[applause] i'm proud to be up here standing in for all these officers and to be honoring our police tonight. go, blue. >> we have the fundamental right given by god to raise our children, direct their upbringing, moral and religious upbringing and once we let the government get in between us and our children, our families are done. our country is at risk. this is the line in the sand, moms for liberty have drawn that line, we do not co-parent with the government. >> i learned real quick what service to the country meant. i learned new jobs, i learned new work. i learned how to rely on my friends. i relied on everything around me to protect me. out of the war, i got two things that i'm very proud to say. i survived and the second thing is i met my wife, who i was married to for 71 years. all you guys out there, if you can find one like me or if you have one like me, you are being blessed and that is what i had, i had one. >> thank you guys so much. i really appreciate it. this award isn't for me, though, it is not from honoring veterans placing flags and flowers on veteran grave sites, my mission is to bring awareness to veterans and i am bringing awareness to our veterans, to remind them they matter, we care and they will always be remembered. >> lawrence: what a great message for the next generation, gave a lot of folks in the audience hope to hear him care about the country. he was clearly raised the right way. >> brian: he was right in the audience, too, i'ming sure he appreciates that. >> steve: i got messages from people saying there were tears coming down their face. you don't see kids do that. you have to put down your phone. >> ainsley: what i like about working for this amazing network, y'all have the values we grew up. so proud to know my dad was watching last night. he was in the army reserve for 20 years. his dad and my mom's dad fought in world war ii. i heard the stories and heard the 101-year-old many talk about storming the beaches at normandy, it reminded me. my family was reading the book talking about it and i said y'all are the greatest generation and all the wives agreed and said they are worried about the youth. think what they would be thinking now with our youth. >> steve: one thing about the greatest generation in tom brokaw's book, he said it was hard to get people who went through world war ii to talk about it, they are a generation that doesn't brag about what they did. they saved the world ultimately temperature is left to other generations to brag on them. there is andy right there, he was fantastic. >> brian: yeah, he also stole the show, hope you will go watch it on fox nation, check it out if you wouldn't watch live last night. coming up, pete hegseth will be here, he had reason to celebrate, how did he celebrate? we will get the story and they will roll it back to dana and bill's show. >> steve: maybe we can tell how hard he celebrated. >> lawrence: did he sleep? >> brian: probing questions about party habits and dennis quaid was here. >> ainsley: he sang. gospel album and sean hannity was here. he said, i have to go, four and a half minutes, my show starts. >> brian: how did we get him to come on this morning? >> ainsley: you must have had a lot of influence. >> brian: my leverage. >> steve: he said he got a phone call from bill clinton. could be a joke, can never tell. >> ainsley: this is my favorite patriot award, i love being in nashville, it was intimate, my favorite. >> steve: broadway, downtown nashville. >> lawrence: steve, we were talking about young people and the impact and we were hopeful for that young man because of what he did for patriotism, his parents raised him right. there is a viral tiktok going around praising osama bin laden and they are using this tiktok to justify the attack that happened on israel. we'll play it, watch. >> can everyone stop what they are doing and go read, literally two pages, go read a letter to america and come back and let me know what you think. i am going through a crisis right now and a lot of people are, i need someone else to be feeling this, too. >> brian: turns out the guardian prints this story, excerpts from bin laden's attack. he was killed by seal team six. but why he did it. he said because of our relationship with that evil regime called israel. also, the evil thing we did by creating aids and thrust on the world. he went on to say women should not be having jobs. they should be serving visitors, strangers and their family. they should be essentially seen, but not heard from. a letter you wouldn't think any clear-thinking american would relate to. you have that woman or young lady who has 12 million followers, who is an influencer, put that up and be shared and it becomes viral. we have a generation that says more reason to think america is terrible. for the life of me, i can't figure out what they are selling. shariah law? you like an oppressive society that think women is less than everything else on the planet and america is a horrible place? how do you sell that? >> ainsley: osama bin laden, this letter back in 2002, an essay, he said israel must be erased. this was 21 years ago, they got it from the guardian, they printed it years ago and so did twitter. tiktok said we are not allowing