publix in neptune, florida. neptune is the same as neptune beach. ainsley: yeah. i guess. >> ainsley: comes out to $783 million. >> steve: thank you to publix our favorite store in florida. the winner of the largest prize in u.s. history matching all six numbers drawn last night. and the numbers are you could still have a winner the numbers are 13, 19, 20, 32, 33. the me mega ball 14 f we just td the winner they won, you're welcome. >> ainsley: five people did win the game second tier prize of a million dollars per family. and two people who hit the mega piler will take home 2 million. the largest jackpot ever was actually not the mega millions. it was the power ball and that went for 2.04 billion. >> steve: we remember. a couple people did win that. >> ainsley: that was in california. >> steve: can you imagine you go into a publix grocery store down

in florida. just to pick up stuff. you go early because it's hot down there. next thing you put $2 down and walk out with that kind of money. >> ainsley: i have never bought a lottery ticket in the grocery store. the lady who is the cashier take your money? >> steve: customer service. >> ainsley: go to that line. >> steve: publix are laid out just as you walk in the door right there next to the papers. >> brian: anything worse than going to the convenience store and the guy in front of you ordering a lottery ticket. sit there forever and ask about all the rules and look at all the options. for anybody else who didn't win, back to work. >> ainsley: the place that sells the winning ticket they get a little money, too? >> they get a million dollars. >> ainsley: a guy who works here at fox, a long time ago. he was country one of our security guards, he won a million and he qu quit his job. >> steve: do you blame him? >> ainsley: no. >> steve: check your numbers and good luck to everybody. speaking of numbers, talk a little bit about 2024.

now to the race to the white house, two weeks away from the first republican presidential debate as you can see right there the 23rd, hosted right here by fox news. >> ainsley: we are so excited and vivek ramaswamy is now the first candidate to officially secure his spot on stage after pledging to support the events actual nominee while former president donald trump's plans remain up in the air, still. >> brian: lucas tomlinson plans to give us update from washington he has secured that and i can confirm that it's official, lucas, tell urels what is happening in 2024. >> good morning, steve, ainsley and brian. with promises to cut taxes and bring down inflation and fix the economy. donald trump with a commanding lead in new hampshire with 62% of g.o.p. primary voters saying they would vote for him even if he was convicted of a felony. the former president speaking in new hampshire conducting a little impromptu poll of his own. >> they are all saying is he going to go into the debate? i said, i don't know, if you are leading by 50, 60, 70 points do you do that. >> no.

>> should i do that? poll. take a free poll. should i do the debate? [cheers] >> former vice president mike pence appearing at a new campaign video pretending to pump gas into a red truck. of the problem anyone who pumps their own gas outside of new jersey knows you don't just stick the gas into pumping you insert a credit card first and choose to pay inside and choose octane level. can you hear the beeping on the pump on the video. desantis campaign announcing a campaign shakeup replacing the campaign manager with a long time trusted political adviser which worked for the florida governor for years little campaign experience in recent months the desantis campaign announced staff layoffs and cut spending. who else will be joining desantis that critical first g.o.p. debate stage in milwaukee? exactly two weeks from today on the fox news channel as that plug. here's the list. donald trump, ron desantis, vivek ramaswamy signed the pledge to support the eventual

g.o.p. nominee. nikki haley, chris christie, doug burgum and tim scott. they say that video will not help mike pence, guys. >> steve: to understand you clearly, you are calling mike pence, former vice president, a fibber whether it comes to filling up his car, his truck? >> whoever did that campaign video, if we could crank the sound, i don't know if we can. you hear the beeping on the pump in the background. >> brian: yeah. i know exactly what you mean. >> ainsley: we are on in television. we know you have to shoot these things several times to get it right. sometimes you have to do some safeties. so he can't keep filling up. he can't keep filling up the tank over and over and over. >> this is true. apparently that was not the safety though. >> steve: lucas, thank you very much for the live report. >> brian: good news for mike pence he is. in i'm sure is he going to sign the pledge. he said as critical as he has been toward donald trump if donald trump is the nominee he

