guilty in 2001, but it proves treason was alive then and it is now. we have to be careful. paul: thank you all. and remember, if you have your own hit or miss, be sure to tweet it to us @jeronfc. thanks to my panel and thanks especially to all of you for watching. i'm paul gigot. hope to see you right here next week. arthel: former president donald trump back on the campaign trail a day after his historic indictment for the mishandling of classified documents. he spoke to supporters in georgia earlier today and plans to the appear in north carolina tonight. hello, everyone, welcome to the brand new hour of "fox news live," i'm arthel neville. eric: i'm eric shawn. that indictment alleges mr. trump kept a massive trove of classified documents at mar-a-lago. you know, he vowed as a candidate in 2016 to, quote, concerning the protection of classified information, he said, no one will be above the law.

but prosecutors say he has refused to hand over that material to the fbi after he left office including war plans that allegedly showed -- he allegedly showed off to visitors, nuclear scents and our nation's vulnerability to military attack. special counsel jack smith charged trump with 37 felonies saying the the violation of our national security laws put our country at risk. >> as far as joke of an indictment, the it's a horrible thing. it's a horrible thing for this country. i mean, the only good thing about it is, it's driven by mol, can you believe this? somebody said the fund raising is through the roof. that's less important. but i will tell you it's really driven us right through the sky. arthel: let's go to alexis mcadams live in greensboro, north carolina, with the latest. >> reporter: arthel and eric,

good evening. yeah, the former president will soon be here in greensboro, north carolina, at the gop convention. but he's still talking right now in georgia where he also faces a long list of charges there. as expected as well, he came out swinging in another fiery speech. this is the first time he's taken to the stage publicly to slam the doj and is talk about indictment number two. take a listen to what he had to say. >> the ridiculous and baseless indictment of me by the biden administration's weaponized department of injustice will go down as among the most horrific abuses of power in the history of our country. many people have said that, democrats have even said it. this vicious persecution is a travesty of justice. you're watching joe joe biden, think of it, biden is trying to jail his leading political opponent, an opponent that's beating him by a lot in the polls. >> reporter: the former president says the indictment is

horrible for the country but great for his re-election campaign. he says it's only driven his poll numbers straight up. >> all of my documents fell under what is known as the presidential records act which is not at all a criminal act. biden has troves of classified documents from his time as vice president which is much tougher, actually. it's actually a much tougher standing. >> reporter: now, a few hours earlier here trump's former running mate spoke at the north carolina gop convention in greensboro. vice president mike pence call on attorney general merrick garland to explain to the american people why this indictment went forward. >> it was a sad day for america. as republicans, we stand on the rule of law. ill encourage everyone here and -- id encourage everyone here and those in the sound of my voice, be patient. know that we will soon know the

facts. i also encourage you to pray. pray for the former president and his family. pray for all those this in positions of authority. and pray for this divided nation. >> reporter: and, arthel, as they -- eric and arthel, as they continue to do that setup behind me in greens borrow, this is all going to be for former president donald trump to take the stage. we expect once again a fiery speech from him where he's going to continue to talk about merrick garland and what he says are political motivations for this indictment. we'll keep you posted on that, and he should be here in the next couple of hours. we'll send it back to you. arthel: okay. alexis mcadams, thank you very much. eric? eric: well, kaczynski has die -- ted kaczynski has died at the age of 81. he was found unresponsive in his cell at the north carolina prison where he's been serving four life sentences. and you may remember the unibomber case, kaczynski

admitting he carried out a long series of letter bombings that killed at least three people and permanently maimed more over a whole 17-year-long stretch. and there was that manifesto and his anger against all sortses of things. charles watson in atlanta with the latest on the unithat bomb orer's passing. charles? >> reporter: good evening. theodore kaczynski, the man who the fbi infamously branded as the unabomber died in federal custody in north carolina today according to a spokesperson from the federal bureau of prisons. kaczynski, who was 81 years old, was found inside of his cell at the federal medical center in butler, north carolina, where he was being housed. in a statement, the federal bureau of prisons tells fox news, quote, responding staff immediately initiated life-saving measures. staff requested emergency medical service is the and life-saving efforts continued. mr. kaczynski was transported by ems to a local hospital and