videos to be posted anymore. >> steve: remember, she was fascinated because she might nothe have been born or of age she would realize what was going on. remember this, after 9/11, you saw destruction and thousands of people who died. then you saw that and there were stories circulating here in the united states later about how there were certain pockets in new jersey where people were on the roofs of buildings not far from where i live, celebrating all these americans had died. the point is, when you watch the attack on the israelis on october 7, and you think how could anybody in their right mind be celebrating the other side? we have seen this before. >> lawrence: we've seen it before, we have to realize the thing of islamic, radical islamists, being anti-american is taught in america. they may not go blowup a building, they believe that america is deeply racist, targets, people, is not a great nation, needs to be redefined. you have young people that hear that same rhetoric without even knowing it is a terrorist saying it. i sympathize with that. that is what we've been taught in school. if i'm a parent right now, i'm defunding the schools and looking at every piece of literature they are getting in high school, middle school and even elementary school. if you are not careful, recruitment will be in america. >> brian: next generation is not watching us right now, they are watching tiktoks, getting information on tiktok. who is pushing information on tiktok? china. don't believe anyone that says this is for profit by america. china is pushing through their number one app, letter to america, it was shared as of last night 7.3 million times. >> steve: what parents should do, if you have somebody of tiktok generation, you play some israeli attack, did you see this, what do you think? if they say, look, you know, israel, the great oppressor in bed with the united states, great satan, they had it coming. then that starts dialogue. the parent can talk about let me tell you what happened. >> ainsley: i wish elon musk would start a twitter, not twitter, start a tiktok so younger people will go to another platform. facebook was the race and changed to instagram. we need a new one and need a different tiktok and be able -- >> brian: they think instagram can do that, different algorithm, but closest. >> lawrence: i want to know if the audience agreeings with that. god, family, country. >> ainsley: amen, preach, preach. >> steve: ladies and gentlemen, ainsley approaching the crowd. >> ainsley: can i have your hand, i fell in a pot hole walking and hurt my knee and i was sober. i talked to y'all. i will work my way down. you are so sweet. you talked to me so much last night, i love you. what are you worried about with the next generation? >> i will tell you, my name is rita, the country is in shambles. i want to leave a great country for my son. i am 70, i have to work two jobs to afford what is going on. the world is out of control. crime is rampant. no one can afford anything. the world we knew a couple years ago was so different and to me, it is clear choice donald trump is the only choice to get us back to normalcy. we pray for a fair election and win by landslide. >> ainsley: susan, who are you voting for, if you don't mind and what are your biggest issues? >> trump is at the top. i think we're all feeling the economy hitting us. i remember the day after they announced the election, i was at the pump and i snapchatted my children and nieces and nephews and price was $1.82 per gallon and today it is more than dollar more, at times $2 more, doubled. that adds up. >> ainsley: we were energy independent at that time. thank you for your service, this young man was honored last night. this is your mom. i know you are proud of him. >> extremely proud. >> ainsley: you are doing something right, this is our next generation. what is your advice for parents raising children? >> what is most important, preston was upset about something, i didn't let him complain. i said, if you complain, do something about it and don't stand by and complain, do something. >> ainsley: thank you, sorry we did not get to y'all. who are you voting for in the next election? >> trump, nikki haley. anybody but biden. thank you for being here, many veterans that served our country. i am handing over to carley. >> carley: yes, you are. fox news alert. firefighters working to put out flames after a train hauling thousands of gallons of fuel derailed in atlanta. look at the tracks there. multiple cars went off the track. the cause of the derailment is you're investigation. happening today, four of eight teens facing murder charges for deadly beating of 17-year-old jonathan lewis, will appear in court, they are being charged as adults. lewis died less than 24 hours after the fight. it is believed the fight was over stolen headphones and a vape. experts are warning volcanic eruption is likely in iceland, the region has been hit by around 2000 earthquakes in the last 24 hours, creating massive cracks in the earth. nearly 4000 people have been evacuated, officials warn an eruption could destroy a nearby town and kick up a massive and dangerous cloud of ash. those are your headlines, unbelievable story. >> steve: who knew?

