all right, we have a bunch of stuff to cover tonight. first, the former president of the united states is going to be sentenced to 34 felony convictions next week on thursday. the prosecutors, who brought that case, and who prosecuted in court, that case against donald trump, they were due today to make their sentencing recommendation to the judge. in a new york state case like this, it s not the jury that convicted trump that will decide what his sentence is, it s the judge who oversaw the case, judge juan merchan. trump could face four years in prison. it s very possible however, that he might not get present time at all, or if he receives confinement it could be home confinement. on the one hand, what he s been convicted of, while it is 34 felonies, it s a nonviolent crime, and also, he is a first- time offender. he s never been convicted of anything before. that would cut against him getting significant jail time. on the other hand he does have three other felony cases pe
kayleigh mcenany and emily compagno. fox nation host tomi lahren and in the center seat, fox news contributor guy benson. russia is moving tanks, all artillery, jets and warships in the position for a possible invasion into the ukraine. united states is sending military aid to the ukraine, $200 million most recently, antitank missiles. and that u.s. troops are on heightened alert, 8,500 at last count. present biden says this kind of invasion could change the world, calling it an imminent threat. but you might be surprised to learn what our president had time to do yesterday among the imminent threat. and that should have a s on the end. with the border, lots of stuff going on. he left the white house to pick up some ice cream. critics say the optics are awful. guy benson, let s start with you. guy: on the ice cream? is the president loves his ice cream, we know this. with all the threats that you just mention percolating right now and perhaps coming to a head, with the whit
the senior liberal justice followed by sotomayor and kagan. gives biden the first supreme court opening of his presidency. they have urged him to retire ahead of the fall s midterm elections. sandra: shannon bream, big questions whether or not he s choosing to retire now or forced to. well, we all remember over the last few years what happened with justice ginsburg, there was enormous pressure on her, op-eds, legal pundits, professors, law schools, people calling on her to resign so that her seat could be filled by somebody who was like-minded. she resisted the pressure. if anything, we thought it made her more resistant. i think justice breyer has much the same attitude. he s 83, leaves a legacy to be proud of on the court. many other interests, and he gets it. this is a smart, smart individual who is aware of the political climate. i think if he felt he was being forced into it he would not do it. if it feels like his own decision, and yes happens to be political pressu
Time for president biden to secure a new confirmation. awaiting a formal statement from his office, andy. we ve in on the possible replacement, some of those names i mentioned and some we put on the screen. well, i m going to do the smart thing here, sandra, and go with shannon, which is that i think brown jackson is certainly the favorite here. sandra: u.s. court of appeals. yeah, at the d.c. circuit, which is obviously very important court and often a stepping stone to the supreme court. the other thing i throw into the mix about her, i have not heard too much up until now, she s a breyer clerk. she clerked for justice breyer on the supreme court. and i throw that sandra: adding one thing to that, interesting note from our chad pergram on capitol hill, that brown jackson is the sister-in-law of former house speaker paul ryan. yeah, i still think i
We ll see what jen psaki has to say when she takes questions and what president biden may know and did the justice tell the white house ahead of this. shannon bream is live, she s joining us now. great to see you on this breaking news, all sort of still taking this in and trying to predict what this means and what will happen next. real quickly, when mike davis joined us last hour, he seemed to make a suggestion about how this went down, listen. it is surprising that the white house, the biden white house let this announcement leak and they let it get out there before justice breyer had the chance to make the announcement, i think it was bad form. sandra: i followed up right away and said do you know that to be the case? and he said he has not put out a statement yet. you have to wonder where the leak came from. would not have come from the supreme court. so in the speculation phase, we have not received the formal statement from justice breyer s
