trying to look that may be a problem as well. you want to have will joe biden. look at the president today. he receives the briefing at 2:00 something in the afternoon. that is after he does one event on student loan forgiveness which at last shot that was shot down by the supreme court a couple months ago. is he still pushing. this. >> carley: also the biden administration and the campaign are pushing the dark brandon thing again. they do want to have the former president appeal to younger people and that's why i'm sure is he doing the student loan thing, too. >> joe: polling now in the 30's among young people which is a big voting block for him. that's got to be a. >> see mean girls day. dark brandon. i do think it's a great movie. >> joe: adams is the best part. >> todd: "fox & friends" begins right now. bye, joe. >> the office of speaker of the

house declared vacant. >> vote speaker mccarthy. >> new, more conservative, more trustworthy speaker. >> they are not conservative and they do not have the right to have a trial. >> glass behind my head. >> five people shot including four students do you work homecoming university. >> classes canceled today after students were forced to shelter in place. >> got report of an assault with a hammer involved. >> hammer wielding attacker seen in this video who threatened and eventually hit two people at a seattle train station. >> that suspect hopped on the light rail and got away. [chanting] >> the largest healthcare strike in u.s. history could be right around the corner. >> we need to support our unions. >> if their demands aren't met come wednesday 75,000 workers could hit the picket lines. >> as unique as the breakfast tacos here in san antonio. >> let's talk about national taco day. dozens of mexican restaurants

will be offering free tacos and discounts. >> good morning, everybody. it's wednesday, october 4th, 2023. and we start this wednesday with a fox news alert. baltimore police in maryland, are at this hour searching for the shooter or shooters who opened fire at morgan state university last night after an event. five people wounded, including four students, thankfully, everybody is expected to survive. >> >> police say that shots were ricking out on the campus as students were leaving a large homecoming event. bullets shattering windows in a dorm building. one student says it all happened so quickly. >> the bullets hit the glass behind my head. it's another day it wasn't supposed to happen, but it happened. we are all trying to get out of the way. everybody tried to get out, lay down. >> lawrence: second year in a row that something has happened

at hvcu baltimore police and fbi issued a shelter in place order as the swat team went dorm to dorm in search of the gunman. the order has since been lifted. >> brian: class at morgan state canceled. we will continue to monitor the story and let you know what happens when police make an arrest. hopefully soon. >> brian: talk about the other big news that happened and yesterday it's just stunning. from the press conference that followed from the vote that took place, we saw something that we haven't seen in american history. after 200-plus day stay as speaker of the house, speaker kevin mccarthy is now done, ousted and right now they have no idea who is next. >> ainsley: he is the shortest serving speaker since 1875. he says he is not going to run for speaker again. he is calling these eight republicans not real conservatives. only 8 of them that ousted them. matt gaetz just needed a handful of republicans to side with the dems. 4% of the g.o.p. g.o.p. were those eight republicans and they joined with 208 democrats.

>> steve: they are the hardliners right there. and you have got andy biggs of arizona. ken buck from colorado, tim burchett who is coming up on this program from tennessee. eli crane in arizona. he i am going to show you is he on the host. it bob good from virginia. nancy mace of south carolina. and matt rosendale from the great state of montana. on the cover of the "new york post," here you can see right here, kevin mccarthy, that's his picture, the headline is mccarthy first house speaker ever ousted after co coup by florida matt gaetz. gaetz from hell. finally worked to get a slim majority in the house of representatives. total chaos. and now to a lot of the country they are looking, in hey, the republicans finally got the chants to drive the car, they are in a ditch. >> lawrence: well, this is probably gonna happen anyway. kevin mccarthy was set to be speaker in 2015 as you know he did not get the votes back then.

and paul ryan ended up being the speaker. we saw the vote after vote for him to become speaker. and part of the thing. the criticism that was made during that period of time is that the speaker made concessions with the freedom caucus, and he said that there was going to be 12 appropriations bill by september the 30th, they did not happen. there was no balanced budget amendment. that did not happen. term limits did not happen. and many republicans say even the ones that decided to note to oust him that the speaker had this coming because did he not keep his commitment to the american people. >> ainsley: sorry, lawrence, he took those six weeks off this summer. >> lawrence: without getting appropriations bills. >> ainsley: everyone is upset with him those voted against him he said he made those promises so we could balance the budget or we could fund the government and that didn't happen. he didn't follow through with his promises and also took those six weeks off in the summer. what does this mean for you and

