Brian this is thursday, april 25th. This is fox friends. With you you are watching former President Donald TrumpConstruction Workers 6 30 eastern time as today he got a massive day for him legally but he already had a great start. Probably emotionally. Ainsley it was so smart of him to do this now everyone across the country is talking about it and will be throughout the day. Hopefully he will do Something Like this every day before he goes court. In just a few hours he will be back in that New York City courtroom for this is day seven, right, brian . Brian yeah. Of his criminal trial. Alexis mcadams is live. Wherever would you rather start your morning midtown manhattan, Construction Workers and Union Members got to catch a glimpse of former President Donald Trump had quite a throat say. He spent a lot of time shaking hands and trying to talk to Construction Workers. Many of these guys who say they were lifelong democrats now just fed up with how the country and where the country is heading right now he says he is focused on gaining ground here in New York City and believes he has what it takes to connect with these voters. Watch. [chanting we want trump] not a democrat in there built a lot of great buildings in this city with these people. And they have given me great support. They are really amazing. Do you know what . They are very, very talented people. They dont get the credit for it. They have very few people can do what they do. So the former president was joined by local Union Members about a dozen unions at least im told in new york. And its a deep blue state. Construction workers and lots of supporters got up early to talk about ongoing projects in New York City and quality issues for everyday americans. Thats who is out here. Every day americans. Every day new yorkers who want to see change in the big apple. The trump team telling me that Union Workers are paying the price for bidens failed economic policies, but says the focus was and remains on how trump cares about the average worker here in this state and across the country. They say President Biden is not out fighting for every day americans. But its important to point out, right . This comes just one day after President Joe Biden did secure another unions backing the head of north americas building trade union. The president has been working hard to court Union Workers but so has donald trump. Back out here live we can tell you we are expecting possible, right, more campaign stops. Because if he has to be in a New York City courtroom throughout the week, why not hit midtown, midatlantimidatlmanhattan. Probably didnt think he would be campaigning in harlem and on park avenue. But thats how things are going he thinks that he can turn parts of this Deep Blue Area baby bright red. We will have to see what happens. We will see what happens. Brian for the most part has the crowd dispersed . Yeah. Everybody kind of hit the road after the motorcade moved out of here. We know trump is usually right in court down there in downtown around 9 00 a. M. Or a little bit before that. Thats when we will see the next action with his motorcade. We do know he is back now at the trump tower probably preparing for another long day that courtroom, brian. Ainsley putting on long johns because its cold apparently in the courtroom. Alexis, did you talk to anyone who was there . What was their feeling after he left . Well, we talked to some people who got here early, ainsley, to try and set up a spot so they could camp out to see the former president and a few people afterward. They were just excited. They think whether People Democrats or republicans a former president coming down here. They want to talk to him and shake his hand and see what he has to say. People, one thing a lot of people we talked to when were out on the Campaign Trail we agree on they want change. Whether its for their pocketbook or whether things happening with immigration. Those are kind of the top two issues that voters out here, including the Construction Workers say they want to hear trump talk about and see what he would do in terms of changing things. Charlie when you say people were gathered there early. How early is early and how would they have heard about it. They heard about it through some of these people vetted and cleared from security. So in terms of who was out here probably people that kind of knew about it from the trump team so they could have some people out here who are supporters. I dont know if it was early as you guys got up for fox friends but they were here early enough to try and catch a glimpse of the president. And the president appreciated all of this support out here. You know, he said its a great day here in New York City. He built so much of New York City. So he is happy to talk to these Construction Workers and hopefully turn some of those lifelong democrats and these unions to republican. Brian right. You know, a alexis, even thougha ton of tourists and might have a big time tourist high this year. Its crime and lax of punishment. Knowing that is a big issue and then construction, when it documents commercial real estate, it is cratered. People have not come back to this city since the pandemic you got some empty Office Buildings and apartment rent as you know, ainsley, through the roof. So new york is in need the rent in this city is