>> lawrence: serious? >> steve: you are sitting at the al smith dinner with pants that are stapled. >> brian: that's my friends and family there. they all had one goal, trump's cool but cardinal dolan is better. >> lawrence: brian, i'm going with you next year. a permanent one. no more rental. >> brian: these are some of the angles i tried to give you from the dais. >> ainsley: that's the blonde lady in charge i met her last night. >> brian: john marist insisted on signatures next to me i said all right. >> ainsley: what are you all talking about when you are up there. >> brian: everyone was talking about me. no kidding. it's just fun because one year i sat next to chuck schumer. and he just yelled at me the whole time. kind of yeah yelled back. it was very intense. >> steve: speaking of chuck schumer, donald trump last night was very gracious. he called chuck schumer a good man. he called the democrat governor of new york state kathy hochul, said you are doing a good job.

not easy but you are doing all right. he said. there was a wide range of jokes and other comments. and if you missed it, here's a little taste of what former president said last night right here in midtown, manhattan. >> catholic church helping the poor, educating children and supporting the vulnerable. but if you really wanted vice president harris to accept your invitation, i geles you should have told her the funds were going to bail out the looters and rioters in minneapolis and she would have been here, guaranteed she would have been here. garnghted. it's a true pleasure to be with you this evening. amazing pleasure. these days it's really a pleasure. anywhere in new york without a subpoena for my appearance. [laughter] be any time i don't get a subpoena i'm very happy.

but, unfortunately, governor walz isn't here himself but don't worry, he'll say that he was. he is going to say -- [laughter] but i have to be careful, however, to understand that this will be the first time in the history of this event where jokes will be fact checked and they will be. all polls are indicating i'm leading big with the catholic vote as i should be. as i should be. [cheers] but i don't think kamala has given up yet. she hasn't instead of attending tonight in michigan receiving communion from gretchen whitmer. [laughter] i didn't like biden very much and now i like him quite a bit, you know. [laughter] and now i say that she is much worse than him. evidence was votes coming very strong a certain way. i won't tell you what way that is, but chuck schumer is here

looking very glum. doesn't he look lovely? glum. but look on the bright side, chuck, considering how woke your party has become, if kamala loses, you still have a chance to become the first woman president. >> steve: watching chuck schumer and chuck schumer is down in the corner right above the "fox & friends" logo right there. he was pretty much -- any time there was a joke at kamala harris' expense, just like that. but some of the other stuff he kind of broke a smile. i will tell you by the way. >> brian: how great is martha mccallum? >> ainsley: in the back and so is maria. >> brian: maria bartiromo to the left. >> steve: martha mccallum is in every shot because she is directly behind the speaker. >> they loved mayor bloomberg some people said they want you to run again everyone cheered. when bill de blasio walked out he was the only one on the dais

that was booed. >> lawrence: funny event. people had a good time. wonder wife she would skip something thou lay up to galvanize people. >> didn't her video bomb? it was the worst thing ever. >> ainsley: it was not appropriate. it was -- well, the actress from "saturday night live." >> brian: mocked catholics. >> ainsley: what did you think of that? >> brian: totally bombed. probably at least half the room are democrats. they were just looking at each other, not funny, awkward, weird. if you are trying to be funny show up. you blew it by not showing up. >> steve: we got a clip. here is kamala harris and mollie shannon playing that catholic school girl character mary katharine gallagher. i think we're going to play it right here. >> brian: please don't put us through this again. >> just so you know there will be a fact-checker there tonight.

>> oh, that's great, who? >> jesus. and maybe don't say anything negative about catholics. >> carley: i would never do that no matter where i was that would be like criticizing detroit in detroit. >> does it bother you that that trump guy insults you all the time because it bothers my friends and me. >> mary katharine it's very important to always remember you shouldn't let anyone tell you who you are. you tell them how are. >> steve: had she been, there had they done that in person you could have heard the laughter it was video no laughter. >> ainsley: there was no laughter. half the room is probably voting for her. i will tell you what i noticed oh my gosh, brian kilmeade, maria, martha, cardinal dolan, president trump and melania, honestly. oh my gosh here is the owner of home depot keith langone and wood j johnson who owns the jets. you are sitting next to the owner of the giants. robert kraft, all the former

mayors of new york. it was like wow, this is such a big deal. she is missing an opportunity. >> steve: political elite, business leaders and catholic luminaries. kamala harris is the first candidate to miss since walter mondale in 1992. however, and i did not know this fact. i saw in this morning no. presidential candidate showed up in 1992, 1996, or 2004. >> ainsley: and the president -- president trump did make a reference to that. he said well, you know, mondale, he was expected to do well. it didn't work out. it shows you there is a god. he kind of referenced. remember when he was like i wouldn't miss this for the world. it kind of demeans the man upstairs. >> brian: jim is one of the funniest comedians around he was fantastic. here is gaffigan just being an equal opportunity offender.

