Take you to the epicenter of the border crisis where some migrants wait hours before ever encountering Border Patrol agents. And additional women accuse Sean Diddy Combs of sexual violence. Bret but, first, the push for third party voters is on. Libertarians are getting a real taste of the 2024 president ial campaign this weekend. Presumptive republican nominee former President Donald Trump addresses the National Connection in d. C. Tomorrow. Today independent candidate robert f. Kennedy jr. Tried to convince the audience that he is a viable contender if he got the libertarian nod. R. F. K. Jr. Could quickly qualify for all ballots. Senior National Correspondent rich edson starts us off tonight. Good evening, rich. Rich hi, good evening, bret. Well, those two president ial candidates are addressing the Libertarian National convention this weekend to try to convince these americans to vote for them. Problem is, neither is running as a libertarian. And in a president ial race with a tight swing state polling, these third party voters could make all the difference. We are a Libertarian Convention looking to nominate libertarians. We do not need to give that time to nonlibertarians. But former President Donald Trump and independent robert f. Kennedy jr. Are taking time here this weekend to court libertarians at their national convention. The same principle that lies at the heart of the Libertarian Philosophy is a principle of respect. It is the respect for each individual. [applause] as a full and sovereign being. Trump is scheduled to address the convention tomorrow night. Last night he spoke at a rally in the south bronx. Were going to win new york. If we win new york, the election is over. Trump and kennedy have intensified their political rivalry. Trump has called r. F. K. Jr. A democrat plant in and a radical left liberal. Kennedy says trump was unhinged. Kennedy is also pressing trump and President Biden to debate him. This week kennedy posted on x, quote x is where the debated should be. Do you want to call potus or should i. When asked whether trump would debated kennedy. The campaign would only say the former president looks forward to the Libertarian Convention where he will share his vision for a free america. Biden campaign say only biden and trump have a hot winning the election the debated should only be those two. R. F. K. Jr. Is officially on the ballot in seven states and says it has enough signatures for Ballot Access in 8 more. All accounting, th they say for 208. They will be on enough State Ballots and new marquette poll have three of the National Polls they need to qualify for the cnn debate it. Shows in five way race among registered voters trump receives 40 . Biden 37. Kennedy 17 while the Green Party Jill stein and independent cornel west get 3 each. N a two way race between biden and trump, that same poll shows they are tied at 5050. Fox news poll from the same period shows kennedy getting 11 Percentage Points in a five candidate race. Bret . Bret rich edson at the Libertarian Convention. Rich, thank you. While former President Trump campaigns, President Biden will spend the Holiday Weekend at his delaware home. This comes after President Biden did receive some criticism about his presentation at that News Conference at the white house yesterday. White house correspondent Jacqui Heinrich has details live from the north lawn. Good evening, jacqui. Jacqui good evening, bret. The Biden Campaign is still shrugging off the polls and looking instead at happier numbers like infrastructure they have built in swing states. And they deny their backward looking messaging strategy has anything to do with Voter Unhappiness about bidens agenda. I dont think that it is a defensive posture that we are campaigning against donald trump and highlighting how extreme he is. Jacqui gone are the days of hope and change and yes we can President Bidens Reelection Campaign is leaning into dark messaging ahead of next months debated. The road to atlanta memo highlights unhinged pursuit of retribution make sure the voters reminded of the chaos and harm trump caused as president and why they booted him out four years ago. Expect to hear very little about top voter concerns about the economy and immigration but lots about abortion, january 6th, and dictators, including from people like robert deniro. If i dont get elected its going to be a bloodbath. Trump wants revenge and he will stop at nothing to get it. Im joe biden and i approve this message. Making trump less likeable may not help bidens own numbers a new marquette poll ranking biden and harris first and second for unlikability. Contribute trumps edge to voters short memories. He is not on twitter. Is he not allowed on twitter. Thats why we are not seeing him. His rallies are not covered. Once the biden gets out there and spends billion dollars on tv remind hog trump is i think voters are going to remember thats the guy we dont want. Trump, for his part, is going to make Biden Stand Up to him, literally. Today they said we would like to set up tables to you sit down. I said i dont want to sit down for a debate. Were going to be standing up for the debate. Polling guru nate silver said if biden is trailing by three points in august he will be a big underdog and if its 5 or 6 points, its unsalvageable and biden at that point should consider stepping aside, bret. Bret jacqui line like live on the north lawn. Thank you. New information concerning that story we broke last night about Security Concerns near major u. S. Installations.