indicates is he going to sign it. the only one who probably wouldn't do it would be, i guess, are maybe chris christie because chris christie has said he can't support donald trump but he said donald trump had signed it and didn't put his hand up when asked is everyone here on stage going to support eventual nominee? i think, steve, you pointed this out. >> the crowd was mixed whether he should debate or not. people wanting to see trump debate. number one it's extremely entertaining and good. what i did recently was watched back the debate with joe biden where i thought he didn't do well. the more i realized he actually did well. much better than you would think. but the moderator kept interrupting number one and number two is joe biden just kept lying. i know nothing about my son's stuff. i don't even know what burisma is. >> going over and over again. when you continue to lie about the russia, 51 intel agents. so the stuff that trump was scoring on he couldn't score because the fact-checker wasn't accurate. the moderator wasn't clued in.

and we didn't eventually find out what we know now until 2023 that joe biden was lying repeatedly on the stage. >> steve: i think if donald trump is polling the audience and saying hey, do you think i should do that debate? because he was very clear. he was emphatic, no, i'm not going it do it because i'm way ahead. we have heard him say you know my advisers are telling me i shouldn't do it. obviously, he is having second doubts about the advice he is getting from his advisers. because, if he is polling the audience and i just don't see -- okay. >> the debate is in two weeks here on fox. i just don't see donald trump sitting at home watching, along with 40 or 50 million americans when he sees ron desantis in that center square. that would absolutely drive him crazy. >> ainsley: don't you want him to do it. >> steve: of course. ainsley: i know he is angry of everything that he feels this administration and the doj have put him through, don't take it out on republicans. because republicans want to see him up on stage.

don't take the voters for granted. yes, he is ahead by a lot. to see him up on the stage would be wonderful. we want to see how they interact. we want to hear their policies. >> steve: that's how he became donald trump the first time. >> ainsley: he made it entertaining. >> steve: he blew everybody away. >> ainsley: 62% pick even if he is convicted of a felony. 57%. so a big number still, said that they would vote for trump even if he were serving time in prison on election day. >> steve: that's crazy. there is one other very interesting thing about that poll from the new hampshire journal. donald trump has a really big lead. but, guess who is now in second place? chris christie is in second place tied with ron desantis. >> ainsley: 9%. that's new hampshire. chris christie has focused on new hampshire the entire time. >> steve: it's working. >> brian: still in single digits. i would say. >> steve: he is tied with ron desantis. >> brian: i would say one thing is i wouldn't give up on ron desantis yet.

it's not unusual for feel rotate out their campaign chair people. one person that did it constantly was donald trump. it was effective. i remember john mccain seemed to carry his own bags through the airport. looked like he was done. he revamped his campaign. scott is going more provincial. next thing you know he has the nomination. >> ainsley: and still going to be working in the campaign. they are pushing his chief of staff from the governor's office. he has been involved with the campaign. they moved him over to the campaign. and now he is actually going to be henning with the campaign. >> steve: right. but there were some stories that came out last night that said one of the reasons he is making the changes is because big donors are saying we don't like what you are doing. we are not going to give you any more money unless you change not only the way the campaign is working but the tone of that campaign. >> ainsley: and his people are saying, look, don't count him out, to your ohio point. they are saying people have written ron desantis' obituary many times.

andrew gilliam adumb putnam and charlie crist. he beat by a landslide down in florida. 20 points, i think. >> listen, my family has gone to stirges in south dakota. >> would you wear the weather vest. >> steve: absolutely. my sister had a harley. >> ainsley: really? >> steve: my sister kathy rode the harley. it's all about the ride it's 4:00 a.m. mountain time and everyone is here to show support for fox news. they love "fox & friends." let me tell you we had such a great day yesterday riding, kristi noem is going to join us later. i spent the whole day with her yesterday with the bikers. they love the country and god and it's a pleasure to be with them. after having such a great time

