of live events this afternoon, including these three. we will be monitoring them, covering them here on the fox news channel. moments away from the white house briefing with press secretary karine jean-pierre and john kirby who just got a promotion, by the way, she will incur questions on the ex employees sieve robert hur report, more on that. and 2:30 p.m. eastern time, the pentagon will hold its own press briefing with defense secretary lloyd austin back in the hospital on the cusp of a trip, and a shooting at joel osteen's mega church. >> promoting clean energy and industries in the future, made in america, what i didn't realize, and i've been around i know it don't look like it, i've been around a while, i do remember that. [laughter] [cheering]

>> john: president biden joking with his age and memory a short time ago and at any moment now, the white house expected to brief reporters as the president's allies rush to his defense following the devastating special counsel report. and with that, we begin a monday afternoon of what promises to be a very busy week. hello, john roberts in washington. buckle, sandra, here we go again. >> sandra: welcome everyone, sandra smith in new york. "america reports". democratic lawmakers are in full damage control mode after the big week last week and many are turning attention away from the report to focus on the president's record. >> john: voters are far from convinced a second term is the best way forward. overwhelming 86% of voters say the president is too old to serve another four years. >> sandra: so right to peter doocy live at the white house. what is the biden team doing to

counter growing concerns about the president's age. >> they told us last week this was coming and we saw it for the first time in its now iteration today, trying to turn talk about the president's memory into a joke. >> we are promoting clean energy and industries of the future, made here in america, made in america. what i didn't realize, and i've been around i know it don't look like, i've been around a while. [laughter] i do remember that. [laughter] [cheering] >> and people there laughed but his problem is a lot of people don't think it's a joke. 86% of those polled by abc news and ipsos think president biden is too old for another term, including 73% of democrats. >> should have been a period of time a long time ago jill biden and some others in the west wing surrounding him had gone to him and talked to him about this and got him to voluntarily just resign, but that has not happened. >> officials are claiming

mentions of president biden's memory were put in a special -- put into this report by a special prosecutor who felt pressure to please republicans and now the president's personal lawyer is saying the october interview was poorly conducted. >> the special counsel's decision to cherry pick in a very misleading way some of the references that you are discussing here is an example of what i call a really shabby work product. i didn't come away from the special counsel failure to ask precise questions and think to myself he has mental acuity problems. i just thought he was asking bad questions. >> the vice president, kamala harris, is also now putting out the word that if there is an issue with president biden's health and he has to step aside, she says she is ready to lead and that anybody who has watched her in this job knows she is ready to lead. sandra. >> sandra: peter doocy live at the white house, we anticipate the briefing shortly. thank you. i'm sure you saw the opinion pieces over the weekend, "new

york times," the "new york times," biden has a week he would like to forget, age and memory rise to the center of the 2024 presidential campaign, where the age issue is hurting biden so much more than trump. it was a big week last week so we do anticipate it will be a big moment at the white house press briefing to defend a lot of those concerns. >> john: not only that, but the abc ipsos poll, 86% of americans think he's too old, including some 70% of democrat, that really shows where the sentiments of the country are in this moment. we'll take that up with jerry baker later in the program. now a doubleheader for former president trump and his legal woes today. he is attending a closed door hearing in a florida court on the classified documents case against him. he's not in georgia where there's another hearing underway. we have team coverage, steve is live outside the fulton county courthouse in georgia keeping an eye on the fani willis hearing. and civil rights attorney leo

terrell is standing by to weigh in on this, but dana marie is in miami. >> different criminal case because of the sensitivity of classified documents involved in it. we did see trump's motorcade arrive at the courthouse and right now the sealed hearing is happening in a special room that can hold classified documents, it's called a scif, sensitive compartment facility, protects from electronic eaves dropping. his co-defendants are not there because they don't have the security clearance to see the documents. this complication has caused delays in the place since preparation takes more time. they are talking with the judge, a trump appointee, about their defense strategy and this afternoon another session for the special counsel where they