Bret . Bret its a bizarre story. And there is concern, especially from those families down there, those special Operations Forces. Jen it, does come as we are hearing about uptick in what appear to be probing incidents or surveillance at u. S. Military bases across the country. Thats right, bret. Special Operations Forces have reported many suspicious surveillance activities of them and their families as late. Probing near Military Bases. Earlier today the u. S.

Our viewers would remember that that laptop, 51 former intelligence officials back in 2020 before the election said that it was russian disinformation, turns out it was not russian disinformation. Hunter biden will be back here at this whippington, delaware courthouse on june 3rd. We did learn today in court a session that lasted about two hours some of the evidence that would be presented. Special counsel david weiss who charged hunter biden says the laptop will be entered into evidence. Hunter bidens attorneys vigorously tried to get the laptop out of evidence. We dont know yet which parts would be submitted. Weiss, in a brief to the court said the defendants laptop is real. It will be introduced as a Trial Exhibit and it contains significant evidence of the defendants guilty. Moreover, the evidence on his laptop is corroborated by independent sources. Hunter was inside court today watching his attorney abbe lowell hash out lastminute details. President s son is charged with three Felony Counts of lying on a gun form in 2018 when claiming he was not a drug users. Local dropped quite a theory that hunter did not check no to being a drug user on federal firearms form it. Needs to be examined whether other people may have filled out the form, pointing to the chain of custody. The special counsels confidence that hunter was the one who checked no in the box. Judge Maryellen N Noreika ruled indictment and tax cases pending in California Cannot MentionChild Support case in arkansas or discharge from the navy. This trial judge is the one who tore up plea deal last summer. Critics called a Sweetheart Plea deal it. Would have had hunter biden guilty of two misdemeanors and avoid felony gun charges.

And the Washington Examiner reports Border Patrol has now lost more than 4,000 agents nearly a quarter of its workforce since President Biden was elected. Largely due to retirements.

We make them a top priority, by getting to know their finances, family, health, lifestyle and more. other Money Manager wow, maybe we are different. Fisher Investments at Fisher Investments, were clearly different. I woke up. I said i wonder will it be hostile or will it be friendly . It was beyond friendly. It was a love fest. We are focused on doing the work and part of that is communicating to voters exactly how dangerous donald trump is to democracy and the threat that he poses. We are going to win new york, if we win new york, the election is over. We take over the country. Donald trump and his selfaggrandizing, his grandiosity and then utter failure to deliver on what he promises is not a news story. Bret well, former President Trump obviously in the south bronx. You saw it here on Special Report last night. Meantime, the latest real clear politics average, the polls in the Battleground States shows the former president doing well in really across the board, wisconsin has a slight biden lead in the latest polls. But you see there in arizona, in georgia, even in michigan a slight lead and pennsylvania. Where are we on this race right now . You know, most people Pay Attention about the time it gets to labor day as we head into formaldehyde weekend, thats just not every race. This race we will have a debate june 27th. Lets bring in our panel trey gowdy congressman from south carolina. Axios political reporter stef kight and Matthew ContinettiAmerican Enterprise institute. Do you get a sense, trey, where this race is now as we head into the summer months . It seems like its accelerating. Obviously as i mentioned we will have a debate at the end of june. Its unbelievable. It used to be labor day. And now its year around. I think its going to be incredibly close, brit. I think its going to come down to a handful of counties and maybe a couple of states. We, you know, you and i are going to live in a 