steve all right. ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the 7:00 a.m. east coast hour of "fox & friends" for this friday, september 6th. 2024. we are live in new york on the couch and lawrence is standing in a diner in north carolina this morning. and we will be been in just a moment. meantime a fox news alert. 14-year-old suspect in the georgia high school shooting case expected to be in 90 minutes, meanwhile his father arrested on the most severe charges ever filed against a parent of an alleged school shooter. hear the exchange he had with a concerned sheriff's officer last year. >> brian: and ice is confirming that venezuelan gang members arrested in aurora, colorado are here illegally and we were released by the biden harris administration.

>> ainsley: second hour of "fox & friends" starts right now. >> brian: yep. there you go. now it's official. to a fox news alert. in an hour and a half the teen accused of murdering two teachers and two students at georgia high school is expected to make first appearance before a judge. >> ainsley: this comes after his father is arrested and charged in connection with with the shooting rampage. >> steve: danamarie mcnichol is live in winder, georgia outside of jail in the courthouse complex. and danamarie it sounds like the father is charged because he supplied the weapons that killed those people. >> that's right. details we learned last night. now the teenager being tried as an adult, as you mentioned will make his first court appearance here at the courthouse. he is facing four charges of

felony murder for killing those four individuals in an ar style weapon. that law enforcement said his father gave him as a christmas gift. >> these charges stem from mr. gray knowingly allowing his son colt, to possess a weapon. >> georgia law enforcement officials pulled 54-year-old collin gray responsible for the tragedy that struck apalachee high school with the most severe charges alleged shooter. second degree murder and cruelty to children. the 14-year-old was on the fbi's radar last year after tips came in about alleged plans for school shooting. local police visited the home and questioned the father and son, take a listen. >> are they accessible to him? >> they are. i mean, there is nothing loaded, but they are down.

he knows the seriousness of weapons and what they can do and how to use them and not use them. it's no joke. >> well, we wouldn't be here if it was. >> i know we talk about it quite a bit. all school shootings, things that happen. >> as police are also questioning the mother of colt gray who has a criminal history. she was charged with family violence and drug possession after being found with meth. we believe she is cooperating with this investigation. and, of course, this rural georgia community is mourning the loss of four people who were killed. two 14-year-old students and two teachers. another 8 students and one teacher were also injured, but are expected to make a full recovery. and the shooter will not be here marrow county courthouse untilly but join first court appearance virtually at 8:30 this morning. of course we will bring you details once we get them. back to you.

>> steve: danamarie, thank you very much. she just mentioned some of that sound and we played it where the dad is talking to the sheriff's officer back in 2023. apparently, one of the things that the father said, the dad said the kid can't really get the guns. the kid said i didn't make those threats on discord. the officer said listen, keep the guns under lock and key and keep the child out of school until this matter could be resolved. the problem was school was already out. the father also said he would be mad as hell if his son had made the online threats about a school shooting because then, all the guns will go away he said. according to the "new york times." got one of the transcripts. >> timeline was may of last year, 2023, when police did go to the dad's house and question him about these online threats that his son was allegedly making. and the dad said no, you heard the conversation. no, the guns, he has access to

them but the guns don't have bullets in them. we are a big hunting family. i have pictures of the first time he shot his first deer this year. it was a celebratory event. he had blood on his face. which is a tradition do you when you shoot your first deer and it's a bonding experience for dad and son especially down south. but then, a few months later, it's christmastime. christmas of 2023. last christmas. and the dad bought him a gun. and apparently police were saying that's the gun that was used here on this campus. >> brian: you talked to francey headaches earlier the former federal prosecutor how much trouble the dad is in. how he has second degree manslaughter charges. now, here in georgia we have had negligent homicide, especially as it relates to children and crimes against children for many years now and so i'm not surprised that he is charged with these two counts of cruelty to children facilitated second degree murder if you will. and for that he is facing anywhere from 10 to 30 years in

prison on each count remember ainsley while he said last year to investigators there are no bullets in the gun hesitate son is not allowed to legally purchase bullets. ammunition in this country father had to not only supply the gun. did it as soon as he was captured. know the dad and what he was told. have it on audio. now we know he is in jail. mom drug problem huge issue in jail. all t problems she has had. utter definition of dysfunctional house. it's a shame no one could have stepped in and saw more urgency a year ago when they found out he posted what he posted at discord. they do these cyber investigations that brought him to his house. and just because he says he deleted his discord account and denied it, why is he allowed to

