>> steve: good morning, everybody. 7:00 here on the couch in new york city. brian is off today. thanks for joining us on this very busy monday, september 23rd, 2024. the this is "fox & friends." and let's take a live look right now at beirut, lebanon. where israel is urging evacuations of people there get out because the idf has already hit more than 300 targets there. israel's former u.n. ambassador sounding the alarm one hour ago. >> filed win this war. this is definitely going to inspire all the radical jihadists all around the world. >> steve: that sounds good. a live report from tel aviv and insight from a former idf spokesperson coming up in moments. >> lawrence: plus, biden's weekend was full of gaffes after the first lady's take the reins

at his cabinet meeting. who is in charge of the country right now. >> ainsley: actress and activist patricia heaton joins us live this hour. plus, i have a very special announcement today, so stay tuned for that it's coming up. >> steve: give us a hint. >> ainsley: you have to wait. "fox & friends" starts right now. >> lawrence: fox news alert right now the idf is striking hundreds of targets in lebanon after the iranian backed terror group launches more than 100 rockets into northern israel overnight. >> steve: israel's president says they are not seeking war but will continue to defend themselves. >> ainsley: nate foy is in tel aviv with all the details for us. nate? >> nate: hey, guys, good morning. for a fourth straight day massive airstrikes are happening right now in southern lebanon where we are learning in the past hour, according to the idf, hezbollah has fired into northern israel 35 times. so far today, the idf has hit

300 hezbollah positions and counting. take a look at new video of some of those strikes this morning. the idf is focusing on hezbollah-launching positions and weapons facilities. israel is also now putting out messages in arabic telling residents in southern lebanon to evacuate. here's idf spokesman daniel hagari this morning. >> we invite civilians from lebanese villages located in and next to buildings and areas used by hezbollah for military purpose, such as those used to store weapons to immediately move out of harm's way for their own safety. >> i will tell you what, a massive threat narrowly avoided this morning. the idf released this video of pilots -- israeli pilots noticing a cruise missile about to be fired from a home in southern lebanon. israel took out the terrorist before they could fire it. the idf says it was a dr 3 cruise missile with a 660-pound

war head attached to it. now, israel couldn't stop all of hezbollah's attacks. take a look at this next video. a direct hit in the north caused massive damage. in total, five people are hurt in northern israel as a result of this morning's strikes. now, israel is taking fire not only from its north, in lebanon, but also from its east. the almost resistance in iraq claims that it targeted israel with several drone attacks, none of them appear to have reached their target, former israeli ambassador gilader dan told "fox & friends" last hour the stakes in this war could not be higher israel failed to win this war this is going to inspire all the radical jihadists all around the world. we see them chanting in your streets, in america. >> so far this morning, according to lebanon's health ministry, at least 50 people have been killed in 300 injured in the airstrikes lebanon.

those figures do not differentiate between civilians and hezbollah terrorists. we will send it back to you. >> steve: nate foy live in israel with the very latest. now, let's be joined by former idf spokesperson jonathan. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> steve: as nate foy was just talking about. apparently, through surveillance, the idf was i have a to say. they just launched a cruise missile out of somebody's house. you don't see that every day. >> no. you don't. but in the coming days i will think you will see it more and more. that is the mode disoperandi of hezbollah. that is what they have prepared for many years. southern lebanon and many parts of central lebanon and the southern parts of beirut, the so-called -- controlled area. these areas are literally full of their locations where hezbollah hides weapons inside. what appears to be civilian

houses. and can i assure you that when one cnn other networks film it will look like civilian houses again nobody will know that inside weapons were stored and they were fired against israel. but, what really is happening here at the big level is that israel wants civilians to leave their homes. israel is presenting hezbollah with a very simple choice. it's either delink yourself from the situation in gaza and decide not to continue to do the dirty work of the islam republic of iran. or protect and ensure the future stability of lebanon. you can't have both things. you can't continue to be with iran and have a safe lebanon because, if you continue to fire rockets at israel, that will come at a catastrophic cost for lebanon. we're not there yet. we're still messaging. and this is still on the brink.

