alexa. what is the difference? >> there is siri and alexi, they sound like tissuing is 75 degrees outside. this is like ainsley, it is 75 degrees outside like you liked it yesterday. creepy. i will thank lawrence, steve or lawrence had the story about ios 17, number one trending story last week. maybe it was both of you. >> lawrence: it was steve. we love steve. >> steve. >> ainsley: thank you, kurt. >> lawrence: appreciate it. >> ainsley: everyone, the third hour of "fox and friends" starts now. >> oh, yeah! ♪ ♪

>> brian: that is a river, a lot of times we use rivers for trade purposes. we put together different barges and load with wood and logs and bring to other states. >> steve: when was last time we did that? >> brian: we should, go back to do that again. keep people off the road. >> ainsley: river leads to what? larger body of water.

>> brian: i do not know where that was going? is that something they did in south carolina. >> ainsley: something my teacher said at one time or another. >> steve: river runs through it. >> ainsley: i love that movie. >> steve: today is national pancake day. >> lawrence: those look good. >> steve: bubby's. they have a great cookbook, bubby's homemade pies. >> lawrence: it is nice and fluffy, they put sour cream. >> ainsley: sour cream. >> steve: that sounds fantastic. >> brian: river runs through it, brad pittt and robert redford. still good-looking at that point and brad pittvery attractive man. >> ainsley: robert redford was in that? >> brian: seems like it would be a boring movie, everyone saw it, but me. >> steve: i have an idea, from the body of river and river runs

through it, yesterday everyday there is something crazy that the president says, a biden blunder we highlight. today we have so many. yesterday it wasn't a river, it was the pacific ocean and in particular he was, the president of the united states in front the pacific island infrastructure initiative group, piii. break happy with papa new guinea, by the way. >> steve: piii, is that hard to say? is it for the president? let's see. >> president biden: we call it the pi -- anyway, doesn't matter what we call it, that is what it is. i was going to get back to acronym. not doing that. >> brian: that went well, what a tribute. >> steve: had to be piii.

over the weekend, had a problem with more consecutive letters that involve somebody very famous, like a brand name. watch this. >> president biden: two of the great artists of our team representing groundbreaking legacy of hip hop, ll j cool j, by the way, that boy's got -- man's got biceps bigger than my thighs. >> lawrence: you got to love him. >> brian: these aren't, it is everyday he speaks there's a problem. everyday. >> ainsley: he butchered ll cool j's name and charlamagne the god, was on the breakfast club with his co-host and said to your point, you were bothered with the word boy. >> lawrence: i don't like it, from texas and the south, you don't call a black man a boy, you don't do that. >> ainsley: charlamagne agrees and here is explanation for it.

>> monday september 25th, donkey award going to president of the united states joe biden. he referred to ll cool j as a boy. he corrected himself on the spot. he is 137 years old, he understands, boy is a white racist word when used in a certain context. doesn't matter how many black people you have in your conversation, if not authentic to him, it will not come off authentic to anyone. you are trying to make this 197-year-old man sound cool, nothing uncool than someone trying hard tabe cool. don't try too hard to be cool, it always shows and that is uncool. yes, that is president joe biden. >> ainsley: maybe that is why that progressive group will spend $70 million to make

>> lawrence: his -- president had to say about the shutdown yesterday. let's watch. >> president biden: black community will -- seven million moms and children, disproportionate effect. >> lawrence: this is a rallying call, they can't cut from anything else, you have to use that one sound byte to get to black america. you are in front of the congressional black caucus and you can't remember historic rapper ll cool j. this is part of the problem they face in the next election.

they have rally black women, black men do not like what is being taught in school, do not like the abortion system and the two-tiered justice system and the economy is a wreck right now. >> brian: i want to talk about americans. but when you look, if you want to segment it out political experts to find where to focus and what to focus on, you have a president that gets a pass on all this. that president looked at charlamagne the god and said if you are not voting for me, you aren't black. 63% approval, lost 18 points, got high, 63% in the black community. without getting 80% that is looked at as loss. what are they doing to win it? i love the vivek ramaswamy, one

and two, south side of chicago and went in and listened. first listen and find out what the problem is and see how you can address it. >> ainsley: when he talked about ll cool j, he introduce him like he's been listening to his music forever. i love him, he's an icon. >> lawrence: like hillary clinton and the hot sauce. >> ainsley: i had a problem with that, i don't think he's racist, i don't think he meant the boy comment as racist. it is ll cool j. >> steve: i mean, piii, that is not that hard really, neither is ll cool j. >> ainsley: it was inauthentic saying he is a ledgend and didnt know who he was, that is me, maybe i'm wrong.

