Okay, and the thanks it is Monday October 16th and a Fox News Alert oil rig explosion breaking overnight a massive fireball
Erupting on a Louisiana Lake the search happening right now for the missing plus ten stocks that for today
President Trump and Mitch McConnell coming face-to-face today for the first time since the August
Obamacare failure what to expect ahead of that big meeting
And a Hail Mary play here Colin Kaepernick now accusing the NFL owners of all
Colluding against him the action. He is now taking Fox and Friends first continues right now
Good morning to you you were watching Fox and Friends first. I'm Jillian mealy it may take more than that to giving you
Thanks so much for starting your day with us today. It's one minute our top story this morning
President Trump will meet with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell here in just a few hours
It will be their first face-to-face meeting since Republicans failed to repeal and replace Obamacare
Chris Jenkins joins us live from DC with a preview of the big meeting good morning Griffin
Good morning, Gillian and Rob welcome to Mitch McConnell Monday
they're calling it a working lunch the majority leader spokesman saying that the
President and vice president will sit down Mitch McConnell to discuss the fall of Jenna, which includes completing the budget resolution
paxing tax reform and confirming judicial nominees
But the main course here may be more about the two leaders trying to repair a broken relationship
That became public this summer as the two took shots at each other over the failure to pass health care
Our new president head of course not been in this line of work, and I think had
Excessive expectations, I'm very disappointed in Mitch
But if he gets these bills passed I'll be very happy with them. I'll be the first to admit it
complicating matters former White House chief strategist Steve
Bannon is taking on the establishment in particular Mitch McConnell issuing a litmus test for Republican incumbents in the midterms
Disavowal McConnell or face the wrath of a primary challenge
This is other conservative groups like the Senate conservatives fund are also calling for McConnell's removal
But Maine's moderate senator
Susan Collins who is a holdout during the healthcare vote says bandhans rhetoric is what the American people are tired of
They don't want this hyper partisanship. They want us to work together, and they want us to get things done
Collins is also criticizing the president's executive order on health care a move Majority Leader McConnell has praised last week as a step moving forward
Finally no word guys on what's being served today is the White House chef. I suppose figures out. What kind of comfort food?
He might come up with
Awkward, hopefully something Mitch McConnel likes I wouldn't hate to be in that meeting alright. Thanks so much Grif
Republican Senator Bill Cassidy who co-authored
one version of the healthcare replacement bill says the biggest thing that Congress needs to accomplish right now is lowering those premiums
He says the real threat to the GOP establishment are the voters who are upset with Congress for getting nothing done
The president's not gutting the Affordable Care Act. Let's just take the cautionary reduction payments is one example
They're unconstitutional a court has said so and with the president's focus on
Focusing on our middle class families who are paying thirty to forty thousand dollars a year
For premiums plus deductibles on top of this the payments are unconstitutional
According to a court and his first first responsibility is uphold that but we absolutely have to think about that family around the kitchen table
Republicans have been trying to do so but coupled with flexibility so that premiums can come down
Keep in mind with those payments that families paying 30 to
$40,000 a year. We've got to do something to lower their premiums
I think what is a real threat to the Republican establishment is not addressing the needs of that family around the kitchen table
All right now one of the big talkers of the day disgrace and unemployed still unemployed colin kaepernick filing a grievance against the NFL
That's right the former quarterback now claiming that owners are teaming up to keep him off the field because of his unpatriotic
Protests Kelly Wright joins us live now with details on that it Kelly Robert chilly and good morning to you
Are you ready for some football?
