Day i think the main thing is im probably going to have to find another route and it might be family or it might be trying to switch my schedule around at work which is going to be difficult. So many people are all for helping other countries, were helping ukraine a lot and helping other countries and helping immigrants come into our country. We need to help our own American Children and families like yours. Ashley, josephine, thank you so much for coming on. We appreciate it. Okay. The second hour of fox friends starts right now. [jazzy upbeat] lawrence now, you may think this is new orleans, but its not. Suspects timmie valley. You are listening to the Brass Animals perform live from the Reagan National library ahead of tonights debate. I love the band. Ainsley i love the name, the Brass Animals. Lawrence, if they gave you a show and you called it lawrence and the animals. Lawrence i love that. Ainsley how fun is that any time you include animals reminds me of the muppets. Brian remember animal steel the wrestler very hairy guy . Lawrence very masculine. Steve you are looking at the campus of the Ronald Reagan library out there. Pete hegseth Big Man On Campus at 5 02 pacific time and, pete, you have a busy day because you are going to be on fox nation tonight as they take the stage for fox business channel. Pete im the Big Man On Campus because im the only man on campus right now. Ainsley you are still the big man. Pete there you go. Big man for a moment. Its 4 00 a. M. And the Brass Animals are playing and this is all glass. So its all echoing. Its only six people but its very powerful here at the reagan president ial library. As you mentioned, obviously fox business is hosting the second debate tonight and dana perino and Stuart Varney will be hosting. We are also covering on fox nation. You want a little precoverage. I will be there with will cain and rachel camposduffy and joey jones. In the commercial breaks, come to fox nation while you are watching. We will give you, you know, some analysis during the breaks and post show coverage. Sean is having everybody come into the spin room. We will be talking to people, too. As the spin room all happens on fox nation. But you know, guys, its a Pretty Cool Environment here. I will give you a little sneak peek. Its, you know, what, 12 hours away. 14 hours away. We have a nice little perch here above the debate stage. 600 people will be in here tonight. Seven podiums. Eight last time. No asa hutchison, no donald trump. In the center will be ron desantis flanking him. Vivek ramaswamy and nikki haley. Got a little information. This air force one. They brought it n 20085, when they expanded the reagan president ial library. Pullerred it up on a semitrailer and boeing came in and put the wings on it afterwards. 600,000 miles Ronald Reagan flew in that thing and service all the way ford in 72 to george w. Bush in 2001. We might get a look in there later on. Its an awesome setting here for the big debate tonight and honor to be here. Steve since it is air force one. Technically, it still belongs to the air force, right . Its probably just on loan . Pete its on loan. Took it 100 miles from air force base on loan. I dont think there is plans any time soon to remove it, steve. Good luck trying to get it out here. Brian dont know exactly what to expect. The big surprise last time was vivek ramaswamy, he commanded the stage and his comments got mike pence going and also got governor nikki haley going. I know senator tim scott said afterwards, man, i should have interrupted more. He was following the rules. Do you get the sense that all of them have a better idea of what to do and theres going to be strategy is going to be going after vivek . Pete very much so. There has been a lot of Opposition Research on vivek and nikki haley. You are going to see ron desantis in the middle and then you have got Vivek And Haley who went after it. The question is how much is ron desantis, the governor, in the middle of those exchanges as well. Mike pence will be on the far end along with doug burgum. There is a lot of Campaign Teams doing the after Action Review last time. How do we do differently . And if you are going to start shining it better be now. These debates get important considering how strong Donald Trumps poll numbers are if you want to start breaking out, you have to make a splash on stage. I do think they will be going a lot of a vivek and probably nikki haley as well who has had a bump. Ainsley i wonder if he will go after ron desantis . They really didnt last time. Pete you are exactly right. They said they liked that the campaign did initially. Ultimately he got left out of a lot of the those exchanges. He will be involved more in scraps tonight. Center podium again with donald trump not here. Is he there thats going to draw incoming no matter what. How many times do you get a chance to address 35 Million People . Pete exactly. Lawrence you spend time in our diners all across the country each candidate is looking for a moment. Especially to go against Donald Trumps big lead what do you think they need to do to speak to that maga base to really get them on their side . Is there anything they can do tonight on the stage . Pete i have been thinking about this ever since this campaign kicked off. How do you garner maga support, trump support, which is the base of the Republican Party while differentiating yourself from the original without offending Trump Supporters in the process and i dont know that i have seen anyone thread that needle very well yet. There is a lot of America First policies and then you have got all these indictments