i don't think that neither israel nor hezbollah have crossed that brink yesterday yet. but we are getting very, very close. >> lawrence: colonel, in your former capacity. you have to be the diplomat, right? you are religion the military as well as representing the government. as we look at live shots this morning it. looks like the middle east is on fire right now. what does this mean for america? you have election coming up. administration asked for restraint from israel. you have got kamala harris who wants to be the next president who is asking for more restraint if an american president and kamala harris is elected, what is that going to mean for israel? >> i think that what our current situation now means for america is that america's most loyal ally in the middle east, that defends democracy and western values, that act north to enhance america's global standing, and its regional

power. that ally, israel, may be at the cusp of war. which will be a very, very difficult war for israel to fight. it will be a war that israel will defeat its enemy. but it will be different from what we have had against hamas, because hezbollah is way more powerful whether it comes to weapons capabilities, and personnel. and the consequences for israel will be dire. the consequences for the region will be very severe. and i think that from a simple american perspective, it will be an american ally fighting against a terrorist organization and against an enemy of america. which is iran. and i am confident as an israeli, i'm confident that this time again america will stand by israel, whoever is elected, america will stand by israel because israel fights for democracy and freedom. against the powers of evil. >> ainsley: all of us support israel. we are pro-israel. it's the holy land.

and you're seeing these images. we are praying for you all. i hope that we can prevent an all out war. and i hope that's not where we are heading. colonel, thank you so much for coming on with us. >> thank you for having me and have a good morning. >> god bless you. >> steve: indeed. live pictures out of beirut. >> ainsley: with the beach. you normally see images of the beach and supposed to be a place for family and fun. >> steve: it's the mediterranean right there. meanwhile, president biden is heading here to new york city today for the united nations general assembly, also known as unga around here. after appearing to have another gaffe on the world stage. >> ainsley: peter doocy is live on the white house for us. >> peter: white house officials insisted there would be little, little press conch of president biden's meetings over the weekend with the leaders of japan and india and australia. and the little bit that the press pool was allowed to attend got kind of awkward. >> i want to thank you all for being here and now -- who am i

introducing next? who is next? distinguished guests, the prime minister of the republic of india. >> peter: you can see in that clip, prime minister modi was sitting right behind president biden the whole time. it's unclear why that part of the program was so confusing although it is worth pointing out. the advanced stamps who have helped president biden at events like this over the years have moved onto the harris campaign to help the vice president. there is just one president at a time. that's why it's notable that both biden and vp harris are conducting their own diplomacy this week. they are hold going hold separate meetings with the united arab emirates president. we saw that when netanyahu came to the white house a few months ago. they had two different meetings. the vice president chose to take a harder line with him, netanyahu than president biden

did. and the vice president is going to skip the event at the u.n. general assembly. president biden will get one more chance in new york city on the east side to be the solo headliner of that event. but the big thing that he has been talking about for months that he wants to have sown up by the end of his administration is a cease fiber in israel with gaza and -- rather with hamas and with hezbollah, appears to be less likely by the day as evidence in that report right before us. >> ainsley: was the prime minister of india and japan and australia. they had to go to wilmington, delaware to a hotel there. why -- normally these events are held at the white house. it's an annual meeting. why do d. they have to go to the president? why didn't they do this in the white house? >> peter: no idea. there were many questions about that at briefings over the last couple days. reporters have just been told oh well president biden wants to show these guys where he grew up and all politics is personal. and some of the big events with

these guys who flew from these complete other side of the world were at president biden's high school where he -- it's not a regular place that high level diplomacy happens and it's not a place that they have gone while he has been president. but it's something that they wanted to squeeze in with the last four months for some reason. probably -- it would seem just convenience for president biden. >> steve: probably. peter, have you followed and been with joe biden for almost six years now. and for him to bark out that who's next? >> lawrence: he was angry. >> steve: have you seen him upclose better than anybody at this channel. some have suggested it's cognitive decline. others would probably try to defend the president just say well, he didn't know what was going on. was it a stage management thing or something bigger? >> peter: it's -- based on how i know these events go, it is probably said on a piece of paper right in front of him who was next. and he just was not consulting

