all about this one gun form, hunter biden filled out in october 2018. >> hunter biden's attorney abbe lowell offered no reason for his client deciding not to testify in his own defense .38 caliber revolver. such a move would have been strategically risky. opening the president's son to likely intense cross-examination. in closing arguments. prosecutor pointed to more than a dozen msnbc of the biden family in the audience saying they don't matter. only the evidence does. which he called, quote: ugly and overwhelming. another prosecutor added no one is above the law. including the president's son. choices have consequences and that is why we are here. prosecutors reminded jurors of texts shortly after the gun purchase including this one. two days later. where hunter texted his sister-in-law, hallie biden, i was sleeping on a car smoking crack on fourth street and rodney. the defense countered he was lying about his whereabouts. after his august 2018 stay in drug rehab, hunter biden truly believed he was no longer addicted. when buying the gun two months later and did not knowingly lie. defense attorney abbe lowell telling jurors hunter may have been using alcohol, not drugs. lowell told jurors kicking crack cocaine is hard. kicking alcohol is harder. as she did today, first lady jill biden has attended nearly every day of court. shuttling back and forth between france where the president was on a state visit. taxpayers reportedly were footing the bill for the trans-atlantic travel there are now reports the democratic national committee will pay for some of

effective way to get everyone home, including the american hostages is through this proposal. >> gillian: while officials publicly pressure hamas sources say should biden's proposal fall apart. white house officials are considering negotiating directly with hamas. even casting israel aside is an option to free the five remaining u.s. hostages. one former ambassador says the white house should leave the negotiating to israel. >> that if the united states is going to negotiate separately going continue to crease the price of the rest of the hostages is creating a different category of hostages. >> well, hamas leadership tonight is responding to that u.n. vote earlier in the day. they say that they welcome a permanent cease-fire, but then go on to say their top priority remains the establishment of a palestinian state whose capital is jerusalem. it is far from clear that they have reviewed that deal currently on the table or that they are planning to sign on to it. trace? >>

fox news chief political analyst brit hume you are see donald trump there the he is going to save the world. democrats think is he going to end democracy. i want to talk about the eu elections because far right surge. two of the big topics over there clearly the economy and immigration, mirroring this country is there something we should read into this far right surge over there? >> brit: across the western world. we're seeing resistance to green party politics. especially in germany where the greens did very badly. we are seeing resistance to unfettered immigration. which is a big issue of course here in the united states seeing conference about the united states and economies. that became a powerful force in parliamentary elections in which the prevailing majority parties did poorly. and these insurgent conservative parties did better. conservative parties referred to universally in the western media as far right. i even heard you say it, trace. i think if you look carefully at the results of these elections and what some of these candidates and parties ran on talking about the same issues we in this country not so far right. i think mainly mainstream conservative is where we are there and there has been upheaval. macron called snap elections. the leader in belgium has quit. this is a big deal. >> trace: yeah, it is a big deal. speaking of big deals. i want to put up some of these headlines talking about the biden administration and their negotiation with israel. the cease-fire. we told you earlier about the u.n. approving biden's proposal for a cease-fire. but, look at some of these, brit. biden administration has discussed potentially negotiating unilateral deal with hamas. hamas official urges u.s. to pressure israel to end gaza war. blinken holds talks on gaza nut wake of israeli rescue raid and palestinian deaths. i mean, it seems fascinating to me that you have the biden administration potentially talking about dealing directly with hamas. a terrorist organization we need to examine that carefully. it's against the law in the united states, i believe for the united states to negotiate with a terrorist organization. in any direct sense. they would have to carry out any such connections or any such conversation with hamas indirectly which i guess they could do through qatar or some other intermediary agent. so far hamas has rejected yet mother cease-fire proposal. this one accepted by all parties except hamas. whether hamas would be interested this doing business with the united states remains to be seen. maybe it would. but, i think that, you know, if it were to be done, the effect might be to undercut israel. israel wants to go ahead and finish this war and finish off hamas it. believes it can do that the united states, obviously, has a different view of that and although it is supported that goal in principle anyway. this is interesting. as you suggest, trace. i have my doubts as to whether anything will come of it, but, here we go. >> trace: yeah, i'm told we have 45 seconds, brit. my question, my point in this thing is what does this do to benjamin netanyahu? what does it do to the relationship here where you are going directly to hamas? >> well, i would say two things about that. one is as the events of the weekend proved, it's never wise to under estimate the israelis. when you are following israeli politics it has not been a good idea in recent times to ever under estimate benjamin netanyahu. he is a survivor the first rank. the gantz departure from the cabinet, i don't think, is going to effect him very much. his only hope, i think, of long-term political survival is to carry this war through to successful conclusion. that won't save him necessarily but without it i think he is done. >>