and then polls show trump is beating biden by 10 . Not an easy thing to do. We will see if any of them can capture that lightning in a bottle tonight. Brian pace yourself, peter. I dont want you nodding off tonight. Pete i was nodding off 10 minutes ago im going to go back to that. Ainsley are you going to be in the spin room tonight . Pete i will with sean. Ainsley you could see brian off to the back of sean hannity i was like you were trying to find interviews. Brian let me in im come on . Must have felt bad for me. Ainsley you are going to be on some of the shows. Steve in the spin room, the governor of the great State Of California is actually going to be on the at the campus because he, essentially is joe bidens surrogate. When they talk about joe biden tonight, gavin newsom is going to be right there its interesting and you have got figure as well a lot of the candidates tonight are not going to be shooting at each other. They are going to be shooting at joe biden. Joe biden was the topic of podcast. Bill mahers podcast yesterday with james carvel. And essentially what james carvel said this is an extraordinary situation. He said democrats need wake the f up because joe biden is a problem. And if the election were held if the election were held this year, hes not sure that joe biden would win. And he said the Democratic Party, and this is the problem. The Democrat Party has morphed into as you are about to hear him describe it, something weird. There is a certain coastal arrogance in this country and people feel it. The western far left is habitually the most stupid naive people you can imagine. They come up with these really goofy constructs and its all about feeling. Feeling . Feeling good about yourself. Or just feeling as opposed to like free speech, like if you your feelings are hurt, thats more important than free speech. Most people dont even know what they are talking about. Overeducated coastal white people do Everything Else they completely [bleep] it up and everybody in the country off. Now you are speaking my language. If we just could get the humanities faculty at amherst to shut the [bleep] up would be a lot better off. Steve wow, that was excellent. Ainsley bill maher went on to compare joe biden than ruth bader ginsburg. She stayed in longer than the democrats wanted and is he staying in. Lawrence james carvel is a democrat. Not a liberal. This is a guy from louisiana that spends his time with a Diverse Group of people. What he said is you guys are talking over peoples heads. All this Gender Ideology Stuff they dont understand this nonsense. They dont understand you trying to reeducate their children. You are not talking about the economy in a palatable way. You are not talking about all this ev stuff when people are just trying to get to work on a daytoday basis. Child care stuff. He did go after the republicans as well. He still thinks that the Republican Party is crazy. But what he is saying is the way that the Democratic Party is talking about it from these academic, these woke, white liberals that are trying to indoctrinate your children, its just not going to work in this election, brian. Steve take a shot at University Like he did at the end, thats extraordinary. Brian he says a couple other things, too, i think is important. Him and bill maher are singing the bill clinton type. This is what i think but this is what i have to deal with. Lets be practical. That is a 1990s approach to it which i think the country needs. I dont have the majority in the house or the senate lets not propose radical things we cant afford. We ended up with zero deficit. We longterm literally balanced the budget. No deficit. Look what has happened since. Is he trying to talk some sense into it except for just stop with the white and black thing, listen, you have elite people at all these universities that come out with these idealistic ways in which our country should live and these criticisms about what our country has done and its not effective. The average person and bill maher can appreciate it because he is a comic and he travels the whole country. He leaves the west coast all the time he will go to ohio and texas. He will go to small towns and big towns where he sells out and he knows that this is not way people think. What is so amazing about what we are ceiling with on daily basis. We used to talk about tax cuts and we used to talk about even obamacare. Oh, this is not going to work. You dont understand. We used to have interesting debates. Now these debates are so idiotic about can you be on your pronounce on the border. What do you think the border is it going well . Does anyone in the country think this is a good policy . Does anyone in the country think that they even know the president knows what is going on are we pretending that the president is actually with it on a daily basis . Other people are pretending as if the rest of the country is just stupid. Thats what carvel and bill maher is talking about. They havent changed. They are never going to vote for trump or desantis or governor nikki haley. Steve he made it very clear. Democrats need to wake up. And speaking of waking up at the white house, it sounds like there is a dog that is barking and biting people. Probably waking people up. There is commander, the dog. Ainsley not cujo, its commander. Steve has bitten another 11th Nittany Lion biting incident 2yearold German Shepherd white house and delaware. There is apparently an officer was hospitalized because the dog clamped down on their arms and thighs . And in july they said a new training and leashing protocol would be used. Now, keep