subsequently pronounced deceased by hospital personnel. up until 2021 kaczynski was held in a supermax prison in colorado for his role in the 17-year terror campaign targeting scientists at colleges and universities across the country. from 1978-1995 the fbi hunted kaczynski who later admitted to participating in 16 bombings where he either mailed or dropped off explosives that killed at least 3 people and seriously injured nearly two dozen victims. the unabomber case was cold up until the fail of -- fall of 1995 when the fbi allowed a 35,000-word essay explaining his motives and views on society to be published for the world to read. after the man fess toe appeared in both the new york city times and -- new york times, thousands of -- including kaczynski's

brother who taught at berkeley and had eventually settled in a small cabin in a remote part of montana. what became most important for investigators to crack the case open were letters also provided by kaczynski's brother which allowed linguistic analysts to determine that those letters were from the same person who wrote the unabomber's published manifesto. finally in april of 1996, federal investigators arrested kaczynski and after searching his cabin found bomb materials, thousands of handwritten journals and at least one bomb that was ready to be mailed out. he was sentenced to four life sentences in federal prison where again today he took his last breath. eric? if. eric: charles, i reported from the scene of his last attack. that was a public relation ares executive, mr. wood, in new jersey. and as it happened, i was walking behind him in montana when he was arrested, and he was brought to court in helena, i was behind him then. i remember this, you're looking at his little cabin.

there was such relief that this unknown unabomber was caught and just stunned when we saw where he lived alone, fashioning those bombs and writing those manifestos. thank god for his brother with who recognized something in those letters and tipped off the fbi with his suspicionings, finally -- suspicions, finally bringing justice. charles watson in atlanta the, thank you, arthel? arthel: thank you. more -- for more on this, we're going to bring in mary ellen o'toole, a retired fbi profiler who worked on the unabomber case. mary ellen, thank you for joining us. if you would, you're on the phone with me, would you remind us of your involvement in the case? and also tell us the thoughts, the feelings that flooded your mind when you heard the news. >> thank you. yes, i worked on the case with really hundreds of other agents and law enforcement people from federal and state agencies who really did a fantastic job.

but my specific job was to participate in the victimology study. we were looking to see if the people who appeared as the the dresse and the sender on the bomb packages, if they had anything in common. so we interviewed all those e people over the course of a couple of months, and we found that they didn't have anything in common. there was no relationship between the two. so we weren't sure how kaczynski got their names. and then when the manifesto came in, another agent ask and i flew the new york to attempt to persuade "the new york times" and then "the washington post" to print that manifesto in its entirety. which my recollection was at the time they didn't want to do, and i understand that because it was lengthy, plus there was this unknown offender out there that wanted this manifesto on the front page of the two most prominent newspapers in the world. so it was a hard sell, but i do think that having it appear in the paper allowed the brother to

recognize the hand writing or the content of the manifesto. arthel: right. listen, and as you said, agents worked tirelessly, and you worked very hard. he was still able to elude the fbi and whoever was assigned to that 150-plus task force. you know, assign to track him down for 17 years. this must have been a case study for the fbi over the past three decades. has it been? >> i would say so. i don't think that since that time, certainly since eve been retired but in the behavioral analysis unit we never really saw a case like that before. it was really unique back then, and it remains a very unique case particularly because he was like a phantom actually. he would come in, the package if would be mailedded or it would be placed somewhere, and then from what we could tell he would

just leave the area. and then when we learned that all of this headquarters for him was that small shack in lincoln, montana, i think that was extremely surprising. we didn't anticipate that. arthel: yeah. well, reason, he was -- listen, he was definitely not a dumb man. he was harvard-trained, he was a math professor, once taught at uc-berkeley. he was diagnosed as paranoid schizophrenic since, of course, he sent that infamous 35,000-word manifesto to authorities that you mentioned that was ultimately published. what did authorities learn from that writing, from his writings? >> well, i remember there was a group of people that looked at that manifesto e, and it was single-spaced, and it was so lengthy, and it was rambling at its inception. but today it would be tantamount to the manifestos that we see maybe in mass shootings where the individual is complaining

about society and talking about what's wrong with the world and why they are in the position that they're in and why life has treated them the way that it has. so it had elements of that in the manifesto. but you could see the amount of time and investment that had gone into that writing. it hadn't been something that he just preparedded over a period of a few days or a few weeks. there was a keep commitment to the sentiments that he wrote in that document. arthel: yeah. it was titled industrial society and its future. wrapping up, mary ellen, you kid mention -- you did mention how those, the writings by kaczynski mirrors some of today's writings by some of the would-be mass shooters. given that that there is so much gun violence right now not turning this into a gun issue but just, again, a case study of how to do you, how to do you get into a mind of a person like

