ago literally today, did you ever have any inclination it was going to be this ground-breaking and you would be famous for this surgery? about 20 seconds to you, sir? >> no, i did not. when i went under the surgery, i was just hoping that dr. job would do his job and that's what i told him. i said, dr. job, if you do your job, i will more than do my job in the rehabilitation. >> todd: a rehab that currently takes about a year. some players rush it a little bit. i know you told me in the past you are not a fan of that we will see. this is amazing what your legacy has become. oh, by the way, he was a pretty darn good pitcher. we are happy you didn't go the german shepherd second base route because steve saks wouldn't be happy is he a second baseman. >> carley: thank you. have a great day. "fox & friends" starts right now. ♪ ♪

♪ >> steve: good morning, everybody. 6:00 on this couch here in new york city. it is currently outside 60 degrees. pleasant day. it's middle of the week, september 24th, 2024. september 25th, this is "fox & friends." they moved the teleprompter. i had to remember. i was wrong. start with news we do know. a fox news alert. former president donald trump briefed on what they refer to as real and specific threats from iran as top lawmakers label this an act of war. >> consequences to a foreign government interfering in our election. this is an act of war against the american people. >> ainsley: comes as the second assassination attempt suspect could face life in prison. the serious upgraded charges that he is facing. >> brian: plus, vice president harris is in pennsylvania today to talk about the economy as trump urges voters not to buy

into her proposals. >> tax queen. they love her in other countries because she forces everybody out of our country into their hands. >> lawrence: and making america healthy again. jillian michaels was just on capitol hill. she joins us on the couch this morning. >> ainsley: yes. make us healthy again. we need to be like italy where can you eat the pizza and pasta and not gain any weight. no preservings. >> brian: they still smoke a lot. >> lawrence: why did you have to got negative. >> brian: i'm half italian. they think it's 1970s. no one is reading the warning labels. >> ainsley: "fox & friends" starts right now. ♪ this is a fox news alert. the trump campaign confirms the former president has been briefed on, quote: real and specific threats from iran to secrassassinate him.

>> brian: intelligence officials have identified that these continued and coordinated attacks from heightened in the past few months. law enforcement officials across all agencies are working to ensure that president trump is protected and the election is free from interference. >> steve: good. meanwhile this comes after the iranian president addressed members of the united nations general assembly yesterday. there he is. >> lawrence: senator lindsey graham slamming him for giving him a platform to speak. >> i think this is an act of war against the american people. the iranians are packed into president trump's campaign account. his legal team's account. sharing information with the american media to undermine our election. we have done nothing about it. at the end of the day, we know they are trying to assassinate. what are the consequences to a foreign government interfering when our election when it comes

to donald trump? nothing. that's unacceptable. what did the u.n. general assembly do with the largest state sponsor of terrorism. a country trying to kill president trump, hacking into his campaign, they invited an iranian representative to speak at the u.n. general assembly today. you can't make it up. biden spoke to the u.n. general assembly and talked about the winds of change. the winds of change are fire created by joe biden. this is unacceptable to the biden administration, you owe it to the american people to punish iran for trying to undermine our election. >> steve: so the latest briefing came to the former president's camp from the office of the director of national intelligence at the would not comment but hear about this through trump's campaign. keep in mind, we knew about this a while back that iran had hacked into trump's campaign, email and sent, you know, embarrassing stuff to the biden

camp and others. some mainstream media outlets that did not publicize it. we found out after the butler attempt on the former president's life, that apparently behind the scenes the secret service had already ramped up security because they knew about a plot from the iranians and what they were going for was essentially to destabilize the united states and sow chaos. can you imagine -- we talked a while about election interference but if somebody kills a potential president, havhalf the country would be rey mad and that's what they were trying to do according to the office the national intelligence in the united states and this would be epic. >> ainsley: the trump team has said that iran loved the weakness of kamala harris because if she is in office, they have more room to do whatever they want because they are terrified of donald trump

and his power and his strength and the trump steam says he will let nothing stop him or get in his way to fight for the american people and make america great again. >> lawrence: why is someone that is a part of the plan to try to assassinate the former president and possibly the next president aloud in our country. >> ainsley: good point. >> lawrence: i hope they were gathering intelligence while they were protecting him. i think that's particularly egregious. i don't know where joe biden stands on this. maybe this was diplomacy. maybe they want to reengage with iran for another nuke deal. now that we have these revelations and specific information, i don't know how you justify that, brian. >> there has already been a guy picked up with pakistani and iranian background saying is he looking to hire an assassin. the fbi got on top of it. gave somebody masquerading as would be assassin and place the arrest. they make no secret about it.

