rhode island is in our rotation. pete: it is bigtime in our -- rotation. i don't know that i've seen a shot of maine. can we try to get one -- rachel: i've never been to maine, and i've always wanted to go. pete: really? rachel: yeah -- pete: people who are from there lo it. i've been once, maybe twice. rachel: ray i think i would only like it in the summer. pete: it's like minnesota, one of those places, beautiful in the summer. of don't go in's december. rachel: welsh david axlerod, by the way, you guys, was on bill maher's show, and joe concha and i just talked about it, but i want to get your guys' take on it. he's talking about how a lot of people are hopeful even on the democrat side that joe biden might step down because they're seeing a lot of weakness in that a candidate. but he says give up on that idea. listen. >> i like joe biden, and i worked with him and i was grateful to work with him, and i think he's done a lot of very, very fine things as president for which history will be kind to him. that's not the question with. the question is whether at this age he should have run. but he did run. and right now he is the nominee of the democratic party. voters nominate a candidate, they've nominated joe bide, and least not going anywhere. there's no delegation of elders, how do you find elders anyway -- [laughter] but there's no generation of elders who are going to go to the white house and tell him that he can't run. he is going to run. and one of the reasons they wanted an early debate, i'm sure, is to focus people on this is the choice. it's trump and biden. i mean, you can take the easy way out and say, well, i'm not going to vote for either of them, bun of those guys is going to be president of the quites. and people ought to focus on that and give with up on the sort of fantasy of, that there's going to be another candidate. rachel: i was fascinated by the line where he said unfortunately there's no generation of red elders to tell him not to run. which means they kind of wish there had been somebody that could tell him not to run are. but, obviously, he and clearly jill biden said i don't care what the obama team who's running everything says -- pete: that is the most vealing part of the clip. rachel: totally. pete: there's enthusiasm there. clearly, with behind the scenes under their breath on the democrat party side, they're wishing they had anyone, someone other than joe. or a way out of the joe box. and he mentioned 1968, and he -- i didn't know this, but he alluded to the fact that they've changed the rules in a way that they can't, a small council of party leaders can't just manipulate the convention and, voila, you have a new candidate. it's become much more of a voter-based system. so once he's ap captured the nomination, the decision can't happen in the cloak room. it happens -- only joe and jill make that call. and they've made it pretty clear, it's us. so a switcheroo in chicago at the convention, highly unlikely. they're stuck with him. rachel: yeah. will: to your point, it's also just revealing how little faith they have in joe biden. and, of course, we know this because of the techniques and strategies being 'em. moyeed to insure that joe biden wins this presidential election. it's always under the guise of defending democracy and always under the reality of subverting democracy starting with removing donald trump from the ballot, to now using the judicial system and lawfare to try to manipulate an election. there's just no faith he can win at the ballot box. there's just no that joe biden can win this election, and i think that's even reflected in the way you propagandize and censor the public or the way you insult the public with a week ago kathy hochul calling people clowns, to this week i saw several analysts calling trump supporters who have rallied to his side after this conviction as members of a cult. rachel: right. will: there's just no faith in the public and to winning over the public. rachel: that they say things that joe concha said, he said axlerod is very close with the obamas, and this is a signal, to me, that any of those hopes about michelle obama -- i know i was one of the people who think, her husband saying that would be the logical person if they were going to switch out joe biden. he said ax aingrod is as close to the obamas saying, look, it's trump or biden means that michelle obama would not accept that switch anyway. and so that fantasy is gone as well. that was joe concha's take on this. pete: it was interesting to hear biden at the white house when he talked about the middle east a. by the way, the press conference he did, they could have made their middle east announcement whenever they a wanted to. they're trying to create a bifurcation of donald trump's stuck in new york, and i'm looking like a statesman trying to solve middle east paris. -- e peace. it's not going to work. he mentioned how dangerous it was. notice the word dangerous -- will: yes. reckless. pete: to talk about the fact, ecless and dangerous that if you talk about the trial being rigged -- will: yes. pete: which is a signal for what? signal for misinformation. will: absolutely. pete: you've without to censor that, shut