Wildfire alert. 96 people are now confirmed dead in the devastating maui wildfires as officials warn that the number expected to grow. Hawaiis governor promising he will get answers to the deadliest blaze in more than a century. I have authorized a comprehensive review of what happened in the early hours of the fire and the hours thereafter, having been to ground zero twice, there is very little left there. Brian lawyers from one firm investigating the fire say they are nearly positive what started it saying quote all evidence, videos, witness accounts, burn progression, burn equipment points to hawaiis electric equipment being the ignition source of the fire. Hundreds of structures wiped out as crews continue searching through the rubble. Continue asking loved ones for d. N. A. Samples to help identify the bodies. President biden is facing backlash for not yet commenting on the tragedy. Is he vacationing in delaware i have will be at the white house around noon. Take your time. Lets go back out to fox Friends Weekend cohost will cain live in maui. Got there about five hours ago. Hey, will, sun is still down, obviously. Whats up . Will you know, brian, its confusing is this yesterday or today. I left right after fox friends and im still in the same day but its morning there in new york. Im trying to make sense of what is on a much more serious note, something that is very difficult to make sense of. This devastation. This paradise lost. Most people place in my humble opinion on earth taken down into a burning inferno. If i might, brian. I think there is not to be too cute but think about this through the past, the present and the future. There are a lot of conversations about the future. You were just talking about the governor who is to blame. Why were they there not sirens. Why was Emergency Communication so bad. In the future we need to break down exactly what went wrong. Talking about the past, how these people escaped. What is just impossible situations. If you will stick around, just about 30 minutes on fox friends, i have several conversations with some members of kings church who all lived in lahaina lost their homes and church and tell the story of driving down front street, a right turn in retrospect would have been left a left turn and they are saved we will hear those stories. Brian nor now focus on the present. Something amazing going on and people stepping up. Leadership is hard. Government doesnt always 1068 problems. I think thats something we well know and thats an understatement. Government. So what i have seen here. What i know about is people sentencing up there are helicopters and planes going from where i am over the mountains to the west side there are boats running from one side to the another. These are private citizens, business owners, mothers. I know of a pair of mothers who are running a Helicopter Transport from over here to cap lieu a. And a little earlier i had former congresswoman president ial candidate tulsi gabbard. Hawaiian with me talking about what she seen here in the present spirit really shines through there a lot of Community Led pods north of lahaina, they are stepping up getting food, medical. Basic first aid. Toiletries but setting up in peoples yards and garages there is a feeling there enough communication not getting word from the county or the state or federal government or fema about whats going on. Whats available to them. This is a completely communitydriven effort. They are helping each other. They are not unfortunately seeing that support coming from the government yet. Will you know, brian, its a story about hawaii but its a story about america and how quintessentially american. It always happens. You know that a tornado rips through moore, oklahoma and we see americans stand up for each other. What happens here is with this isolated island out here in the middle of the pacific, its just so visual. Helicopters, planes and boats. People stepping up, logistics to solve the problems in one of the most isolated places on earth when there is, quite honestly a failure of leadership. Steve will, now they are starting to point finger, they are saying probably started by the Electric Company out there. But people dont kind of forget at the perfect storm, if you will, of what happened. Because there was a hurricane to the south. 60, 70, 80 Miles Per Hour winds. It was spreading the fire one mile per minute. It was that fast. And the local firefighters were tapping into the hydrants. But because of the drought, the hydrants were running dry. Will you know, so, steve, you are absolutely right. First of all, there was 80 mileperhour winds that day. Again, as you guys well know. My family was here that day. Power went out that morning high winds. Knocking down trees. Before the fire started you saw trees toppled over on top of cars. Perfect storms with power lines fall down. Never under estimate the incompetence in these types of situations. Bad things happen but there is also a role for good people. Aparchtly the fire first set off 4 45 p. M. If you will go on to social media. You will see video of people in the Water Jumping over on front street at 5 30 p. M. That means the fire has ripped through lahaina, surrounded them to the north and to the south. Theres no place for them to go within 45 minutes but into the ocean. Ainsley we talked to one lady, im not sure if you were able to hear that interview. She lives there. Her name is camille soriano. We talked to her after you interviewed tulsi gabbard. She had some friends that had to jump into the water. They had to tread water for five hours before they felt it was safe to get out. They are doing okay. She lost everything. She rounded up her mom. Her grandchild. Her brother