prosecutors through doj in this trial but more specifically, blew through the statute of limitations on the fara charges to register as a foreign agent a cardinal sin in the prosecutor world would have led to bigger problems with team biden and joe biden himself with the money trail. all the money in this trial in the laptop tawas paying for all these drugs and for the late nights with the

to push this away from the american people and on the more serious charges. prosecutors were perfectly fine with allowing those to lapse. >> trace: meridith mcgraw, she is talking about the drugs. and really you can't ignore the evidence. you put this up on the screen this is from the prosecution october 13, 2018, one day after buying the revolver, hunter biden texted hallie biden that he was waiting behind blue rock stadium for a dealer named mookie. the text reads: why won't you answer my calls? where are you? where are you with somebody? bernard hangs 7-eleven green hill and lancaster.

family, for hunter biden and really revealed. so most embarrassing personal details about his struggle with addiction. and his defense has tried to say that he was in denial about his own struggle with addiction during all of this. and his family has, you know, come to his further there in the courtroom. we saw first lady jill biden there with him in court. but, you know, the prosecutors have

hard to ignore jill biden sitting behind the panel. jonathan turley, guy benson, said the following. watch? >> i think the odds are that he will not get jailed. but, this was an open and shut cases.

it's a brief stent. >> trace: there is a scenario, guy, where hunter walks free and you got donald trump behind bars for some paperwork. >> guy: keep in mind there is also another trial for hunter biden scheduled in september in the thick of the fall election season as well on tax related charges. katy made the most important point. joe biden and the doj tried to discuss pell with a sweetheart deal they almost got away with it but they didn't. i have spoken to a number of legal experts on the right side of things who say maybe this should not have been brought as a charge against hunter biden. no, others say this was not just a lie and try. he actually lied and got the gun then disposed illegally of the gun and tried to blame on people he think looked like illegal immigrants. have you unseemly thing to do on top of everything else. what the lawyers all seem to agree on is at least on the facts of this case this is open and shut in terms of his guilt. the question is do all 12 jurors agree with a very biden friendly jurisdiction and venue like delaware. >> trace: yeah. and the next question is does joe biden consider pardoning him he keeps saying nope, nope, nope. not going to happen. constitutional attorney mark smith explains why he thinks it might happen. >> there has been questions about joe biden's behavior in the past. some of his alleged business dealings and the like. so one could actually see a scenario where joe biden pardons hunter biden and perhaps associates associated with hunter biden in various ways so they don't in turn turn state's evidence against, let's say, joe biden. >> trace: katie, your thoughts on the part? >> the goal is to keep joe biden out of prison. -- hunter biden out ofprison. the other full pardon to commute his sentence. while the president has said he won't pardon him there is the opportunity to commute his sentence which allows him to stay out of jail but allows the biden team and president joe biden to continue to say that they believe nobody is above the law, including his son. >> >> trace: kind of go full circle, meredith what katy was saying. prosecuting attorney breath tolman on why he thinks the doj decided to wring this case. >> i think this is the less every of the evils that they could bring. i think they were refusing to open a legitimate investigation into what the irs whistleblowers were revealing. the hunter biden corruption. the corruption that included his family and most likely his father. all of that was thrown under the rug. why? because they could go forward with this kind of case. >> trace: yeah. we now know they put road blocks in front of those whistleblowers, meredith. >> yeah. we'll have to see what the jury comes back with, of course, when this case is decided and as guy was

