8:00 am
>> a devastating earthquake in morocco. 7.2 magnitude, killing at least 1,037 people in morocco. it's near the-- it was near the marrakesh, which is where a lot of tourists go, including a lot of american tourists. we're on the lookout for americans that may be stranded there, but again, the key of the story is that over a
8:01 am
thousand people have been killed, many more injured and missing. we still don't know the details of the devastation. we're seeing some incredible videos coming out of social media of the earthquake as it happened. this is one that you're looking at right now. again, marrakesh, a big tourism center in morocco. just devastated by this. in a moment you're going to see the actual destruction of a building itself. rescue crews are searching through the rubble right now after that earthquake. again, in marrakesh. sadly, so far, we know of at least a thousand people dead, hundreds more injured. we now want to bring in on the phone, dr. al sharkawi, he's with the federation of red cross, and we know 1,037 have
8:02 am
been killed. if you know, how many are missing? >> it is very hard to give that number. we are in the middle now of the most critical search and rescue. many villages have not been accessed yet. these are remote, mountainous regions and road are blocked. they've been blocked by landslides. the region is such, we estimate that 300,000 people have been affected, meaning lost homes or homeless tonight, are needing some form of assistance. aside from those who may be under rubble and are needing the search and rescue efforts, plus the emergency medical care. david: now, doctor, of course-- >> we're working on multiple, multiple. david: one of the things that's so frightening in these cases are aftershocks, have there
8:03 am
been any aftershocks and are you expecting them? >> yes, there has been in the last four hours, two aftershocks that have registered. and those are extremely unnerving. they rattle people and get everybody as close to what they're doing, including the rescuers. david: and finally, i'm sorry to rush you, doctor, but we're looking now at video of attempts to get people out of the rubble. what's the situation with the hospitals? i can only imagine how full they must be and particularly, if any of the hospitals themselves have been destroyed. i think we might have lost the doctor. well, our thanks to the doctor and you can imagine what's happening now, trying to attend to the injured that are-- and those still in the rubble.
8:04 am
the united states and president biden have been assessed of the situation there and they are pledging support. in fact, worldwide communities around the world are now pledging support to help the people of morocco to get out of that devastation. it's a horrible situation. we'll keep you updated throughout the day on fox. now, shifting gears to legal troubles mounting on two fronts here at home. this week we learned special counsel david weiss intends to seek an indictment against hunter biden. we're hearing that the georgia special grand jury looked at even more trump allies. alex. >> let's begin with the president's son, these new charges are expected to come by the end of the month. it's not exactly clear at this point what charges, exact charges that special counsel david weiss would bring. according to the new york post, the potential indictment could be used to leverage a new plea
8:05 am
deal. hunter biden's attorneys say the previous agreement must be honored. >> as much as the facts cooled the prosecutors it looks like the heat put on by the republican congressmen who want to interfere in the normal course of what the justice department does puts up the heat. >> and byron donalds told maria bartiromo that the heat was turned up for the sake of transparency. what changed here is transparency, not politics. the fact that people of our country now understand that hunter biden was getting the sweetest deal known to man because his daddy is president of the united states, it's that simple. >> well, heading south to georgia now. it was revealed yesterday that the grand jury in former president trump's alleged interference case alleged criminal charges against trump allies on top of the 19
8:06 am
including former president trump. the others were not ultimately charged in this, but they did include republican senators at the time kelly loeffler and david perdue and lindsey graham that spoke out yesterday. >> if it ever becomes impossible or politically dangerous or legally dangerous for a united states senator to call up people to find out how the election was run, god help us all. the next election, if i have questions i'll do the same thing. >> senator graham added in 2020 he did due diligence and ultimately did not find any evidence of voter fraud. david. david: all right. alexandria, thank you very much. in the fallout of the legal drama going on, attorney general and uc law professor john hugh. thank you for being here. i want to begin with the hunter biden problem. it appears he's facing indictment, we don't know all the details, but appears it's going to be on the gun related
8:07 am
charge. the question why, why this happened so quickly and the entire investigation by david weiss against hunter took five years. here is what andy mccarthy our colleague said about the whole thing, david weiss made the indictment announcement because he had no choice. he'd still love to bury the gun charge the same way he's buried the significant aspects of the probe he's been trusted with, namely the biden family business of cashing in on joe biden's political influence. in other words, he's trying to bury that connection in investigating hunter. do you agree? >> in a way. i think what you're seeing is the shortcomings of the investigation. i agree with andy completely on that, that the financial investigation has been slow-walked and it should be, in fact, accelerated and the only reason we're seeing progress is because of the pressure by the house. the firearms charge is very simple, hunter biden lied on a form. he was caught.
