Transcripts For FOXNEWS America Reports 20240905

The department on their findings . You heard the ag a moment ago saying that the Justice Department stands ready to provide resources and support in the days ahead. What is been going on for the past four years . Its obviously intentional. In these couple months leading up to the election they want to put people on notice to not intimidate, harass, all of the above anyone who is part of an election or watching these polls and the like. This is a Task Force they put together some time it appeared im not entirely surprised. It is certainly part for the course for this Department Of Justice to do something like this. Again, im much more interested in what is happening with iran with respect to the United States and how they are trying to actively undermine our election in 2024 and hurt Donald Trump and wondering why the administration has not taken more serious action on the front. John when you think about the days ahead, lets remember in two days voters in North Carolina start casting early ballots. Timely. Sandra thank you very much. If you could stand by with us. We will bring in andy. John thank you. Lets bring in Andy Mccarthy former assistant in fox News Contributor. You typically are nonplussed by most doj action. What you think of this . I think it cant be disaggregated from everything else that you guys just discussed. Im thinking of last Nights Indictment of dead people which i have to tell you, i was a prosecutor for 20 years. I couldve piled up quite a number of wins if they had told me i could indict the dead. So i was a little bit astonished to find that last night but it seems to me that they are using their ability to message in order to help the democratic campaign obviously iran stuff is much more alarming than anything else that he laid out because that is a Hacking Operation on a candidate. What i get concerned about with the russian Disinformation Stuff is the same thing ive been concerned about over the last eight years which is the fbi and the Justice Department have turned russian disinformation into a Career Path for advancement. Theres very little evidence that it has any effect on american elections. It has been a fact going back decades that the russians interfere in our politics and we interfere in their politics. That goes back to the Cold War and that is the way it is. And the way that you combat messaging is with counter messaging. What i worry about is they pretextual he used a very vague russian threat in order to try and suppress information that they did not like and its a very precarious position i think for the government to put us in. Sandra Director Wray speaking at the moment ago. Rt has used people in the United States to disseminate prorussian propaganda. Seems his messaging on all of this is continuing. I guess the american people listening to these updates from these officials are wondering so what have we been doing about it and what sort of extreme or serious action are we taking . Is that being cleared out . From what i can gather, sander, and i looked at the Justice Departments Website Bee came on to have this discussion. They have seized these websites. They have identified them as Propaganda Sites that they link to the russian government and essentially they have shut them down in a forfeiture action. I dont get from what they are saying what the impact is on the election in terms of what the messaging they have put out is. And how its dangerous to us. Im fine with shutting down anything that the russians are using to further their agenda but i just think the danger here is they pretextual he use to put pressure on, for example, Tech Platforms in order to suppress messaging that americans should have access to john andy, thank you for your thoughts. Maybe you could standby with us in Case Anything else comes. Its interesting to note that they mention iran but did not announce any action being taken against iran. Lets bring in bret baier, host of Special Report and she political anchor. Did you find it interesting . They shut down all these websites and they are accusing people of Money Laundering and spreading influence. All important violations but they acknowledge that iran is messing around and wanted to kill a former president but we will leave them alone. It was interesting. The only specific example was the iran example of what iran has been doing as far as trying to infiltrate these campaigns. You look at the specifics here. 10 million. By this russian group. In the big picture, there are plenty of actors online and Social Media who are spending much, much more than that to influence a lot of people across Social Media. I think this was a public face to say we are not going to put up with countries interfering but as far as examples, this is not a huge example of interference that has happened. Sandra i wonder if we will hear more from them. All of the Statement Set of input out from the Justice Department and christopher wray, all of his comments just now focused on russia. And not the threat from iran. It is noticeably absent. And it goes one way. The outcome they want to see is not have former President Trump elected