them so upcoming border executive order probably tomorrow could be too little too late. >> ainsley: plus, former president trump reveals his plans for the border if he wins in november in a tv "fox & friends weekend" exclusive. >> no, i'm going to do the big deportation, the biggest ever. eisenhower about the biggest. this would be bigger. but, it's a very tough thing. >> lawrence: dr. fauci is set to testify today as we learned there were no studies done to support 6 feet social distancing. what happened to following the science? >> brian: now he doesn't back it. i cannot wait to see that montage the second hour of "fox & friends" starts right now remember, comma, mornings are better with friends. >> ainsley: the white house expected to announce executive actions on the crisis at our southern border as early as tomorrow. >> steve: the a.p. is reporting that the move could shut off asylum request and automatically deny entry to migrants once a new daily threshold is reached. at this point we don't know what that number is though. >> lawrence: gillian turner joins us from the white house. gillian, what changed with this administration? it's been over three years and now they are taking action now, why? >> so we are anticipating some kind of announcement. as you guys know, the white house has been teasing executive action on the u.s.s. southern border from for months now. it is looking like something is about to happen imminently. the president, being reported by the associated press, is going to make an announcement before he departs for europe. that is tomorrow. leaving us with today, speaker of the house mike johnson says no matter what biden does now, it's going to be too little too late, take a listen. >> t too little too late, now is he desperately trying to show the american people somehow he wants to address the issue that he himself created. we documented 64 specific executive actions that president biden and secretary mayorkas at dhs took over the course of last three and a half years, beginning on the first day that president biden took office to open the border wide. they did it intentionally. >> the details of the big announcement are under wraps for now but the a.p. reports the white house plans to shut off asylum requests and automatically deny entry to migrants each day on a daily basis once the number of people encountered by border officials reaches a set cap number. officials tell fox there are no plans for the president to visit the southern border this week ahead of his europe trip. he was last there, you might remember, back in february. take a look at this "new york post" front cover today says biden's masked amnesty. migrants are free to stay in the u.s. as 350,000 asylum claims and cases are closed. the number of known migrants entering the u.s. has grown to over 8 million since the president took office. it's a number larger than the population of 38 states. recent fox poll found the crisis at the southern border is actually now the second most important issue for voters across the board. both parties. right now we're not scheduled to he soot president here at the white house today. he's going to have his first big campaign event tonight since the conviction of his former rival -- excuse me of his rival former president trump in new york. all eyes will be on that that is in connect cut this evening. >> steve: then is he off to normandy the next day. thanks, gillian. >> brian: border is a big debate. yeah i fixed it because you stopped the last one. the president has to have something to say to that like you destroyed it on purpose. >> ainsley: look at the cover of "the new york post." biden's mass amnesty. migrants to free stay in the united states as 350,000 asylum cases are closed. they don't have to trotter authorities. >> lawrence: there should be no doubt that the campaign arm is now running the white house, whether it was what happened with the student loans when he got polling that the young people were doing or what's happening, announcement with this that he is putting out there between hamas and israel. is he upset with the palestinian vote. and now this action. ains why do you think he is doing this. >> steve: we were talking about this last week as politico said there are people in the white house and the campaign and freaking out over the poll numbers. >> ainsley: debate a few weeks away at the end of june and election in november. >> lawrence: he needs something. >> steve: he needs something and this is his latest hail mary. we have another fox news alert. in just over an hour. hunter biden's criminal gun trial will start in wilmington, delaware with jury selection. the first son faces three felony charges for allegedly lying on a gun application. rich edson is live outside the courthouse in wilmington, delaware, with a preview. rich? >> hi, good morning, steve. the first of two criminal trials for the president's son hunter biden set to begin here within the next