>> lawrence: exactly. >> brian: meanwhile, second hour of "fox & friends" starts right now. ♪ ♪ if you want to get to sipping out like that ♪ burn the way you like ♪ vibe like that ♪ waiting from a town like that ♪ so let me show you how to get down like that. >> ainsley: listen to that voice you probably recognize it it's gary levox for our all-american summer concert series. he used to be part of rascal flatts the three guys grew up together basically and toured our country, toured the world. got married and had some kids and they broke up because i think it wasn't conducive to their schedules to travel so much. and then gary said i'm going to go out on my own. ran the distance. sang the distance while i wait working on sunday. we're going to talk to him coming up. >> brian: one of the most distinctive voices outside of mollie hatchet. if you listen to molly hatchet you know.

>> ainsley: or janice joplin. >> lawrence: he did a lot of the background music for kid's movies like cars, there was a movie that came out. >> ainsley: i love that movie. >> lawrence: there has been a lot of weather here in new york, i keep thinking i was in florida yesterday there has been at love weather so we haven't been able to greet him and talk to him because ever the rain. hopefully some time this hour or next hour we get to see him. >> brian: yeah, the thing is ainsley didn't mind going out contractually you don't go out in bad weather but we all have to stay in. >> lawrence: i'm sure the super star i knew it was coming and i wasn't prepared for it either. the super star of the show. >> ainsley: now it's your turn. >> brian: i just was pointing out something in your contract. >> ainsley: right. everyone here knows you are a diva, my friend. [laughter] >> ainsley: just kidding. >> lawrence: now it's going to be all over twitter. >> ainsley: you will go anywhere. >> brian: ainsley attacks lawrence.

>> ainsley: bags packed by the door always on the road. first class though, right? [laughter] >> ainsley: i was kidding. >> brian: exactly. >> ainsley: is that in your contract? i have to comply first class. >> brian: i'm going to need my own plane, eventually. >> ainsley: the right. let's talk about some news. what is happening, brian? >> brian: r.f.k. jr. were going to talk about censorship and the republicans wanted to cover. this they said let's start with robert f. kennedy. as you know, he came out with some statements about vaccines that were contro controversial e the pandemic and he was sceched. one of the first people to get shadow banned was r.f.k. when joe biden became president of the united states. maybe that prompted him running for office. i was not expecting these type of democratic attacks against this democratic family, especially r.f.k. to this level. he was not able to finish almost any sentence outside his open remarks. in fact, they were pushing to push this behind closed doors because they think his comments

are dangerous. >> >> ainsley: isn't that what they do? any time anyone questions something they voted for, something they believe. in. >> brian: never used to be like this, though. >> ainsley: exactly. everyone can have an open debate. you can have your own opinion. the first amendment was written so we could have tough speech. it's not for the easy sentences. it's not for the easy remarks. it's for the tough conversations. and we should be able to have be able to say what we want to say without being censored. they don't like what he says about the vaccine. he says you are defaming me. i never said i was anti-vax. i'm saying these are some of the facts. if you look at some of the studies. he was on with joe rogan and he went through some of the studies. how do you argue with this study? this study says it does x, y, and z to your body. this study says this. this study says this. he points out the facts. he is not anti-vax. >> brian: anti-racist. >> lawrence: he could barely get a word in. >> ainsley: running against biden though, too. they don't like that. >> lawrence: exactly. he was finally able to talk. this is what r.f.k. jr. had to

say. watch. >> every statement that you just made about me is inaccurate. at one point you say i'm anti-vax and that's bad thing. the other moment you point out that all my children are vaxxed. i took flu vaccines for 20 years straight. i have never been anti-vax. these are defamations and malignancies that are used to censor me to prevent people from listenerring to the actual things that i'm saying. i have spent my life in this party. i have devoted my life to the values of this party. 102 people signed. this this itself is evidence of the problem that this hearing was convened to address this is an attempt to censor, a censorship hearing. the charge -- and, by the way, censorship is anti-they antither

