>> brian: i think he will, he walked into there press conference. >> lawrence: correct me if i'm wrong, brian, james biden not only his uncle, he is his business partner. >> brian: yes, who is accused of lying. >> ainsley: he would have to take cross-examination. >> steve: it would be brutal. >> brian: open the laptop. rick, what are we see something >> we are waiting on the arrivals, it is black s.u.v.s, defendant, hunter biden, his aunt and uncle, and we're waiting to see if first lady jill biden will be here. president biden is scheduled to be back in the white house this afternoon. we are anticipating jill biden will be here. only time she has not been at the trial is when she went to france for did sheing-day commemorations. we will find out if hunter will take the stand. we could get jury deliberation by this afternoon. if he does testify, there will be rebuttal. prosecutor is using text messages, hunter's audio book and testimony including his exwife and his ex-girlfriend. he swore on a form he was not a drug user. a conviction carries a fine and prison time. none of them saw him use crack in 2017, the month he bought the firearm. prosecutors introduced laptop into question. it did not appear to be tampered with. they are due in court in 12 minutes and we'll see who the defense will call, including hunter biden. >> lawrence: rich, i want to be clear on the reporting with amount of principles guarded by secret service. there is no chance of the president being there today, only the first lady? >> we don't have an indication that the president will be here. we are watch ing out to see if e will join. it has only been the first lady. we're watching that entrance. >> steve: bring in "fox and friends" news contributor and independent counsel sol wise wisenberg. >> good morning. >> good morning to you. >> steve: the big question, when thigh start things off in 10 minutes, should hunter biden take the stand in his own defense? could he undo all the bad stuff his family has said about him? >> conceivably, could he? i guess so. i wouldn't put him on the stand. if you're trying to play to a juror who might beic sympatheti to the president and his son, there is evidence of that. main reason i wouldn't put it on, we've seen what happened when you mutt him on. i think his team in front of the senate was a disaster. we know that won't go anywhere, but i don't think he did well. i don't think all of the partly cloudy r and hijinx he pulled, i don't think that went over well and i don't think abbe lowell wanted to do that, i think that was client driven. a >> ainsley: can't you be sympathetic and still think he's guilty? listen to witness testimony, his own memoir, he admits he was addicted at the time filling out that form. >> yes. if jurors listen to instructions, they are not supposed to let sympathy o overtake the evidence. you are in biden country and this family is popular and a lot of people have kids who suffer with addiction, there is always possibility you will have somebody who engages the jury nullification and have a much more favorable jury pool in delaware than former president trump did in manhattan. >> brian: say hunter, they do not put him on, what do you say? it is not his x in the box? not him in the laptop? it is and a witness says it was. this seems to be tough for defense to marshal any type of argument . >> you would think so, there is a motion every defense files, rule 29 motion for acquittal that says the government has not proven its case. it is almost always denied. abbe lowell filed three on behalf of hunter and there will be a fight over jury instructions. argument will be, you showed he used drugs before, you showed he used drugs after, he had just gotten out of detox, what evidence he was using or addicted to drugs and thought he was when he filled out that form. it may sound ridiculous, abbe is inventsive, they are trying to give a hook to the juror to say, look, they have not proven their case. >> lawrence: i'm curious with all the family in the courtroom, you have been on special co counsel, u.s. attorney ashes pointed by trump and you were not in the criminal case, what does it look like to you when all the family members being in delaware with that name and that political weight, is that bad or good for the prosecution? >> oh, i think they'd rather be in another jurisdiction. i don't think that is great for them. but they have a strong case. what i would be worried about if i'm on the prosecution team, if you get a conviction, will it st stand up because of the whole diversion agreement and whether or not that should have been in effect, whether or not the government breached that agreement. that is real issue on appeal. >> steve: if he does not testify today, court could start deli delinquent delinquent /* /* deliberating later today. >> lawrence: there is the first lady. >> steve: don't see the president with her, they probably have traveled together. thank you. now they're in and now apparently abbe lowell was going to think whether or not hunter would testify over the weekend and they'll talk about that in court. he was going to notify david weiss if he was going to testify. >> lawrence: what about today is different to have so many family members in the courtroom today? that is all speculation, there is way more family members today in the courtroom versus any other time. >> steve: if he does not testify, it is time for closings arguments and abbe lowell will say, look at his loving family. that is last thing they will see before they go in deliberating. >> lawrence: many he wrote about. >> brian: and the book on tape so he can't deny it. >> lawrence: former president donald trump hitting vegas to hold his first campaign rally since his new york tradition. >> steve: mr. trump looking to build support in nevada with the primary set for tomorrow. >> ainsley: and madeleine rivera joins us now. >> madeleine: after lucrative swing in california, former president trump went to vegas and rallied voters and heard trump take shots at his conviction. >> when he indicted me over nothing, they opened a whole new box and i got indicted again and again, never been indicted like, i was like a ping-pong ball. happenings >> madeleine: fox news poll shows trump beating biden in the silver state in a head-to-head match up. he made news by saying he won't charge taxes on tips, that is massive for the industry in vegas. he did not mention on stage, trump went on x to support sam brown, a fearless american patriot