trying to they don't want president trump to be president. at that time they were being suffocated. the money was trying up and the whole middle east was combining against them in the abraham accords. recognizing israel instead since october 7th. things have tilted their calling out iran yesterday. look at the president's comments yesterday he said iran can't get a nuclear weapon and then he cited terror groups attacking israel. he never linked the two. it's iran financing the terror groups that are attacking our premier ally in the world, certainly in the middle east. when someone says they are going to assassinate the president. i remember when bill clinton got word shamed was looking to take out george bush 41 thanking the kuwaitis for their role. he struck iraq. where is that type of bipartisan lretribution?

>> ainsley: what is happening you? heard about the shots being fired into clarifies' campaign office in arizona. you heard about this ida who man crazy bull threatening to kill donald trump. >> brian: aptly named. >> ainsley: made a dozen threatening phone calls to mar-a-lago. the senate bill passed house bill passed to add extra security protection to donald trump's team. just has to get a signature from president biden. >> steve: he said he will sign it. we will keep you posted. the u.s. senate has just released the interim report on the secret services many failures leading up to the first assassination attempt against former president trump in butler pennsylvania right there. >> lawrence: such a damning robert. good morning, lucas. >> the new bipartisan report is 100 pages long. what stands out is some secret service agents telling the committee they had no knowledge of any threats to the former president. here is 10. other key findings to the report. no clearly defined individual

responsible for planning the security of the event, the agr building, including the roof was not, quote, effectively covered. secret service requests -- secret service denied requests for additional assets ahead of time. and failures to prevent trump from taking the stage, relay info on, quote, a suspicious person. also in the reports the lead advanced agent was told that credible intelligence exsilzed of a threat but still wrote in the security planning document that there was, quote, no adverse intelligence concerning the visit to butler, pennsylvania. the report also says the requests for counter drone equipment were denied. the secret service agent responsible for overseeing drone at the july 13th rally lacked experience and knowledge about the equipment and called a toll free tech support hotline for help according to testimony from agents and pittsburgh field office none of them were aware

when 27 minutes before the shooting the secret service room and counter sniper team was informed that a suspicious person had been spotted near that agr building near where trump was speaking with a range finder fired those shots nearly killed the former president, guys. >> steve: we had heard the trump campaign was denied aerial assets. they were denied a drone going into that event. then you just told us about the inexperienced drone operator or this agent who was given one hour of informal training couldn't -- apparently couldn't figure out how to get it in the sky. called the 1-800 number. so did they decide at the last minute, okay we have denied it. maybe we need to put something up? >> this was a counter drone system. so while we now know that the shooter thomas crooks was using a drone, the secret service agent assigned counter drone

equipment, he didn't know how to use it. that's why he called that toll free number to try to figure out how to down drones apparently. >> steve: thank you very much for clarifying that. >> lawrence: thanks, lucas. to put it in perspective at fox news we have a drone team, our flight team. they have one more training than one hour. >> brian: you need a license. >> lawrence: they need a license. they go through weeks of training for it. why are the people just capturing news for our viewers have more training than someone that is supposed to be an asset. also the thing that i just found stunning, when it comes to the threat to iran. the secret service agent that's in charge of the detail and advance found out about the iranian threat from news reports. so i mean to tell me that the director of national intelligence is not communicating with the secret service director who is not communicating with the person that is over donald trump's advance? they weren't given the information -- requests were

denied. the site agent didn't know about the threats as well. i mean we are just talking about egregiousness all around. >> melania posting these video clips ahead of her book coming out. and were interviewing her that the interview will be tomorrow. and we're going to ask her about this because imagine if that's your husband and is he running for president and you find out that the team that is protecting him, someone who was hired to protect him has no idea who use -- how to use the equipment that is used to protect him. and i'm not blaming that secret service agent because they tried to figure out how to use it. whoever that person's boss is, doesn't need to put that person on the ground protecting a potential president of the united states. >> brian: watch the perimeter of the whole event even though they knew the threat was high. if you knew the threat was high enough to put snipers in place. why wasn't that relayed to others, including local police. the snipers knew why they were there are they at every single event? they knew exactly how to take this guy out the minute the shot came out.