your family and the country in the house is sphron for another week until they can get a speaker in there they have to vote for a new speaker. >> steve: can't do anything. >> ainsley: nothing can go to the senate there is a speaker. slows down the house republican investigations as well. republican infighting is what everyone is going to be talking about until a new speaker is put into position. they need to do this quickly and need to do it with 30 or 40 for a motion to vacate. not just one. >> brian: as the "wall street journal" says the real motive is spike, personal. sew chaos own ranks, crazy left and right wing cheering. there is no doubt about it. to understand why those appropriations bills weren't done is because the extreme right wing of the party not going to get it done unless they got everything they wanted so it got out of committee. another 45 days to get this done. because they blew up the conservative deal on saturday that would have resulted in them conferencing with the senate you would assume on sunday and maybe avoiding a shutdown, maybe not.

okay. you are not even going to bring me that? i'm going to do a deal with the democrats. the democrats are rue the day the democrats are gone already saw the first indication as nancy pelosi is kicked out of her luxury office immediately by the acting speaker of the house. >> ainsley: mchenry. she is immediately gone. this is a guy they could deal with. they do not know how bad their life is going to be. one thing you learn from the next speaker, whatever do you don't do a deal with any democrats, do not compromise you will lose your job. anyone who takes that job and has that one vote margin to vacate is nuts. steve scalise is the likely candidate. is the favorite right now. jim jordan's name is in the mix. but kevin mccarthy, i just fascinating press conference that last about an hour yesterday. >> steve: it was at 7:30. here is a little. >> doing the right thing isn't always easy, but it is necessary. i don't regret standing up for

choosing governing over grievance. it is my responsibility, it is my job. i do not regret negotiating. our government is designed to find compromise. i will not run for speaker again. i'll have the conference pick somebody else. i hope you realize that every day i did the job, regardless of whether you under estimated me or not. today was a political decision by the democrats. and i think -- i think the things they have done in the past hurt the institution. they just started removing people from committee. i don't think it says about the republican party. i think it says something about the people who are not a conservative. look, you all know matt gaetz. you know it was personal. it had nothing to do about spending. it had nothing to do about -- everything he accused somebody of, he was doing. it all was about getting attention from you.

i mean, we're getting email fundraisers from him as is he doing it. join in quickly. that's not governing. that's not becoming of a member of congress. and regardless of what you think, i have seen the texts, it was all about his ethics. but that's all right. >> steve: you know what result ultimately had the democrats, who he has worked with in the past about a dozen of them said okay we will help him out, he would still be speaker today. apparently yesterday morning hakeem jeffries who is the minority leader, he said okay, we thought about it, let's not support him. and then what he did was he went through a laundry list of republican unwillingness to break with maga extremism is the way he suggested it. he said that the democrats were unhappy with mccarthy's vote to overturn the presidential election results. after january 6th. mccarthy was one of 147 republicans who voted that way.

mccarthy's decision to renege on the debt limit deal that he brokered with joe in the summer, and his decision to open the impeachment inquiry into the president without evidence of wrongdoing. irony is he made all of those moves to placate the extreme right wing of his party that ultimately wanted him dead. and, yesterday, they killed the king. >> lawrence: matt gaetz wanted to defend his decision. he had exclusive with laura ingraham on last night. here is what he said why he did what he did. >> as far as the decision i worked with democrats. the yellow brick road of working with democrats was paved by kevin mccarthy whether it was the debt limit deal, whether it was the continuing resolutions. >> this is a guy who was willing to partner with conservatives on the frivolous but whenever there was a spending matter he partnered with democrats. i believe we were destined to lose the house if we didn't do anything. we didn't give something to

believe. in i have traveled all over this country. i have seen the desupon dents and sadness in conservatives that don't believe that conservatives in congress are fighting for him. >> ainsley: troy nehls was saying why don't we put president trump in there which is legal. >> steve: it's true. >> ainsley: is he going to run for president sources say. >> steve: he could do both. >> ainsley: he said yesterday why is it that republicans are always fighting among themselves? why aren't they fighting the radical left democrats who are destroying our country? newt gingrich was on last night. i was watching him. he was very critical of this. he wants to get matt gaetz expelled from the conference. he said we should be focused on other things on the economy, on the border, on crime. here they are trying to destroy the entire trump family the democrats. the doj is protecting the biden family. the economy is a mess. gas prices are through the roof. there is a border crisis. 80% of the voters don't want joe biden. they say he is too old. they want to restrict our gas stoves. and make us buy electric democratic cars. and then they want to hire

