ains good morning to you, 7:00 a.m. on the east coast. thursday, october 3rd. this is "fox & friends." dock workers on the picket lines for the third straight day.

the big problems could be coming to grocery stores and gas stations. >> lawrence: plus, families picking up what is left after helene as dhs warns fema doesn't have enough money to last through hurricane season. but what about the millions this administration has spent on the migrant crisis? >> steve: good question. meanwhile, parents turning in their own children to the cops after seeing their kids in security footage of flash mobs. hey, that's my kid. i'm taking them to the police. and they did. >> ainsley: it's hard to do i would imagine. but the right thing to do. all right. the second hour of "fox & friends" starts right now. ♪ >> ainsley: it is day three of the dock workers' strike and union members are vowing to stay on the picket line 24/7 until they get a new contract. >> steve: businesses worry that the strike is going to crush

their livelihoods as concerns grow about price hikes and shortages. >> lawrence: alexis mcadams at the red hood terminal sea port in new york. what is happening on the ground? looks like a lot of motorcycles. >> steve: somebody is taking off. >> it was quiet like 30 seconds ago but, of course, when i'm about to talk to you guys there is a motorcycle brigade coming flew brooklyn. can you see behind me here in brooklyn and specifically in this port terminal red hook. people out here 24 hours a day seaing they are not going to go back on the job no matter what, until they go back to the table to gets more money and no automation, listen. >> i mean, we way behind, way behind the quurve on-with inflation. that's why we are on strike today because demanding their fair share. they want to receive receive their fair share of the work. industry. >> the strike is happening at

ports across the country, we are on day three from new york, new jersey, florida, and even texas. automation as you heard. so the international longshoremen's association, which represents 45,000 dock workers across the east coast and the gulf saying that they want a nearly 80% raise in wages over the next six year contract deal. they say they worked so hard during the pandemic frontline workers and want that payment. according to the demands more money and promise that their jobs will not be taking over by automation. they want more than $5 yearly wage increase, saying the members don't work typical 9 to 5 jobs. they work extraordinary hours and sacrifice time with their families, so the disruption and the supply chain is blunting, 100,000 shipping containers full of perishable items that should be on their way to stores and people across the country are just being stored at ports in new york and new jersey now. 35 ships will arrive over the

next week and those will just be anchored offshore. another live look out here in brooklyn. can you see what is going on here. they have automations. ila demands job security and that's exactly what they tell me this is about, guys, they tell me they worked years and decades. part of their livelihood for their families. they don't want their jobs to be taken away by machines, which is understandable. some of them want to get back to the table. one last thing to mention here in a broad spectrum and we are looking at politics, right? just days away now from the election. vice president kamala harris has endorsed the dock workers strike that the union bosses we have seen out in new jersey saying he will do anything to get back to the table. but if that means crippling the economy, he will do that, too. >> steve: well, alexis, donald trump and kamala harris both stand with the workers as it turns out. so, i'm sure they feel emboldened. you know, whoever is going to be president next time is on our side. but, at the same time, they know that you can't stop the march of time and technology and

everything is automating to extent. even got automation in current contract. we say no automation but we will take this much of it? >> a couple of the union reps, the ones that are allowed to talk to the media behind me, they be note allowed to. some people i did talk to though on the last 24 hours, not so much about the money. they said they're not making tons anyway. but it's about automation. they didn't say that they would pivot on it or move at all. they were pretty upset they look back to the strike on the west coast not too long ago and obviously went back to work on the west coast. they said they did not like how they signed and automation. in at this point they don't want those jobs to go to machines. that's their main sticking point that you said. that's kind of what happens with the future. >> lawrence: so, alexis, normally when we cover strikes and there seems to be a disconnect between the union bosses and the actual workers

sometimes. the union boss want the negotiation tools and all that and the union workers just follow right behind, but it sounds like this was a real strike. these employees believe what the union boss is saying. right? >> yeah. when i asked him about that because as you saw all the reporting where they are showing the union boss, daggett's house in new jersey the guy lives in a mansion. talk about remember mtv cribs that would have been all over it. massive, beautiful home. a pizza oven out there. a bentley convertible parked in the front. i asked you guys are out here standing 24 hours a day. your bottom line is going to be effected. it's you also hit with inflation and bigger prices at the grocery store and i said your union boss has all this money he said that's what happens. everyone who is important they named president joe biden and named president trump. they all have money and nice things, too. that's the way it is. so we will see what happens. they are the ones that, you know, they could end up losing their job possibly, right? we will see what plays out here.

