Steve we are. Brian march 18th. Day after Saint Patricks day. I know you are not hung over. This is fox friends. Fox news alert as grips haiti. Carrying citizens lands in miami. We have a live report. Steve plus, another alert, israel launched night raids on gazas Shifa Hospital as respond to Chuck Schumers call for new leadership. Schumers statements are wholly inappropriate. We are not a banana republic. Ainsley adam schiff concerned trumps court delays could evade justice. Evade justice by delayed justice. This is a tried and true tactic of trump throughout his career. Lawrence fox friends starts right now. And, remember, mornings are better with friends. Brian state to a Fox News Alert. Dozens of american citizens are home safe this morning after escaping mass chaos, Gang Violence engulfing haiti right now. Steve the american citizens age to make it out on the State Departments first Charter Flight of the island. They touched down in miami yesterday at 2 30 in the afternoon. Madeleine rivera is in washington with all the details. Madeleine . Madeleine good morning, guys. U. S. A. Official says there were 47 passengers on board that first charter flidz. Only for americans with u. S. Pat ports. The State Department announced the Charter Flight On X saturday providing a link with an application. They say we encourage u. S. Citizens still in haiti to who seek to depart to contact the department of state using the crisis intake rm on our website if they have not already done. So but getting to these Charter Flights to leave haiti are dangerous. Taking off cap haitian. The airport remains closed after the gangs took. It is about a five and a half hour dry from the capital and it runs through gang controlled territory. The State Department is warning folks to only consider taking these Charter Flights if they believe they can read cap haitian safely flu in more remain at the agency that does remain open comes after some nonimportant it personal were evacuated. Have agreed to step down president ial council formed and interim minister named. One passenger who escaped haiti on that Charter Flight over the weekend says haiti it s. My homeland and very stressful to see the homeland going through this act of violence, destruction. And theyre our neighbors. Separately, the Nonprofit OrganizationProject Dynamo is working on rescuing 40 americans by hair or see. Unclear if any of them were on the flight on sunday. Back to you. Wait a second. A bit of a problem. Sounds like mattie you said you can go online and apply for this . Flight people who were there. Who notified the government, the Statement Department we are here. Got email. Why were they so late to respond to it. Hatey spinning off in chaos for months now. The fact that they are just now coordinating flights to get the americans out. Steve the point though, lawrence, there were commercial Airline Flights out until recently. Now they are stuck. They could have last left in te last month. Brian heres the problem, everybody for haiti is there for humanitarian reasons. They are working whether they are trying to get water there. Getting an orphanage. For the State Department told to you leave really you . Anticipated the Prime Minister was going to be ousted once they went to began i cant and let all these people steve fund some of those projects. Ainsley so many churches and missionaries go down there to help the haitian people. Steve its a mess. Lawrence Israeli Defense forces conducting a operation in gaza. Brian idf says its arrested over 80 people believing these operations are vital to taking down hamas. Following intelligence that demanded immediate action, we know that senior Hamas Terrorists have regrouped inside the Shifa Hospital and are using it to command attacks against israel. Steve what it sounds like at this hospital some of the senior Hamas Terrorists have regrouped. They have scattered and they are there and so now that is why israel is targeting them with they have got tanks and also heavy artillery as well. Ainsley Chuck Schumer last week said that netanyahu, he thinks that netanyahu needs to break ranks. He doesnt need to run for reelection. There needs to be a new election in israel. He labeled him as an obstacle to peace. Netanyahu was on fox friends over the weekend answered racketed to it. Listen. I think Chuck Schumers statements are wholly inappropriate. We are not a brup. Banana republic. Flag after 9 11 and when you are in the midst of fighting alqaeda and winning. People will say. The some israelis would say oh. The right thing to do is not to have new elections in america or having president bush resign. Its inappropriate. Shouldnt have been said. Its wrong. As far as my considerations, theyre not for my personal survival they are for the survival of the jewish state. And this requires pursuing the war, something that support my government enjoys the support of the overwhelming majority of israelis. Lawrence so the interesting thing is nancy pelosi was asked about this over the weekend. And she called Chuck Schumers comments an act of courage and then followed it up by saying whats wrong for add for indicating for elections . We know exactly what he was encouraging. He didnt want netanyahu to win. So he is asking for another election to get someone else in. The second thing i would follow up with is when putin did the same thing, all the democrats criticized him, rightfully, because you dont interfere into foreign election. So i just want