president donald trump. let's listen to the speaker. >> i made the point introductio of him that is back fantastically on the democrat party in the activists who were trying to use our judicial system to exact political vendettas up gets the primary opponent that they have for their control the country. what we have seen is outrageous. we've also seen the polling and fundraising and everything else going in the direction of the target. president trump has it set fundraising records. he raised a $53 million in the first 24 hours after the verdic and the terrible bug astrayal i manhattan. i think it shows people understand what's happening. we also set fundraising records and continue to use use announced he's raised over $400 million as of the verdict came down in much more to come. because people see it's a threa to our republic. they see it's a threat to our system of justice. they want to push back. and in many ways president trump 's become a symbol of that. pushing back against corruption the deep state, the weaponization of the judicial system and that's a very encouraging development. i think he made the point every time they invited him his poles went out because people see exactly what's happening. we have to fix it and we will. >> is the former president of his endorsement--or does he wan you to continue to be the speaker after november election. >> he that complement everything 's about all of us. we have sustained applause. he said i'm doing a good job. we are grateful for that. we have to have continuity and leadership. we hope to have a plan of the b carefully executed. when he became president for th first time in 2017, i was a freshman in congress at the time . a lot of people on capitol hill does not expect it would be the eventuality. they did not believe that we would have unified government where the republican party woul control the white house of the sitting in a house. so we lost a few steps in the beginning of the congress of 10 congress. the plan was not fully prepared in the implementation lab a bit. when i could make that mistake again. what we are doing right now you never put the cart before the horse. we have to plan to lead because our resume problems to fix it. we are working through that right now i spent a lot of time talking to president trump abou what happens after the election. and we have to do that it's our responsibility. i will be with him again on verilog on monday we will talk more about this in some other races. he's excited we are excited wit think it will happen. it's a good working relationship . >> a trump brought up encourage republicans too support abortions for incest or--is tha something republicans should ge behind? >> president trump the way he addressed the issue this mornin he said make sure that you exercise your own conscience. talk about it share your conviction. and do that in a way that makes sense to people. i think he made a good point. he said that after the decision that the states are handling th issue right now and that's wher he is comfortable keeping. we've made the point to that before you can have political consensus on a difficult issue, got that cultural consensus. right now we don't have the numbers in congress to do anything on the federal level. that's the reality. to get 60 votes in the senate o something would be a great challenge. we don't sacrifice any core principle. we all believe in the sink to human life and everyone has to go to their districts and explain in their own way. president trump encouraged everyone to do that. i think that's important. >> [indiscernible] >> one more question on the endorsement front there is a comments in that room--how frustrating is it to see the leader of a party all agreed--i still taking shots at members? >> president trump has been a great partner over all and endorsed his record is 285-0 in canada as he supported. he's been very helpful to us. he's worked along the way. as a speaker my job is to protect all incumbents and i'm doing that the best of my ability. each race are individual. and that they're can be determined by the people on the ground. our compass out running the bes rates as they can. i think they will perform well in the end. they get weak appreciate time. >> so we were just watching tha they had their meeting. we do know that former presiden trump is due to go talk to republicans in the senate. you listen to the house speaker and he mentioned that he set to then go to mar-a-lago in florid and meet with the president in the coming days as well. wanted to give you a little bit of that breaking news after their meeting. it reunited as we say on capito hill with a former president. the head of the republican part in terms of its ticket, the presumptive nominee for the presidential campaign. coming up. we will keep you posted on when he meets with the senate republicans as well if that happens this hour we will bring you what we can life. >> fox news alert president biden is back on the world stag and italy for the g7 summit. it's been a tough week for bide on the front. he's getting ready to meet with ukraine's president vladimir zelenskyy a few hours from now on the world stage. his up his foreign-policy is often cloudy at best. dangerous at times. i am thinking of afghanistan a particular with the whole world watching today he will face reporter questions for the firs time since his son hunter becam a convicted felon. a full day. we are waiting to see president biden's unscripted response to that and that took criticism over his hand of russia's president vladimir putin. he arrived in italy right after announcing more than 300 new sanctions against russia. why? apparently, in spite of of its plan to choke russia's ability to fund the war against ukraine. general jack keane has his doubts. >> they're not in the tank as the sanctions were supposed to be. i think it's because were not tough enough on the secondary sanctions of our countries stil doing business with russia. namely, china. it's a major supporter of russia . hopefully these at sanctions at their imposing now will have th diligence to enforce at them an to make certain that there imposed. we'll wait and see. >> later today president biden is due to sign it a security pact with ukraine promising americans extended support. here is a national security advisor, sullivan. >> [indiscernible] --our commitment not just this month but they see year. for the months ahead to