>> you know, looking at this impressive dais of attendees up here, i never know how to address you people. do you prefer, you know, global elite or coastal elite? you know, you are all thinking about it, let me just cut to the pointed and point out who is not here. and, of course, i'm talking about the middle class. [laughter] that filthy group of people. right, chuck? do you know what i'm talking about? because if i am too critical of president -- of vice president harris, i will, you know, i will lose friendships. and, you know, and mess up my career. and if i am too critical of president trump, i will lose friendships and improve my career. [laughter] one group that baffles me, and i think it baffles most everyone

in this country. and i'm talking about the undecided voter. are you kidding me? [laughter] i mean, are you kidding me? you don't know who you're voting for? you don't see a difference between kamala harris and donald trump? like nobody has ever thought, wait, is that a trump quote or a harris quote? this is a room for of catholics and jews in new york city. this is lay up for the democratic nominee in her defense she did find time to appear on "the view," howard stern, colbert, and the long-time staple of campaigning the "call her daddy" podcast.

president biden couldn't be here tonight. the dnc made sure of that. [laughter] $10 million is pretty impressive. do you know what i mean? granted it could get you a studio apartment in manhattan which seems, you know, expensive, especially considering you can get a mayor for two business class flights. '. >> steve: a joke about the mayor and how much he loved turkey. >> steve: how about mayor showing up. >> steve: he left immediately after president trump. >> brian: didn't act like he had a care in the world. sitting there taking pictures. >> ainsley: i got the feeling 5m and supported him. donald trump kept saying as soon as you said something about biden i knew you were getting subpoenaed. >> steve: there he is. >> lawrence: jim definitely went against both sides. that was the appeal last night. everybody loved the performance

because he was equal opportunity as you said. >> steve: would have loved to have heard that conversation. >> brian: mike ricter was there. >> ainsley: r.f.k. jr. had his arm around cheryl the whole time which was really nice. the president also mentioned him and talked about how healthy he is and what he wants to do for our country when it comes to our food. >> brian: cale and casey mears were there who have the number two book in the country after melania. >> steve: key was donald trump was there. key speaker. the former president is going to be here in the middle of the curvey couch. >> he must be a special guest because he is getting the middle of the couch. >> steve: he has the really good lighting here in "studio m." so thank you very much for joining us e is going to be with us and we are going to be playing a bunch of your video questions that you submitted to us. >> brian: ainsley, you are giving up your lighting? you are giving up your lighting? >> ainsley: for trump i will. i would give it up for kamala if she would come in, too.

>> lawrence: does the heater stay or go? >> ainsley: i think we probably should put that away. i don't want to do anything to make anyone upset. >> steve: secret service, look at this. >> ainsley: we had a family -- you weren't here yesterday. where were you yesterday? you never tell us when you take off. >> brian: i overslept. >> ainsley: visiting and pictures and they sat here to take pictures they are like the heater. i hear brian talk about it all the time. >> lawrence: it's become an artifact. >> brian: it will go right to my broadcast. >> steve: donald trump 8:00 eastern time. talk about the campaign. yesterday was the battle of the billion narsz. you have got billionaire mark cuban campaigning with vice president kamala harris in wisconsin yesterday while billionaire actually the richest guy on earth, elon musk made his mark in pennsylvania for donald trump. >> ainsley: wouldn't it be nice if your face were up there if you could say you were a billionaire. madeleine rivera in washington with the latest for us.

>> madeleine: mark cuban's meant to court younger voters for kamala harris. is he heading to arizona and michigan in the coming days where he will be focusing on the economy. in wisconsin yesterday he slammed former president trump's tariff proposals. listen. >> i honestly think that he used to understand how tariffs work. let's just call him the grinch from now on. do you know what? it gets worse than that it's not just about the christmas presents you won't be able to buy because the tariffs made them too expensive. >> madeleine: meantime musk held event. he stood beside the former president earlier this month when he returned to butler after the first assassination attempt. he is not only campaigning on behalf of trump. the tesla and spacex founder donated $75 million to the super pac supporting the former president. >> go ballistic. inflation go nuts. it will be bad on every level. and like fundamentally, if a current trend of, you know,

strangulation by overlegs is not turned around, we will never get to mars. it just will be illegal. >> as the campaign imers the final stretch the campaign is ramping up events for some of the democrats' most high profile surrogates the obamas. joining harris for the first timing on the campaign trail. next week the former president will campaign alongside president in georgia and first lady will hit. hoping to drive to the polls open voting. harris and trump will both be in michigan where the two are essentially tied. lawrence, ainsley steve and brian. >> steve: maddy, thank you so much. >> brian: tied in michigan what does it mean for the senate race elise slotkin. >> lawrence: it doesn't help her. >> steve: we call that the battle of the billionaires. if you are a subscribe tore x. you actually see it all the time. elon musk owns x so he is on there all the time. mark cuban has something like 9 million followers so they have

sassy back and forths all the time. in particular, mark cuban is, you know, he is a very veracious supporter of kamala harris and dog, you know, he is out there he actually showed up yesterday. >> brian: is he anybody but trump. there is grudge there, personal. >> steve: presidential politics ultimate shark tank. >> ainsley: has he ever said he would run. >> brian: he might. he said when his kids get older he will jump in and he just sold half the team e might be could youing himself up for the next cycle. >> steve: there is an item in the "new york times" this morning that talks about how elon musk had so much excitement at that event yesterday it's like is he running for president. of course he was born in south africa. he can't. he is so super popular with young men. that's one of the reasons they rolled him out yesterday. meanwhile, 6:18 here in new york

>> lawrence: if you look at it. trey you did a great report. there is all this stuff coming out. he was targeting civilians. so they go in the house and they find all of these guns, all of these explosive equipment. so that's a lot of stuff that the mainstream media is not showing you. they keep just saying kids are being targeted. families are being targeted without showing you the bombs in the house. >> ainsley: i'm impressed with israel the idf. it's a small country. everyone has to serve. such a remarkable military. they are facing a four front war. it's the houthis, it's iran. it's hezbollah, it's hamas. true, true. it's more than four. they have taken out the head, the three master minds behind october 7th. sinwar was the latest one yesterday. they have taken out the head of hezbollah. he was the head for 32 years. nasrallah. they took out a lot of his followers and soldiers with those pagers. they have taken out five other hamas leaders. they are incredible and i want our country to s say as an allyo
