thought it was interesting still productive just released a book. keynote speaker at the al smith dinner in october. and if you talk to him one-on-one by the way he referenced the attacks on october 7th and put in perspective how bad it was and said it was equal, if not, you know, in many ways the worse since the holocaust so productive. when people get older you have to watch what you say it means you are going to lose your fast ball not in his case at all. in fact, the other people that people appreciate in the soccer world. he single-handedly made soccer relevant. put u.s. soccer

hannity is moderating. this this is all taking place in alpharetta, georgia which is where lawrence is today. >> steve: big crowd of people. good morning, lawrence. >> good morning, family. so good to be in the great state of georgia where the folks are looking forward to this debate it really will show you the contrast of a red state and a blue state, what happened during the pandemic, the economy as it relates to crime. who can govern the best and they picked georgia because now, although the people say it's still trump country georgia has become somewhat of a swing state. let's see what happens tonight. >> steve: all right. we will indeed. in the meantime, lawrence, we want you to weigh in on this, yesterday when you were here in new york with us. we were talking about this. over the weekend, a 9-year-old kansas city chief's fan was shown up on the jumbotron at the chiefs raider game. that is some social media video taken by the family. on the jumbotron all you could see was half of holden's' face the half painted black. reporter for dead spin essentially accused this 9-year-old of finding a way to hate black people and native americans at the same time by showing up in black face wearing that american -- native american head cress. here's the thing. he is native american. and now we know more about why he painted his face black and red. it's chiefs colors. >> brian: he was on with his dad last night on jesse. >> it's okay because a lot of kids at school are getting excited but it's starting to get me a little nervous because if they go a little bit overboard, it's a little scary. >> bubba, would you like an apology? what would you like from kaaron at dead spin. >> it's a little too late for that comments all over, negative comments towards native americans and my family. >> steve: what does it mean you feel all this love from chief's nation and everyone is going to be wearing red and black on their face next sunday. >> really good. >> he asked me 10 minutes ago if he could paint his face before we go live? >> [laughter] >> jesse: who is your favorite player on the chiefs? >> patrick mahomes. >> steve: mine, too. >> ainsley: well, this article i was reading says they have ties, the family has ties to native americans. grandfather served on the board of the tribe in california. the tribes have actually reached out to him in support. this little kid, is he 9 years old. he is painting the school colors on his face. he didn't mean -- he is a big chief's fan. >> steve: lawrence? >> lawrence: did we not see the black players on the field as he was doing the ax back and forth the players were doing it right back to him are we going to overlook the intentions of this writer that he cropped out the other side of the boy's face. he didn't show the full video of the black players participating at one of their fans was celebrating them. i mean, this has gone way too far. when you have a country right now that has actual racist in the middle of the street, and i know people are tired of me saying it. i will keep saying it until we get them out of the middle of the street. promoting hamas, they want to pick on a little kid. a 9-year-old boy who wants to support his team. who is also native american by the way. it's just ridiculous. >> brian: right. we will see what happens with this now. i don't think there is any momentum against him. this wasn't like the covington kids where it took a week or two to get the real story. really all the pressure is now on this reporter. and the editor to come out with a massive apology. and an explanation. not that the parents would accept it. but at least it would be a hail mary to try to save dead spin. this could be a death blow. >> steve: it will be interesting to see exactly how many people do show up in the black and the red face at arrowhead stadium this weekend. >> ainsley: well, we will be watching for the players for the game for taylor swift. >> steve: i wonder if taylor swift will do it. >> ainsley: i doubt it but we will see. >> brian: a lot of people will never paint their face. it doesn't mean they don't support the child. >> ainsley: don't want to break out. >> brian: exactly, lawrence, i cannot see you as a face painter, am i right? >> lawrence: do you want to hear something? i painted my face in college. >> brian: did you? >> lawrence: i did. >> ainsley: why? >> lawrence: listen, listen, can i be honest? when i'm on the team, if i have to paint my face with a fox news logo i will do it because it's my team. it's all about being a team player. >> steve: what did you paint your face? >> lawrence: cowboys. i don't know maybe we put fox news we let a kid put like fox news with some little finger paint and then do red, white, and blue. be very patriotic because we are patriotic channel, maybe that. >> brian: well, that will be interesting. we will see if we get a lot of momentum behind that movement. >> steve: lawrence, what did you paint your face? >> lawrence: oh, so i went to the university of north texas, so it was green for the eagles. >> brian: all right. >> steve: green eagle? your eagles are green? >> lawrence: learn something new every day. >> ainsley: thanks, lawrence. elon musk has a message for his haters. >> if somebody is going to try too blackmail me with advertising, blackmail me with money, go [bleep] yourself. >> ainsley: whoa his full comment. >> brian: i couldn't make it out because they bleeped it. i don't know what they meant. desantis and newsom gear up for tonight's debate on sean hannity show. >> just weakness masquerading as strength. is he flailing. >> what i would tell him is you know what? stop pussy footing around or are you going to sit on the sidelines and chirp? >> the debate is going to be tonight in georgia. so what do voters think? let's go back to lawrence in georgia.

