike pence making his white house run for 2024. his announcement is coming ons heels of chris christie's two hour launch yesterday in new hampshire and ahead of north dakota's governor doug burgum who will be expected to announce later on today about 11:30 local time. our gen z panel here to weigh in. they have not made up their minds on who they are voting for. now the field is expanding i want to get your take on what is going on. start with you, ricky, what's your reaction to chris christie, the hottest candidate in 2012 did not do well and came in sixth place in new hampshire in 2016. and now wants to give it another

shot. >> i would say he has been very successful in the past on the debate stage. i would be interested to see how he would stack up against desantis and trump in a primary debate. but, by and large, i'm hoping to see some new fresh blood and some new dynamic candidates that haven't been in politics as long as he has. >> brian: you are an independent? >> i'm an independent, right leaning independent. but a party has to earn my vote. i'm not just going to go down the line. >> brian: so far, mike, we watched chris christie make it clear, i'm going after trump. michael duke. >> unfortunately, i think that's symptomatic of these establishment republicans doing what they always do. they are weighing off of their choices and right now his choice is to just attack people. i don't think that's productive for our government right now, and i don't think that's productive for what he wants to accomplish. right now we should be tackling issues like the state of the economy, record inflation and other high costs of living and that's what candidates need to be going off of. >> brian: what is so interesting, jenna, everyone does talk about the economy,

inflation, how much things cost, especially when you are just breaking into your careers, you know, in your case, according to reports, you are 18. >> yes. >> brian: what do people -- we will talk more about issues later. what candidate reflects your interest? >> well, essentially i think that our previous administration does affect that interest. within inflation for gen z, it's very scary to see the world we are living. in i think it instills a fear see how we are going to buy a house and raise family, i think the person with the best shot is going to be our former president donald trump. >> brian: you like what you have seen so far of this new. >> absolutely. i like what i have seen. i believe he is for the people. i think that chris christie, i believe is he washed up. and i think the whole thing is that he is not really going for america. for us, i think he is more going to attack trump. >> brian: that's what he says of course i have got a tack trump i have got to win and is he leading. daniel, the fact that this race is expanding. vivek ramaswamy is 37 years old.

and 78 years old donald trump who is leading everyone. what do you -- what candidates reflect -- gotten the most intrigue? >> well, first off, i want the candidate that i most intrigued about not to simply play political blood sports. i believe that a lot of the candidates in the g.o.p. primary have one message, one unoriginal message and that is donald trump has failed in this area and i will be the new donald trump, the better donald trump. again, like we have talked about chris christie how in his announcement for presidential run, he has talked about donald trump, when mike pence runs all i can think about is a sour relationship with donald trump. i want to talk about policy. solutions, the world is scary economics, inflation, please stop with the political blood sport. >> brian: maybe the north dakota governor someone you might be interested in. a business person running a state he has both, alli. >> for me, as an independent, i have two questions when i see these candidates come out with

their campaigns for president. i want to know why they are running in the first place and then i also want to know why they think that they have a shot at winning, which is also very illustrative to me what they have to gain. this have very interesting. >> brian: why are you getting in? >> exactly. >> brian: look at pence his resume looks great. >> right. >> brian: doesn't have necessarily the the can a are ritzema. you told me you have not made up your mind yet? >> i'm interested to see how the field plays out. as a democrat i was hopeful someone would come and challenge biden in that sense. >> brian: did you see r.f.k. at 2:00 in the morning down at the border? he not into vaccines, not for the ukraine war. that's a little different. >> yeah, i think it's interesting. we were actually just talking like 10 minutes earlier about what his potential impact will be. obviously there is incumbency bias with biden and a sense of belief who challenges you know the current president at the

>> steve: welcome back. a florida mother was shot and killed through their front door by her neighbor, reportedly. over the weekend in what authorities are calling a neighborhood feud that involved the victim's children. deputies responded to a trespassing call at a residence. the neighbor who has not yet been publicly identified claims she acted in self-defense under florida's stand your ground law. marion county florida sheriff billy woods joins us now from florida. sheriff, good morning to you. >> good morning, steve.