8:08 am
he wasn't supposed to have the guns. it's a straight forward case, easy to prove. could have been done years ago. so, i worry that the justice department here is displaying the firearms charge to distract everybody from the really serious issue. the firearms charge in terms of the public interest is not that important. what's important is getting to the bottom of hunter biden's influencing, or being influenced by foreign governments, the payments, whether he was trying to use his father's influence in politics and the economy to advantage foreign partners. david: there's no other explanation why he was getting so much money from these people. the you have to look at it in context of the irs whistleblowers who said every time they saw a road leading towards george -- towards joe biden, they were waived off. told don't do it. that's what they were charging david weiss and maybe why it
8:09 am
took five years to get to the gun charge as you say could have been decided years ago in a couple of weeks, it was so obvious. do you think all of this is kind of supporting what the irs whistleblowers were saying, that, in fact, there was an attempt by david weiss to ward off anybody from making that connection between joe biden and his son? what joe biden was doing as vice-president and the business that hunter was doing? >> any normal investigators would have run as fast as they could have to get their hands on the information here and effectively david weiss and his aides said, why don't you take your time? why don't you take a little stroll, or why don't you just stop completely? the problem here, and the justice department has not got around to this yet, the problem here, you have a natural conflict of interest when the justice department which works for joe biden is investigating hunter biden and maybe even joe biden. the answer is to bring someone from the outside to become the special counsel, like robert
8:10 am
mueller was brought in to investigate president trump. not to give it back to the same attorney that caused the problem in the first place. david: let's switch to the indictment in georgia. how could they indict 19 -- have a trial with 19 people, it's crazy. but turns out the grand jury was ready to indict 20 more people including lindsey graham. he stood up for himself, obviously. and heard the sound bite, he had a right to challenge the election, in fact, a duty to challenge an election and that's not insurrection, that is not election interference. what do you think? >> this shows how out of control the original investigation was by d.a. fani willis. not only are they not paying attention to the right balance between the state governments and the federal government, they're ignoring the free speech and first amendment protections for regular political activity. look, here you've got a d.a. who is now trying to prosecute
8:11 am
the head of the executive branch, the president. she's now thought about, maybe she still will, indict senators in the u.s. congress. maybe she's going to go after the u.s. supreme court next. chief justice john roberts better lawyer up. david: don't give her any ideas, john. very quickly, a thought on the 14th amendment, a lot of people say that can be used to prevent donald trump from running for office because of what the 14th amendment says about insurrection and if you're an insurrectionist, et cetera. remember, donald trump has not been indicted on insurrection, so is that charge kind after phony charge? >> look, this is still part of the constitution. the constitution and the 14th amendment as you said allows the disqualification of someone who participated in an insurrection, but it can't be anybody in the entire country can decide that and take it into their own hands. it's got to be, i think, a branch of the federal government. the senate acquitted president
8:12 am
trump of insurrection and the special prosecutor chose not to prosecute. david: if jack smith had the evidence that he was guilty of insurrection, you know he would have been indicted for that. john, we've got to leave it at that. we got three things it, very good work. i appreciate you being here so concisely. democrats versus republicans, a looming shutdown over the budget is putting the g.o.p. at odds with each other. forget the football players, the fans are looking to score this season. wait until you hear how many millions of you plan to bet on nfl games before the first kickoff. we put our arm around the veterans. i think the veteran out there needs to refi his home, he may want to purchase and we can help them and provide that financial solution for them and their families. it's a great, rewarding feeling. everybody in the company, they have that
8:13 am
deference and that respect and that love for the veteran that makes this company so unique. i'd like to take a moment to address my fellow veterans, because i know so many of you have served our country honorably. one of the benefits that we as a country give you as a veteran is your eligibility for a va loan, which that you buy a home with no down payment. now, there's no reason to rent when you can own. helping veterans buy homes. that's newday usa.
8:14 am
(vo) sure you can get data everywhere but do you have to use it all the time? that's not really you. with tracfone, you get great coverage all on nationwide 5g. for a lot less. plans start at $15 a month no-contract. tracfone.