that down. rachel: and they did that with january 6th, around the electio- pete: correct. is lawfare was supposed to be their curveball. we're going to lock him up. that was how -- it hasn't worked. he's raising more money, he's going up in the polls. so what a do they do thousand? and elon musk has gotten underneath their censorship machine, because you can actually -- will: pete, i saw the same thing, and i heard the same language. reckless and irresponsible and dangerous. that was covidien language. pete: yes. rachel: 100%. will: all right, you saw this, robert deniro, weird press conference in front of the trial. i don't think he took questions -- pete: well, kind of did. will: a big show outside of donald trump's trial. you'll remember, this is what he did. >> -- trump, this kind of government will perish from the if earth. i don't mean to scare you. no, no, wait, maybe i do mean to scare you are. if he gets in, i can tell you right now he will never if lee. leave. he will never leave. you are gangsters! >> you're washed up. >> [bleep] you. [inaudible conversations] >> you're a nobody! >> [bleep] >> you're trash! rachel: so the national association of broadcasters had planned that they were going to give robert deniro an award in recognition of charitable work and public service is. you know, he's helped organize the tribeca film festival here in new york city, he's also on the 9/11 if board and some other sort of film industry-related charity. but after the outburst that you just saw right there, the national association of broadcasters said, well, we are a bipartisan organization, and we're no longer going to give him that award. here's their quote. they said this event is proudly bipartisan uniting those from aos the political spectrum to celebrate the impactful work of local broad broadcasters. while we strongly support the right of every american to participate in civic engagement, it's clear that mr. denear row's recent high profile activities will create a distraction from the philanthropic work that we were hoping to recognize. you guys surprised by this move? pete: a little bit, yeah. will: yeah. i mean, a mainstream broadcasting entertainment organization, you know, pushing back on -- they all a act like donald trump's an existential threat, and robert deniro's just giving it the most passionate voice. for them to say he's gone too far, yeah, i am surprised. rachel: do you think he should not get the award because of what he did there. >> i don't know. this would go into maybe, kind of a cancel culture type scenario. rachel: yeah, that was my -- i did not like that. pete: this is what conservatives do though. how dare you cancel our people, but when one of theirs gets canceled, you shouldn't be can cancel -- i think we're in a fight fire with fire type moment. will, to your point, it is strange. you aeroly see someone on the left an award being revoked because of political comments. most of these organizations that claim to be bipartisan are at a some level center-left, so it does surprise me. it's not really meaningful. i don't think he'll care. i think that event was indicative of how confused the biden campaign is. they don't know what to do. okay, so we weren't supposed to talk about the trial, but now we're going to send deniro down there with a campaign spokesperson to rabbit about how donald trump's never -- rant about how donald trump's never going to leave? they realize how poorly this is going, i think, and they're throwing curveballs at this point. it was not a well planned event. rachel: no, and i don't think -- he thinks he is new york, just like fauci thinks he's science, i think robert deniro was a little bit shocked by the reaction he got from people outside of, outside of that a courthouse. look, i don't like cancel culture. i do think we're in a moment, and i think we're going to see if this actually plays out with some of the republican prosecutors across the country. a lot of stuff that i've been hearing from people both online and, you know, in conversations that i've had is that a lot of republicans are, like, enough with mr. nice if guy. mutually assured destruction is the only way this stops. and so whether -- on the cancel culture front or in -- pete: or d.a. as going after democrats. rachel: exactly. maybe that's the only thing that will work. i do think people are definitely voting with their dollars, but i wonder if that's ever going to be enough. pete: i don't know. rachel: we'll see. all right. turning now to your headlines. gabby we e titos is forgiving her daughter's suspected killer, brian laundrie. she is now blaming his mother who she believes helped him evade the police before he took his wife with. as for you, roberta and i call you out individually because you are, evidently, the mastermind that a shattered your family with your evil ways. petito vanished in 2021 while on a cross-country road trip with laundrie, and he ended up back at a his parents' house in florida. authorities found gabby's body in wyoming weeks later. mexico is poised to elect its first female president tomorrow as voters will choose between claude a ya shinebalm and -- i'm sorry, can you guys bring that back down?