it is way to avoid appeal process? >> sean: last time i checked, we are united states of america, freedom of religion, freedom of speech. how does a judge put a gag order on a defendant in the middle of a case when he wants to go to the public and explain what his side is? it is the antithesis of personal liberty and rights and idea they tried to silence him in the first place is outrageous. what happened with this judge in new york, for example, i invest in real estate, i know property values in florida. i put on my show a two-acre lot of empty land, nothing on it, no building, just dirt, $200 million for just a lot. $150,000 for 1.5 acre lot. you cannot find though. here is mar-a-lago with 20 acres, 38 bathrooms, you on inter-coastal on the ocean and this dopey judge, who is accusing trump of shifting valuations. it was over before they went in. it is the greatest injustice and a lot of cases similarly have other problems and i think the american people see it by the poll. >> brian: today "wall street jou journal", he will get rebuked, but not charged for his documents case. we know no details, no leaks rebuked, but no problem. the documents disappeared. he sent a staffer to get documents after the mid-term election. >> sean: e-mail exchange shows they did it on purpose. if you compare hillary clinton, 33,000 deleted e-mail on servers, none of us had heard of bleaching. she deletes every server, personal devices destroyed with hammers, if that is not obstruction of justice, i don't know what is. joe biden had four places with top secret information. >> ainsley: we learned two hostages were found in gaza dead. one young lady, there was video floating of her alive and end of the video, they found her body and the idf found another lady, older in her 60s, going through cancer treatment and they find her body dead and we hear rashida tlaib will speak to a student group and at upenn, they are taking down the kidnapping signs and replacing with missing cow posters just to mock the hostages. look at that. >> lawrence: unbelievable. >> brian: they are losing donors, there is panic among higher ups, it is not stopping students. >> sean: why don't they open their mouths and show moral courage and have a little moral clarity and understand that you don't sympathize with terrorists. for this congresswoman to say from the river to the sea, which we all know means the destruction of israel or to hear in the halls of congress or some of our most prestigious universities or to hear around the country or all over europe or gas the jews, f the jews in australia, i never believed in our lifetime, any of us after what happened in nazi, germany, would see this type of vicious, vile, antisemitism racism to the extent we are. >> steve: sean, we were talking on tiktok, letter from bin laden from 20 years ago is getting traction with young people. hey, bin laden had a good reason for attacking the united states. people are looking at the united states as great satan. >> sean: this has to be gut-check for america. >> steve: for the world! >> sean: for the world, great point. there are victims and there are perpetrator and it is not difficult to come to the conclusion radical islamist that killed 1400 innocent israelis are terrorists, their own charter calls for destruction of israel. they built this extensive network of terror tunnels, i've been in them, i've been to border towns like sderot, where little kids can't play outside, they have to play in bunker playgrounds. america needs to decide, are you with them or will you stand for what is right. the democratic party need to decide, are you with congresswoman rashida tlaib and anti-semites, or will you stand against terrorism? moment of truth. >> lawrence: college kids are not buying any of it. they bought into this. would you fund a school knowing this was happening? >> sean: no, i think congress will take that up. one thing that i loved about your saturday show, you would go all around the country and talk to young people and what i'm hearing from young people is shocking to me. can you imagine you send your kid to harvard, cornell, ivy league institutions, they are there to get a quality education and they get indoctrinated. >> steve: it is not just ivy leagues. >> sean: it is not, you are right. where did this hatred build from, how are they indoctrinated? what are we doing wrong they don't understand? >> brian: a lot of democrats are just as angry as you and might be a place to come together, moskowitz, schumer, people are standing up. i'm thinking is there -- >> sean: where is chuck schumer calling out tlaib by name? if he had real moral courage and clarity -- >> brian: good point. here is you last night, if you are thinking of double clicking on it, here is you last night, one of the keynote speeches and you went and did your show. here is your clip. >> sean: off the stage three minutes before my show. >> steve: you made it. >> sean: no back-up host. >> brian: let's watch. >> sean: this is a fox news night because we honor what makes america great are the men and women of this country, the