who has grit and courage to take on enemies both foreign and domestic, biden campaign reelection, politico reports changing course from reengaging black voters to the border to quell concern regarding his reelection prospect. they said the ramp up was long planned. >> steve: thank you. >> brian: what a three days president had. goes to silicon valley and gets 12 million and huge capacity crowd in newport beach and does this in nevada, has to be a big lift to see the crowds and the money. he trails joe biden in total cash by 36 million. he's in the game now and has ability to build infrastructure in battleground states. i don't think it is there yet. >> steve: something he did yesterday, injected issue of taxes in the debate. who thinks their taxes are too low? nobody. >> ainsley: especially for that group, service strae in nevada. >> lawrence: been hit hard. >> steve: he would like to eliminate taxes on tips, he would have to do it through congress. mr. trump would need a republican congress and he can get stuff done. 2017 tax cuts -- >> lawrence: that will be up. >> steve: has to happen in congress. republicans have one idea and democrats have -- >> ainsley: democrats might want to say, we tried to reduce your tachs and don't want you to pay, you barely make enough money as is. we will not charge tach on tips. >> lawrence: problem democrats are going to have, that tabs cut combaf most americans a tax cut. they want to tax the rich. they would have to reverse the bill. what i find refreshing, having a candidate for president willing to talks about policy. there has been talk about the border and what heun was to do and talk when it comes to taxes and foreign policy perspective where he stands and what will happen. you don't get that from joe biden. you get papers from the white house staff and hear stuff every wons in a while, but talking off the cuff on what he plans to do and push the nation forward, you don't hear from joe biden. all you hear is that donald trump is the worst thing yet, he will take america back. you don't hear what he's going to do. >> ainsley: i like he called it the party of common sense. people say, it is common sense, close the border, you don't want another terrorist attack, you don't want illegals here, we can't afford to pay for our own families. he kept asking are you better off under biden or trump? first time in our lifetime we can compare two presidents that have been president. >> brian: at benigans they said you have to enter your tips because of reagan. i said, i'm not going to. after a while, i entered 0. i don't think tips should be taxed. it is not up to you. you had obligation to pay. no one explained that to me. >> ainsley: a lot of people lie, $5 $ten, when they take home. >> brian: zero, none of your business. >> steve: when you were working at benigans, how many times did people order chicken wings and asked for right wing, not the left. >> brian: they would scream at me. john tapper would yell at me. >> ainsley: i would think i'm getting punked and feel stupid, is there right and left? >> steve: there is a right wing and a left wring. >> lawrence: i love brian con confessed to not paying taxes. >> brian: i was like 16, none of your business. >> lawrence: i agree with you, by the way. >> ainsley: that is why benigans failed, they were paying your tax bill. >> lawrence: u.s. is calling for un security council to vote. >> brian: after idf daring rescue over the weekend. trey yingst live from tel aviv. >> trey: four hostagesress cued from hamas captivity. at a hospital israeli civilians reunited with loved wops. new video reveals what the rescue looked like. intense gun violence and h helicopters take the hostages to safety. one mother explains what she thinks. we are happy to see him. >> trey: this was day of hope, for palestinians, day of destructionion. nearly 300 people, mostly civilians, were killed. now as we gather more inform algz about what took place during this raid, there was a political shake-up in israel, two members of the israeli resigned from their position in the emergency government. back to you. >> brian: they want gallant to quit, too, defense minister, will he? >> right now these two previous members are urging defense minister gallant to step down and try to force prime minister netanyahu into election. we don't have any indication he will agree to that and over the weekend i spoke to a top adviser to gallant who said he is focused on defeating hamas and looking to hezbollah. >> ainsley: so glad the hostages came home. >> lawrence: we've been seeing protests, ceasefire, and now deal is on the table, why won't they tell their friends in hamas to take the deal? hamas said they will not sign the deal and continue to march in the street and say ceasefire. i hope this changes, not as hopeful it will change rhetoric in the street now that the deal is out there. >> brian: they are trying to pressure hamas higher-ups at qatar to take the bills and joe biden said pressure them and hamas walked away. >> steve: see how long qatar keeps them in qatar. ca carley joins us with terrible news. >> carley: america's crime crisis, georgia congressman mike collins revealing a staffer and his friend were robbed over the weekend. both are safe, the suspects did steal a watch. collins adding, our nation's capital has become a war zone because of d.c. government. police believe the vehicle has been involved in several armed robberies across the city. and day three of bob menendez federal corruption trial. a business man claimed he bribed him to protect his friends and family from a similar investigation. menendez is accused of accepting gold bars, cash and a car in re return. couple beaches on florida expand reopened after a woman and two teens were hurt in two separate shark attacks on friday. a woman was so hurst part of her left arm was amputated. less than two hours later, two teenagers were attacked, one is expected to be okay and the other was airlifted to the hospital. pray for swift recovery. four people hurt when a bull broke loose and jumped into a stands during a rodeo in organization. take a look at this video. ♪ >> oh, oh. >> heads up. >> oh, my gosh. >> open the gate, boys. >> carley: that is crazy. rodeo officials say the bull headed back to the holding pen and leaped over the fence. handlers got things under control. everyone is expected to be okay. i know they have a story to tell they were in the rodeo when that happened. have you ever seen anything like that before?