80,000 people at the irs. this is what is happening. what is important? let's get the speaker in so we can move on as a country and allow those house investigations to kin. >> brian: 45 days until the government shuts down again. are you going to get the appropriations deals done. now nothing is being done. stephen miller last night as conservative as it gets weighed in with jesse. >> whether you like kevin or hate kevin or wherever you fall on kevin, the reality is that the republican party can not exist as a functional party. if just eight members at any point in time can join with all democrats to eject a speaker. if you want to be like the left, if you want to beat the left, if you want to dominate the left, if you want to save the country from the left, you have to learn from them. they operate as a unit. they operate as a team. they find their strength in unity. as a block. as a single block. republicans, everyone acts like it's the model u.n. all the time. they are also debating with each

other and caucusing and this idea and that idea. somebody randomly jump into a room and scream balance the budget for no reason at all. they need to focus. reject kevin and replace him with someone else and someone else and someone else. here is what i don't hear. i do not hear a plan. i do not hear a proposal, i do not hear a vision to shut down the open border and stop the department of justice from being innocent americans in jail for life. >> there is so much. yeah, we are going to have term limits? okay. who is going to be the first to leave? number two with kevin mccarthy same thing with paul ryan. is he teenager. john boehner he is the worst. kevin mccarthy oh my he has got to go. only with the republican house can you have 94% approval rating and not be good enough. >> lawrence: 9 #. >> brian: i was low balling it. talk to somebody next, burkett who also voted against it nancy mace because women's rights weren't front and center. we this have happened at all if

matt gaetz didn't try to blow this up. no oneish united stated with matt gaetz voted along with every single democrat to oust kevin mccarthy. waste another week to find out what was next. now that mccarthy is out and won't run again what is next for the house. >> ainsley: hillary vaughn is on capitol hill with the latest for us. hillary? >> the house remains in limbo until republicans vote on a new speaker next week on wednesday putting the people's business on pause until they figure it out. former speaker kevin mccarthy saying congressman matt gaetz who triggered the motion to vacate has a personal vendetta against him and ultimately him lashing out at mccarthy for not putting a stop to ethics investigation. some republicans now, like former speaker newt gingrich say gaetz should be kicked out. >> why do they think it was better to beat two solid conservative, continuing resolutions? do you know why they did it? because ultimately, matt gaetz who hates, let's be clear, he

hates kevin mccarthy. >> no doubt about it. >> was determined to get to today. i think it's disgraceful and i hope they expel him from the conference. >> in the meantime the big question is who will ultimately take the job, filling n the meantime, congressman patrick mchenry who is speaker pro tem. is he reportedly not interested in the job already making waves as fill-in speaker. he asked congresswoman nancy pelosi to clear out of her ceremonial office last night. she is held in the capitol saying it will be re-keyed today. one name though that has been recirculating majority leader steve scalise who has been calling republicans overnight seeking supports for speaker, is he meeting with a group of texas republican members today, a powerful voting block in his bid for speaker. congressman tony gonzales announcing last night. scalise has his vote. another name, house judiciary chair jim nt jordan could also be a possible pick if if he were to officially want to campaign for speaker. is he reportedly making calls.

getting a feel for where things stand. congressman jim banks and thomas massie backing jordan if he wants the job. another name on the list former president donald trump. texas congressman troy nehls saying he will be nominating him same with congresswoman marjorie taylor greene. former president trump blasted republicans yesterday condemning them for this inner party drama telling them to focus on taking on democrats. not targeting each other. but sources telling fox that republicans behind the scenes have been talking with former president trump, trying to draft him for speaker and sources telling fox news that former trump may be interested in the job. at least in the short-term. back to you guys. >> steve: hey, hillary, before you go. thanks for getting up early for us today. >> . >> steve: how would they kick matt gaetz out. conference. they can't kick him out of congress. >> no. they can't kick him out of congress. they could censure him and

remove him from committees. that's a precedent that democrats set when they were in the majority last congress removing people from committees. so they could isolate and alienate gaetz and do whatever they can to try to segregate him from the larger conservative republican caucus. >> steve: put him in a box. >> ainsley: hillary, it's been reported that steve scalise has been calling people behind the scenes i would like to be speaker. are you hearing that? >> yeah. exactly. he is already getting some support. congressman tony gonzales backing scalise officially. and we're hearing from a lot of the members he was a name that repeatedly came up during the several rounds it took for former speaker mccarthy to actually get the gavment he was someone who had a lot of support from the very beginning, but he has said himself he is not interested in the job. now that mccarthy has said i'm stepping aside. scalise, it seems, is interested in trying to coalesce some support. >> brian: the word is they weren't speaking much to each other anyway even though he has the blood cancer and the other situation. >> ainsley: how is his health.

