Their family members, their loved ones, Communication Systems are down on the west side of the island, 911 isnt operable. Cell service isnt possible. Right now were standing at a road block on the road to lahaina. This is one of the hardest hit areas. Right now residents arent being let in and they wont be let in for the foreseeable future. Evacuations are still ongoing. People being bused out of the fire zone. This as the death toll from these fires continues to rise. Now, Search And Rescue teams have been in maui from all over the country. The National Guard is also here on the ground. Take a listen. The National Guard hag activated 134 National Guard personnel. 99 from the army National Guard and 35 from the air National Guard to assist with the ohio wildfire response. Several fires burning on the island of maui since tuesday. None of them fully contained according to officials here. Still unknown how these fires started. The most destructive the fire on mauis west side, which ripped through the community of lahaina going block after block, destroying homes and businesses there. Fed by dry conditions and fierce winds caused by a pressure change between strong High Pressure to the north and Hurricane Dora as it passed hundreds of miles south of the coast. According to hawaiis governor the fire destroyed more than 1,000 buildings in ha line in a and damaged the ban i dont know tree the once peaceful Island Paradise now looking taya war zone. There will be active recovery over the coming days and weeks of the. It will take time. To say get perspective it, going to take many years to rebuild la linena. When you see the full the full extent of the destruction of lahaina it will shock you. It does appear like a bomb and fire went off. Now, cell towers and Communication Systems have been destroyed by this fire. Mobile hot spots are being set up. So communication can be a little bit easier. But, its just been a nerveracking, Heart Wrenching few days for folks here on the island of maui who dont note fate of their loved ones and friends. Back to you. Steve hey, max, i was reading in one of the patience this morning, that apparently there are questions now rising over whether or not the officials there in maui notified people with enough urgency hey, you have really got evacuate now. There are questions whether b. Whether or not Evacuation Orders were issued quickly enough. This was a situation seemed to keep people off guards. Folks that maybe werent monitoring the media and their phones and the winds really whipped up, made this fire very fastmoving. The dry conditions really made it tough for firefighters to catch this thing. I think theres going to be a lot of questions in the days and weeks to come about the response, about whether people were notified in a timely manner or not. But, right now, its all about the Recovery Efforts and about the search for survivors and the dead. Ainsley are they telling you how most of these people died . Because i have heard there were maybe some drownings, people trying to escape. Yeah, unfortunately, people had to jump into the ocean to try escape the flames in some cases. A lots of buildings in the town of la linena, very old, wooden buildings. Not necessarily built the same fire codes that, you know, we all know of today. So, this fire moved very quickly block by block, really kind of like a Domino Effect through the town. So, yeah, were going to be learning we have not been able to get to lahaina just yet. Hopefully learn more answers to the questions in the coming days. Brian max, quick questions, you hear about fires under control. You think california. It wouldnt surprise you in arizona and nevada but i always thought of hawaii as a lush area that would be easier to contain because of the moisture. Am i wrong . Yeah. Thats a great question. Now, of course, maui, you think of it as a lush Island Paradise but there had been a drought thats been ongoing for the past couple of months. Things have been very dry here. So you take these dry conditions. Theres low humidity on that day. And then you have these winds, 70, 80 Miles Per Hour just whipping and you really created a perfect storm, a perfect firestorm. Firefighters that i talk to who were battling the blaze said it did feel like they were battling one of these massive infernos that you see in california or in the american west. And, really, these firefighters were outnumbered in some cases. They didnt have a lot of support. They didnt have the vast numbers like you see in california with cal fire issuing these big responses. So it was just a Stuff Fire Fight there for a long time. And, unfortunately, there were deadly results. Steve no kidding. Ainsley i was on instagram earlier and put in maui, hawaii. A lot of people edited video together over very sad songs showing the very heart breaking video and pictures what looks like now. Homes gone cars it completely gone. He is pledged 1,000 per birdie over the next pga tours he participates in. Steve the fedex cup . Ainsley yeah his grandparents were from this area and had a picture there. Answered posted a picture of his grandmothers restaurant. Steve tell you a story about a family that was trapped in a van as the flames in lahaina were all around them and because all the cell service was out, they couldnt make an emergency call. But then one of the people in the vans remembered hey, we have got the iphone with that thing where we can actually use satellite technology. And they did the 911 through the