that if at all possible before they're able to commit such heinous crimes, or is there something that authorities have learned that that you can maybe some telltale signs that you can share with people who know those people before they get to that point of committing those heinous crimes. >> well, that's a great comparison because now we have the internet. now we have social media, and now we have people that are posting their sentiments and posting their thoughts and feelings online that they want to share with other people. with the unabomber, that wasn't -- we didn't have the internet. we didn't have social media, and even if we did, it's not likely -- he was such a loner, that he would have posted anything. so it would only have been if someone close to him and clearly not a neighbor, but it had to be a brother or another family relative that would have been familiar with his writings going back decades. so he was really an outlier because we would not have been

able to identify his writings otherwise. arthel: well, you said you worked with all of the victims, the families of the victims, those who were target by him. anyone alive now? it's been 30 years. >> oh, yes. there would be people that are still alive whose names that the unabomber just grabbed and used on his panels. people that had no knowledge of who he was, had no involvement in the crime. so he did use with ordinary, everyday people and i put their names as return to sevenner in the upper left-hand corner of the bomb, and then he had somebody else's name on the package. that's what i mean by trying to match those two people and talk to them to say do you all know one another, do you have anything in common, do you know who the unabomber could be. hopefully, those people are breathing a sigh of relief right now. arthel: i hope that they are. and i hope that you get a chance

to talk to them again, and if you do, i'd love for you to come back and share some of their stories as to how they feel now that the unabomber is dead. mary ellen o'toole, thank you very much. >> you're very welcome. thank you. arthel: eric? eric: well, arthel, ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy says they've launched the long-awaited counteroffensive against saturday anywhere putin's --'d vladimir putin's troops. fox news is live in kyiv with the very latest on how that is going next right here. stay with us. otein. those who tried me felt more energy in just two weeks. uh... here i'll take that. -everyone: woo hoo! ensure max protein with 30 grams of protein, one gram of sugar. enter the nourishing moments giveaway for a chance to win $10,000.

[inaudible conversations] eric: you're look at video in kerrson -- kherson, after the catastrophic collapse of the dam this russian-controlled southern ukraine. russian officials blame russia for that. flooding has reportedly so far killed at least 8 people. meantime, president zelenskyy announcing today during a surprise visit by canadian prime minister justin trudeau that the long-awaited counteroffensive against russia is underway.

the move by ukraine's forces comes as a heavy fighting does continue in the east and southern portions of the nation. senior foreign affairs correspondent greg palkot live in kyiv with the latest from on the ground. hey, greg. >> reporter: hi, eric. get, first, to that counteroffensive. we got pretty close to a confirmation that that is underway from ukrainian president zelenskyy. it's happening along long a 600-mile front line. ukraine especially, yes, trying to claw back losses in the east and maybe more importantly break through russian defens to the south of here -- defenses to the south of here. in action now, american bradley fighting vehicles and entire man tanks. russia is claiming seven of those have been hit. russia also continues its long-range barrage of this country. alerts rang out early here this morning, but most of the missiles and drones hit to the southwest including odesa where three were killed and, yes, it is the in the south where emergency workers are coping with that massive flooding from

the dam blast earlier this week. the disaster, yes, widely seen as the work of the russians. stranded folks are still being saved and helped with supplies as the russian shelling continues. finally, canadian prime minister trudeau, yes, stopped here today with more support and that followed a $2 billion u.s. military aid commitment on friday in a joint press conference. president zelenskyy had a message for vladimir putin and his army, they do not have much time left are. but with, eric, there's still a lot of fighting, a lot of work to do. back to to you. eric: that's for sure. greg, thank you. arthel? arthel: greg and eric, well, the man accused of killing four university of idaho students late last year was back in court yesterday as the family of one victim is challenging a gag order placed on both sides in this case. bryan kohberger's attorneys want it to stay, and it is in place for now as we await the judge's

rulings. jeff paul is live with the details now. jeff? >> reporter: whatever is decided eventually could have a major impact on who who we hear from and how much they tell us about this case moving forward. but beyond those involved not being able to speak to journalists, once the trial starts we almost might not be able to see what's happening inside the courtroom either. on friday the current gag order was challenged by a coalition of media organizations as well as one of the victims' families who say it violates constitutional free speech and the free press. but right now attorneys, law enforcement and even the victims' families cannot say a single word to the media. bryan kohberger is accused of breaking in in and stabbing to death four university of idaho students inside their off-campus home last november. since then the case has clearly gained attention from around the country. so the concern from the judge is maintaining a fair trial for kohberger that isn't influenced by what's being said outside of the courtroom.