how long they can do this. they want to get back to work and they do work really hard, right? like ainsley said earlier, they are blue collar workers. they work around the clock. during the pandemic they kept everything moving. >> ainsley: yeah. we are grateful to them. so i think they will definitely have to get something. they have to get their way in some capacity because we can't continue this. if this goes on week after week after week. americans are going to be frustrated because it will trickle down to all the families not just the people who work for these companies. thank you so much. >> lawrence: thanks, alex isis. >> steve: so it all comes down to the supply chain. we were talking an hour ago. you don't have to worry about toilet paper because it is from the united states or, you know, mexico or canada. they can ship it in via rail or truck. bananas 100 percent of the world's bananas come into the united states from other countries. so you got to worry about that. we had a guy who knows so much about the supply chain. jim nelles about an hour ago. here is the impact he observed

on day three. >> i think this is very short-sighted on the part of harold daggett the president of the ila. he should be negotiating with these carriers say let's automate together. automate in a way that makes sense. this is going to impacted a lot of people. i think it's a major miscalculation instead of getting the american people to support the dock workers, again we should all support people making a fair wage, it's going to turn americans against them. especially as we start to see problems with people getting the things that they need to recover from the hurricane. >> lawrence: i'm with ainsley, how long can we survive something like this? you know, the american public is sympathetic to causes. they want to get increases in wages. but it's only going to be a matter of time before they go to the store and they can't get certain products. and then that's where the real pressure is going to come. i don't think it's gonna look very well for the workers asking for 80% increase with people are going paycheck to paycheck in real day america, too. >> ainsley: i know, i hate to say it.

i think people are going to start christmas shopping early. because, if you have children, it's important for them to have a christmas. >> steve: everybody knew the strike was a possibility. so the big stores stocked up. you're not going to run out of toys, they say. you are not going to run out of imported christmas trees and stuff like that. >> ainsley: will they jack up the prices? >> steve: maybe. the way we operate is supply and demand. but, ultimately, how much confidence does that show that the shippers had in the administration or the labor union coming to some sort of snappy and quick result. it's only day three. let's hope they wrap it up. and everybody is happy. >> ainsley: all right. the dock workers' strike is just one of three major crises. the biden harris administration is facing. there is also the severe damage after helene. the escalating conflict in the middle east. >> steve: meanwhile, our current president, joe biden, spent 16 days in the last two months in that chair -- i think it's a

tommy bahama chair at the beach in rehoboth beach, delaware. >> lawrence: how lovely. mark meredith is live at the white house. mark? >> lawrence, ainsley and steve. good morning, friends. later today, president biden is set to return to the south. is he going to be touring the hurricane damage left behind from hurricane helene. he will be in south georgia and comes just one day after the president was in the carolinas. the president getting a first-hand look at some of the devastation while the federal emergency management agency says it doesn't know how much money it's going to need to clean up this damage. also, it doesn't know if it's going to have enough money to make it through the hurricane season which stretches on until the end of november. dhs officials say they don't know how much money they are going to ask congress for. biden critics say they are amazed that the president is making the trip while accusing him of being missing in action as helene hit. our latest count shows the president spending a lot of time away from washington. and this is not a you this trend. biden has raised eyebrows before for constant travels away from washington. when president trump was in

office he too was regularly criticized for visiting florida and new jersey on a regular basis. this week, though, the president rejected the idea that he was asleep at the wheel. >> mr. president, why weren't you and vice president harris here in washington commanding in this weekend? >> i was commanding. i was on the phone at least two hours yesterday and the day before as well. i command. it's called a telephone. >> there is an op-ed on fox right now from david marcus who writes in a normal world joe biden would have stepped down by now and be free to lay on the beach in delaware all day, which he does anyway. but these are not normal times so, until january 20th, the best we can do is cross our fingers and hope for the best. vice president harris, she, too, was touring the disapser damage on wednesday but today she returns to the campaign trail with an event this evening in wisconsin. steve, lawrence and ainsley? >> hey, mark. so the president snapped at that reporter who asked about, you know, you feel bad about not being here for that crisis? and another time he said well, i

was only 90 miles away. 90 miles is how far cuba is from florida. so, you know, that puts it in perspective. that is kind of a long way. >> steve, just yesterday on the air force one trip down. mayorkas the dhs secretary was asked the reason you are are going down to the carolinas now because former president trump went down there i believe it was on monday he went down there and dhs said no, that's not the case at all. we are focused on disaster recovery. the white house has pushed back on the idea that this was disaster tourism. instead they wanted to make sure that they had the resources to protected security for the president but also not take away law enforcement needs for the folks that are down there. obviously, they have got to keep looters out. make sure that roads can be reopened. allow trucks to get back in. so, steve, the white house pushing back quite hard on the idea that the president didn't care. but, as we saw in that op-ed, critics say this is such an unusual time right now. >> lawrence: so interesting to me -- thank you, mark.

