quality of life? i got hit and fell to the ground knocked unconscious. happened really fast out of nowhere. >> took 20 minutes to respond to the call and by that time she had already gone home. >> i hold the city accountable for defunding police. >> 30 dead whales reported along the east coerce. >> this is insanity. demanding a halt to all overshore wind development. >> inexcusable, wind power. >> bud light continues hurting from the dylan mulvaney scandal. molson coors out selling bud light by 50 whopping%. >> corporate wokeism has its limits and they're finally putting their foot down and saying enough >> steve: good morning, everybody. hour two of "fox & friends" for this thursday, august 3rd. and we start with a fox news alert. former president, donald trump, is expected to appear in federal court 4:00 this afternoon in our nation's capitol. >> he is facing four new felonies related to january 6th and the 2020 election. >> brian: all right. griff jenkins is live outside the d.c. federal courthouse. griff, the clock is ticking. >> the clock is ticking. a matter of hours, brian, ainsley and steve. good morning. in security preparations are getting more and more stringent around this courthouse for the former president's visit. his third indictment in four months. and late last night, trump taking to his truth social social media to say he is worried about getting a fair trial. writing this: the latest fake case brought by crooked joe biden and deranged jack smith will hopefully be moved to an impartial venue such as the politically unbiased nearby state of west virginia. impossible to get a fair trial in washington, d.c. now, trump faces four charges in this indictment. one for conspiracy, one for obstruction. the man at the center of much of this case, former vice president pence is blasting his former boss and the lawyers who pressured him to refuse to certify the election results. watch. >> it wasn't just that he asked for a pause. the president specifically asked me and his gaggle of crackpot lawyers asked me to literally reject votes, which would have resulted in the issue being turned over to the house of representatives and literally chaos would have ensued. >> griff: looking ahead to this trial, trump's former are attorney general bill barr says trump has a high bar to meet but agrees it has meeting merit. >> it's legitimate case, unlike the document case, it's going to have issues of proof. it's a more complicated case they are not attacking his family right. he can say whatever he wants. but that does not protect you from entering into a conspiracy. all conspiracies involve speech. and all fraud involves speech. >> griff: meanwhile, as hunter biden's legal woes worsen with the plea deal he was paid just under a million by communist china. "the washington post" is givings president joe biden four pinocchios for claiming his son never received money from china writing quote nearly three years later biden's assertions have been directed by hunter himself in court testimony last week the younger biden admitted he in fact had been paid substantial sums in china. this as "the washington post" also revealing, guys, that former president obama is privately warning biden that trump is a more formidable candidate than democrats realize another headline because i have been up reading all the headlines on this historical day. literally the trump indictment brings us closer to the rematch america really doesn't need. the last line my favorite. america needs a campaign centered on the future, not the past. yet, the nation edges ever closer to a trump-biden rematch that next to no one wants. strong words there from the "new york post." guys, sent it back to you. >> steve: plenty of time to read the papers out there. so, griff, can you explain why the judge, the magistrate today is not the same person who is going to preside over the criminal trial whenever that happens? >> griff: well, that's a formality the way these things happen and the magistrate judge will hear this first court appearance which we all believe will likely be an arraignment. but it will ultimately get to the trial and there's a lot of attention on that judge her name is tonya which the kin, a 2014 obama appointee upper she notably presided over several of the january 6th riot cases and gave gave some of the harshest sentences of that. that's going to get a lot of attention once we get this trial underway. steve? >> ainsley: thank you so much. they are going to hear charges today. if it is an arraignment it will be trump's team opportunity to enter a plea. on truth social trump wrote gobble get a fair trial in washington, d.c. which is over 95% anti-trump. he said the indictment is all about election interference. and then he put up a picture of himself pointing like uncle sam and it says on this meme it says in reality they are not after me. they're after you. i'm just in the way. >> brian: so bill barr actually pretty interesting interview and his take you know how he feels trump and him had a deep fracture. he is able to separate how he feels about the law. he says he doesn't believe