condition ten years support ukraine. --so ukraine could be a sovereign viable, thriving democracy and a grid of its partnership. >> and focus, us congressman brian bounced to florida. first will go to peter doocy live at the white house. >> harris, at this joint press conference with the zelenskyy, president biden will take two questions from american reporters into questions from ukrainian reporters. for for chances are for someone to ask him whether or not there is a loophole in this it promised not to pardon hunter biden now to his top visuals ar kind of cagey about a possible commutation. >> what i am saying is i have not spoken to the president about thessa. >> not a no. hunter's adult grandkids appeared to be traveling with her grandfather. but for some reason officials won't say which grandchildren are there. g7 leaders at the meetings will focus heavily on russia's war o ukraine as a pentagon officials attract russian vessels doing drills in the caribbean. the defense official is telling us in accordance with standard procedures we've been actively monitoring the russian ships as they trans at the atlantic ocea with an intimate international waters. much as the planets are part of routine naval activity was posing a direct threat or concern to the united states. white house officials want credit for telling ukraine they can start using us weapons against it targets inside russia . we have this new graphic from the institute for the study of war and it shows 84 percent of weapons at the us is giving ukraine can't be used like that which means that the us weapons cannot hit any russian air base and it cannot hit the majority of russian air defenses a. of the biden team is looking to lock in support with the new agreement to make it harder for future presidents including possibly trumpet to leave ukraine hanging. >> we are committed to support ukraine as it builds up its defenses for the next at ten years it. is a demonstration of vladimir putin that he cannot out laughe ukraine he cannot outlast us he cannot outlast all of ukraine's partners. and if g7 organizers can keep things running on time, we should be within about three hours from hearing about all of this from the president himself if he has asked. >> i can imagine they wouldn't ask him. i am shocked. peter doocy, thank you. get it vote republican congressman brian mast and florida is on the house foreign affairs committee and on the middle east middle east subcommittee. the congressman is an army combat veteran and a recipient of both the bronson start a purple heart. we welcome you. let's start with ukraine and russia. this latest move by president biden i went to get your thoughts on the sanctions against russia to see if they can take some resources away from someone who is is already now be invaded. >> the issue of economics and resources boil down to one thin and that's soil and gossip. you can juxtapose this to america he cut off american oil and gas. he did not do that in europe an the russian economy is continuing to grow that's why they had the ability for you to continue and fight this war in very substantial way. i don't have a high level of competence on what he will do what sanctions is the right kin of offense we are looking for. again and again we have an administration that does not believe in that adage that offenses the best defense and w can bring about to what's going on in cuba and the atlantic as well. >> we will get two that in a second her general jack keane say something similar to those would be the types of sanctions that would make a difference anyway. peter doocy showed outs the biden team announced they removed it most of the restrictions on the use of you provided weapons against target in russia most. actually only 16 percent of possible use of their long-rang weapons is in play for ukraine. 84 percent of those weapons capability is still under prohibitions appear yet at this like a head fake. >> when you look at this, understand in this way. practically every ukrainian cit is leveled because russia invaded and work to level those cities in the perspective that needs to be looked at on this, why on earth what we tie their hands behind the back of the ukrainians? why would we prevent them from being on offense of any kind of way? why would we prevent them from bringing the fight to the battlefield inside russia proper ? that doesn't make any technical sense. if you want ukraine too win and if you are hopeful that what they're putting forward right now, the tenure security partnership, why would you weaken them by not allowing the to be on the offense of? it goes to that statement made before. they don't see offense as the best defense of they don't get deterrence as a result. >> it's also a presidential year . and if we have seen it once, we'd seen a dozen times with th current president kind of at splitting the road on his foreign policy. i went to get to two more thing with russia. breaking earlier this morning russia finalized at their indictment of of wall street journal reporter reporter ever grocery bits. he will announce dam to trial and espionage charges. moscow accused russia vets and it russia federal security of the arrested him on reporting trip back in march of 2023. he's been imprisoned ever sense that he faces up to 20 years in prison if he is convicted. the us vehemently denies the charges against him in insists he is wrongfully detained. as the current administration that everything can do? have they played every card? i've had a number of classified briefings on this. it recently as of yesterday. the administration is working a lot of different angles. i think it would you compare this to other wrongfully detained incidents, you have to say who is at the russians went out of this? why would we prioritize some other people to get released fo being detained as opposed to these individuals? what are they getting in terms of aid? what's going on in terms of the work? all of these things come into play about about what you can make a deal for forgetting someone out of that wrongful detainment situation. i can only say this, they are looking at all available options . unfortunately i can't have a rate. >> classified meetings. at that gives that many people including his family i would imagine a lot of hope. the conversation continues. i want to get this and quickly. this felt close to home. cuba is only 90 miles away from key west. russia sent warships