paycheck. >> brian: your mom left, lawrence? >> lawrence: my mom was here earlier. >> brian: she left? >> steve: she had stuff to do. >> lawrence: she went to work, she's got to pay her bills. >> ainsley: what does your mom do, lawrence? >> lawrence: like clerical stuff. >> steve: it was great to meet her live on breakfast with friends. they are at normans in north dallas. it looks like that was built by a tv producer, it is red, white and blue and nice so many people showed up really early in the central time zone. >> lawrence: yeah, they love "fox and friends," they wish the whole show could have come down here temperature is truly great to be with the folks that helped raise me. it is home. >> ainsley: if you have never been, you have to go. what is the famous restaurant

mexican restaurant, mi cocina and you have highland park, great shopping and the churches. >> lawrence: everything and everything is bigger here, too. >> steve: last time i was there, i saw troy aikman one table over. >> brian: next guest just quickly for up to zero leaks. >> hello, it's a beautiful day launched a bid to be next speaker of the house. here in new york city. but changes are coming. let's take a look at the maps. congressman jim jordan. it has been warmer than average you are on the fence the night for the eastern third of the country. you have a cold front moving of the ouster. through and that will bring the what changed your mind to say, i potential for not only showers want to be speaker? and thunderstorms maybe some severe weather and heavy rain that could cause flooding. >> you need someone to unite. the exclusive fox model as the that is what i think i can do. cold front moves across the i'm running for the job. eastern seaboard friday and i like the job i had, chairman saturday and we have philippe of the judiciary committee, doing the work there, but i think we have to have someone that can bring our team together. i think i'm best equipped to do transitioning this weekend.

the effects of the cold front that. the eight that voted in a way i will be enhanced by the tropical disagreed with, we have to bring moisture. the tropical models, landfall them into the fold. i think i'm best equipped to do sometime sunday. we'll feel impacts along the that. first thing i would focus on is east coast and bermuda will have to watch it as well. one sentence, no money can be fox weather.com will keep you updated on all the latest used to process or release new details. i just spoke about. brian and steve, over to you. migrants. stop what is going on in texas >> steve: thank you very much. and across the country, that is let's go from mid town manhattan to north dallas, texas, lawrence first bill, attach to a spending is still having breakfast with bill and get that done for friends as norman's cafe. america. this is a central issue. >> brian: final comments. mayor adams of new york is in >> before we close the show ask latin america as we speak some of the folks what's happening. because this is so big. what do you think is the most we need to get democrats important issue facing the onboard. >> ainsley: you should not be country? >> i don't think you can narrow it down to one thing. penalized for the good job you the border obviously, living in did on judiciary. republicans love to see what you are doing going after the biden texas, living anywhere, the border, the economy, crime. family and get to the bottom of what they have done with their >> thank you so much. taxes, if they have done now i will swing around real anything wrong. quick. if you leave and become speaker what's the most important issue and leave judiciary, what will facing the country?

>> crime right now. happen to that committee? >> what about you? will the investigations still >> economy, crime and of course continue? the border as we know, being >> they sure will, we've been working with the speakers office here in texas. >> what about you, most important issue facing the all along. you have to consult house country? >> corruption. >> corruption. i will go back to you. counsel, so we if i get pring of what's the most important issue facing the country? being next speaker of the house >> crime. we're lucky in dallas we have a fairly safe cities. we will work with judiciary, a lot of cities aren't safe. oversight and ways and means as >> part of the reason dallas is so safe is because they have the we do oversight of the executive branch, that will continue. i was in a deposition two days first republican mayor, erik johnson. we have an exclusive interview ago with the u.s. attorney with him that will air tomorrow. matthew graves, who declined to one of the issues that made him partner with matt gaetz. that has to continue, that is flip party was the issue of defund the police. our job. >> steve: mr. jordan, moderates he will tell the full story have said and been vocal, they tomorrow on fox and friends. will not vote for anybody unless >> very democratic city. they change that rule on one now a republican. vote can get somebody vacated let's see if he can keep that from the seat, which is support. essentially how the capital coup >> a lot of folks support him. he said look, i have to do what