they said that the current president, secret service, and the security protective detail it's the same as donald trump. so if donald trump is going there, why can't they do the same thing? i think it's awful of them to condescend the reporters like them and talk to them nasty like that saying i could just use my phone. that's different from your presence being there. >> ainsley: from what i'm hearing on just accounts from people we have interviewed or people that have been on social media, i don't even know if they care if joe biden shows up. they want federal money. >> lawrence: resources. >> ainsley: they want resources and helicopters to go in and rescue these babies and older people trapped in their homes. so many civilians that are doing it through different organizations and nice millionaires or billionaires or whoever offering their helicopters. brian lawrence larynx for those people for their own private resources. >> ainsley: ains they want washington to say bring in national guard or whoever can

help. >> lawrence: bring in the cavcalfcavalry. >> steve: as you look at asheville can you tell it's going to be a lot of money. here's the problem. the federal emergency management agency apparently does not have enough money if there is another storm. secretary mayorkas said this yesterday. fema does not have the funds to make it through the hurricane season. here's the problem. the hurricane season runs through the last day of november. they are expecting another hurricane. but they don't have enough money and, in fact, speaker johnson with us yesterday and he was talking a little bit about, you know, it's all about priorities. if we need more money we have to change things around. they should change things around at the department of homeland security that mayorkas is in charge of because they have got millions and millions and millions of dollars, not going towards americans, but going toward processing people who are

in this country illegally. >> ainsley: well, i mean, it's. >> steve: look at that number. that would help with a lot of floods. >> lawrence: now we are up to 640. >> ainsley: that money should go toward american families who have lost everything. >> lawrence: unbelievable. if you are going to have the policy of keeping the border wide open, you know you are going to have to spend more money for processing and migrant shelters and feeding those kids come across the border. you said it was okay for the parents to come across the border. we knew there was going to be some sort of deficit with the surge of migrants coming across the border. it looks like the administration calculate that with the request from congress. and now they don't have enough known in the middle of a crisis. it's pretty sad. >> steve: the president and vice president mayorkas should announce a pause. we're going to have a pause on all the people coming into the country illegally and processing them and we're going to

reprogram that money to take care of the people here in the united states but, a couple of reports came out yesterday, and they are very damning. one of them was from the department of homeland security's inspector general. and this should scare everybody. they said that cbp, ice, and tsa did not fully assess the risks associated with releasing non-citizens into the united states in particular, think about this. a couple of the agencies rely on people, okay, who are you? and they gave them a name. so that's going to be the name that they put on the document. that's why tim walz the other day said, you know, they are traveling in the country legally. they are in the country legally because the federal government gave them that peels of paper. the problem is we -- according to the inspector general at the department of homeland security, you can't trust that. and, it is of particular interest because tsa, people who get on the airplane, they don't

really know who they are. they just got a piece of paper from the department of homeland security that says i'm this person. they don't know. and that's why it was quite a warning from the inspector general yesterday. >> ainsley: dhs 2025 homeland threat assessment says this. over the next year, we expect some individuals with terrorism ties and some criminal actors will continue their efforts to exploit migration flows. and the complex border security environment to enter the united states. doesn't make us feel safe. >> lawrence: the interesting thing about this is you have to layer that report from the inspector general to the quote that we got from dhs upset about tony gonzales releasing the numbers about the amount of criminals, rapists, as well as murderers that were coming across. people had criminal records. they said it was over a 40-year period. as i told you guys during that period of time, it's a numbers game. the more people that you have coming across the border, that are unvetted, the higher that number is going to be.