are going to talk to the judge about their own strategy. this case is scheduled for may later this year but expect the judge to push it back or reschedule for a later date because of all the complications surrounding these special classified documents, john. john all right, the latest from florida. thank you. sandra. >> sandra: in georgia, fulton county district attorney fani willis faces a hearing about a romantic relationship with a prosecutor she hired to run the trump racketeering case. steve is live outside the courthouse covering this. so, steve, what is the fight over today? >> sandra, the key question is when exactly did this personal relationship between the d.a. and the prosecutor she hired and paid more than $700,000 to, when did this relationship begin. fani willis, the d.a. and nathan wade both say it began only after wade was hired.

wade even gave an affidavit to the judge saying it was only after. but defense attorney says the two of them are lying and she has the witnesses to prove it. >> if it turns out that whole story was false, there will be very severe consequences for this. i would think at a minimum, it would involve disqualifying her and mr. wade from this prosecution, but there could be other consequences too if it turns out they lied to a judge. >> a hearing on the matter is set for thursday. right now, fani willis is trying to squash subpoenas so she won't have happen. in one hour's time we could find out whether or not a judge agrees with her. back to you. >> sandra: steve, thank you. see you again soon. >> john: leo terrell, a big fani willis and nathan wade hearing on thursday, what do you think should happen here and what do you expect will happen? >> i'll tell you, thank you for

the question. the judge has to do the right thing. the hearing today to determine whether or not witnesses, including fani willis and nathan wade and others who have knowledge to testify. if you are going to search for the truth, you have to have these people testify. so i think it is a foregone conclusion the judge has to allow individuals to testify as to whether or not fani willis and nathan wade -- here is the magic question, john, had a relationship before -- before the filing of these charges against president trump and 18 others. why? it determines a personal motivation to file the case and whether or not her boyfriend is involved in that. that is the key issue, john. >> john: right, and what jonathan turley said in a fox news op-ed that came out yesterday, the two prosecutors have insisted that they only became intimate after willis hired wade, contending that was in 2022. wade's former lawyer has

reportedly come forward to contest that claim. that allegation if true could make the continuation of willis and wade in untenable. it will not necessarily end the case but will provide options for the office. two grounds disqualifying a prosecutor, one is forensic misconduct or conflict of interest. and the conflict of interest has to go to this idea that the prosecutor has a personal stake in the defendant's condition, you indicated that they absolutely might. then a second issue. apparently they swore an affidavit that this relationship did not start until 2022, but there's information from wade's former divorce attorney that it started before she became the attorney general back in 2021. if they lied to the court, what are the implications there? >> thank you for that question. i'll tell you exactly. i've been a lawyer 30 years.

if i lied to the court -- lawyers have an obligation to be honest and candid to the court. i should expect my law license to be in jeopardy immediately and legal career gone immediately and that's what is at issue, john. there are witnesses who are willing to testify under oath that the relationship started beforehand. and that is critical to this. let's also remember this. fani willis wants to block everyone from testifying in this case. yet she'll go into a black church and play the race card to tamper the jury pool. think of the hypocrisy of that. $650,000 or more to nathan wade. he's not as qualified as others, he's never prosecuted a felony case, it has the smell of a corruption case involving two individuals who tried to gain the system. one other very important point, president trump a victim of this and 18 other defendants. they have a perfect -- if they

are disqualified, they have a perfect selective prosecution case against the state of georgia regarding these charges. >> john: clearly fani willis wants to control the message, she chose the message and the venue. switch gears and nypd and attacks on their officers appear to be far more prevalent than the public might know. we had the video of the two officers who were being beaten up by the allegedly by the illegal migrants, but these statistics, you know, going back to 2019, 4200 attacks on police officers, on track last year for that number to rise to 5436. there's problems with retention in the police department, problems with recruiting, charged suspects allowed to walk free after the attack, is it any wonder nobody wants to be a cop these days, or very few people? >> well, john, this is the summer of 2020, riots, george floyd scenario, where the democrats in these democratic

