government to try to do all we can to alleviate suffering. >> steve: meanwhile, lawyers from one law firm say they are nearly positive they know what started it. all evidence, videos, witness accounts, burn profession and equipment points to hawaiian electric's equipment, power company being ignition source of the fire. >> ainsley: more than two thousand structures damaged or destroyed only 3% of that area has been served so far. president biden is facing backlash for not yet commenting on this strategy despite being seen on the beach yesterday in delaware. >> that's right. on friday. here on "fox & friends," we were speaking to will cain who was in mainland, u.s.a. and after the show yesterday. he flew out to maui. he arrived just a few hours ago. it's mid night there i know that your family has had a condo there on the west side of maui for decades now you see it after so much has burned. it's got to be heart breaking. >> will: i imagine what i will see, steve, when i get there a little bit later today will be something that's impossible for me to understand and impossible for so many of the other people that i have gotten to speak to since i landed. two to have survived. we landed a few hours ago took off right after "fox & friends weekend" on saturdays. traveling nonstop. you lose six hours when you come here. so, i'm on the north side of the island. this is basically where the staging operation is for most of the logistics and evacuation for the people on the west side of the maui. only one way in and out of west maui. it's a circle. one way either direction. it's blocked off right now. there is checkpoints and police controlling the amount of people that go in. i will tell you, when i landed, ainsley, steve, brian. i immediately made contact with a pastor who we can call it date, we can call it whatever it may be that plays a mysterious role in our lives but a pastor that i met just three weeks ago when i was on vacation here with my family in maui. pastor that baptized my sons in the pacific ocean right off west maui. i made contact with him pastor with kings church and went to their main church main hub. his church and his home were burned to ash ashes in hine. ashes in lahaina: people from lahaina now homeless. 40 people behind me. i don't know if you see the tents behind me. staging station where they are dropping off supplies. people living in two rooms behind me. war memorial just over here. there is hundreds if not thousands living inside a gymnasium over here because that town as you see on television screen is gray. it is ash. it is gone. and so i met a couple, beautiful couple four or five kids stranded by nieces nephews. l.j. and vanessa. they lived in lahaina. they have video they have given us. they ran from the flames. they told us their harrowing story. watch. this what do you know what is left of your home and neighborhood. >> we have gone back. we sneaked in. we got -- nothing. there is nothing. our two vehicles gone. our apartment gone. the whole complex. >> we hear about how many people have died and we hear about how many are still missing. how about for you and your personal life. >> i lost an uncle, a cousin and nephew. my cousin actually from what i heard went to go look for his parents not knowing that his sister and nephew didn't make it out either. lahaina is small. being born and raised. you see alleluia all these faces and it's heart breaking. >> will: again, i don't know if this is fate or mysterious forces in life. we went to the same church. she has moved churches. united methodist in lahaina which i go to in the summers. they told a harrowing story. if he had taken the left instead of the right he had taken he would have been engulfed in the smoke and flames. you will see it all throughout the morning on "fox & friends." there is much more to those conversations. very emotional as well. tulsi gabbard is going to be joining us as well. she has been all over the island understanding what happened here on maui, guys. >> brian: did you see a lot of security? i know you just got there for a few hours. have you seen a lot of fema officials? have you seen a lot of police officers? any national guard? >> >> will: you know i have seen national guard, brian. they are working. there is volunteers around a lot of these centers where people are being housed temporarily. there is this weird dichotomy where the rest of the island is going about its business. if anyone has ever been here and i have heard from so many people beautiful messages have you hone mind on maui, stayed here and often been 00 west side. that's really cut off, brian, and so those national guarded police presence is all over there and it's keeping people where we are now from getting over there and life goes on. there is the recovery and the survival and support effort over here, there is also the economy and it goes on and it needs to for many of these people way at the harbor, i haven't seen that just yet. i will see the presence tomorrow in west maui. >> ainsley: i'm curious about travel. you said last week that your mom was leaving over the weekend. are all these flights, they packed? are they expensive to get a ticket and how about on your plane there? was it full of journalists? >> so, they are packed going the other way, ainsley. they are packed going to the