[laughter] pete: that's old school -- will: raise taxes in spooner to get some bridge cleanup. rachel: why would you -- this is, like, a very upscale prank, trader joe's is coming. [laughter] pete: will with, you were many france, which is very fancy, by the way. but i hear -- rachel: that's very fancy. pete: france pranked you. will: i told pete about this yesterday. my trip had its ups and downs. i would say without a doubt the biggest down was i, i think i'm an adventurous eater, okay, but i also want to go for something that looks homey. so we go to this cafeteria, okay? it was a department store type thing. raining, so i had to go inside. and i'm there and they've got some fried fish. oh, this is going to be, this is good. they had these big sausages, right? you know, i like sausage, i do -- pete: i love sausage. will: give me some jalapeno cheese sausage, so i said give me one of those. i got it on my plate and i went back, and i could tell -- it just didn't smell great. rachel: was it blood sausage? will: no. so i cut it open -- pete: there it is. will: that's it. i'm not sure this is cooked. it was a little pink on the inside. i was, like, so i cut it in the middle, it was the same color, pinkish. i'm going, this is the way it's supposed to be, and i took a bite. i'm not a queasy eater. i almost threw up in my mouth, rachel. i shoved it away from the table. the whole area, not just my area, the whole area smelled like an outhouse. rachel: what was it? did you ask what it was? will: an outhouse. and i looked closer, and and i could see rings. do you know what i'm talking about? i'm, like, did i just eat a tripe? do you know what it is? rave ray -- rachel: i've had tripe. will: my wife was, you've got to get that out of here. i went back and i go, what did i just eat? i go, what did i just eat? this is wick period what, generally made from the large intestines, or rarely seen outside of france and have a strong distinctive odor coming from the colon.

[laughter] it set me back now even talking about it. it's the worst smell ever. it's like climbing into an outhouse at a concert, a festival concert, and saying i'll take my meal in here, sir. [laughter] pete: will cain, the bum bum eater. well done, sir. put that picture back up. will: also, another prank, my friend just texted me -- i'm not dyeing my hair, we're in a new studio -- now your hair's black. pete: it is black -- will: i didn't dye my hair! rachel: you always said you wanted to be superman, so just own it. will: i'll take the hair dye over the do to loan sausage. pete: we found the kryptonite for superman -- [laughter] rachel: yes,es it is the. pete: red threat rising. china buying up u.s. farmland at a rapid rate. how washington is looking to take action. will: will congresswoman ashley hinson is leading the charge, and she's next.

because we've been talking about our -- fight? we've been talking about our farmland being bought up by the chinese for a long time now. i don't understand why this is still happening. >> right. well, rachel, we've really been aa sleep at the wheel for decades here. in just the last 10-year period from 2010-2020, chinese investment in american farmland, i think it doubled. so we know that we have a huge impact here on american farmland x. to set the stage a little bit, here in iowa about 10 years ago we had a chinese spy ring that was busted trying to steal our seed to take it back to china to reverse engineer it. they're buying up our a a g land, trying to undermineour entire system all while destroying the markets at the same time with unfair practices. so this is a bipartisan approach, absolutely, because i don't think this is a challenge for dem democrats or republicans, it's a challenge as a americans, and our farmland is one of our greatest assets here in the united states. communist e china should not own another ache aer of our land. it's about protecting our food supply, national security, and i'm proud to lead the charge. rachel: great. is so, congresswoman, you're not getting -- you're saying in congress both democrats and republicans are equally excited about your bill. >> absolutely. i think this is -- rachel: good. >> looking forward -- rachel: what's -- >> -- investment in farmland and what we need to track here. this is about a making sure our a a g secretary, no matter who it is, a republican or democrat, has a seat at the table to actually have the oversight necessary. this is about making sure treasury can use all the tools it has to track these foreign land purchases with more disclosures. we need to make sure we have a good track on not just chinese investment in farmland, but investment from our adversaries. we need to prevent that because what's to say at some point they couldn't just flip the switch ors right? and this is kind of a multipronged -- we know that land is one part of this equation, controlling the input and supply chain is another. so that's where we're trying to tackle this kind of all of the above approach here in making sure that a we can still remain competitive and protect our supply chain at the same time. rachel: yeah. i mean, food security is national security. it's unbelievable, what the chinese are doing. and as you said, we've been asleep at a the wheel. a lot of times these purchases, congresswoman, are being made by americans who provide cover through these, you know, corporations or some sort of arrangement so that the chinese are actually behind it, but it looks like it's an american buyer. does your bill do anything to punish americans who are involved in doing what i think would be treasonous transactions for the chinese? >> yeah. so this bill's more about a making sure that we have the tools to track, to go down a few layers, right? so with cfius, which is under treasury, this is the about those financial disclosure reports and investments, making sure we have a clearer picture of who is making those investments. when i mentioned it's important to know who our adversaries, can adversaries are buying this land, that's what this is about. it's about a communist china. it's about a iran, right? it's about russia. rachel: right. >> all of the entities that we think could be working together to undermine the united states. rachel: no question about a it. one last question. what is being done about the land that's already been purchased? as you saw on that map, there's a lot of acres already under the possession of the chinese. what can be done about that? >> yeah. well, i think the first step is trying to figure out how we buy it back with. i hope american investors and farmers are look at ways where are we can buy it back. i'm not sure what role the government will need to have in that. but when it comes to protecting our food supply and national security, i think this is an inherent public interest and we may need to step in in a more aggressive way. rachel: there's a war on farmers, it's hard for farmers to hold on to land, so there's a lot of angles to look at this. congresswoman, we're really happy you're on this. it's such an important issue. thank you for joining us this morning. >> thanks, rachel. appreciate thepp. rachel: you got it. well, it's one of vp harris' favorite things -- >> who doesn't love a yellow school bus?