was right for me and my family. happened the other day. i can't be with the democratic moderates want to change the party the way they are right rule. for conservatives, that is a now. he goes i've been governing as a deal breaker. republican mayor for the last i was reading this morning in four years. they just didn't know it. axios expectations are rock >> steve: lawrence, you have bottom that civil war between been at norman's all morning the republican party can be long. what did you have for breakfast and what would you suggest if fixed by next week. folks are traveling through >> we have to fix it, i said north dallas? >> get the biscuits and gravy this when i nominated kevin mccarthy. any differences that exist in and cinnamon rolls. the republican party pale to the >> steve: see you back in new york city. hop on the plane with your dog difference in us and the radical and get back to gotham. >> see you all tomorrow. left. we had better stick together and >> brian: all right. come together to fight for the run to the radio. things that make our country the "america's newsroom" starts now. gre greatest. if the conference wants that rule changed, i will not go to democrats to get that done, we will have to decide as 222 republicans, are we going to

change that, that is only way it gets done if that is what the conference wants. you have to bring the team together and focus on so we can help the american people and do what we said we were going to do. >> steve: lawrence. >> lawrence: congressman, i'm here with the people of texas, they want to know if you are going to start fighting for them. unity is okay, what cost? will you do what you say? balance budget, getting crime under control, inflation and the border, what is the plan to get the caucus in line with the conservative agenda you guys ran on? >> you take the case to the american people. we sent over the border enforcement legislation. go to the american people and tell the senate to take up that legislation. they might amend it and make

changes and then you have a final package you vote on, that is how the system works, we have toic tathe case to the american people so they put pressure on the united states senate. in divided government, we will not get everything, we have to fight to get most of what we want or part of what we want. we are not getting any of that, they won't take up the legislation and do their job thachl is how our system works. it is cumbersome, but it is the best. use our legislative system to get those things done. take up the bill chuck schumer, deal with the legislation, send it to us and we will figure out the difference. >> brian: some have said they will support you right off the bat, so why are you better than steve scalise, who seems to be next in line.

>> you are right, kevin, steve and i came in together. steve is a hero. i am better equipped to bring the conservatives along with moderates. jeff van drew is supporting me, he was a democrats, now a member of our conference, he is supporting me. we have to get to the real goal, those things we told the american people we would do for them. >> ainsley: we've watched joe biden, he came out much afghanistan and told everyone that was success and with the border, he said it is not a crisis, it is secure and not open. now they are saying we have to build a wall. they ran on never building a wall, we will not build a wall and this morning you have his team, mayorkas saying there is acute and immediate need to construct barrier and road for unlawful entries. why change his tune now?

>> because democrats are telling him, the problem is so severe and serious, they are not doing what president trump said we should do all along. that is how bad this situation is and if we can pass the legislation that i think changes the equation, when we say you cannot use tax dollars until you stop the problem, that is how you fix things and what we need to do. >> steve: talk about aid for ukraine. there are number of conservatives who say in your conference that they will sink any candidate for speaker who does support aid for ukraine. where are you on that? >> i have been clear all along, why should we send american tax dollars to ukraine when we don't know the goal or objective. is it a negotiated peace? drive them out of eastern ukraine, driving them out of crimea? what is the objective? until you can tell me the goal,

i don't think we should send money there when we have problems on our border. that is fundamental, front and center and how is the money that has been sent been spent, what waste is going, two fundamental questions the american taxpayer wants to know the answer to. you are sending money there to protect ukraine border when we have the situation on our border. those are questions we should answer before we think about sending more money. >> steve: lawrence. >> lawrence: congressman, last two times i talked to you, you said you didn't want the job. many tried to get you to run for the speaker post. why now? why is this the moment for jim jordan to lead the conference? >> because somebody has to bring our team together or we will not get done what the american people know need to be done and what is good for our nation.