cities have been soft on crime, they are soft on prosecuting criminals, and they do not back up the police. remember, defund the police. so, it's not just the migrant situation, this is an ongoing process and they have decriminalized attacking law enforcement. john, no civilized society can operate without law and order. the democrats are experiencing that in los angeles, chicago, philadelphia, and new york. that's the problem. so, this is the ongoing problem, it needs to change immediately. >> john: yeah, i think a lot of people would like to see that, nobody is making a move in that direction. leo, great to have you kick us off today. thank you, my friend. >> thank you, my friend. take care. >> sandra: breaking news, the police have identified the person who opened fire at joel osteen's mega church in houston yesterday. william is on this for us. what exactly are we learning? >> so we just got ahold of the search warrant and confirm the shooter is identified as a

36-year-old genessee moreno, she had been born a man from el salvador, and she pointed an ar-15 at the officers, off duty officers who were in the church at the time, and they fired upon her, killed her and was considered in self-defense. also there was word that the woman had claimed that she had a bomb and she had a backpack, they checked that out, it was not true but she was in possession of a yellow color rope and substances consistent with the manufacture of explosives, they thought it was a detonation cord, turned out not to be the case. and the 5-year-old who was with this woman is likely not to make it, this -- the 5-year-old boy has been in critical condition

and according to the houston chronicle, it does not appear that that individual is going to make it. a 57-year-old man was also shot in this altercation at lakewood church there in houston, which of course is operated by celebrity pastor joel osteen. that individual, he is going to be ok, he was shot in the less. but we have seen a lengthy criminal record on this individual. again, as a man, he had a lengthy record of assaulting a police officer, marijuana, also got a lengthy record here, several different offenses over about the past, since 2005. so, that's what we got from here, and news conference scheduled for 2:30 eastern, should get more information. >> sandra: 2009 assault of a police officer in houston, william, 2010 forgery, 2022, a

misdemeanor weapons charge for unlawful carrying a weapon. william, 2:30, an update from the police there and we'll take that live. did you have something to add? >> no, just only on the ar-15, he had written, scrawled, free palestinian. >> sandra: a big and growing part of that story. and william, we have the picture now of the suspect up on the screen. >> yeah, and we have five of those photos we are loading right now into the computer system, but when you look at the progression of this individual over the last 5 or 6 years, definitely had a pretty hard life because there's a great transformation from the first photos from the mug shots taken to the one you are seeing right now. sandra. >> sandra: born as jeffrey moreno, goes by the alias

genesse moreno. john, hand it off to you there. >> john: keeping an eye on the white house press briefing in damage control after the report. jerry baker is up next and whether biden needs to step aside for 2024. plus this. >> i want you to remember, it's ok to spend money as long as you are spending money intentionally and planned and has a purpose. >> sandra: love this. coming up, gen z newest trend. it could help young americans save for the future. online influencer is here why loud budgeting is gaining a lot of steam. you might learn something. veteran homeowners, car payments are getting out of control. get a newday 100 va cash out loan at lower mortgage rates to pay off those high rate car loans. i brought in ensure max protein with 30 grams of protein!

>> sandra: as promised, another busy news afternoon, we are watching the white house press briefing, john kirby is at the microphone as concerns grow over the president's mental fitness, skipping the traditional presuper bowl interview did not help with voter's concerns. instead, he used the big game to criticize big business in a pretaped video. watch. >> anything like me, you like to be surrounded by a snack or two while watching the big game. you know, when buying snacks for the game you might have noticed one thing, sports drinks bottles are smaller, the american public is tired of being played for suckers. i'm calling on companies to put a stop to this. >> sandra: oh, man, who going to tell him? jerry baker, i say who is going to tell him, that's not the way the free markets work? >> what are the chances that biden was still watching or went