>> brian: he says is he going through treatment the next few months. can he do both. he plans on being in washington. >> steve: matt gaetz says he loves steve scalise. >> brian: what we do different than mccarthy? almost nothing. >> ainsley: he has the support of matt gaetz. >> brian: wow, that's everybody's goal. >> steve: coming up on this crazy wednesday. america's crime crisis in new york city. the disturbing video of a man stabbed to death in front of his girlfriend. oh my goodness, look at him right there in the blurry shot. and in seattle police searching for this suspect attacking people with a hammer. a crime crisis roundup coming up straight ahead. >> plus, court dates clyde, hunter biden pleads not guilty to federal gun charges in delaware. >> brian: meanwhile in new york city a rogue judge orders a gag order on donald trump. what each trial means for 2024. >> lawrence: prounion joe faces seasons of strikes. the latest work stoppage that

could make history. plus -- >> steve: plus these people that that view of the sunrise. ♪ higher off the ground ♪ ♪ my most important kitchen tool? my brain. so i choose new neuriva ultra. unlike some others, it supports 7 brain health indicators, including mental alertness from one serving. to help keep me sharp. try new neuriva ultra. think bigger. with the freestyle libre 2 system, know your glucose level and where it's headed. no fingersticks needed. manage your diabetes

back with your headlines, new overnight at least 25 people dead and 18 hurt in italy after a tourist bust broke through a barrier and plunged over overpass east of venice. firefighters worked until dawn to retrieve the bodies from the fiery wreckage. the mayor of venice said two children among the dead and four people still fighting for their lives. the cause of this horrific incident is still unclear. texas senator ted cruz is demanding answers about by the biden administration is deploying air marshals to the southern border to help with the migrant crisis. cruise writing the tsa writing yesterday it's concerning that the prioritized rushing illegal immigrants into the country over protecting the lives and safety of the traveling public. air blacials asked to go to the

border on a voluntary basis last year but the deployments became mandatory later. those are your headlines, steve, over to you. >> carley, thank you very much. >> you are yeneka. pleading not guilty to federal gun charges in federal court to delaware a couple months after a plea deal that dismissed all of it fell apart. the judge ordering the first son to get a job. good luck with that and avoid all alcohol as some of the conditions to avoid defence. his turner already planning a motion to dismiss saying quote these charges are the result of political pressure from president trump and his maga allies to force the justice department to ignore the law. former state prosecutor ellie joins us now here in studio m. elliott, good morning. >> good morning. >> steve: how much trouble is hunter biden in. >> the prosecutors basically already showed their hand in case back in july when they agreed at least tentatively to a no jail disposition. the key factors there the fact

that it was a first arrest or he doesn't have a record. the fact under the law it's a nonviolent crime. the fact there is a constitutional question hanging over the statute. those factors are still all in place. even though the deal fell apart. i think the prosecutors still are open to wrapping this up with a no jail plea. >> steve: but, here's the thing. he is guilty of these. >> right. >> steve: it does appear. because what he did was signed on that form when he bought the colt revolver i'm not on drugs but it turns out he was and he possessed gun for 10 or 11 days, something like that. looks like they got the goods on him. there has got to be some punishment, doesn't it. >> there is no question that they basically acknowledged all of the elements and facts that constitute the crime the question is a plea going to cover potential tax charges or register as foreign agent. same cast of characters. back in front of same judge same defense attorney and