>> well, it was a culmination of a lot of things. mainly it was the pandemic lockdowns. we had a little 2-year-old, he was in day care. just watching him force the mask on him every day it was heart breaking and tough and seeing his face every day leaving and going to work. and then you know, it's other things, you know, seeing the taxes not going to useful policies and then also, you know, my wifes she wars god to get the vaccine mandate which she had complications from right out of the gate. ultimately she set a timeline the hospital did for getting the booster shot, which is april 28th. and then so then when we set our timeline that we have to get out of florida. those are kind the like the key items. >> ainsley: terry, how about you moved to winter park in orlando a beautiful area. >> i was actually born and raised in central florida, ainsley, i moved to california in 1986. it was not as liberal as it is now and as time went on, we kept getting more and more liberal laws passed. we got a super majority in the legislature that kept passing more laws and more regulations, the cost of living went through the roof. in fact when i moved from california to texas. it cost less today it's probably 75% higher. i saw this coming years ago you know what? i'm going back to florida. florida is a free state. we have a governor, a lengths lay temperature that actually looks after the constituents vs. california which i think california legislature, they think that citizens serve them. and their needs. that's why i moved bark. it's just a much freer place to live. much less cost of living. and i'm much happier here. >> ainsley: craig, tell me how your life is different in florida compared to california. >> it's a big difference. so, and in california there is really not a sense of community. and then also, too like looking around there is not many kids playing in the streets. you don't see the camaraderie that you see here in florida. you know, we just bought a house. we made florida our permanent home just recently. you know, putting up the christmas lights last night our kids were out in the cul-de-sac playing with nine other neighborhood kids. we weren't worried. we weren't looking around. it's not stressful. we have great community. our church is very welcoming. i mean, it's just, you know, also, too, just the sense of, you know, i have a new found respect for our country and just more patriotic than i have been in the past 10 years. >> ainsley: that's awesome. what an american story because it doesn't -- we didn't grow up with a lot we had just enough. i this that idyllic childhood, too. i was so happy. some of the greatest years of our lives. it doesn't take a lot of money it just is happiness playing with the friends in your neighborhood. >> exactly. >> ainsley: terry, what's the difference for you? >> cost of living is a big deal and, again, as i said the politics are not the same here in florida as they are in california. in our groups we still have a lot of people who are worried about their kids and what they're learning in school. in california as far as transgenderism teaching them they might be a different sex at 8, 9, 10 years old. i have a friend in southern california he has a daughter in junior high school and they are -- he said one out of five of their kids are transgenderring right now. we don't want to teach that to young people and so it's just different here. it's just very different here. >> ainsley: real quickly, what do you want to see from sean tonight. what question should he ask both of these governors, craig?

