all right. we will continue to watch these pictures. top of the hour and right now hunter biden's legal team is making closing arguments in his criminal gun trial. hunter himself did not take the stand. he faces up to 25 years in prison if convicted on all three counts. at this pace, because the prosecution has finished closing arguments and the defense has begun, the jury could get this case before leaving tonight. hour two of "america reports." this case is moving at lightning speed. to be too good to be with you, i'm sandra smith in new york. the prosecution gave closing arguments i made it clear to the jury that only one things mattered when deciding the fate of the president's son is evidence. >> the prosecution open with a bang and this is what they did. they pointed to where the first lady was sitting, where all of hunter biden's family was sitting to support him, and they said this. the people sitting in this gallery are not evidence. to be able to present to the jury the sound of the defendant and his own words admitting to all kinds of drug use during the time period in which he purchased this gun which of course is against federal law." >> sandra: jonathan turley on developments in that courtroom. rich edson's live outside the court in wilmington, delaware. what's the latest? >> good afternoon, sandra. the defenses up making its closing arguments, you heard a little bit of that from carrie. as you mentioned, this thing is really moving quickly and there's a chance that the jury could begin deliberations this evening. when the prosecution began its closing arguments focused on hunter biden's active drug use from 2015 through 2019 and presented a summary of his text messages, bank records. prosecutors highlighted his ex-girlfriend and sister-in-law's testimonies of his drug use. they also said gordon cleveland, he's the firearm salesman that the quote only relevant witness from the gun shop" since he was the only person to testify he saw hunter fill out the federal form swearing he was not a drug user. all attempting to prove beyond reasonable doubt that prosecutors allegations that hunter was a drug user when he signed that form, bought that gun and possessed it for 11 days. prosecutors let off the presentation referring directly to biden family members including the first lady saying people sitting in the gallery aren't evidence that nobody is above the law. the defense is arguing that no witnesses testified they saw hunter doing drugs in october 2018. hunter's attorneys maintain he was drinking at the time, not using illegal drugs, and stressing drug use before or after does not prove drug use the week the week and a half that he had that gun. after the defense finishes its closing, prosecution has an opportunity to offer a rebuttal and then jury instructions and deliberations. if he's convicted, there's a maximum penalty up to 25 years in prison. $750,000 in fines. if he is convicted would be a first-time nonviolent offender. sandra. >> sandra: rich edson outside the court for us. thank you. >> john: let's bring in jonathan turley, constitutional law attorney and fox news contributor as well as a law professor. an esteemed one at that. this is moving quickly. this morning they had arguments and discussions as to whether or not hunter biden would appear. they decided that wasn't going to happen. the prosecution completed its closing arguments, another defense is going and prosecution will get a rebuttal and then it's off to the jury. from what you know of this, has abbe lowell in any way, shape, or form been making a compelling argument to the jury to a quick hunter are the very least go easy on him? >> i think the most compelling argument that lowell made to the jury was stating the last name of his client. this is biden town. i think if you look at the defense, this is just as clear as you can get for a jury nullification case. the defense that lowell put up in the opening argument collapsed within 48 hours. the prosecutors just made mincemeat out of these arguments. there was a series of them, all of them implausible. that's not the point. these are placeholders and they are hoping that the jury will nullify this evidence. they are not asking for the jury to -- they are asking for them to ignore the evidence. many -- all the juries said that they had experience with people with drug problems. it was very emotional testimony from hunter himself as to what he went through. but also you have a sizable biden contingent in that courtroom reminding the jurors that this is biden town. this was their hometown. i think the prosecutors are worried that no matter how strong their case they might not be able to overcome it. >> john: abbe lowell seems to be trying to thread a needle here to say okay, there's all this talk about drug use but in the time period literally down to the week that he bought the gun he wasn't doing crack cocaine or anything else. he was drinking. but if you sign "no" on that federal gun purchase form. to this idea, are you addicted to or using drugs, is it on that day? is it that week? or is it more in general? >> according to abbe lowell it appears the question was, are you doing drugs right now? he did this so that he'd have to be