mainland. i will tell you ari, who you guys know very well, our producer, he said he had a whole row to himself on the plane coming over here. it wasn't crowded on the plane. so, it's not -- it's interesting, again, there are people still coming here. and i have seen messages on social media don't dumb maui, don't come to maui. at the same time i have heard government officials maui is open for business. there are parts life can be normal. other parts where life has been devastating stated. it's an odd dichotomy as is the entire this whole thing, i mean, again, maui is paradise. and now it's this weird paradise lost. it's met this inferno, this hellscape. the whole thing is hard to reconcile. >> steve: and, will, on friday you said your mom was going to fly out. where is she now she rode out the fire a little mort of the hoin area. >> thank you for asking. i know you both did. lanesly did and brian i know have you wondered as well and everyone has asked. i'm so touchy really am. the fox audience. absolutely incredible. long time friends and family of mine put together go fund me help as many as they can put it directly into their hands. i'm feared by what this audience has responded. i'm going to be an absolute rock solid steward of their charity. by the way it's go fund me. help the people of maui. my mom left on saturday, steve. she and her husband luke left on saturday. they got out. and they are safe and i appreciate you asking and i appreciate everyone out there asking. they are back home in texas. >> steve: good. will is going to be with us all morning long as the sun comes up eventually. it's just 8 minutes after midnight right now. will, thank you very much. >> ainsley: so touching to hear his story and know our viewers have helped with his go fund me page. i also was reading that samaritan's purse, billy graham's son loads up supplies. bethenny frankel has a group. red cross they do so much good work. >> steve: fox is partnering with him scan the qr code that you see right there. open your camera on your smart phone, aim it at that, when the little yellow bar pops up on it, just touch that and it will take you to the american red cross site. or if you want to do it the other way, go red cross dod organ/fox forward. >> brian: going to look at that look at the firefighters. evidently no water pressure to put up the fire and when we get to drill down to what the governor wants to do and drill down on what happened. hawaii's electrical equipment being the ignition force behind it that was taking about a mile a minute and seeing some of the aftermath of that meanwhile, on a much lesser noted when you talk about politics and hunter biden's future, stunning announcement friday afternoon when it was announced by a very nervous merrick garland who said by the way, i thought david weiss, ohio gave all the power he wanted to, whatever you want to go, go do it. now i'm going to give him really special power. make him a special counsel. this will be face first full week as special counsel to investigate something that he has been working on five years and cut such a bad deal the judge blew it up. so enough to, i think full credit to the whistleblowers. because everything they seem to have said behind closed doors and then came out forward to everybody else on this network and cbs has forced it, seems, merrick garland's hand. we know what a joke this investigation was. and we know that he wanted this status. said i couldn't get this status. he wanted to push it to los angeles. couldn't push it to los angeles. wanted to put it in d.c. couldn't do it. said something different publicly but now for this being done, this shows you that the whistleblowers were right and to a degree they forced his hand. >> steve: and, in particular, what blew up the case was when we last saw the judge in delaware, she said okay, you two sides go and try to work this out. they could not work out this critical detail. hunter biden's lawyers thought that with this -- with a guilty plea to this plea agreement that hunter biden would never be able to be prosecuted again. but the presumption,. >> the just federal government said no, this is not the case. gigantic headache for the white house it. speaks to the fact that does hunter biden not think his father is going to win re-election because donald trump and other republicans have suggested they might come after him in the future if he skates on this so you have got to wonder is, that what hunter was afraid of? joe is going to lose the election and somebody is going to come after me in the future even though i take this plea deal? >> ainsley: republican are furious weiss responsible forever the sweetheart plea deal. is he special counsel assigned to this. nothing really happened in that case, and he got a really good deal and that's why republicans are upset. james comer over the weekend was saying he dragged his feet for five years. hlet the statute of limitations run out. the stat could be prosecutorial malpractice and senator ted cruz called it camouflage for letting the biden family off the hook. >> brian: here is abbe lowell yesterday. >> ainsley: hunter's attorney. >> brian: spoke on friday night, which i found fascinating too. listen to this. >> i'm confident that if this prosecutor does what has been con for the last five years, look at the facts, the evidence, and the law, then the only conclusion can be what the conclusion was on july 26th. it's new evidence. there is no new evidence to be found. what matters is the facts and the evidence. the facts and the evidence that have been pursued by however members of the staff and media looking for any possible connection has shown time and time again it doesn't exist. if the most people that are criticizing the biden family is that when the president calls his son every day and it goes on the speaker phone he says hello to the people in the room, that is not an offense. that is nothing other than a loving father. >> brian: exactly. 