>> brian: he was in front of the hispanic caucus and called them the plaque caucus. >> lawrence: to say heir cas about different groups of people. i want us to move forward as americans, as well. in politics, everything is members, blacks, hispanics, elderly, everybody has a special interest and everything is unique to different communities. if you are democratic party and champion groups of people know them and not offend them. >> brian: overpopulatedarching opinion, this is the problem. people say barack obama and george bush's numbers were down and they were able to come back. they were in the prime of their lives, nobody doubted bush could go outwork you in 50 states and so would barack obama. strategy was to rip mitt romney

apart. in this case, it has to be all surrogates, joe biden can't do it. i don't know if the american people want to see surrogates over the person they are voting for. >> steve: all of these gaffes add to the perception he can't hack it, that he is too old and the white house is trying to protect him and he can't read a teleprompter. >> ainsley: thank you, lawrence, a poll says biden losing to trump and nikki haley and tim scott. cnn says nikki haley is only republican with decisive lead over biden, 49% and biden gets 43%. >> brian: the nbc poll. >> ainsley: they say she had excellent performance at the debate. another debate tomorrow night. she is putting in time going to fairs and really working. >> steve: "u.s.a. today," for the most part leans to the left.

"u.s.a. today" today is praising nikki haley, talk about her last debate and they said if the republicans would be smart enough to choose someone with broad appeal like haley to run against biden, they could win back the white house. "u.s.a. today" thinks nikki haley could be it. >> brian: for that, i thank you, honesty thing. you could have taken six and resold them. >> steve: you are doing the history channel thing. >> ainsley: thank you for not stealing. >> lawrence: leave it to brian kilmeade. president heading to michigan to join striking autoworkers on the picket line. >> brian: donald trump picked wednesday, he picked tuesday after the white house said the president would not get involved in the talks with the big three

automakers. >> pete: the president is making it sound like he is behind workers and demands, including shorter work week and 40% raises. >> president biden: uaw gave back a big amount from pensions on and saved the automobile industry, i support uaw. >> pete: sounds like he is fully backing union over auto companies but his staff insists that is not quite right. >> seems like by going to the picket line, he is not an arbiter, he is choosing a side. >> we have said over and over again, this is a president that stands with union workers. >> that is why it is confusing saying we will not talk about the terms. >> it is not confusing, he's

saying and we're clear, he stands with union workers. >> pete: white house stance is vague. today's visit was not a reaction to donald trump announcement he will visit the picket line tomorrow. if this strike drags on, unclear if the president will help both sides negotiate, it sounds like he is biassed to the workers against the company. labor strike is a biden issue. problems at the border persist, we are not expecting a border visit, even though two border states will be visited, california and arizona. back to you. >> lawrence: peter, quickly, there were people arrest at the white house last night, tell us what happened. >> peter: pretty close to the white house. you cross the street at 15th and between 14th and 15th on g

street, next to famous restaurants over there, officers on patrol walked by a car and noticed ammunition in plainview and waited for the folks to come back and arrested them. we don't know anything about the people, there was no interruption to protection at the white house while this was happening. >> steve: i saw on axios the campaign is doing their best to make sure the president does not trip. >> peter: what are they doing? that item says after he fell on sand bag this summer, they have been worried he will fall again closer to the election. he is working with physical therapist on balance exercise and he is taking shorter stairs up air force one. he's been wearing dress sneakers more instead of dress shoes to prevent slipping.