doing lines of coke on the revolver in the courtroom. obviously that's not the intention of the question. the government really slammed this argument by putting up texts that hunter put out the very next day trying to score, he said he was trying to score drugs with a guy named mookie. he had these witnesses that said when they saw him he was doing crack every 20 minutes. so you have this sort of immaculate period that lowell is suggesting where he might have just been drinking heavily. most people would say that's completely implausible. that's not the point of the defense. the point of the defenses to give some jurors an excuse to say "i'm just going to acquit," even though the defense collapsed days ago. >> john: all the data. i was on with dana perino earlier today on "america's newsroom." andy mccarthy does not think hunter biden is going to be looking at the inside of a jail cell. listen to what he said. >> looking at his potential sentencing guidelines it looks to me like even if he gets convicted here he's got a good chance of avoiding a prison sentence. >> john: what do you think, professor? >> i try never to disagree with andy and i don't disagree with that comment. i think the odds are that he will not get jailed. but this was an open and shut case and this defendant put this court through this trial. if he is convicted, some judges actually do not look kindly upon that. if you put everyone through a trial on a case that seemed strict liability, you check the box. some of them may feel you have to do a little time in jail even if it's a brief stint. i would not discount that possibility because of what he went through or put the court through by challenging overwhelming evidence of guilt. >> john: ten seconds on this. can you believe this is a guy who almost got away with a plea agreement that gave him lifetime immunity? >> yes, that's really incredible here. i think the defense is counting on the fact that you've got the wrong zip code as prosecutors. there is no way they're going to convict a biden in this courthouse but they can be wrong. those jurors taken also look at the evidence and the evidence here is unavoidably strong. >> john: we will find out probably sooner rather than later. professor, always good to spend time with you. >> thanks, john. >> sandra: all right, massive three-alarm fire at at miami apartment building has sent multiple people to the hospital here we are going to have a live report on the efforts to put that fire out, coming up. >> free, free, free, free palestine. >> john: thousands of anti-israel protesters decide on -- descend on the white house, leaving nothing but damage in their wake. steve hilton on that after the break. stay with us. yay - woo hoo! ensure, with 27 vitamins and minerals, nutrients for immune health. and ensure complete with 30 grams of protein.

>> john, good afternoon. national park service spokesperson tells us "unfortunately the park has experienced significant vandalism and graffiti predominantly affecting the statues." notable damage includes graffiti, damage to structures, damage to park resources in lafayette park. national park service staff are evaluating the extent of the damage. a source familiar indicates the national park service does not provide estimates of how cleanup and repair will cost. it's unclear when the cleanup and repair will be done. arkansas republican senator tom cotton pleated photos of statues desecrated by protesters on saturday. free gaza painted on a number of statues. cotton is calling on the justice department to investigate and if not, he says doj will next year. >> you have anti-american pro-hamas lunatics defacing and desecrating the statues of our great veterans which is a plain violation of federal law. joe biden's government allowed it to happen and i that were not going to see any arrests or prosecutions for violating that law. >> the president was out of town but that didn't stop thousands of protesters from rallying outside the white house on saturday. they dressed in red seeking to create a human redline around the white house calling for a cease-fire in gaza. vandalism and property destruction are not of course protected by the first amendment. john. >> john: no, they certainly are not. we'll see if anything comes of this. mike emanuel for us at 1600 pennsylvania. thank you. >> sandra: john, thank you. mike, thank you. let's bring in steve hilton. what's your reaction to those anti-israel protesters descending on the white house over the weekend? >> we call them anti-israel. that's what they claim. but really they are pro-hamas, pro-terrorism. let's be honest. they are pro-genocide. they use the word -- they constantly attack joe biden because they disagree with this policy. pathetically weak. they call him genocide joe. the genocide is in the minds of hamas. that's what they want. they want to eliminate the jewish state, it's very clear. that's what this effort has been about. the atrocities on october 7th and everything we've seen since then. these people are marching on the streets of our capital defacing our monuments in the name of genocide. we've got to be really clear about that. the fact that they just sort of lead off and can deface monuments