because they feel like they are in a better position. The Bidenharris Administration and that negotiation and what they are. The Attorney General made mention of that. They did not say they were press any charges. John we should mention at the lower righthand corner of your screen, you see live pictures from Winder Georgia, nd erroneously a couple of times. We hope to get the latest on that School Shooting coming up a couple of hours. A greater level of detail that we got in the last hour. When Kerri Urbahn was here, she mentioned something else. If you are dinging russia shouldnt you dating iran but what about the former u. S. Intelligence official that said this Laptop Story shows russian Disinformation Campaigns when in fact it was true. And why are they not being called out for Election Interference because that information could have changed the outcome of the 2020 election. If we rewind to that moment, the former Vice President , Vice President at the time uses that as the former Vice President at the time uses that as a Talking Point in that debate as a shield for anything talking about the hunter biden laptop. This is trying to prevent outside influences from influencing our election. But they are there. If were going to bring forward more information, we would like to see it. Right now everything that we have is not overwhelming but we have forgotten if you have not watch this channel, you forgot about the 51 and you have forgotten about the hunter biden laptop. But it does not get covered other places. It gets covered here. John you have a lot to chew over. We will see you tonight. Sandra we will see you tonight. Meanwhile the ongoing Situation And Investigation out of georgia. Steve harrigan is joining us with new details. Steve, still what we know so far was to mark an unknown number of injuries on the suspect has been arrested. And what was described as a chaotic scene there in georgia with officers swarming that campus and students rushing for shelter in the football stadium. What can you tell us now . You are right. It was chaotic a few hours ago but right now that chaos has faded. Theres a huge Law Enforcement Presence on the ground here. You have state and local authorities as well as the fbi, helicopters as well flying overhead but there seems to be a real effort to tamp down the sirens. Just a lot of blue Flashing Lights as now parents are reuniting with their children. The key facts, we still dont know. We know there are multiple gunshot victims. We dont know how many or how many dead. Also the shooter is in custody appeared we dont know anything about the shooter whether he was a student here or what his connection is to the High School of about 2,000 feared we are also hearing anecdotal Reports Y people were injured or trying to flee from the shooting. There was a stampede of people trying to get away. Broken arms, broken legs. The senior pulling up to this shooting, one of several School Shootings i have been to, you just see cars parked as if people leapt out of them from a mile on out of The School. Just people abandoning their cars on the sidewalk and running. This is not just a High School here but there is a day care, and Elementary School as well. When there is a shooting in the area, you got the sense that of course Parents Drop whatever they were doing, raced to the scene and walking up with traffic blocked off for about a mile you saw a parent after parent carrying their children, carrying the taller, carrying an infant in 90 Degrees Heat trying to get away from the scene. A lot of looks of panic on the faces here. John john here. As you can imagine, a parents worst nightmare. Weve gotten calls that by the way your student is absent. What are you talking about . You can imagine that you hear of a lockdown because of an active shooter, you will rush to The School and try to do whatever you can. As we remember those poor parents in uvalde, texas, when they were there and no one was trying to get in and get their children, they were saying let us go and appeared we will face the shooter, we dont care. We need to get our children. The fact that people were injured potentially in the rush to get away from the shooter would be an indication that the inplace inside of The School we have no nothing up until now bee the sheriff said nothing around the circumstances. We know from Georgia Medical that one gunshot victim was transported to a medical center in Barrow County and another was to North East general medical system in gainesville not too far away and we know of the Trauma Patient who was airlifted to grady. That is three gunshot injuries. That would account for at least some of the injuries that the sheriff was talking about. Which would seem to indicate that maybe all of the people who were wounded that were taken to hospital. It doesnt say whether or not anybody perished in the sho shooting. Right. We expect to hear more detail, harder detail at 4 00 in a Press Conference. Theyve been very careful trying to coordinate the response. You have a lot of Law Enforcement from different agencies on the ground so being very cautious in the amount of information they are giving out right now but at least