The end of last season Colin Kaepernick was not ready he opted out of his contract
With his team the San Francisco 49ers and as a free agent
He was hoping to sign on with another team in the NFL, but there were no takers
You'll recall that
Kaepernick ignited a firestorm of controversy last year when he began kneeling during the national anthem and protest against racism and police
brutality and now Capra Dick's attorney Mark Geragos has filed a grievance against the NFL claiming NFL team owners
colluded against admitting Kaepernick to their team and a statement posted on Twitter Geragos tweeted
Athletes should not be denied employment based on partisan political provocation the executive branch of our government
the NFL Players Union
supports the grievance NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell in a recent interview with ESPN denies NFL owners are colluding against competent
Speaking of Goodell it seems some NFL players
disregarded his memo or didn't get the memo that all players should stand during the national anthem and
in Jacksonville one person
demonstrated
Against the NFL players from the air of former Jags fan hired a pilot to fly a plane with a banner over the stadium
for two hours reading the American
Boycott the Jags and NFL and then in Oakland
California American Idol runner-up singer Jessica Sanchez sang the national anthem and then she took a knee
Meanwhile NFL owners will be meeting here in New York on Tuesday
They are concerned about these protests
Eroding fan support some of them want all players to stand during the national anthem but some players say they will continue to fight
Against racism and use this as their way of doing that back to you all right. Thanks
Kelly yeah, and this meeting was previously scheduled
This is an NFL owners meeting that happens all the time
So they're just gonna be talking about this because this has become the forefront
This is one of those things that just won't go away and a lot of people say you know Colin Kaepernick gives it good enough
Football player to be on a team right now. Yes, that's true
But the owners also have the right to say I don't want you on my team. Well. That's what's so funny about the argument
He's making is that I don't think this takes collusion to get done because who wants to touch somebody that's this controversial
It's not like they all got together and said even if you want them don't take them
We're all gonna get together and pull this on him. I mean. I just don't think there's much of a case there
Thing is and I'm curious myself people are asking what is that evidence that they supposedly have to think that they even have a case
Yeah
It might just be a shot in the dark who knows but if you ask people on the left some people
Say that all of this controversy really has nothing to do with patriotism for this country. Let's listen to that I
Think that they should be
Listened to I think that the issues they're raising should be discussed in a serious
Sustained way and not just be put aside because the president is trying to make this about patriotism
And it's not these players have said we are patriotic. We love this country, but there are serious issues
We have to talk about and we're not as a nation having that conversation
I want that to be the conversation not these divisive cultural wars that the president's trying to rely on
Because he's got nothing else done like health care or tax reform or infrastructure
So you have the argument as you heard there from Marie harf saying, you know this isn't about patriotism
And you have the argument from from guys who used to be NFL players themselves like Burgess Owens in our last hour
And he says the NFL just isn't what it used to be
This is what Marxist do they they they destroy everything they touch with me the black family
whether it be the school system whether the education whether the
Entertainment and now the NFL we now have a brand that was built through decades we can all come together
Enjoy ourselves and see men grow men compete and now here
We're fighting
We're trying to debate on whether the flag is something we should respect tonight
So I understand we are getting in a war and then it's ignite against each other
It's against ideologies socialism Marxism is what we're seeing now coming out of this black community
Yeah, and they could say it's not about patriotism all they want
But I mean it the fact is you're kneeling for the national anthem if you want to have a discussion about this
That's completely fine, and you can do that in a number of different venues kneeling during national anthem with the flag
I mean, there's no other way to take that
ISM. There are a lot of players around the NFL excuse me who do things in their community who have ride-alongs with police officers who?
Go to Congress to try and talk about social issues yet, they're not out there taking a knee necessarily exactly
And then the ones that you see taking a knee oftentimes aren't doing much other than that
To make a difference in that department, so that's that's where you get a lot of the opinions conversations not over here
That's for sure, but we do want to get to a Fox News Alert right now
Buying it search for a missing man after an oil rig explodes on a lake just
Outside New Orleans eight people were on board, but only seven made it to the shore and were taken to the hospital
Five of them are in critical condition witnesses reported hearing loud explosions seeing a large fireball than a cloud of smoke
One person describing the blast as a sonic boom officials now warning oil may be leaking into Lake Pontchartrain
They're looking into reports of cleaning chemicals triggering the blast
right two inmates considered armed and dangerous
Who were set to appear in court today are now on the run the manhunt has been launched in Missouri after William Carter and Joseph?