we don't know that level of detail. we know almost nothing about this 20-year-old. we saw few shots of his parents shopping. that's it. they quickly had to cream mate the body. really? >> lawrence: brian, to your point about the counter assault team, only a portion of the team was there. now, meanwhile, right down the street, and this is no offense to the first lady. jill biden had the entire team that was there. also, i understand they should be communicating more, but why do i -- i'm not assigned to the protect the president. i knew about the threat to iran. we knew all the former ambassadors have protection now. i don't know, brian, maybe. >> brian: they took it from robert o'brien. >> lawrence: are they giving it back to him? we knew pompeo needed extra security. why do agents assigned to protecting the president say they don't know about the threat when it's been public information? >> steve: right. we're going to be talking about this throughout the day. meanwhile that new senate report coming out of butler coming as

the second assassination attempt suspect that guy right there. now fating a potential life behind bars. >> ryan ruth hit with a new tamtion charge on top of gun charges. katy joins us now. katy thanks for joining us. original charges possession of a gun being a felon and taking off the serial number of his gun. that carolinas 20 years maximum 20 years. now they added these other three that's trying to assassinate a political figure. possessing a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence. how many do those carry? is this life in prison? >> this is life imprisonment maximum sentence if you were to be convicted on all of those charges, particularly the attempted assassination. not only did he plan this for a very long time but he took what is called a substantial step towards taking out this plan. it seems like a very open and shut case on the side of things.

barring things blowing up with the prosecution otherwise it. seems like a very avery tight case. >> brian: i also know he wrote a letter dear world this was an assassination attempt on donald trump. i'm so sorry i failed. he knew ahead of time he was going to fail. he has self-esteem issues. number two he called on everybody else to pick up where he left off. unbelievable. william barr wrote the next day how could you possibly say that in open court saying there is $160,000 for somebody else to finish the job? they said that was terrible judgment. do you say the same thing? >> i absolutely agree with that during any sort of federal investigation it's really up to the discretion of the agency and the feds what information if any they release. many times they won't release any details while things are pending like that. certainly it was a discretionary call it. seems like a very misguided call. in terms of his abandonment of the plan or so-called perspective failure at doing. >> brian: before deit. >> i don't know if that's necessarily the case. i think that's something he could raise as some sort of

defense. i think it was a contingency. he had plans to potentially flee to mexico if he was successful with that that was something that he planned as a contingency shows the greater planning of this scheme that was taken by the person who opened the box. apparently he said when he dropped it off months earlier he said okay, if i'm in the news can you open this up and find out what it's about. apparently they did and they found that out. if it was him that actually wrote it and they have got prove that he was shooting off his mouth boasting about. this now he has lawyered up and he has not entered a plea. do you see him -- is there any potential that he could actually say, you know what? i'm guilty of all of stuff? >> there are different motivations for defendants to take plea deals at different times and typically that

involves, if you are going to be offered some sort of lesser punishment. in this case, in the seems the feds have a very rock solid case. there is going to be defenses raised in any case that could involve things like the conduct of the prosecution. the investigators if there is things that go wrong along the way that weaken the prosecution. perhaps that gives them negotiating stance. for all intents and purposes at this point he will probably enter a not guilty plea and see how things develop and ultimately go from there. >> lawrence: kate, i know it's early in this investigation but do we expect other people to be charged? i mean, i'm just not buying the whole lone wolf thing. he had an orbit with mercenaries as well there is online postings, box of mystery person. why didn't they open up the box. i'm curious, do you expect more warrants to go out. more charges to go out for other people? >> absolutely. i notice that they released very, you know, limited information about what they know