8:15 am
you've worn many hats, from past jobs in fact. now, you can trade in those hats to help earn your grad cap! your past experience can help you earn your degree faster and for less. >> well, here we go again. another looming threat of a partial government shutdown. lawmakers have until the end of the month to reach an agreement on the budget and it's not just republicans and democrats at odds.
8:16 am
g.o.p. is gearing up for a potential fight between house speaker kevin mccarthy and the freedom caucus. aishah hasnie has more. aishah: we're now 11 legislative days away from a possible shutdown between the democrats and the republicans, and they're blaming each other if it happens. on monday, the senate begins voting on the first of 12 appropriations bill. that's going to send the message that the senate is united on spending levels set by president biden and speaker mccarthy back in may. both senate leaders chuck schumer and mitch mcconnell seems to believe that the unity gives the upper chamber the upper hand in any funding talks. meanwhile, the house returns next week to a bit more chaos. the house appropriations committee will start marking up their spending bills at lower spending levels. speaker kevin mccarthy will try to pass a short-term spending bill, an extension, so to speak, to avoid a shutdown, but he awaits a long list of demand
8:17 am
from his own conference. some want to trim spending and others want to ensure that ukraine funding is tied to disaster relief and pressure for an impeachment inquiry into president biden and the house is demanding among other things, border security. >> you're going to address the border or you're going to have a massive fight on your hand in the house of representatives. we're not going to tolerate this anymore. >> let me implore my house colleagues, follow in the senate's example when you return next week and work with democrats in a bipartisan way so we can avoid a costly, pointless, and very harmful and unnecessary government shutdown. we do not need to go down that road and we cannot follow the lead of mindless few who believe a shutdown is a good thing and who want it and who openly admit they want it. they're hurting the american people, plain and simple. >> and get this, the bipartisan
8:18 am
problem solvers caucus so anxious over this, it sent a letter to the four congressional leaders, hyper partisanship has hurt the process. in a spirit of bipartisan every single day until a solution is reached. we'll see if that happens. david: we have no choice. let's politico reporter daniel lippman. thank you for being here from politico. let me ask you, it's not just the freedom caucus against mccarthy, it's also the senate against the house including mcconnell. what's happened, schumer added a lot of stuff in the bill, it's sort of a supplemental bill and he's linked it to funding of ukraine, which senator mcconnell wants very badly. that led kim strassel to say the following about what's going on, mr. mcconnell is
8:19 am
taking the bait, she says, signing up to help mr. schumer ram the whole package down the house's throat. so, essentially, the senate even a republican, is working against the best interests of republicans in the house. what do you think? >> yeah, mcconnell has described this as a big mess, but he has been very pro ukraine for many years and he doesn't like how the house republican conference has become isolationist and kind of skeptical of helping out ukraine, but i think the house republicans are only listening to their constituents who are kind ever tired of funding the ukraine war. it seems like it's getting into a stalemate, but there definitely is this tension where the senate feels like they're much more rational than the couple of rabble-rousers in the house. david: by the way it's $24 billion in extra ukraine spending that's in the proposal. so how does speaker mccarthy thread the needle here to avoid
8:20 am
a shutdown? >> well, what mccarthy is going to try to do and what he's been saying, if you do a shutdown, then you're going to hurt the cause of impeaching president biden potentially, because all of the national attention is going to be on the shutdown, how long will it last, who is getting hurt, you know, poor people, not being able to get food stamps and it's not going to be on the impeachment effort. and so, he is basically saying, if you want to get some impeachment then we have to do the short-term funding bill. and democrats are saying, hey, if we followed house republicans, then we would have, you know, $11 for fruits and vegetables for those food stamp recipients per month and so, a lot of americans would think that's draconian in terms of some of those proposals. david: daniel, where you go. i want to switch to presidential politics.
8:21 am
south dakota governor kristi noem just endorsed president trump, it's a small state, a pretty high profile nationally. what is the endorsement. >> it's not like trump is lagging in the polls. it's kind of an audition by nome to be the vp candidate if he begins in 2024. something i remember about nome and trump, when she last saw him during his presidency, she gave him a mini mt. rushmore with trump's face on it. so she clearly knows how to win his heart, i guess. david: i think you're right on that one. daniel, great to see you. thank you so much for being here. >> thank you, david. david: president biden is meeting with world leaders this weekend at the g20 summit where talks of more funding for ukraine is on the table and other leaders prepared to send
8:22 am
more money to the ukraine. will they or won't they? and with potential strikes at major u.s. automakers looming, could that have car prices soaring? we're on that. gether. burger and fries... soup and salad. thank you! like your workplace benefits and retirement savings. with voya, considering all your financial choices together... can help you make smarter decisions. for a more confident financial future. hey, a tandem bicycle. you can't do that by yourself. voya. well planned. well invested. well protected.