to understand what is Election Interference . Is it when a Foreign Government suggest elections suggest candidates or is it does it matter what candidate they are choosing, brian . Brian well, theres nothing appropriate about his comments but you cant say they were extemporaneous or lost his temper on the Courthouse Steps or made a comment in the hallway he would like to take back. Written, stared at the paper the whole entire time. I dont get it. The president said great speech. Echos the thoughts of many people. Never good to call for elections in another democracy especially an ally. When you do that, if your goal is to get hostages out and bring peace as much as possible, you have hardened the stance and given additional leverage to hamas. Makes it a tougher deal. They walk away. They are demanding a complete ceasefire now and are demanding the u. S. Come out publicly and back a complete ceasefire along with the uae, egypt, saudi arabia, qatar and jordan. This is because they seize a fracturing of the support. Lawrence 100 percent. Brian take a second. Nobody wants one woman or child killed in a war, ever. But, just dont take the numbers hamas is putting out as if they are accurate. They put no deaths of hamas fighters into anything. They dont bring it into male, female. They dont know it. They know they are playing the west by saying the idf is killing women and children. And we play into it by having President Biden come out and Say Something similar and the same thing with schumer. John kirby didnt say it was appropriate. John kirby wouldnt even back up the red line that the president said was drawn in rafah. So, what is it . You know what . You got to figure and we were talking to danny danon the ambassador on this program on friday a little bit about how Chuck Schumer essentially was trying to help joe biden. You know, because, to your point. Ainsley bings go. Steve nancy pelosi saying what Chuck Schumer said was an acts of courage. You had adam schiff defending. Ainsley all the same Talking Points now. Steve why is that . They need to dig joe biden out of a hole. Essentially what theyre doing is saying Chuck Schumer is saying okay, israel, you got wrap it up. You got have a ceasefire. Thats what the entire administration is doing behind the scenes. Ainsley they were all for israel in the beginning of this, right after october 7th. Then they saw a thousand or however many it was uncommitted voters in certain counties, that scared them. And now they realize they have a problem. Were trying to attract the israeli voters but we also needs to attract the propalestinian voters. And netanyahu said on another network over the weekend, too. He says he is not opposing me, Chuck Schumer, is he opposing the american people. Inappropriate to go after a sister democracy. He said the focus should be on bringing these terrorists down in gaza. Dont forget more than 1,000 israelis were murdered, including americans. And he said he cited a poll in november, just this past november. 82 of americans supported israel going into gaza. Brian benny gantz who would be the next Prime Minister said it was inappropriate to make the remarks. Its never appropriate for people to make the remarks about another country calling for snap elections. Ainsley especially israel ally. Steve its election year. Brian came over to speak when President Biden was president who despise the Prime Minister netanyahu. Who worked to get him unelected and actually jet fueled his reelection. When he came and spoke to the house, they have not forgotten that they look at netanyahu as a republican. And nancy pelosi especially. And she mentioned that yesterday. Lawrence there are a lot of American Jews watching as well and see how the president is fickle on his stance. Especially with all the antisemitic attacks that are happening here in this country right now. So, i hope its worth it for the democrats. You never win votes by playing it somewhere in the middle. Sometimes he wants to criticize netanyahu. Sometimes he says he stands with israel. Im not sure what the American Foreign policy is. Brian the way he runs ukraine. Ainsley donald trump says he doesnt understand why israelis after what has happened, how they could still support the democrats. Steve we will keep you posted on what is going on at at hospital throughout the day. Meanwhile, down in georgia, Fulton County d. A. Fani willis can move forward and prosecute former President Trump after special prosecutor nathan wade quit in response to an ultimatum from the judge who heard both sides of the story. Ainsley well now trumps defense team is sharing their next step saying, quote, y our first legal option a ask the cot to permit pretrial order. Brian delay the game. Leading the senates probe into disqualification. Lawrence Bill Mcalister joins us now. Welcome to the program. Good morning. Lawrence. Bring you to what the judge said still an odor of audacity in terms of what going on there. What do you see . I think that sums it up. I mean, the judge in several places in the order pointed out the misconduct of the prosecution, the unprofessional behavior. And there he was referencing the testimony of mr. Wade and ms. Willis. And thats, of course, is untruthfulness. You are not in a good position when your trial judge in the case just called you out for being dishonest with the courts. Steve never good. That shows his concerns. He tried to urge her to withdraw from the case totally and take the entire