people that get up, play hard, pay being tacks, raise their kids and love this country and never burn a flag and don't take the side of terrorists. you are all the great americans. >> steve: that is a uniquely fox news message, sadly. >> sean: we've been here a while. welcome, lawrence. lj, you will be here for many decades to come. >> ainsley: only third, so proud of him. >> brian: he's already got dental. >> ainsley: but he doesn't need it. >> lawrence: thank you. >> sean: i just start my 28th year. if i watch my early shows and made a bet i'd still be here, bad bet. >> steve: the guy from atlanta who heard you from the radio probably said how did he get on tv. >> sean: definitely a place for radio, no doubt about it. i'm starting my 28th year and i'm proud to be part of a company that can put on a show like last night that honor the true heroes in our country. celebrities have award shows and pat themselves on the back and have red carpet and wear fancy dresses. what are you wearing today? i don't give a flying adam schiff what i am wearing. >> steve: california is flying? >> sean: what kind of shoes are you wearing? no idea. blue. then to see 91-year-old man last night, then to see frank siller and what he's done with tunnel to towers. >> steve: and his nephew. >> sean: yeah, and dennis quaid, rock star. >> ainsley: i think he's producing a movie and he will star as reagan. >> sean: that is great. i talked to him, interviewed him on my show. if you watched him in "parent trap," he is father of the year. watch the movie "i can only imagine" based on the song by the christian group mercy me. if you have not watched, watch "i can only imagine," and that song is my favorite of all time. he is the meanest dad in the world, but late in life has a conversion. it is a heartwarming story. >> brian: you like dennis quaid, i didn't want tension. >> sean: i do. are you worried about ha? i get up early and there is a marching band to wake me up. there is a guy behind the camera, i wish he would come in front of the camera, gavin is producer of "fox and friends," we're in new hampshire one year. >> ainsley: vice president of mornings. >> sean: vice president of mornings, every morning i go to bed 3:30 or 4:00 and five minutes after i fall asleep, outside my window was marching band practicing for "fox and friends." boom, symbols for getting me out of bed. >> brian: getting him ready for the new hampshire primary. >> ainsley: you were yelling at us on the set, you came out to yell at us on set. the hotel with the balcony. >> steve: fun trip. >> ainsley: that was fun. >> sean: this is what i love about this, it is people of this country issue all these people, all these people honored last night. we get attention and accolades we don't deserve. some of you are paid too much. >> lawrence: some of you. >> sean: think of main-stream media, any other media outlet that would honor great people that make this country great? >> ainsley: we wouldn't be on air without them. >> sean: they could fire us. >> steve: proof is in the pudding, if they thought it would be good show, they would put it on. we knew it would be. >> brian: we have weather on our show, have you ever tossed to weather? >> sean: i can toss to weather. i love to toss to janice, janice is great number know wo one. janice, i watch your reports every morning, you are phenomenal for fox weather forecast for today. >> brian: a crisp toss, sean. >> sean: am i taking lessons on tv? >> janice: he did great. amazing, put it on tape and we'll roll it again everyday, the sean hannity introduction whether. take a look at it here in the nashville area, make sure people get home on time. we have rain lingering in the area, 64 degrees, we are going to get showers later this afternoon and look what is happening across the east coast, we have this area of low pressure that brought a foot, almost two peat of rain in florida and that will transition to a coastal low. a cold front will interact with that, a mess along the east coast. west coast, another storm system that will move in. this will impact us going through next week, thanksgiving, busiest travel week of the year. that storm will transition and move to the great lakes and then to the northeast. we have a coastal low that we will watch as we get into the tuesday through wednesday timeframe and take a look at thanksgiving. quieter. thatten moos travel is going to be a mess, if we get to our final destination, things will look good. above average in temperatures, will see snow for the rockies and airport delays looking good. looks like las vegas, major delays for you and forecast delays getting into friday, west coast as that low moves in and northeast getting into saturday with coastal low and sunday things happen across central u.s. and thanksgiving holiday week. precipitation outlook, looking at dryer conditions for the west and there are your air travel delays right now. a lot of folks heading to the airport right now, call ahead and try to make sure the rain stays away for the "fox and friends" travel today. that rhymes, how about that?