get away with it? >> steve: apparently part of it was the fact that his name was in some spots in russian. and he said he told the cops, my account was hacked. and apparently they believed it. what's interesting is there has since the shooting been a search of his house. found out he was interested in mass shootings. especially the 2018 shooting down in florida of marjory stoneman douglas high school, where 17 people were murdered. > >> ainsley: they found documents that he wrote referencing past school shootings. some of the neighbors were complaining about how the children were treated. knocking on the door over and over, mom, mom, mom, let me in and crying. and she wouldn't let the children. in another aunt said that he was begging for help from everybody around him and the adults around him failed him. >> steve: teenager story. is he going to be in court about 90 minutes. we will show you what we can coming up. in the meantime, switching gears, ice now providing information about four people

from a violent venezuelan street gang who were arrested for a shooting aurora, colorado. officials confirm they were released by the biden harris administration after illegally crossing our southern border. >> ainsley: griff jenkins is live at the white house. >> good morning, guys. it appears the white house has a growing venezuelan problem. ice confirming in a statement to fox that all four venezuelan men arrested in connection with a shooting incidents at an apartment complex july 28th in aurora, colorado, illegally crossed the border in the del rio, texas sector in the past two years and were released into the country. now, all four have known or suspected ties to tren de aragua or tda for short. including the suspected leader, nicknamed cookie monster. this comes as a denver law firm hired to look into alleged gang takeover aurora building.

found began taking it over late last year and has a quote stranglehold now. they have been engaging in violent assault, human trafficking and preying on venezuela migrant population. the reports state this a consultant for the property management was, quote: so severely beaten and stomped by gang members he had to go to the hospital. gang members resident for refusing to pay rent to the gang. and, emails reportedly revealed colorado officials were warned about the venezuelan street gang's alleged apartment takeover but dismissed the claims. now, all of this comes as dallas police department confirming to fox yesterday, the violent venezuelan gang has set up shop in north dallas and has been engaging in criminal activity. and finally, border officials told me yesterday, that this is not only a growing threat, this violent venezuelan gang, but they are now making it a priority to target them because of the growing threat that they pose, guys?

>> steve: also, he had are targeting them because of the growing priority of an election coming up in november. >> ainsley: thanks, griff. >> brian: video doesn't lie. can you sit there and say aurora has a problem. when you see it on video problem with gang members with rifles, that's a huge problem. and then we find out if you are a building manager, and you don't pay up, you end up being threatened and beaten into the hospital. >> ainsley: lawrence jones is live from the battleground state of north carolina. where immigration is one of the top issues. hey, lawrence. >> lawrence: good morning, family. so it's been interesting. you know, normally, the top issue when i go to these diners has shifted to the economy. but, when i'm talking with every individual here, everyone continues to say the border, and it's -- it's quite frightening because they are already seeing the impact of the border here and they are nowhere near the border. they say, listen, every place in america is a border state right

now. because they are busing them here. >> steve: absolutely. when you look at it according to brand new fox news poll, the economy is the most important issue to 41%, meanwhile, the only other two items in double digits are abortion and immigration both at 14. now, one of the things that you have got to figure that donald trump is going to bring up on the debate stage come tuesday night in philadelphia, is he going to talk about the many times suddenly we have discovered that kamala harris, has done some flip-flopping on important i. remember, she and joe biden both have been talking about how important it is to pass the bipartisan border bill from the senate that did not happen. but, instead, what she is doing is she is actually embracing border security, which she hasn't done in the past. her latest campaign ad shows and i think we got a graphic of it. there it is right there.

there's the trump border wall. screen left right there. >> ainsley: i thought they didn't like the wall. >> steve: i know it. she certainly didn't like anything donald trump did back in the day. watch this flashback. >> on the subject of transnational gangs, let's be perfectly clear, the president's medieval vanity project is not going to stop them. >> this president's medieval vanity project called a wall. >> talked about that wall, wants everyone to be preoccupied with billion dollars -- multi billion dollars vanity project. >> this issue is about a vanity project for this president. >> right. >> steve: now she has got the vanity project for that president in her ad. >> ainsley: flexion flip flop is crime. now she is trying to brand herself as tough on crime. listen to this. >> i took on perpetrators of all kinds. [laughter] predators, who abused women.