and carry on as this is perfectly normal is not acceptable. we have to be really clear. what's happening now, on the left and in this country and around the world, they have completely lost the plot morally, completely lost the ability to be clear about the moral state here we have a terrorist organization seeking to wipe out the jewish people and the jewish state. speech of some of the reaction to all that including this from an msnbc analyst. >> war is ugly but in the case of this instance with a hostages are being held by a palestinian journalist, civilian, and palestinian doctor, these are not civilians. these are hamas ambassadors. >> sandra: i wanted to get your reaction to that and how the white house is handling all of this. this is vice president kamala harris warning palestinians killed on saturday and gets heckled at this event in midian. listen. >> we mourn all the innocent lives that have been lost in gaza, including those tragically killed today. for the past eight months, president biden and i have been working every day to bring this conflict -- i'm speaking right now. [indistinct shouting" i value and respect your voice but i'm speaking right now. >> sandra: your reaction. >> for goodness sake. the position of joe biden and vice president harris, it's obscene. it's insane to draw some kind of equivalence between the deaths of the palestinians there. of course it's true that we don't want anyone to die but let's remember who killed these palestinians effectively. hamas. they are responsible for every single palestinian death. they started this, they committed these barbaric atrocities in october 7th that the media and the left and the democrats want to sweep under the rug. they are responsible. of all the comments i found the most obscene was from the u.n. the special rapporteur on the conflict in gaza. i will read you part of her tweet. "israel has used hostages to legitimize killing, injury, maiming, starving and traumatizing palestinians in gaza." she goes on to say. this is what the u.n. repertory says. israel could have freed all hostages alive and intact, eight months ago. she's blaming israel for the hostages. she's basically saying that israel is responsible for its own people being taken hostage. this is an absolute moral mess that the left is in these days and we've got to be really clear. months into this it's getting worse, not better. you have the vice president and the president for their own political reasons. effectively siding with the palestinian apologists for genocide, it's absolutely disgusting. >> sandra: more reaction from last hour. michael oren joined us. the difficulty of separating civilians from hamas fighters in gaza. listen. >> these hostages that were released, that would not have happened if not for israeli commandos. they can enter furious fire from hamas gunmen. not only gunmen. hundreds of civilians have been given guns. the whole division between civilians and combatants in gaza breaks down. >> sandra: your final thought on that? >> exactly right. that's the whole strategy. the evil sick strategy of hamas. they don't care about their own people. they don't care about the palestinians. they are cannon fodder to them because they have this in session, this ideological obsession with destroying israel and this is what they want, they want this carnage. they think it helps their cause. pathetically, tragically, it is helping their cause. we have the apologists for their terror right here in our midst. not just a far left students on campuses and protesting in our capital but right there in the white house as well in the form of biden and vice president harris as we saw this weekend. it's such an absolute disgrace what's going on. >> sandra: good to have you want to get your reaction. >> thank you, sandra. >> it's 110 but it doesn't feel it to me, right? so we will stay out here for a little while. everybody was so worried yesterday about you and they never mentioned me. i'm up here sweating like a dog. >> this was your father. you take him in for neurological exam. that trump is senile, incoherent, crazy, offensive, outrageous. disgusting, evil, and convicted. >> john: the liberal media once again throwing jabs at former president trump following a sweltering rally in nevada. but it's a dry heat. what is it that it's the constant left-wing animosity for the former president. >> sandra: byron york here to discuss all that more. he will join us live right after the break. boring does. boring makes vacations happen, early retirements possible, and startups start up. because it's smart, dependable, and steady. all words you want from your bank. for nearly 160 years, pnc bank has been brilliantly boring so you can be happily fulfilled... which is pretty un-boring if you think about it. this is the easiest, non-toxic swap you'll ever make. lumineux toothpaste was made by dentists designed to break up plaque and remove any toxins in the mouth, so it'll deep clean your teeth and whiten your teeth without any sensitivity. find lumineux toothpaste at a walmart and target. dad is a legend. and his legendary moves might be passed down to you. ancestrydna can show you which traits were inherited, where they came from, and who