into overtime. taking on big snack, right, is that what they are going to do, the next big target of this administration. i also think -- it was a strange thing to do, the setting was strange, empty movie theater. it reminds people of inflation, and people don't blame snack companies, they blame the government because the government is at least in part responsible for it. so an odd thing to do, not only because it kind of made no sense, also because as you point out, he skipped the traditional interview, reminder that he's not obviously capable of conducting a long interview, reminded people one of the main reasons they don't like this president is prices have gone up so much in the last three years. >> sandra: now full defense mode, i mentioned some of the "new york times" headlines, the "new york times" headlines, biden has a week he would like to forget. the daily mail, topped their

biggest headline. the week the biden would like to forget. now the adds are -- >> one thing we can be fairly sure of, joe biden has forgotten it. >> his aides and cabinet members coming to his aid. >> the most difficult part of a meeting with president biden is preparing for it. because he is sharp, intensely probing, and detail-oriented or focused. >> i didn't come away from the special counsel failure to ask precise questions and think to myself he has mental acuity problems, i just thought he was asking bad questions. >> this kind of sense he's not ready for this job is a bucket of b.s. so deep your boots will get stuck. >> sandra: they can sell it all they want but are voters buying it. >> sandra, the more they do this, the more implausible and absurd it sounds. if they would say look, he's an 81-year-old man, he forgets

things from time to time, capable of doing the job, he's fine. when they say he's sharp at a tack, can run 100 meters in ten seconds, he beats me, works 18 hours a day. no one believes it. >> sandra: the last thing kjp said he rides his bike. >> we know what happens when he does that too. but this attempt to tell the voters hey, you are stupid, what you see when you see him go out as he did last thursday in that press conference, get angry with reporters, and the anger and anxiety and irritability, sure sign of an aging person, we have all seen it in aging family members we know, he does that and then has the memorable gaffe where he confuses mexico and egypt. people see this. a poll last week, sandra, i think, had, what, 80 plus percent of americans saying joe biden is too old to do the job as president. no amount of gaslighting the american people with he's the

sharpest man we have seen in the office, he's faster than me, i can't keep up with him, nobody believes that. so they have no alternative but to continue this reality denial. >> sandra: the nbc poll reflects voters' concerns on this, whether or not he has the necessary physical and mental health for a second term. 62% of respondents to this new nbc news poll say they have major concerns in that poll, jerry. >> yeah, and look, i will say this, though, sandra, i think they are stuck with him. you talk to democrats privately and they don't give you this nonsense you hear on the talk shows, yeah, voters think he's too old, and nine months from the election, the election will see him if elected for another four years, what's he going to be like in five years. >> sandra: still the nominee. >> can't have an open convention, they are stuck with

him. john. >> john: israeli defense forces revealing a massive tunnel system, guess where it was. underneath the united nations agency headquarters in gaza. what that agency might have really known. >> sandra: and fox news alert to the dow and the big board, a brand-new record high for the stock market, looking at the dow, up 223 points. almost 39,000. it is another record breaking day to start the week. we are going to have mr. wonderful himself, kevin o'leary, he'll be on next. tell us what's going on.

>> sandra: a shocking revelation in gaza, israeli military officials say they have discovered a network of tunnels directly underneath the united nations agency for palestinian refugees. in moments, retired army colonel

joe bachino breaks down the operations on the ground there, but mike tobin is live from tel aviv where military officials say they have now rescued two hostages. mike, how did they get them out? >> well, just before 2:00 a.m., sandra, israeli special forces snuck into the center of rafah at the southernmost end of the gaza strip. we have new video we can show you of the airlift rescue of these hostages. they had developed intelligence that they were in this one particular apartment building where some of the video you may be able to see the special forces gathering around. they went into the second floor of this building, blasted the door, grabbed the hostages and the three men who were guarding them. that triggered a firefight. israeli air force struck another part of rafah to prevent hamas reinforcements from showing up. fernando marmon, luis hart were airlifted out of the gaza strip,