prosecutors, abbe lowell who is also bob menendez's attorney very busy these days. in the end same cast of characters and same fact. i do think you are ultimately going to see this wrapped up in a plea. >> steve: yesterday, at the conclusion of the briefing in the white house brady room, the press secretary was asked about hunter and this is what she had to say. >> the president's son hunter pleaded not guilty to a gun charge in court today. does the white house have a comment. has the president been in touch with his son about it. >> the president loves his son. not going to speak to any private conversations that this president has with any member of his family. that is private. >> steve: that appears to be something new that she said yesterday. i'm not going to speak to any private conversations that the president has with his family because in the past, you know, joe biden is now in trouble with the republicans because he supposedly lied to america about i never talked to my son about his overseas business dealings even though it appears that he has. >> the goal posts have moved a couple times on that one as to whether he was aware of what his

son was doing and whether or not he participated in discussions the goal post may move again with regard to the hunter biden case. >> so now i'm not going to talk about anything they talked about. >> right. it's a little crazy. real quick, one other thing. the judge down in lower manhattan imposed a partial gag order on the former president because of disparaging remarks he made on truth social about the court clerk supposedly being chuck schumer's girlfriend or something like that. he put that up and took it down. >> that's barely a gag order. will a typical gag order substance of the case intimidation of witnesses and meant to prevent prejudicial information getting in front of the jurors. if there were a gag order potential for challenging it. because it is so narrow and limited they are not even going to gor challenge it. >> steve: one other point you were talking about during the commercial. you think the president is trying to do something here. >> i have a theory it hasn't gotten much play. i think is he actively engaged in the civil case.

going to use that as a waives, subsequently to seek a delay in the criminal cases. it's a much better argue. to say i need argument to prepare my defense involved in another court case where i'm a defendant than saying i'm too busy campaigning. >> steve: sounds like this particular court case could run through christmas. >> could take two months, yeah. >> steve: elliott, thank you very much. coming up on this wednesday a biological male high school runner maine is now the fourth ranking member in the state after transitioning and competing in the female division. more on that. but, first, kevin mccarthy ousted as house speaker. congressman tim burchett was one of the eight republicans to vote to remove mccarthy. we will ask him why he did that coming up next right here on "fox & friends." ♪

resolutions. they push us right up against a holiday. well, guess what? the 45 day one is pushed right up against it. we took off six weeks this summer from august -- we usually just take off august. they decided to take over two more weeks. i feel like that's a failure of leadership. they are the ones that set the schedule. he is the speaker. ultimately but the buck stops where and diverting the attention somewhere sells just wrong. >> brian: you realize this is the first time in history that this has been done. you are upset about six weeks in the summer. did you call him during the summer and say can we get back to work? >> i'm also upset at the fact $36 trillion in debt. >> brian: is that kevin mccarthy's fault. >> it could be. >> brian: did he. >> in the rate of growth. you are not looking at the 33 trillion. that's really just peanuts compared to the 33 trillion that we have run up. you know, we continue -- if you look at the bills that we did pass, the appropriations, the one that had the cut was the

agriculture bill and it didn't pat because republicans sided with democrats. yet, they -- the defense bill. >> brian: you think. >> wait a minute, wait a minute. the defense bill that had 30 billion new dollars in the pentagon which has never passed an audit which at one time 60% of their assets. we award them with $30 billion more dollars war pitchers can spread more war around the globe. >> brian: because he didn't audit the pentagon didn't make history oust him by moving your agenda forward? here is what kevin mccarthy said but. >> i personally like tim burchett and i called tim burchett because i read his quote. tim burnt is a friend of mine which i'm kind of shocked by. this and tim burchett, in his quote said he is leaning towards no, is he on cnn but i'm going to pray about it. so i pick up the phone and call him because i didn't think he was already there. i said tim, i read your quote. you are going to pray about it

and talk about it. somehow he construes i'm a christian. i'm not going to offend. i simply read his quote back. i thought there was still an opening and i wanted to talk to him about it. he never mentioned anything when we were communicating like that. >> brian: you said part of the reason you voted like that because you felt he was mocking you so that's personal? >> yeah. and that's not accurate. any of that i asked him about the six weeks off. i asked him about why we didn't have a term limits bill up and continued down the line it was always not his fault. leadership has responsibility. the buck stops somewhere. and in the house of representatives, it stops and starts at the speaker's office. and clearly, that's not hang. and clearly, you know, you don't want to continue to make excuses for him but the truth is his approval rating aren't the country was not very high and i do not -- i don't represent the people of congress i represent the people in tennessee. >> brian: i got it. what do you think it's going to do are to the republican party and chances of holding on to leadership in the majority when it looks like you are the ringleader of a circus led by

