>> ainsley: we lived it, too. we live in new york and see so many people moving to florida. >> brian: while you were picking out that great out fit, your producers booked a show. >> pete: we have a great show this weekend, vivek ramaswamy, mike johnson, now speaker, trying to negotiate on capitol hill and elise stefanik. >> brian: front-runner as vice president if donald trump gets nominated. >> ainsley: you think front-runner? >> pete: in the top pier of people he's looking at. >> brian: kick us off the third hour. >> pete: the third and final hour of "fox and friends" starts right now. ♪ ♪ >> lawrence: we're live in alpharetta, georgia. time to go see what the people are saying in georgia. let's go! what's up, georgia? [cheering] what's happening? what's happening? that's right, guys. i will tell you what is going on. what is happening. what is happening? how you doing? what's up? we're here because -- what's happening? [cheering] >> lawrence: so we had governor ron desantis here. he was here live on "fox and friends" to talk about how he dealt with the lies on the stage last night with gavin newsom, who is effectively governing a failing state and sean hannity put it on the board for everyone to see, brian and ainsley. gavin newsom lied at every turn. >> ainsley: i thought it depends, democrat or republican, they looked and sounded presidential. depends how you vote. if you are conservative, you don't agree with the guy on the right. but ari fleischer, when sean interviewed him, he said democrats are from mars and republicans are from ven us, last night it was clear. >> brian: more nuance. i wrote this down, shall i share with you? >> lawrence: let's hear it. >> brian: i wrote desantis is not vulnerable on covid, taxes, illegal immigrants and border, he is stronger and took hits for being mean to the lgbtq community, losing to trump and the six-week abortion, they said a lot of women don't know they are pregnant until six weeks, why pass something like that. newsom looks vulnerable on high taxes, homelessness, hypocrisy with french laundry and his kids being in public school. >> ainsley: unemployment, feces on the street. >> brian: right, ainsley didn't like my list. >> ainsley: i loved the list, i'm just adding. >> lawrence: go ahead, brian. >> brian: these two were going at it last night, if you missed it, watch. >> governor desantis: i was talking to a fellow who made the move from california to florida and telling me florida is better governed, safer, better budget, lower taxes and happy with the quality of life. he paused and said, by the way, i'm gavin newsom a father-in-law, we count gavin's inlaws as people who have fled california. gavin newsom i can handle it. i am used to it, you are bullying. >> governor desantis: california does have freedoms other states don't, you have freedom to defecate in public in california, freedom to pitch a tent on sunset boulevard, freedom to create a homeless encampment under a freeway and light it on fire. >> governor newsom: neither of us will be the nominee for our party in 2024. >> governor desantis: we have to get real here and understand biden has no business running for president and gavin newsom agrees with that, he won't say that, that is why he's running his shadow campaign. >> governor newsom: i will take joe biden at 100 versus ron desantis any age. >> brian: go ahead, lawrence. >> lawrence: when i got here to the diner, obviously knew ron desantis was going to be here. i asked him about their opinion of the debate and the folks were clear they felt ron desantis won. they did not like gavin newsom denying the reality. i asked them, who are you going to support. a lot of folks here, we are in georgia, support donald trump. i go, but do you like ron desantis? we like him, but we don't feel like it is his time. we had the governor on and i challenged him, i said, i've been going to diners, people love you, they don't feel like it is your time. so after our segment, he took i guess 10 to 15 minutes and diners or whatever you make of them, american people. he talked to voters about his agenda, of course he won the debate against newsom, will he win the primary against donald trump? it will take leg work and winning over the trump voters in diners across america. today demonstrated he wanted to put in the work. the question is it too late? >> brian: it is about iowa. only candidate to go to all 99, he got bob vanderplot, and he moved his staff to iowa. he feels if he can take iowa, he has to win it, he can get momentum and close the gap, make it seem donald trump is vulnerable, close the gap. nikki haley is gaining money and steam. no one getting close to president trump right now whachl is your thought overall? do you feel as though he felt he won? >> lawrence: yeah, i think he did. he felt like he won the debate. there is an argument he did based on the record, the question is also, though, will some independent buy the swagger and the framing of newsom's lies? if you have friends not a part of your political ideology, you know some can be easily influenced and i hear it all the time. he's great. he talks a certain way. he's likeable. that matters to voters. >> ainsley: i was watching with someone from florida, when gavin newsom said ron desantis closed the beaches, they said, no he didn't. then desantis said you closed disney world, we had it open and it affected employees and people and tourists. people were going to florida in droves, we cannot forget covid, it could happen again. ron