fraudsters who ripped off consumers. cheaters, who broke the rules for their own gain. so hear me when i say i know donald trump's type. >> ainsley: oh, really. she wanted to give drug dealers three arrests before she charged them when she was d.a. in san francisco. and this is what her police chief in san francisco said at the time. this proposal asks us not to arrest but instead detain and release, observe narcotic sales suspects. when the same suspect is arrested the third time for narcotic sales, your office would then charge all three counts. additionally, narcotics dealers who sell drugs near a school would be released after only a brief detention. undoubtedly, this would send the wrong message to observant children who, unfortunately, witnessed drug dealing activity on a regular basis.

prirch brian unbelievable. one minute against the wall now going to finish the wall. now tough on crime when see wee saw she is permissive on crime. also keep in mind, too. she also made a statement that adding more police is a backward way to think. more police officers will create more safety is the wrongs way to think. >> ainsley: no cash bail. sanctuary cities. >> brian: bizarre, run on that knowing you elliot felt totally differently in power. now tough cop. i don't get it. other thing it might seem like a minor thing. it backs up a long list of flip-flops. now, after saying for years it's time for paper straws. now suddenly open to plastic straws. remember? she said this, she doesn't support banning plastic straws. >> steve: this is now. >> brian: she cast a tiebreaking vote on the most consequential legislation to combat climate change, jobs in history. as president she is going to focus on expanding that progress. really? which is it going to have paper

straws everyone hates or plastic straws which studies show will do nothing to hurt the environment? so one thing that president trump has been saying she wants to blame plastic straws. jason miller was saying it. now all of a sudden she switches on that. here's the flashback. >> do you ban plastic straws? >> i think we should. yeah. i mean, look, i'm going to be honest. it's really difficult to drink out of a paper straw like if you don't gulp it down immediately it starts to bend. and then you know the little thing catches it and then, you know. so we got to perfect that one a little bit more. [laughter] >> i think we can do better than flimsy plastic straws but we do need to ban the plastic. >> brian: she hasn't talked to the press to explain it or amend. the media doesn't hold her accountable. just one debate. >> lawrence, a couple of flip-flops there. >> well, i'm just wondering why all the amendments to her positions are happening when

suddenly she ounce no, sir that she is running for president. i mean, is if she has changed her position on all of these issues, from the border to the straws, to crime, why isn't there a senate record she is the leader of the senate that reflects that why isn't there a push when came to these tiebreaking votes when she pushed back and says i have changed on. and so, it really goes back to the staff. the staff is putting all this out on background. she has changed on it. or they are putting statements out saying she has changed on it. she hasn't really gone on record and said she has changed and why she has changed. >> steve: it's absolutely right, lawrence. why she has changed is for political preservation. if she stood for all that stuff she said in 2019. she could not be elected president. mike allen on axios this morning sent out this note, just about how given the fact that suddenly she is changing the positions via surrogates who are

whispering into the ears of reporters, they write: harris is copying president biden's self-protection media strategy. ducked tough interviews and limit improvisational moments. with her debate with former president trump coming up tuesday, 9:00 p.m. eastern time. can you see it here on fox, harris has big questions to answer. for instance, why did president biden's top advisers routinely leak word that they found her performance as vice president disappointing or episodically problematic. also, how did her views change in five years from liberal to centrist on healthcare, immigration and energy. and finally, why should voters believe her new views are the ones she would stick with inside the white house? >> ainsley: exactly. >> brian: brian mike allen who wrote the story he has questions. he has been on this show before. why people are more curious to get answers explanations. i don't care how vote for. i just think if you do this for a living, this is not okay.

joe biden had a reason. pandemic. whether you thought he could be more out there or not. he at least could say i'm being responsible. but now, this is. >> on medicare for all as well. giving healthcare to illegals. evs, she wants all of to us drive evs and tell automakers that's what they need make from now on. fracking, she said she would ban fracking. that's important in pennsylvania and other states. and it effects all of us when you look at our energy costs. and now she is saying she is not going to do it. who do you believe? >> steve: so lawrence is down there at a diner full of people who used plastic straws. so, lawrence, if you would, talk about while the people have their flab jacks, talk about flip-flops. >> lawrence: i got sole straws, too. i'm going to ask them about that. it doesn't matter what we think, guys. it's about what the american people think. let's talk with some folks. i will start with this gentleman right here. >> yes, sir. >> lawrence: you used to be a democrat. >> i did. >> lawrence: you decided to