8:23 am
8:24 am
8:25 am
>> and back to the g20 summit where world leaders are focusing the global economy and rising global tensions. peter doocy is travelling with the president in new delhi. >> president biden is nothing if not consistent. the man loves trains and he popped up in new delhi to help announce a new rail project that's going to connect the host country india, to the
8:26 am
middle east and europe. >> this as someone once said in a similar domestic action that was positive, this is a big deal. this is a real big deal. >> president biden also said tonight it would have been nice if xi showed up, but that he's having a good summit anyway. a big joint statement from all the leaders a settlement distinct win for russia, the g20 is not calling them out for being aggressive from ukraine and updated language from the last summit. it doesn't say war against ukraine anymore, just war in ukraine. president biden has seen the saudi crown prince and had a chance to ask part of the president's travelling party, if he was going to ask mbs for help in bringing gas prices down at home. >> he'll have students he'll have opportunities, and he's making sure the prices go down
8:27 am
for the american consumer and shoring up global semi, even if it means coming into the strategic reserve. >> there's no volodymyr zelenskyy here in new delhi. we got some information from the white house that they supported him coming even though ukraine is not part of the g20, but he did not wind up making the trip and we're told the reason there is no explicit condemnation of russia in the joint statement is because there were just a lot of different ideas among the 20 leaders gathered here in new delhi what exactly is going on at this point in the ukraine-russia war, david. david: i would not like to be the one who tries to tame all of those leaders and coming out with one message. that's an impossibility. peter good to see you, my friend. thank you very much. with world leaders at least agreeing to the message that nations should not use force to gain new territories, they still have a lot of differences when it comes to the war in ukraine. how does this play out on the
8:28 am
world stage, but more importantly here at home? david is a retired u.s. army general and fox news contributor. great to see you. let me start with a large picture that most americans want to see the answer to and maybe there is none. does this war have an end-game? and what is it? >> well, you know, wars by nature are sort of complex, both political and military endeavors and this one is no different. what we have going on right now is the counter offensive by ukraine that's been going on for a couple of months. they have had a couple of penetrations on the russian lines, but what ukraine is now doing, is they're trying to exploit those penetrations by moving large numbers of conventional forces to follow up and to make those sustainable and that's the key part and that's in many ways a most difficult part of war. it's not getting intermittent
8:29 am
victories, but it's turning those into sustainable gain. which if i was russia, i would be concerned because russia was never able to do that in their push to kyiv or any other action. what the ukrainians are doing, trying to turn into a sustainable gain some of the successes they've had in the counter-offensive and this is not overnight. david: i know that wagner thing was yesterday's news, but it shows that there's some turbulence within the russian military. you can't have thousands, maybe even tens of thousands of bodies coming home from a war that you don't know that much about without some turbulence in russia. when will the russian military say enough? >> you know, that's a good question. just having commanded a large formation in combat, one of the things that you always try to do as a leader is keep your soldiers informed so that rumors don't spread, so that
8:30 am
people are confident in what's going on and i think this is a very slow erosion in the confidence of the average russian soldier, not only in the strategy, but their immediate leaders. again, that wears on you and again, i would not be happy with that if i were commanding a formation like that. david: all right, i want to switch gears to china and iran because apparently they are working together, china needs oil as they always do, and iran has a lot of it. in fact, iran has been-- is now up. they've increased their exports to two million barrels a day and the u.s., we just got word, it happened a couple of months ago, but the u.s. seized a ship that was going from iran to china with a million barrels on it. a million barrels of oil. is there the potential of some conflict between the u.s. and china or the u.s. and iran now as a result of these shipments? >> well, there's always a
8:31 am
potential for friction because there's always going to be friction because china is sort of the ultimate country when it comes to taking advantage of world events and so, china is perfectly happy to have the west, the u.s., and russia, for that matter, engaged in ukraine, dealing with what's going on in that part of the world while they will be the opportunists of the world and take advantage of other activities. so in this case, they were opportunists with russia, getting cheap energy from them. they are opportunists with iran. china will take advantage of whoever they can for their own benefit. so if i was iran, i would not think they're doing it for their benefit. david: and we are kind of turning a blind eye to it because we want oil prices to come down. the more iran produces there's a possibility that might happen although russia and saudi arabia. thank you for your perspective. appreciate it.