i didn't know that was a thing, i wear those everyday, i think they are more comfortable. >> steve: you want to be like joe. what brand is that, peter? >> lawrence: cole hahn. >> peter: on sale at nordstrom rack. >> ainsley: i'm buying some for my dad and the guy said to do the cole hahn. >> peter: everybody wearing them age 36 to 80. >> brian: thank pete hegseth, he was first one i saw buy that shoe. with white soles and he puts gel in his hair. >> steve: peter, you don't put gel, you use clay, right? >> peter: clay and a hair dryer. >> lawrence: that is why it doesn't move. >> ainsley: you are a statue, we

will not remove you. >> brian: never do that yourself, do you live near a salon? >> peter: no, i live in a house where i'm trying not to wake up a seven-month-old baby with a hair dryer. >> brian: do you have a silencer? >> peter: yeah, google hair dryer silencer. >> steve: do like your mother does, drive to work with your window open to dry your hair. >> peter: in d.c., i try to roll the window up. >> steve: we've learned a lot. >> brian: did you see special forces last night? trying to balance between two mountains, unbelievable. >> ainsley: some things i feel like i could do, but the balancing thing, no way. no way. >> lawrence: increase my chances

with that. >> ainsley: they're strapped in, if they fall, they are caught, just the idea. could you do it? >> brian: last night i said, i don't know if i can do it, you won't die, it would ruin the series. >> steve: all right, so -- >> ainsley: what is wrong with you? >> steve: in front of us, we have cell phones. "washington post" has interesting item talking about cell phone etiquette, there are certain things, remember when phones had cords in the old days. >> ainsley: they were green and yellow. >> brian: life was so simple. >> ainsley: the phone matched the kitchen, and washing machine, too. >> steve: according to "washington post," what you should never do, don't ever leave a voicemail. if you are going to call, text before you call. here is the thing, it is a

phone, you don't need to answer the phone, they say. right? >> brian: they don't want us to talk to each other? >> ainsley: texting before you call allows you not to be stressed thachl is weird, just call. >> lawrence: i like text before you call. >> brian: is this a good time? >> lawrence: no, if it can be handled through text, don't call. if it is sensitive, then call. >> brian: as a nation, we understand what to do when the tone goes off. we don't need explanation how to work voicemail. at sound of the tone -- >> ainsley: yeah, don't leave a long message. >> brian: we don't need the brief thing. >> lawrence: true. >> steve: if you're looking at your phone and ringer off, and you see lawrence jones is calling me, you do deliberation,

do i want to talk to him? >> ainsley: i don't want to talk to >> lawrence: i will send that to -- and you look up and see him. i saw you send me to voicemail. >> brian: what do you think about the new cell phone etiquette rules and your e-mails are pouring in. here is an example. i -- gary says i do not answer my phone because of large quantity of spam and robo-calls, leave a message and i'll call you back. don't tell me that. >> steve: flies in the face of the first one, don't use a voice voicemail. eddy says my voicemail has been full. the person i call knows i call, if they want to know why i called, call me back. >> lawrence: no, if you don't leave a voicemail, i will not call you back. >> ainsley: what if she's really

hot? >> lawrence: then she has immunity. >> brian: people that are hot, don't say they are hot on voicemail. hi, i'm cindy, i'm really hot. >> ainsley: there are parts of this amazing country where cell phone service is awful, sending text is not an option. some still have lan lines, the elite have no idea how the country living. >> brian: thanks chris chillo. >> steve: we had a party line, a bunch of people live in an area like one square mile and every time somebody called like the 20 people in our neighborhood, everybody's phone rang. >> ainsley: so weird. >> steve: you had a certain ring, only pick it up if -- >> ainsley: what if you picked

it up and phone was for lawrence, did you listen to the phone conversation? >> steve: people listen all the time. >> brian: who pay the bill? >> steve: just you. my mother used to say, private call, please hangup. >> ainsley: skype. >> ainsley: emotions are for voice and -- is for text. >> brian: what about when you read a voicemail. >> ainsley: what i love voicemail, i have my mom's voice and i played at her funeral. we didn't hear her speak for five years. to hear her sweet southern voice is fun. >> steve: i have my dad's voice on a phone machine. my dad and dick clark. i can't get rid of that. >> ainsley: why did dick clark

call your house? >> steve: i used on to do the new year's eve thing. >> ainsley: i have a cassette of my grandfather. >> steve: you don't have a player. >> ainsley: i will buy one on amazon. >> brian: i taped police concert from shea stadium and i have that tape. >> ainsley: tape of the concert from faraway. >> brian: on wbab, they replayed it. governor kathy hochul calling in more national guard. >> ainsley: congressman jim jordan will join us next, he calls for bob menendez to resign.