party. it was to my father, to harry truman, thomas jefferson. >> lawrence: goes to your point, ainsley, we can't forget he is going against joe biden. i think that's where all the attacks are coming from. he said wait a minute, you guys said i was anti-vax? i have gotten vaccines before. this is all public information. i vaccinated my children. i just have certain concerns about the vaccines and some of the funding of the vaccines as well. i just want to have a spirited debate. i'm not saying that you are totally wrong or i'm totally right. can we just talk about anything? no. we think this is disinformation and we shouldn't televise this debate. >> brian: lawrence, on top of that, his book became a best seller the real anthony fauci. the first time i heard about it was joe rogan said i read it over the weekend. if this is not true, is he going to be sued by the most powerful people in the country and anthony fauci, nobody, not a word. >> they don't want this stuff challenged. >> lawrence: it's insane. >> brian: hillary vaughn went out on capitol hill to talk to

some of the lawmakers. after it was petty clear that they were not going to let him finish his thought. going to accuse him of the worst things possible. and try to destroy his reputation. listen. >> i don't think want to bring this before the congress but this is par for the course for this majorities. >> we were trying to make sure he didn't cause more harm with his outrageous testimony. >> g i don't think he is being censored he can say whatever he wants and wherever he wants. but he doesn't get a right to testify before a committee of congress. >> oh, that's not censorship. censorship would not be allowing someone to speak. can he speak. that doesn't give him necessarily the ability to have to do it in the halls of congress. >> lawrence: these people are insane. great reporting from hillary vaughn willing to stick a mic in these elected official's faces and get them to respond. as as you can see, when you gete mic in their face they say things that are totally ridiculous. you don't have a right to speak

as a witness before congress? i mean, both sides get to present their witnesses throw had all the reigns to invite whoever they wanted to invite and speak. truly insane some of the stuff that's happening on capitol hill. >> ainsley: not just vaccines. the fbi, accord tog the reports this morning, knew that the laptop belonged to hunter. and then twitter censors that story even though the fbi told twitter that it was legit. and so, it's -- we're seeing this in so many different stories. if they don't like the narrative, the democrats don't like what's being told, which is often the truth, then they will censor you. they will not allow you to get your message across. it's fascinating. look, i like vaccines for certain things. my daughter is vaccinated. i decided to space out the shots. a lot of doctors wouldn't allow my daughter to be in their practice because they said we don't agree with that we don't want to space them out. that was my decision as a

parent. i wanted to do it. it was interesting when i read different studies when i was trying to make the decisions about my own child what i was going to do and i wanted to hear all the facts from every single side so that i could make my decision. >> brian: right. >> ainsley: they don't want us to hear all sides. >> lawrence: brian, i don't know if you agree with me on this. it seems like the democrats have changed their position though. they were once the party that questioned government agencies. fbi, cia. they were once the party that questioned pharmaceutical companies and all that all of a sudden, now that republicans are questioning certain things. they feel like there has to be this rereflexive mentality to be against it. >> i agree with you but, for example if donald trump would have won re-election they would have been vehemently appear at this point vax or any person that had blood-thickening or anything with their heart it would have been donald trump rushed the will vaccine. now that it was delivered joe

biden takes credit for it and demanded everyone take it. when they didn't they were vilified and kept out of work and school and fired from position. >> ainsley: except if you take it you won't get fauci. and fauci got it after he got beings have ad. >> brian: wrong, wrong all over again. you ask casey desantis about the difference how florida was doing and how florida was doing. >> ainsley: listen to this. >> during covid. this was a time when the elites were telling people what rights they could have at what time they deemed it was appropriate and i think that what is a fundamental crossroads for this country because we are founded on certain principles our rights come from our creator. government is put in place to protect the rights that we innately had. i watched as he held the line in defense of people's rights, liberties, and livelihoods. >> lawrence: wow. >> brian: he was strong. jared kushner said every morning he would be on the phone with him 6:00, 7:00 in the morning