change. could you explain why you changed? >> i was tired. tired. >> lawrence: kamala harris has changed her position on at love positions now. fracking, now she is for fracking. she was soft on crime, now she is -- wants to be strong on crime. and then when it comes to the border, she was the border czar. soft on the border. now she says she is going to be strong on the border. do you buy any of it? >> buy any of that? >> lawrence: the change that she has changed? >> no, i don't. >> lawrence: why do you think she is saying she changed? >> i don't trust her. i don't trust anything she says. i don't trust her to be my president and i'm not voting for her. >> lawrence: i don't think you can get more directed than that let's talk with some more folks. how are you all doing? can i sit down with y'all? >> absolutely. >> lawrence: kamala harris has changed her position a little bit. fracking, the border, crime, are you buying it? >> absolutely not. i think i mean, in all honesty, i think they are doing a pretty good job of managing her campaign but to me it's a

complete trojan horse. >> lawrence: are you buying it, sir, the flip flop? >> no, i don't buy it. she is saying whatever she thinks she needs to say to win the election. >> lawrence: a lot of people feel that way. we will get some more folks here before i go. how are you doing? i'm going to talk to you. so, tell me, how do you feel about kamala harris flipping back and forth on the issues? is she trustworthy? >> not at all. and every democrat flips back and forth. once they get back in office,. >> lawrence: go back to the same thing? >> yes. >> lawrence: that seems to be the sentiments. only doing this because of election time. it doesn't look like some of the people here in north carolina are buying it though. we're going to be back in just a few minutes. more "fox & friends." coming up. ♪

[applause] went down to the grave sites, and they said, sir, could we have a picture with my son. in one case it was a daughter. could we have a picture with my daughter? we took pictures. we had -- stayed for a long time. then i left. that was it. i thought it was beautiful. >> steve: well, his critics claim that mr. trump was there for political purposes. gold star families say they invited him to join them during the ceremony. he was there at their

invitation. all right. those are some headlines. brian, over to you. >> brian: thanks so much. now this, israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu telling "fox & friends" yesterday a cease-fire deal with hamas not close and denies he is at fault for the delay. >> there is a story, a narrative out there there is a deal out there. in fact, while we agreed in july and may and july and august. to a deal and to an american proposal hamas is consistently said no to every one of them. they don't agree to anything. obstacle to the release of war is hamas. release of hostages is hamas. >> brian: joining us now to expand on this general jack keane. general, your reaction to what the prime minister is saying? >> >> i thought the prime minister was very direct and also you know, very clear and the facts support what he is saying. the reason why we don't have a

cease-fire is because of hamas, time and time again. i mean, the last time we had a cease-fire and release of the hostages was back in november. and then since december of last year, it has always been hamas walking away from the deal. and now most of their force has been destroyed but not all of it, a lot of their leaders are still alive. the prime minister has a three objectives that is destroy hamas as effective fire. and make sure they cannot attack again. he is about finishing off the destruction of hamas and making sure they can't attack again and also trying to get the hostages out. where is sinwar? the only thing that sinwar wants is one thing. he wants the israelis out of gaza and a permanent cease-fire. and that is what is holding out for. and overwhelming majority of israeli people don't support that certainly the prime minister cannot support that under the current conditions. because he knows full well they

will regroup and reattack. that's what's on his mind. and that's why the philadelphi corridor, the so-called 10 miles between the gaza and egyptian border is so important to him. even those words weren't in the last deal. it was stay out of densely populated areas which the israelis agreed to do. hamas still rejected the deal. why? for the reasons i said. only one thing they are interested. in israelis out of gaza, permanent cease-fire. >> brian: let me just say since that interview. it's come to light that sinwar's plan was to get through one of those tunnels with hostages and get into iran. and that's exactly what the prime minister brought up these hostages got out through those tunnels, we would never see him again. general, i would like to talk to you about ukraine. we know zelenskyy is going to coming with a plan to show joe biden how he plans on winning. he wants to release the restrictions from the weapons we gave them. what progress needs to be made for them to be successful? >> well, certainly, when

zelenskyy has already demonstrated to us when that is he clearly intends to put more pressure on russia, and certainly taking 500 square miles of territory in the kursk oblast better known as province seriousness of that intent. also, he wants to be able to fire weapons into the military bases that are attacking him from raush into the air bases delivering these horrific attacks we have seen in the last two weeks. it's absolutely appalling that we are restricting him from doing something like that. normally in warfare, the evading country attacks you, certainly have the right to go back and attack that evading country. i think that's what give members of the u.n. -- general strategic picture in terms of what he is about. he is not giving up this fight. he has proven that he can take the fight to the russians as well. and also desperately defend his own territory. so the russians don't take any more of it.