to cuba in the past. they've done it before. the two nations us and them are long-standing. cuba and russia are long-standing allies. why are they doing that now wit cuba? >> of making a statement betwee it russia, cuba don't leave venezuela out. there is a coalition. timing absolutely matters they will put the president on his heels as he looks to say anything about a security cooperation with ukraine. again, i think it shows the way they're willing to fight we hav a president that's for the military focusing on pride mont as issue focusing on making sur that the palestinians get a war meal in dade newport if bay bridge instead of focusing on very specific national security objectives directly in our own backyard. that's the difference russia will go to our backyard to tie this back to your claim will tell ukraine don't actually go into russia's backyard at. >> on the of heidi's you mentioned that the war with israel and hamas loosely becaus you talked about the palestinians. >> i don't know if you watched avenue should get before he set it. secretary of state anthony blinken yesterday said $670 million have been given fo the purposes of food and aid fo the people in the palestinian gaza. he said that he was watching another 400 million that was going to be part of that. it not of it us money although most of it is. how much is hamas getting? any idea? >> i can't put an exact number on up anything that goes throug gaza goes there hamas to includ everything on that port. let's make one specific point and that is that these are not ransom payments to get the american hostages held back. were talking about wrongfully detained, when not giving money saying hey make sure we get those americans back. >> one more on that because that's an important conversatio to have. we have a lot of things to him so glad you're here. with the hostages are, baaeed and biden reportedly wants to talk for his administration was to talk directly to hamas which would cut out israel. that would only be if we though we could get all of the hostage back in. i am not hearing that. >> there is one reason and one reason alone that the biden administration was to talk directly with the palestinians whether be hamas a palestinian islamic jihad--brigade whomever. that's because they believed they could work it outside of having a conversation with netanyahu who they believed tha netanyahu is a spoiler. they're working with the other near europe air of nations and they want to see as we'll cut out of the conversation whereve they can. that's the stance of this administration. >> you when i both know how man thousands are fighting for american citizens. they have dual citizenship. that is literally working against our own best effort. >> absolutely. >> i what it then ask, would it lead to a widening work? if one enemy sees what you are willing to do like it has a lot in lebanon. what would they be thirsty to do . right now terrorists with the largest market yet have hit israel. more than 200 rockets running that down in a barrage yesterday . saying in response to israeli forces killing one of their top commanders. your response. >> you just todd you could also tie yemen into what in the red sea. this goes all the way back to the biden administration or rather the obama administration and we were working with yemen, they wanted to take out the who these the obama administration prevented the because they wanted to send aid there. these administration the democratic ministrations are constantly holding back people were working with him for america's best interest and we end up having to come back and clean up the mess later that's what's going to happen with lebanon. with all of those it that iran is supporting. this will be the path because w don't go on offense or prevent her ally from going on offense at. >> i want to put both wars into context. 839 days we have watched after russia invaded ukraine. don't get a lot of pressure fro this president forcing one side where the other to reach a cease-fire. tens of thousands of people hav died in that conflict. all the pressure seems to be on israel too end a war that hamas started. a terror started october 7, why? >> they don't have the strength. you have a policy and its administration that he equates strength that evil. wherever that is domestically o abroad they equate strength wit evil. you look at this and say even i the face of getting an israeli hostage rescue have a number of individuals of the questions at the left is asking was a many people had to be killed in orde to rescue those hostages instea of recognizing that the people that were killed were killed because they were supporting hamas or helping them provide rockets or a place to howls of those that are wrongfully detained or they were working the tunnels or working the military supply chain and some kind of way. they don't want to tie them things together they went to se everyplace about america are ou allies are showing a strength a a place we must've been steppin on someone wrongfully instead o seeing the world for what it really is. it's really evil. it's not because it's hard. >> organization not lot of the president according to a scheduled on the world stage today. at only g7 will watch all of that. i'm glad you were here to help us get to the early part of the day as we watched what happens. congress and thank you. >> fox news alert the house judiciary committee is holding hearing on what they call political prosecutions. just minutes ago, chairman jim jordan took a that manhattan district attorney alex bragg's office. the prosecutor donald trump and his trial. a jury found the former president guilty as you know of all 34 counts. >> also never forget november 2022, president trump announced he was a candidate fo president of the united states. in just a few weeks later, alvi bragg hires a former senior biden justice department official matthew colangelo to come up and when the prosecution . the history of taking on president trump and his family' businesses and had also worked for the new york state attorney general. alvin bragg partisan da that campaigned on going after president trump who is newly hired at lead prosecutor for th case also had a history of taking on president

trump scheduled sentencing. we will monitor this healing an bring to the out of it. >> a possible terror attack has been thwarted. new york police department officials pulled over a man reportedly
