have the commerce that interacts with everything else. it's all on the policies of california. they need to own it. they need to put the people ahead of the politics maybe. maybe for like an hour so we can go to the store and not get ransacked. steve who would move to california? >> not me, man. too many homeless and better looking than me. why don't you give me a dollar. >> steve: wasn't going to bring that up. jimmy, thank you very much. exactly 7:00 in new york city and hour two of "fox & friends" is starting right now. ♪ >> ainsley: we begin this hour with a fox news alert. a georgia grand jury charging former president donald trump and 18 others including rudy giuliani and kanye west's publicist over alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election. >> brian: it's trump's fourth indictment in five months as he seeks another term in the white house and is he leading in a big way. jonathan serrie is live outside in fulton county courthouse. hey, jonathan, a few hours ago there was chaos there.

>> oh, incredibly busy evening. good morning to you, steve, ainsley and brian. and the former president is lashing out against the prosecution. he tells fox news digital, quote: politically inspired indictment, which could have been brought close to three years ago, was tailored for placement right smack in the middle of my political campaign where i am leading all republicans. the former president and 18 others face various charges individually, including violation of oath by a public officer and filing spawls documents. all of the defendants have been charged with violating georgia's racketeering law, which carries a maximum prison sentence of 20 years. in addition to the mr. trump, the indicted defendants include his former white house chief of staff mark meadows and some of his former attorneys, including rudy giuliani and sidney powell. the 98-page indictment lists scott mccafe as the judge who will be presiding over the judge.

appointed by republican governor brian kemp and joined the fulton county superior court earlier this year. hours before the jury handed up the indictment an incomplete document listing the same charges briefly appear dollars on the fulton county clerk of courts website before abruptly being taken down. my colleague bryan llenas pressed the d.a. on what happened. >> can you tell us more about that document leak because now you have the former president's lawyers saying this is emblematic of a serious problem with your office. >> no. i can't tell you anything about what you refer to. what i can tell you is that we had a grand jury here in fulton county. they deliberated until almost 8:00, if not right after 8:00. an indictment was returned. >> trump attorney alina habba says none of the defendants was given any advanced notice on the indictments before news broke on tv and online.

the d.a. is giving the defendants until noon on august 25 to voluntarily turn themselves in. steve, ainsley, and brian, back to you. >> steve: hey, jonathan, i know they included a punch of security measures around the courthouse where you are right now. just in case there was trouble. was there anything? in fact, there was a small protest yesterday, unrelated to what was going on in the court protest against this police training center under construction outside of town. knowing the national media would be out here outside the courthouse they took advantage of the opportunity to protest. >> steve: you mentioned the story so they got what they were trying to do. jonathan, thank you for joining us live. >> my flesh. >> brian: bring in another

jonathan. jonathan turley. fox news contributor. george washington university law professor. jonathan, this is not a surprise denied knowing anything about it noteworthy. what stands out to you? >> i did find that statement by a district attorney to be baffling, to say well, i don't know anything about the clerk's office this was a premature publication of the indictment it's a serious mishap. you think she would be somewhat curious about how that happened. the indictment as we expected founded on this broad racketeering claim. 18 individuals charges. willis charged everything and allowing everyone and allowing god sort them out. look at this indictment. every call, every tweet, every speech seems to be criminal act

that composes this conspiracy. that raises really troubling questions as to the criminalization of the challenges to election. you know, i have been covering presidential elections a long time. i can't even remember how many. but, in every single presidential election, we track challenges by democrats, by republicans. some of them are based on strong evidence. some are not. even in this election, you have people like marc elias for the democratic party after this these acts allege that voting machines in new york were at the -- were the cause of flipping an election. and challenging that election. was that a crime? of course it wasn't. it was a challenge. they were looking for judicial review. so it's a very troubling indictment. >> ainsley: jonathan, they waited two and a half years to do this. if they had a problem, our question is why didn't they take

this to court two and a half years ago? why wait in all four of these indictments until a year before the election knowing these court cases are happening next year when we'll all be going to the polls in november? i think that's a fair question and former president in his rights to raise it. this indictment, obviously, could have been brought long before yesterday. it seemed to have been timed to hit right in the middle of the election. and now we have a pile up. this president is being really pursued, pillar to post, across the country in different jurisdictions. there's going to be a reaction to that. i mean, there is -- this is a very troubling thing to watch. the thing about georgia though that i don't think the trump team should discount is that this has legs because it was

brought under the racket tearing statute, it's going to be very hard to getten an appellate review to knock this out on threshold largely fact questions. the prosecutors argue let us prove our case let us bring the evidence together. the chances of this surviving a review are likely quite high, at least in some form in the d.c. case the judge there could cause a similar problem. she could make it difficult for trump to get to the court of appeals on the supreme court on what i think are major threshold questions. unlike georgia, jack smith is creating new law. and it's not going to please a lot of these higher courts. in georgia, this is a state action. elections fall within their pursue. it's going to be harder to take out a case like this ton a threshold challenge.