it. but, the thing is, if he shouted out whoens next? there is no one with the authority in the chain of command to yell out the action of a president in that situation. i'm sure somebody was just telling him look down. >> ainsley: are you hearing that other world leaders are told in advance just protect him because we have seen this in the past? was it the g-7 when a leader had to come over and pull him back over. we saw. >> steve: nato. >> ainsley: exactly. are they being told you know, try to protect him and makes a look as good as possible? >> peter: haven't heard that specifically, but it does seem like these leaders are coming to the u.s. with the understanding this is a biden farewell tour. and they have to figure out what it means for their country if vice president harris wins or if former president trump wins in a couple months. >> steve: who is next? peter, you're done. who is next? >> lawrence: i'm sorry, just to wrap this up, thanks, peter, we just showed you live images of

what is happening internationally. and to have a commander-in-chief that the indian prime minister is having to save him. he is barking out whose next and as peter says protocol right in front of him and he didn't know. that is just troubling. this is a person that is over our military infrastructure and what we're supposed to do next and that our allies are asking us will you have our back? what is the next move? you know, we got intel assets all over the world now that he is responsible for their safety. and he doesn't know whose ne k . >> ainsley: he still has four more months left. >> steve: to peter's point, joe biden right now is really mad at israel. because he has wanted israel to wrap up what is going on with hamas for six months. it keeps going.

and in fact we have heard through reporting that jill biden has said very adamantly, wrap things up. but it just lingers and it's getting bigger we have two nuggets. one, it sundays like kamala harris is not going to go to the al smith dinner over at the waldorf his tore i can't. presidential candidates have been go going to it for a very g time. walter mondale ducked the event in 1994. other thing regarding jill biden say being we got to wrap this up maybe she is saying that because she is running the country. >> ainsley: she was at the cabinet meetings on friday. she was at the head of the table. here is a picture of her. i was watching "fox & friends weekend." and turn on the tv and i see her at the end of the table. i'm like where is he? why isn't he at this meeting? >> steve: there she is. >> lawrence: miranda devine writes who exactly is running the country? certainly appears to be jill biden and not joe biden it. goes to the overall question who

is running things and why hasn't it not been asked about the concealment of joe biden. everybody saw what happened on the debate stage. that was almost a revelation to people that hadn't been plugged in to mainstream media, that haven't -- because they hadn't been reporting on the story. if you haven't been watching fox. there has been no question to kamala harris on any of the interviews that she has done thus far. not with oprah. not with abc. it was definitely not focused on the debated stage. none of the cabinet members when they go on the sunday shows are asked about what is going on in the white house? there was a previous reporting done that the cabinet meetings were scripted. and that questions have to be presubmitted and now jill biden. >> steve: from the secretaries. >> lawrence: from the secretaries so they can have this well-coordinated. >> steve: looks like jill biden is on the middle of the table. >> ainsley: i didn't see that i didn't know he was there. >> steve: down at the end his wife the first lady doing all the talking. it looks essentially like she is the voice of translator.

okay. joe is nodding, let me tell you what the president thinks which is really what she says. that he was the thee sills of miranda devine's op-ed today in the "new york post." check it out ny post.com. she goes on to say whether it's jill or somebody else running the country, the bottom line is we don't have a functional president. this is a constitutional crisis. kamala harris is most to blame because she has the constitutional duty as vice president to ensure the president's brain is not awol. she also knows more about biden's cognitive health than anyone apart from jill and hunter biden. she has lunch with him regularly and often has boasted being the last person in the room when decisions are made. but she has been lying through her teeth to the american people about our president. >> lawrence: it makes me wonder, ainsley, all the reporting that came after the debate of all the mainstream media, they started reporting on it suddenly after what we saw in the debate. they were telling us what was happening in the room. all of that reporting has

stopped. joe biden is still there the moment they took him off the ticket, they stopped the reporting. >> ainsley: they don't care anymore. >> lawrence: was that the goal? it wasn't about transparency? it wasn't finally letting the american public know what was happening? was it just to get joe biden off the ticket? so now that you guys have kamala harris at the top of the ticket, you guys don't want to cover this anymore? >> ainsley: well, i think that since he is not running anymore and he is not the candidate. i don't know if they really care when he says whose next at the e podium. they used to worry how the optics were going to play out for the election. now they don't have to worry about that. miranda devine says in her article points out we do have four more years with him being our president. >> steve: months. >> ainsley: four months, yeah. sorry. should not be fate of the man can't remember where he is and what is he doing at any given moment. >> steve: think about it, if miranda devine got her wish joe biden would be replaced