this is a first amendment case but does think there is merit to it but also thinks there is great risk to it because you are regulating what people think. so he said he actually came out and said i think, unlike the document case, it's going to have issues of proof. it's more complicated. i think there are some down sides to it. i think there are reasons not to bring it. i said that before i'm a little concerned about the slippery slope of what you are criminal riding. and merrick garland comes out and says hey i just hired jack smith i have no idea what is going on. does anyone believe that for a second as joe biden sits on the beach and says i'm just detaching. i'm unplugging for 10 days. does anyone believe that? as we go up and down. very important timeline as the timeline happens we also have an election happening from the caucuses to the primaries to the super tuesdays. donald trump is going to be salted away in some courtroom in theory and guess who else doesn't do much? joe biden. this is going to be joe biden's best chance to do what he did last time. stay in his basement. because it's going to be no pressure if donald trump is the nominee to go out and campaign. because donald trump will be having necessarily those 25,000 people rallies across the country in purple states. he will be maybe stuck in a courtroom key baiting his case and maybe that will be the conversation of the country and maybe that's the joe biden strategy. he does best when he is not around. >> steve: a little bit about what bill barr said in that interview griff played a good chunk of it. he said, brian, to your point, this is not about the first amendment. he said that donald trump can say whatever he wants. he can lie. he can tell people the election was stolen. but that does not protect you from entering into a conspiracy. and the former attorney general said free speech does not give you the right for fraudulent conspiracy. and it's all about the conspiracy. one other. >> brian: you mean the electors thing? >> steve: the total, four different charges. >> ainsley: yeah. it's really about the double standard here. and that's what makes conservatives mad. it is when you look at donald trump getting slapped with 78 felony charges. 640 years if convicted behind bars. okay. the sitting president, in his garage, had classified documents, too. >> brian: we have no idea how that is going. >> ainsley: exactly. we haven't heard from that special counsel at all. that's what america is mad at. that's why republican are supporting donald trump. i know that it's all up in the air right now it. looks like donald trump is probably going to get the nomination it. looks like joe biden is going to run could be up in the air. people who used to say i don't know if i want trump to do this again. i don't know if i support him. they are fed up with the way the government is doing. with the doj. >> it looks like a two it-tiered justice system and people are mad. >> steve: 4re9's see what the doj does and what mr. hur out there does when he investigates the biden case. >> ainsley: what about the direction of our country. next topic is libraries and books in our kid's classroom they are worried about the state of the country. >> steve: let's go to that. coming up this weekend it turns out our friend kirk cameron is hosting. i will tell you in the next hour about what bill barr said. >> ainsley: i'm sorry i cut you off. >> steve: that's okay. he is having a see you at the library event this saturday. 260 public libraries in 44 states. people are going to gather, actually at the libraries to read brave books. you know our friends at brave books are actually sponsoring this also to pray and sing and read books of virtues. they said we are on a mission to turn our nation back to god. see you at the library on august the 5th. >> ainsley: i love. this because, kirk cameron said why are you all not wanting my books in your libraries. all my books are are focused on faith and family and freedom and patriotism. that's the message most of us want to teach our children. especially our little ones. we want them to be proud of our country and to know about god and to know that things are going to be okay and that they're loved. we want them to have happy child hoods. >> brian: talk about marketing. what is so interesting is that governor desantis in florida comes to mind where he says, listen, i think there should be age-appropriate books in age-appropriate libraries. i don't think certain books should be there. quickly democrats go "he's banning books." kurt cammeron says i think you should have well rounded books that talk about virtues and beliefs in libraries. no, no. kirk cameron can't have those books in there it's inappropriate. nobody says libraries are banning books. it's the democrats who are much more effective doing things that are catchy. and are easy to understand. when you think ron desantis if you are a democrat go banning books. no, no. age-appropriate books. shouldn't be learning about gender identification. should not be learning about sex if you are 8 years old. we thought that was a