>> steve: sure. jonathan, we have paid your retainer until 7:15. we have got about 8 more minutes. can you stay there for just a second? >> sure. >> steve: okay. good. because we are going to go to another venue. we have had a change of venue. president biden is heading to milwaukee today to tout his ira, ira,flation reduction act and also bidenomics. >> ainsley: his appearance comes as the white house maintains there is zero evidence the president did anything wrong in connection with his son's foreign business dealings despite new evidence from house republicans. >> brian: new evidence yesterday from the fbi. peter doocy joins us live from the white house. hey, peter. >> peter: usually law enforcement gets a tip but in this case they are accused of giving a tip in 2020 to hunter biden's team that wound up killing an fbi interview that had been planned with him. that's according to testimony from a former fbi agent who says i felt it was people that did not need to know about our intent. i believe that the secret service had to be notified for

our safety, for lack of confusion, for deconfliction which we would do in so many other ways cases but i didn't understand why the initial notification. that's james comer over at the oversight committee even more mad at this special counsel weiss. he says the oversight committee has no confidence in u.s. attorney weiss as special counsel, given his inability to prevent the biden transition team from being contacted and federal agents were not permitted to interview hunter biden as planned. but, to all of this, white house officials are still saying it's just a big distraction from the issues impacting americans. >> if you think about what republicans in congress have tried to do for years, right? they have been making claims of and allegations, right? about president on this front and what's been the result of that if you ask yourself what we have seen from that? they keep turning up documents and witnesses showing that the president wasn't involved. never discussed these business dealings and did nothing wrong. there's been zero evidence showing -- showing otherwise.

>> and hunter's lawyers are now saying that part of that plea deal the prosecutors appeared to say was dead is actually alive. the part that keeps him out of jail for a gun charge, hours republicans wrote to the doj asking for details about that plea deal. they got a letter back from the doj. no info yet because they say that the probe is ongoing. back to you. >> steve: indeed. all right. peter, thank you very much. jonathan turley we have five more minutes on the clock with you. jonathan, what we heard on sunday from hunter biden's lawyer abbe lowell who i'm sure have you known in the d.c. area for a long time. a great lawyer. when hunter biden would call his dad and put his dad on speaker phone, that was what a loving father would do. and i thought about that question because peter doocy asked the president about hey, when you would get your dad on the-when you would talk to hunter on the speaker phone, about business and he goes i never talked about business. well, now abbe lowell is

admitting that joe biden and hunter biden talked to his business associates on the speaker phone. >> i agree with abby when my children fleece foreign i always get on the phone. >> ainsley: beach house in delaware. >> you know. the problem here is the moving of the goal post. you know, and the contrast is, of course, extraordinary. trump is being indicted for everything short of ripping a mattress label off. >> brian: that's next. >> yet, the department much justice seems to be waiting for a virtual confession from the president in order to bring an indictment. it's a very weird contrast. but, this is becoming so serious i think it's going to be harder and harder for the media and the justice department to continue to deny this. the president said for years to the public he never spoke to his son about foreign dealings.

>> right. >> recently devon archer said that was categorically false that the president knew about their dealings. other witnesses said they had met with the president, had dinners, including one who said he discussed the family dealings. all of these narratives are collapsing and then they put up, yet, another one. well, the loving father narrative is just not going to do it. you know, the house is now documented at least $20 million going to the bidens. it's going through a series of accounts, a couple dozen accounts that seem designed to hide those transfers. and all they can say now is well, can you show a picture of him receiving an envelope of cash or a deposit slip to an account by joe and jill biden? there are witnesses that have been cited that said they were told not to refer to joe biden directly. not to make any payments directly to him. and why would you set up all these accounts excepted for that purpose? you know, they are there.