matt gaetz who likes to blow things up but not offer any new ideas are you happy following matt gaetz? is that your leader. >> i'm not following matt gaetz i made my own decision i didn't ask matt for his approval. >> brian: you weren't going to challenge? >> do what? >> brian: if matt gaetz didn't stand up you wouldn't have challenged. >> i believe i would have.e and next minute lead an insurgency. >> you don't think that praying about it is important is that what you are saying? that's what you saring to america. >> brian: matt gaetz next moment lead an insurgency? >> listen you have predetermined answer to everything. i prayed about it. >> brian: no. i have an opinion about what's going on and you have an opinion, too. >> and you talk over me ever time i try to make a point. >> brian: all right, make your point. >> the point is we are $33 trillion in debt. this speaker was woefully lacking in leadership skills. he always placed the blame somewhere else. america is going to be better off with new leadership and that's the boat line.

>> brian: who is it. >> possibly could be steve scalise. it could be elise stefanik. roger williams out of texas. it could be mark green out of tennessee our bench. >> they all supported kevin mccarthy including the most conservative guy i know jim jordan. why are you smarter than jim jordan and 210 plus republicans? why are you smarter? >> i represent my district. brother. and why are you smarter than me? you are condemning me because i stand up on my own and that's what i do. >> brian: i'm not condemning you i'm questioning you. you don't like being questioned? >> no. the line of questioning is very negative and you know that and i know that and when this is all over with, when this is all over with, and we have a new speaker, and we're running smooth. let's have this conversation again. >> brian: were you happy with john boehner? >> i wasn't here with john boehner. >> brian: paul ryan? >> well, they are both rinos. they are not in my camp anyway. but i wasn't here when they were here.

>> so you had 15 yeses for every round you voted for kevin mccarthy but you think he is the problem? >> >> right now i sure do. he is part of it. he is part of this whole problem. when you deny that there is a problem. and dysfunctional washington, brother. you know there is a problem. >> brian: who denied there is a problem? >> you can't get past the fact we make 5 trillion and spend 7 trillion. and leadership seemed to be okay with that. >> i way you blame kevin kevin mccarthy that you are $33 trillion in debt. you get a new leader i'm sure is he going to solve everything. >> i'm surprised you give him full credit for all the successes that we h name some successes we have h. >> brian: i don't think you should take all the blame. >> why are we backing it up? we had nine months, exactly. that's great point. why do we wait nine months to do something about the wall. something about the budget. something about -- well, we never did anything about term limits which we promised the american public. >> brian: he was doing an awful

lot but not enough for you. tim burchett. congressman, thanks so much. >> thank you, brother. it's been a pleasure. >> brian: 19 minutes before the top of the hour. more "fox & friends" in just a moment. you got it! but aren't we missing something? hmmm... look who saved slider sunday again! wow... eli! eli! eli! here we go...

all while wearing a dress. >> the victims of the unprovoked attacked both in their 60's suffered serious injury. scary times across our nation. ainsley, over to you. >> thank you so much, todd. it's horrific. hard to watch. all right it. is the season of strikes for prounion joe. but what is the cost of it all both for the economy and as re-election chances. cheryl casone is host of american dream home on fox business and she walking into the shot right now. hello, cheryl, good morning. >> good morning. >> ainsley: ostart with this first one the kaiser permanente which is basically west coast healthcare system. >> it is seven states and d.c. this is about 75,000 workers. it's a three-day strike. striking over things like they want better benefits, wages. they are worried about overtime. they say that they're burned out in the healthcare sector. maybe that's a good point. this is 13 million patients. 39 hospitals. 600 medical offices. there is a contingency plan in place by the company to make sure that patients don't suffer through. this. >> ainsley: i was going to ask

that. >> big question, hospitals they do have plans in place. this is yet another strike that we're seeing happening here in this country. >> ainsley: where are we with the auto strike now, the u apartment w? >> likely going to be a adding more members to the picket line coming this weekend. this all started september 15th, remember. we have been at this for a while. day 20 and there has been 20 days. about $5 billion in losses in just 10 days from the worker strike. i can tell you that, you know, just two weeks is $325 million in lost wages. so, that's an economic effect as well. not just for the workers but also and their families but the communities that serve them. there is definitely a down line of effects to the suppliers, the dealerships, things like that. it's the economic impact is likely only going to get worse. >> ainsley: also out west the hollywood strike effects a lot of people in new york, too. we saw the writer's strike and the actors strikes. where are we now with the actors. >> the writers cut the deal with the studios.