[applause] they are seated in the balcony. >> lawrence: and will rachel and the man himself, pete hegseth, join us live on set right now. pete, congratulate you on a well-done show yesterday. it was your speech that got me. nailed it about doing it for the kids. why was the patriot awards last night different than any other patriot awards? >> it was different, but the same. we are not trying to turn it into something it isn't. it is honoring real heroes, we had the young kid putting flags on the grave and the 99-year-old world war ii vet. every year is inspiring. the message, especially now, let's not throw curveballs or junkballs, throw fastballs about what makes america a special country and remind people of it and give up to the fox nation team, great job. >> ainsley: what i love you did last night, we reported on the blackhawk helicopter that went down and you put their pictures on the screen and we looked at them, moment of silence to remember their faces. >> steve: and connection to this area. >> pete: we must be on the flight path of fort campbell, you see them flying over. i really thought about it and saw statement, routine mission. there is just nothing routine about what these guys ever do. firefighters, cops, going in, traffic stop, nothing is routine. i think that message was brought home last night and i'm grateful for everybody. >> steve: rachel, what did you like? >> rachel: i was excited they let me do the first award for moms of liberty. i talked to the ladies -- >> steve: the people referred to as domestic terrorists? >> rachel: that is the point, we don't want to go on thursday night to meetings. yeah, you don't want to go to meetings and speak up on behalf of your children and your neighbors don't talk to you, your boss is annoyed you spoke up, this is reality for many parents. this award ceremony said celebrate moms being vilified by the fbi and doj, called domestic terrorists, lift them up, they are fighting on the frontlines, it gives courage to other moms. >> i think in what we do and everybody watching through the television screen, this can be such a mess. the news -- >> steve: that is what andy said last night. >> you come away from the patriot awards, a unique event. two takeaways, one from pete's speech, pete laid it out, god, family and freedom, reaffirmation of we not on the stage, we as americans, care, why we are doing all this. it is about god, family and freedom. i got to present preston sharp, the young man who put flags on graves. 99% perspiration. everybody sees inspiration, a flash on the screen showed every state he went to, perspiration. preston is a stud and gives hope for the future. how about his mom? driving around this country, thatlet give you hope. >> rachel: i couldn't agree more. >> brian: at the table, were you in the same situation, we forgot to eat. we're at a table, i'm sure the waiter will be by. >> steve: brian, only tables in the front eating in front of 5000 people. >> brian: we forgot to eat, we're starving and you were a hero. >> i was. i almost got a patriot awards, i brought cliff bars for my table. take that into consideration for patriot awards. this guy, i've known him, i don't know how long, he won't eat or touch anything and he comes out halfway through the show with a mountain dew. >> brian: i needed the caffeine, we were going to morning show, not great for night time. >> ainsley: cute y'all had all the kids. if you put rachel's kids -- >> pete: the whole deal. >> ainsley: you have nine and you have seven. >> pete: one was asleep by the end. >> brian: you know all their names?

>> sitting next to me with a mountain dew. >> big night of patriotism. >> steve: thank you all, let's do it again next year. ladies and gentlemen, the "fox and friends" family friday. >> brian: all right, house republicans are launching an investigation into the anti-war group code pink, disrupted recent hearings including secretary of state blinken. >> ainsley: and we're learning one of the group's founders may have ties to communist chinese party. >> lawrence: oh, great. griff jenkins live in washington. what do you know? >> griff: we're learning and good morning, great show in nashville. we're learning who is behind groups like code pink specifically and it appears they are far less organic than meets the eye. code pink rally in d.c. yesterday, that was organized by jody eknow vas. i first met her in 2003, when code pink was founded to oppose george w bush's war in iraq. it is now a major player on the protest front and they have deep pockets bank rolled by jody evans husband, wealthy tech entrepreneur. evans was linked to people's forum, who claims to advocate for marginalized communities and social justice and been active in organizing four of the big protests we've seen in d.c. and new york in recent weeks. this comes as "new york times" investigation linked her husband to four nonprofits, which pedal chinese communist propaganda. in the summer evans made the case president xi was not such a bad guy afterall. >> governing structure of china is such that i -- you know, after learning it, realizing xi has less power than biden. >> steve: >> griff: he's not a scary guy, she says. where does the money come from? follow the money, an old adage that holds up in this case. evans and her husband are quite the power couple in the socialist marxist circles in bankrolling far left causes. pro-palestinian marches are the order of the day. guys, back to you. >> brian: who knew. >> ainsley: thanks, last night a patriot awards paid special tribute to unsung heroes and taking home salute to service award was world war ii veteranan andy negria. >> let me assure all of you, every time this country ever got into a problem, they solved it so regardless what is going on now, we will break this badness and get back to the good. >> steve: actor dennis quaid turns out to be a very good singer, he presented that award and joins us live. good morning. >> good morning. >> steve: when i grow up, i want to be that guy. that is what i felt, my hero. he is 99 years old and highlight of the evening. >> brian: i was watching you and you got more amazed as he went on. >> he looks 60, if that, his mind is so sharp and ought to -- he ought to have a show himself. commentary. >> ainsley: we were hanging on every word he said, someone that age who served our country, world war ii, so much wisdom. you talked to him behind the stage, what did he say?