immediately unfortunately little for the republicans it would be by kamala harris. then the vice president would become president and essentially would be an incumbent running for re-election. and that, would as we have heard from the experts, give her an advantage. >> ainsley: maybe not though. she would have to speak more. >> steve: well, she would. but just electorally, it would help her. >> lawrence: and i get your point of view. a lot of republicans share that point of view. but the issue frankly should not be political. basic functioning government. and i don't understand how we have been lectured about, you know, throats democracy. and the person that is supposed to protect our republic, who is supposed to be at the top of it cannot do it and everyone knows it. we are suppose to do so pretend like the country can just be on autopilot for four months when everything is happening when it comes to the economy and then international relations. okay, maybe the staff can help us get along for certain things. but, when it comes to where we stand on the world stage, you

can't depend on the staff to do it. >> ainsley: true. all right, it's 19 minutes after the top of the hour. here is more headlines starting with a fox news alert. a north carolina police officer is in serious condition after being shot while attempting to make a traffic stop in charlotte last night. police say the suspect pulled out a gun and opened fire on the officers who pulled him over, striking ther? several times. the suspect was also shot during the exchange. chicago gang members are fuming over the arrival of venezuelan gang members in their city. one former gang member who now runs a violence prevention program is warning, quote: when the black gangs here get fed up with the criminal activities of these migrants or non-citizens, the city of chicago is going to go up in flames. there will be nothing the national guard or the government can do about it when the blood shed hits the streets. it will be blacks against migrants. >> lawrence: already starting. >> ainsley: check out this wild

video. the east coast is looking more like the wild west after a herd of bulls. >> steve: look at that. >> ainsley: escaped a rodeo in massachusetts. >> steve: there goes the show. >> ainsley: crashing through a fence and taking out spectators in the process. it happened about 40 minutes south of boston. they are like we are out of here. seven of the 8 bowls were quickly caught. one is still on the loose can you imagine you look out the window and there is in your backyard. thankfully, nobody was injured. they want to get away. and those are your headlines. >> steve: that is a lot of bull. just saying. a lot of bull. >> ainsley: it's kind of cute. >> lawrence: horns were shaved. >> ainsley: what does that mean? >> lawrence: they will poke you. they can stab you. at least they were sowed. >> steve: people performers got worry about the row rodeo clowns. folks if you slept another hour and didn't have your dvr

running, you would have missed that so, please, make sure you set your dvr so you record our program each and every day. in the meantime today the man accused of trying to secretary former donald trump in last week in miami beach will be back in court on gun charges. >> senator cassidy on what congress plans to do to make sure all candidates have enoughi protection. ♪nancia atever they may be. all that planning has paid off. looks like you can make this work. we can make this work. and the feeling of confidence that comes from our advice... i can make this work. that seems to be universal. i can make this work. i can make this work. no wonder more than 9 out of 10 clients are likely to recommend us. because advice worth listening to is advice worth talking about. ameriprise financial. nice to meet ya. my name is david. i've been a pharmacist for 44 years. when i have customers come in and ask for something for memory, i recommend prevagen.

>> steve: all right. a fox news alert. this morning, that man pictured screen left right there, the suspect in the second trump assassination attempt ryan routh due in court on federal gun charges. it comes as congress unanimously on friday, the house that is, comes as the house ramping up security for the presidential candidates. what can we expect in the senate when it crosses the chambers? our next guest has been calling for president trump to have more protection. republican senator from the great state of louisiana, bill cassidy joins us right now. bill, good morning to you. >> good morning, steve, how are you, man? >> steve: i'm doing okay. so, within a period of a couple of months, you got these two attempts on the former president's life. one almost got him and the other one, thank goodness, there was a very vigilant secret service agent about one golf hole ahead of him, probably saved his life. this is unacceptable.