couple of hours in wilmington, delaware on those federal gun charges. jury selection is up for today, possibly the next couple of days here. prosecutors say that back when hunter was trying to buy a gun, in 2018, that he lied on a federal form saying that he was not a drug user, hunter's attorneys say they will challenge that assertion. this weekend hunter and his father were out near the president's beach home in rehoboth beach, delaware. the president is expected to speak with hunter daily during this trial. that's about two to three times more than usual according to the "new york times." this trial begins with jury selection about 250 potential jurors will start this process until they are narrowed down to 12 plus alternates. they will face questions about how much they may have followed this case. whether they see a connection between this trial and the fact that hunter's father is the president of the united states. special counsel david weiss' prosecution team has signaled they may call about a dozen witnesses here, which could include hunter's ex-wife kathleen buel and hallie biden who is beau biden's widow. beau is hunter's brother. hallie biden was once involved with hunter after beau's death. all meant to build the case that hunter was abusing drugs when he filled out that gun form purchased and firearm. attorneys reached a plea agreement that congressional republicans called too lenient. all fell apart when the judge maryelmaryelmary this hearing il will not involve those tax charges that is a separate criminal trial starting in september in los angeles. back to you. >> steve: so, witch. it sounds like -- rich, it souns if abbe lowell, some of the stuff we have seen in the pre-trial stuff, it sounds like what he is going to suggest that gun form at the center of this cases, he's going to present, perhaps, a gun store employee may have tampered with it because they have got a copy of it from before and after and somebody wrote something on it and it wasn't hunter biden. >> right there. was some addition to that form about certifying an address. and there were different copies of this form. so they are going to bring up discrepancy there. that is going to be key for the defense. the defense may also argue that the wording of that claim if he was addicted to drugs or not at the time. he had finished rehab at the time. what specifically that meant. whether it was specification enough to be included on the form or testified to, all of that is expected to be picked apart by the defense here to try to get hunter off the hook on this one. >> steve: try to suggest reasonable doubt. >> steve: thanks, rich. >> lawrence: anyone filled out a federal gun application knows that the people will give you -- they barely will answer your questions. they will barely touch the form. unless they are going to be pursuing something new. i think it's also before we go to what is actually expected today, to talk about how we got here. remember, last july, a federal judge looked at the prosecution and said hey, is there any precedent for this deal right here? they said no. then they look over to the defense goes, is there any precedent from you that you tell the court that something like this has ever happened, a sweetheart deal? and they said no. so both the prosecution and defense agree that the deal that they had worked out, there was no precedent for it. and just compare what is happening with donald trump to hunter biden where he gets sweetheart deals and then there is a unprecedented prosecution of a former president. >> ainsley: that's when the plea deal collapsed. >> lawrence: that's exactly right. in his book he wrote i was smoking crack every 15 minutes. all they have to do is create reasonable doubt in the jury's mind. and if abbe lowell who is a phenomenal attorney, one of the most expensive attorneys, if he can present that, and put some doubt in the jurors' mind get off. >> steve: takes just one. >> brian: no way any reasonable juror. not supposed to criticize the jury system. we know the o.j. simpson came out great. we're not supposed to criticize that either. buy as gun check as box not on drugs. writes a book is he on drugs. does the book on tape. don't worry, in the evidence is the laptop. you know where 51 intel agents said it was fake. david weiss and the attorney general who appointed him or he left him there. he says yeah, that is going to be evidence. so not only is it real, even though the fbi sat on it and didn't do anything with it. now it is going to be used as evidence against hunter biden. >> steve: one of the other things, the gun was in a gun pouch. a leather gun pouch. remember we heard they found traces of cocaine on that. well, as a turns out, one of the other things suggested by abbe lowell's team is that it's the chain of custody. it was never tested for cocaine for five years. and it sat in a police locker. so they are going to be talking about that. it's to your point it's all about