i'm patriotic kenny. and, hi, i'm amanda. my scooter broke down. i went into a depression. (how do you feel about that?) pretty sad. i posted it to show that kenny's not always happy. within 24 hours people had donated over $5,000.

no, you're kidding. (we set up the patriotic kenny foundation) (to give mobility scooters to veterans.) it has changed my life tremendously. (none of this would've happened without tiktok.) i look back with great satisfaction on my 32 years in active duty. i understand the veteran mentality. these are people who have served. they've been in leadership positions. they're willing to put their life on the line if necessary. and they come to us and they say, i need some financial help at this point in time. they're not looking for a handout. they're looking for a little hand up. my team at newday usa is going to do everything we possibly can to make sure that veteran gets that loan.

>> carley: fox news alert, hunter biden suing former trump attorney rudy giuliani claiming he violated data access laws related to his lippold and e-mails reveal discussions. talks that date back a decade revolved around fundraising and personal matters, this is just days after newsom justified the

first son's business dealings. brian. >> brian: coming up this weekend, the government could shut down. committee chair jim jordan joins us now. he thought we had a deal to keep the country going, it did not happen, five republicans say no, no continuing resolution. american people want to know if you will be able to fund the government, the house get the funds together? >> i sure hope so. include in that, something that will help the country, republicans, democrats, all americans, that is stop nonsense on the border and put in language that says we will not process or release new migrants into the country. simply say stop and go back to policies that worked under president trump. i've been pushing for that in that stopgap measure. hope we can get to that this week and pass that.

>> brian: am i right, you have to get some out of the house and the senate is ready and find the continuing resolution or deal. what did you put together? >> they might punt, that issure po. chuck schumer will have to tell mayor eric adams, talking about how bad the problem is in his story and across the country. talk to the mayor of their hometown and say we are not for common sense policy. put that there, put the question to the senate leader. it is more important to shut down the government? understand each year has gotten worse. each year we set a record number of illegal migrants coming into the country. you have democratic mayors saying time out, we can't take it anymore and chuck schumer will not do that. it is common sense and how you

win. go without one good issue, put on this bill and put in front of the senate and see what they do. >> brian: hakeem jeffries never talks about it. to chicago today and this morning, more important bring in gianno caldwell. who will testify in the field hearing in chicago on the growing crime crisis. gianno, remind everyone why this matters to you so much. >> on june 24th of last year, my life changed forever when my baby brother christian, innocent brother, was murdered on the south side of chicago. this has been a mission for me, not just because of my brother, because of the victims of crime in chicago. i've been in this fight since i was 14 years old. i have pictures when i was 14 years old, walking with the

lieutenant police. thank you for bringing congress, issues at state and loc alt level refuse to address. they are making it worse with bills like the safety act. i'm disappointed with democrats who refuse to show up today. chicago is 2.7 million people, 29% of the population is black. last year 80% of murder victims were black. wouldn't you think people screaming black lives matter would be here to show it. where is jerry nadler? they had plans on violent crime. he refuses to show up and look these people in the eyes and danny davis said what they are doing here is a stunt.

>> brian: really? >> was that seven year old murdered in the backseat of a car a stunt? how about the five month old who was murdered on the same day as my brother? a stunt? three days ago, 86- year-old man carjacked and murdered. is that a stunt? we will have a real conversation and get something drafted to help the people of chicago and across the nation. we are a nation suffering from violent crime and democrats are not taking it seriously. >> brian: chairman, what do you expect to emerge out of this? democrats didn't show up, now a zero cash bail state you are in. >> giannono is right, bad guys do bad things. cook county district attorney kim fox and lori lightfoot laws

she passed. getting rid of cash bail, you had 76 cops shot last year and 30 people shot over this past weekend. all we can do is draw attention to it, see if there is something at the federal level when it comes to funding. drawing attention to this problem and important. when you have witnesses like gianno who can tell the impact of his family, that is power. . we appreciate him telling his story, along with two police officers. one was shot himself, he will be a witness today. >> brian: forget emotion and look at realities, democrats, not to their benefit to ignore the border and crime. that is what this looks like. we'll cover your hearing. thank you.