he shares them with. but get movin', this sale is only for a limited time. >> sandra: new election results in the european union are showing a clear rejection of far left policies as voters delivered a major blow to several liberal european leaders. it even forced french president emmanuel macron to call a new snap election. alex hogan's live in london. she's got the details. alex, was macron expected to make this decision? >> hi, sandra. no, this was a complete shock but when he made after the initial results of this parliamentary elections. those results still rolling in today. macron spoke directly to his citizens saying that he hears them and he will not leave their questions go unanswered. [speaking non-english language] >> interpreter: i am dissolving -- >> all of this before the country host the olympics. the initial results of the cu parliamentary election. le pen vowed to turn the country around and cracked down on. data showing immigration, the economy, key concern for voters. italy, italian prime minister gloria maloney's conservative brothers of italy group doubled her party seats in the e.u. assembly and in germany, chancellor scholz's social democrats saw their worst ever results of about 14%, losing to the conservative opposition. in austria the right-leaning freedom party outperform the conservative party as well as the social democrats. there are 720 seats in the parliament that represent about 450 million people, giving you a scope of the magnitude of some of the votes and the importance of people making their way to the polls. >> sandra: alex hogan reporting live in london. thank you. >> it's 110 but it doesn't feel it to me. so we will stay out here for a little while. if anybody gets tired, you are let me know. and if anybody goes down, if you start going down, we have people. they will pick you up right away. they will throw water. do you feel the breeze? i don't want anybody going on me. we need every voter. i don't care about you. i just want your vote. i don't care. the press will take that say "he's had a horrible thing." >> john: [laughs] here in the states former president trump is coming off a sweltering rally. the critical battleground of nevada, the media was not to entertain with drums latest remarks pleasing the opportunity to call him "a liar and a threat to our country." >> this is what the biden campaign wants. they want more but we saw this weekend. it sort of attempting to laugh at them meandering nature. i don't even know what that was. >> he doesn't care about the american voter. he doesn't care about this country. he doesn't care about governing for the betterment of america. he only cares about himself. >> he is literally saying i don't care about you. i just want your vote. >> is there an element of truth there? >> john: joining us now to discuss, fox news contributor and "washington examiner" chief local correspondent byron york. nobody asked and all those diatribes, was there an element of comedy to that. >> there's a big element. in 2016 i wrote a story called "how trump speaks." it was still kind of knew at the time and his style of giving a speech does go all over the place. he'll talk about immigration and then he'll talk about winning the club championship at his club, and then he'll talk about taxes. he's just all over the place. >> john: even more so when the teleprompter is not working. >> which was the case in las vegas here a lot of his audience finds it quite entertaining. as a matter fact back then as an experiment, after the end of one rally, i asked people leaving, what did he say? they gave me a pretty concise description of what he said. he's going to bring our jobs back. he's going to build a wall. he's going to kick isis. they got the bullet points. >> john: he's currently making inroads in nevada. new fox news poll has him about five points. 50% to 45%. he said something over the weekend it would probably grab the attention of a lot of people in the service industry. listen. >> so, this is the first time i've said this. for those hotel workers and people that get tips, you're going to be very happy. because when i get to office we are going to not charge taxes on tips. >> john: here's how the culinary workers union reacting saying for decades the culinary union has fought for to maker's rights. relief is definitely needed. nevada workers are smart enough to know the difference between will trickle real solutions and wild campaign promises from a convicted felon. >> [laughs] if you are in the union in nevada they will take you to the polls and you're going to vote for the democrat, i think that's all there is to it. one thing that is striking about that speech in nevada but a number people seem to have their hair on fire about, he spent an enormous amount of time on the border, illegal immigration, on economic issues, inflation. the thing that doesn't get reported in trump's speeches is how much he talks about the actual issues that very closely mirror the polling on the issues people care most about. >> john: most people talk about him saying that he's not going to pay the company that did the teleprompter. >> he will throw in something kind of off the wall. >> john: there's an awful lot of