reasonable doubt. >> lawrence: why are secret service agents going to go pick up the gun? >> brian: from the former vice president's son. >> lawrence: what is going on the secret service goes pick up the gun. >> brian: now they are denying the secret service did it. of course they did. went across she got mad. she got worried that hunter biden has got a gun, no kidding. >> steve: right. >> brian: she threw it in a dumpster by a super market got it back. secret service got it back not hunter. they have to throw out everything. now it turns out his ex-wife said owed about $5 million in alimony. all this stuff is going to come out. >> ainsley: bought the gun in 2018 in october. so they have to prove that on that date when he purchased the gun and he checked no, i'm not doing drugs, that he was actually doing drugs. >> brian: miranda devine in a comment in the "new york post" today and talks about the fact that joe biden has already visited with beau biden's widow and the former girlfriend of hunter. here's what she said. >> no one is in any doubt that the president of the united states is in town and keeping a very close eye on what judge maryellen noreika is doing in her courtroom on each one of those jurors that are being chosen today and the prosecutors and special counsel david weiss who is from wilmington. it weighs heavily on them. and joe biden has made a real conspicuous display being alongside his is on the last two weeks. it's been extraordinary the number of sightings getting on and off air force one at the white house, in the rose garden, at a state dinner. it's all sending a signal you don't have to say anything, you just have to say mess with my son, you mess with me. >> steve: keep in mind, you know, delaware is pretty much the state that joe biden built. his name is on a bunch of stuff. everybody knows he has been in congress and in senate for decades. people love him. >> brian: he also tells everybody all the time it was a slave state. he loves saying that. >> lawrence: i don't understand how the media is pretending because they keep saying this is a father's love for his son. he is not a minor. he is a grown man who is -- has a law degree as well. he can take care of himself but every step of the way, whether it was the drug concealment or having the secret service come pick up the gun or him, them stepping in, i guess when he wasn't helping with alimony talking with the x's and all that, sleeping with his brother's wife. not taking care of baby navy and apparently i guess joe biden agreed with it. wouldn't acknowledge the child. she mass no secret service protection. i mean, this family is a mess. and they are always talking about the trump family. talking about what they have. at least he takes care of his kids. >> brian: no problem with the trump kids who aren't kids. >> steve: one of the things talking about abbe lowell doing with the defense. we should point out that david weiss and the prosecution team. it sounds like they are loaded forebear. >> brian: by the way, is this a race? because joe biden is winning. is this a race? >> steve: brian, you always let the boss win whether it's golf or biking. today dr. flown fauci is set to is testify it in front of the house lawmakers who are pushing him to hand over his private email and his phone records as he and his top associates face new accusations over a covid cover-up. >> brian: fox news medical contributor dr. marc siegel is here. we already see the democrats are going to make this political because they are going to have a precommittee presser at 8:45. what do you expect to hear today? >> first of all, it's not political. it's medical because brad wenstrup, who is the chairman of this subcommittee, looking into coronavirus, his goal is to figure out a way that we can be prepared for the next pandemic. >> brian: right, dr. is separated from him. >> wenstrup brought lieu would he see in. we still don't know where covid came from. big debate whether manipulating viruses to test their potential known as gain of function research leads to pandemics or not. i personally think that's quite dangerous. >> brian: obama didn't want it. >> obama put a ban on it what was going on with bird flu in netherlands. we didn't know what was going on in this pandemic. we weren't allowed in to wuhan. we couldn't get boots on the ground. the cdc couldn't get boots on the ground. this is a long delayed thing. now we find out david lawrence, who is advising fauci is busy deleting emails and trying to evade the freedom of information act. you couldn't make this stuff up if you are writing a novel. what are the democrats doing? they got it get the truth out here. because we want to know what was covering up. steve right. >> there is a money trail. >> brian: text message trail. email trail. >> it isn't necessarily mean by the way that covid came from a lab. what it means is this the government sticking to one narrative. >> steve: right. >> trying to get everyone