learning loss because of it. look, i tell people all the time, this is not about republican vs. democrat. this is about crazy vs. normal. and it's crazy to have a governor here in kentucky who would openly endorse joe biden for president. but that's what we have in andy beshear. it's crazy to have a governor who would let 2,000 criminals out of jail, but that's what we have in andy beshear. i'm going to be the next governor of kentucky because i'm standing up for the working men and women of this commonwealth. we're going to get past the crazy beshear-biden agenda and we're going to return to the values of kentucky and the values that made this country great, whether it be faith, family and community. we're going to get back to those things here in kentucky after november 7th. >> todd: it will be interesting to see if this is a referendum on joe biden. we will be watching this coming tuesday. daniel cameron, thank you very much. good luck to you, sir. and, with that, "fox & friends" begins right now. ♪ >> steve: good morning, everybody. it is 12:00 noon in tel aviv. right now ourselves

antony blinken is meeting with the prime minister of israel benjamin netanyahu. he touched down in tel aviv a couple hours ago and started shaking hands. >> ainsley: and in about 15 minutes we expect with the secretary to meet with the israeli president his name is isaac herzog. we will carry it live when it happens. blinken's visit comes as the biden administration pushes for a pause on the war so they can get humanitarian aid in and the hostages out. >> brian: meanwhile on the battlefield israeli forces come face to face with terrorists and take out a top hamas commander. the idf says forces now have the largest city in gaza surrounded. >> lawrence: today hezbollah's leader is scheduled to speak for the first time since hamas attacked israel. we have fox team coverage with jonathan hunt live in the west bank with israeli forces have been carrying out raids. but, first, let's go to trey yingst who is on the ground in southern israel. trey, what can you tell us?

hey lawrence, good morning. we know u.s. secretary of state antony blinken is on the ground. the biden administration is expected to push for a humanitarian pause, trying to encourage the israelis to allow more aid into the gaza strip and some of those foreigners to get out. i do want to show you just behind me what gaza looks like. overnight there was some heavy fighting that took place along the border here with the northern part of the gaza strip. lots of flares launched overnight as the israelis pushed deeper into gaza engaging hamas militants who popped out of tunnels and ambushed the troops. israelis releasing another name of a soldier that was killed this week inside gaza. bringing the total to 24 israeli soldiers killed since the ground push began. we do know they have been using the navy and also the air force to strike different hamas positions with the support of artillery units along the border. and all of that fighting comes, again, as the biden administration is calling for a humanitarian pause. we do know that yesterday there was quite the exchange between

john kirby of the national security council and our peter doocy. take a listen. >> a pause does not help hamas. >> a temporary pause that's localized that would allow us to get aid in and to get our people out is a good thing for the people of gaza. it's a good thing for the americans that are being held hostage, and it's not gonna stop israel from defending itself because the security assistance we are providing continues to flow. and a temporary pause doesn't mean a general cease-fire where the war is over. >> trey: peter has important point hamas would be helped by a pause in the fighting. it gives them more time to gather their forces and continue ambushes against israeli troops inside the strip. there will be back and forth expected between israeli leadership and secretary of state blinken. this comes as the fighting readges on in the north. hassan nasrallah is scheduled to speak in public e normally makes

video address out of security concerns. but the israelis are bracing for nasrallah to announce a more wider participation by hezbollah in the fighting in the north. and that does come as the israelis keep striking positions in response to attacks against northern israel. guys? >> brian: trey, what's the 3we69 of him announcing it? he was just rocketing israel without announcing it. what else the benefit of him making a formal declaration unless it's something that is going to be a total surprise? what are the indications is he going to say? >> yeah. that's a great point. look, from our perspective, we actually don't think he is going to come out and announce a declaration of are a this would be used another step on the ceas labor relation ladder. last night late in the evening, i was on the call with an idf spokesman and i posed this question. he says the israelis have intelligence that nasrallah will use this speech as an opportunity to at least appear like they are throwing more support behind hamas, the second largest iranian proxy in the