50 50 country. Bret. I hope one day we dont die in a 50 50 country. We are currently living in a 50 50 country. I dont see that changing. Bret yeah it. Does seem that Wait A Minute by the way, this election is very important when it comes to the house and senate, too. Thats all on the table. This is a very consequential election come november. Stef, the former president is right, that if he won new york, it would be the ballgame. A lot of people are saying he probably is not going to win new york, but is he expanding the map in other places. And clearly that rally Last Night In The South Bronx is having exactly. The chances of the former president winning new york are very slim. It is still an incredibly blue state. But the fact that he did go to the bronx goes to show just how seriously he and his campaign are trying to court a new block of voters. They have made a Very Con Certed Effort to win over nonwhite voters, very multi racial crowd showed up there especially for a trump rally it. Really does show us that he is taking that seriously, that theyre going to lean into that. They are trying to expand the kind of voters that are willing to come out and vote for the former president , even if new york as a state is not really on the table. We are seeing him win over more and more voters that in the past would be unlikely republican voters. Bret im going to turn topics, matthew although deals with the president ial race. Gas prices being high usually effects a president ial race. Former Energy Secretary rick perry on with maria bartiromo, take a listen. The reason Gasoline Prices are up is because this administration put policies into place that strangled supply. And when you dont have the supply, the cost goes up. Thats just simple economics. They know that. But they are scared to death of the left and the environmentalists that are putting pressure on them to stop the fossil fuel industry. Bret so the administration is now going back to the Strategic Petroleum reserve, matthew. And the Biden Administration announcing this week 1 Million Barrels of northeast reserve established after Super Storm Sandy in a bid to lower price at the pump this summer. The sale from Storage Sites in new jersey and maine allocated so, again, they are tapping this in an effort to change the dynamic with gas prices. Well, its an absolutely reckless policy, bret. Makes me wonder what would happen if we had an actual emergency, another arab oil embargo, where would we be with the way the Biden Administration has recklessly abused the Strategic Petroleum reserve. I think the Gas Price Issue speaks to a whole bunch of grocery bag bread and butter issues that American Voters are facing. The cost of living under biden has risen. Five fold. 20 . And voters, no matter what their race or k ethnicity. Fox rally was a bold. Bret the former president has talked about his v. P. Picks and that brings us to a place we go to every week and that is candidate casino. I wait for the Roulette Ball to start rolling. Have you got 100 in chips. This is for v. P. Pick for former President Trump, trey, where are you putting your chips . 40 on tim scott. 20 on elise stefanik. Tim on tomi cotton. Tim on j. D. Vance. 10 on doug burgum. 10 on mike pompeo. I have no idea what adds up to, brett. Im used to keeping track. Running a deficit. I could be out of money. But thats it. Bret thats all right. You placed some bets. Stef, 100 buck. Im going to put 40 on j. D. Vance, 30 on tim scott. 20 on marco rubio, and im going to throw 10 for Tulsi Gabbard as kind of the less likely but maybe well see a surprise pick. Bret all right. Matthew, wrap it up. Despite some issues with residency, i still think marco rubio is in the mix. Im going to put 40 on him. There is a new entry in my casino and this is doug burgum the governor of north dakota. Burgum mania is real, bret. Im putting 60 on the governor. Bret wow, big bet on burgum. Wow, we will track this and play it back later. Thanks. Bret breaking tonight. A new mexico judge has just rejected a request by alec baldwin to dismiss the sole criminal charges against him in that Fatal Shooting in the movie set in 2021. The judge upheld indictment charging baldwin with one count of Involuntary Manslaughter in the death of the cinematographer.