animosity toward trump. noted canadian psychologist jordan peterson waited on that, listen to what he said. >> the degree of animosity people have for trump is actually somewhat of a mystery to me. i can't quite crack it. there's a class thing there i would say. elitist people are annoyed that someone like trump or someone who they think trump is has dared to enter the upper echelons. there is something about it that's very classist. >> john: basically saying how dare he try to become president. >> that's a really big question that's been around for quite a few years. i'm not sure i have any better answer myself. i know now, i think you're seeing an intensification of that. for one big reason. trump has been leading joe biden in the polls for quite a while and then the biggest thing for democrats that could happen happened which is trump was convicted of 34 felony counts. so far they haven't seen that huge switch they were looking for. >> john: in fact it's going the other way. >> they might see a bump. they might not but it's not turning out to be salvation for them. still warm the reasons why voters are going the opposite direction, the tall tales and the other things associated with him when he gives public speeches, like this. listen. >> besides, i used to drive an 18-wheeler. you know what i did? that's exactly right. first organization i rejoined was the naacp! didn't get to vote until you were 21 of those days but i got involved in civil rights when i was 15. i come alike a lot of work a lot of people in the audience, whereas the first and my family to go to college. >> got shot down in new guinea and they never found the body, there are a lot of cannibals for real. >> john: mechanical stories my favorite. he's getting a pass from the left-wing media but "the new york times" took a look at this. "biden loves to tell tall tales. we cut them down to size." he was a teenage civil rights activist, former trucker, the first and his family to go to college on the nephew of the cannibalism victim. all these claims stretch the truth or are downright false. that mr. biden persists in telling personal tales with rhetorical flourishes and factual liberty when he works our room or regales an audience. why aren't posts on other networks talking about that? >> i like the "factual liberty" part. the times did everything they could to soften this. the president tells tall tales. later they said he tells yarns. it's like, what can you say? they've done millions of stories about the thousands of lives donald trump -- lives donald trump has told every minute and they just completely soft at all this but you don't have to compare the two to think that the biden thing is serious. he's claiming biographical assets that he doesn't have. he goes to a civil rights meeting and says i was a member of your organization when i was 2 years old and nobody checks it out. it's a serious issue. >> john: ronald reagan used to tell stories as well but they were actually jokes. i like the one about the three leggett chicken. byron, thank you. >> sandra: all right fox news alert, this just in. brand-new video from the helmet camera of the police special anti-terror unit during the rescue of those three hostages over the weekend. [gunfire] [shouting] >> sandra: it's chilling. all of us seen for that to the first time. very rare helmet camera footage of that very dangerous rescue operation from over the weekend. is there a rescuing those hostages, as we just watch together, they came under heavy fire. as they eliminated those guys are terrorists. incredible to watch that for the first time together. >> john: they were getting noa outcome of the 26-year-old woman, she was struck with terror when she was loaded on the back of a motorcycle, they didn't encounter any money. they got in, they got out but they went to get the other three hostages in a different building, hamas found out about it and open fire on them with everything they had including machine guns and rpgs which graded huge firefight which then required air cover for the idf to be able to get out of there. that's when all hell broke loose. it's really extraordinary. watching this video of this operation. >> sandra: two different locations. we will see what moore comes from this but that obviously, less than a minute longer tells the story. >> john: now this. >> women's basketball got on my radar, like everybody, because of caitlin clark. the other girls in the league are delighted for her success. i'm joking of course. they [bleep] hate her. >> sandra: reaction boring and after caitlin clark's left off the u.s. olympic team. how is she handling this knob question marks, we are breaking it down with charlie arnault coming up. stay with us. it's time. yes, the time has come for a fresh approach to dog food. everyday, more dog people are deciding it's time to quit the kibble and feed their dogs fresh food from the farmer's dog. made by vets and delivered right to your door precisely portioned for your dog's needs. it's an idea whose time has come. ♪ >> sandra: caitlin clark handling her snob from the u.s. olympic team with grace. here's what the wnba star told reporters. >> i'm going to be rooting them on to win gold. i was a kid that grew