region. and then be able -- i just want to step out of the frame here there was airstrike behind me. as we talk about that have my cameraman punch in you can see on the gaza strip. he will likely use this as an opportunity to step up on the escalation ladder. when i asked israelis about this. they pointed to the fact yesterday there was increase in attacks along the northern border and types of weapons being used against israeli forces were more significant than we had seen in the past. traditionally, the past few weeks we have seen hezbollah using anti tank guided missiles and small arms. yesterday they launched suicide drones against israeli positions. and that just shows they have other weapons in their arsenal and they are starting to use them against the israeli forces in the northern part of the country. >> ainsley: trey, how trustworthy are the numbers that are being reported back here in america? because, if you go on social media, you see both sides arguing the numbers and. >> steve: one side big numbers and the other side not so much. >> ainsley: these numbers are

coming from officials in gaza. with they be trusted? >> the death toll? >> ainsley: yes. >> trey: we should definitely be critical of the numbers that we're getting from inside gaza. we can report that thousands have been killed in the israeli responses against the gaza strip since october 7th. but to quote an exact number we have to attribute that to the hamas-run palestinian health ministry. i will say traditionally, they have been the only source of information from inside gaza, but there is no way for us to independently confirm those numbers. so we attribute to the hamas run health ministries but remain critical of the specific number of those killed. with that said as well, the palestinians have released a list of every person killed inside gaza but, again, there is no way to independently confirm each and every name on that list. so we remain skeptical of the number. [explosion] >> trey: thousands have been killed in the response by israel

southern israel. >> steve: that's right. trey, we split the screen. woe were actually looking at the rafah crossing along with your report. can you see that aid is coming in. so, it sounds like blenk is talking to netanyahu to get people in and some people out of gaza. one of the things he is pressuring netanyahu for is to get -- to allow israel to allow some more fuel into gaza but, of course, the fuel can be used for rockets and so far israel has said no. is there any chance is he gonna say okay, sure, they need it for the hospitals, let's give them some gas? >> trey: in terms of fuel entering the gaza strip, what we have heard from israelis is very simple, no. they are not going to allow fuel to enter gaza. with that said, is there some sort of deal that could be cut behind the scenes to allow some

fuel n exchange for hostages? in that case maybe they would bend a little and allow some fuel to go into gaza. we should be clear if fuel goes into gaza, inevitably hamas will take it to fuel their generators that they use to pump air into the tunnels underneath the strip and provide air conditioning for the hamas leadership that is hiding beneath gaza. that's why the israelis don't want to provide fuel. it's not that they don't want the palestinian civilians to have fuel in order to survive. they understand that hamas will siphon some of that fuel, if not the majority of it off and use it for their own efforts to continue the war. >> lawrence: trey, it's clear that the leader of hezbollah wants people to know that he is alive. he wants to recruit. it goes for the same for hamas as well. the big question is we see the impact here at home. we see the protests, the people that are rallying behind that movement. but i'm curious on the ground, the actual fighters that they're trying to recruit, how is that going on the ground? do you see more men coming out in support that are sympathetic

of hezbollah, sympathetic of hamas, or is there anger at the leaders? >> trey: that's great question. i found the clip we referenced yesterday that i spoke on "fox & friends" about a mother inside gaza and we weren't able to confirm if it was her child or one of her relatives but she was there in front of a body of someone who was killed in an israeli airstrike. and she was screaming out those hamas dogs, they did this. this is their fault. and someone comes into the frame and puts a hand over her mouth as to not let her say any more negative things about hamas. but it gives you a sense that even palestinian civilians inside gaza understand they wouldn't be here today if it weren't for that massacre on october 7th. so there is definitely growing frustration. we also know we can't confirm the exact number, but we know that tips provided to israelis

after a leaflet drop inside gaza, they were encouraging people to provide information to help israeli war efforts inside the strip. that's one support of this equation. the other part is hezbollah in southern lebanon. and there are reports that indicate iranian militias, iranian backed militias from places like iraq and syria are starting to push their fighters into southern lebanon in preparation for this to expand. and so iran has tentacles as it's been described before across the middle east. they are trying to push the meter as much as possible here to see how deeply they can get involved. they are playing with fire. israelis only using a portion of their air force against gaza. they have maintained a lot of fire power that they could use against iranian regime if it does come to it. >> brian: yep. they are behind everything. trey, thanks so much. >> lawrence: thanks, trey. >> ainsley: to the north israeli forces involved in deadly raids in the west bank. >> steve: let's go to jonathan hunt who is live on the ground

in ramallah, which is one of the territories controlled by the palestinians. jonathan, we know it's hard to get in and out of gaza is it hard to get in and out of the west bank? >> no, frankly for us, it is not that difficult at all, steve. but the great concern is here, the protests, the pro-hamas protests are growing much stronger throughout the west bank. now, overnight, there were clashes between palestinians and israeli forces, nine pales palestinians across the west bank with killed. that brings close to 140, by some counts, the number of palestinians killed in the west bank since october 7th. and there have been something like 1500 or so arrests of palestinians made. all that is feeding into growing frustration here, growing anger here. growing support for hamas. now, we are just afternoon on friday here which means the

mosques are at the west bank ramallah are full. it's friday prayers. their traditional day of prayer. that also has always become the traditional day of protest, too. and authorities here are, in israel are expecting that some of the biggest protests we have yet seen in the west bank. we will shortly be moving towards -- we believe one of those protests will be gathering. bring that to you the next hour. there is great concern here. i speak to politically connected people here, steve. and what they are telling me is that if there was an election here now, the much more moderate palestinian authority would be kicked out and they believe hamas would win an election in the west bank. just imagine how terrifying a thought that is. how terrifying a phrase that is to say to any israeli. we are also hearing talk that islamic jihad is becoming a stronger and stronger force

particularly in the northern part of the west bank, around places like jeanine where we have seen some of the most intense clashes between palestinians and the idf. if islamic jihad is growing in power here. if hamas is growing its support here it is of great concern for israel. politically, the future is of great concern. today, the potential protests are of great concern. steve, ainsley, brian, lawrence? >> brian: jonathan, real quick, anyone who says two-state solution like the president of the united states. it would be in the west bank. and what country, what sane country would say it would be okay to let a terrorist nation form on the west bank? >> i will tell you, this briefly, brian. i have been coming to israel for some two decades or so now and to the palestinian territory in the west bank and in gaza. i have spoken to a lot of the moderate people who have always talked about pa two-state solution. particularly in israel now that is very much not a subject of

conversation for anybody. they cannot make peace. they cannot even think about a two-state solution, obviously, with hamas. so if hamas were eventually to come to power in the west bank, then, yeah, it's absolutely off the table as far as every single israeli is concerned. so the political path forward is fraught right now, brian. nobody knows what shape that might take. that's one of the problems. one of the things this secretary of state antony blinken wants to talk to the israeli government about. somebody has to start coming up with ideas for what comes next. now, is that going to be an international peace keeping force in gaza? quite possibly. would that involve u.s. troops on the ground? quite possibly. so there's a lot of scenarios being discussed, none of them very good at the moment though, brian. >> brian: thanks, jonathan, appreciate it. >> steve: he just mentioned secretary of state anthony blinken as you can see in the corner of the screen right there, we are expecting him. he could pop n about a minute. and as soon as he comes out to announce what he and netanyahu talked about, we will take you

there, live. meanwhile, let's go down to washington real quick, as predicted the house of representatives, under republican leadership voted to give the israelis military funding to the tune of about $14 billion. it does not include humanitarian aid or assistance for gaza. it's interesting. before the vote, the white house was actually calling jewish democrats urging them to vote no. but ultimately at the end, and you just saw on that scoreboard, 12 democrats voted with the republicans; however, two republicans voted no as well. >> ainsley: thomas massi and marjorie taylor greene said no. it will cut funding from the irs. remember the irs got the $80 billion boost during the inflation reduction act? and kevin mccarthy, his debt limit deal stripped a little bit of money away from the irs. but they still have 67 billion. the speaker, the new speaker, mike johnson said the irs has the largest pile of money, so this makes sense fiscally to take it from them.

>> steve: but the white house said it's a bad idea. and joe biden has threatened to veto it. he said it's a bad idea if you're going to get emergency money by cutting some money somewhere else because if it's an emergency, you need the money right now. >> lawrence: i think most americans don't like the irs. it was the easiest thing to do to get american support. i think the other thing, brian, that the president is upset about is that it didn't have ukraine funding. he wanted to put all these bills together to get one package. although the president has been able to make the case for the support of israel, he hasn't been able to make the case to the american people on why we should continue to fund ukraine. and this is on the heels of even information coming out from zelenskyy's administration of corruption and apparently they have been spending the money like crazy in ukraine. it's not for the war. >> brian: they do have to put some -- find out how it is being spent. you cannot let ukraine die on the vine. generations will pay the price.

but having this 14 billion, democrats are floating an idea. they think they would get the republicans' that is on the border. floating proposals to change the asylum rules and maybe bring it up remain in mexico and getting some money and some changes. there is there anything more important in our country than getting our southern border under control? and, believe it or not, you would think it's in the president's interest to do this anyway, not as a favor to republicans that's what they're putting out there. they know these democratic mayors went to see him yesterday. they have the same complaints as republicans. that is my cities are overwhelmed. your policies are absolutely awful. we have no money to take care of these people. what the hell are you doing? so they putting together a package to entice republicans to expand the package a little bit. it's dead in the senate. and the president says he will veto it. i don't know where it goes from here. >> ainsley: senate wants aid for ukraine in there as well. >> brian: why is marjorie taylor greene against this and thomas

massie? >> lawrence: i understand thomas massie he is a spending hawk. >> steve: he is all about the money. >> lawrence: he has been consistent. >> brian: it's paid for. >> lawrence: nothing is paid for if we have debt going on. >> brian: they already put the money aside. >> lawrence: i'm not surprised but marjorie i am surprised. >> ainsley: that happened in d.c. yesterday. we will continue to talk about that. but also in d.c. they will have the largest palestinian solidarity march in u.s. history tomorrow. it's going to take place here in washington. so we're going to be watching that also in new york city, there was a pro-palestinian protest here in the street. and they were taking the -- look at that, the israeli flag and lighting it on fire. one guy bent down to pick it up, and he was kicked by someone like that. someone wearing a complete mask. couldn't tell who it was. they are yelling, free, free palestine. crumbling up the kidnap signs and throwing it at the

pro-israel protester. >> that's as they burn the israeli flag on the streets of new york city. it's interesting. yesterday, and we have been talking a little bit about these people on college campuses who are ripping down the ransom pictures. of the hostages. and, in fact, here in new york, there were some pro-israeli protesters standing guard in front of the missing pictures -- missing people's pictures. then, let's take you down to-that's the the amtrak station philadelphia. there is a gigantic sit-in and demonstration at the peak of rush hour. so people didn't get home in time. inside 300 people sat down to demand a cease-fire. and then about 7:00 last night, people started to block all of the entrances to a major artery. and the theme at all of these protests is there must be a cease-fire. there has got to be a cease-fire. but the united states and israel

both saying no. there might be a pause, but there is not going to be a cease-fire. >> brian: also have to say with hillary clinton yesterday she was speaking at columbia. she had people walk out when she said there should be no cease-fire. you have to continue. if you give a pause, hamas benefits from. that will do not stop. i cannot believe it. i agree 110% with hillary clinton. >> ainsley: day too. i was shocked. >> brian: admiral kirby is ridiculous, you will see this later, comments to peter doocy, and is he a military guy trying it to split the difference between a cease-fire and a pause. there is no difference. it benefits hamas. they have encircled gaza city. let them finish the job. but these columbia students to show you what the democrats have done. they have radicalized their base to such a point that they are actually turning on democrats, that's the latest example. >> lawrence: brian, that's why the president couldn't stand firm. it was a protester that asked the president the question. admiral kirby knows better. is he pinning for the president right now. if you go to salon right now. this is the headline.

maga and christian nationalism is a bigger threat to america than hamas could ever be. >> steve: i saw that. >> lawrence: this is the type of stuff that has been printed in the american press right now. they do not stand with israel. they do stand with hamas. >> steve: the lower left-hand quad box right there that, is what happened yesterday. durham, north carolina. protesters blocked a freeway and also calling for a cease-fire in gaza. it's interesting, they held up a sign. >> ainsley: look how much it backed up traffic. that's ridiculous. >> steve: that's how they make their point. these people want a cease-fire. >> ainsley: what if there is an emergency and someone needs to a pick up their child or make to a meeting. that is ridiculous. >> steve: holding up signs with the phone number of north carolina representative israeli few shae, who is a democrat. >> ainsley: can they not arrest them? this has got to be illegal. >> steve: call and urge her to end the war. >> brian: don't they have

homework? wearing mask outside, again, continue to learn. >> steve: those aren't necessarily college kids. >> brian: they look like college kids or failed out of college. >> ainsley: how long did they back up traffic? >> steve: about an hour. >> lawrence: they have been letting them do this for years. the same people that shut down the cities in the summer of love and back i don't know now the same groups no justice no, peace. advocate for racial justice and then you have the jewish people that are being attacked 60% of the dime for hate crimes and you not stand for them. i don't understand how they have any legitimacy now. >> steve: and do you know what? given all those protests yesterday, tomorrow is going to be a gigantic one down in washington, d.c. they are going to absolutely shut down that town. it's a good thing it's not new york city. this is actually marathon weekend. that is the day on sunday when the streets are filled with people cheering. >> brian: october 7th launched this whole thing and no one is bringing october 7th. the israelis has got to continue

to do what they do and ignore all these ignorant people. >> ainsley: we are. in my neighborhood there are pictures everywhere of the kidnapped children. my daughter even at her age almost 8 years old is asking about this one little girl and i said we are praying for them. let's pray for all of them. >> brian: that's the mindset of these people, they steal children. >> steve: more on and this take you to blinken as soon as he shows up. still ahead a terrifying story along the border. a terrorism suspect caught sneaking into the united states illegally was released and roaming through the country two weeks before being taken back into custody. we will explain what happened. >> brian: crypto con man sam bankman-fried convicted of fraud he may spend 100 years in prison. let's hope. >> ainsley: sat down with jason aldean ahead the release of his ne my w album, which is out tod. but just ok isn't ok. and i was done settling.

ains parents of disgraced ftx do founder sam bankman-fried breaking down after the jury finds him guilty of all seven counts of fraud trial. >> lawrence: lawyers say the fight is far from over as he faces over 105 years behind bars. >> steve: 110 to be specific. alexandria hoff is live in the

nation's capital and is he in trouble. >> he sure is took the jury less than five hours of convicting him of all seven fraud and conspiracy charges. the 31-year-old's parents broke down into tears in the courtroom. yesterday even their son had been found guilty of stealing $10 billion from users of crypto exchange ftx misleading money to pay off debts and hedge fund. two counts of wire fraud and five related to conspiracy. tally that up and once billionaire poised to be crypto king now faces up to 110 years in prison. u.s. attorney dame man williams stated the following. sam bankman-fried perpetrated one of the biggest financial frauds in american history. this case has always been about lying, cheating, and stealing, we have no patience for it. we respect the jury's decision but very disappointed with the regards. mr. bankman-fried maintains his innocence and will vigorous now

bankrupt ftx at one time was worth a reported $32 billion. bankman-fried did take the stand in his own defense insisting that he did not defraud anyone. he did, though, struggle to recall transaction and business details during cross-examination. sentencing is scheduled for march 28th. that's the same month that bankman-fried is set to stand trial for allegedly conspiring to make hundreds of illegal political donations and that he is also accused of paying a $40 million bribe to chinese officials. steve, ainsley, brian, lawrence. >> ainsley: how did he spend all that money? >> steve: didn't very some sort of proposal he would give donald trump billions of dollars if he wouldn't run for president again? >> he had all kinds of political schemes running. i think right now a big concern the impact of which in the crypto community at large. there were so many investors not going to recoup their money, users, because ftx went bankrupt. this will have a ripple effect. we will see what comes from that political trial. >> ainsley: how do you spend that much money?

>> brian: i was talking with the bell for yesterday. i didn't spend other people's money i blew mine. this guy was unbelievable. $8 billion of other people's money without any conscience. >> ainsley: is there any left over? can some of them get. >> still looking for $1 billion out of this that bankman-fried could not find? so, because ftx went bankrupt, it's unlikely that anyone will be recouping. >> lawrence: he paid all these influencers, i think part of movement, alexandria is to get those influencers to pay that money back. >> steve: good luck. >> lawrence: influencers like nah, we are not doing that. >> ainsley: when this happened to madoff so many people lost everything. some people were so upset some committed suicide over it. >> brian: we don't hear much about the victims. >> this wasn't a kind of exchange that was on the black market or something that somebody found on reddit. this is something that was

talk to elm. this they don't have the time to vet these people. so, with this many people coming out, and then with the bulletin from the border patrol saying to watch out for hamas and hezbollah, and then a person being caught here that is a terrorist that was allowed to let in. we need to shut down the border, hit a reset. get a system that works that properly vets people before they come into the country, which we don't have right now. we're being overwhelmed, i think we need to shut this border down, hit reset, and get control of our border so we keep these bad people out and allow good people in. >> brian: right. why is it a partisan issue protecting the american people from people they don't know? and sealing the border? you have 230,941 migrant encounters in san diego sector in the face equal year 2023. i also find and we always go to this 2018 there was 6. now in fiscal year 2023, 169. and the middle east is on fire