biden family. >> trace: guy benson, 20 seconds. >> guy: i think that if joe biden is going to do something, whether it's a commutation or pardon for his son, i would bet that it will happen and bet

increased risk of guillain-barré syndrome was observed after getting shingrix. fainting can also happen. the most common side effects are pain, redness, and swelling at the injection site, muscle pain, tiredness, headache, shivering, fever, and upset stomach. shingles doesn't care. but shingrix protects. ask your doctor or pharmacist about shingrix today. >> for three and a half years, the people of nevada have had a front row seat to joe biden's evil and criminal obliteration of our southern border. >> donald trump has made it very clear that if he steps back into that white house he will rule as a dictator on day one. he will seek -- he will use the white house to seek political revenge and retribution on his political enemies. >> trace: yeah. and we recall back with our panel. bring you back now on this thing. the biden campaign you kind of look at this thing, guy benson they will not let go of the whole dictator narrative and rights to assault on democracy if trump is elected president. >> they think that's pashtedly one of their stronger points. maybe they focus polled it. donald trump has been president for four years. he might think he pushed too far in certain respects, but he was always constrained by various institutions. institutions held, including the check and balance of a free press. which was very aggressive against him far less aggressive against his successor. you might say in a second term he would be unleashed. he wouldn't care because he wouldn't face the american people again. those institutions still exist they can fear monger. a lot of voters want to know can i get back to where i was and where my family was financially in circa 2019. that's something that the biden team isn't speaking to well at all and it could cost them. >> trace: yeah. meredith, you had kamala harris sizing up her competition meaning trump's v.p. pick. she said the following, quoting here. what we know donald trump wants an enabler. he doesn't want a governing partner. he doesn't want another mike pence and i think that's clear. the litmus test are they going to be absolutely loyal to trump over country or oath of office or frankly the american people. and, again the theme goes on, meredith. >> it does. i was really interested to see the vice president talking to our own politico today about those vice presidential picks as we learned last week. trump's campaign has reached out to a list of about 8 people, ranging from senator marco rubio and senator tom cotton. governor burgum and others for vetting documents as they ramp up the search. and trump is expected to, of course, make that announcement at the convention in july. but, harris and the biden campaign have made clear that they're going to tether whoever trump's vp pick is to trump. they are looking at things like their positions on abortion and other policy positions and we have seen a push from the dnc and other democratic organizations to raise questions about trump's slate of v.p. picks and where they stand. >> trace: katie, i'm going to go to you now. breaking news come in. this is regarding the trump document case in florida. the judge there aileen cannon has denied trump's request to dismiss the case but she did allow a paragraph from the case to be stricken. we are now letting our legal experts kind of go over that paragraph to find out what it is and how significant it is and we hope to have some context on that for you coming up in moments. meantime, katie, fox news writes the following here about trump getting a warm reception and piles of campaign cash during sunny blue state swing. goes on to say when all the money is counted, the presumptive republican presidential nominee is expected to haul in roughly 27.5 million from the fundraisers he held in california and one in las vegas, nevada, late last week. and this past weekend. i mean, listen, he is not going to win california, katie. but he was treated well in california and came away a bunch of cash. >> katie: well, it certainly makes democrats nervous and it makes it so they have to look at the map and say okay, where do we have to actually spend resources to defend our turf. >> as joe biden continues to try cobble his base together ahead of the election. that's not a place democrats want to be. they want to have the blue territory solid. they don't want trump eating into that but is he making it uncomfortable in places like michigan, nevada, and while is he talking about not taxing tinns. where people in las vegas are saying i vote for trump for that, you have the spokesperson for the biden campaign talking about the weapons of government when a number of people in polling think the system has been weaponized against the former president. >> trace:
