[cheers] ♪ >> brian: that was kid rock, right? >> steve: yes. >> brian: to put that -- kind of just shocked me a second. i didn't know we were just going to end so abruptly i don't. get any music at all. put that in comparison with president biden's tiktok account. trump leads by more than 3 million followers. i wish he didn't join. come on. chinese get everybody follows the president. thought chinese is going to get their background. >> ainsley: in tough position. great way to campaign. some young people. >> take an ad out in the gap. people go to the gpa, don't they? >> steve: to brian's point pick a lane. if you are against something don't join it. both sides say, biden and trump have said it's the end of civilization for most part but they are part of it because that's where the eyeballs are. >> lawrence: that's where the young people are. >> brian: x. friends with elon musk now? >> ainsley: is he on x. is he on truth social. >> brian: he doesn't do anything. >> steve: steve. >> lawrence: the problem with x only media people. not the american public at large. >> ainsley: young people are on take. our age instagram. >> steve: facebook as well. >> brian: 827,000 mee media people following me. he got to be something he got 10 million. >> steve: i think i last posted something on x when i was it twitter i think 2016. >> ainsley: that was the last time you posted on x? >> steve: 2016 or 2018. i just stopped. if i want the news i turn on thissible that. over the weekend rachel, and pete and will sat down at the the president's place in bedminster, new jersey for a wide ranging interview. >> ainsley: first interview after being convicted. watch a little bit of this. we will be playing different clips throughout the morning but here is some. >> pete: this is your first interview against the verdict. it's been 48 hours. where is your head at? >> look, i'm fighting tort constitution. i'm fighting for the same thing as you three. i watch you all the time. same thing do you you fight for freedom. you fight for your country. these people are sick, they are sickle. they are deranged. i talk about the enemy on the outside and the enemy from within. you have china, china, you have a smart president you always handle him quite easily. we have a lot of advantages. the enemy from in, they are doing damage to this country. they want open borders. they want high interest rates. they now want to quadruple your taxes. all my life i watch politics it was always like politicians want to lower taxes not quadruple them. there is a whole sickness going on right now. so it was a tough venue. we tried to get out of the venue. we tried to get out of the judge. we tried to get out of both. wouldn't even think about it. so we had probably maybe the worst area in the whole country for me in terms of vote. i'm sure if i sat down and explained it to that section of the world we could probably make progress but one of the worst sections. they always bring them to these sections, d.c., there, places where republicans, not just me, republicans get like virtually no votes. but, the good news is that i think we have set a record beyond all records for fundraising. that's like a poll. and another one just came out just before i got in that were 6 points higher than we were before. so i don't know if that holds up. i mean, i'm just not sure. people get it. it's a scam. and the republican party is really -- they have stuck. they stick together in this. it's weaponization of the justice department, the fbi,. >> will: i'm sure you have seen the video of joe biden when he was asked about the verdict and he gave a smirk to the camera. >> terrible. remember, bragg didn't want to do the case. he came out. he said there's no case. how can you have a witness like so and so. i'm not allowed to mention the name, can you believe this? this guy is allowed to have shows, television shows. i'm not allow to mention the name. it's so unfair. regardless, you have to -- you have to really play the hand that you are dealt. and then you had a jury that was from a certain persuasion. would have been hard to do, no matter what. but, i did absolutely nothing wrong. i mean, absolutely. think of it. you know, i hate what they say bookkeeping this and that. it's not. it's called -- think of it. expense. i use the word expense. legal expense. i pay a lawyer. he wasn't a fixer. he was a lawyer at the time. i pay a lawyer, and is he a he u lawyer called legal expense. bookkeeper who has been with me for years marks it down as legal expense. i paid a legal expense, it's marked down as a legal expense. they say that's a fraud. they shouldn't have allowed certain people to testify. it was totally i don't think that they did that. everyone tells me this is the easiest case they have seen to overturn but they don't care. they want it to also a until after the election. only problem they have is so far my poll numbers have gone up. pete maybe can explain it to me. maybe will can, they are smart in texas, right? the poll numbers have gone up. substantially. >> will: you changed your tone at some point during the trial. i would say maybe a bit more hopeful in the beginning and toward the end you said something to the effect of even mother teresa couldn't be acquit in the this venue. was there a moment that it turned or you saw it was headed in a certain direction? >> when your lawyers object to something. nice people, you know, i have had a lot of lawyers that weren't nice, and sometimes better off that way. these are fine people. not accepted. not accepted. when the government, meaning the d.a., bragg, when he said something, all right. good. that's fine. go ahead, more, more, more. think of it. but the main thing is this was turned down by the southern district. this is over -- this could have been brought seven years ago. they tried to rush it because they wanted it before the election. this could have been brought seven years ago but they didn't have any intention. a case like this has never been brought before. and never a case where a state has gone after federal election. in other words, that's for like the southern district to go. southern district turned it down. we got clearance from the fec. federal election commission clearance. they are suing saying we violated the thing but they gave us clearance. >> pete: we're going to move on to other topics too. moving forward, they have set the arraignment date for four days before the rnc. >> that's part of the game. >> it is. some have suggested you can appeal straight to the supreme court because of the special nature of this case. when it comes to the legal maze that you are still facing and the judge could decide to say hey, house arrest, or even jail. how do you face what that could look like? >> i'm okay with it. i saw one of my lawyers the other day on television saying oh no, you don't want to do that to the president. don't beg for anything. just the way it is. think of it. they have all my books. they went to -- four five years they sued me getting my tax returns, right? at the end of five years, they got them. the supreme court actually gave it to them. that was the end of it. that was it. they never found anything. >> rachel: some of your supporters have said well, the only way to stop this is mutually assured destruction. if you do it to us, we're going to do it to you. you said no my revenge is going to be success for america. you've just had this verdict. do you still feel the same? what's your thoughts on that? >> it's a really tough question in one way because these are bad people. these people are sick. and they do things that are so destructive, i mean, look what they did from the day i got there -- and i don't know, you know, a lot of people said we have no choice but to elect trump, republicans, because he is the only one that can withstand. this don't forget if it weren't me they would be going after somebody else. i know at love the competition they wouldn't do so well. they wouldn't be doing so well. >> will: you just love life and you care about this country. people can we do you do this how do you do this? not to mention the rally after the rally. the energy. maybe the question how do you do this but how does your family do this? all the object stacks. these are things you care about. your ambitions for the country? what about everybody around you. >> i think on many ways it's tougher on them than me. they are good people, everyone, everyone. i have a wonderful wife who has to listen to this stuff all the time. they do that for this reason, they do that -- all these salacious names that they put in of these people i'm not allowed to department of education myself because of the gag order these with bad people. i know every mo move they make. i get it. but a lot of people don't in many ways it's tougher on my family than it is on me. you know my sons are great. they work hard she has to read that you will crap. >> will: how is barron? >> is he amazing. tall, good looking. good student. applies to colleges and gets into everywhere he goes. sought after. from the standpoint very smart guy. very tall guy and is he great kid he is pretty cool. i will tell you. >> will: mr. president, have you had an eventful week. [laughter] we appreciate you joining us "fox & friends weekend" after new york. >> steve: that was very, very good. you notice at one point he was alluding to somebody, a witness, he couldn't say name, he's on tv that is because despite the conventional wisdom that the gag order would have ended at the end of the trial, the judge has not officially rescinded it. it's still in effect so he can't talk about witnesses or court people or the jurors. and it sounds like he was careful not to. >> lawrence: well, the most fascinating to me part of the interview was them -- going back to the trump administration, and back to the campaign rallies when people in the rallies used to say lock her up, referring to hillary clinton. >> steve: yep. >> he talks about why he decided not to do it. and so they asked him the question, obviously you just heard about, what would you do now since they targeted you, you let it go. and he talks about it being like a ufc fight of them going back and forth, people fighting back and forth and then they hug at the end of the fight he wanted to do the same thing for hillary clinton. the interesting thing like what should we do moving forward he? goes i don't know how to answer that question. i appreciate him answering that question honestly because he let it go the last time and it looks like now republicans are shifting and saying maybe it they do it to us we need to do it back to them. >> ainsley: he talked about who he is looking for and what is he looking for in a vice president. he said someone who would be a good president, that i would get along with. and who can help you get elected. and speaking of ufc. he was at the fight last night. walked in got a standing ovation and everyone started cheering "we want trump." >> brian: 18,000 people cheering his name and as joe rogan said he has never heard anything like it. very interesting because joe rogan has so much power. he voted for bernie sanders. if you listen to his show, his commentary, his open positive trump because he can't believe how bad joe biden is. i'm wondering if he gets that rogan interview after this. you hear rogan talking and donald trump reaching over and he goes, he said nice see you. he said how are you doing? nice to see you, sir, thank you. and whatever he complimented him. i'm very curious whether you have 18,000 people chanting your name well, it's just fight fans. just fight fans. can you name an arena in america where joe biden would walk into 18,000 people and cheer? let alone 100,000 in wildwood, new jersey, let alone thousands of people in new york city outside of trump tower right after. now, the polls so far they did some snap poll once cbs and nbc don't look as strong right now. got to wait of a few weeks to flush out. wait until after july 11th to find out what kind of sentence he will get over the weekend they were talking about various sentences if he gets house arrests or a situation where he has weekend arrest or if he actually goes to jail for a few months. can you put anything by this judge? that's the fascinating conversation. >> lawrence: i'm not sure he could do the walk. i'm not sure joe biden could walk from behind the arena, go through the crowd like that. >> brian: oh, no. >> steve: he could ride his bike but then again he might fall off. >> ainsley: asked you to send in questions for the weekend crew when they went into this interview with donald trump. we will have donald trump answering some of those questions. >> steve: lots of them. >> ainsley: much has not aired yet that will be in 15 minutes. the three of them are going to join us to hear what trump's opinions are about the border and drilling and future of america. >> steve: we have a very, very busy monday. three full hours and we're going to play a lot of the stuff. if you didn't see it yesterday, you will see it today. >> ainsley: great job to our weekend crew. big get. >> steve: indeed. >> ainsley: turning to your headline. starting with a fox news alert. two nypd officers are in stable condition after they were shot while they were confronting an armed suspect in queens earlier this morning. police confirming one officer was shot in the vest and another in the leg. both of the officers were taken to the hospital, a suspect is in custody. after they were shot in the ankle. and to another alert. hunter biden's federal gun trial will begin in delaware today as jury selection is set to start at 8:30 this morning eastern time. the first son faces three felony charges related to allegedly lying on a federal gun form in 2018. special counsel david weiss claims that hunter checked no to a question asking if he used drugs. a lye report from delaware in just a few minutes. and new overnight, the idf announcing they have found the remains of an israeli paramedic who they thought was kidnapped by hamas. they say he was killed during hamas' attack on october 7th when he left his home to, quote save lives according to military officials. they say hamas is holding his sister hostage. he leaves behind a wife and four children. now to a fox weather alert. a wildfire alert. firefighters are battling that massive fire. it's about 60 miles east of san francisco. more than 400 officials across the state are responding to that fire. it's already torched more than 14,000 acres. two firefighters were hurt and expected to recover. so far the fire is 50% contained. at least one house was destroyed and thousands have been ordered to be evacuated. the wnba is upgrading chicago sky guard kennedy carter's foul against caitlin clark after she knocked clark to the ground. the foul was upgraded from a common foul to a flagrant one after reviewed by the league. carter will not face a fine or suspension. the wnba is finding chicago rookie angel reese for refusing to speak with reporters after the game against indiana. they also find sky $50,000 after reese skipped the post game press conference. i didn't know that all the players have to participate. >> steve: they do. it's a requirement. >> brian: not just in wnba. >> lawrence: i'm here so i don't get fined. >> ainsley: wibut he wouldn't answer the question? >> lawrence: love aggressive basketball and sports. i do not like dirty sports. and i think they are only going to make her a bigger star by doing dirty plays like this. this is just -- this contributed nothing to the game doing something like this. >> brian: by the way they lost by 1. >> steve: commentator said the problem for caitlin clark none of the rest of her team is protecting the star and so stuff like that happens. you got to wonder when she sitting there on her bottom. look up whether or not she is thinking college was so much easier than the wnba. >> she said she wasn't expecting it. she said it is what it is, it is is a physical game. >> brian: i remember when david beckham joined. >> everybody wanted to play los angeles. and we have to travel all over the country because of you to get more money. caitlin clark being in this league is getting the spotlight onto the wnba people checking the standings. on the worst league in the game. indiana, won second game on saturday. got crushed by 50 scored three points yesterday from. a pure pr standpoint that flagrant hit gets the league more interest today and then people are going to watch the next game to see if she is getting hacked again. i don't think it's unusual for a rookie to go through some type. >> steve: hazing. >> brian: a little bit of hazing. nothing wrong for that tougher anyway. the whole league should take a deep breath and say wow we are getting attention. finally quality athletes there. a lot of quality athletes. get osome more. next caitlin clark comes. in soon we will be watching other drafts. >> ainsley: the gm was tweeting on x and said basically we need to clean up this. this is not hot league is they were upset about what happened. >> lawrence: she has tomorrow brace it though. she can't complain about it. >> ainsley: she didn't. >> lawrence: and takes it on and i think she becomes a bigger star doing that. >> steve: well, she is the biggest star in wnba right now. when was the last time on a monday morning we started talking about the w nba. >> brian: chris talks about it every day but not on camera. >> steve: completely untrue. >> brian: former president trump answers your questions in exclusive. >> would you sit down for dinner with to discuss ways to unify our country?

alert. shortly this morning, hunter biden's gun trial is going to start in delaware at, let's see, 2 hours and four minutes from right now at 8:30 eastern time with jury selection. the first son faces three felony charges for allegedly lying on a gun application. rich edson is live outside the court house in wilmington, delaware and joins us right now. rich, good morning. >> hey, good morning, steve, well, in the same city that president biden has his re-election campaign headquarters, his son is going on trial just a short time from now facing three felony firearms related charges here in wilmington delaware at this courthouse behind me. you've got the prosecution saying that hunter biden lied when he filled out a gun form back in 2018 on an application to purchase a firearm. hunter's attorneys say they will challenge that assertion. jury selection begins in a few hours about. 250 potential jurors will start this process until they are narrowed down to 12-plus alternates. they will face questions about how they may have followed this case and whether they see a connection between this trial and the fact that hunter's father is the president of the united states. hunter spent the weekend with his dad at a beach in rehoboth. including on bike rides. the president is expected to speak with hunter daily during this trial about two to three times for man usual. that all according to the "new york times." special counsel david weiss' prosecution team has signaled they may call about a dozen witnesses which could also include hunter's ex-wife kathleen buel and hallie biden who is beau biden's widow. beau is hunter's brother. hallie was once involved with hunter after beau's death all meant to build the case hunter was abusing drugs when he filled out that form purchased and possessed a gun. hunter almost didn't makes it to a trial. his attorneys reached a plea agreement that congressional republicans called too lenient. fell apart when the judge appointed maryellen noriega started asking specifics about the deal. with involved hunter's tax charges. that will not be part of the case here. this trial here is only gun possession. the tax trial is set for september. >> steve: rich edson busy day in wilmington. thank you very much. our next guest covering hunter biden's scandals. you know her-mile-an-hour miranda devine joining us from wilmington. good morning, miranda. >> good morning, steve. >> steve: as rich just indicated wilmington, delaware that's where joe biden has got his campaign headquarters. every other federal building in delaware, it seems like has a biden name on it. i know the most popular rest stop on the turnpike on 95 is the joe biden rest area. joe biden's name is all over that state some are wondering whether or not people would want to go against the biden family. >> that's the $64,000 question. steve. and really, the fact that joe biden came here last night, everybody in wilmington knows when the president is in town roads are closed. flashing lights leading up to his house. his house the whole road is blocked off. and no one is in any doubt that the president of the united states is in town and keeping a very close eye on what judge maryellen nor ache can a is doing in her courtroom on each one of those jurors that are being chosen today display of being al alongside his is on the last two weeks. it's been extraordinary the number of sightings. right down to the bike ride at rehoboth beach on sunday morning. we have never seen that before. >> hunter biden closely trailing his dad, getting on and off marine one. on and off air force one at the white house in the rose garden state dinner. it's all sending a signal. you don't have to say anything. you just have to say mess with my son you mess with me. >> miranda out of nowhere he is never gone to his former daughter-in-law hallie biden's house never not once in his life i have heard from our white house correspondent and then he just shows up on the eve of trial kicking off. you are the expert about this. i have been readings a lot how david weiss presented it's a very simple case. he lied on the gun form. i have read that apparently his high dollar attorney abbe lowell who is represented many, many people in washington, d.c. what is he going to do is present to the jury two different gun forms. one of them was the original and one was from years later and somebody had written something on it. and it sounds like it may have been somebody from the gun store. is he going to suggest that somebody tamp erred with that and, in fact, just to create a doubt. and so then you have got wonder whether or not that's -- maybe this isn't such an easy case after all. >> well, look, if abbe lowell who is one of the most expensive and the most high powered attorneys in washington he will be trying to throw this reasonable doubt, the prosecution has a good answer for that question about the gun form just an additional driver's license or address added afterwards. abbe lowell is renowned as a jury whisperer. he is going to