give me your stats. what's going on he would be talking to the president on his own. not saying i called the president today. but before he came up with this policy saying get back to work, get back to schooling. i'm going to do it. i'm going to worry about the seniors first. vaccinate others he accused it of giving it to their reporters. "60 minutes" egg on their face with that. that's why when president trump attacks him on the pandemic it doesn't make any sense i also think when governor attacks the president on the border i don't think that makes any sense. >> ainsley: when i was doing my research for that interview, one of his aides, someone who worked for him. i wish i had the packet in front of me i will paraphrase it he would say i would hand him notes at night what he we were talking about the next day what was in the news. he would say i need 300 more pages on this, this, and. this his aide would give him the 300 pages that night. he would have it all highlighted and know it all the next day. >> brian: right. >> lawrence: did you a great job. i saw yesterday's version as

well. casey desantis is his biggest asset on the campaign field. >> ainsley: i agree. sthey are a good team. >> lawrence: they should put her on the road more. i listen to her a lot when she is out there. i think she connects with people in a better more authentic way. >> ainsley: she is good in front of the camera she was a news anchor she is comfortable in front of it. i think they are just a good team. people have said she is his biggest asset. she is the secret sauce. i think obviously he is a great nominee in his own right because of his education and i has worked so hard for this. but she definitely he benefits by having her on his side. they are a good team. >> brian: investigation to determine what happened monday when a delta flight left passengers stranded in extreme heat in las vegas. >> ainsley: overheated travelers were left in a stifling cabin for hours only to eventually have the flight canceled. >> lawrence: unbelievable. lucas tomlinson joins us. love cass, have you been able to figure out what happened there?

>> well, fortunately for us, one you have our colleagues did, lawrence. the department of transportation now launching an investigation into delta airlines after passengers in las vegas were stranded on the tarmac for hours in extreme heat. that atlanta-bound flight delayed at harry reid airport monday as temperatures outside soared to over 110 degrees. our colleague fox news field producer christa garvin was on that flight and this is what she saw. >> you are telling us that we have multiple mid call emergencies on the flight. the plane still cannot get any cooler than it is. it is still hot. we're sitting on the plane you are telling us you have a choice to either sit here and get possibly sick and watch all this go down or not get to your destination for days. >> several people were taken off that flight as you see there for medical treatment. some transported to local hospitals. the flight was eventually canceled after three long hours

in the heat on the ramp. the department of transportation say tarmac delays should never go on that long. particularly with the temperature so high. transportation secretary pete buttigieg even saying he was, quote, outraged by the story. >> now delta says they have apologized and offered financial compensation to the passengers. might take more than just drink tickets though, guys. >> brian: get them off the plane. there is no air conditioning and we are probably not going to get it off at the very least avoid lawsuits. lucas, thank you. >> ainsley: thanks, lucas. that's happened to me before when i was on and hayden was a baby baby and we were taking her clothes off because she was so red. i was panicking. very scary. >> lawrence: they have to get the airlines under control the delays. this story right here. i was just on the tarmac for two and a half hours. they kept saying weather delays. no site of weather. >> brian: don't lie to us. >> lawrence: ticks me off too,

brian. >> brian: carley shrimp can you say you have the other news? >> carley: top pharmacist predicting long time anesthesia and other injectable drugs after 150 minor tornado levels a fisa plant in wiping out pallets of medicine the plant produces anesthesia and other drugs as well as nearly 25 sterile injectable medications used in hospitals jason aldean's concert in ohio canceled because of a powerful storm. the rain date is now set for september 17th. the postponement comes right in the middle of the firestorm over his new anti crime song called try that in a small town racist undertones. aldean denies that saying it's actually about the importance of community those are your headlines guys, over to you. >> ainsley: thank you, carley. >> carley: you are welcome. >> brian: what is everybody saying about the aldean

controversy? >> ainsley: joey jones is having breakfast with friends live at gorge's restaurant in dayton, ohio. >> >> joey: the aldean concert last night was a big deal. a lot of people ready to see him in concert. i think it was pretty much sold out. tom is a big music fan. tom, what do you think about the controversy over this song? >> well, it's typical democratic outrage based on a false narrative. they make it up and then they push it out there. and if you tell aening lie long enough, people start to believe it. >> joey: oh man if you tell a lie long enough people will believe it. you are retired from the air force. thank you for your service. listen, when we talk about this song, it says dry that in a small town, i don't know if any of you guys are from a small town but what do you think about when you hear that song? >> it's a beautiful song tells the tris industry what has taken place. the wokeness that's kind of taken over. very sad. but, we have supported jason aldean. he has jumped up to number one on his song.