in mind, remember the dog major bit people . They had to move that out and then commander came n, i think the summer of 2021. There was one incident last october where the first lady, jill biden could not apparently regain control of the dog as it charged a Secret Service agent. Lawrence of course. Steve the secret Service Agents are worried essentially its a significant hazard. They have got to watch the president and make sure nobody does anything to him and they have to watch out for the dog. Ainsley lawrence, what do you think about this . Because you have a dog how would you describe your dog . Lawrence she a working dog. They have no control of the dog. Mine is a belgium but i trained German Shepherds as well. If my dog would have bit someone one time it probably would have gotten down. Because this is the president s dog its not a bad dog. Its a bad handler. Steve or training. Lawrence its clear that the president as well as jill biden havent been working with the dog and there hasnt been one person. The Secret Service, they have k9s as well they know how to work with dogs. The problem is these dogs have not been trained. Brian number one there is no budget to get this dog a trainer. Number two the dog doesnt belong there number three the head of the Secret Service has to step up and say to the white house. Im not putting my Men And Women In Trouble this is not a joke and by the way i have had four German Shepherds. And if you make a mistake for example and let your friend go in the house first, they will attack. Lawrence thats right. Brian i had this great German Shepherd one time my friend went into the house before me and got bitten at the arm. The first thing they say at the Emergency Room do you want the dog put down. How in the hell do you bite a human being 11 times and not adjust that . I know he is president. But you have to make a move here. You have had about a dozen dogs i imagine in your life. Ainsley can you train the biting out of the dog . Lawrence can you train it out. The problem is they have let major have a bite. Once the dog gets that taste of blood and the way its been done, it changes the dog. So, honestly, i hate to say, this its too late. Its too late with this dog. Brian the Secret Service you got to get them out of there. Lawrence get him out of the white house. This dog doesnt belong. They need to stop just replacing the dog. Its not a dog stop getting new dogs. Its not going to solve the problem. If the dogs havent been trained, youre just going to continue to have the same issue. Ainsley get a yorkie. If you get a new dog, send it to lawrence, lawrence will train the dog. Steve that would be great. Lawrence put it on me. Steve put it in the white house. Lawrence also, stop getting German Shepherds. They are working dogs. You cant just have them caged up and everything like that. This is not the proper dog for the white house. Go get a poodle. Go get a Golden Retriever, something that is just family, friendly that you dont have to put a lot of training in there. Ainsley toy poodle. Best dog i ever had. I feel bad even saying that gosh my toy poodle is so good. She is the easiest dog i have ever had. She is so good. Potty on the we we pad. Steve they need a Golden Retriever. The Golden Retriever will go and lick everybody. Ainsley hayden wants a Golden Retriever. I say next time. Lawrence clean up the hair nice. Ainsley british something Golden Retriever. Steve british cream. They are so beautiful. Ratings. Fox news channel number one for. Ainsley thank you forever. Steve dozens and dozens of years. Ainsley brian and steve are the ori originals. Steve i remember taylor swift was here when she was 14 years old. Ainsley you all made her famous. Steve she made the Kansas City Chiefs famous. Fox kept taking pictures of her in that box with the mother of travis kelci it. Turned out to be the number one broadcast of the week. The number one broadcast with women of all ages. And fox sports sent out a Press Release that said americas game of the week swiftly scores the most watched telecast of the week. Brian meanwhile a blow out by the way. 4010. Ainsley read some of the stats its crazy. Steve go to the videotape, because taylor swift was there 400 percent spike in travis kelce merch. Three time increase in chiefs sale on stub hub. Sold more tickets since the start of the tense. Will kelsey adds 300,000 instagram followers. 24. 3 Million People watched. Number one game of the week. 63 jump in female viewers age 1849. The Kansas City Chiefs, im sure would like to say thank you taylor swift. Lawrence travis and his brother have a podcast finally addressed the rumor. Lets watch. We have been avoiding this subject out of respect for your personal life. Now we have got to talk about it . Yeah. My personal life thats not so personal. I did this to myself, jason. I know this. Well, trav how does it feel that taylor swift has finally put you on the map . Ainsley he is cute. Is he a cute guy. Then there is this running joke that when girlfriends online on social media are saying that she is responsible for putting him on the map and all the guys are saying are you kidding me . He was in the super bowl . We have known him forever. Watch this. We have a clip of that, right . Steve we do. Put travis kelce on the map like he was irrelevant before. No, he wasnt. He is like a super star football player. I dont think hes that good. Travis kelce arguably the best tight end of all time. She is going to be get his career going and the economy. Because its going to explode when he was winning super bowls. Taylor swift with him he has a good fan base. No, do