Call or go online now and get 35 off your first order. Has all the classic earmarks of a Russian Campaign in the way it was disseminated and propagated through media. Do you regret signing onto the letter. Absolutely not. Those words are still true. It has all the classic earmarks. Outcome of the election. Absolutely not. Hunter biden said it was his laptop and this investigation continues. You dont have any regrets about doing what you did . No, i dont have any regrets about not trusting the russians. Bret those are two of the folks who signed on to that letter. 51 former intelligence officials. Remember that politico headline october 19th, Hunter Biden Story is disinfo, dozens of former intel Officials Say that was the letter that was cited by then vice President Biden in that debate. Well, in a recent court filing, the Justice Department emphatically states the hunter biden laptop data is real and they plan to submit it as evidence, this is against hunter biden. The defendant has had the laptop data in its raw original form since september 2023, provided the government with no evidence of its manipulation or alteration. Provided any evidence has not provided any evidence or information that shows his laptop contains false information and the governments evidence shows the opposite. The defendants laptop is real. It will be introduced as a Trial Exhibit and it contains significant evidence of the defendants guilt. David weiss, the special counsel. Thats a full circle. Back with the panel. Trey, thats quite something. A little late. Trey John Ratcliffe and chris wray told us immediately it was not russian disinformation. Shame on everyone who signed that letter for political expediency. That said, bret, go forward on the taxes. Go forward on corruption. This is a pretty weak gun charge. I dont like when President Trump is signaled out on a weak misdemeanor in new york. I dont think biden ought to be prosecuted on a weak gun case. Bret matthew . I think the real lesson to be drawn here from what happened, bret, this will happen again. It will probably happen last year like it did in 2020. Some time in 2020 some type of narrative being pursued that trump is a russian asset. I think its very important for people in the media to be incredulous and to report fairly and accurately about whatever comes out of Intelligence Community in the final months of the campaign. Bret stef, were going to get winners and losers right now. Save time for everybodys winner and everybodys loser. Starts with you. Winner first . My winner is a little bit counter intuitive. I did choose Benjamin Netanyahu because we have seen such defense of him after a while of Democratic Leaders kind of antagonizing him over the icc attack. And request for an Arrest Warrant so he seen a lot of support for him this week from both sides of the aisle. And then my loser for this week is senator chris murphy who brought his bipartisan border deal to the floor. Yesterday it failed and did not even get support from the two other senators, republican and independent senators who hashed out that deal to begin with. Bret okay, trey, winner and loser . The loser, brian gillis, Louisville Police officer who arrested scottie scheffler, failed to turn on his body cam and has the worst misconduct record than scheffler could ever dream of. My winner the people of portland who finally have a prosecutor after having to endure a fake one for so long. Bret okay, matthew, winner and loser . Winners are the class of the Naval Academy in 2024. Congratulations to all. Thank you to all who serve on the front lines of freedom for this country. My loser Northwestern University president Michael Shill who embarrassed himself while defending his actions and appeasing the prohamas mob in front of congress yesterday. The president needs to go back to school, bret, and learn some moral clarity. Bret there you go. I actually have a winner this week. Talks is alan who turned his Family Tragedy into strength he gave Valedictorian SpeechEarly College high school after attending his fathers funeral that day. Take a listen. I attended his funeral today right before graduation. Thats why my hands are shaking i carried him to his grave. And i cant stand up here and pretend i want to be doing this speech right now but i cant let slip away he worked so hard for me to achieve. Bret he said his shoes were muddy from burying his father but his dad would want him to deliver that speech. Thats some powerful stuff. Guys have a great weekend. Thank you. Bret all right. It is friday. Its friday. This has been a long week, hasnt it . Its time for notable quotables. Its a kangaroo court. Much more concerned that america make the right decision than any particular judge or jury or court. The last thing we should be doing is offering condolences to the butcher of iran. That said, we regret any loss of life. I dont give a flying adam schiff that guy is dead. You will be remembered as the butcher of palestine. We reject the iccs application for Arrest Warrants israeli leaders. Continue to see this schizophrenia of policy out of the Biden Administration because they really use polling as their authority. Bret you joe biden is the legitimately. You know he is president because he not only lives in the white house but only joe biden could screw things up as badly as they are. So i will be voting for trump. All my life democrat. But im voting for slump in foreign nationals is happening more and more. No Security Background check you are worried about who is crossing the border. Nothing but puppies and rainbows on the House Democratic caucus side. In case you hadnt noticed the world is falling apart. Anyone who thinks the second installment cant be as good as the first. Think of top gun maverick. Defense secretary there at the u. S. Naval academy thats one week covering this place. Monday on Special Report, we observe memorial day, look at the stories of three men who lost their lives fighting for our country.