so that you don't have that type of paper trail. >> brian: does circumstantial matter? does that matter, circumstantial? >> well, this is a pretty strong case as it is. and, yet, the maker garland just refused to extend the mandate. we had -- he appointed a special counsel that flipped the regulation on its head. you know, he picks someone who is literally being looked into by congress for alleged fixing of the prior investigation. and, yet, garland still will not say that he should investigate all of this. and get it all out. instead, is he focusing on hunter. >> ainsley: alan dershowitz said the strategy is to get the conviction before the election. i used to tell the students if you bring ricco case it increases your chance of winning a trial and losing an appeal. if we get a conviction before the election, then it goes to an appeal that won't happen until after the election. is this going to help or hurt him if he ends up getting convicted? >> look, i think that this is

obviously helping him. >> the american people don't like to see this. this is what you see in a lot of other countries. you know, the willis indictment has legs in the sense that it tends to be more iron plated because these are conventional state charges. that doesn't mean that it's right. when you look at this indictment, it's charging everything. every call, every tweet, every speech. you know, the president is allowed to challenge elections. he is also allowed to be wrong. and there is no -- there is no clear principle or dividing line of when challenges will now be criminal and when w they will be allowable. >> ainsley: one more question why 18 co-defendants? what did they do wrong? >> i think, once again, this is a very typical approach to a racketeering case. you charge everyone. and then you pressure a lot of the co-defendants. >> steve: squeeze. >> to flip. that's what i think they hope will happen here.

>> steve: jonathan, 27 seconds left on the count. we will yield back our time. >> thank you very much. >> ainsley: thanks, jonathan. >> steve: we have got more to talk about this topic. come up, we have one of the president's attorneys alina habba and matt whitaker the former acting u.s. attorney general going to be joining us right here on "fox & friends." >> ainsley: that's right. in the meantime, let's hand it over to carley for more headlines. >> carley: a newly released mugshot shows the second illegal migrant who sex crime charges forced the democrat to stop asylum seekers from new york city to upstate new york. the sexually accused of assaulting a woman who worked for a company that provides social services for migrants. meanwhile lady gaga's dad is now sounding the alarm on how bad the crisis really is in the big apple. >> become a problem. noise at night. one of the condominiums at the end of the block you, they hired their own security. we haven't gotten much help from nypd.

there was no plan. they just -- they dropped him into the neighborhood. right? all of a sudden 500 new people were in the neighborhood. and they took over. >> right now new york city is sheltering nearly 60,000 migrants. the biden administration moving forward with plans to cancel $39 billion in student loan debt. the president releasing a statement over 804,000 borrowers never got the credit they earned and never saw the forgiveness they were promised even after making payments for decades i was determined to right this wrong. this comes after a federal judge dismissed a lawsuit from conservative groups looking to block the student loan forgiveness plan. country star jelly roll opening about the struggles of morning tv after yesterday's live performance of "i need a favor" right here on "fox & friends." >♪ only talk to god when i needa favor ♪ and i only pray when i ain't got a prayer

♪ so who the hell am i ♪ a savior ♪ if i only talk to god when i need a favor ♪ god, i need a favor ♪ >> carley: yesterday after that great performance he tweeted, quote: one of the hardest things i have ever had to do as an artist is sing on morning tv or radio. it's so hard to get your voice primed and warmed up that early in the morning. despite the struggles he says he thinks the performance went great and we, of course, agree. >> ainsley: hardest thing i have ever had to do. >> carley: which is a lot coming from him who has had some struggles in his life. waking up for "fox & friends" was a difficult one for him. >> steve: who knew. he is talking about how he had to warm up his voice. he had an app. on his phone that would go through the notes he would go da da da da da da da. he was just in the green room doing just that. >> carley: he performed the night before in atlantic city.

so he did the bus ride over here. slept as long as he possibly could and slept great. his personality is so funny, too. i love him. >> ainsley: he said the hardest thing i could ever do as an artist is wake up this early. when we said we are so glad you woke up with us this early. only time when i ever woke this up early is when i had a parole hearing. when you watch his documentary is he very honest and open about his life. he has been arrested 40 times. his life has changed now. >> brian: do you know who also had trouble yesterday? >> ainsley: who? >> brian: his band. >> ainsley: in the green room on the furniture. >> brian: wide awake for their performance. >> steve: but the show must go on. when the lights come on doing the singing and they were great. >> brian: tell that to carley. >> carley: not a morning person. >> ainsley: do you sleep in on saturdays? >> carley: not anymore. >> ainsley: she is a momma. >> brian: today marks two years since kabul fell to taliban

thanks to biden's antics. the chaotic withdrawal even though admiral kirby didn't see it that way is epic and stain on america's past. going to talk to lance corporal smith to hold the administration once and for all accountable. at mint mobile, we like to do the opposite of what big wireless does. they charge you a lot. we charge you a little. they put their names on arenas. we put ours on my lower back. so naturally when they announced they'd be raising their prices due to inflation, we decided to deflate our prices due to not hating you. and if this were one of their ads, they'd end it here with a "happy customer". so we'll end ours with an angry goat.

