moines called urbandale and we are back here in the kitchen, obviously, because i wanted you all to see this. look at these cinnamon rolls. look how massive they are. wow. i cannot wait to dig into one of these. look at these wonderful blueberry pancakes nancy prepared for me. she told me not to eat them. right? we rushed them for this show. thank you for holding the door for me. look at these fine folks in iowa woo! [cheers and applause] >> ainsley: look at all of you. thank you all so much. i will leave these here. but don't eat them nancy said because we had to rush them. they might not be ready look at these beautiful people in iowa! thank you. do you want a picture? all right. let's do it. there you go. flip it around. here we go. >> i don't know how to do that? just like.

[cheers and applause] thank you all. everyone here is so nice. steve, it does not surprise me that this is where you were born because you are just as nice, too. hey, steve, hey, brian. >> steve: good morning. thank you so much you are so glad i was born in iowa today. the think about iowa. >> ainsley: that's right. >> steve: it was in iowa where i had my first political job covering the iowa caucuses. the thing about the caucus situation is because it is so important to the selection of the next president of the united states, all the candidates come to iowa, obviously, but people in iowa want to sit down, like you are right now, at a coffee table and talk to them face to face. you know, it's not a great big hall with 10,000 people. they are face to face. and you're going to have a presidential candidate there at the machine shed later this morning. >> ainsley: that's right. vivek ramaswamy is coming here. and i saw your interview with mike pence, brian. he was talking about coming here to iowa. he has been all over this state. nikki haley has been here a lot. ron desantis is pledging to go to all 99 counties like chuck grassley does every year. so they realize how important this state is. >> brian: and a lot of times it's the surge at the end i remember rick santorum was in single digits. he ends up winning t the state. ted cruz won in to 2016. ainsley you told me what you were going to wear for your diner stint. and i really salute your selection. i think the top and the jeans really work for you. you dress according to machine shed. >> ainsley: thank you. >> steve: brian has become the mr. blackwell of cable. >> ainsley: i know. i know. i heard y'all talking about it yesterday morning because carley did a beautiful job helping me out and filling in for me. and y'all were talking about, carley, what do you think so ainsley should wear and she said a checkered shirt and tight fitting jeans. i had already packed my bag at that point. yesterday was hayden's first day of school. that's why i wasn't on yesterday and we flew out. it's not quite checkered. it has a little pattern. >> steve: it's diner wear. >> ainsley: i'm going to take advantage of it. >> brian: that's great. >> ainsley: that's right. this is diner wear. how about the cinnamon rules? >> carley: yes. >> brian: carley does approve. >> ainsley: thank you for the ideas. >> steve: have you tasted that cinnamon roll yet? because it is the size of a brick. >> i haven't tasted it yet. can i tell you? that's my weakness. i have always loved cinnamon rolls you know when you get not inside of the cinnamon rolls had swirls, get to the yes center it's not cooked as much, tastes so good. >> brian: my only weakness is still kryptonite. that's it, besides that, can i put up with all metals and cinnamon rolls. ainsley, start us off. >> ainsley: now to a fox news alert. president biden heading to india this morning. peter doocy is with him. is he going to be meeting with top world leaders at this year's g-20 summit. >> steve: that's right. our president is expected to strengthen ties with foreign leaders as the united states looks to counter china and boost support for ukraine. >> brian: yep. peter doocy live in new delhi, india with the latest. peter, set the scene. >> peter: and the scene, ahead of the president coming here, is that everybody back home has been talking about president biden's age. and there's nothing that anybody working for the president can do about his age. they can't make him any younger. so now biden campaign staff are trying to convince people worried about his ad advanced age that he is not just old, he is old and daring. they just cut this new ad about his quick trip to kyiv. >> in the middle of a war zone, joe biden showed the world what america is made of. that's the quiet strength of a true leader who doesn't back down to a dictator. >> peter: months after that trip to ukraine, only 28% are saying the president inspires confidence in a cnn poll. and a super majority of democrats, 67% wish they had a biden primary alternative. >> now, about the president's age, you're going to -- voters will see his vigor. voters will see his accomplishments. this is about american families. i think american families are going to look at the issues they face and look at who is addressing those issues, who is talking about those issues, and who is doing something about it and that's going to be president biden. >> peter: air force one is going to land here in india in about two hours. the leaders of the g-20 want to talk about the war, it's going to be tough to get everybody on the same page in condemning russia, a lot of the members are just worried about grain prices high as a result of the war. they want those grain prices to come down. something else the leaders want to talk about is climate change. what to do about it. but that's going to be kind of a tough sell, too. the host country has not historically agreed to reduce emissions as they have grown their economy. back to you. >> steve: that's right. and while you are in new delhi, we're going to talk a little bit -- shortly, about a protester who glued themselves to the floor at the u.s. open to talk about climate change. but, peter, one of the other things they are going to try to do, the united states is