outrageous. Astronomical. What you are paying when you go to grab something at a Grocery Store or restaurant. Dish out two to three times more than people in pay in other cities. Let alone prices in other cities are up. People your own economics and your own pocketbook, they are sick and tired of it so i think at this time trump thinks is he connect with those people. Ainsley when you move to new york, everyone knows if you are in your 20s, you cant afford rent alone. You have to have roommates. And we know, alexis, all of us who live here. You will hire someone. Get a one bedroom and they put up a wall in the middle of the bedroom. Hopefully its large enough. She is on one side and she is on the other side. You split the rent equally. Taxes are so expensive here. Thats why you have seen at love republicans leave. Because they have gone to florida. Some democrats, too. But they cant afford it here or they want to save their money and they are facing retirement. Charlie when you let a million illegals into the country and federal government actually pays to house them in places like New York City, its surprise, surprise, living prices goes up. Thats what happens when you let a million illegals into the country or more. Brian check in with you again. Not easy to go up town. Downtown to cover the court case. Downtown and cover nyu unrest. Or the chaos in the little city inside columbia university. So alexis has a lot to do locally. Ainsley midtown here covering trump. Charlie about 8 00 last night she was doing the protests up there. Brian she is getting time and a half. Charlie there you go. Ainsley she needs it to pay her rent. Ainsley trump will be back in New York City courtroom for day seven of the criminal trial. Charlie former American Media ceo david pecker. Brian kind of interesting the president said david is doing great. Todd piro outside the new York Supreme Court he will be there today. Todd, you are going to be in the Overflow Room, right . Continuing direct. We will see if we get into crossexamination. As we know so far pecker has already testified to working with former trump Attorney Michael Cohen to bury negative stories about donald trump before the 2016 election. He testified about a catch and kill deal he made with a trump tower doorman. The prosecution, keep this in mind needing to prove that the former president was directly involved in these plans and the big take away that such action was somehow illegal. The former president also accused of Making Payments To Adult Film StoreStormy Daniels also expected to testify during this trial. Listen to this her former lawyer michael after actually slamming the case, watch. I disagree with President Trump on about 95 of the issues at a minimum. But one thing he and i agree on and that is that the politicization of these cases is uncalled for and its flat out wrong. Court is expected to resume at about 9 30 this morning behind me here. One major piece of information that we are awaiting is the judges decision in the gag order. We are expecting that, according to reports today, im heading inside right now into the Overflow Room. Well be keeping tabs on the trial. Trying to provide some context to exactly what were hearings from a legal perspective. What matters, what doesnt. Im going to bring that to the fox news viewers throughout the day. For now back to you all in the studio. Brian what i have heard by the way, todd, the Overflow Room is the best because can you see multiple angles. If you are in the courtroom can you just sta stare at the back f the president s head. In the Overflow Room you can see everything. That is how it is in so many courtrooms throughout the country. When you get in that courtroom you are in see. You cant move. The seat is uncomfortable. The seat was built in like the 1930s. You cant see anything. They are not focused on Major League Baseball sidelines they dont care. You sit in a sign. Its you have to hear. What i was a lawyer i would be a lot of times what did they just say . Cheat off the person next to me. Overflow room should be able to hear a lot. Headed in in a few seconds. Charlie hopefully warmer than the courtroom. Todd yes. And outside. Because its for somehow for april 25th, it is somehow ridiculously cold still in the new york metro area. Brian, janice and ainsley, charlie do something about that please. Brian talk to the weather people they are on the 12th floor. Ainsley take your puffer coat in there with you. Now to washington where david spunt is live outside of the Supreme Court ahead of the Oral Arguments on trumps president ial immunity case there hey, david these arguments will begin at 10 00 promptly this morning. The justices always claim they want to stay away from politics but today they are entering the nerve center of the 2020 president ial election whether they like it or not. Now, former President Donald Trump, he claimed that the allegations levies against him for trying to allegedly overturn the 2020 president ial election occurred during a time he was still president. Therefore he cannot be indicted. He spoke no president would able to properly function without complete and total immunity. Special counsel jack smith says trumps behavior continued after he left office. And he should be prosecuted full stop. This case was supposed to go to trial in early march. But it was delayed when the