>> i've never denied having a camera in the courtroom. i believe in that. but this is a different case. [inaudible] is just how the video -- it's not necessarily a problem --ing it's what the media does. with with the videos, with the photographs and how it's sort of manipulated in some a way that is harmful. >> reporter: kohberger's lawyer told the judge it's important the case is tried in court, not the press. he said added if journalists speak with them, they'll, quote, continue to put on the same narrative that gets them clicks. but the media coalition challenging the gag order says it should not have been issued in the first place without providing evidence until infringe on kohberger's right to a fair trial. now, the second district judge

there in idaho says he will rule on the matter during later proceedings deciding whether or not to allow cameras inside the courtroom in the future. arthel? arthel: all right. jeff paul, thank you. eric? eric: next on "fox news live," recent polls show that americans want our sharply-divided government to work together. and so does our next guest. he put out a campaign ad that attacks the extremists on both sides of the aisle, those extremists being too extreme. he is new jersey state senator jon bramnick, mentioned as a possible candidate for governor. we'll talk to him about his plan ahead for the republican party. carolina sports incorporated. a paradise for parents. lomita feed, current caretaker and owner. we did not know anything about the employee retention credit. that is a legitimate tax credit. so innovation refunds has really helped guide me through the process. just had to get a few of my records together, submit that,

document suggests he accepted a bribe as vice president. mr. biden calls that, quote, malarkey. a source familiar with the document tells fox news it does not say biden himself got any payment. republicans on the house oversight committee are now pushing the fbi to let the public see the document for themselves. lucas tomlinson's live at the white house with more. lucas. >> reporter: well, arthel, one of the republicans on the house oversight committee says she's viewed that document from the fbi source. she claims it allegedly shows that the biden family received much more money than has previously been reported. >> it was very credible and legitimate. i would not brush it off like the fbi has. and it corroborates other information that that we've seen in other places, because the document for one example talks about not just $5 million, but $10 million going to the biden family, half going to hunter biden, the other half going to joe biden. >> reporter: president biden

visited north carolina to tout what he called a historic economic recovery of the united states, biden also visiting the recently-renamed fort liberty, formerly known as fort bragg, home of joint special operations command. while in the tarheel state, president biden said he did not want to talk about the second trump indictment. >> reporter: prime minister, are you concern about the trump indictment? >> i have no comment. >> reporter: president biden, have you spoken to attorney general merrick garland yet? >> i have not spoken to him, i have no comment on what happened. >> reporter: we've also learned the white house has now appeared to backtrack on the story about china building a spy base on the island of cuba. a white house official now tells fox it's been there for years, arthel. quote, china conducted an upgrade of its intelligence collection facilities, plural, in cuba in 2019. this is well documented in the intelligence report. this is an issue that this administration if inherited. and, of course, the united states has been in cuba for

years, in fact, 125 years ago today, arthel, u.s. marines first captured guantanamo bay and, of course, the u.s. military has been there ever since, arthel. arthel: that's why you're the best, lucas tomlinson. thank you. [laughter] eric. eric: well, republican presidential candidates are out on the campaign trail this weekend. former president trump, vice president mike pence are both in north carolina. they're speaking at the state's republican party convention. but this comes amid all the political attack, the back and forth, and after years of division polls are now showing most americans want our government to start working together again. take a look at the results of this recent maris poll. it shows that 70% of americans say washington should prioritize coming together to find solutions as to as opposed to digging in their heels on key issues. that includes a majority of republicans, democrats and independents. and our next guest has been pushing just that. he is new jersey state senator,

republican john bram anybody. he's -- jon bramnick. he joins us now. senator, welcome. >> good to be here. eric: good to see you. the salvos, the attacks, it's like a war zone in the political battlefield. but you're hearing something kind of different from your constituents. it's one thing to see it on television, something else to step back. what are they telling you and what are you seeing, what would you like to see? >> well, eric, you said it, 70% of the people are in the middle. i think governor kaine said that many years ago. they don't want a cult. what's happened is people have turned into a party that they think's a cult, so they can't say anything bad about their leader. and it's dangerous. is so now 70% of the people want you to come out of your corner and start talking to the other side. and that is going to be the key to success is. to success. whatever candidate comes out and looks like they have a heart,

looks like they're listening to the other side, in my judgment, can win a general election. it's great in a primary you can have an echo chamber. the bottom line is if we want to win as republicans, we have to to look like we're listening, that we have a big heart and they trust us, and so far that hasn't been our path. eric: well, when you reference a cult, i assume you're talking about president trump and some of his followers who, you know, the critics say they just blindly have been following him. what do republicans have to do? do you think they should stay with him or what do you think they need to do in order to try to move forward? >> when you see bad behavior, and there's been bad behavior by president trump, you have to say and identify that bad baer. otherwise -- bad behave. otherwise, the mitt middle of the road voter is never going to trust you. to have this blind allegiance to someone who obviously is not the adult in the room is a problem for our party. that's true with people on the left as well.