over to carley. >> carley: john bell edwards calling on president joe biden to declare federal emergency as salt water intrusion in the mississippi river threatening drinking water in parts of the state. army corps of engineering is barging in 36 million gallons of water daily. listen to this. quite the prank here. a 21-year-old ai start-up founder and 65 of his friends staging an elaborate prank in new york city this weekend. they tricked foodie into thinking they received invitation at a 100-year-old chop house. 140 diners showed up. there was a bogus wedding proposal and servers carrying jugs of milk. not everyone was amused with one

couple threatening legal action. april fools. >> steve: early, indeed. hilarious. thank you. meanwhile, more than three million american children and their parents risk losing crucial child care services when federal funding expires this saturday and cost of child care crippling american families, it costs more than college tuition in half the states in the country. fox business host larry kudlow served under president trump, good morning. >> hi, steve, how are you? >> steve: doing okay, a bunch offish parents are sweating, we are heading toward child care cliff. they hope congress will come up with money to pay for child care. >> listen, i hope they can get a funding bill together in the next couple days. i don't think government

shutdown is a good idea right now. there was a debt deal passed a couple months ago, that deal cut 2 trillion from the budget, that should be honored and i think if you get a funding bill, contcontinue resolution, there will be enough time to do all 12 of the appropriations bills and that would cover spending priorities. that would be my first choice. >> steve: absolutely, everybody would like to see the government not shut down. tomorrow nights big debate on fox business, you will be do the pre-debate preshow, we are looking forward to that on fox business. over the last week, polls have come out, all bad for the incumbent president. one poll, i believe nbc poll,

you match joe biden up with nikki haley, she actually beats joe biden by five points. and now in "u.s.a. today" over the weekend, they said this about nikki haley. haley's thoughtful answers about abortion, national debt shows she can do the country's top job. if republicans are smart enough to choose someone with broad,a peel like nikki haley to run against job, they could win back the white house. larry, looking to tomorrow night's debate, she had a good debate last time, all eyes on her, particularly since donald trump is not showing again. >> there is seven of them, i don't want to pick winners and losers, i'm doing pre-debate thing from out there. and various segmentes. it should be a good debate. it is important these candidates

have positive, constructive solutions for the border, for the economy, for biden-flation and real wages, talking about the uaw and climate change. they have to try to show the public what the republican party stands for. there has to be optimistic vision. there has to be a vision of growth and prosperity. we have not grown the economy in sufficiently in many years. inflation continues to outstrip wages, one reason the uaw is on the picket line. living standards are falling. the border is a catastrophe, seems like bipartisan support they understand it is a catastrophe. i picked climate change is extreme policy and doing more damage than good. i'm just saying, for this debate, you have seven people up

there, let the games begin, let's see positive solutions, optimism and happiness. how can the gop solve problems out there? that is what i'm looking for and hoping for. >> steve: that is what we're looking forward to. watch larry's coverage starting tomorrow night 8 p.m. eastern on fox business. thank you for getting up early. >> thanks, steve. >> steve: you bet. all rights, 21 minutes before the top of the hour. from elementary school teacher to second lady of the united states, karen pence, will share her journey guided by god. but first governor kathy hochul calling in more national guard and south dakota governor kristi noem visited the border this past weekend and she will join us next. that cold water can't.

food fight!! [children yelling] [food splattering] cold water, on those stains? welp, only one way to find out... tide cleans better in cold than the leading bargain detergent in warm. cold water can't clean tough stains? i'd say that myth is busted. turn to cold, with tide. tide and downy are giving back with $1.5 million in scholarships. enter to win.

this isn't just freight. these aren't just shipments. they're promises. big promises. small promises. cuddly shaped promises. each with a time and a place they've been promised to be. and the people of old dominion never turn away a promise. or over promise. or make an empty promise. we keep them. a promise is everything to old dominion, because it means everything to you.

to finally lose 80 pounds and keep it off with golo is amazing. i've been maintaining. the weight is gone and it's never coming back. with golo, i've not only kept off the weight but i'm happier, i'm healthier, and i have a new lease on life. golo is the only thing that will let you lose weight and keep it off. who loses 138 pounds in nine months? i did! golo's a lifestyle change and you make the change and it stays off. (soft music)

>> under my direction, new york national guard will deploy additional members, bringing our total to 2200 national guard member supporting the overall mission.