somebody needs to do it, i think i'm equipped to do it and take the message to the american people about why this is so darn important. two questions, who can unite the team and who can take this message to the people. i hope my colleagues will support me and that is what i'm asking and talking with them all day long and starting to lose my voice. >> brian: congressman, you are trying to get -- you become speaker next week, appropriations bills are not done, deadline is here, do you do a deal to ep coo the government open for additional cr, deal with democrats or let the government shut down? >> pass the bipartisan bill in the senate, take that bill up and pass it, no shutdown acts, senator langford and hasan have that bill. langford said if you don't get work done in school, you stay

after class. that bill says, end of fiscal year, have not done appropriations bill, government stays funded but we stay here around the clock until we do our job, that would take this shutdown politics stuff off the table. do that and focus on the legislation. if we need a continuing resolution or stopgap measure, i think it should go all the way to next year. the way the debt ceiling deal was done, if you do a spending bill, there is automatic cut that kicks in, incentive for us to get work done and focus on the approximatelies we want on 12 appropriations bills. that is the only strategy that makes sense. that funding bill, everyone voted for that, two-thirds of senate and house voted for that, joe biden signed it, it is something everyone supported. i think that is incentive to get

work done and let the system work the way it is supposed to. >> brian: i can't believe you would accept the job without that one vote margin to vacate, it is suicidal, he had 210 votes supporting him and now he is out of a job temperature is impossible to keep 218 people happy all the time. we have to as a conference, as republicans, figure that out, if i'm speaker, i will not go to the democrats and make the change. they will want some other agreement on other things, i think you have to work it out with your party. as i've said, i think i can make that happen if that is where the conference wants to go. >> ainsley: you have congressman carlos gimenez who says he will not support anyone unless there is motion to vacate. -- is open to be speaker. you were reading an article that says -- >> steve: you have a rule if

somebody is facing felony indictments, where they could go away more than two years, they can't do that, you would have to change the rule. >> ainsley: he posted a picture, donald trump with a gavel. yesterday he said it was funny because reporters were asking about the courtroom and then as he is walking away someone asked him would you want to be speaker and he turns around and answers the question. i think we have the sound bite. >> a lot of people have been calling me about speaker, we will do whatever is best for the country and for the republican party. >> would you take the job? >> a lot of people have asked me about that. i'm sure you know me too much, the papers, leading by 50 points for president. my focus is totally on that. if i can help them during the process, i would do it. >> ainsley: my focus on being

president, but if they need my help in the process, i would do it. what is your reaction? >> i think president trumpun was to be president of the united states, i think he's the best president we've had in my lifetime, did more than any president i can remember. i want him to be president of the united states, and i think that is what is going to happen. the country is so fed up with policies of joe biden. i think president trump will be the nominee, winning by 40 or 50 points. i think he will be our next president. he beat joe biden in polls by 10 or 11 points. i think he wants to be president, i want him to be president. >> steve: you know the white house and dnc tweeting stuff about chaos on the republican side. democrats would love it if somebody introduced into nomination donald trump. because donald trump could probably get every single democrats to vote for him to

continue the chaos and only need five or six republicans, next thing you know, they got the hammer. >> ainsley: they would be on record vote are for donald trump. >> steve: the chaos would continue, they say. >> we need to come together because right now the country, the crime problem, we did a field hearing in chicago, crime problem is so severe, immigration border is so severe, inflation so severe, come together as republicans and address what the american people want us to address. >> steve: lawrence. >> lawrence: how do you unify the caucus? i've talked to representatives that said they didn't hear from kevin mccarthy, how do you get both facts, to come together? i thought it was ridiculous that the speaker did not know how some members were going to vote. thatten moos you are not talking

to the people. are you talking to the folks there? >> lawrence, i've made more phone calls than in any one day. i am talking to my colleagues, that is part of this process. tell them who you are. they know who i am. people know how we run our committee. i was top republican on the oversight committee and judiciary committee, use that example and say that is how i would run the house and work with our team. you have to build trust and i think we've done that on the committee, that is what i want to do for the entire conference. >> brian: you came in, john boehner was clashing with you, have you changed or congress has changed that make you seem like you want to be more of a unifier? >> i was fighting for the same things, been involved in every major investigation over the last decade. the irs, i was on the benghazi

select committee, same guy i always was. what i have figured out, if we don't come together, i don't know how you stop where the left wants to go. i love what sarah huckabee sanders said, where the left want to take the country is crazy. they think noncitizens should vote and they thought it was okay to let a chinese spy balloon fly across the country and then shoot it down. people i represent thought that was crazy, that is what we have to stop and i don't know how we do. >> brian: what did kevin mccarthy do wrong? >> i don't think he did anything wrong and i disagree with what my colleagues did. there was problems in the schedule and how we got to appropriations, but kevin mccarthy said we were going to

pass the bills we told the country we were going on to, do the oversight and deal with ridiculous spending, that is what we're in the middle of now. >> steve: good luck mending that civil war going on. >> brian: hopefully we got to get a quick vote next week. you can't not have a house in our country. >> ainsley: coming up, empire built on lies, that is what prosecution is saying about ftx in the trial of sam bankman-fried, we have a live report from right outside the courthouse, that is next. ♪ it takes two to make it outta sight ♪ ♪ one, two, get loose now ♪ ♪ it takes two to make a... ♪ stay two nights and get 5k bonus points. book direct at bestwestern.com. 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.