desantis was a hero during that time period, they were not making kids get vaccinated and covid death rate. florida in the middle and california on the right. florida and california were about the same, so many factors go into that, ron desantis was letting people go to disney world, on the beaches and they didn't have to wear masks. >> brian: they also -- they poured sand in the skate parks. >> lawrence: so true and then ainsley, you make the point, people were coming to florida, it wasn't just people, it was democrats shutting down their states and then vacationing -- >> brian: aoc. >> lawrence: you saw, they did not believe their policy. [cheering] >> brian: give you an example, they asked me to interview jim gray for his special and i'm in los angeles and here we are opened up in new york and florida and in los angeles, i could not find any place to buy breakfast, not even the hotel. everything was closed because of covid, what do you expect to do with shop owners and restaurant owners? people inner toos. find out what the people of georgia, georgia went to joe biden last time. >> lawrence: i know, georgia went to joe biden, is that going to happen again? >> no. >> lawrence: i have to check for the record. you said dolly for president. >> i say dolly for president. >> lawrence: let me ask you this, big debate last night, who do you think won the debate? >> sean hannity pretty well. >> lawrence: he did a great job. >> he had stats and desantis was just proving his point and gavin newsom was bullying him and he was just nasty and slick and desantis won the day. >> lawrence: ma'am, what do you feel? who won the debate last night? >> i agree, disappointing that was the approach gavin newsom wanted to take as opposed to defending his position. he has nothing to defend and so he just tried to slip his way out of it and tried to hurt the other candidate and that made him look terrible. >> lawrence: thank you, ma'am. talk with more folks, my new friend here. you got to meet ron desantis for the first time. how do you think he did on the debate stage last night? >> i think he did great on the debate stage and gavin newsom did not answer one question. sean had to ask him three times, but you didn't answer the question. he just ignored it and went to his talking points and definitely ron desantis won. >> lawrence: thank you, ma'am. one more taebl. how you doing, ma'am? who do you think won the debate last night? >> desantis by a mile. >> lawrence: who do you think won? >> desantis. >> lawrence: now we have desantis won the debate. who is going to be the nominee for the republican party? we still got a primary going on. it is tough, there are good ones out there, they got to prove themselves. >> lawrence: who is going to be the nominee? >> i couldn't say right now, not yet. >> lawrence: show of hands, just heard from ron desantis, who thinks desantis will be the nominee for republican party. raise your hand. who thinks nikki haley will be nominee. who thinks vivek ramaswamy will be the nominee? who thinks donald trump will be the nominee? [cheering] >> lawrence: okay. that is why we go to the diners, to get the pulse of the country. back to you, ainsley and brian. >> ainsley: huge restaurant, massive. >> brian: they are up early in georgia. >> ainsley: we love georgia, thank you. to a fox news alert, rocket sirens are going off in northern israel, towns previously targeted by hezbollah. to the south carrying out strikes and terror strikes in gaza after limited ceasefire. >> brian: renewed fighting started again after israelis detailed alarming treatment about the treatment of hostages. >> hamas drug our children and branded them with burns from motorcycle exhaust pipes to identify them in case they tried to escape. hamas treated our people worse than animals and we will put hamas down. >> brian: still some people in gaza fighting anyway. let's go to greg palkot live in southern israel. greg. >> greg: we are about a mile away from the gaza strip, we have strong evidence that the war between israel and hamas is on and that ceasefire is gone. an hour ago, we had two hamas rockets come from the gaza strip, hitting overhead this town, luckily the iron dome defenses worked and knocked them out of the sky. we've been seeing israeli airstrikes and artillery and hearing a lot of automatic gunfire coming from gaza, a sign that israel could well be clashing with hamas right now, a sign that hamas is not completely down, even in the northern part of gaza. strongest strikes are in the south, it is believed that is where hamas leadership has moved to. there are civilians there causing problems. how did this break down? both sides blaming each other after 100 hostageses were freed, israel says hamas did not produce an adequate list of hostages to be released. hamas said it did. hamas was attacks with rockets in various towns along the border before the ceasefire was over yesterday. israel been hitting along the gaza strip. they say they are warning individuals and assurance given to secretary of state blinken to that effect, but there are claimed casualties, dozens of casualties on this new day of fighting between israel and hamas. again, to the hostages which continue to be a huge story. eight were released yesterday, including 21-year-old mia, who was reunited with her joyous family. sadly, as you noted, the horror stories are coming out of what individuals had to endure week after week after week in hamas captivity and today, sad news we've learned that two