>> steve: so, a terrible story down there. apparently the woman who is now dead, her children were bothering the neighbor, right? >> that's correct. apparently it's been a feud going on for some time. in reference to the children being in front of the lady's home. and friday, parts of the spark was with the children being -- it's children being children. you know, as a parent, my kids have probably annoyed people as well. but, in this case, these were kids just being kids out there playing. and that's what sparked the whole thing. >> steve: i understand the woman now dead apparently heard from her kids that the neighbor reportedly threw an object at the children and hit one of them and so she went over to talk to her, right? >> that's correct. and that's what we found out through our interviews is during the confrontation of the individual, and i must apologize to you, steve, when you asked me about the neighbor.

i was assuming you were talking about some of the witnesses. i can give you the that name of the individual the neighbor that did do the shooting. it's 58-year-old susan lore rents is her name. but apparently a pair of skates that she threw at the children. that's what we determined. the kids confirmed that after the interviews on monday. and it did strike the child. >> steve: right. and the mother, who is now dead, a.j. owens confronted her and then the neighbor came over, this woman you just identified, and reportedly she shot through the door and killed this woman. what has the neighbor told you about why she did it? >> well, she is saying that it was loud banging on the door and supposedly that ms. owens was making threats to her life and that she feared for her life.

and you know that's what sparked it. i know everybody has been asking me why an immediate arrest wasn't made and everybody is up in arms about the stand your ground. >> the stand your ground law is very clear in regards to what we in law enforcement here in the state of florida can and can't do. one of the things is we cannot make an immediate arrest. it's our burden, legislators made it our burden to prove or disprove whether or not the deadly force was justified. and that's exactly what we were doing. because we have been working on it since friday night. and one of the key things in p and everybody has to understand these poor children, okay, were standing there with their mother when that happened. and the interviews that we're not cold-hearted individuals and we are not going to interview children at that time and during that initial incident. so the interviews had to be done on that monday morning, so a counselor could talk to them, a professional that has the expertise more than we do. and that's what led us. and their testimony and evident that we have collected does not

support what she is alleging. the shooter is alleging. and in fact, it disproves what she said. >> steve: it is an absolute -- it's a tragedy. >> it is. killing of a human being. >> steve: thank you very much for telling us what you know and where things are going down there thank you for getting up early early and informing our audience, thank you, sir. all right. nine be minutes now before the top of the hour. coming up on this wednesday. have you heard of the warnings about ai and how it poses a risk of extinction to all of us and how we must act now. how the senate plans to address the a.i., artificial intelligence threat coming up next. ♪ her of two. basically, i thought that my memory wasn't as good as it had been. i needed all the help i could get. i saw the commercials for prevagen.

lose my job to a.i. and we have already started to see that and i will talk about that in a minute. or there is this fear that a.i. is going to take everyone over and control us and, you know, exterminate us. i think the probability of that happening is so minusculely low it's not ever a thought. >> how do we prevent that. >> that's what the government is going to try to do in terms of working with the leaders of some of these like so open ai biggest one in terms of recognition. chatgpt,. >> that company is worth you were telling me. >> north of 60 billion. and microsoft put, you know, billions and billions into that. but he, sam aultman has been on the hill a lot. talking trying to work with legislation. there is mixed feelings about that. but i think it's going to come down to the speed when we think about the government. we don't really create it with speed, right?

name one thing to me. >> ainsley: will there be news anchors? will somebody take our jobs. >> already news anchors that are virtual. they already are. but they can never replace you. ever. >> ainsley: i thought that was a good answer but i thought we are all replace cybil. >> no, no, no, no, no. >> ainsley: you have to come on all the time and educate us, so fascinating. >> second hour of "fox & friends" starts right now. >> i'm announcing i'm running for president of the united states. >> former vice president mike pence. >> he joins an already crowded field. the charismatic chris christie enters the race. >> i intend to seek the republican nomination for president of the united states. >> gavin newsom claims florida was kidnapping migrants sending them to california. but new video tells a much different story. >> california [inaudible] >> no, no.