>> it's really, it's sickening, isn't it? the one thing that our schools should be doing is providing children with the knowledge and skills they need to thrive in society, not to use it as a pasture for progressive priorities. schools are struggling to spend billions of dollars on critical race theory, athletic facilities. one district even bought aen ice cream -- an ice cream truck. why on earth do we think this is a good idea? pete: mandy, why on earth do we think this is a good idea? you were at the epa. is this a reflection of this obsession over climate by this administration? >> yeah, pete, you hit the nail on the head. this is about doing favors for pretty are call activists instead of doing what's right for america's children or for the general public health and safety of this country. this investment into clean energy buses as they call it is an absolute waste and reflective of their misplaced priorities. there are other programs and there are other technologies out there that actually do much more in terms of reducing emissions. you have propane buses that you can buy three for the price of one, you have a program called the diesel emissions reduction act that has been quite effective at reducing traditional pollutants which is what you talk about when you're talking about children getting on buses typically in an area where they are idling for some period. so this is just a gift to their donors that throws the health and the well-being of the american children under the bus in a very unfortunate way. pete: you know, nicole, mandy mentioned multiple times kids. but you can't help but look at this and feel like this is all about adults. the adults are the ones that get to feel good about a themselves because the buses are electric. the kids? i think can't read. >> exactly -- the kids, they can't read. >> we just saw this huge drop in scores as a result of teachers unions pushing to keep schools closed, and who did that disproportionately hurt? disadvantaged children. and so where were the equity warriors screaming when all these inner city schools were kept closed? they were nowhere. what could $900 buy in terms of making up learning loss? if let's bring those children up, not to give a handout to, as mandy said, the administration's friends. pete: mandy, you were inside government. something like the department of's -- it's not -- of education, it's not the department you were in, but is it reform,? is it about time to just scrap the department of education? >> well, it will require a significant reduction in the size of the work force and the reach of these federal bureaucracies. and that can absolutely be done so long as a we have the right leader. 9 and the right leader who started this back in his first term is president trump. and, hopefully, we can get him back in because with there's been a lot of people working on programs like one i'm affiliated with called project 2025 housed at the heritage foundation where we are coming up with a plan of action to go into the next conservative administration and to make these type of reforms first by fixing the personnel problem and then reducing a mixture and misplacement of priorities and do what's right by the the american people. pete: and, hopefully, we can scrap things like trek the -- electric school buses or, as i talk about in my book war on warriors, electric tanks which have created a9 cottage industry of defense contractors. they will not work in a a future battlefield. same thing here. nicole and mandy, thank you so much. looking out for the kids, which is what we should be doing. appreciate you. >> if thanks, pete. pete: you got it. all right. while a verdict has been reached, trump says his new york case is far from over. gregg jarrett on what's next and how long it will all take, coming up. ♪ if. ♪ i just wanna have some fun tonight ♪ if dancing all the way til last call. ♪ drinking in my hand, got mempr feeling right. ♪ it's been a long week ♪ becausl eases your pressure points in a way no other mattress can. for a limited time, save up to $500 on select tempur-pedic adjustable mattress sets. there are many ways to do things. at old dominion freight line, we do them this way. this way has people who start early. people who care and inspire each other to do things the way they should be done. this way uses technology (♪) and goes the extra mile (♪) to deliver your promises on-time, every time. this way is why we're the number one national ltl carrier for quality. for us, this way is the right way which is why it's the only way we go. i was on a work trip when the pulmonary embolism happened. but because i have 23andme, i was aware of that gene. that saved my life. ♪ >> the people of our country know it's a hoax. they know it's a hoax, they get it. you know, they're really smart, and it's really something. so we're going to be appealing this scam. we're going to be appealing it on many different can things. he wouldn't allow us to have beens, he wouldn't allow us to talk, he wouldn't allow us to do anything. the judge was a tyrant. rachel: that was former president trump vowing to appeal his conviction following his unprecedented trial in new york. will: sentencing is now scheduled for july911th, just days before the republican national convention, so how long will the legal battle last, and how will it impact trump's campaign? pete: fox news legal analyst gregg jarrett joins us now. gregg, you've been helpings -- helping us through this process. we'll leave that for another day. what