right now. the relations with china has never been worse. and you know right now that chinese are pouring through the border. in numbers we haven't seen before. how come more people aren't alarmed about this in california we always get stories about texas and arizona. >> california, unfortunately, we are a sanctuary state thanks to governor newsom. and that -- so people don't hear being run by a democratic state, they don't want to talk out against the governor. they don't want to say bad things about people in their own party. but this is untenable. most of the electorate hopefully are seeing the fact how many people are being dropped off here. and one of the -- mainstream media newspapers here at san diego county said terrorism should not be a reason to shut down the border. i think it should be the main reason we shut down the border, especially if you said what is going on in the middle east.

the heightened aspects of people coming across here and the terrorists just knowing they can come across the border here in san diego county. we got to put an end to this and right now the answer from my democratic colleagues is just -- well, let's just spend more money. let's just spend more money on the migrants and letting them in. and that's crazy. i think, you know, we got to make safety number one. and i think the american people know that's what we got to do. >> brian: back to remain in mexico. jim a lot of democratic mayors have had it. put the sanctuary city on the ballot, perhaps. hopefully put san diego and maybe the state of california and let the people vote if they want to be a sanctuary state or not. jim desmond, sorry you are having a problem but i can't say i'm surprised. don't go anywhere we are standing by for secretary of state anthony blinken. is he supposed to walking through that door. meeting with the israeli president right now we will bring that you live. is he calling for a pause

>> steve: at this hour, u.s. drones are flying over gaza as hamas terrorists hold at least 240 innocent israelis hostage, including the family of our next guest. jar dan roman was kidnapped with her husband alawn and 3-year-old daughter. jumping from a car alan and green managed to escape but area dan and her sis sister-in-law remain missing area dan's mother-in-law was brutally murdered in a video posted by hamas. area dan's brother healey joins us in studio. >> good morning, thank you for having me. >> you don't know for sure that she is alive. >> no. we have a lot of signs in the israeli part of where she was probably taken. and by that we conclude that she is captured in gaza and held hostage but since we-since she is in the hands of the worst

people on the earth at the moment, we cannot know what her current state. >> steve: of course. and there she is right there with her family. gili, when you watch the live video our correspondent standing in israel. and see the bombs bursting in gaza city where your sister could be, when you see a bomb drop and a big plume of smoke what do you think. >> i do not watch a lot of news at the moment. very focused advocate for the hostages but i have a very deep trust in our military that, they are doing things call could you legislatively and carefully. so i believe that she is not hurt by our forces held we also know they are very valuable for hamas. >> i believe they're treating them well at the moment. of course i'm worried.

every single day is a worry and worry about this or that. >> your sister is essentially leverage for hamas to get something right now sees humanitarian pause to get aid into gaza and get people like your sister out. >> yeah. >> steve: does that sound like a good idea to you. >> that sounds like the nets step in my mind. we he have to save lives. it's -- there is nothing higher. even higher goal saving lives we're talking about 30 kids, mothers, elderly people. so if a pause is needed, this is what should be done. >> steve: you live in israel, you are here in the united states to make your sister's case to push for her release. when you and i know you are not watching a lot of tv now. seeing images of people in the united states and new york particularly pictures with your sister's image says hostage to bring awareness to the plight of

the israelis. then an hour later somebody comes down and rips them down. what do you think of that. >> it's appalling and heart breaking to see people have such inhumane approach. there is nothing wrong. there is nothing problematic with our desire to save people's live, innocent people's lives. i completely don't agree and cannot comprehend this behavior. i think people put themselves on the wrong side of history by doing this and i think that they don't understand we are all together. attack is not an attack on israel. it's an attack on the free world. the attack of islam. ripping poster they are just trying to tell us we are on the other side. i cannot accept it. it's horrible for me to know that you have to live in a country that people have this approach. i don't think it's acceptable. >> we are on your side. >> i know. >> steve: we hope that your sister is released promptly. gili roman, thank you very much

for joining us live. >> thank you. >> steve: good luck. all right, carley, you got some more news. >> carley: i certainly do. we are going to start in south carolina, steve. a manhunt is underway there for a driver who rammed their car into gates of a nuclear power plant last night. officials say man driving a toyota camry drove through the connie nuclear station when security responded he tried running them over before plowing through the temporary barricades fled the scene. shots were fired but it's not yet clear who fired them. security says the suspect was asked do leave the facility an hour before that incident took place. new york city mayor eric adams breaking his silence after the fbi raided the brooklyn home of his fundraising chief. agents are looking into kick back scheme involving adams campaign turkish government and the brooklyn construction company. telling abc news quote i feel extremely comfortable how i comply with rules and procedures. i hi hold my campaign to a high