oh h-ho, look at the angry goat.

>> extraordinary success of this mission was due to the incredible skill, bravely, and selfless courage of the united states military and our diplomats and intelligence professionals. >> today marks two years since these videos, remember, this since kabul fell to the taliban? and that pass president biden two years ago defending his

withdrawal from afghanistan. the evacuation led to the death of 13 u.s. service members after a suicide bomb attack in kabul airport. our next guest is a gold star father of lance corporal jared smith who was among those who was killed that day. there is a beautiful picture of the two of them together, father/son. joining us now is mark schmitz, mark, thanks for joining us. ainsley: thank you. a title a parent never wants to have a gold star parent. two years. has time helped heal your wounds? >> it gets different every day. you live with this for the rest of your life and it's a hole in it y you know will never get filled. we have had a lot of support from the community and family, friends and people we don't know. fellow strangers that help keep us standing upright. lost children on that day the hardest part for them is knowing this could have been prevented.

do you feel that way? >> absolutely. we have been having meetings with foreign affairs mccaul. congressman issa we feel starting to get enough answers but not enough. relying on the democratic party to step up. this certainly should never be a partisan issue. i think we can gain a lot of headway if we just get the support of some of these democrats in the foreign affairs committee in particular to help get to the bottom of this. for us, there is nothing we can do to change what's happened. it's never going to bring our kids back but we want to make sure the rest of our military that's out there serving us right now is never going to be facing a situation like this again where they could potentially be killed for no reason. >> has the democratic party have those lawmakers stepped up and helped you? what about the administration? have you heard from them? >> no. the administration just keeps doubling down on their success

of what they call a success. the democratic party they will give every their condolences and turn around and play the blame game instead of looking at the big picture here. we are finding out little bits of information marines step forward. vargas andrews has been a huge part of that as many people know. and he just did a five-hour interview and released a lot more information that i found to be quite interesting for the screwups from the guys on the ground there i'm not talking about our marines. i'm talking about their higher ups. >> ainsley: right. right. you are talking about when they said what do we do? and the higher ups said "i don't know"? >> yep. you had the marines all separated on the wall line there going all the way down the canal and somebody decided to collapse that separation, which put them all together, which ended up being a perfect recipe for disaster for that bomber. you know, we found out that the

dod denied the drone strike on isis members i don't know that that would have prevented it or not but certainly allowing tyler to take that shot i think would have certainly prevented think. >> ainsley: absolutely. mark, tell us about your son. tell us about jared. what was he like? >> jared was a very fun-loving kid. he was friends with everyone. he looked out for everyone. he was just probably the most giving person i have ever known. a huge, huge supporter of his sisters. they looked up to him like a super hero. i think it's affected them the most that he is gone. they don't even want to talk about it. they like to remember him as if he was here. these anniversaries are obviously especially difficult for them. so, jared, he was a hell of a man. anybody who got to know him was blessed to know him. so,. >> ainsley: a hell of a man. that, he was.

he will always be a hero in our eyes. thank you so much. >> thank you. >> ainsley: you raised a hero. just know that god bless you. marine lance corporal jared schmitz was only 20 years old. only been in average for two weeks. he was one of 13 american heroes killed in that withdrawal. there are their pictures. may they all rest in peace. e feg the psoriasis treatment she's been looking for. sotyktu is the first-of-its-kind, once-daily pill for moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis for the chance at clear or almost clear skin. it's like the feeling of finding your back... is back. or finding psoriasis can't deny the splendor of these thighs. once-daily sotyktu is proven to get more people clearer skin than the leading pill. don't take if you're allergic to sotyktu; serious reactions can occur. sotyktu can lower your ability to fight infections including tb.