given. we think that faith and family books, no matter what faith you are muslim, catholic, christian, whatever you are should have an opportunity. that never used to be a problem. all the things we used to take for granted, people are making us sit around and go what happened to logic in this country? jordan peterson was on with us yesterday. and he talked about all of this. there is counter cultural conservative movement that's very, very powerful. and i also think that the young men who are tilting in that direction are at the forefront. i think what is happening in the states is that the answer to the problem of sex education in schools is we'll just take our kids out of the damn schools. i think the whole system will collapse. >> i also think if the republican governors have a lick of sense, especially with regard to long-term planning that they would take teacher certification away from the faculties of education. the faculties of education are sort of rotten central in the university system and a complete hammer lock on teacher certification a grip on the whole education system. >> steve: that's one of the reasons dr. peterson and his daughter are starting online university. it doesn't really tilt either direction politically. and encourage people to go to their website, which is going to be up in a couple of days speaking of web sites if you like to know more about see you at the library this saturday go to brave books.com and you can see right up at the top there is a little place you click. >> ainsley: , you search the map and see where they are going to be out near you, brian, they will be in dicks hill. scars dale. i was surprised they would be in new york. >> steve: in brooklyn. >> brian: not on long island. >> ainsley: go to the map use your fingers and. >> steve: what about if you have big fingers? >> ainsley: use big fingers, get your child help you. >> brian: ever have a guest on that everybody is talking about. everyone was talking to me yesterday about jordan peterson. what an impact he has made. >> ainsley: he was fascinating. he was on with bill maher and joe rogan brine brian different points of view. bill maher everything is blurry on both those podcasts in it both hosts decided to sit back and listen because almost every -- he makes you think hard. makes your brain hurt. because you can't even want to take a breath when he talks because i can't miss anything. >> ainsley: yes, yes. it's like one of those books that the chore author is so bright you have to read the page twice to really get it. >> steve: or just go really slow. >> ainsley: could you repeat that, please? how are you so smart? what did your parents do? >> brian: what i love about it he blends the lines of party and makes you think. listen i'm not a conservative or a liberal. i just take an issue. what's the best way through this? let's talk about it. let's debate it. that's where i think it's resonating. same thing with joe rogan he backs off and lets his subject talk. >> ainsley: for his academy spend $4,000 and get a college degree through the peterson academy trying to lower the price. what's the purpose of this? i just want my students to think. i just want to teach them how to think. we're going to have speakers from all over the country or all over the world come to this academy. and you will get a college degree. >> steve: you don't have go anywhere. as close as your phone. '. >> brian: think about hermine who are deep thinkers carley shimkus comes to mind. >> carley: jordan peterson is interesting not all politics. one of the things he talks about is marriage and relationship. he has so many interesting thoughts about that. >> ainsley: he said if you live together and not willing to get married, that just tells your partner you might one up. you might find a better partner one day but for now you will do. >> carley: i heard him say that yesterday and it's probably true. >> carley: news to get here. fox news alert. a u.s. army soldier has been killed in an armored vehicle accident in germany. the military has confirmed in this morning. she has been identified as first lieutenant haleyed whoston, 24-year-old texas native was traveling in an armored vehicle when a civilian semi-truck collided with it while merging on the autobahn on monday. no one else was hurt in this incident. 8 delta passengers step in to subdue a male passenger who reportedly assaulted a delta flight attendant. the flight was traveling from atlanta to new orleans yesterday when the unrule will passenger reportedly attacked the crew member with a piece of broken glass. police boarded the plane in new orleans and placed that man under arrest. delta airlines telling fox news digital delta has zero tolerance for unruly behavior on our aircraft and in our airports. and the unrelenting migrant crisis in new york now has officials reportedly considering whether to house illegal immigrants in central park. the mayor's office saying nothing about the table as shelters and hotels hit max capacity. the decision follows mayor adams issuing a stark warning on monday that the crisis will soon spread to a