reunited with family already. this as israel's prime minister says a large israeli force will soon go into rafah. >> we believe it's potentially more hostages in that area, that's why we have to act and develop the plans to act in that area and again, you hear that prime minister. rafah has -- >> meantime in the north of the gaza strip, israel also uncovered a large tunnel they said acted as an intelligence hub for hamas. the catch is it ran underneath an unrwa facility and no way it could have operated without the unrwa employees at least knowing it was there. >> the tiling in this room shows you just how sophisticated some of the construction of these tunnels are. you see all of this wiring that connects to the surface. it also connects to racks and racks of computer servers and communication equipment. now, given the fact that all of this electricity is here, connected with the surface, a

lot of communications equipment in another room, also connected with the surface. given the fact this tunnel stretches about a kilometer, we traveled to get here underneath a kindergarten, underneath a u.n. school and right now we are about 25 yards under a u.n. headquarters. so, with all the construction noise out of here, simply the amount of dirt that had to be pulled out of here and moved somewhere else, israel says the unrwa employees on the surface had to know something was going on. >> and this comes after israel presented evidence that at least 12 unrwa employees were directly involved in the october 7th massacre. but looking to the hostage release, israeli army spokesman says this underscores the importance of the idf continuing with the offensive in the gaza strip and likely pushing south into rafah.

>> john: former centcom spokesperson, let's start with this tunnel complex and looks like some sort of a headquarters bun ker underneath the unrwa headquarters, and construction going on for some time, reports the parking lot was sinking, and when asked about it, people are like i don't know. but speaks to two things. first of all, hamas is hiding its operational facilities underneath a u.n. headquarters and then u.n. folks had to be turning a blind eye to this as mike was just reporting. >> it's not terribly surprising, john. over the past 5, 6 years these two organizations melded together, hamas which controls almost all aspects of life in gaza and unrwa, which has 12,000 workers in gaza. and you know, unrwa, if you think about the original mandate out of the 1948 war, seven decades ago, had a mandate to care for palestinian refugees.

now they consider virtually every person in gaza a refugee. and so over time these two organizations kind of meld together. i'm not surprised. i think what you need is another organization to go in and provide for the refugees and dissolve unrwa. >> john: had the two hostages rescueded in rafah, operations intensifying down there almost along the border with egypt, president biden at the same time seems to be increasing the pressure on netanyahu to go for at least an extended ceasefire, john kirby was talking about that a moment ago, if not a full blown ceasefire, the back and forth between biden and netanyahu at this point. >> i'm of the view as you know that the conduct of the response in gaza -- in the gaza strip has been over the top. >> i don't know what he meant by

that, but i can tell you where we are. look, we were attacked in the worst attack on jewish people since the holocaust. so, what would america's response be? i would say that it would be at least as strong as israel's. >> john: a similar situation, al-qaeda attacked the united states on 9/11, nearly 3,000 people died, america went back, got rid of al-qaeda, at least knocked them way back, got rid of the taliban for a while, israel is doing the same thing with hamas. it's just that it's in an intensely populated area. >> intensely populated area, you've now got a million and a half people in this tiny city of rafah that normally has 300,000, there's no place left for them to go. you've got to find these hostages and you've got to eliminate these four remaining battalions, and you really do have to take out sinwar, the hamas commander. you've got all that happening here. it's a very dire situation. you have 600,000 kids there.

so it's just a very dire situation and really it's going to be tough for any other way to solve for this for the idf. >> john: quickly about lloyd austin. unlike the last time we got a statement from the pentagon that he's back at walter reed military medical center with complications again it looks like from the prostate surgery. him out for a while, delegation -- delegating responsibility to his deputy, joe biden, people are saying he's too old to run for re-election, morgan ortagus thinks all of this taken together is very intriguing to our adversaries. what she said. >> from a national security perspective, when you have the press conference thursday night from the president and then whenever you have your secretary of defense hospitalized for a second time within a matter of days, our enemies are looking at our national security chain, not being as robust as they should be either mentally or physically. >> john: do you think that's