about the suspect, including including the fact that he put a bounty on president trump's head. there is no information about other individuals he has been in contact with and all the other investigative steps going on. certainly i'm sure there will be more information coming out about his connection. whether that leads to other indictments that remains to be scene. >> brian: when did he assault an officer. i thought he just got out with his hands up? ains. >> steve: he aimed the gun at the officer. >> lawrence: the are secret service agent. >> brian: on the golf course. >> ainsley: if someone said don't open this he. >> lawrence: it's weird. you always open it. >> brian: the guy who hands you the box has a horse in his house. wait a second. evidence is a little different i think i should open it. >> steve: thank you very much for joining us. >> thank you. >> lawrence: election day is less than six weeks away former president donald trump and vice president kamala harris are making stops in two key swing

states. >> brian: the former president is in mint hill. >> ainsley: i like that name. >> brian: that's why i paused. j.d. vance campaigned in nearby charlotte, north carolina. >> ainsley: donald trump's trip to the tar heels state comes not too far away shared tax plan slamming harris calling her the tax queen. >> steve: later today kamala harris is expected to roll out more details of her economic plans while courting rural voters in pennsylvania. you know, apparently the complaint, we just haven't heard enough about her opportunity economy have started to hit. >> ainsley: she grew up in a middle class family. >> steve: i know that and apparently she used to work at mcdonald's and she has got a gun. >> brian: no one knows that. >> lawrence: oprah didn't know. >> steve: she has said those things though. there is a lot about her plans we haven't heard her actually say. apparently she is going to

release some more details and we have got a great soundbite we are going to play you a little later on where jake tapper said on cnn yesterday to nancy pelosi, what do you mean better if she just came out and said okay, i'm going to do these five things. >> lawrence: i will tell you what, donald trump is putting a lot of pressure on her when it comes to his economic policy. the fact that he is saying, look, i'm for the worker here. i understand the complaint from businesses is has always been that you are being taxed too much and way too much regulation. i'm promising you i'm going to get rid of the regulation and then i'm going to cut the corporate tax rate to 15%. you got to make your businesses here and all those plants and production facilities elsewhere, if you do going to be 200 percent tariff. >> ainsley: if you are running for president and want to draw businesses to america, buy u.s.a. products. why in the world would you ever run and say corporate tax rate is 21% right now, i'm going to raise it to 28%.

who would vote for that. >> brian: do you know why people on first blush think you are taxing corporations, corporations are bad. people work for corporations who grow the economy. >> ainsley: they don't understand corporations pass whatever they are having to pay extra on to us. >> brian: competing against ireland and the european union and china. not competing against mr. and mrs. johnson who are lower middle class in pennsylvania. >> steve: ultimately, that's been the democrats' message for a long time. rich people and corporations can afford it. it's the can soak the rich approach it has worked. on the other side you have donald trump and is he talking about the way is he going to be able to unlock this economic machine that's going to work out so well is he is going to have tariffs on stuff that comes into the country. essentially 10% on all imports. 60% coming in on chinese goods. 100 percent on cars from mexico he said yesterday. 200 percent on any john deere

stuff built in mexico comes into the united states that would impact anybody in the united states who buys the stuff. nonetheless, that is something he is pushing and did yesterday. watch this. >> we're cutting the business tax from 21% to 15%, which makes us the most competitive tax anywhere in the planet. but, only for those who make their product in the u.s.a. she is called the tax queen. they love her in other countries because she forces everybody out of our country into their hands. i will appoint a manufacturing ambassador whose sole task and it will be a great one will be to go around the world and convince major manufacturers to pack up and move back to america where they want to be. we will put a 100 percent tariff on every single car coming across the mexican border. [cheers] and tell them the only way they will get rid of that tariff is if they want to build a plant

right here in the united states. kamala's illegals are also crushing your wages and stealing your jobs. last month alone, think of this, american born workers lost 1.3 million jobs and migrants gained 635,000 jobs. so as we create millions of new manufacturing jobs here in georgia, nationwide, we will make sure that these jobs go to american citizens, not illegal citizens. >> brian: the one they had with president trump certain people got there the prompter is different from ad-libs. someone has to write copy and make it in his voice. that's in his voice 2500 people showed up to thereby. they are supporters. that definitely helps. i got it. not doing a bipartisan town hall or debate. he got there, he was totally his ideas. mark cuban came out and said donald trump needs his ideas explained to imh just the opposite. his staff needs the ideas trump has they are in his head. harris on the other hand look what she has done.