>> lawrence: going to need more than that. new york governor kathy hochul sending more troops to held new york city deal with the growing migrant crisis. south dakota governor kristi noem just returned from the port and joins us with an inside look. what should concern americans the most about the southern border right now? >> that their backyard could look like new york city in the coming days. folks are crossing the border by the thousands everyday. federal policy is allowing it to happen. it is inhumane for those individuals. when they get to our communities, there is no way to support them. joe biden is perpetuating this. what the governor of new york is what every governor will be going through, address this crisis now.

>> lawrence: we saw interesting photos, we saw parents allowing their kids to be cut up by the razor wire and saw border patrol being ordered to cut the wire down. the state of texas paid for that. what do you think the governor of texas needs to do to send a message this can't be tolerated. >> his hands are tied, they are securing the border as state of texas and 14 other governors are sending help. i was with my national guard in eagle pass yesterday. the stories are powerful. they encountered a group of 400 people, 60 turned around, the rest walked through the wire. they have no authority, no rule of engagement that allows them

to stop it. border patrol walked away so they wouldn't be on camera helping facilitate these migrants to cross the border. they are avoiding tv cameras. >> lawrence: of course they are, what is end goal from democrats? what is income, amnesty? >> absolutely, they are remaking this country. that is what you see down there, invasion of our country and they want this to happen so they can continue to perpetuate their agenda. no plan to keep national security a top priority. this is on purpose. that is what my national guard troops are frustrated with. they are trying to figure out

the purpose of what is going on and why the federal government is allowing this to happen. they agree, only people who can fix this situation is federal government and white house. joe biden could snap his fingers and our country could be secure again. that is frustrating for all of us. >> lawrence: day one he removed stay in mexico and stopped border fencing. governor, thank you for joining us program. >> thank you, have a wonderful day. eat a pancake. >> lawrence: you know i will, i love pancakes. from elementary school teacher in indiana to second lady of the us, karen pence, guided by faith, is next. check in, hemmer time for what is coming up.

call just a peace surrounds you and maybe that's what our young people are experiencing. >> ainsley: how do you know when god is calling you? >> i talk about this a lot in the book and i have lots of little behind the scenes stories at the white house and governor's residence and i talk about when we've had to make decisions and how we know is god calling me to do this or is this just my own ambition? and i think when you pray a lot about it, you go to the word, and then you make that decision, i know in my life when i've answered the call, i just feel a peace and a calm settles in. then i move forward. he gives me the grace and he has all the way through our whole political career. >> ainsley: i know you start evidence as an elementary school teacher. you have seen your husband change professions from the radio show to serving in indiana and then becoming vice president of the united states. you moved around, i think, 18

different moves, countless surprises and your faith helped navigate this journey. did some decisions when you pray and pray, how long does it take for god to answer? >> well you know, it's interesting because i think a lot of it is faith. so it is stepping out. i tell one story in the book about when mike and i had to decide whether or not we were going to run for a third time. we lost the first two times we ran for congress. we had three kids and i would have to consider moving to washington and raising them there. we took a vacation to the teddy roosevelt national forest and we were up on a mountain and we just sat on the side of a bluff and mike said we have to make a decision. are we going to run or not? at that moment, these two red tail hawks just lifted up, you know, on a wind current and right then i said you know what? i think we should run. but not like the first two times where we ran out of our own

ambition. we should step off this cliff and make ourselves available to god and if he wants to lift us up, we're available wherever he wants us to serve. and we said let's do it with no flapping. that's kind of become our mantra. he gave us that peace then. once we made the decision, then the calm settled in. >> ainsley: god took you to the edge and told you what he wanted you to do and you won. that's great. thank you. buy this book and support their family. when it is your turn to serve. they have done so much for the community of god and our country. god bless you. we want to help you and everyone buy her book. have a great day, everyone. see you tomorrow. >> bill: thanks, good morning. the stakes are set for tomorrow night's showdown. seven qualified for the republican primary debate after reaching the rnc polling and donor thresholds. donald trump will not be there. we are live