La demanda are busted out of the pema scott county jail early Sunday morning both facing serious charges including murder and kidnapping
police say they escaped through
Escape their cell through an air duct and are headed towards the Mississippi River
Expected to make its case today in the corruption trial of Senator Bob Menendez the New Jersey Democratic
used of taking bribes in exchange for favors in Washington
Prosecutors fear if the case is dismissed. It could pave the way to eventually legalize pay to play politics
After the hour he deserted his unit and endangered fellow soldiers rescuing him from the Taliban and today, Bo Bergdahl is back in the headlines
And it could have been too soon now late-night host James Corden is responding to a lot of backlash
Today Bo Bergdahl is expected to admit. He's a deserter brought home with a hero's welcome by the Obama administration
Bergdahl is said to plead guilty to charges tied to his capture by the Taliban in 2009. That's right five
Terrorists were exchanged for his return and six US soldiers were killed searching for him in Afghanistan
Joining us now to react his Fox and Friends weekend co-anchor and Army veteran Pete hagseth. Hey Pete good morning so today
I guess the question is and we don't know this at this point did he strike a deal
Or is he pleading guilty in hopes of leniency from the judge?
We don't know it looks like
He's pleading guilty either way the question is whether it's a plea deal whether he got some sort of a deal from prosecutors
Ultimately though it goes before a judge the judge will make a call him in
What he's faces the lesser of the two is what he will face. Whether its life in prison for
misbehavior before the enemy or did the desertion charge for five years and whether his time in captivity
Will be encountered toward that as well
We don't know if he cut a deal we will find out today his trial was supposed to start a week from now
It'll likely likely become a sentencing instead because he's likely to plead guilty here this
I mean This is a story that enrages
A lot of members of the military and a lot of Americans in general because you see I mean that image of the five
Terrorists that we had to get yeah, yeah, and it was just it was it's a very dangerous precedent
misbehavior before the enemy is the big charge here that carries the potential of life in prison that was about that so it's different than
Treason they initially were there were thoughts of charging him with treason intentionally going to join the enemy
Misbehavior before the enemy means you shamefully abandoned surrender or deliver up command property or information that you have a duty to defend
Which he clearly did abandoning his post and walking off base. What the
Prosecutors knew they could do is
They could likely get this charge to stick which comes with life in prison and anybody who's looked at this case understands
What happened the precedent that it's sense you don't want a Bowe Bergdahl ever walking free in light of what he's done
But if you tried for treason and don't get it then you have complications
so they went with Miss Pam look at the value that he puts on American soldiers being captured now is so much higher because they
Know what they can get for there's a president. It's it's five of the worst for a dirtbag
Yeah, that's what that's what happened the worst guy in your unit that stacks is gear up and walks off base
So people like new tenant Colonel Michael waltz have to spend their time as special operators looking for him
distracted from the mission
And then we take five of the worst out of Guantanamo Bay who other
Americans had to capture at one point put their lives at risk it is it is a price that Bowe Bergdahl charged our entire country
The least you can do is serve behind bars for the record business
That's what you would like to see could you ever in any
Situation make an argument against that against life in prison you've been over there
No III wouldn't I mean most of us would look at that. He should be put to death for it
I mean ultimately this is a treasonous act a lot of people thought he was searching for the Taliban
What happened once he was captured as a whole nother story?
There's evidence that needs to be but there were much harsher
Sentences that have happened for there's many ways to raise your right hand in a venire country you go into a dangerous place you have
To trust that those you're serving with will have your back when you do something like that you put all of that at risk
That's why a lot of people will be paying attention here
And the judge is unlikely to be lenient in this case and the soldiers who died searching for him that tell us a little bit
About that of course you've got and that'll be part of the testimony in the sentencing as well
They say it won't happen today
But in a week from now when the sentencing happens if he pleads guilty you're gonna hear from members who were injured
Those that were killed can't free speak for themselves
But those who were injured in searching will speak up and talk about I was on this patrol because of Bowe Bergdahl
I was diverted to this mission because of Bowe Bergdahl
That's really powerful and and the voices and the faces of those who are no longer here
You know he'll be he'll be likely sitting in prison thinking of those faces for a long long time
Appreciate it
okay, 19 minutes after the hour now remember the mysterious tarmac meeting between Bill Clinton and
Loretta Lynch the AG for President Obama just before the 2016 election will the brand new evidence that has just been uncovered
Good morning welcome back James Corden in defining the term too soon with a poorly received joke about Harvey Weinstein
Harvey Weinstein is already Austin. I opted a stone salad together than the songs
You should probably leave now
Sadly for the late night comedian his joke fell flat on the crowd here with a lot of the outrage online
Which is what she does best?