going to try reform the world bank. because, in the past, china has made a lot of loans to middle and lower income nations, developing nations. and we want to take that space. forget about china. come to us at the world bank, right? >> yeah, and that's going to be tough, too. because china is part of the world bank. and so it's tough to tell what kind of reforms there are going to be. when we heard from the treasury secretary at this press filing center in new delhi overnight, she was talking about how the chinese economy has not been growing as fast as projected. and so, they have to make some reforms. she thinks maybe they do it with policy, tough to tell when xi is not here because deputies he sent might not be authorized to make any big decision on the world stage. but, the chinese economy, which has grown so fast over the last couple years, it's slowing down. and they are going to have to do something. yes, the western leaders here want to convince these developing countries, particularly here in the south, they should come to the u.s. instead of going to china who will give them money to develop but then at a very high interest rate. the u.s. is saying we will help you, no strings attached. >> brian: right. thanks, peter. yeah. that belt and road program has had mixed results with the chinese. now according to gina raimondo dougthey have problems behind te scenes fortify relations with the u.s. the problem there's no sign of that. they seem very belligerent, they seem arrogant and not even showing up at the g-20. big picture, joe biden has got to be thinking about re-election. he cannot be happy with the recent cnn polls. because i know cnn doesn't seem happy with them. shows donald trump beating joe biden, 47-46. haley, beyond the margin of error with the most sensational showing with a 6 point lead. joe biden loads to mike pence and rick scott. dead heat with desantis, vivek ramaswamy has a one pointed a ran vantage within the margin of error the. 2 point lead. this has got to be alarming when you think what joe biden is looking at. running on economy where the american people are not pleased. 38% approve of the economy. they see the collapse of the border. so his hope, ainsley, is foreign policy, i guess, if he wants to hang his hat on that? >> ainsley: yeah. when i'm talking to these diners, that's not their biggest issue. their biggest issue is the economy. we are hearing also about our schools. moms worried about not being notified if their children want to change genders? >> brian: of course. >> ainsley: hearing a lot about border and immigration. should we talk about some of the diners? >> steve: please do. go ahead. >> ainsley: okay. let's do it. all right. let me get a show of hands since we just did that cnn poll. let's do a show of hands. can you all hear me? okay. who is -- thank you. thank you, sir. thank you, sir. who is -- raise your hand when i ask these questions, please. would you raise your hand if you are supporting donald trump. [cheers] >> what about ron desantis? [cheers] >> nikki haley? [weak cheers] >> tim scott? mike pence and somebody here in a little while vivek ramaswamy. anyone here for vivek? [cheers] >> ainsley: who wants to be on camera? you sir back here. you are like brian kilmeade you love facetime. you love to be on camera. i'm just kidding, we love brian we kid him a lot. >> is he a good guy. >> where are you from. >> des moines. >> ainsley: love your state fair. what your issues. >> we need to get the budget deficit down. it's killing us. >> ainsley: i talked to one man over there who said how much do you get in social security a month? 1400. and his isisster has to help him out. it's just not enough. economy is a big issue. retirement. when you are on a fixed income and groceries are expensive, how do you do it? >> you cut back. >> ainsley: what have you had to cut back on? >> travel. vacations, things like that. >> ainsley: yes, sir. >> this is the time in your life when you should be able to do that. >> yeah. of course my wife works so i'm sending her back. [laughter] >> ainsley: i hear that the wife goes back to work when he retires. [laughter] >> that's right. that's right. >> ainsley: anyone else want to give their opinions? yes, sir. i'll come to you over here. what a nice-looking group. oh, be careful. i'm worried but tripping on that cord. what time did you all wake up this morning? 2:00 a.m.? >> 3:30. >> 4:00. >> yeah, #:30. >> ainsley: we appreciate it. thank you. tell me your name? >> caleb. >> ainsley: what issues are most important to you? >> addressing the generation gap. especially with our young people. it's been our young people so divided right now. it's something that needs to be addressed and so that's one of my main issues right now. i'm looking for the candidate who will support that and be a good leader for our young people. >> ainsley: which candidate so far do you like? >> there is a few candidates actually that i'm supporting that i'm thinking about right now. binkley is one of them. ryan binkley. he is a good person who is for. vivek ramaswamy. he is a good person as well. and also desantis has been making a big push on our young people. it's a little bit of toss-up right now but there's a lot of good candidates out there who want to support our generation. >> ainsley: we have a little bit more than a year. so you have time for making up your mind. ththank you caleb for joining u. >> ainsley: i'm going to come back to set. brian and steve, how about this crowd? look at this. look at their menu. dedicated to the american farmer. don't you love that? >> steve: that's a lot of bacon. >> ainsley: a lot of them are farmers. everything we eat. thanks to iowa. >> brian: and ethanol. they serve ethanol there? >> steve: at a gas station they would. >> ainsley: lots of corn. >> steve: lots of corn, indeed. we alluded to this a moment ago. at the u.s. open the talk has been how hot it is. >> brian: and how ill behaved the crowd has been and drunks. >> steve: okay, that too. but, last night, kathy and i were watching the u.s. open. it was