our problem is we need to concentrate on our party and how to succeed. i think chris christie has said a lot about that, and that's why i'm a big support of governor request christie. eric: yeah, he's been attacking the former president. but others, you know, are supporting him and they've come out, you know, talking about the indictments and saying it's a miscarriage of justice this their view. what's your sense of that? >> my sense is they're talking to primary voters, they're talking to people who are not going to change their mind. it's a nice political strategy maybe in a primary, but it surely doesn't help you in a general election. and if you come in second, if our party comes in second, we're not going to change, not going to stop extreme policies on the democratic side. so if we're going to work together as one party to op stop those kind of extreme policies, we have to call out bad behavior, period. eric: let's take a look at that poll. there was something that you just hit in -- hit on about that.

70 overall want something changed, but folks look down over to the right, stand on principle. only 14% -- [laughter] of democrats want to stand on principle. 44% want to stand on principle who are republicans. that's very admirable. however, you know, what do republicans have to do if they sit there and say i'm standing on principle but you go down in defeat in the election? >> we're talking to a very small group in the middle of the political arena. we need to win that middle, and we can't win the middle by being extremist. and no matter how great you may feel about your party, you may love donald trump, the bottom line is you have to talk to the people in the middle, otherwise you lose. so, yeah, the statistics are interesting, but you can see most people want you to be reasonable. i'm tired of this cultist activity the on both parties, and so that's why i'm with you today. eric: yeah. and you have an ad out that's kind of intriguing and amusing.

let's play a clip of this ad, and we'll ask you about it on the other side. >> it was a peaceful protest -- >> the election was rigged. >> do -- defund the police. >> raise everyone's taxes. >> please, don't do that. be serious. it's time for balance in government with. [applause] let's start solving problems and stop screaming at each other. [applause] eric: well, you know, i mean, the extremes get a lot of the attention. where do you think most of this country is at? >> most of the country are people who want to help their neighbor. people have a big heart. they don't want to see hateful rhetoric. they want people to do their jobs, come together and move the country forward. and i don't think and the statistics show that people don't like extremism. they want everyone to work together. that's my goal. i've been talking about this for two decades. hopefully someday we'll move forward and get out of our corners and start working together. eric: message that resonates

from new jersey state senator, republican jon bramnick. mr. state senator, thank you for joining us. >> thank you, eric. everything everything of course. arthel? arthel: well, eric, as fears grow that fake campaign videos will flood the internet thanks to artificial intelligence, congress is looking to act. but is it too little, too late? that's next on "fox news live." all learning to save and spend their money with chase. the chef's cooking up firsts with her new debit card. hungry? -uhuh. the designer's eyeing sequins. uh no plaid. while mom is eyeing his spending. nice. and the engineer? she's taking control with her own account for college. three futures, all with chase. freedom for kids. control for parents. one bank for both. chase. make more of what's yours. we know patients are more than their disease. that's why, at novo nordisk, we've spent a hundred years developing treatments to help unlock humanity's full potential.

what are the concerns about a. i. that congress has and what are your concerns with them? do you think what they're doing is addressing this properly, or are they not doing enough? >> yeah. so, you know, the artificial intelligence issue is very broad. and you see that with that legislation you just mentioned. there's an element here of competition. we want to insure that we're staying ahead of china. there's also an element of deception, and often times people are under the impression they're talking to a real person, and sometimes it's actually just an a.i. chat bot. so across the board congress is going to have to grapple with each one of these individual issues as they arise. you know, frankly, we're kind of dragging our feet a little bit here. the issues are coming much quicker than the solutions, so congress will have to do quite a bit more in order to protect consumers and ordinary americans. eric: yeah. one of the issues that have been coming up has to do with the election. what types of concerns that you have that a.i -- can it, you know, play havoc or mumble