>> yeah. it can't become the new normal. so then you have to think how do we stop it from becoming the new normal? i like the fact that the house voted for to more money. i sent a letter to joe biden along with others, asking him to exsend to trump and any presidential candidate at this stage, the same protection that he gets. lastly, the full weight of the law has to come down on ryan routh. he has got to be put away forever. and as someone thinks is he going to go down in history like some whatever, boom, you never hear about this guy again. and the full weight of the law has to come down on him but this cannot become the new normal. >> steve: sounds like the secret service guy was doing his job patrolling and making sure there is nothing along in the tree line, and he saw what he thought was a homeless guy there. in a pink t-shirt. is he went over and then he got the gun. right now he is only charged with gun violations, which could

keep him in prison for over 20 years if maxed out. but, because he didn't point it at the president directly, because the president wasn't within range, he might not get charged with that. >> you know, just to play a point, it sounds like a duck, walks like a duck, it is a duck, if it looks like an assassin and sounds like assassin is he is an assassin. put him away at his age is he coming out of prison old man that may serve the same purpose. >> the full weight of the law has to land on this guy. can note become the new normal it. cannot be tolerated. >> let's see what the feds come up with. in the meantime donald trump was talking to our own bill melugin, has he an interesting idea on how to fund these mass deportations that he has been talking about out on the campaign trail. senator, listen to this. >> i will take it out of the

military because this is an invasion. if you remember, build hundreds of miles of wall. much of it i built through the military. i took it out because i considered it an invasion of our country. and i will do it through the military if i have to. >> steve: so, senator, what do you think about that? essentially the money to deport the migrants who were in the country illegally, would come from the pentagon. >> well, first, i think you can get that money otherwise. obama used to kick people out of the country. and so, the dollars are there to move people out. if he can do it from the military. i don't know if that's legal. i just don't. but, on the other hand, i do know the dollars are there when obama did it sent a signal to people coming here illegally don't waste your money. you're going back home. if the president wishes to pursue that, again, i think it would be funded. >> steve: all right. let's see what happens. bill cassidy, senator from the great state of louisiana, sir, thank you very much for joining

us live. >> thank you. >> steve: you bet. all right. coming up on this monday, actress and activist patricia heaton is going to join us live but first, one fast growing weight loss drug could have the potential to cut healthcare costs in unexpected ways. dr. marc siegel is going to explain. it's medical monday and he is coming up next. ♪ ♪ jen x. jen y. and jen z. each planning their future through the chase mobile app. jen x is planning a summer in portugal with some help from j.p. morgan wealth plan. let's go whiskers. jen y is working with a banker to budget for her birthday. you only turn 30 once. and jen z? her credit's golden. hello new apartment. three jens getting ahead with chase. solutions that grow with you. one bank for now. for later. for life. chase. make more of what's yours.

statistics. an independent study of the nhs found 1.75 million people are waiting between 6 and 12 months for hospital services. another 2 million are waiting for community and mental health services. that's despite over $5,000 being spent per person under nhs conch. fox news senior medical analyst dr. marc siegel says this is a big warning sign for america's healthcare system and he joins us now to explain. hey, dr. siegel. >> dr. siegel: ainsley, great to see you. >> ainsley: kamala harris says she wants to get rid of our private healthcare system. she wants a universal system for awful america. is this a warning for us? is this what it would look like. >> this is a huge warning for us. the national health service started it in 1948 great idea to take care of everyone in england is broken and it's broken. we are talking about 8 million people there waiting for healthcare. get. this 40% of them are waiting nor man 18 weeks. how could you wait 18 weeks if you are having a heart problem.

if you have an infection? how can you wait? is and even here in the united states again, this is a warning sign, 26% of people here in the u.s. are waiting more than two months for their healthcare already. and even people that are getting it from their employer are waiting. now, why are people waiting? the first problem is that kamala harris and others are talking about conch all the time, ainsley. conch doesn't mean care. necessarily. you got conch. you quote your insurance. maybe you got public insurance, almost 50% of the u.s. already have medicare or medicaid. do you have a doctor? do you have access to the care you need? that's the question and that's obscured and we are heading towards a time of personalized solutions, which are very exciting but they are expensive. >> ainsley: what about our problem with illegal immigrants taking up services. kamala wants to pay for their heck. if we see that in america that's going to delay american citizens from getting into to see their