Supreme Court agreed to hear the case. Now, arguing for the special counsel today, a man named michael dreefn, he previously worked on special counsel Robert Muellers team. He is screen left. Screen right is john sour. Former law clerk to the late justice antonin scalia. The justices they say that they are probably going to take this case for about two hours today though it could go longer given the stakes here. If they rule in trumps favor. His case in washington, d. C. Could essentially go away. If they rule against him, the motions, everything will start moving again the train will start moving for trial. Several months away. We may see a trial late summer, early falls, who knows if that could be delayed further, perhaps, past the election. Back to you. Brian big Media Presence there already . Big Media Presence barely anybody from the public. Little surprised more people from the public wouldnt be here definitely a Media Presence. Brian at the very least your supporters. You think they would have shown up. They are sleeping. In we expect them to arrive a little bit later. They will come later, exactly. Brian david spunt, report for duty. Ainsley bring in fox news legal editor kerri kupec urbahn. Good morning, kerri. You have been in the courtroom every single day. You are going back today. You said it is better to be in the Overflow Room because you can see the faces. What will they be doing today and who will argue for each side . So we have michael Degree Vin Arguing for the Department Of Justice he was on special counsel bob muellers team. I want to remind selfselecting he selected himself to be the. Now selected himself to be on jack smiths team to Gover A Trump now. Keeping that in mind. And then we have trumps lawyer and john morrow who clerked for antonin scalia, michael luttig. Solicitor general for missouri. Represented the state before all appellate matters, state and federal. So, yeah starts at 10 today stakes are going to be high. Not an answer until june and thats expedited. We dont know when. The normally very last day of june. First week of july sometimes. Given the stakes. Given how they have been expediting this all along. I would say a few weeks or a month which would be fast for the Supreme Court. But the stakes are incredibly high, into the just President Trump future of the presidency. Should a president ing be prosecuted for acts in office . Thats very significant question. Because official acts or acts can be pretty subjective, depending on who is on the other side of prosecuting. So if the supremes kick it back down to the Appellate Court and say, you know, to try to split the baby how long did l. It take before they does it kick it past the election . Willed only way that jack smiths case goes on at this Point January 6th election case against donald trump is if the Supreme Court just union lat terminally affirms what the lower court has been saying. If they split the baby in any way, we go back to square one. They have to figure that out with the courts and whats thats going to look like. Charlie take months, at least . Yes. Of course if they were to rule in favor of the former president , just cart blanche then the january uth case goes away. Charlie it kills it. Brian lets talk about what has been accomplished so far. Tuesday you may remember, wednesday they had off. David pecker back on the stand. What is the prosecution approach then and what are they going to start with today. They certainly pulled back the curtain on the underbelly of the Tabloid World in New York City, which may be seedy, but is not illegal. They did not reveal anything that was criminal in nature or that directly related to Donald Trumps payments to Michael Cohen who paid Stormy Daniels. Again, unclear what this underlying crime is that donald trump is alleged to have concealed. And so, that was really the extent of it. We learned that david pecker, the former publisher of the national inquirer, he and donald trump had a mutually beneficial relationship. I thought that was interesting. Donald trump apparently sold him the most magazines. It was in his benefit to put him on. When he heard donald trump was running for president , he saw an opportunity to help him but also help himself. So he said he would be his eyes and ears on the ground and if bad stories came his way, he would let trump know. And then he ended up at least with respect to karen macdougall, he bought the rights to that story, which is a Playboy Playmate that said she had an affair with donald trump. Bought the rights to and it squashed the story. Which again is a common practice. They may not like it or think its think. It is not illegal. We are in a court of law. There needs to be elements proved to support that. Sounds like incestuous relationship between the Washington Post and the biden white house. Ainsley exactly. I was sitting there thinking it sounds like an article in national inquirer. Ainsley there was a story that was suppressed and the New York Post was the only one reporting it and suppressed by other Media Outlets right before the election about joe biden. Brian the laptop. Ainsley exactly. When you are sitting in that courtroom, do you think any of the jurors are saying oh, now because of that, he is guilty. I think they just might be confused of why are we hearing all of these testimony from david pecker about t