hostages, it was believed held captive by hamas in fact they had been killed. two more israelis killed in this terror rampage in the past couple of months in this area. bad stuff everyday. back to you. >> ainsley: do you have details, names or where they are from? >> greg: they are israelis in the ages of 40 in the case of one and 86 years old in the case of the other, one of the oldest hostages held, adding to sadness. >> brian: can you imagine kidnapping an 86-year-old. >> ainsley: or branding a child. >> brian: carley shimkus has news. >> carley: japanese officials are expressing concern over the u.s. decision to keep ospreys in the air following a deadly crash on wednesday, when a war plane crashed off japan's southwest coast during a routine mission. at least one crew member was killed. that search and rescue is still ongoing. the fbi offering a $10,000 reward as they search for two men who carjacked a special agent at gunpoint near capitol hill. the carjackers didn't go far, the chevy malibu was found less than a mile from where it was stolen. henry henry cuellar joined us earlier to discuss the d.c. crime crisis. >> you got to support police and have the right laws to have repercussions, if somebody breaks the law, you have to enforce that law. >> carley: the criminals who took henry cuellar's car have not been caught. and help guests get lost in new york city at christmas time like kevin. >> this is one of our finest suites, sir. ♪ ♪ >> this is great. wow. huge bed just for me. >> carley: this is cool, the package you could win includes a four-hour private limo ride tour around the city passing holiday hot spots and guests get a large cheese pizza and 16-scoop ice cream sundae, rates vary depending on room type. those are headlines. it is a package, you have to pay for it. >> ainsley: my daughter would love that. >> carley: big cheese pizza and hotel bed in the plaza. >> ainsley: it is every child's favorite movie, even my kids down south, their kids love "home alone 2." >> carley: right now he's into baby shark. >> aren't you tired of that.

>> so, brian, i have not unpacked this and won't out of respect to the process i'm going with the doj, for me to start talking about this, i go ahead and forego my rights and undermine process and due process that the doj has afforded me unlike the ethics decision. for me to start talking is what my opponents would like me to do to incriminate myself, hurt my chances on my criminal case, i will not answer those questions today, sir. >> three money laundering, 23 criminal charges overall. they had a couple votes that did not work. this might be different, only five members of congress have been expelled, what it mean to you to be sixth? how do you process that? >> it has not sunken in, it is tough thing to digest, especially when i have come here, all work i've done in this body has been above board. nobody can question my ethics and conduct in congress. unlike my colleagues who are on drunken tirades going after their former staff, but i'm being pinned for this nonsense and here i am about to join a long history of due process of people who committed atrocities meanwhile, i've been only accused. i have a scheduled court appearance for next year, but these guys want an expedient conclusion now. they don't care what the facts are. they put in the report that i was exonerated for sexual harassment. the committee did not suggest expulsion and he's riding this along with long island republicans in new york, hypocrisy at its finest. >> brian: yesterday you filed ethics violation to jamaal bowman and bowman said this, no one in congress takes george santos seriously, this is a meaningless stunt. your reaction? >> the reaction is he's a criminal, he admitted in court and obstructed a federal proceeding and everybody known had he been a republican, he would have been indictod felony charge of obstructing official proceeding. >> brian: i know gaetz says he will not vote to expel yboebert will not vote to expel you. do you think you will be expelled today?

>> i can go and rehash everything, but it has been loudly documented on all questions you just asked and short answer is would i not have said certain things, absolutely, i'm an adult and mature enough. to think i built my life over the last couple months is not fair, not true and dishonest. i have a life, people that have been around me my entire life who are appalleded at what the media -- >> brian: you don't think you brought this on yourself? >> in some way, we all bring things on ourselves, i just acknowledged, i bear responsibility, what has been made out of mistakes in the past that i admitted to on national television on this network with tulsi gabbard last december, i dare members of congress have the courage to come on here and tell national television what i did and own up to shortcomings and have humility to do so. >> brian: you expect to be expelled today? >> i don't expects, i believe they have the votes. the congressman said he had 150, walked it back to 1 20, they need 77. >> brian: we'll see and we have another election in november. >> i hope you have a shot at a conservative, you won't know what a conservative looks like once i'm gone. >> brian: thanks so much and peter king did have that seat for a long time. best of luck. battle of governors, desantis and newsom spar in a prime-time special. >> it's a factual lie that the state of california has highest tax rate, but for whom. >> you have $6 or $7 a gallon gas, how do they afford that?