is out of town at a funeral in the philippines and so she was taking care of his animals. They have 10 animals together. So she had to gather them up. It sounded like an interview. I believe it was hard to understand this one portion because she was very emotional. Sounded like she said she lost two of her Furry Friends in the fire. But heres a little bit of that interview with her, will. Hold on. Lets just listen to that and we will coming back to you. We didnt have any of the signs or warnings whatsoever. But we could see ourselves that the fires were just blowing so fast. We dont want to be trapped. You know. I do have my mom who is 91 years old with me and i also do have brand new grandson that just turned 2 months old that day. So i just made sure that i had the secure them in the car get out of lahaina and me and my husband were the actually the last people to leave our area because we have like sorry, 10 i10 fur babies to transport. Its been four or five days now but you know what . I dont even know what i need. I just need everyone, i guess, to include us in your prayers. I dont know whats next for us. I mean, the future right now is very uncertain for us. Will, she goes to an Historic Catholic Church there. And it did not burn. Most of everything around it she said did. Will people havent talked about that. Thats another travesty in this story as well. Back to the water, ainsley. I was told tonight hundreds, hundreds of people in the water. Children, 88yearold woman in the water for Something Like 5 to 7 hours those people along with people who did not make it meaning floating bodies all there together while flames and smoke poured over their heads. The stories you played. I keep hearing people handing off babies to one another. Carrying a baby. I had a 2 and a halfyearold kid. I dont know who it was i held a 2 and a halfyearold child as we ran from the flames. Ainsley family vacation. All three of us have been there on vacation. Your Kids Lindor G learned to southern there. Your children were just baptized. Steve i went to that church. Ainsley you went to that catholic church. Since a. Ainsley your sons were just baptized in the water there with your minister. Everyone who has a natural disaster. This one hits home because so many of us have visited it and its so gorgeous and its an island we imagine how hard its going to be to get all that wreckage off of that island. Will i think thats perfectly said. What you are seeing. We will bring this together with what i would hope is a silver lining. I have seen incredible response from everyone. From america. There is support. There is logistics. There is donations. There is money. There is love coming in to this place from america. Brian will, your Go Fund Me Page is . It is help the people of maui. Thank you for that. It is the fox audience has blown me away. I promise you this. We will make sure you help the people of maui. Ainsley are you giving 100 of it to friends there in hawaii . Will you know, ainsley, im happy to say its raise sod much money that i will be able to help more people than just simply the ones i know. I hope everyone will help me in that process. It will go directly to people in maui. Wide community in west maui. Helping through that go fund me. Steve will, see you back in about a half an hour. In meantime for the folks if you want to help an organization, can you help the people affected by the wildfires. The website is red cross. Org fox forward or text The Word Hawaii To 90999 to make a 10 donation. Or just take your smart phone and hold it up to the vv and see that qr code screen left. As soon as you do that, ainsley is doing it right now, a little yellow line will pop up. You push that button and it takes tout American Red Cross so you, too, can make a donation. Ainsley look how many we have so far 12,000 of you all have contributed more ha a million dollars. Steve thats great. Ainsley 25, 50, 75, 100, 250, 1,000 or own amount there. Steve more from maui later. Today Monday Marks Special Counsel david weiss full week on the job after Merrick Garland tapped him to lead the investigation into hunter biden. Suddenly on friday. Brian he has a few new powers, same job, fame focus. Hunters lawyer says is he ready to cooperate. Weiss let some possible charges lapse. Ainsley peter doocy live at the white house with the latest for us, peter . Peter the Special Counsels scope may wind up being a lot bigger than just some tax charges and a gun charge. But hunters lawyers are now out on tv saying maybe it wont be. Im confident that if this prosecutor does what has been done 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. Its new evidence. There is no new evidence to be found. Peter the biden lawyer going to stick to the plea deal the one they agreed to but fell apart. Here is a filing from last night. The defendant intends to abide by the terms of the Diversification Agreement and concurs with the terms the government made july 26th hearing the government acknowledged in its filings agreeing to the Public Disclosure of the plea and Diversification Agreements. Republicans had been calling for a Special Counsel, including some who wanted david weiss to be the Special Counsel. Enough to that he is, they are upset, knowing that he signed off on the plea deal that included broad immunity from undiscovered crimes for hunter. The concern here obviously with barr being Special Counsel excuse me, Weiss Being Special Counsel is he is the one that allowed the statute of limitations to expire on very critical felony charges that could have been brought against hunter biden. There is some question as to whether or not its prosecutorial misconduct but it certainly could be. Peter hunters dad, the