doctors. >> i actually interviewed people down in texas around the border a couple years ago. now, of course, it's spread to all the other cities where the illegal migrants have gone. homeless on the streets with illnesses that are spread. flooding the emergency rooms. that's going to be a greater and greater problem. whether you give them health insurance or not. if you give them health insurance, that breaks the bank. >> ainsley: what about wegovy? we hear about medicines people are taking helping with weight loss. wegovy is one of them. i hear it's shrinking our surgery costs? is it that a fact and why is that? >> i think it's a really, really important point that nobody is talking about. you know what we used to say before we send somebody for weight loss surgery? after the surgery it will increase your glp 1 hormone. guess what these drugs do, the same thing. guess what exercise and weight loss does in the same thing. if you lose weight, those hormones go up. you can do it naturally. can you do it through lifestyle changes. but if you are asking me whether i would rather do it through an injection vs. a surgery of course i would take the injection. so i think these are miracle

drugs. but they are also being overprescribed. it should be doctors who know what they're doing that talk to patients as always and decide whether it's the right solution or not. but surgery is down 30% as a result of this. and that is a good thing. >> ainsley: that is a good thing. dr. siegel, thanks for coming in this morning. >> good to see you on "medical monday." >> ainsley: feisty show debra on everyone loves raymond. >> cleaning is cleaning. >> you think. so.

nonprofit october 7th coalition. a network of christians standing in support of jews and against still. >> steve: patricia heaton joins us now on the curvey couch in new york city. >> i love the curvey couch. >> steve: we love you. >> thank you. >> steve: we know what happened on october 7th. you have started this movement now, this new idea this new organization because of inactivity. >> yes. you know, my dad served in world war ii. we grew up with shows like the hiding place about corey ten boom and the holocaust with earl wood and james. we knew nazis are bad. focusing on jewish people is terrible. when october 7th happened and i saw it happening all over again, this time we come off body cam food damage proudly putting it on social media. i couldn't believe my eyes. and not only that, about 48 hours later, campuses exploded

with pro-hamas protests and making israel the bad guy and making jewish people the bad guy. i couldn't believe it. i was outraged. i looked around for everyone else who was going to be outraged i assumed because this is terrible. it was very silent. so my partner and i created the october 7th coalition or o 7 c to help christians ach activateo be as visibly and vocally to be of focused on still as the other side was. those protests were very organized. those protesters printed and ready to go for a long time. this has been in the works for awhile. we needed to step up and be as vocals and visible as the other side. >> ainsley: my family were watching the chosen. in every scene when they are entering into their houses they kissed the -- tell us the significance of that and what your is today. >> the mazuza is this beautiful little container that has a prayer that honors god and blesses your household. and jewish people put it on the

door frame of their door as they were commanded. to say and it's been a tradition. >> steve: that's what you are doing right there. >> there i am putting it on my door. october 7th coalition is starting a campaign. myzuzah, your zuzah. a spartacus moment. jewish students at college campuses have in a myzuzah have been ripped off and vandalized and smashed. we have to stand up for the jewish people and for their right to exist. their right to be jewish and practice their faith. that's what we have been working on. we are launching today my zuzah, your zuzah. go to my zuzah.org. say my zuzah, your zuzah. stand up together. >> lawrence: what's the support like amongst your colleagues? seems like there has been a popular view is just to think of the children that are in gaza

and even us that support israel we think about the children. we realize that hamas is using the children as human shields. have your colleagues been supportive of this cause that you are having right now? >> nobody wants war nobody wants kids to die. that's not the point. the point is hamas has started all of this. hamas is using their own people ar dultsd and children as shields. they are putting them in front as fodder. and so, i think my community in hollywood think more with their hearts and when they hear that people are losing their lives. they get very upset as we all are but the solution to it is not for israel to do a cease-fire, it's for hamas to release the hostages. put down their arms and hamas is a terrorist organization. it's not a legitimate government. they need to be out of business. >> steve: absolutely. so let me ask you about this. you mentioned a moment ago. what we saw on america's