hi, i'm norma, and i lost 53 pounds on golo. once i entered menopause, i did not like the fact that i had gained body fat around my waist. and i thought, "oh, no, that can't happen." i've never had that problem. after starting golo and taking release, i immediately saw an improvement in my waistline. a lot of people expect to fall apart as they age, but since taking release, i've never felt better. thanks to golo, i'm 66 but i feel like i'm 36.

prosecution case is underway. the burden of proof lies with the prosecution, as much as this has played out. they have to prove there was criminal intent. the first person they called was a victim. the defense tried to invest crypto is risky. he said he would never have invested if he knew his money would be used for other things. there was heir of -- they played tom brady commercial and multiple witnesses cited them as underscoring the safety and doesn't happen the class-action lawsuit brought against those who invested. a coder for ftx is testifying

under immunity as he worries the code he wrote was used for crimes. in opening statements they said he had wealths, power, influence, but all of that was built on lies. when the defendant wanted money, he committed fraud, he took other people's money. the defense shared their road map and will blame sam bankman-fried ex-girlfriend. they will blame the crypto industry and try to paint ftx as acting in good faith. defense attorneys have assured me fraud is fraud, whether crypto or at a car lot. prosecution needs to be careful when evidence is steeped in code and crypto so they don't confuse the jury. >> steve: it is confusing. thanks terror making it easy to

i don't believe a word of it, i think they are trying to pretend they give a damn. you have blue may are ones, you have eric adams in new york saying illegal immigration is destroying new york city. they have had 110,000 million illegal immigrants, what do you think 7.6 million have done? i don't think joe biden wants to fix it, i think this is window dressing. he wants more illegal immigrants. >> lawrence: i see this visa thing, which is a magnet. >> i think the end goal is two things, there is a dynamic in the parties, they have gone crazy and handed their policy

over to radical fringe on every issue. look at law enforcement, they are listening to abolish the police nut cases in the party. look at gender issues and listening to people that want to sterilize and mutilate children. those are crazies, those are not mainstream view. they are listening to open board radicals that believe we should not have borders. that is part of it. there is cynical democrat politicians that look at 7.6 million and see them as future democratic voters. their view, they are willing to look the other way and tolerate people being killed and children being brutalized and tolerate women being sexually assaulted and people dying of drug overdoses, they say those issues

are less than bringing in a bunch of democrats and flipping the entire country blue. it is insigne cal as all get-out and i see no evidence they want to change. >> lawrence: now they are taking the air marshals, they don't want to use border agents, they want to send them to the border. >> and they are sending them, i'm trying to get answers, how many air marshals have they pulled out of the sky. we have that program in large part following 9/11, the job is to stop terrorism in the sky and joe biden and this admini administration, they are pulling air marshals off the plane, making us velenerable to terrorism and they are sending them and the reports we are getting, they are ordering them to go to the border. the most maddening thing, they

are not doing law enforcement. they are doing paperwork and processing. alejandro mayorkas, secretary of homeland security, he is not trying to stop this. he views his job is to speedup illegal immigration. when you listen to his testimony before the senate, hes, look, i want to process illegal immigrants faster. one of the last times i was there, border patrol agents showed me an app on their phone, they can process an illegal immigrant in two minutes. i know you have been to the border, but for folks that haven't, i bring senators to the border and we go out on midnight patrol and you don't have to go look for illegal immigrants. within minutes, they will find you and turn themselves into you. they are not running, they are

looking for you. they show up and have a plastic baggy they carry and they have a cell phone. they have a form of id, passport, birth certificate or drivers license and piece of paper of name and number and address of someone in the united states. with the app, they can scan the passport. they say, where do you want to go? new york city, big apple, great, go sit over there. they process to put you on plane or bus to send you where you want to go and every city in america is a border city. joe biden is the last mile of the human trafficking network. >> lawrence: you have an opponent. ted cruz has an opponent in his upcoming race. how is that race going right now? >> it will be a real fight. democrats have set their sights