and so on one hand, they want to dispute that big number and say it's over a 40-year period. but then you get an inspector general reported that says, hey, just a cautionary tale here, guys. be aware this is what's coming across the border. you just can't have it both ways. >> steve: the system that is in place right now, is not safe. illustrate matily is what the inspector general is saying. we can't trust the people they could have terror ties. and when you look -- look at this. underdonald trump, there were 11 encounters at the southwest border. under biden-harris it is a much larger number. and when you look at the number of people who are coming in to the country illegally from our northern border, it's exploded. because people figure, okay, all the guards are down south. i'm going to come in. >> lawrence: can we put that number back terrorists though? 11 compared to 375? i mean, that just shows you a secure border, i mean, they are still going to be some people

that usurp the system. but, when you just leave it wide open, of course. >> those are only the ones we know. and it only takes one to have a terrorist attack. 357 we know are loose in our country and we just had that iranian against president trump. >> lawrence: still ongoing. i know in politics, and you know both sides go back and forth, back and forth on the issues. there is no one that is an honest broker that believes that the -- that donald trump is against the secure border. i know they keep bringing up the bill and his actions there. but the reality of it is, four years ago, the border was secure. and now we have these latest numbers showing us a much different tale. and i think that's why he continues to win. sometimes 20 points on the issue of the border. people know what life was like under him. whether you agree with him or not. >> steve: all right. 7:20 exactly here in new york city. carley joins us with news. more bad news for p. diddy.

>> carley: that's right in a big way, guys. a lawyer for 100 alleged victims of the rapper. list of accomplices will be released soon. >> certainly names that you would recognize. there are many people people involved to the extent there is a celebrity that this occurred at their house or that they were involved or participated, they will certainly be named. >> carley: the lawyer also revealing he initially was in contacted with over 3,000 people claiming to be victims but narrowed down his client list to 120. federal prosecutors are asking for an indefinite delay in the trial for r ryan routh. the man accused of attempting to assassinate former president trump in florida last month. the judge has asked the prosecutors overseeing the cases to label it as complex. citing an enormous amount of evidence as the reason to believe for the delay. former first lady donald trump telling sean hannity last night opposition against her husband started as soon as he went down that golden escalator in 2015.

>> that's when he announced presidency and then when he won, they started already talking about the impeachment. the opposition noon had the front page story e impeachment is starting. >> the former first lady feels the u.s. has more s. more divided than ever, she is urging americans to start listening to each other. and speaking of listening, did you hear about this? at least three parents have turned their children into the lapd in connection with several convenient store flash mob robberies. that's when large groups rush into a store, steal whatever they can get their hands on and wreck the shop in the process. according to the "l.a. times" several 7-eleven locations were robbed by the same group of young people over the course of a few days. so the parents saw the footage, guys, and said that's my kid. you're going to the police station. >> steve: apparently they got

charged with robbery. ains. >> carley: i think that's compassionate parenting. you know what? maybe this will be a minor infraction. saves you down the road from doing something serious. >> ainsley: that will teach them a lesson. >> lawrence: gives them an opportunity to pay their debt to society. and when they get a little older, they can get the record expunged. you have to have some consequences for the action. i wish the other parents would do the same thing. >> ainsley: i can't believe they get this many people. remember when you were growing up two or three kids bad in your neighborhood. how do they get this money on social media? >> lawrence: there was consequences back then. and now there is no consequences. >> ainsley: you are right. >> lawrence: a slap on the wrist and now the kids are rung -- oh, that's right. in los angeles where can you steal less than a thousand dollars and get no consequences. >> ainsley: why aren't their parents? oh, it's hard to watch. there is too many of them that are doing this and not knowing it's wrong. >> steve: it was overwhelming, good for the parents for doing it. you know. if you are going to get on a

bike and go some place, go to dairy queen, that's where our kids go. just saying. >> ainsley: few chores around the house. ask mom and dad for cash and go get some ice cream. >> steve: ask for cash. they got to work for their allowance. >> ainsley: i said do some chores and ask your parents for chores. >> steve: just get paid. payday. $5 a week. >> lawrence: no freebies, ainsley. >> steve: 7:23 now. fox news alert. israel targeted in a drone attack overnight. up next, we zoom out and take a look at the conflict. how should the united states and the west respond? do we go after their nukes? joe biden says no. ♪

do. all seven of us agree that they have a right to respond. they should respond in proportion. >> ainsley: nate foye is live in ttel aviv with the latest for u. >> good morning, israel continues ground offensive into southern lebanon with additional airstrikes. the idf says they have hit 200 hezbollah targets overnight. we are learning new numbers from lebanon's health ministry that one of them resulted in nine deaths, take a live look from beirut as this particular strike happened in the center of the city, an area that's rarely been targeted by israel. take a look at the aftermath. it was reportedly a medical center connected to hezbollah. israel says over the past day they have killed roughly 60 hezbollah terrorists. 15 of them came in this next video with a strike in southern lebanon, not far from where israeli forces continue their ground operations. but, for the first time israel