brian back with a wildfire alert. emergency crews with cadaver dogs are searching through destroyed homes and charred vehicles in maui as the death toll of the historic wildfire nears 100. >> ainsley: white house dismissing criticism of president biden being on vacation and offering that, quote: no comment to the -- over the weekend. listen. >> you all have gotten full reports on who the president has connected with you all have heard from us when the president has talked to the governor, when the president -- you heard from me about talking to the senator. you heard from the governor and the senators on the ground saying how much they appreciated the work of the federal government, the work from this president. and i think that matters. >> steve: people just want to hear from the president. meanwhile, fema says there is no timeline for a presidential visit yet because resources are focused on the recovery effort.

if the president goes that, is a lot of security focused on him. will cain has been speaking with residents who lost everything and he joins us live from maui, once again with somebody else. will, who are you talking to this tuesday morning? >> you know, steve, you know one of those burned out cars, one of those burned out homes belonged to my new friend here who has a story sadly harrowing also common to that day in lahaina. left not here today right here to tell me your story. >> i am, yeah. >> will: what happened that day in lahaina, scared out of my life like other commuter members and neighbors and we just that fire, the wind was mutant, you know. and whoever got out of there alive is the lucky ones. like i said, 30 seconds, seconds. it wasn't even minutes, you know. you just had to go.

>> will: two points we have been talking about this morning etan we talked about leadership a lot. one of the things that has not been said there were high winds. 08 mile-per-hour winds, 65 mile-per-hour winds that morning there was no warning on that. we talk about no warning on the fire there was no warning on the winds that were a failure of leadership as well. i want people to understand this about lahaina okay. etan multi generation the home that you lost old plantation home. tell me about your family. >> i'm 39 years old. my family has been here for 200 plus years just directly right here in lahaina. the house that we lost was my grandma's house. that's what we call it my grandma's house. we have had that land for over 200 years. and we're going to stay here. we're not going anywhere. my family is ready to restore, rebuild. and that's what all the lahaina people need to do. we need stay home. stick together like we how we already are doing and need to keep on it. and keep the elders motivated because the young generation, my

generation, we are not going anywhere. and we are going to keep lahaina in lahaina. >> will: hawaii is not hawaii without the hawaiians. while you lost your home, you know, you are so dedicated to making sure that whatever comes next lahaina reflects the people, the culture that made hawaii. >> yes. lahaina is lahaina because of the people. and i'm speaking here but there's everybody -- our community is solid, yeah? i want to thank all the community members. all the lahaina people and the appealy kahana and other neighborhoods of mauly, they are coming together. we ever proving there is hope in this world, yeah? we are proving that our leadership should be following our path, you know? how to move forward, you know? and how to help each other out. >> will: what do you think of the leadership in maui and in the united states? >> it's been slacking for sure. majorly. leadership has been slacking.

they just haven't been giving us hope or proven to us like you guys are doing what needs to be done, you know? all over the states, especially here in hawaii, you know. you need to step it up and just prove it right now. prove that lahaina is going to come first right now. the people of lahaina will not get displaced, that you will be there with us walking to restore this beautiful town, yeah? the capital of hawaii. we need them, you know. let's clash, collectively. >> i'm really sorry for what you have lost but i'm so blessed you are here with us stillner in west maui. >> i want to thank jesus christ for saving my life and family's life. to be alive right now is a blessing. >> will: thank you etan. back to you in new york. ainsley: what an amazing attitude. the pictures of the blue house grandmother's house before and after and his family? >> will: yeah that, blue plantation he calls it his

grandmother's house. not just etan's family. it's the entire neighborhood. honestly, ainsley it's the story of lahaina is that multi generational over a century culture of hawaiians. >> steve: looks like all the houses in that part of hawaii. etan does have a go fund me page. it is go fund me.com/maui fire right there. go fund me.com/maui fire. >> will. >> steve: thank you very much for getting up and being with us at 137 lahaina time. thank you. >> brian: now let's check in with senior meteorologist janice dean with the fox weather forecast. >> janice: what a beautiful interview and, of course, our prayers going out to all of the wonderful citizens of maui and, of course, the hawaiian islands as well. we have multiple fires that are still burning by the way warm today, temperatures into the 80's, 90-degree range and with the humidity it's going to feel in some cases oppressive for

hopefully the rebuild. the seasonal temperatures are close 90 degrees and with the humidity it's going to feel higher than that the wind gusts thankfully have come down. we observed winds in excess of 08 miles per hour on the western part of maui and we have rain in the forecast, which will be helpful for firefighters; however, we are not getting it into lahaina on the western side of the mountains. eastern side getting rain but not the beneficial rain that they really need to help firefighters get the upper hand. we have been into a drought certainly in this region for the last several weeks. we are hoping to get more rain in the forecast. i want to point out we do have a tropical storm that is south of the islands. this will not impact the islands at all because it's going to be weak and we are not going to feel those wind gusts of a hurricane we will monitor that. the pattern in place to spread the wildfires so rapidly.