>> steve: here on "fox & friends," we have been fans of jason aldean since the very beginning. remember this? >> she's country ♪ from a song she plays ♪ to the path she ♪ she was born and raised ♪ ain't afraid to say ♪ country. >> artist of the decade making headlines and topping charts try that in a small town. >> brian: one of those songs on his brand new album highway desperado out today. >> ainsley: we went down to florida to talk about jason aldean and meet with him and talk about his tour and his new album that we hope that you all purchase and download today because the music is awesome. >> brian: i have a question for you. did you tape anything? >> ainsley: we did. funny you should ask. >> brian: can we see? >> ainsley: right now.

>> ainsley: last night of your tour album comes out soon. >> yes. >> ainsley: they are all coming for you don't? >> it doesn't get old; ha. get to come out and i get to travel all over the country with some of my best friends and play music and songts we wrote. it's just for whatever reason people show up and it's been fun. >> the new al intum called highway despoor rad dough and also the name of our tour. i came up with this tour highway desperado. hey, man, this is actually a really cool song title, too. >> ainsley: what does that mean to you? >> i don't know. i just think for all of my adult life pretty much since i have been 18 years old everybody traveling around the country and

world now playing music living on the road. it's one of the coolest things we have done top to bottom songwise one of the best albums. >> ainsley: why is that? >> it's a different place. we are in a different place in life. when i was 28 and 29 years old we were cutting songs like hick town ♪ when we got the money. >> now it's like you have lived a little life. you know, you have seen things. you are a little more mature ♪ try that in a small town ♪ see how far you make it down the road. >> ainsley: try that in a small town so much controversy. what was your reaction to that? >> you know, to me man, this is a song that said what i wanted it to say and kind of how i felt about the state of things right now. why nobody in the music business will call that out, i don't understand. i think everybody on social media had kind of made their own

opinions about what the song was. it was this chatter going on on social media. and even in the mainstream media about what i was saying or what i might be saying. >> ainsley: what was it like when you sang it on stage right after all the controversy? >> i really didn't know what i was going to say or how i was going to approach that i got on stage that night and just kind of said whatever came to mind. >> i love my country. i love my family. and i will do anything to protect that. i can tell you that right now. [cheers] >> and so the reaction to it was the only way for me to explain is like explosive. the place went crazy. they were like hanging on every word that we were saying ♪ try that in a small town [cheers] >> i think right then is when i realized, okay, they get it. like they get the song. there is always going to be people that try to make something out of nothing. that's just the culture we live in. i get that but, if you're really listening to a song, you get

where i'm coming from. it's not about race, it's not about any of those things. i think people of all races are tired of dealing with this crap that's going on right now. do you know what i mean? it wasn't directed at one particular person, even though that's what they tried to make it seem like. >> ainsley: were you surprised when cmt stopped airing it? >> not really. i mean, you know it's their prerogative to do it. it's odd they were going to make an announcement. just don't play it if you don't want to play it. i don't understand the announcement that had to be made about it. that is really what stoked the video and got people to see what's going on and why would they do that? then the video took off. >> ainsley: so cool though because it was number one right after that. on the hot 100 charts. you were number one, morgan wallen number two, and leukemia luke colmes.country music 1, 2 .

>> those are things you can't plan for this. is a song we put out i had no idea. i thought the song was cool and something that i thought my fans would get, they would like the song understand. i didn't expect things to take off in the video and take off the way did. that was unexpected. ♪ >> ainsley: out of everything, all the accomplishments, what's your gave split what means the most? >> i think longevity, really. the fact that my first single came out in 2005. and, you know, would he didn't have social media, we didn't have all these ways to get your career up and running like these guys do now. we had to go out and do it grassroots style. we had to play every little bar, every little festival, every little everything. to build it to this and we were able to do that and been able to sustain it for this long and still went out this many later and selling ou