20 times over 10 years minimum calling into business deals on going. three times in particular show up in person. he is just saying i love you, dad. and by the way who that kag. >> ainsley: i love to help you. >> steve: kardashian? sounds like you are going for kardashian? >> ainsley: kazakhstan. >> brian: who is that kazakhstan oligarch next to you. who is the prime minister next to you. by the way shot burisma executive and why do you have that job? hey, by the way, love you. >> ainsley: hey a loving father. fire this prosecutor who is going after my son's company that he on the boar not giving you $1 billion. >> wonder bread on the way home. >> brian, you are on the verge of a major scoop that the kardashians were involved with this. >> i'm not going to eliminate. >> biden crime family. >> might get them out of prison. >> i cannot say they were not involved. >> ainsley: after a shootout with a suspect turned deadly, a florida sheriff is sending a strong message to the criminals. >> this isn't other parts of the country where law enforcement, you know, are hindered because the elected officials say we don't want you to do anything. if you shoot at one of us, we are going to fire back. >> ainsley: that sheriff is going to join us next. >> brian: this story, again. musk vs. zuck. the facebook founder throwing cold water on elon's upcoming plan force cage match. why he says it's time to move on. >> ainsley: we all feel that way either fight or move on. >> steve: a special performance jelly roll live. they're setting up in studio right now. and you will see them exclusively today on "fox & friends." >> brian: is he already here. he has been spotted. ♪ pedal to the highway ♪ if you wonder why we write a song, i ♪ we moved out of the city so our little sophie could appreciate nature. but then he got us t-mobile home internet. i was just trying to improve our signal, so some of the trees had to go. i might've taken it a step too far.

>> this is one of those questions, you know, even in the state of florida, fortunate to have great governor and the fact that we are tough on crime. our legislature, senate, house of representatives, they pass every year crimes -- laws to make crime even tougher penalties. we are still in that tough situation. we see nationally what goes on bond reform, bail reform it's a revolving door. he spent four years in prison at the same time from our standpoint now looking back these are the type of people that don't need to be on the street. especially for the fact that crime of domestic violence. i can't imagine what his poor wife had gone through over the years. >> steve: no kidding. ultimately, the moral to this story, sheriff, i said it a moment ago. if you shoot at law enforcement, law enforcement is going to shoot back. >> yeah. that's the simple saying. it's one of those things, unfortunately the andy law antiw enforcement defund the police movement has led to different jurisdictions. my heart breaks for those jurisdictions, elected officials consistently bashing law enforcement. their hands are tied they can't do what they have to do. in florida we are not that way. please blessed that we tell people our main priority is to protect our citizens. we have to make sure our citizens are safe. if that's means we are going to be in a shootout. we have to neutralize a suspect because is he shooting at us and trying to hurt other citizens we are going to do it. combat that defund the police. the negative law enforcement movement in florida. that's why you have so many people moving to florida because they want to be safe. i feel horrendous for those people that live in those communities and they can't move to florida and other places that are safe. that's why in florida we work together. we are out there protecting our citizens because that is what we are supposed to do. >> steve: it is, indeed. keep us all safe. sheriff, thank you very much for joining us on this monday morning. >> thank you. god bless have. great day. >> steve: god bless you. be careful. 