thanks to everyone who has downloaded the song. definitely want more people doing it and thank you to luke bryan for supporting him as well and pull him stuff off cmt. >> joey: i don't know if you all know this but jason aldean and luke bryan are some georgia boys. i see the ohio state stuff around here. i think y'all like us pretty well. we have a vietnam veteran right now real quick. thank you for your supervisors and welcome home. but to the crowd, what do you all think about what we call woke culture? >> people need to wake up. >> wake up, america. we need to wake up. we just have to open our eyes and see what going on. >> united states marine right here. thank you for your service. we're going to go ahead and wrap this up. i think we might play some jason aldean in main and have some breakfast and eggs. what do you all think about it? [cheers and applause] >> joey: all right, guys. back over to you. >> ainsley: thanks, joey, great job. >> lawrence: top democrats targeted major hack attack by china.

now. general, pretty significant who they are hacking and they keep doing it even after four high level visits from the u.s. delegation. >> yeah. there's no doubt about this. so our viewers understand, they hacked in their unclassified nets. and these are two principles here. assistant secretary and an ambassador to china. very experienced officials. i'm less concerned about their discipline and revealing significant information unclassified nets as to the thousands that hacking into their emails has led to. it just cass gadz down. even unclassified nets you can get some pretty significant information about what people are thinking what they are thinking about different issues and processes we are using. there is information can you stitch together even though it's on unclassified net. this is just a part ever the

most comprehensive penetration of american society in our history that the chinese are doing and cyber is the main stay of that penetration. we have never ever seen anything like it. there are hundreds of thousands of chinese government people and hackers that are committed to this every single day. >> brian: just amazing. we are trying to reapproach them and they send a balloon, things fall apart. then we beg for a meeting. the secretary of state shows up. nothing tangible gained. secretary of treasury shows up no tangible gains. john kerry an epic fail got nothing out of his green lark when you go over there. we come off looking extremely weak in my humble opinion. the other major story is russia and china are going over naval exercises in conjunction with each other. what's your take away from that? >> well, no surprise here. i mean, this is a strategic partnership.

obviously there is a political relationship. we shouldn't be surprised by the military relationship. even though there has always been tension between these two countries and obviously a common border at times. but the real issue is they have come together because of mutual benefit. their own national interest opposing the united states and the democratic countries. they are glued at the hip on this. even though there is probably some undercurrent disagreements from xi thinking about putin and the strategic mistakes he's made. the mutiny that was committed against them him. he really understands that there are issues there but he is not going to back away from them. >> brian: real quick, what about the thought that these elites, according to our cia director, the elites in russia are doubting putin's judgment? your thoughts on that? what's real about this? >> well, i think it is real. we have seen 12 to 15 general

officers detained. some have not been seen like sarah vinken who is very popular inside of russia. others have been interrogated. there has been officers relieved inside ukraine. popov who is the 58th combined arms commander has a significant job he was relieved because of some disagreements that he has had. and those close to putin looking at the panorama of decision-making, the mutiny committed against him, tolerating prigozhin's comments for 18 months almost, challenging russia's decisions to even go into ukraine, i mean, and then tolerating a mutiny that got, you know, within 125 miles of moscow, even though all of that went away within 24 hours, it had to jolt the leaders around him to a certain degree. it doesn't mean he is going away tomorrow but is he certainly not as strong as he was, you know, six months ago, a year ago. >> brian: fascinating time. general jack keane, thanks so

much. have great weekend. >> yeah, you too, guys have a great weekend, thank you. >> brian: meanwhile, i don't want you to miss saturday night's show at 8:00 on one nation, amongst our guests, aaron and ben napier, the co-hosts of the hometown on hgtv have taken away the cell phones, all social media from their kids and so has everyone in their town. how is that working out. paul degelder on the series of shark attacks is anyone safe. and carley shimkus news duel. more on that over the weekend. now follow me we are about to go about a month away from the g.o.p. debate. so many great candidates. you have 33 days, 13 hours, 32 minutes and 45 seconds. negotiation been reached with ainsley earhardt to come down here and we are going to go over the field. how and where people are spending their money. what states they are focused on and who has got momentum.

american public. >> ainsley: donald trump is the yellow line this is january. started at 47%. look at him now, 53.1%. this is real clear politics this is a average of all the 308s. >> brian: special thanks to the indictments, too, is he doneating the news cycle. >> ainsley: this is actually hang of helping him. desantis what do you say about this. >> he waited a while to get in. $20 million in attack ads super pacs. he was trying to be governor. see if he can bounce back and start resonating. ainsley your proof is he doing much now with media. >> ainsley: going to be talking about national media focusing more on this than some of these visits he says he is going to all 99 counties in iowa. he has dropped a little bit. then he introduced us to his wife the other day. we had great interview with her on wednesday. aired it yesterday. and i have heard nothing but positives about it. how much they like her. ains. >> brian: and they are talking more about his military background. >> ainsley: vivek is green, right? he was at zero and moved up. >> brian: the other story is mike pence, he can't find a

lane. people love him with trump but not separate from trump unless he can change his message i think is he going to be in trouble because is he not earning much money either. >> ainsley: speaking of money, fundraising. >> brian: look at where they're at. donald trump has a lot of big donors as does ron desantis. he also has small donors, too. he has got to feel good about that total. >> ainsley: 35 million for trump this is only in the second quarter. 20 million for desantis. >> haley a little more than 7. scott about 7 million. and pence 1.2 million. >> brian: tim scott says look out i'm going to start spending this money. a lot of money came into senate campaign knowing he would more than likely run for president. keep your eye on senator tim scott looking for hot candidates. finally look at what it all means for on track to qualify for the debate. here's who is going to be on the stage for sure. >> ainsley: yeah you have these, fix candidates. you have trump, desantis, haley ram christie. how do you qualify? you have to have 1% in three national polls, the three big

polls or 1% in two national polls and 1% from an early state poll from two carved out states. and you have to have 40,000 donors. >> brian: there is still some hope to grow that stage. the governor of north dakota says i'm going to give you a gift card if you actually give me a dollar. >> ainsley: is that even legal? >> brian: i'm not sure. >> ainsley: gift card for amazon. >> brian: whatever he has got the money he is really rich. mayor suarez says you will be in the lottery to get tickets to messi's game in intramiami if you give to his campaign. you also discussed desantis' tactic debate and more. >> ainsley: we asked him does he think donald trump should be on the debate stage? listen. >> i think we'll do well either way but i mean i think he owes it to people to participate. nobody is entitled to be nominated. you have got to earn it. you have got to earn everything in this world so i think you show up. i think you participate. i think you make your case and i think you answer questions. >> ainsley: don't take your

voters for granted is basically what he is saying. they also had to sign a pledge saying whoever is the nominee for the republican party, they will all get behind that person. >> brian: right. look at the torso not the full torsos the shoulder shots of both bret and march that. these are two fine looking individuals. they are looming as moderators. the respect of the masses. >> ainsley: looming. >> brian: they will actually let the candidates be the stars. >> ainsley: put that on your calendar. don't make dinner plans. stay home with your family and watch the debate august 23rd 9:00 p.m. milwaukee. >> brian: by the way, you are not done walking guess who is here? >> ainsley: who is here? gary? get over here. >> brian: all types of weather conditions. >> ainsley: how are you. thanks for coming on. >> brian: great to see you. >> heard something about torsos. >> ainsley: you have a great torso. >> brian: america loves your torso. >> ainsley: write a song about torsos. >> brian: first, going to ask him what it's like leaving the band and going solo.