d. A. s office out but gave her that sort of lifeline if she wouldnt we move herself to have mr. Wade removed from the case and he did that. Ainsley senator i was reading this morning willis is subject of the Ongoing Investigation in the state senate we knew this and with House Republicans. There is a new State Commission with extensive powers over prosecutors like this who could also take action against her. What happens next when it comes to the senate, when it comes to the House Republicans and this commission . The judge laid out that he was sort of handcuffed by the lack of very specific georgia law to ro remove her. He called on the General Assembly to enact any laws necessary to put the proper guardrails around prosecutorial misconduct. Thats something that our committee will be looking into as we devil we devil d. O it will delve into the facts. If you change the through with ultimately not apply to this case . Exactly. Only in the future we would try to restore Public Confidence in the integrity of our judicial system by changing the laws to make it clear what conduct is permitted and not. The judge here said her conduct was the appearance of impropriety but not a direct conflict of interest. What is he basically saying this may not be illegal but it ought to be. Thats going to be our jobs to pass laws to make it clear were not going to to tolerate this behavior in georgia. Brian if she moves forward on the case, what kind of credibility does the prosecution have right now . Trump is up four or five points. Anybody who thinks trump is sullied or damaged goods, they havent told the people of georgia. Her credibility is shot. She loves the prunt. Obviously seeking some type of higher office, has sought the publicity. And its sort of kind of bitter on this case. Its now negative publicity. She has no credibility left with the courts. Or with potential jurors. Seems to me it will hurt her ability to obtain a conviction. If thats her true true mission step aside and have somebody new with expertise in this Subject Matter come forward to handle the prosecution going forward. Steve well, lets see what happens going forward. Im proud of you guys up and early brighteyed and bushy tale. A little early in the morning but always fun to be with you all. Brian we all have two alarms and butlers to make sure. Not quite that fortunate in the Georgia Senate but fortunate to be with you. Brian adam schiff wants to be the next senator from california, he even noted over the weekend is he like if they only prosecuted earlier we wouldnt have all these problems with the delays. He says his hope is to have one or two cases before the election but would not even say that Something Like this going to happen. He even admitted that President Trumps delay game has worked. Listen. There is a chance that he could evade justice by delaying justice. This is a tried and true tactic of trump throughout his career. And i hope that the courts are aware of exactly what he is doing and his incentive in trying to prolong this. And i hope they wont go along with that strategy. In new york, i hope that they will look at the facts in terms of what caused the late release of this discovery. If it was driven by the Trump Defense team not requesting it earlier, they should not postpone the trial any further. Steve you know, a lot of these democrats have got to pick a lane. Because, a while back it was like hey, look at this. The Department Of Justice is finally doing this now its like hey the Department Of Justice waited too long. Lawrence the problem is their speed because of politics is what got them in trouble to begin with. Take the case in georgia right now. If you look at some of the court filings, there are so many inaccuracies in there spelling errors there. And then you have the case when it comes to alvin bragg that the federal prosecution failed to prosecute. They didnt even get the discovery yet and they decided to charge him anyway. Normally prosecutors read the other when they decide, you know, to delay charges and not to charge someone. They read that stuff so they could critique their case and submit it to the court in a special way thats different. They just did it anyway. And now they dont know whats in the documents. Ainsley i think it was francey hake last week talked about the number ever documents they have to look through in the new york case only delaying it 30 days. Just got this new evidence and she said its thousand and and thousands and thousands of pages. They. Ainsley they could send trump to jail. He could end up behind bars. They need time to read. This. Steve thats why they would appeal we need more time we only got through 75,000. Brian on top of that, adam schiff was totally wrong. Because trump asked for documents, prosecution said well, i just got this from the Southern District of new york and i get donald trump needs to read it, too. I need at least 30 days. Got at least 30 days thats the problem with the coordination. Trump even named the white house official that was involved that was assigned to alvin bragg to try to get an indictment in this case. And then he gets the indictment. And now alvin bragg is like now what do i do with it. They got problems with two witnesses. Michael cohen especially. Ainsley adam schiff even admitted it. My fear is these are all going to be delayed. Brian fear. He might actually have legitimate election. Actually determined at the ballot box. Ainsley allow the public to decide. Stev