24 minutes after the hour, carley. good morning. >> carley: good morning, steve. we will start with a fox news alert. listen to this. a malaysian airlines flight making emergency landing at sydney after a passenger allegedly threatened to blow up the plane. passengers say the man called himself, quote: a slave to allah and demanded that others repeat the phrase. australian federal police met the diverted plane on the tarmac and took him into custody. they say the man, 45, was arrested by the afp without incident and is expected to be charged later tonight. at least 32 flights were canceled because of the threat were other flights delayed up to 90 minutes. two witnesses are set to testify before a georgia grand jury tomorrow against former president donald trump over his alleged attempt to overturn the state's 2020 election results. this two years after the fulton county district attorney first launched her investigation into the former president. the upcoming testimony suggest as fourth criminal indictment could come as early as this week. and mark zuckerberg claims elon musk isn't serious about their potential cage fight. he posted on thredz yesterday, elon won't confirm a date then says he needs surgery and now says to do a practice round in my backyard instead if elon ever gets serious about a real date he knows how to reach me. otherwise, time to move on. musk though replying on x saying, quote: zuck is a chicken and the saga, steve, continues there story has as they say legs. >> steve: we need soap opera music. >> carley: i will work on that for next time. >> steve: coming up on this monday. an historic church on the island of maui. that catholic church right there, miracle alsoly spared from the raging fires. will cain is on the ground with tulsi gabbard as the community rallies together for relief. ♪ once-daily pill for moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis for the chance at clear or almost clear skin. it's like the feeling of finding your back... is back. or finding psoriasis can't deny the splendor of these thighs. once-daily sotyktu is proven to get more people clearer skin than the leading pill. don't take if you're allergic to sotyktu; serious reactions can occur. sotyktu can lower your ability to fight infections including tb. serious infections, cancers including lymphoma, muscle problems, and changes in certain labs have occurred. tell your doctor if you have an infection, liver or kidney problems, high triglycerides, or had a vaccine or plan to. sotyktu is a tyk2 inhibitor. tyk2 is part of the jak family. it's not known if sotyktu has the same risks as jak inhibitors. find what plaque psoriasis has been hiding. ask your dermatologist about sotyktu for clearer skin. so clearly you. sotyktu.

>> given the history of this place and given how a lot of generational land has been developed whether it's into hotels or other things, there is serious concern that this beautiful, historic site of lahaina that was once the capital of the congress dom of hawaii back in the day, nine, 10 generations of native hawaiians have lived there that this land be acquired or taken over and developed into something that causes them to lose not only their homes, but their history and so much of the culture here on maui. and this is a very real concern today. even as people are focused on the emergency of today, it's not at all lost on them that they are concerned about how to rebuild in a way that honors the native hawaii people and hawaii. >> will: that's why information becomes such an important resource. why we need to be over there. why we need to be telling these stories. thank you for inviting me over here. i'm so glad we talked and you came out here tonight to be on "fox & friends" and appreciate how are for hawaii and for america. >> thank you. >> will: all right, ainsley, back to you. >> ainsley: will, i know you grew up going there and fond memories there. your children were just baptized in the ocean with the pastor you told us about. we will check in with you all morning. >> will: thanks, ainsley. >> ainsley: hearts and prayers with the people there church in maui miraculously spared from the raging fires. look at that picture. still standing untouched a symbol of hope for its members. including our next guest camille murano, her family lost everything in the fire and she joins us now. good morning. >> good morning. >> ainsley: so what. >> thank you for having me. >> thank you for coming on. i'm so sorry for your loss. what have you been through?

>> as far as i know around the church is all gone. so, obviously, you know, in front of the church, that's where the big fire that you guys see on front street started. the big what happened is -- we were all thinking that of course our church is gone. so we went seeing and talking to father and stuff like that. basically that was my only hope. everything else i basically lost. my home, my car my work and other two fur babies left before we could get them. sorry. basically, it's just the church that is left for me in lahaina. >> ainsley: how can we help you? what do you need? what does hawaii need from us? >> at the moment it's been four or five days now. you know what? i don't even know what i need. i just need everyone, i guess, to include us in your prayers i don't know what's next for us i mean the future right now is very unpredicted for us. i know there is help up there overw4e78ing all the love and support is overwhelming, i cannot thank everybody enough everybody found out i'm staying at my brother-in-law's house. serve coming by and dropping off stuff. awesome. >> ainsley: thinking about you every single day and praying for you all. it broke my heart when i saw some of the pictures during our last reporter hit i saw a sign that said missing person's report. and that really hits home when you realize so many people are missing and the numbers are probably going to go up. did you know anyone who had to jump in the water?