>> lawrence: start them young here at sturgis. i do feel at home. this is the great think. this is my first one. this is my first one. i'm trying to convince the bosses to bring the whole show out here. >> ainsley: that would be awesome. >> steve: there is plenty of time because the sturgis rally goes over 10 days of riding and food and music. >> brian: lawrence, i have been seeing the commercials because i get the channel at home. it looks like south dakota is hiring are they still hiring, do you think? [laughter] >> lawrence: i'm not sure. i'm not sure. >> ainsley: we'll ask the governor. she is coming on the show. >> brian: we need a job. >> lawrence: so the governor has been talking about this. she has this whole campaign push to get folks hired here in south dakota. she is going to be here live in the next couple hours. we are going to ask her about. and we may make some news. could she be the next vice president of the united states?

of classmates named barbie and ken. >> steve: yes, indeed. they can do it. listen to this crazy story. a passenger managed to sale through a tsa check point with a boarding pass they fished out of the garbage can. traveler escorted by employee of clear, the pricy private supervisors that allows passengers to w wisconsin throut security. tell us about this guy. somebody got a boarding pass did not belong it to them. gave it to the clear people and wound up being escorted past security? apparently so. fished out a boarding pass like this one i used yesterday as i sail through clear on the airport. i got stopped on the way back to show my i.d. as a random search. which is what a proposal going on because this happened.

and clear just to get it straight, is that service that people pay upwards of $189 sometimes discounted with credit cards or affinity programs. jump in front of a bunch of people. scan your i.d. vetting of you in advance. that lets you sail to the front of the line don't have to show your license or real id it's called instead pull up in the fro file. apparently this guy fishes into the garbage can, pulls this out. the ambassador as they are called at the airport from clear, marches the guy to the front of line see you have a good flight. the guy never got on the flight. the guy didn't have a flight. this happened not just once but twice. >> steve: the second time somebody was whisked through clear. they had a boarding pass for another airport but the clear person let them through. kurt, you were talking about how you got stopped for because the whole idea is it scans your eyes or fingerprints and then you are cleared for takeoff. that's where the name comes

from. but, i would say in the last five or ten times i have flown, every time they have asked me for i.d. and to see my boarding pass as well, which, you know, that's the whole point of having clear. so you can go right through to the tsa line. >> right. clear is saying that they are going to do more of these kinds of random severance and also responded by saying they are going to train the frontline ambassadors again on security procedures to avoid these autopsiys happening at the airport that in brian's complaint may ruin it for all of us the fact of the matter is you can't just let anybody through without properly going through the process. and what happens the point of spending this money if you are just going to have to slow that i.d. again like you would to begin with at the tsa agent. >> steve: and i have had to show my i.d. every time it's driving me crazy. clear put a statement to us.

security is job one at clear which is why we term immediate action terminating the responsible employees and managers and retraining each location's ambassadors as well. so maybe that's going to make things better. but, i hope you can still sail through the airports, kurt. >> well, if somebody in correct me if i am wrong doesn't that necessarily to' ha. they are looking to tighten that up and make it more difficult for us. we will see if anything comes of that. we have learned about this through secret discussions going on in front of congress. >> steve: okay. you mean like a whistleblower or something like that? >> something like that. >> steve: all right. kurt, thanks for getting up early today. >> good to see you. >> steve: all right. 6:25 now here in the east. still ahead as we near two years since the chaotic afghanistan withdrawal. one marine colonel who investigated the deadly kabul airport attack joins us to explain whether a went wrong and how leadership failed as gold star families demand

success but a strategic failure. >> was it perfect? of course not. >> so for all this talk of chaos, i just didn't see it. not from my perch. >> brian: these guys all should be ashamed of themselves for general milley to sit there and say you i knew it was going to be president but i'm not the president to put the stars on the ground and storm out of that room is ridiculous. admiral kirby spend career in the military and say from his perch didn't see chaos. absolutely insulting. could you imagine if you had a family member die there, injured there or hundreds of afghans killed there because they only wanted the airport and the security was done by the taliban as crazy as that is. what about the president of the united states? he does not want to hear anything about afghanistan are, the withdrawal. which was all his idea. he blames trump. says the deal was done. i had no choice. we know he had a lot of choices. and when the 13 bodies arrived to dover air base. and when the 13 died at the blow-up at abby gate, at a