neighborhood near you here here is a question. what is the right way to behavior behave in a movie theater in the "wall street journal" says gone off the reels as more people are flocking toes theater to watch the oppenheimer and barbie. people are taking selfies during the movie. taking pictures of the screen or scrolling through social media feeds. the lights of the cell phone can distract the people around you. we have a question what are some examples of bad theater etiquette that get under your skin? email us at friends@foxnews.com. >> brian: i love. this. >> carley: air your answers. >> brian: we have not been in the theater for so long we forgot how to act. >> >> carley: one that i think that comes to mind one time i was in a movie theater at times square and a huge fight broke out. >> steve: that's more entertaining. >> ainsley: that sounds like a good movie. >> ainsley: very much more interested in the fight. >> ainsley: popcorn flying? >> brian: rockie movie? gladiator? >> carley: it was because somebody -- a seating issue. >> ainsley: that's what i was going to say. >> steve: whether you have particular seats. >> carley: no never mind it wasn't a seating issue. this is coming back to me. >> brian: take your time. >> carley: a guy was trying to get out of the row and he stepped on somebody else's foot didn't go over well with the guy. >> steve: that will do it. welcome to new york. >> brian: do you have any video. >> carley: i have no video footage it could have been a headline. it was more verbal. but they were screaming and standing up in the movie theater and everybody is like can you guys leave? and then like some theater people came in and it was like a whole thing. >> steve: that's why we don't go to the movies anymore. wait for it to show up on our tv in the big room. >> ainsley: we went to oppenheimer the other day. i booked our seats, four seats in a row because we were going with some friends. >> brian: and it's three hours. >> ainsley: i walk. in yeah, we fell asleep in it. >> brian: did you? >> ainsley: i didn't finish it. we ended up leaving. four seats we showed up on the back row. someone was sitting in all of them i'm like i'm so sorry. >> carley: same person sitting all four? >> ainsley: no the family. they couldn't come at the last minute do you mind just giving up two seats together? they were sitting in our seats. >> steve: that's nice. >> ainsley: movie where is he an assassin? >> steve: john wick? >> carley: john wick one that's where it happened. >> steve: carley, thank you very much. >> brian: could you bring more details next hour? [laughter] coming up, if you thought. >> ainsley: bring me a list of all the movies have you seen in your life? >> brian: coming up, if you thought covid was in the past, not so fast. just ask any of the 100 plus colleges still requiring a vaccine this fall. we will talk to two students next. >> ainsley: non-woke help wanted a company's job posting for that requirement. call for diversity of thought in the workplace. >> carley, that was hilarious. ♪ dance, dance, dance ♪ creeping up on you to just dance, dance, dance ♪ all those things i should do but you dance, dance, dance ♪ ain't nobody leaving so keep dancing ♪ can't stop the feeling >> ainsley: it is almost that time of year, back to school season. gosh, summer is almost over. but, if you attend one of these colleges, you better have your covid vaccine shot or it's no class for you. don't worry, we're going to count -- we will count for you, that is more than 100 universities including harvard and johns hopkins with a mandate still in place and our next two guests will both attend colleges on that list this fall. we have rutgers university junior jeremy lee and university of pittsburgh student. good morning to both of you. >> good morning. >> good morning. so, lily, i will start with you, how do you feel about this? >> i'm not surprised at all by them keeping the vaccine mandate and every institution, i think, in pennsylvania, there is probably a vaccine mandate. i think it's unmoral. i think it's uncapitol hill as well for them to force us to put something in our body to attend class and to receive an education. >> ainsley: so are you going to do it? >> no. >> ainsley: you're not. what will happen? you won't be able to go to class? >> i will have to receive an exemption. a religious exemption in order to be exempt from. >> ainsley: is your school good about doing that you? are at university of pittsburgh. will they allow that? >> yes, they do. >> ainsley: okay. jeremy, how about you? how do you feel about it. >> you know, i think that rutgers university is mandating this covid vaccine with almost little to know thought about the fact that you don't really have this emergency that we're expecting and there has been virtually no covid risk at all on campus. so i feel like at this point it feels like we're appeasing leftists on campus and it feels less like we are actually following data and science and people's individual rights being violated. i think that's a pretty serious problem. so i think that is really wrong. >> ainsley: will