is now facing heavy losses. take a look. these eight soldiers were killed yesterday in an ambush with hezbollah. here is prime minister netanyahu. >> i would like to send my deepest condolences to the families of our heroes who fell today in lebanon may god avenge their deaths. >> as the idf continues operations in southern lebanon. they have ordered 25 southern villages to evacuate. ainsley, take a look at this. it's a ballistic missile from iran's attack on tuesday. this is one of roughly 200 that were fired at israel. targeting air bases in the mossad headquarters here on the outskirts of tel aviv. also this morning, israel is announcing that in an airstrike from months ago, they were able to kia kill hamas political leader, his name is rawy while israel continues facing threats

from including the hewletty rebels who continue a drone attack in central israel that was stopped overnight by the idf as the key question remains what will israel do in response to iran's ballistic missile attack? steve? >> steve: indeed. nate, as we look at beirut. we just saw another pretty good blume of smoke or dust. any idea what is going on? >> nate: well, israel continues with those airstrikes all across lebanon, including in beirut. israel says it's going to continue attacking hezbollah's weapons' facilities which is why you see a lot of secondary explosions as well. and they continue targeting the terrorists themselves with 60 of them being killed over the past day. so the real focus right now is in southern lebanon where there was a lot of close ground combat. unfortunately that's where those 8 soldiers were killed yesterday, the airstrikes continue across the entire country, steve. >> they do, indeed. nate, thank you very much for the live report from tel aviv,

so after iran's aggression toward israel, let's look at the big picture, how should israel and the west respond to iran? with some of its proxies in a weakened state. does the west go after iran's nukes? chief editor of the middle east forum jim hanson joins us from washington, d.c. jim, good morning to you. >> good to be with you. >> steve: joe biden and senior aides have urged israel to avoid direct attacks on iran's nuclear facilities. but you say they should probably do it. take a hit now. >> absolutely. i think the problem that we have run into is iran believes that israel is going to hit their nuclear facilities, consequently, they are incentive to speed up whatever they are doing to get to a working nuclear device. that leads israel to believe that their timeline is compressing as well so you get a self-fulfilling prophecy and

some level only existential threat to israel is a nuclear armed iran. the houthis, the hezbollah, and hamas terrorists are never going to take down the state of israel. so they can either keep treating the symptoms or go for the cause of the disease which is the islam rep reinches c republic of iran. >> iran should use it or lose it ultimately iran come after them. israel may never get another opportunity to go after them like they have got right now. >> they are riding high. they were on their heels when the attack of october 7th, that horrific attack occurred. and the war against hamas lid to a lot of public opinion against them. but their takeout of some of the leaders of both hamas and hezbollah and operation below the belt have given them a renewed sense of the potential for victory. and i think the time is now.

they can't afford to wait for the potential of a harris administration that might be even less, you know, fri friendo israel and they are look at the biden continuation of the obama policy that harris would probably exsal gear rated that they believe that iran is part of the solution, not the problem. they can't afford that delusional, you know, belief, and they need to protect their state. >> steve: we got a graphic shows iran is approaching major nuclear capabilities. they got enough uranium to make 15 nuclear weapons within the next five or six months or something like that. jim, strategically though, was it smart for joe biden to essentially take a hit on iran's nuclear facilities off the table? >> well, joe said don't to iran. and we saw how that worked for them. i think telling bibi netanyahu no is going to have the same effect. is he not interested in joey's lack of leadership or as i set

the possibility that we could have an administration even less friendly. he has to look is this the correct time? is iran going to become a greater threat and should they do what everyone knows they have to do at some point in time, and go for as much of a devastating strike to destroy and turn as much of iran's nuclear program into smoking rubble as they can and make the whole world a safer place in the process. >> steve: let's see what they do. jim hanson, sir, thank you very much. >> thank you. >> meanwhile, you saw it here on "fox & friends first," fox weather meteorologist bob van dillen saving a woman from rising floodwaters. went back to her car and got her out through the window. is he back in the study yesterday. good morning, bob, after covering the destruction. and he is coming up next. ♪ me. i'm just the flu. i'm quite harmless, really. and when people ask, “but aren't you linked to dangerous flu complications like pneumonia, heart attack, and hospitalizations?”