we don't have the same weather pattern in place today. so that's the good news. to say impact from greg and those winds will lessen in the days to come and hopefully some rain to come. steve, ainsley and brian over to you. >> steve: that's the silver lining part. thank you very much. >> ainsley: back to 2022 story former president trump is indicted once again and look who is weighing in. >> the only satisfaction may be that the system is working. justice is being pursued. >> ainsley: jason chaffetz going to react to that coming up next. my active psoriatic arthritis can make me feel like i'm losing my rhythm. ♪

documents. and nothing happened. the fbi tiptoed around her. they gave out five immunity agreements with no cooperation requirement. they did not pursue her. and she was one of the biggest election deniers out there she was out there saying that donald trump was an illegitimate president. and i have heard a lot of democrats out there say that. probably the most egregious example to me is stacey abrams. you know, stacey abrams ran for governor and was beaten by brian kemp. it is kemp that is the governor. but she has never accepted that. she talked about how illegitimate that was you compare what she said, to what she did to what donald trump did and try to tell me and convince us there is equal justice in this country, it does not add up. >> brian: democratic attorney julian epstein telling democrats to calm down. this might not be good for you.

listen. democrats are sort of celebrating saying this is a done deal. you quoted what hakeem jeffries said. this is part of criminal activity part of the criminal ongoing activity. that's a big mistake for democrats. makes them look political. reinforces the argument that trump has made that this is all a witch-hunt. >> brian: he sees warning. do you talk to many democrats that feel the same way? not many because they seem to smile and snicker and seem to feel so good about it. when the "the washington post" talks about how impeachment has begun on day one of his presidency, literally when donald trump was inaugurated, you kind of think that maybe the fix is. in that's all they are going to try to do is tear him down go after maga republicans as if there are tens of millions of people who don't love their country. and to continually go after the press conference last night,

middle of the night. not a lot of confidence in this prosecutor. puts out a fictitious article, a fictitious one on their website all of a sudden it pops up later and then she is doing this thing at 10:00, 11:00 at night? it makes no sense, brian. because there is unequal application of justice. that's the rub. that's -- they don't go after the democrats with the same vigor that they do republicans. >> brian: the problem with her, willis, fani willis, she had a fundraiser for one of the opponents who is actually a target of this investigation. so she had a fundraiser for the opponent while she is prosecuting somebody that was just named last night. and she also goes on a photo shoot right before this, panics, i guess, when they had the premature release that reuters reported and then have this 11:00 announcement yet two and a half years and wait to 11:00 on a monday to announce it and then she puts out a meme, re-tweets a

meme about lindsey graham. does anyone think she is an arbiter of justice? >> yeah. it's hard to believe that she is serious. they put out this document before the grand jury has voted. so the grand jury has voted. she has already put it out there and then calls it back and says it's fictitious. it made no sense and, again, she was doing fundraisers, sending out fundraising email in the last couple of days right before this? and why did they have to wait two and a half years. more than two and a half years they are going to do this and say oh, i want to have the trial in february of next year right smack in the middle of the elections, the primary election? again, there's just no confidence. and why in the world did you not go after a single democrat for the same charge. stacey abrams, she is the example number one. >> she would not confirm or deny that she is cla collaborating wh

ever heard come out of tiktok ever. because most of it is pure garbage that's on there. this is actually something that is inspiring. the only problem is book tock now, tiktok realizes the power of this so they have launched their own publishing arm. so they are going to then bytedance the chinese company behind, this they will be the one churning out the books trying to reverse engineer. this i don't have much hope for that because the truth is what these girls their interest is what gets popular not whether a company in china or here come up with. >> steve: okay. kurt the cyberguy. kurt, thank you very much. check out cyberguy.com and check out who is coming up on the rest of this "fox & friends" in the next hour. ♪ (bridget) with thyroid eye disease i hid from the camera. and i wanted to hide from the world. for years, i thought my t.e.d. was beyond help...
