On the east coast on a friday it is march 8th, and this is fox friends. President biden finally invoking laken rileys name at last nights State Of The Union. But, not without saying her name incorrectly. Lincoln, lincoln riley, an innocent young woman who was killed by an illegal. Lawrence senator katie britt sounded off in the republican response. President biden proudly proclaims that bidenomics is working. Goodness, yall, bless his heart. Lawrence the senator from the great State Of Alabama will join fox friends with an exclusive. Ainsley back in the kitchen. Brian put him in, coach. We introduce a 5yearold Basketball Coach taking the internet by storm. Hes fantastic. Youre not going to believe the video when we qu cue it up. Joey fox friends starts right now and remember, mornings are better with friends. Ainsley President Biden giving his third state of the Union Address last night, laying out his agenda and shifting his focus to the november election. Lawrence the president Touting Bidenomics and Climate Policies while barely mentioning the border. Brian Madeleine Rivera with what was and wasnt in the speech along with the structure. Maddy . The president s tone was defiant as he tries to quell voters concerns about his age, Mental Acuity and whether he has what it takes to run the country for ghor four years. His 67minute speech was an owning salvo ahead of what is expected to be a tough and bitter rematch against former President Trump. Though he never mentioned trump by name, he referred to him as his predecessor at least a dozen times. The president opening his remarks by drawing contrast with trump on ukraine as he tried to stress that democracies around the world are on the line. Overseas, putin of russia is on the march, invading ukraine and sowing chaos around europe and beyond. If anybody thinks he wonhewill stop with ukraine i ae you he will not. The threat to democracy must be defended. On the border the president is trying to flip the script on republicans and he slammed trump for his rhetoric on immigrants. And if my predecessor is watching, instead of paying politics and pressuring Members Of Congress to block the bill, join me in telling the congress to pass it. I will not demonize immigrants saying they are poison in the blood of our country. Trump was not the president s only target. He rebuked the Supreme Court for their decision to overturn roe v. Wade. Look, its a decision to overturn roe v. Wade the Supreme Court majority wrote the following and with all due respect, justices, women are not without electoral power excuse me, electoral or political power. There were disruptions. The president was interrupted by a gold star father steve nicuy whose son was one of the Service Presence killed during abby gate. He was arrested by capitol police. [shouting] biggest increase in history. While democrats praise his energy, republicans say his speech was partisan and divisive. Former President Trump saying this was an angry, polarizing, and hatefilled speech. He barely mentioned immigration or the worst border in the history of the world. The president and other members of the administration will fan out across the country in the coming days to drive home his State Of The Union message. Guys, back to you. Ainsley what stood out to you last night. Lawrence i dont know what tools or strategies they used for the president. I hope they continue to do it because as New York Post says he is alive. Ainsley like frankenstein hes alive. Lawrence look, i think the whole thing of joe biden unifying the country, well, thats dead. There was no unity line in that they attacked republicans. And, you know, brian, you have done a better job in making the case for ukraine than the president has. I dont know why he started a speech when you have americans struggling when it comes to the border, the economy. With ukraine first. Why not put that closer to the end or in the middle of the street. He seems to think thats the number one priority for measures. I just dont get it. Joe. Joey i have a question about that, too. Brian, i think you are a good one to jump in on this because it look like he started his speech really talking to what would be his base and he needs to know what his base is because he has gone so far left that that moderate, y uncle joe basis isnt there anymore. Ukraine, roe v. Wade, and january 6th. If you ask me, that really puts a Dividing Line on ukraine. It says hey, ukraine is in this basket with roe v. Wade, januard exclusively the left cares about it kind of did a disservice to it if you ask me. Brian yes. For the people that think ukraine needs the money on the right you put him in a terrible position. Number one if you are going to start with it and you know how into it i am and people at home dont want to hear me talking about ukraine this is the beginning of the slow takeover of Eastern Europe and The Next Step is going to be more and more serious and soon nato. Having said that his best argue. Is 80 of the money you are asking for Congress Stays in america. Go ahead and buy it from ourselves. You send it over. We replenish our stocks. If you were serious to defense you dont propose to congress that you give 1 increase in defense spending. That is not the message. I will also say this. You started with trump. You ended with trump. And you really want to make this if i close my eyes and say where is this speech coming from i would say its the floor of the dnc. Was he fired up . Yes. Was he yelling the whole time . Yes. Did i appreciate being screamed at for an hour and a half, no. You just nailed it. There is no more you could possibly say that he is a unifier. When he was at the border last week and he says im going to ask my predecessor to join me or i will join him. Pretty good line even if he doesnt mean it. Pretty good line. He left that. Ainsley when i turned on the tv last night and he goes up to the podium, he starts yelling and screaming and at times he was speeding through that speech where some of it you couldnt understand. And i was watching sean hannity last night and he called him jacked up joe. [laughter] then i noticed when Marjorie Taylor greene, when she was wearing the tshirt that said say her name. She was talking about laken riley. Poor little laken riley who was killed by an illegal immigrant, illegal immigrant charged with her killing. Then he stopped. He held up that it looked like a pen that you put on your shirt. A button. And he mispronounced her name and called her lincoln instead of laken. And then the gold star dad we just saw that moment when he stands up and he is screaming remembering the abby gate. Remember the u. S. Marines. His child was killed at the abby gate. It was 67 minutes of an address. And he didnt mention the border until 40 minutes in. And he really sets the bar low. Because when we turn on the tv last night we wanted to see if he could make it through. Lawrence this was the reaction, ainsley, when he finally brought up the border. In november, my team, again, serious negotiation with the Bipartisan Group of senators. The result was a bipartisan bill with the toughest set of Border Security forms we have ever seen. Oh, you tonight think so. [crowd boos] oh, you dont like that bill, huh . That conservatives got together and said was a good bill . Will ill be darn. The Border Patrol union has endorsed this bill. The federal Chamber Of Commerce yeah, yeah. You saying no, look at the facts. [laughter] [cheers] i know you know how to read. Im told my predecessor called Members Of Congress in the senate to demand they block the bill. He feels political wind he booted political win for me and political loser for him. Its not about him. Its not about me. Id be a winner not really. I [heckle ler] boos] Lincoln Lincoln riley, an innocent young woman who was killed by an illegal, thats right. But how many thousands of people being killed by illegal . To her parents i say my heart goes out to you having lost children myself. [shouting] i understand. Lawrence no parents that are out there that understand what it means to have your kid killed by an illegal. The second thing, i am so sick of him always comparing the death of his children any time theres an american that is trackly killed, he has to stop doing it. He doesnt know what it feels to have an illegal kill his child. And hes never met with any of the angel parents as well. So, i mean, this was a moment. This was a unity moment where he could say listen, it was a bipartisan bill. The Laken Riley Act that was just passed today, im going to sign it. I encourage my party to go along with it. He didnt do that either, brian. Brian theres two things. He decided crime is his weakest issue right before that would be the border. He has taken both. He is like yeah, im strong on the border, you guys dont want to do it. Crime, look at the stats. No one believes either one of them. He just hopes we have shortterm memory loss. Also, i forgot about this. Opening up he is fdr clearly talking to jon meacham and talking to historians. Wow, is he going to talk about china and russia . Thats interesting place to start. No, he is talking about russia and republicans. Wow your fight sat home. You are comparing Fascist Japan and fascist hitler germany to russia and republicans . Thats your from front battle or russia and donald Trump Supporters . Ainsley joey, it was interesting to watch Speaker Johnson behind him when he talked about guns. He said trump well, he said my predecessor. He never mentioned word trump. He just talked about his predecessor 13 times. He said trump was proud that he did nothing and Speaker Johnson rolled his eyes. He talked about the pandemic. My predecessor failed. Speaker johnson was just shaking his head. Lawrence more people died under covid under covid under biden than President Trump. Brian with a vaccine. Joey talk about guns and the border. Border something important to me. I have spoken to laken rileys family. I think she was done a disservice from heckling in the crowd and the way he responded her memory deserves more than that. Ainsley her parents were invited and couldnt go because they are still grieving. Brian they need time. I agree with you by the way Marjorie Taylor greene, i dont need her screaming. Its not it it adds to the chaos. Joey we will bring in alabama senator katie britt to bidens state of the Union Address. She didnt hold back. What you saw was the performance of a permanent politician who has actually been in office for longer than ive been alive. The American Dream has turned into a nightmare for so many families. Just think about laken riley. President biden finally said her name but he refused to take responsibility for his own actions. President biden proudly proclaims that bidenomics is working, goodness, yall, bless his heart. Brian that was a little of katy brits rebuttal last night. The alabama senator joins us right now for a fox friends