sag-aftra they have been at this since july. talk about the economic effect. los angeles, california $5 billion lit to the state of california. think about your indicaters, think about your drivers. the businesses that surround the studios. ist talking with a friend that works in entertainment yesterday he said we are shut down. one thing to have crime in los angeles. but the economy of los angeles is really shut down. >> now the writers can take this time to write and then we'll get hopefully the actors back in the business. what about the white house? what is their stance? how will this effect joe's re-election? >> look. i mean, what is an elections really about? in my opinion it's about kitchen table issues and the economy. that's how people vote. that's how they feel. we have got high inflation. now you have got all of these strikes happening at once. joe biden has been very clear from the beginning that he is prounion. we have never seen a president join a picket library until he

stood next to shawn fain with the uaw. usually the president is supposed to be the bargainer in chief try to get some kind of connection, maybe get a deal struck between the two sides. joe biden not doing that i want to say also, too he has been clear from the beginning is he prounion. they have the white house task force on worker unionizing and empowerment. he formed that president biden has made it clear when people come to vote next year they will remember how financially hit they were by these multiple strikes. >> ainsley: donald trump is hoping for that they will remember how bad it was this year when they vote next year. great to see. >> cheryl: you too. >> ainsley: check in with janice dean for the forecast. >> janice: feeling like summertime. things are going to change the next few days. take a look at it. we are in the mid 60's, 66 right now for new york city. in the northeast feeling very much like summertime. 77 in houston, 79 in dallas. we have this cold front that's going to push across the central and southern plains that, could

bring the risk for flash flooding but severe weather and severe storms. 83 daytime high in new york. then we are watching tropical storm philippe. we need to watch this because overnight last night the computer models were showing a move towards the north and the west, which means northern new england needs to be paying attention though this as well as parts of the northeast. even though the center of circulation could come up towards eastern canada we will feel the results and that could mean more heavy forecast in the weekend. keep you up to date dated on fx weather.com. >> ainsley: how many more weeks is that? >> janice: november 30th. still ramping down. still need to keep an eye on it. >> ainsley: coming up a portland small business owner attacked in broad daylight suffering major injuries now. is he going to join us live next hour with his demands from city leaders. first a biological male high school runner in maine now ranks number 4 in the state after

maine. our next guest's younger sister competed against that same trans athlete last weekend and he beat her. teagan ewing joins us with more on that. when y'all showed up to the competition, were y'all expecting to be competing against a biological male? >> no. we didn't find out about this until we were actually about halfway through the day. it was only a little bit before her race that we found out that he was going to be come meetings against her. >> yeah. so, we want to read you the policy, apparently, the maine principal association gender equity and inclusion policy. all students should have the opportunity to participate in mpa activities in a manner consistent with their gender identity. unless such participation would result in an unfair athletic advantage. i guess the question is, do you consider this fair? >> no.

i don't consider this fair at all. it has been proven that men are faster, stronger, bigger. they have a -- they have the unfair advantage so when males compete against females it does create unfair field. >> lawrence: what are the rest of the parents saying this was only one mean meet. there is going to be more meets where the same biological male will be there to compete it. seems like the other ladies won't even have a shot. >> as a community, we feel we're not saying we do not want him to run at all. we just feel maybe there should be a transgender category like the boston marathon had because not allowing him to run at all would be a violation of title ix which is not what we want him to do. we want female athletes to have a level playing ground. that's all we want. >> lawrence: what's been the reaction to that proposal to the school district? what are they saying? >> the school districts haven't

really contacted much with us yet. i did hear the mpa had an emergency meeting yesterday. so i'm not sure what's going to come of that. >> lawrence: teagan, do you worry if we continue down this path that female ports won't exist? >> i do, yes. if we continue. we are advocating for men to dominate female sports. and that's not what we want. we want female sports to be empowering for young women. >> lawrence: yes of course those on the opposite side trying to frame this you are being hateful. you want a category for trans athletes. we just want to protect female sports. we will be following, thank you for getting up and telling us your sister's story. >> thank you for having me. >> lawrence: you got it. crazy stuff happening in america. the second hour of "fox & friends" starts right now. >> the office of speaker of the house declared vacant. >> the full house voted to remove speaker kevin