jumble it it up in any way? >> yeah. so over the past several months, generative the artificial intelligence has become readily available to ordinary individuals. and with that, a lot of these campaigns have begun to adopt it into their communication strategies. so that looks like the integration of deep fakes primarily on social media. what you see right now is campaigns using this in a more satirical fashion, but they've really just begun to scratch the surface of how these technologies work and what they're capable of. and as these campaigns become more familiar with how to use this technology and really to use it against their competition, we're going to see much more malicious use cases of this whether it's character assassinations or really defamatory content. there's no limit to what this technology can do, and there's really nothing stand thing in the way from a legal perspective of campaigns doing that to their competition. eric: senator richard blumenthal, democrat in karat -- connecticut, is raising warnings

about campaigning. he says there could be abuses, impersonations, he said, cloned voices. you would think it would be with illegal for a campaign to do that, but let's say someone puts that out on the internet and you think it's a candidate talking and not really in is that really possible? >> yeah, it sounds like something straight the out of science fiction. but the reality is just about anyone at this point in time has the tools available to them to make this type of content. and when you look at the presidential campaign cycle in particular, these are operations that have hundreds of millions of dollars worth of capital and the greatest, you know, technological minds at their disposal. so what we're going to see here is a lot of money getting pumped in to producing these types of content. and, you know, currently there are no regulations. there are really only a couple of bills even being floated around about how to handle this. and so, you know, senator blumenthal is right to be concerned because, frankly, politicians are going to be the first ones to have this used against them. eric: i mean, is it possible, would it be possible to the,

let's say, take president biden and he looks like he's in the white house addressing something or saying something, words coming out of his mouth, and it's not him? and the same as any republican presidential candidate out on the campaign trail. >> that's absolutely correct. and moreover to, they could do that exact same thing to you or i. this technology isn't limited to to the political arena. this is going to touch just about everybody. it's just a matter of, you know, people figuring out how to use these technologies. i think there is a temptation to kind of rate its capabilities right now based off of what the campaigns are currently putting out. but the reality is they haven't figured out how to use it quite yet. so when they start to be familiar with this technology if see what it can the really do, those types of simulate addresses, policy statements or even just damaging videos of them out in the public domain are all possible. and we're really on a rapid track to see these just about everywhere very soon. eric: jake, finally, i mean, do we know if that has happened already, or number one, and

number two, can anything actually be done to prevent that? because if there's a fake and it looks like it's real and then the light speed of the internet today it gets out there, you know, a lie -- the old saying the lie is halfway around the world before the truth can even try to catch up. >> yeah. so in turkey we've already seen this in the presidential election there. we had candidates, you know, have all sorts of deep fake content generated against them. and, you know, frankly, the it was the reason for a couple of them stepping out of the race. and so there's really no telling what this can do in our cycle. but the campaigns are still figuring this out. and you're right, before candidates can come out and address the video and really debunk its authenticity, the damage has already been done. so we're going to have to depend a lot on the platforms to use fact-checking that we all have grown to distrust anyway. so there's really no telling how this ends. eric: all right. well, we'll have to be on guard and stay with the truth. heritage foundation tech policy

understood in the home and around the hearth as a family. school districts in, the, kansas and missouri have also faced channels to the bible in libraries. it's become part of the culture wars. the bible is the best selling book of all time and has had a huge influence on literature like the works of william shakespeare, charles dickens and herman melville. the american family associate says while the bible does have difficult themes, it is foundational to education. >> kids need to be learning the bible, they need to be learning the great works of the western tradition, and i really think this is the problem with our educational bureaucracy. when they can't tell the difference between pornography and the great works of western literature, we have a problem. >> reporter: the school district said the bible was never part of younger students' curriculum. the bible will remain in local high schools. in new york, or lauren green, fox news. arthel: well, a miracle rescue. four kids found alive of after 40 days in the amazon jungle.

hope that the children would find them. they even used a loudspeaker to deliver a message from the children's grandmother. now, when they were finally found, the children were airlifted out of the darkness onto a military helicopter. that was a very delicate operation because the jungle below was so dense, the aircraft simply couldn't land. now, those children were flown out to bogota and on to a military hospital for health checks. the government says it will give them the best available careful and, of course, this is also fantastic news for the families, what a relief it must be for them to see at least those children back safe and and sound. back to you, arthel. arthel: kitty low began, thank you. i said it earlier, eric, i'll say it again, miracles do happen. we're back tomorrow at noon eastern. please join us then. right, erin? ♪ ♪ together we provide nutrients to support immune, muscle, bone, and heart health. everyone: woo hoo! ensure with 25 vitamins