up watching the olympics so it'll be fun watching. no disappointment. gives you something to work for. it's a dream of. hopefully one day i can be there and it's a little more motivation. hopefully in four years, i can be there. >> sandra: that was graceful. let's bring in outkick.com's charly arnolt. thank you for joining us. everyone's got a take on this but wow did she handle that beautifully. most would have assumed she would be not happy. >> yeah, she's definitely -- i think internally she's probably feeling much different emotions than she's conveying but caitlin clark has been taking the high road this entire time. the narrative, the controversy surrounding her when all she wants to do is focus on her first half of the season during her rookie year in the wnba. she has a lot going on people want to keep pushing things in her face and she had was it like you said with such grace. the fact of the matter is 1000% she should be on that olympic team. why? because the goal is to get people to watch team usa in the olympics. the only reason, to be perfectly honest, the people are watching the wnba, the only reason the wnba is likely to turn a profit for the first time, the only reason teams are getting charter flights is because of caitlin clark. it was very stupid on the olympic committee's part to not put her on that team are very selfish reasons. >> sandra: no matter what the reason is, everybody's got a reaction. >> i think they whiffed. they believe they lost a golden opportunity. the undeniable thing about caitlin clark is how popular she is, how many i have all she's brought to the sport. people are discovering women's basketball for the first time. for many, many people, because of caitlin clark. >> sandra: the ratings speak for themselves but gosh, you just have to have a set of eyes to see just how spectacular she is on the court and a great representation of the sport in general. so is there a chance that anything changes here? >> there is the potential. the olympic committee still has time to say you know what, maybe we didn't mess up. maybe we do want to walk it back and put her on the roster. those 12 spots. one of which could certainly be hers. then there's talk of her being an alternate. my opinion, it's not enough because alternates are rarely going to be used on the team unless something suddenly happens, somebody gets injured. falls into poor health, has travel issues, who knows. the fact is she needs to be on the team because people want to see caitlin clark play. they want to see or represent team usa. it's not uncommon for rookies who come into the wnba who have that level of greatness, that clout to be put on the olympic roster so this one especially does not make sense in the case of caitlin clark. >> sandra: there are some people saying there's no way they can take off and head to the olympics without her on the plane. but there's also takes like this. i will get your response. this is the former iowa women's basketball coach. here we go, let's listen. >> she's won three gold medals. but we have to remember it is the hardest game, team to make. anywhere. it's the hardest team to make and the 12 women they have chosen our exceptional women. >> sandra: exceptional. how else do you describe her? caitlin? >> i am so confused at that statement. what is the hardest team to make? wnba only big team as an artist team to make her is she talking about basketball in general? or maybe on the men's side when you have so many. she was the word exceptional. exceptional players who deserve to make the roster who are household names, they're going to draw eyeballs. in the case of the wnba olympic team, i have already taken a glimpse of the roster. it's been leaked. maybe i've heard somewhat of some of these names. i'm not going to tune in and take time out of my day to watch the women's basketball game in the summer olympics. no chance. >> sandra: a tough team to make, tough shots to make. 25 feet outside the basket thank you very much. >> sandra: there's no doubt more eyeballs would be on the screen if she was playing. >> john: i think so. in terms of personal stats, she is number 14. i think she's number three in season three-pointers. but a player is the number two player. she didn't get invited. i guess, i don't know what the criteria was. i think caitlin clark would have made it. >> sandra: i love track and field. i always say there is a start line and finish line. you run the fastest or you don't. the subjective part i can do without. >> john: oh, well. okay. abbe lowell rested his case just a few minutes ago. we are now in a 15 minute break until the prosecution has a brief rebuttal. then it's up to the judge to give instructions to the jury. the jury will likely -- to putting how long the decisions. if the judge thought it was going to take a long time, they might wait till tomorrow. the to send the jury and for deliberations. or the whole thing could go to the jury this afternoon. we'll keep watching u.s. district court in wilmington, delaware. we'll be right back. and i saved hundreds. with all the money i saved i thought i'd buy stilts. being so tall definitely has its advantages. oh whoa. here you go, kiddo. thanks. hi honey ready to go?