co-sponsored zero emissions. 100 percent tax sales ev. new car sales are electric by 2035. announces electric vehicle charging systems, clean transportation by 2030. all of her investments, all of her plans that she signed off on and campaigned on before she ran for president and as vice president are all green stuff. so, let america choose between her green agenda and president trump's growth agenda. why doesn't become transparent and just embrace her record. >> lawrence: because she knows once voters see that they're going to rejengted her. >> steve: today she is going to he will it us what she wants to do finally. >> brian: in the prompter as prized as anyone. steve see it what's in our prompter. >> lawrence: finding fought four immigrants nantucket charged with child sex crimes. oall of them released by localn- officials. n sounds off the next. ♪m ba hrowback? ♪

>> brian: back with a fox news alert. right now the idf is carrying out sweeping strikes in southern lebanon. you are looking at it. and after beirut -- and beirut after hezbollah fired a missile at the tel aviv this morning. the terror group says the failed strike was in response to last week's exploding page attack. nate foy is in tel aviv with the damage. nate?

>> nate: hey, brian so breaking at this hour for the first time israel is conducting airstrikes north of beirut as the strikes are now impacting most of lebanon. meanwhile an escalation by hezbollah terrorists this morning as the group claims to launch a long range ballistic missile it was headed to tel aviv forcing millions of israelis to seek shelter. take a look. [siren] >> nate: watch this, brian. an interceptor from israel's david's sling system collided with the incoming missile just after 6:30 local time this morning. hezbollah claims that it targeted mossad's spy agency headquarters as retaliation for israel's assassination of its leaders and exploding the group's communication devices last week. now, shortly after the attack, an israeli airstrike took out the launcher where israel says that missile came from. this is in southern lebanon.

israel carried out several other strikes overnight as well. the idf says that it's targeting weapons facility and the group's leadership. third airstrike in beirut in a week, israel assassinated the head of hezbollah's missile and rocket division ibrahim can a brise. it will continue attacks until its safe for northern residents to return to their homes. >> we aim for the operation to be short as possible. that's why we are atta attackinh great force. at the same time we must be prepared to take longer with high spirit. >> and, brian, the israeli airstrikes are coming at tremendous human cost. just since monday, according to lebanon's health ministry more than 560 people have been killed. since today more than 10 people have been killed. those figures do not differentiate between hezbollah terrorists and lebanese civilians. send it back to you.

>> brian: as you know and you talked about the prime minister has said in -- has broadcast to the civilians to get out of harm's way ahead of the strikes the best they can. thanks so much, nate. let's go over to lawrence, talk about our border right, lawrence? >> lawrence: thanks, brian. in multi-day ice agents four illegal immigrants long island child sex crimes despite the disturbing charges. all of them were released from local custody before now being held by federal agents. here to react is retired acting ice director and fox news contributor tom homan. why were they in the country to begin with, tom? how were they allowed to cross the border? was there no information about that before we decided to just grant them parole? >> no, look. i have been saying for over three years there is no vetting process. they say they vet these people. the american people need to know we don't have access to other countries' criminal data bases.

when they vet them they are vetting them n c.i. c. our system. record in the united states based on their fingerprint, we don't know who they are or what criminal they are. they come from el salvador or guatemala or venezuela we don't have access on the information. we take their fingerprints and run them we are running them against our data bases. vetting process is terrible. that's why we keep seeing criminals come to our attention by this administration. i want to add one more thing. you talk about child sex crimes. you know, under kamala harris, we have over half a million children have been smuggled into the united states, separated from their families. smuggled by criminal cartels and released into the united states. that's your failure as a border czar. let me add this. they release these feel so-called sponsors they don't vet properly. now they can't find 148,000 children or their sponsors and i guarantee you, based on my three and a half decades of investigative experience, these children are in forced labor or they are in forced sex trade and