you get the shot? >> i have gotten the vaccine, yes. i do believe in the effectiveness. i think at the end of the day i believe that data shows it does bring infections and i feel safe taking it. but i'm 100 percent sure that other people don't feel that way. they have their own religious exemptions, personal reasons. i know a friends of mine have had trouble especially at rutgers getting those exemptions and i think it's wrong that we are forcing people that don't want to get the vaccine to get it in the first place. ounce. >> ainsley: sounds like you are for are the vaccine not the mandate being told you have to put this in your body. lily, this was just announced four months ago the cdc announced the end of the federal covid-19 health emergency. it's not a public health emergency anymore, why are these schools doing this? >> i honestly don't know. to have control. i don't know why the university of pittsburgh has been all about my body, my choice with different things. >> ainsley: exactly. >> it seems like when it comes to that vaccine it's actually your body but it's not your choice at all. so, i'm not sure. >> ainsley: jeremy, your thoughts? >> you know i think that with the new vaccine, i think it feels less like they are following data. they are not following the who, you look at what column columbia university has done removing their covid-19. campus reform. the fact is big institutions, even in densely populated cities are consultation back on covid-19 restrictions today. yet, we're still seeing that -- feels like more they are appeasing to the progressives and leftists on campus and actually following the science. >> ainsley: lily and jeremy, thank you for joining us. wishing you all the best this fall at school. thank you. coming up, a portland doctor says she was attacked by a homeless man and blaming the liberal city leaders. >> i do not hold the police accountable for this at all. i hold our city accountable for defunding the police. >> ainsley: the host of crime cam 24/7 sean styx larkin joins us next on the devastating effect of the defund police movement. plus, fishermen and activists taking to the waters to protest offshore wind farms. their call to save the w whales are you tired of clean clothes that just don't smell clean?

joining us right now is our voter panel. we have got air force veteran and former democrat and now republican voter lydia da ming guess right up there joining us from las vegas retired u.s. navy petty officer and republican voter moses sanchez. is he down below and independent voter bernadette wright, good morning to you, everybody. >> good morning, good morning. >> >> steve: lydia you are in vegas. talk about the new case, the latest indictments are on election interference, since you are in vegas, what are the odds that he winds up guilty? >> oh, man, i usually don't gamble but, you know, i don't believe he's going to end up guilty. this is -- it just seems like an ex-boyfriend seeking a revenge n court and just slamming their spouse in just all these different charges and it's just overwhelming. i'm over it. they just need to move on. they are not getting their way they need to move on from trump and stop attacking him. i'm tired of it. we have had eight years of it and we need to move on from it. >> steve: moses, do you see it as an ex-boyfriend situation. >> i don't know what an ex-boyfriend situation is for me. honestly, i think most people are not paying attention to the specifics of the various indictments. i think the average american couldn't tell you the difference between the third indictment, the second indictment, which indictment is this? a lot of people are just checked out. clearly he has calcified his support during this time and during this indictment and a lot of voters feel like he is being attacked by the mainstream media, and he is being victimized like a lot of voters have in the past i don't see see it like an old boirstd. >> steve: okay. i get, exactly lydia what you were trying to say it's not that big of deal. bern death, ultimately because of the situation, because donald trump faces so much legal peril right now, we are talking about indictments and we are not talking about inflation or the cost of groceries or the cost of gas or anything like that. >> right. that's a problem because the man has become bigger than the mission. i agree with both of the previous speakers about the fact that the timing of this, i think, is pretty strange. it is taking over all of the election news when it comes to what are the real issues that we're facing? he has gotten so big that it's gotten out of control. and the previous person who spoke is correct. people are not paying attention to the indictment like they should be because if they were reading the indictment they might have legitimate concerns and realize all of this stuff is being abouting a distraction and we need to pay attention to what is happening in america. >> steve: yeah. because you guys were asking about how many charges it is. right here the arraignment is at 4:00 this afternoon. currently, donald trump faces 78 felony charges, three