satellite. Kurt the cyberguy is going to show you how your iphone, i think if you have an iphone 7 or better there san s. O. S. Function. If you have got one of the new ones it actually has a Satellite Function that saved the lives of a bunch of people in a van. Youre going to hear that 7 00 eastern right here on fox friends. Ainsley gosh, thats good information to know. Even if you are not in this situation. Steve i know, i was looking at kurts card for the segment we are going to do in 52 minutes. And then i went into my iphone to make sure it was turned on properly. And now im thinking about buying the people in my family new iphones so they have got the new technology. Ainsley do live 360. Our family does that so we know where everyone is all the time. Steve you need cell phone technology. The new iphones actually use satellites which is amazes. Brian talk about another story that broke yesterday. We still dont have the details nor is the deal culminated. Five Iranian Americans held unjustly in iran have been moved to a safe house or a different location now into house arrest from their brutal prison situation. In exchange, it seems, for 6 billion of oil revenue that was in south korea. Now, we did not know this thing was in the works. You always look to get hostages out. But these five being held unjustly is not unusual, sadly. Thats what iran does. Buff you have to wonder what else we gave up and whats that 6 billion being used for . To continue to harass ships in the strait of hormuz. Continue to make drones for russia to kill innocent people in ukraine in were doing another deal with the devil with iran as long as you feel for the five and happy for those families. It shows that taking hostages pays. Steve and we have seen that all over the world. These people were accused of being spies. Its a serious of steps that they have been negotiating for months. The first step apparently has happened this week. That first step was iran has released these five people with dual citizenship. Iranian americans to safe houses or, you know, a couple are in hotels. A couple are in other places. And then in four to six weeks, because it is there are so many sanctions slapped on iran and the financial community, its going to take four to six weeks to get the money into a bank in cutter. Cuttercut qatar of this wholede. We are telling them that iran can draw the 6 billion that was held by south korea bank for years. They can use it only for food or humanitarian purposes. Food, medicine, stuff like that. Were trusting qatar to do the right thing. Obviously we dont have iran to have the money to buy and build bomb parts. Brian and they will. Steve we want them to tonal use it according to this deal for stuff to keep people alive. Ainsley this 6 billion was frozen and now we are agreeing to unfreeze it. Iranian assets in south korea. We are transferring the funds into an account in the central bank the qatar. First, these americans have to be released. That apparently has happened. Steve step one. Ainsley on house arrest. They left prison. Hotel and house arrest and allowed to board a plane. Apparently the fifth person. The two of you saw we put pictures of the three individuals two we dont have their pictures. Family requested they dont release their names because they dont want anyone to know who he theyre. One is dual citizenship. Said to be released earlier this year and on house arrest still there as well and not back here in america. And the state Department Says while we welcome the news of these individuals released from prison to house arrest. They should have never been in prison in the first place. They are saying they are spies and we are saying they are not. We continue to work to bring these individuals home to their loved ones. They must be allowed to depart iran and with their loved ones as soon as possible. Brian mike pompeo almost immediately released a statement as the former secretary of state. Bad move. Watch. I always welcome the idea of americans are Hostages Beings released i think president bidens decision to give 5 billion to the Mull Laws In Tehran is a disgrace. The United States of america doesnt pay ransom. And the very idea that we would transfer 5 billion to the mullahs so that they can continue to support russias unconscionable invasion, they can continue to s sow violence across the region unconscionable. Billion dollars a hostage. That market price be the chance they will take more american hostages only increases as a result of this. Brian i worry about the deal we dont know about. Worry about the negotiations going on in secret until after it was leaked out in oman in nuclear deal. I worry about the relationship we have built on the Abraham Accords simply because we all agreed iran was the problem in the middle east and burgeoning deal working out between israel and saudi arabia in order to recognize israels trite exist and recognize each others nations and then you wonder, too, the people that will be most upset about this, because its leading towards another nuclear deal would be israel. Because they know exactly what iran wants to do, and thats wipe them out. And one way to do that would be to get rid of these sanctions and build up their military. Steve well, lets hope qatar keeps an eye on the money. You never know. Ainsley hope it doesnt go tone riching uranium and stockpiling it. Steve meanwhile, lets talk about this. About a year ago when the inflation was through the roof. They cooked up this bill in