>> that's the terrible reality of hatred and violence that we're dealing with. one attack in jerusalem. three people killed as you said dozen more injured. luckily it could have been much worse. one palestinian perper traitor one terrorist who was with m-16. the other one was with a pistol for as much as i understand. there were two israeli soldiers there. one actually on his way back to his unit in the south. he was on leave. so they are trainings and they managed to neutralize the terrorist. in the jordan valley you have a ramming attack in which two soldiers were injured. i did many interviews over the past days as you know. usually i get asked why are you operating in the west bank? well, this is why. this is why. people tend to forget that hamas is not just in gaza. they have cells in the west bank. and other terrorist organizations like the palestinians islamic jihad. we do not wants to see another flare-up on another front and this is why we are acting preemptively there. >> brian: yesterday we found out late there is going to be another day because you are going to get your 10 more hostages back. you got some of them back and then had to give up 30 in return. so you gave a list of 300. stop me if this is incorrect. up to -- of the possible palestinian prisoners that could get released. in exchange for hostages basically 3 to 1 margin. do you know if tomorrow the pause is going to be extended and how important is it for the rest of the world to know that you guys are going to go finish the job, regardless? >> oh, that's not even in question. we will finish the job. now, we agreed to this outline upon which for every extra israeli hostage that hamas would release, we said we will give another day of humanitarian pause in the fighting. and for that and we also prepared the list that you are talking about of palestinian prisoners who were involved in terrorist activity that we are willing to release. but once hamas stops releasing more hostages we will stop the pause hamas must be gone. how do you feel about ourselves sitting in with your war cabinet, war officials which just happened? >> you see, we are in lock step with washington about the goals of the operation. >> brian: are you taking orders from us? >> we are a sovereign country as you know but there is no daylight between washington and jerusalem. it's important to understand here because we all want to see hamas gone. we all understand that all hostages must return home. there are 145 more in gaza as we speak right now for, what, more than 55 days now. and everyone understands that gaza can no longer pose a terror threat to israel. this is why we are operating. >> brian: axios is reporting that president biden told netanyahu, the person you are a spokesperson for, the prime minister, you can't fight in the south, gaza, the way you did in the north. got to be much more surge. how true is that and what would it do if he did in fact relay that message. >> you see, we don't want to see civilians caught in the crossfire. we are doing our maximum efforts to make sure that they are out of harm's way. hamas is doing exactly the opposite. that's how they operate. they embed themselves in and under civilian operation. we will continue to do what we did in the north. >> brian: providing humanitarian corridors?

you borrow it and dip down into your savings. save less and borrow more. that's not exactly a great situation to be in right now. >> steve: no i had canning. when you think about it. why save for a rainy day. it's rainy right now. >> stuart: you mentioned before -- what was the end of the world sex? is that what you were talking about before. i think you were actually. that livens up the interview, doesn't it. >> steve: after natural disasters like that where nine months later there would be some sort of a baby boom suddenly all these young americans born and it's how do you explain that? well, remember what happened nine months ago? >> stuart: americans want to consume again, get back into that mode. they can't afford it the way they would like to do it but that's the mode they are in. spend it even though you don't have it. go into debt. save less. that's what is happening. >> steve: check out stuart's show. it is great. it's over 9:00 this morning eastern time. it's varney and company and then american built monday nights on fox business. thank you very much. >> thanks, steve. >> steve: yes, sir. meanwhile, what kind of a day is it going to be? ask j.d. >> janice: take a look at it. still cold across the country. warming the temperatures up a little bit. although we did have freeze advisories for parts of the panhandle florida. it's raining. it's pouring and we could see severe weather over parts of texas and louisiana up towards arkansas. even a tornado risk later this afternoon for the houston area. so that's going to be a concern. large hail, damaging winds, tornadoes, and heavy rainfall could cause potential for flooding. that system is going to move across the mississippi and tennessee river valley up toward the ohio valley and then in towards the northeast. going to be not the greatest weekend for our folks across the east coast. we have a new storm system in the west. going to bring not heavy rain but mountain snow. good news for the skiers. too much rain is going to cause issues including flooding. i also want to make mention we have tremendous amount of rain around the hawaii area. over the next couple of days through the weekend. so we'll watch that as well. we watch all 50 states here in the weather department, fox weather.com for all of your latest details. all right, steve, ainsley, brian, to you, my friend. >> ainsley: thanks, janice. >> steve: thursday "foxcast." meanwhile, fox news alert, in about 10 minutes, embattled new york congressman george santos will hold a press conference just outside the capitol building. >> brian: the new york lawmaker is set to speak out ahead of a possible third expulsion vote. >> ainsley: chad pergram joins us live from capitol hill with a preview. chad?