cocoa goff vs. mischof have a. and the commentators were talking about how something was happening and they couldn't tell. we got a little snippet of something that was happening a ways up and there you can see right there as it turns out. four environmental protesters in the upper levels were trying to make a statement. three of four were escorted out without issue. but they had to bring in a medical team because one of the protesters glued his bear feet to the floor. apparently after it took almost 50 minutes to do it. some people initially thought they were cheering for cocoa. but this has happened at other places. it happened at wimbledon. it happened at the city open. the u.s. open actually has a protest area but you need a protest permit and they didn't have one. >> brian: it's just obscene that we're trying to get through a semi-final match in new york city. the premier event in american tennis. in the world tennis i would think. and then you have these protesters, this spokes person came out and said well, we're doing this because we are desperate, nondisruptive protest have the been attempted for 50 years. climate change became a scientific fact and proven ineffective left with no choice but to disrupt these events. absolutely terrible. this is extension rebellion. in fact, we have a comment to read and it goes like this. no tennis on a dead planet if we don't disrupt nature will. are you converted? do you believe climate change is real or do they have to still glue themselves to things? will you finally give in? >> ainsley: first of all, when i hear that they are gluing their bodies to certain things to cement, gluing your feet, how do you -- what is it super glue? elmer's? that seems so painful. how do they get their feet -- anyway. >> brian: what losers, disturbing an event. these guys are trying to get to the final. >> ainsley: this is my point about that absolutely. they drain their entire lives. if you all know anyone who has done this and tried to play professional tennis. they play constantly. it is a grind. and sometimes all these matches they have doubles, in the afternoon, they play singles in the morning. it's hot out there she has trained her whole life for this and they are disrupting her game. she was so polite. i always talk about preaching how you feel and what you believe in and it was done in peaceful way so i can't get tood in a. obviously i don't want it to hand when i'm winning though. she was up the first set 6-4. then she is starting the second set. she was up 1-0. she ended up winning the second set and won the match. second set 7-5. you are right, brian. they put so much time and energy and blood, sweat, and tears into this sport and to be disrupted like that because that can take someone off their game. some of these tennis players when you watch them. some say i need to go to the bathroom and they will take a bathroom break. that will throw the other tennis player off their game. they do that to mess with them mentally sometimes. i'm glad she went on to win i love watching her but it could have gone the other way. >> i will tell you what, the crowd turned on the protesters because they were saying kick them out. get rid of them. there was a huge cheer when the new york police finally did escort them out. it is unclear though whether or not they wound up being charged. they were able to move them. but, during the 50 minutes of protest, cocoa could be heard telling her coaches that police were negotiating with the protesters. she said it's like a hostage situation and it kind of was. because the protesters were holding all those people hostage there at the u.s. open and all the people who wanted to see this thing happen. but you know what? on this friday morning we are talking about what they wanted so ultimately they got their message out. >> brian: people digging in so say now for sure i know that i hate them even more. can you imagine if she lost the momentum that she worked so hard to get and she loses the match or the other player had the momentum and she lost the match. this is the type of thing. it doesn't win people over to your cause, believe me. and in new york, why should make them. their punishment should be they should be forced to go on a new york subway any time after midnight, be forced to stay in a subway and we will see how many climate change converts they get. >> steve: glue yourself to a new york city subway and see how that goes. well, you are in iowa. carley is here in new york. and her first story is about pennsylvania. >> carley: that's exactly right. here we go. more on this. authorities another possible sight of the convicted killer who escaped a pennsylvania prison. they say he was seen within the police search zone just an hour outside of philadelphia. 34-year-old cavalcante illegal immigrant just been found guilty of killing his ex-girlfriend. the murderer escaped from the prison more than one week ago after scaling a wall and busting through razor wire. you see him escaping right there on your screen. look at that video. wow. president biden is reportedly considering a new policy that would force migrant families who illegally crossed the border to remain in texas sources tell the "l.a. times" that the migrants would remain the border as they await the asylum training. movements would be tracked through g.p.s. monitoring devices such as ankle bracelets. the possible change comes as blue states like new york struggle to handle the influx and call on the white house to take action. governor abbott is going to love that idea. do as i say, not as i do. chicago teacher's union president stacey davis gaetz is defending her decision to send her son to private school, despite her strong opposition to school choice. she says she was forced to take her son out of public school due to iniquities in the black community saying, quote: it forced us to send our son after years of attending a public school to a private high school with a curriculum that can meet his social and emotional needs. those are your headlines, guys, can you believe that?