exclusive. Senator, thanks so much for the quick turn around. I appreciate it. Great job in your delivery, the structure of the speech, especially because had you to adjust at the last minute to what the president would say along with the changing dynamics in the chamber. Your thoughts about his speech and the reflecting on yours . You know, its exactly what we thought it would be, and thats that he didnt talk about things that real americans wanted to hear, that hardworking people wanted answers to. Things that we talk about around this Kitchen Table every single day, he failed to mention or failed to give the time they deserved. I thought the anger and bitterness, what seemed to be some type of rage was unbecoming of the president of the United States. And t unfortunately he used none of our time to bring america together. He used divisive language and put every party in their corner. Lawrence i enjoyed you telling the man from texas bless your heart we all know what that means in the south. What do you think the party goes from here . Because so long they have painted donald trump as the ultimate divisive figure. Now you got the president United States did not extend an olive branch to your party or the republicans and the American People. What is the path forward for republicans . Well, obviously, President Biden is not interested in bringing people together, and hes also not interested in creating real solutions. I mean, what we saw last night, i think is just more and more of the same. And thats why we talked about things that matter. I mean, President Trump left us with the most secure border that we have ever had in our country. And then we walked through last night in my response the things that President Biden has done to actually undo that. You know, he sits back and says that none of this is his fault. Guys, it absolutely is. In the first 100 days he had 94 executive actions that he took to undo what President Trumps policies. He came in, he halted deportations. He said we will not be continuing the construction of the border wall. I mean, thing after thing, he said we are going to give amnesty to millions of Illegal Migrants that are here in this country. And what that does is that serves as a magnet to bring more and more people here. And the truth is the American People are paying the price. We are seeing it from every corner of this country. We are seeing it in the devastating tragedy that were talking about today with laken riley and the loss of her life. I cant imagine as a parent the things that they are going through. You think about the parents whose children have died. Fentanyl poisoning. Enough is enough. And the president needs to assume responsibility. He knows how to do this. President trump laid out a road map of how to secure our border and make our country safer, but he refuses to do so. Ainsley you talked a lot about the economy. I wish we had seen more focus on that last night. Talked about working at your dads Hardware Store and your moms dance studio. 60 of americans are living paycheck to paycheck. And he talked about snickers bars before he even talked about the border. He also was rebuking the Alabama Court over ivf and 9 high court, the Supreme Court over roe v. Wade. Listen to this. History is watching another assault on freedom. Joining tonight is Victoria Beazley A Social Worker from alabama. She scheduled treatments to have that second child the alabama Supreme Court shut down ibf treatments across the state. My predecessor came to office to determined to see roe v. Wade overturned. Hes the reason he it was overturned and he brags about it. Look at the chaos that has resulted. Ainsley whats your response . Well, first, lets talk about the economy real quick. Yesterday, when i had gone to the Grocery Store and actually picked up my children from school, i thought he doesnt get this. Hes not signatures in these carpool lines. Hes not checking out the Grocery Store seeing the prices go up. Hes not pumping gas and seeing that go through the roof. So he just doesnt understand what real families are dealing with and with regards to ivf the uncomfortable truth here is that the Alabama Legislature has acted. They have acted to protect ivf and absolutely very quickly. And governor ivey, i think that paper was not even on her desk three seconds before she signed it into law. That legislation was signed into law. So they acted because they know we know, President Trump knows that ivf is prolife and profamily. And they made sure to protect that for moms and dads all across our state. But, obviously, he didnt expect alabama to act so quickly and so firmly and likely they didnt have time to rearrange his speech because that may have messed him up just a little bit. Joey senator, before last night you were probably known for being exceptionally young for the body youre serving. In Mitch McconnellJust Announced he is going to step down as majority leader. And i know a lot of americans that look at like the Freedom Caucus in the house. Man, the senate always folds. Get in Bucket Battles and shutdowns. And republicans in the senate go astray. We see that two or three johns are going to put their name in the hat. More Heir Apparent than the changing of the guard. Where is the energy for something dinner . Wheres the energy in the house . Does that exist in the senate at all and will that have a say in this race . Oh it absolutely exists in the senate. Im really proud of my freshman class.