indictments in new york, florida and d.c. lydia, i know how you depicted what's going on today. >> which of the charges against the former president do you feel is the most significant? >> the current one. it's telling the timing of when they are pursuing these charges. they didn't pursue them in 2021 and 2022. now they are pursuing them when they don't get their way. trump is the poster child of why good men and women don't want to join politics. this is dirty. the media is dirty. and even political -- your political opponents will go after you. and this is why people don't want to get involved. >> steve: yeah. moses, let me ask you this, you know, of course, as jack smith even said each time he had a little press conference, he said, you know, there's a presumption of innocence for the former president, you know, is he innocent until proven otherwise, but how would a guilty verdict impact your voted? i know you are a republican. >> i think it's still too soon. i think it's way too soon. we have six months before the actual presidential primary here. we have a solid field of diverse candidates, which is great. again, i think a lot of voters are just checked out when it comes to the legal matters of the president. i think we're too busy worried about putting food on the table. worried about inflation. worried about the economy. worried about issues of faith and where our country is headed and the direction we are headed right now. i this think that's what is important to voters. not which indictment are we on today. >> steve: you need a road map to figure out which indictment we are on because there are so many of them, moses, you make a good point. bernadette, i know you are sitting there in georgia this morning. fayetteville, beautiful town. you are an independent. >> yes. >> steve: are you excited about the potential rematch between joe biden and donald trump? because we saw this movie once before. >> no. i'm not. i don't think the sea quell is necessary in this particular case. i think we're ready for something fresh. i think we are ready for people who are not going to continue to divide the country. i think we are ready for balance. we are ready for unity. i think we are ready for people to claim to be cryptions to actually show the love of christ. i just think we are yesterday for something new and something real. we don't want to see that movie anymore. >> steve: bern death, real bern, who would your dream ticket be. >> my dream ticket would be something we don't know who hasn't been involved in a wunk of chaos. somebody who does what they say they're going to do. >> steve: how do we find someone who is not involved in chaos. that's the problem. lydia, moses, bernadette, thank you for joining us today. thank you. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> thank you for having us. >> steve: 1 minutes better top of the hour, what if we told you and a guest of your choice could actually attend the highly anticipated first republican presidential debate in milwaukee on august 23rd?

>> we organized this protest to try to draw attention to the very heavy environmental footprint that offshore wind has on our eastern coast. right now the biden administration wants to put up 30,000 megawatts of offshore wind between now and 2030, i guess they believe the world is going to end in six and a half years like aoc from climate change. this means putting up 1,500 wind turbines stretch from the carolinas right up to new england. and they are putting these offshore wind turbines about 15 to 30 miles off the coast right in the prime habitat, in the lanes that a number of species of whales use to go north and south up and down along our coast. of particular concern is the white whale only 350 so remaining in the wild. critically endangered species. the sounds that come from turbines are a particular concern both in the construction phase and in the operation phase. since they have started sonar blasting, which goes back in 2016, right up to today where they are doing pile driving, using these hydraulic hammers, lot of noise something created and seen unprecedented number of whales beach themselves along the shores. in fact some estimate there has been about 400 percent increase in whale beachings and whale strikes since they have begun the offshore wind construction. we would like to see a moratorium placed on these things until further studies can be done. >> ainsley: i know you were one of the ones, you sent those three boats out to the south fork wind farm and holding up the sign stop the windmills and save whales. shouting with bull horns to stop construction. i feel like activists they want to save the whales and lobsters but kind of depends on whatever their issue is. sometimes they want to and in this case they don't? >> you are absolutely right. i was out on the boats there. it was a rocky sea. about 25 miles out into the ocean. we find that a lot of groups that are green organizations actually are silent on this. >> ainsley: craig, what is' your website because we are running out of time. if people are interested in this where can they go?