>> well, i think the most significant part of the thing that i have heard the frustration from pentagon leaders ever since the incidents took place was the frustration they had with the state department. we had -- remember, for our viewers to understand, all of our troops were out, our bases were closed by mid july at the very latest. but the situation began to deteriorate quickly as we saw that the afghan security forces, once the decision was made, that the united states was no longer going to be able to support them with intelligence and particularly with air support, they knew the fight against the taliban was somewhat hopeless. so they didn't -- they chose not to fight. they weren't going to die for something that they knew the taliban would eventually take over. so, surrender was taking place out in the provinces and the people saw that happening, the military people saw it happening. urging the state department, look it, you guys have got to get out of here. this thing is going to deteriorate very quickly. all the military was gone, except foresome additional security forces around the embassy. and they kept delaying that decision, thinking they could keep that embassy open, despite the fact that the taliban were going to be in charge and somehow this would continue to work. we didn't know the taliban were going to be in charge. the possibility that that event could happen made no sense whatsoever. so, that's where we were. we were in that crucible of the taliban taking over much faster than anybody thought they were going to do. and the state department delaying the decision to get out of there. that's the frustration that he is talking about in terms of arrogance and american exceptionalism. and it created the very chaotic situation. by that time we only had one airfield to deal with. and that happened to be inside a city. and that made the security situation and everybody in the world sore, the debacle that took place there and the chaos it created. >> brian: it will be interesting to see other people express contrition and apologize like that. general, this is the toughest decision i guess for a general. but, when you see a president, about to lead us down this road of disaster, do you take your -- listen, i resign. if you are not going to listen to me. do what mattis did. he didn't like what president trump wasn't listening to him about syria. he goes okay, i'm out. should he have said you do this, i'm out? milley, if you do this, i'm how the? that would have forced the president possibly to re-evaluate. >> you know, those are tough choices. and, look it. they have got to make those decisions themselves. here is one of the things that we have to consider when you are making that choice. we are asking all of our subordinates at various tackle levels to do things that are very difficult, that could -- we know will result in a loss of life and we expect them to execute those missions regardless of the danger to them and their teammates. in other words, you are going to tough it out. well, if we quit every time we have a policy disagreement with the commander-in-chief, we're sending absolutely the wrong message to our leaders below us when we're asking them to do tough things that sometimes seem impossible things to do. those are personal decisions, brian. and i don't get in the middle of what that is in terms of making that decision. i respect those -- i respect certainly what secretary mattis did. and i also respect the decision that general mckenzie came to as well. that belongs to him. i understand the criticism of it. but, think of it in terms of the context and the culture of a military chain of command that serves its masters and loyalty and obedience has got to be a part of that in terms of executing orders. >> brian: great point that i could only -- only you could appreciate more than me because you are the general. but it might have gotten the president to recalculate. that would be my hope. not to save my baseball card and make people think different about me but the president might have said wow, i can't lose membership millie, he just criticized frump. and if i lose millie, clearly this is going to be on me. and mr. politician probably would have made a different decision. i would do to to change the president's mind rather than help my own reputation. i guess we will have to leave it there, general. just such a catastrophic decision that we made and we are still paying the price for general jack keane, thank you. >> okay. great talking to you, brian, have a great weekend, guys. >> brian: you too. coming up on one nation this weekend. senator tim scott talking. we haven't seen him in a long time. how does he feel about the polls geeght joe biden. ari fleischer here to respond and some of the things we have been discussing. john jordan with the magical inspiration that he gives to the tigers and the rams that could change around your life. carley shimkus i have not met. seems very nice. janice dean i see in the halls seems like somebody you really like it hear from. coming up straight ahead on this show. a woman saves a man from a burning vehicle. they join us. ainsley having breakfast with all her best friends and by the way she does not mind sitting down with them and she pays for everything. ♪ these days are newark [cheers and applause] days of america ♪ t have to take...