to believe it. >> ainsley: something that really bothered me as a parent, our children were in kindergarten and first grade trying to learn to read and they had to wear masks over their face and teachers had to wear masks so my daughter couldn't see the instructions or the mouth movement from her teacher. this is what the house oversight committee asked dr. fauci about masking our kids. was there ever a cost benefit analysis done on the unintended consequences of masking kids versus the protection it would give them he? said not to my knowledge. so, all of that for nothing? all these kids were delayed for at least a year? >> it's worse than that, if you recall, we were talking about this in 2020, you and me. and, brian, and steve, we were talking about how this was going to lead to learning delays woe had evidence coming outs of europe. >> brian: he didn't want to hear it. joe biden didn't want to hear it. this clown didn't want to hear it. nobody wanted to hear it and shadow ban you if you put it on social media. >> we were all child psychologist told me no child wears that mask correctly. even if does something no. one wears it. hanging off their face. as far as the 6-foot rule 6-foot rule. >> brian: made it up. >> 1919 flu. the flu studies, along with masks. with flu, studies show that 6 feet work. but, i was in nebraska -- a little bit this is the question on social distancing. 5 or 6 feet whatever. what the 6-foot is. see any studies 6 feet. no i was not aware of any. really? that would be very difficult to do do you believe this guy? for two years he told us 6 feet apart and now he goes i don't know where that came from. >> mark: 2013 study on flu. guess what? we studied in nebraska when i was out there. covid was all over the room. we knew at the beginning of the pandemic that this was spreading all over the place and the 6-foot rule wouldn't work. and you had to open a window. you needed ventilation. >> lawrence: doctor, don't you have to be upset as a medical professional. you are getting all this guidance and you are going on the wareways. you guys were slitted to go givo say masking and social distancing for years and you relied on them because you were the federal government. did they let you guys down. >> as you know i look at my own sources. i wasn't worried what they were telling me. i don't respond to propaganda, yeah, public health confidence, lawrence, is going way down because of this, because the first thing you say in science is "i don't know." >> brian: no, is he science you don't start imposing social distancing rules that cause a lot of problems and close schools. >> brian: never listening again. >> do you know why schools were closed because they couldn't get the 6-foot distancing. >> steve: if you remember originally the cdc said let's make it 10 feet. the trump administration pushed back on that and made it 6. what's curious is when he says we don't know of any studies, there were studies done in the 1950s and. >> mark: on flu. >> steve: and so what they have done is they were relying on old data. if it's a brand new pandemic, do a study. maybe they didn't want the answer though. >> mark: right. it's a different virus that travels farther. it goes on smaller droplets we knew that at the beginning. >> brian: do you think anthony fauci found out lying or walk away again? >> ainsley: what do you think? >> i think the purpose of this investigation is to figure out today what he knew and what he is hiding and what he knew when, and i think the problem with him is dogma. i have interviewed him multiple times. i think is he a really sharp scientist. the issue is he sticks to one narrative and that's the narrative and this does public harm. >> ainsley: he was involved in nih funding. >> yes, yes. >> ainsley: ains and no one understood why he was the end all, be all in this when he was involved in it. when he had something to lose immunologist. we need people to tell us public health. >> people like mike osterholm in minnesota. people who study public health their whole lives. >> ainsley: when you have seen this before covid. it's fine to tell the american people we don't know. we have never seen anything like this. bear with us. we are going to do some studies, instead of slapping marks on our kids and putting social distancing. sealing sealing supposed to be two weeks to bend the curve and ended up being two years. >> steve: flatten the curve it flattened us instead. >> brian: democrats are still going to defend him today like is he their uncle anthony. >> ainsley: doesn't have to be political though. he was the doctor under trump and hunter biden. >> his adviser morens was suppressing evidence and emails. >> ainsley: emails show we can teach you how to deleted your emails and text messages. how to avoid foia. >> we want to protect dr. fauci. >> steve: should be quite a dynamic. >> brian: we will be watching. i just wish democrats would join in on the curiosity train. be curious