terror attack that everyone knew was coming, that it was tell graphed, this is what the family saw. the president multiple times check his watch during the service. let alone some of the one-on-one time. the families were enraged this week because they still have not been given the respect that they deserve and the answers that they need. listen. >> it's just disrespect. he disrespected all 13 of our kids when they came home. >> my son gave 11 years of his life to this country and i think that there is some dang respect and i didn't get that respect when he died for his country. >> always moved from one post to another. they haven't gone down to a lower post and they they sure as heavens haven't been impeached or resigned next guest served as service officer in the marines. he was tasked with the investigation. the deadly attack at kabul airport. with us back in studio retired

marine colonel chris douglas you watched those families talk. they were as sad they were just as angry. do you understand where that anger comes from. >> i do. i can't understand what the families went through. their testimony was extremely powerful and moving for me. >> brian: because they weren't properly briefed. they never got the answers. >> right. i mean, you have to take what they're saying at face value. the fact that they have questions shows that all of their questions weren't answered. >> brian: you offered to brief them about what you found out about kabul airport. the explosion at abby gate. what was the answer when you offered to brief the families. >> while i personally didn't offer the team was offered through the army central command, commanding general to brief the families and marine corps had declined because they had are in their own briefing officers. >> brian: what did you find in the investigation and what is

your sense when you see secretary of defense austin, when you see admiral kirby and general milley talk about how effective they were getting people out instead of what led to that moment? what are your thoughts about that? >> so, you know, you have to remember, there is two different things, the withdrawal and the evacuation. and so, there is always going to be questions about why we went to zero before executing an evacuation it. >> brian: military guy does it ever make sense to you to go zero while we have civilians there? >> is it doesn't make sense to take all the security out to then have to put it back in to remove the people that you need to provide security for. so that's first. next, is the actions of the service members on the ground: without question is heroic. then, you know, you have to look at the decision-making process and the position we put them in. if you don't go to zero, and you keep 2500 there, you don't have to execute a average security

forces stay. you do go to zero now you have to put security forces in. you have to make the decisions to say hey, we're going to do everything within our power to ensure success. when it goes bad as it did, then you have to ensure that the families have clear, concise, consistent information that and all of their questions are answered. frankly, they should be all brought together, even as of now, and all of their questions should be brought up. and if there aren't questions that are able to be answered, then they have to get the answers for them. >> brian: the pentagon had a briefing yesterday and didn't bring it up. they keep blaming trump the doha deal was done. i had no choice. is that true? >> i disagree with that you have to think this goes back to you can delegate responsibility you can't delegate responsibility. while you can say we had the trump timeline, you accepted the trump timeline you can't blame the previous administration and say hey, they are responsible therefore i have no

accountability. this lies -- we have a commander-in-chief. the military falls under civilian control for a reason. this falls -- rests completely at his feet and, therefore, he said it once. the buck stops with me. sadly, after that, he then tried to tape a dollar to the football and pass the buck to the previous administration absolutely unconscionable. >> brian: thousands left behind. >> thousands left behind. i still receive messages and, frankly, i'm afraid to answer them because i don't know if it's coming from a specific afghan or if he is now held by the taliban and they are sending the message to confirm whether or not this person worked americans. by even answering it i'm going to put that person at risk. >> brian: he said the taliban have kept al-qaeda and isis out of afghanistan. no human being believes that. nor is that the case. >> i think that -- the drone strike, you know, already showed that wasn't the case.

>> brian: right zawahiri killed him while he was on his porch. >> right. >> brian: hopefully the families will be allowed to call you directly because you do have the answers. >> i would say what i think what they should do is they should bring the families together, i mean, at this point now, you know,. >> brian: two years later. >> two years later i would have to review the investigation and get read back in. and, you know, yeah, i would be available if the military wanted assistance with it. >> brian: colonel, thanks so much. appreciate it. meanwhile, coming up straight ahead, what if you called 911 and no one showed up? the u.s. is facing an amazing shortage of emergency responders because they are facing more unprovoked attacks. >> we will hear from a first responder attacked on the job left with a concussion coming up. first, rev your engine, lawrence jones is live at the world's biggest motorcycle rally in south dakota and it's 4:00 in the morning. stay with us.