they are living a life of hell. this administration, what they have done on the border is disgusting. >> lawrence: when we look at it, we can throw this full screen up because it's just egregious. one of the illegals responsible for, this 11 counts of sex crimes. got rape of a child, indecent assault. raping minors, a battery of a 14-year-old, battery of another 1-year-old. i mean, the list just goes on and on and on. and every single time, tom, because you're right, we don't have the infrastructure, we don't talk to every single country, especially the ones that they're fleeing, they are fleeing for a reason. and then we just give them a notice to appear. as if they are just going to come back to us. >> even when they lose their case, lawrence, you and i both know secretary mayorkas has told ice, you can't remove somebody arrest somebody for simply being here illegally. they got to be convicted of a serious offense. so the door is wide open.

look, it's not only the criminals coming across. again, we brought a half a million children in this country. that's why rump president trump pushed back on senate bill. says 4,205,000 illegal aliens a day okay. they did a carveout in that bill and people don't understand in that bill they did carveout. unlimited children. children were counted to the 4 or 5,000 a day. entice more child trafficking into the united states. president trump did the right thing pushing back on that bill. it would have enticed more sex trafficking or children. >> the whole bill was smoke and mirrors, republicans signed on to it only gave the democrats the ammo that they needed because it was a terrible bill. tom, you know that because you have been doing it for over 30 years. thank you so much for joining the program. >> thanks for having me. >> lawrence: consumer confidence saw its biggest monthly drop in over three years as kamala harris set out to lay out her more -- more of her economic plan today. taylor riggs from the big money show takes a look at the harris plan versus the trump plan.

a lot of people right now still don't feel like things are great. we could talk about a federal reserve cutting 50 bases point, half a percent. shouldn't that all make us feel better? no, it's not. it hasn't trickled in through the economy yet. into that report you also have the one in five year inflation exception. they are still elevated. it's at 3%. consumers still feel like inflation is growing at 3%. even if the federal reserve tells you or the government tells you that inflation is coming down. it's still very painful for the consumer. >> ainsley: still paying 20% more at the grocery store. >> yeah. >> ainsley: nancy pelosi was on with jake tapper and he was asking her about kamala harris. >> i get she is from a middle class family but what about here are the five things i'm going to do directly for you. is shi going to be doing more of that. >> people like to have a connection to whoever is running for office that they share their experience, that they understand their lives. and i think that's what she is establishing. >> ainsley: what's your reaction? >> i don't need a connection, i

need plan to bring down regulation, to bring down taxes, to help spurep the economy, to bring down prices, to bring down inflation. i need specifics on what you as a candidate are going to do to help me a in the grocery store, b, at my offers to help wages keep up with inflation. i need specifics. >> ainsley: donald trump was speaking in savannah, georgia yesterday. this is what he said about the corporate tax rate. he wants to drop it from 21% to 15% to bring companies back to america. listen to this. >do we have that soundbite? >> kamala's illegals are also crushing your wages and stealing your jobs. last month alone, think of this, american born workers lost 1.3 million jobs and migrants gained 635,000 jobs. so as we create millions of new manufacturing jobs here in georgia, nationwide, we will make sure that these jobs go to american citizens, not illegal citizens.

>> ainsley: not only do we have to pay for illegals for their healthcare, for their housing, et cetera, et cetera, now they are taking americans' jobs. >> we have been very concerned in the last few years looking at the labor report where all the jobs have gone to foreign born workers. we don't know if that is legal or illegal. probably a combination of both. the point is all those jobs are going to foreign born. native born workers have actually lost jobs. they have not gained anything in the last few years. that's the big concern. i thought trump's speech yesterday was one of the better we have seen in a while in terms of policy. he laid out when i drop the corporate tax rate to 15% it doesn't mean that companies are now getting a huge break. it means that they are now going to be hopefully giving you a wage, being more profitable, returns cash to shareholders, doing all of the things, investing in their employees, and investing in their people. more companies then come to the u.s. remember at love them had fled. we call that a tax aversion. bring them back over from europe