president , hasnt said anything about this since the announcement on friday after. We may not get any response from him on friday whether there is a trilateral Press Conference with some visiting dignitaries. But 2024 might be complicated because this is now unprecedented. There is a father and son that both have Special Counsels investigating them back to you. Brian hey, peter, have you ever heard anything from robert hur and his investigation by the corvette and everything like that into the documents case . Have they given any statements . Peter no. There was a report on friday that president bidens personal attorneys are trying to negotiate the terms of an interview with hur about the classified documents. So, it does not seem like that one is close to wrapping up but they are completely quiet. Steve yeah. They are quiet. In fact joe biden was asked by bloomberg reporter about to comment on the maui fires, extraordinarily he said no comment. Which is just kind of weird. Brian totally unacceptable. Ainsley seen on the beach in delaware and we have hawaii that is just charred. Brian how could have you no comment . Peter right. The thing that is unusual about that unusually if he doesnt want to answer a question he just says nothing. When you say no comment, thats like what you say when we are asking about something that he really doesnt want to talk about. For example, later on today, when he comes back we shout to him about the Special Counsel i would expect to hear no comment. When its something about americans dying, that is an unusual answer. Brian do you think he doesnt know . Is there a chance he doesnt know . Peter they say that the fema administrator has been briefing him while he has been at the beach. I think he knows, but that is not what we usually get from this president. Steve yeah. For peter, for years you have been the only reporter, tv reporter who has asked the then Vice President and now president about hunter biden. Given the fact that theres a Special Counsel looking into hunter biden, its hard for the media to avoid this story now. Peter yeah. And its going to be something potentially that involves reporters covering the white house beat because we dont know there are republicans in congress who claim that there is this evidence that links joe biden directly to these crimes that hunter is accused of committing if it seems like their power may now be limited by the Special Counsel investigating. So, if thats true then a Special Counsel would figure it out and it would become a white house story. Steve speaking of white house story. There are a lot of circulating rumors that hunter biden actually lives at the white house which makes it really crazy. Peter we see him here a lot. Brian he does not have a job. Ainsley remember what the judge said get a job. Brian can we just hear . This goes to show you to steves point about how other networks are picking this up you cant avoid it because it was the number one story on friday leading into the sunday shows how much they wanted to talk about trump, yes. But i watched them all and its basically almost 50 50 trump and biden. Listen to what chuck todd said. President bidens handling of the case has raised questions at a time when voters already have doubts about his age and political standing. Biden brought his son to a state dinner just two days after the plea deal that has since collapsed was announced. And he has repeatedly defended him, denying wrongdoing all together, even though hunter biden himself has pled guilty. Steve so now it has to be covered and going to be covered a little differently. Ainsley they will love this week though if its true that trump gets a fourth indictment. Thats what they will be covering for the rest of the week. Brian showing barricades. Thats how desperate they are to show donald trump being indicted. Ainsley District Attorney getting barricades and new head shots in preparation. Steve i would not be surprised if we dont hear about a lot of sweeping indictments tomorrow and the indictments may actually surprise you. It could be a new charge. We havent heard so far. Brian could be charges and could be up to 20 other people. Ainsley exactly. Thats what sources are saying. Steve we will see. Ainsley hand it over to carley for more headlines. Carley i certainly do. Start with a Fox News Alert. A michigan Sheriff Deputy is now in the hospital after being shot multiple times early this morning. Deputies say he was shot during a police chase following a ghenk dispute late last night. The suspected shooter was killed during the chase and investigators are still on the scene. The deputy, Joshua Hankens is expected to recover. Ton another Fox News Alert here. The Biden Administration is refusing to sign off on governor Kathy Hochuls proposal who house migrants at military facility. The citing legal and operational obstacles remaining hopeful. Today was a call to talk about logistics any kind of legal barriers or other on tackles. I did not take away from that a hard no. So i think its just going to be an evolving process. And a new text message Acronym Ijbol is taking off with jen z. And they named Vice PresidentKamala Harris the king of ijbol. [laughter] [laughter] her burst of laughter. I just burst out laughing. The another virgs of the lol or laugh out loud. Just trying to keep everyone cool here, guys. Steve replacing lol and the others its more appropriate. People just burst out laughing and the New York Times we read says that she is the queen of just inappropriately bursting out laughing. Carley there is a whole time igbol is in and all right ol is out fumplet are learning about this trend on New York Times or fox news. That mean you aint as young as you once was. Bri