"fox & friends" i'm with janice. first live shot we did it the audio didn't work. all right, this is before this all happened. we were lining it up again and my recover from and i didn't hear the car hit the water. she came in from the back side where it wasn't roped off. she didn't go around any barrier. a route she had taken her last few years. she is coming home from work. we just heard the screaming and you could hear how loud it was. it was getting worse. i'm trying to dial in with you guys producer in my ear and # 11 at the same time. as soon as we saw this happened he called 911 same thing. keep in mind we were here for the first time 60 water rescues behind us, that's why i was in that spot, i knew that 9/11 was essentially swamped,. >> janice: you have to know this is not easy to do. my shut a fireman, i told him what you did. we have known you for a long time. is he like that is tough to do. he talked about a surf board. bob is a surfer. so is my husband.

a lot of firefighters during sandy brought their surf boards out to rescue people to go into that water, that is chest high, there are so many things that can go wrong. >> and that was i wasn't really thinking about it. to me it was 25 yards away. >> steve: how deep was the water. >> the car is on the other side of the dip. it went higher than i thought it would. it went up to my clavicle it went up do here. >> ainsley: you have no idea what you are stepping into. a current? >> you can see the current right there in front of me a little bit. the water temperature wasn't bad. it wasn't coming from the mountains where it was really cold. it was 80 degrees or so except after a while you are in it you are very cold. >> janice: you didn't rescue her. you told her what to do. roll down your window. >> i finally got there and her window was about this much open. if can you roll down your window because i can't open the door because the water pressure is too much. roll your window down which by the way in my mind is a miracle because it's electronic window. it could have been shorted out. >> steve: the car was still running? >> i don't know. the car was still going on.

it was amazing. everything was working. she had been in there for minutes and hadn't shorted out. am i going to roll the window and smash it. take off my boot and break the window. pouring up her chest like this equalize the pressure. get my finger in the door and wedge it open and still strapped in the buckle. >> lawrence: how did you explain this to your family? >> when i came back? >> janice: his wife is so proud. >> my wife is like -- oi don't know about her losing her shoe or something. and she was -- i want to get the inside scoop and huge hug. >> janice: still in touch with the family. >> yeah we are. her name is angelina. her shift was overnight shift as a baker. she came down the hill. it's something she does all the time by the way. her husband earnest is one of the lost boys from the 2,000s that escaped from africa. came over here and got adopted. they have five kids. all together still. she is working overnight to make

weeks before the election. the f-16 commissioner expressing concerns. >> the fc here is not following its normal process for viewing transactions. the fec is creating a entirely new shortcut. >> lawrence: former fec chair ajit. explain to me what the normal process would look like. >> so the normal process, when you are looking to acquire broadcast stations, tv or radio, is that you aby mr. to the fec, by these stations, and if the result of that would be that they would be more than 25% owned by a foreign entity or

investor. you have to essentially explain why that is in the public interest. here, the parties applied for the application, they want to buy these stations, but they -- the sec agreed to defer, the wave the rule to explain the high foreign ownership. the commissioner made including the house oversight committee is that's never been done before at the agency wide level. why are you putting the cart before the horse? that's one of the things raised concerns. the other is merger last year, proposed merger involving the. the fec not per situations the entity going to own. we are going to ding that merger. here no discussion at all about possibility of layoffs. that's the another thing that commissioner carr and simonton have raised. i think there are a lot of questions about the process here that have morphed into substance. >> lawrence: ajit, when you look at george soros and political

contributions, we are talking about $60 million to democrats or whether it's his organization or directly from him, i guess the question is, how is he able to get away with this if this is not your typical process? is it because of the politicians that he has alliances with? >> well, i think that's what the house oversight committee and others are going to be looking into congressman chip roy who flagged this issue in the spring. for me, at least, as a former fcc official, this is the reason why we have these rules so that everybody has to play by the same process. and if you follow that same process, without waiving the rules here or there, in cases where acquiring party perceived to have political connections, that's one way to pro-mode public confidence. that's one of the reasons why commissioner carr, the house oversight committee and others have raised concerns here. >> lawrence: i think there are a lot of people back home concerned that this is an attempt to take out conservative talk radio, take out the sean hannitys, mark levins of the

world. we'll get to the bottom of it, and see what the fcc will say about this. ajit pai, thanks so much for joining the program. >> thank you. >> lawrence: we reached out to the fcc but we did not hear back from them. we will keep trying. congressman steve scalise is going to join us live in studio, next. ♪