8:32 am
breaking news on the massive earthquake in morocco and we'll talk to a soccer coach.
8:33 am
8:34 am
8:35 am
>> my name is steve doocy. they say that people vote for a candidate who they want to have a beer with. well, we don't have a beer tap, but we have a coffee pot. pretty much everybody who has
8:36 am
either run for or won the white house has actually stopped by fox and friends because sometimes the road to the oval office starts with a cup of coffee on the curvy couch. >> well, we are continuing to follow up breaking news out of morocco this morning. rescue crews are still searching through the rubble right now after a massive 7.2 earthquake near the city of marrakesh. the u.s. geological survey now says 6.8 magnitude, but it did massive damage, over a thousand killed that we know of so far and many more are missing. joining me now on the phone is t tom, head coach of the gambia national soccer team and survived in marrakesh. tom, thank you for being here. we don't know how long our connection will last. tell us where you were and what you saw at the time the earthquake hit.
8:37 am
>> yeah, i'm with gambia. we were to play in morocco, in marrakesh and yesterday night local time, i was in my room at my bed, and something very loud at my door and i thought a second -- for a few seconds, the earthquake and the lights were turned off. (inaudible) >> and very long, but 30 seconds and then i decided to run out of the hotel. and the main square and my
8:38 am
players and others. david: tom, i'm so sorry as you might guess, the connections are not very good right now because of the devastation. we're having great difficulty hearing you, but we really wish you the best. i wish we had a better connection, unfortunately we don't and we will have to move on, but know that our prayers and efforts for the people there ongoing. sam saintfiet. the danelo cavalcante, they're still looking for them. the person on duty was fired. and nate foy with the latest on the ground. nate. >> hey, david, so the search perimeter has really shrunk in the past day or so after that
8:39 am
sighting that you mentioned of danelo cavalcante. it was between eight and 10 square miles and now it's under one square mile longley focused on longwood garden. the state troopers are blocking the entrance to it behind me. this comes after the sightings, actually two reported sightings in the gardens yesterday and the trooper tells me one was in the southwestern portion of the gardens, which is where we are right now and as you might guess, state, local, federal authorities using every resource they have. horses, dogs, helicopters, again, circling in the air and pennsylvania state police are confident they are going to get their guy. listen to this. >> i'll let you know when we catch him. i feel like-- i feel like we have been making a very methodical -- taking a very methodical approach to the whole search and i think that one of these tactics that we're using will ultimately be
8:40 am
successful. >> meanwhile, david, the tower officer on duty during the escape is out of a job. he was originally put on administrative leave and then fired and failed to report it. no one knew about it until they came from the exercise yard. he's accused of murder in his home country of brazil in 2017 and set to serve life in prison for murdering his girlfriend in pennsylvania in 2021. troopers believe they are closing in on cavalcante. i was told that last night. obviously he's out there right now and we'll see if today is the day that they can finally end that manhunt on day number 10. david: nate, i can only imagine. what are the people feeling? what are they being told to do, the residents of the area? >> well, the residents are being told to lock their doors, lock their cars because officials really want to make
8:41 am
sure that cavalcante doesn't get any more supplies. as for the general feeling in the community, there's a lot of frustration because remember, david, another inmate escaped this same prison using the same method just months prior. so, a lot of people are really frustrated. we're now well into the second week and everybody is just waiting for cavalcante to be caught. >> by the way, quickly, you may not know the answer to this, forgive me, do we have any idea whether he has a weapon. we know he's stolen certain items to help him in the wilderness. does he have a weapon as well? is that a possibility? >> we don't know if he has a weapon, david. we do know that he has multiple bags, a duffle bag and a bac backpack. and unknown what's inside. police are investigating two burglaries, but haven't connected them to cavalcante. it's difficult to know what he
8:42 am
has. other than a new sweatshirt what we've seen on the trail cameras in the gardens. and it's a dangerous man, don't know if he has a weapon. accused murder in brazil and convicted for murder in pennsylvania. officials are ready for whatever is in those bags. david: nate foy on the scene. appreciate it. here is something you can bet on, americans will be betting big on the nfl season kicking off this weekend. the number of folks wagering is staggering. wait until you hear this next.