make this difficult and even though surviving is a trial is pretty low. the odds against donald trump the odds are stacked for hunter biden in this case. interestingly his own laptop that he abandoned and pretended was russian disinformation or stolen from him or hacked or whatever that, is the prime trial exhibit here key witness you witness former love, former sister-in-law hallie biden. she will hold the key, i think, to this case steve plus, in addition to the laptop. they have his memoir that he wrote where he talks about smoking crack. okay. are you telling the truth there or telling the truth here. it will be interesting to see. things kick off two hours from right now with jury selection. miranda, thank you very much. i'm sure you will be in the courtroom all week. >> thanks, steve. >> steve: you bet. ahead, president donald trump is going to answer some of your questions in a tv

that's sharon from alabama? >> so. i think it's good. i do very well with the evangelicals. i love the evangelicals. and i have more people saying they pray for me, i can't even believe it. and they are so committed and they are so believing. they say, sir, you're going to be okay. i pray for you every night. i mean, everybody, almost -- i can't say everybody, but almost that everybody sees me they say it. it's such a beautiful thing. do you know what's a beautiful thing, too. when you look at all of this bad stuff going on, they have nothing look up to. they have no god, they have no anything. they kill people, they beat people. they push people into subways. there is just nothing there. religion is such a great thing. it's -- it keeps you -- you know, there is something to be good about. you want to be good. it's so important and i don't know if it's explained right. i don't know if i'm explaining it right now. when you have something like that, you want to be good. you want to go to heaven, okay you?

>> so as a mom of four, it is really powerful to know what social media can do to children. i am also a ranking member from my conference on mental health. i asked for that assignment because it is incredibly important to us and to me personally that we monitor what is going on with our youth. and make sure that their mental health is intact. and that we do everything we can to support them and protect them. >> ainsley: you call the al gore algorithms. addictive to our children. explain how these algorithms work to parents that don't necessarily understand social media? >> the algorithms target children. they repeatedly send messages to them about different topics. whether they are gearing it toward. and they suck these kids in by sending these repeated algorithms. so the bills that are being proposed as i understand it, will limited ability for these companies to send the addictive algorithms between 12:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. so that children get a break from this. because that's what we all need, in my opinion is a break from the social media onslaught that we continue to get every day. and the other bill that you mentioned was the data protection act is just protecting their confidential information because some children will be logging in, giving their sensitive information. and you won't know about identity theft for years later and we need to do everything we can to protect them. >> ainsley: social media companies don't want. this a violation of free speech. when the siena college poll came out. this is who supports it. 69% of new york democrats do support this, 52% of new york republicans support it. 63% of all new york voters support this. the legislative session ends next week. will you all be able to pass this? i know you are not coming back until after the presidential election. >> that's correct. we -- our last day of session is officially supposed to be thursday. so the governor has some negotiating to do to get this through before we leave for the summer. and it's really in her hands to advocate for it. hopefully she will. >> ainsley: are you surprised you are getting so much support? usually democrats and republicans especially in this state don't agree. >> that's true. we're not usually on the same page, but i think because this is such an important issue i have lobbied actually for increasing the mental health professionals in our schools because our mental health for children is so critical to make sure that they are protected, that they are supported, and that we catch their issues before they become suicidal cries. and that is something that i hope every legislature will support. >> ainsley: senator, thank you for fighting for the kids. maybe more states will do this too. >> thank you very much sore ohaving me. >> ainsley: you are welcome. dr. fauci will testify on capitol hill today after transcripts were showing there were no studies to support social distancing or masking for our kids. dr. siegel is here. we're talking about practicing-- practicing good financial strategy. ...by cashbackin. what'd you think i was talking about?