does happen next? how in the world does this play out in an appealings -- appeals context? >> well, the word speedy, pete, is not in the vocabulary of the new york court of i appeals. you can't even file an appeal until after the sentencing, as you point out, july 11th. and even then the next level of appellate division is really a rubber stamp for judge juan merchan, same thing9 with the highest court which means that trump's only releaf in this -- real relief in this case can be found in the federal court because those judges, who are a lot smarter or, actually care about the right to a fair trial. and in this case, it's littered with reversible errors by judge judge merchan, especially due process violations. refusing to tell the defendant what this secondary conspiracy crime is, that ignores trump's sixth amendment right. and then telling the jury, don't sorry about unanimity -- don't worry about unanimity on which of the possible three uncharged crimes that are a predicate, that is shocking, such a bedrock constitutional right. but the legal theory itself was ludicrous. as you say, nobody really knows what they decided other than the verdict, an expired misdemeanor that comes to life thanks to an unidentified felony over which alvin bragg has no authority to enforce? as i said in a column, this was an al a lis in wonderland -- alice in wonderland case with a mad hat aer judge. rachel: yeah. will: gregg, two quick questions, if i could. you point out his only real relief would kohl in the -- come in the federal system. but even in the appellate system, gregg, i would be very kept can call he'd find relief in the second circuit court of appeals. it really wouldn't come, i would think, before the supreme court of the united states, unless he gets relief at the supreme court, i can't see where it will come. >> yeah, i think he has a pretty good chance in the lower appellate federal courts. but you're right, will, ultimately this could go to the u.s. supreme court. i think they would look very dimly at the actions of judge juan merchan. fair trial and a, you know, a venn withdrew of his peers? that didn't happen here. and as appointed out, these due positive rights are so important, and they were so egregiously violated, i can't see this case surviving judicial scrutiny in the federal courts. rachel: you know, it's interesting, the white house is already trying to roadway the groundwork for somehow -- lay the groundwork for somehow you're un-american if or it's taboo to say anything about how this was unfair. they want to make it the same way it was with the last election where, you know, or you're an insurrectionist if you suggest things were not on the up and up. i find that a very interesting. but i think the number one question that i've been getting from other people, they seem to think i know the answer, i don't, so i'm going to ask you with. is there a chance that donald trump will be either on house arrest or put in jail? i heard david axlerod talking about this on bill maher's show as well with. what, what do you think? >> no, i don't think so. first of all, it's almost automatic that you get a stay of any sentencen pending an appeal. but in this particular case, you know, it is the lowest level felony. and it was actually one crime that they decided to count stack by multiplying the number of invoices and vouchers in the case. that kind of count stacking, no honest, ethical prosecutor would ever do it. no judge who was fair or competent would have allowed it which, you know, excludes juan merchan. as to your other point, biden and the biden administration is saying you can't criticize this decision, this coming from a a president who more than any other president has trampled on the rights of free speech and has shredded the first amendment. remember, you know, this is, you know, biden was the guy behind the censorship on social media. of course, i have a right and everybody else has a right to say this case was rigged, it was preordained, it was not fair, and i don't care how much joe biden complains about that, the constitution protects us in our criticism of this case and this judge. rachel: yeah. will: gregg jarrett, thank you so much. pete: thanks, gregg. >> all right. pete: we're going to turn now to a few additional headlines starting with this: three of the four inmates who escaped a louisiana prison over memorial day weekend are now back in custody. deputies arresting the third escapee yesterday who was found in an abandoned house. he's one of threes capees who were serving time for a 2022 murder. authorities are focused on finding this man who was convicted on armed robbery and weapons charges. the four escaped by breaking through a fence, climbing you should a wall and scaling two razor wire fences. and we have a brisket bandit on the loose in wisconsin. security camera footage captured this unidentified man grabbing the brisket as a family was smoking it overnight. officers say he made off with 12 pounds of brisket. they're now turning to the public to help identify the brisket bandit. by the way, i made brisket over the memorial day weekend, unbelievable. will: yeah? rachel: i was just going to say, if you escaped prison, you would become a brisket bandit. pete: if i had to for my family, you smell the smoke, you know where it is. all you've got to do, follow the smoke. [laughter] and on to spring football with two exciting ufl games, the 128 battle hawks taking on the san antonio brahmas -- will: oh, my gosh. pete: it's brahmas, will.