He was trying to be funny, but as you could tell the audience did not laugh nor did people on social media now
He made that joke at a gala on Friday, and it was hit with immediate criticism from some of Harvey Weinstein's accusers
So much, so that he has already issued an apology on Twitter
He says to be clear sexual assault is no laughing matter
I was not trying to make light of Harvey's inexcusable behavior, but to shame him the abuser not his victims
I am truly sorry for anyone offended that was never my intention
But I gotta say he is
Still getting hammered on social media Shiva and Twitter says I'm of the opinion that if you need to explain your joke it wasn't funny
In this case it wasn't just unfunny it was inappropriate Susan chimed in saying it wasn't that you caused offense
But that you exploited the misfortune of others to try to be funny
But then you were not at all funny Rebecca chimed in saying really poor taste really bad timing
Really, not funny at all Saturday Night Live also addressed the situation
but they kind of took a different approach by making fun of how common a
Sexual harassment is in Hollywood so that appears to have gone over better than what James Corden did on Friday. What is the difference?
People are saying he's the comedian. He should be able to make jokes, but it's such a sensitive subject
Yeah, the Colin Kaepernick saga continues Carly
Yeah
This is the one that everyone is talking about stay the man that started the national anthem protest Colin Kaepernick has lawyered up
And he has filed a grievance
against the NFL accusing them of
Colluding to keep him out of the league now his lawyers issued this statement
Saying that the league has deprived mr.. Kaepernick of employment rights in retaliation for mr.
Kaepernick's leadership and advocacy for equality and social justice
But a lot of other people on social media saying yeah
We don't agree with that Jay says so I guess you're allowed to sue a company if they don't hire
You this is getting ridiculous grow up people JC tweeted should tim tebow join the collusion
lawsuit - and
Grace says you know people are not obligated
To hire a player, you know it's funny brought Tim Tebow. I was literally sitting at my desk this morning
I covered the Eagles when Tim Tebow was camping yes and listen
He didn't make the team going into the season right and I had that same exact yeah
You bring up Tim Tebow when you talk about Colin Kaepernick also should be pointed out that?
Colin Kaepernick opted out of his own contract so
yeah, I
Don't think that holds any water right now. This is
Look at this picture a very special celebration for Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Marcus Johnson before Thursday's game
Johnson was baptized in the away game
hotel pool
Everybody joined in and watched him get baptized. I think this is very nice
He posted that picture to Twitter saying first time being baptized corporate worship is a beautiful thing cleansed and reborn in
Jesus's name, so it seems like this is a very spiritual team. Yeah, you know what it's a fun team
I will say if you if you're not an Eagles fan, and you're not familiar with the team
It's been a long time since we've had a good season okay, and they're five and one right now
So they're just they're enjoying every moment there, so they want Thursday's game, so maybe God was on their side. Maybe there you go
All right 27 minutes after the hour Nancy Pelosi pretty high opinion of herself and now she's doubling down on it
I think I'm a great legislator stuff promotions a terrible thing, but clearly somebody has to do it
But is it finally time for president Trump to cut off Congress our panel weighs it next
I think that the biggest evidence for lack of experience in a job is the President of the United States
I think I'm a great legislator
Self-promotion is a terrible thing but clearly somebody has to do it
All right
Nancy Pelosi there defending herself touting herself as a great legislator going on to say that President Trump
Went rogue with the Iran deal and with his decision on health care
With the president set to meet with Mitch McConnell today
Is it finally time that he started thinking about ways to cut off Congress and get this job done himself?
he's not having a lot of luck thus far here to debate that Chuck roca Democratic strategist and
Alexandra Smith executive director of America rising the pack political action in the committee guys
Thank so much for coming on this morning Chuck. We're gonna start with you
You know I it's below. She kind of sounded like Donald Trump. They're taking some of that self-promotion to heart