he needs their help, continued u.s. and european and others other support. he really needs the united states finally to come full throttle with him and stop imposing restrictions. 245 military targets are available to atacms if he could use them. that alone would be a game changer and a war. >> brian: hopefully president biden is watching right now and listening to you, general, i appreciate it. general jack keane, thanks so much. and we'll look to see if zelenskyy -- >> you guys have great weekend. >> brian: you too. speaking of the weekend, 9:00, one nation comes your way amongst migrate roster of guest judge joe brown, says he has known kamala harris for 20 years has a lot to say. we got the guys from the ruthless podcast going to be kicking us off. kayleigh mcenany is going to be joining us, it's going to be a lot of fun. stephen miller is also going to join us, casey means, co-author of good energy all coming your way if we can fit it into one hour straight ahead on this show. donald trump announcing a new

disinformation ahead of our election. causing panic in the american media. watch this. >> shows potentially have deeply integrated russia is with the nag go media. putin thinks trump is an easy mark. he would be happy to deal with him. they are not saying explicitly that russia is trying to help republicans. really that's what the documents are allege here. >> >> steve: okay. not everybody is convinced. kimberley strassel in a brand new "wall street journal" op-ed asks who is likelier to influence this election. russian disinformation or our own department of justice. rnc co-chair and trump campaign surrogate lara trump joins us right now. laura, good morning to you. >> good morning, steve. >> so, trey gowdy was on our air yesterday. so he said so russia wants trump to win. iran wants harris to win. what do you make of the warning from our justice people?

>> last i heard, vladimir putin was endorsing kamala harris to some extent. i'm not totally sure. >> steve: lotloves her laugh. >> who doesn't love that laugh. reminiscent of 2016 to a lot of people. very reminiscent of 2020 to a lot of people. no surprise you have the media pouncing all over this and insinuating in some way this will help donald trump's campaign. you are right. the question is which is proper problematic and influential here in america? and i think a lot of people would argue you have the department of justice right now in this country trying to thwart a presidential candidate and his election in donald trump. four indictments, a mugshot, 34 ridiculous felony counts in downtown manhattan, and, yet, it actually hasn't deterred voters when it comes to donald trump. i would say that this -- you are going to hear a lot more of this. a lot more hype on this. i think we can all agree it should only be american citizens and american voters deciding american elections, would he

should not ever have to worry about outside actors, about outside countries influencing our election. i will say that as well as it goes for illegals voting in america. american citizens should be the ones deciding our elections. >> steve: yesterday, the former president was on 42nd street over at chip ran anies, he was to a bunch of financial big shots about the economy and things going forward and at one point he talked a little bit about how he would like to put elon musk head up a government efficiency commit, between running some of the biggest companies in the world. today talking to north carolina to talk to the fraternal order of police once again showing that he was the law and order president and will be again, right? >> yeah. that's exactly right. as it relates to elon, look, this is something you don't have to be a democrat or republican to agree that we have a very inefficient and wasteful government. everyone sees that.

and to have the ability of a super genius mind like elon musk, to aid donald trump in a second term in office by going in there and cleaning the place up. how great will that be for we, the people. the taxpayers of this country. to know that we are not wastefully spending the things that are running efficiently. i think it's a great idea. the fact we have elon musk, tulsi gabbard, r.f.k. jr. with on the team with donald trump. donald trump was the law and order president. there was no question where the men and women in blue was when he was the in white house. he has been an ally. four rough years. fully open southern border. 20 million people probably coming into this country illegally. apartment complexes taken over in colorado. fentanyl, drugs pouring. in human trafficking. gang violence. these are really tough times to you a la u officers and you will hear from donald trump today he

knows he can stop it. these are people who want him back in that house. because people don't need to live like this. this country doesn't need to be run this way. we can do better. donald trump did it for four years. is he going to talk about how is he going to deliver it again for another four. >> steve: big event on the horizon tuesday night. the abc presidential debate. i was listening to some of the harris people. it sounds like they are trying to lower exceptions. about her performance and they are talking about look, he has been president. he has been to a bunch of these presidential debates. he should do very, very well. what do you make though of the fact that they're lowering exceptions. >> i think they have no choice. she had the softest, easiest, most comfortable cnn interview pretaped with tim walz there beside her and it was a bit of a disaster for her. so the idea that kamala harris is going to have any ability to go stand on a stage and talk about why people should reelect her for four more years after having lived through the past four with her in charge, with