8:46 am
that's 73.5 million americans. it's astronomical growth in the past five nfl seasons since betting has become legal in 38 states and d.c. that's pulling in revenue from once black market sources, but not yet in big states like california or texas, where some illegal bets are still being made. >> we would like to see the department of justice come down on them. we'd like to see local law enforcement crack down on bookies and illegal machines and we'd like to see those fantasy sites offering parlays to kids to stop doing it. >> the nfl is also cracking down, suspending 10 players who bet on games last season. that hurts the integrity of the sport that so many americans enjoy not only watching, but taking a potential stake in the o outcome. you can bet on everything and anything, on and off the field, who wins the coin toss to the color of the gatorade poured on

>> the country pausing this weekend to remember the lives lost during the 9/11 attacks on the world trade center, the pentagon and the downed plane in shanksville, pennsylvania. nearly 3,000 souls perished 22 years ago on monday. one of those lives taken too soon was steven siller, an fdny firefighter who gave up his life saving others. in his honor his brother frank siller created tunnel to towers, paid off 22 mortgages of families of first responders in honor of the 22 years of the memorial. every time you hit a milestone like that, how are you going to top that. beyond the numbers of what you do, you're keeping alive the spirit of those people who gave their lives. we cannot only forget not only
8:52 am
the events of the day, but the spirit of those who saved others on that day. >> 100% right. our first mission on tunnels to towers never forget. that's how we started. honor not just what my brother steven did, but so many first responders who ran toward those buildings and up the stairs like my brother. my brother running through a tunnel, with the pack on his back. the tunnel almost two miles long. and we documented so many stories that day, they were hugging each other before they were going in the building and saying goodbye. they weren't saying, i'll see you later. let's, you know, you know, let's go somewhere in a week from now. no, they were saying goodbye. so many of them were hugging each other and saying goodbye they knew it was a strong possibility they weren't coming home. well, you know what? 343 firefighters gave their lives that day, over 60 police officers, 23 n.y.p.d. and 37

and gave his life up. david: with your permission, a story of john perry. 9/11 was his last day as a police officer. he'd done 20 years, he was downtown for a ceremony honoring the work that he did, they got the call, there's a picture of john perry, he went to the tower, went up three times, fourth time he went up, he didn't come back. the towers came down. an incredible guy. he became a lawyer as a police officer. he was actually, remember, the a.c.l.u. and used 0 argue about that, but also an actor and that's how i got to know him. he was doing some tv stuff, but i mean, all kind of people. >> now what, david, you talking about your buddy there is so important, you know, to the family, it's so important. i had a friend of mine, ace, died two days ago of 9/11 cancer. friend 64 years, six years since we're six years old. you know, we have to remember that 9/11 took 2,977 lives, but taken thousands of others who

died of 9/11 illnesses. david: so we're actually well over that 3,000 number. >> we have more than that died of 9/11 illnesses, nearly 3,000 firefighters. but how about the 7,000 plus men and women who went to war on a global war on terror that gave their lives up and bodies up. we better take care of all of these families and that's the promise that the tunnels to towers foundation, you kiss your families, and don't come home, we are going to take care of those. go to t2t.org and $11 a month and giving 22 houses to great families and over 200 this year in total. david: i want to go full circle, the memory, your main purpose and the thing that i'm so greatful for you doing, keeping that memory. the president of the united states is going to be in alaska on 9/11. the first president who hasn't been at one of the attack sites since 9/11. some people think we should not
8:56 am
ever have that happen again. the president should always be reminding us of what happened on that day from one of the sites that was attacked. what is your feeling about that? >> well, first-- >> you don't want to get political. >> i don't want to get political, he's in alaska and stay there for a while. personally, he should be at one of these sites. this is the biggest attack we've ever had on american soil. it's a slap in the face to not just 9/11 family members, but those who went to war and died and gave their life because of what happened on 9/11. this is where he should be. there's nothing more important. and that's where i will be before the sun comes up on 9/11 to for the rest of my life, as long as i can move, i'm going to make sure i'm down there saying my prayers and paying respects not just to my brother, but all of those souls. david: frank, you're a great guy. we appreciate the association and we'll help you in any way