campuses last spring. we're seeing it again. and you know, when you were setting up what you're doing, you talked, about you know, in the old days we knew hot bad guys were. >> yes. >> how come some young people are on the side of the bad guys? >> the universities have been taking billions of dollars from qatar and other places and putting professors in who are very anti-israel. and students, you know, they are in the formative stage. they want their lives to have meaning. they want to be fighting for a great cause. and, unfortunately, their mind has been twisted and propagandized to believe that being pro-hamas is somehow helping people. when they are throwing gay people off of buildings, they are suppressing women. marrying young girls off to old men. it's the worst philosophy you could run a country by. >> ainsley: we have watched you

for decades. you are so funny. you are an actress. you are a mother to to four boys. >> yep. >> ainsley: your faith is extremely important to you. you moved to nashville. tell us about that experience and how you became so strong in your faith? >> you know, i'm catholic. my grandmother had 15 kids with catholic mother of the year for the united states. got a medal from the pope. >> ainsley: really? >> yeah. i have a hundred first cousins on my mom's side of the family all 15 had between 5 and 10 kids. that's been part of me growing up. i think when october 7th happened, this one scripture from paul to the ephesians came into my mind. put on the full armor of god so that when the day of evil comes, you do everything you can to stand and after have you done everything, stand. and my partner and i -- this is our motto for august 7th octobeh coalition. standing for people. standing for christianity. judeo-christian principles, for

freedom and everything we hold dear and people spilled their blood for that's what we stand for. >> we had an opportunity to meet before we got on camera. i asked you i go what about the opportunities? are you concerned about missed opportunities? and you said i can't be can you explain to our audience why standing boldly matters more to you than the opportunities that may or may not come your way as a result of your positions? >> you know, god really is in charge of my career. so far he has given me two incredibly well written beautifully produced award-winning tv shows that each went for nine years. i got some emmys and i have a star on the walk of fame. i'm just saying. >> steve: sounds like bragging. >> a little bit. >> ainsley: you are bragging what god has done in your life. >> i trust him because he has not failed me yet. >> steve: what's interesting is as a practicing catholic, what you are doing is you are

essentially activating christians. >> yeah. >> steve: you told one of our producers surprisingly the christian community, churches and pastors have been far too silent about what happened on october 7th. >> well, what is interesting, is most christians, especially evangelicals, they have all been to israel. they love israel. they don't know their jewish neighbors at home. and they also -- some people feel awkward. they just don't know what to do. after october 7th happened, i texted all my jewish friends and said how are you doing? they said terribly and you are the only person that has asked us. i think people don't know that that means something to your jewish friends. and so, that's why we started october 7th coalition. so we create opportunities for christians to come out and support their jewish neighbors with unit d unity dinners. dinner nova exhibit now in los angeles. we sold that out. we have had between 250 and 500 people come to our dinners to meet our jewish neighbors to be

together. we brought israeli musicians over who just finished their idf services and produced their music in nashville. called the prom mission sessions go. to promise sessions.com and listen to their music. we are trying to integrate our communities been sort of siloed for too long. >> steve: today you are launching this campaign. we had a graphic. we put it up a moment ago. this is how you can help her. take your video of you put up of myzuzah like you saw right there. and post your video and write your message myzuzah your zuzah. go to o 7 c.org or october 7th coalition.com. why should people do that today? >> we want to get your information and then we will reach out to you, especially if you are a pastor if you would like us to come to your church and organize a unity event for education and fellowship and unity. so when you sign up, you will

get all our information. >> lawrence: such a great cause. >> ainsley: what's been the response? >> it's been wonderful. people really want to do something, they really do. we are just happy to serve and create a space where we can all come together and fight for the things that we all believe in. >> ainsley: i am so in love with you. this is incredible, y'all. all say prayers for her and her mission she clearly loves everybody. >> steve: everybody loves patricia heaton. >> thank you. >> ainsley: what a joy to meet you. >> thanks for having me.ir. >> lawrence: more "fox & friends" coming up. ♪fres e hose. inspire? inspire is a sleep apnea treatment that works inside my body with a click of this button. no mask! no hose! just sleep. give me this thing. where are you going? i'm going to get inspire. inspire. sleep apnea innovation. learn more and view important safety information at inspiresleep.com.