on state of texas. chuck schumer made clear i am the number one target in the country that he wants to take out. my last reelection in 2018, most expensive senate race in u.s. history, we were outspent 3-1. democrats flooded tens of millions into the state of texas and more than doubled democrat turnout in texas. they drove democrat turnout up to 4 million from 1.8 million. that had never happened, that was unprecedented. we saw that happen and drove republican turnout from 2.8 million. all i won by was 200,000 out of 8 million, they will spend $100 million trying to flip texas blue fchl they succeed, if texas turns blue, the country is gone. the rest of the country, we

don't stay up at night wondering what upon has with ohio if texas turns blue. go to tedcruz.org. we need your support and help because the democrats have set their bullseye on my race in texas. >> lawrence: folks, who wants to turn texas blue? [booing] >> lawrence: i don't think they want to do that. back to steve in new york city. >> steve: you could hear a pin drop, everybody listening and hanging on to every word from the senator. great analysis. more from lawrence and folks in a minute. up next a liberal "washington post" columnist does the new york fraud case against donald trump go too far? talk to dave reuben and see if he agrees, coming up next on "fox and friends." around the veter ans. when i think of the veteran out

>> brian: could a liberal columnist be defending donald trump? does the new york fraud case against donald trump go too far? ruth marcus rights this, i will be cheering if trump is ordered to write a big check, but

forcing sale of his businesses seized unnecessarily. here to react is dave ruben. is this a bridge too far for everybody? >> brian, you know when they are waking up the liberals in the pages of the "washington post" are defending donald trump, you know something is not right. this one, it is about his businesses, not classified document or who he said what to when he was president. this is a bridge too far even for people that really don't like trump. there are issues whether he appraised property at the right value. there are property appraisers who do that. you just don't get to get any loan you want. these are loans he paid back, the statute of limitation has

passed on much of this stuff. i have been critical of donald trump, it has not been great to say the least. i have no problem defending something like this. i don't know if he should pay a big check. let the guy have his businesses. going after him, let the guy have his businesses. these are not issues people care about or help anybody. >> brian: they want to take him down obviously, leticia james ran on it, we have video for days about it. no one was clammering, no construction worker, no contractor, no bank is upset by it. i believe it directly related to his rise in the polls. he is up in pennsylvania, which has not been up by this much since 2017 or 2018. overall in the poll last week, double digits.

it is making it harder for the republican side to beat him or get oxygen. >> i know, it is bizarre. it is as if the system trying to take him out with the charges and media that is obsessed with lying about him and everything else, in a weird way, they are propping him up. if none of the cases were happening, federal stuff or personal cases related to business, he would have to be out there more defending his record and everything related to covid and the economy and going head-to-head with desantis and you don't see that, he is getting artificial bump related to that. i don't know that he likes it, you are right, there is bump and defense from people who would not defend him otherwise. >> brian: get to this, democratic senator menendez in trouble and this emerges. 2018, his wife got in an accident and someone died, this

has just emerged, watch. >> that is your statement you were driving this way, guy came from this way and he ran into your vehicle. he jumped on my windshield, yes. >> brian: this is not good. the guy ended up, the pedestrian she hit, this was not even public knowledge until today. >> yeah, the tragedy of the person dying, something bizarrely refreshing, it feels like an old-school mafia movie like watching "goodfellas" right in our face. this situation sounds like maybe he applied pressure or something. the guy has to go. we are tired

trouble. looks like he is done. >> brian: i think so, innocent until proven guilty. a lot to talk about. we will check in with lawrence at norman's cafe talking to diners. first check in with bill hemmer who had breakfast before his show. >> bill: busy morning, brian, not another foot of wall was then for joe biden. we will tell you what we think ? and movement in the card. we will see you nine minutes away, top of the hour. gus h mom. when your keys are in the door and your body's like, “it's happening”! if you're worried about your protection, it's not the right protection. always discreet protects like no other. with double leak guards that help prevent gushes escaping from the sides. and a rapid dry core that locks in your heaviest gush