one serious gunshot wound. We saw the Medevac Helicopter take someone out. Of course, multiple trauma one level hospitals in georgia so many of those wounded by gunshot taken to those hospitals. People are coming together and you see people coming down from the houses in this neighborhood and bring out food, bringing out snacks to the people who are rescuing their children, taking matters in some cases into their own hands to make sure their own kids are safe today. John Steve Harrigan for us with the very latest on this and steve we will be getting back to you throughout the afternoon as more information comes to light. Thank you sir. Sandra lets bring in Gwendolyn Cook now. She has grandchildren who attend apalachee High School in georgia and when she heard what happened, she rushed right to the scene and thankfully, gwendolyn, thank you for joining us per you have learned that they are okay. Yes, they are okay. Sandra thank god. What did you hear and what did you see when you arrived on the scene . I know you rush right over. When i arrived on the scene, i had seen a lot of parents panicking. They were running, they were crying, they were screaming. Stuff like that doesnt happen in this area. So it was very different for a lot of us. John gwendolyn, John Roberts here in washington. Unfortunately we get the bad news at this moment from the Georgia Bureau of investigation that four people have perished in that shooting this morning. We do not know if they were students or if they were faculty but the report from the Georgia Bureau of investigation, the four that perished, three were taken to the hospital. We pray that is the Sum Total of all of the injuries and that No One Else was injured or may have suffered in some other way. I know you were in touch with your oldest granddaughter via text when all of this happen and the alert went out. Tell us what the substance of the conversation on the text was between you and your oldest granddaughter. She texted me and told me that she says we are on a serious lockdown and i said whats going on . She said we just heard gunshots right outside our classroom. Their teacher went and locked the door and they were screaming and hollering and crying and everything in the classroom. She told me she went and hid behind the Teachers Desk and kids were all over the place in the classroom but i do thank the teacher for locking the door of the classroom. John thank god they did that. Sandra they have all been through so much. Gwendolyn, when you were able to talk to your grandchildren, were they able to give you any information about the shooter . Did they see anybody or heard if it was a student at The School . They say it was a student that is at The School the previous year and it was more than one shooter. They said it was three different shooters because they heard shots in different areas of The School campus. My oldest granddaughter is in fourth grade and i have two in the ninth grade. My grandson, one of his friends was shot and killed. And my granddaughter, one of her best friends was shot in the arm. But i dont know if shes okay or whatever but they were shot. And one was shot in the leg and one was shot as well. John just reading this object from the Georgia Bureau of investigation, gwendolyn. Four dead, an additional nine taken to various hospitals with injuries. The suspect, a single suspect in custody and alive. I was mentioning to our correspondence Steve Harrigan that we have gotten a couple of notifications that were in error from our Kids School that were reaching out to let you know your child is not at school today. And the panic that sets in when you hear that you think what mightve happened . I cant imagine what went through your mind when you heard about an active shooter at your granddaughter school. My husband and i, we are pastors, we teach our grandchildren to pray. That is something that we do every single morning. So we know god is protecting them anyway and we always pray. I was a Teacher And Stuff can happen but i was a little bit nervous because two of them texted me and one didnt text me until later on. When all three of them texted me to let me know they were okay, i was fine after that. Sandra im sorry gwendolyn. We are getting another update here. In addition to the four confirmed dead, and additional nine taken to various hospitals with injuries. Suspect is in custody and alive. Reports that the suspect has been neutralized are inaccurate. As you can imagine, theres a lot of various reporting that has not yet been confirmed by the officials there. They are asking for patients from the public and they will give another update shortly. As far as your granddaughters, they have been reunited with their mother, correct . Yes. My daughter is there with them. My daughter works and i work from home. Shes closer than my daughter was so i will went immediately to the rescue. John do you know, did your granddaughter ever tell you whether or not The School conducted active Shooter Drills . They never mentioned anything about that because this is a nice area. This is a very nice community. Out in the suburbs area. We didnt expect something like this to happen out here.