and ireland if our corporate tax rate is lower. they did it between 2016 and 2020, they would do it again. >> ainsley: that's why when you hear kamala's plan i want to open up a small business well, you will get a deduction. still you will pay more in corporate tax. 21 now. she wants to raise it to 28. that applies not just to big corporations but applies to the small businesses, too. >> the regulatory burden in terms of the red tape to open up that small business, i need that break now. i don't need a deduction five years from now if i happen to be profitable. >> ainsley: good point. taylor, thank you so much for coming on. nfl legend brett favre reveals he has parkison's disease. how his playing career could n a factor. i recommend pronamel active shield because it actively shields the enamel ♪

we all know costs are too high. but while corporations are gouging families, trump used on giving them. but kamala harris is focused on you. building up the middle class will be a defining goal of my presidency. she'll make groceries more affordable by cracking down on price gouging. and she'll cut housing costs by taking on corporate speculators. middle class families built america. we need a leader who has their back. i'm kamala harris and i approve this message.

>> sadly, i also lost an investment in a company that i believe was developing a breakthrough concussion drug i thought would help others. i'm sure you'll understand while it's too late for me because i have recently been diagnosed with parkinson's. this is also a cause dear to my heart. >> brian: with that the world gasped. nfl legend brett favre announcing to the world he pass parkinson's disease while testifying about investments he lost in a fraud scandal which he believed were going towards new concussion treatments.

the 54-year-old three-time mvp believed he suffered more than 3,000 concussions during his career only a few of those were officially diagnosed. fox news medical contributor dr. janette nesheiwat joins us now. your thoughts about a 54-year-old getting this diagnosis. what could it be from? >> good morning, brian. parkinson's disease this is a disorder of the brain impacts your movement. usually due to the gradual loss of dopamine in the brain. that's when you see the symptoms of stiffness and shakes, tremors, sometimes problems with your balance and your coordination and slo slowness of movement. we believe about 10 to 15% of the cases are genetic. some of the cases could be due to environmental factors like exposure to toxins, chemicals and pesticides. in my opinion i do believe there is a link and there is actually some studies out there that link

head injuries, concussion, traumatic brain injuries to the development of parkinson's disease. because what happens is you actually have damage to the part of your brain that creates dopamine. and then when you have that loss of dopamine is when you begin to see the symptoms. it's no surprise to see it in an nfl player. we saw symptoms of parkinson's also in muhammed ali and in very rare cases we know that michael j. fox has it. he was diagnosed at 29. muhammed ali around 42 years old. now 54 years old. we usually see it in men over the age of 60. for him to have it at an earlier age leads me to think it's from head injury. >> brian: can you tell from an m.r.i. of the brain if it looks like damaged blows brain hitting the skull as opposed to something neurological? >> so, sometimes you can pick up changes in the brain with mris,

cat scan. dome mean transport scan to look to see if there is a change in the dopamine in your brain. usually a diagnosis is clinical, meaning your doctor will -- you will undergo a physical examination, a neurologic examination. a medical history. does anyone in your family have parkinson's because that might put you at slightly higher risk. it's a combination of physical exam, neurologic exam and sometimes testing to determine if it is parkinson's or something else. >> brian: they say that alli had parkinson's syndrome. something they can give to you slow down the symptoms. >> yeah. we have some treatment available. medications. levadopa a friend i grew up frankie undergone surgery deep brain stimulation doing fantastic with that also physical therapy is critical in maintaining quality of life and mobility. if you have been diagnosed with parkinson's disease and believe it or not, brian, your diet is so important. what you eat impacts also how

you feel, especially making sure you are getting foods rich, bananas, almonds, dairy that kind of thing can help to manage symptoms. the key is early detection so we have good management early on. >> brian: dr. nesheiwat, thanks so much. seeing stars is a criteria he saw it over a thousand times. big show straight ahead. pete hegseth. will cain, julian, all separately all happy. ♪all n life with chronic migraine, 15 or more headache days a month each lasting 4 hours or more. botox® prevents headaches in adults with chronic migraine before they start. and treatment is 4 times a year. in a survey, 91% of users wish they'd started sooner.