washington, d. C. And they sold it asthey started calling it the Inflation Reduction Act. The ira. Heres the thing. On this couch and elsewhere on this channel we were saying theres not that much in there to reduce inflation. Were telling you, theres not. And, in fact, now we know the president has admitted just that the name probably not a good name for it. Heres a flashback. Lets get in the wayback machine. Heres the president last july talking about the Inflation Reduction Act really reducing inflation. Not kidding. The fact is that my message to congress is this this is a strongest bill you can pass to lower inflation, cut the deficit, reduce healthcare costs, tackle the Climate Crisis and promote energy security. August the time while routeing the burdens facing Working Class and middle class families. So pass it. Pass it for the American People. Pass it for america. Steve right. Ainsley he just said that was a year ago. That was last july right before it passed. He said the strongest bill you can pass to lower inflation. Steve which we all wanted to have done. Brian no one saw that. Ainsley now he regrets saying that, listen. Steve we have a quote. Ainsley sorry. It says i wish i hadnt called it that. It has less to do with reducing inflation than it does providing for alternatives that generate economic growth. And, so, we are now in a situation where if you take a look at whether a were doing in the Inflation Reduction Act, we are literally reducing the cost of people being able to make their well, meet their basic needs. Even when there is inflation, there is a way to provide breathing room. Brian hey, everything that weerg said about it is not going to reduce inflation and you can call it attacks from republicans. Ainsley he is saying republicans are right . Brian 100 percent right. This phrase he says the quiet part out loud is fascinating because he seems to do this on a regular basis. You talk about cities where the inflation is really hitting, denver you probably know all about, atlanta, detroit, seattle, the cities seeing the lowest inflation. Those are the high here are the lows, minneapolis, chicago, boston, washington and anchorage. Why did we get the Inflation Reduction Act . Will because joe manchin for some reason caved they last minute. Listen the original idea was too high what if you came down a little bit and also what the president wants to do is tell people that im really really green. And everything im doing im getting rid of horrible oil and gas and Inflation Reduction Act throwing off penal said he wasnt doing enough. Now he says let me get rid of the fake name and tell you what i was really up to in the hope of winning those people over. Steve thats what washington does. Never let a crisis go to waste. Whats the biggest problem . Inflation. Lets call it the Inflation Reduction Act. Now he says he did a different name. Really what it is. The joe biden reelection act. Because, essentially all this stuff in there right now is what he is running on. He is out in the west coast. He was out in the west coast talking about all about look at all the stuff im doing to combat climate change. Its so hot out here because of that and we have got all this green energy stuff, blah blah blah blah blah. Brian one of the reason we are 1. 7 trillion overdrawn for the year is because of Spending Programs like that that fit an agenda but dont benefit the country. Steve thanks joe manchin. Ainsley now want you to pay off everyones college. Brian really joe biden. Ainsley joe manchin. He might become an independent. Steve you think so . Ainsley were going to talk about it coming up. Steve we are. Brian look at senator tester. Effort lay moderate. Senator coons says im moderate. I want to work with the other side. Pressure always goes on sinema and manchin. There is a lot of other people hiding behind their skirts. Ainsley more moderate. Brian claim to be moderate when they go for reelection but dont. Steve its working because joe biden is the one that gets the blame. It is a friday in the summer. That means its allamerican summer Concert Series that means midtown smells like a great big barbecue joint. Ainsley it smells great. The mclemores are Smoking Barbecue on the fox square. Good morning, guys. Good morning. Good morning, whats up. Ainsley, steve, brian, i love it when my brother does these kind of things to me. We are going to be celebrating a lot. We are super excited about low cash being in the house this morning. And what we have got the mclemores are bringing you a little bit of rotisserie lemon pepper brian chicken.

Brian very optimistic. Ainsley you always say Rachel Campos duffy. One woman three names. Steve coming up, thanks for joining us, spy agencies are will now apparently share more intel with private companies in the private sector to battle emerging threats like pandemics and cyberattacks. Form other Defense Department counterterrorism analyst Kara Friedreich says this cozy relationship has backfired in the past. Is she hopeful for the future . Well, she is coming up next. Ainsley plus, check out this video a team of lifeguards in florida formed a human chain to rescue a boogie boarder. Lifesaving move next. Steve look at that. Is so much bigger than that, with trelegy. Because one dose a day helps keep my Asthma Symptoms under control. And with 3 medicines in 1 inhaler, trelegy helps improve Lung Function so i can breathe easier for a full 24 hours. Trelegy wont replace a Rescue Inhaler for sudden breathing problems. Tr