true? >> my father died of prostate cancer, i wish lloyd austin a speedy recovery. he should have resigned after the scandal last month, and if he's incapacitated, president biden seems to have a macro understanding of geopolitical issues but struggles with specific country's names. it's not good. they have to find another secretary of defense to come in. >> john: if you are china or russia and looking at this saying what? >> saying there is opportunity here. there is opportunity right now. the administration looks weak, the country looks weak and maybe take advantage of this. >> john: joe, let's hope that's not what they are going to do. see what happens with austin and biden. now this. >> money is a tool, it's not something you should be scared of and not something that should always evoke negative emotions as long as you are spending it

wisely. >> sandra: a new tiktok trend inspiring the youngest generation to save for the future. inspired budget creator allison baggerly will be joining us live on that. >> john: replace george santos' seat in congress, bryan is there, what are voters telling you on long island, bryan? >> behind me is a temporary migrant shelter, where democrats are spending big and why republicans think they may have found the winning formula to win big in november, next.

biden's week last week, they are asking about the president joining tiktok to campaign for his next term. let's listen here. >> as you know, there are folks here who are commissioned officers who certain people are allowed to have conversation with the campaign but i can't speak to any specific conversations that are happening about this particular issue. again, it's under review, i want to be mindful and not get ahead of that and it is the campaign, that's something they have to speak to. and the reason why it is banned on government, a government phones or government properties, obviously devices, is because that is an act of congress. that is something that congress wanted to put forward to make sure that no government devices are used. >> were you aware before the campaign -- >> no, i am very, very careful as the white house press secretary. i'm in a different kind of in a different box than most and so i do not communicate with the

campaign on any strategy or anything like that and so i'm just very, very mindful of that. i did not know -- i knew as you all did. >> follow-up on the special counsel report last week. when ian sams was here on friday he said the white house was considering releasing the transcript of the president's interview with the special counsel which you all have objected to that characterization. update on that review process? >> so look, certainly i'm going to refer you to my colleagues at the white house counsel. i know the president's personal attorney obviously spoke to this on one of the sunday shows yesterday, so i know there have been responses, the team here has been responsive to those specific questions. i just don't have anything to share. >> also the discussions i have, the president -- creation of the task force to change policies around the handling of classified information in a presidential transition.

update when the president will create that task force? >> i don't have any updates on that particular question about the task force. >> the president's personal notes from his time as vice president were among those items that were reviewed by the special counsel and neither agency found they -- >> sandra: all right, so we are going to continue to monitor this briefing. obviously, john, the white house is being questioned about its recent comments about tiktok and banned on government devices but the same time the president now using it to reach a younger audience for his campaigning. >> john: yes, but of course karine jean-pierre as always punting on that question because she can say oh, it's the white house and that's a campaign thing. i'm not going to talk about it. speaking of politics, new york holding a special election tomorrow for the seat left vacant by congressman george santos' expulsion. two are running for the seat in a tightly contested race. bryan live in new york city.

what are the top issues in the race? >> surprise, surprise, john, immigration here in new york's third congressional district. residents here have clashed over the temporary migrant shelter that you can see behind me, those big white tents. it houses about 1,000 male migrants and it is directly across from an elementary school and playground and republican candidate, an immigrant and staked her campaign pretty much on the migrant crisis. >> the families, nobody asked them, it's impacted the quality of life it's a big concern and we need to secure our borders. secure it as soon as possible. >> republicans are hammering democrat tom swazy in tv ads, calling him sanctuary swazy and cla claiming --

>> and opponent the same old extremist lines, refuses to support the bipartisan on immigration and as a result there won't be change. i'm offering change. >> now he is ahead by four points in the latest poll but it's in the margin of error. on the question of who likely voters trust in addressing the influx of migrants, pilip leads swazy by nine points. >> we are all from immigrants, just come here legally, let everyone go through the process. >> seems like a lose-lose for both republicans and democrats. >> just want the crime rates to go down, secure the border and make sure we are living in a safe society. that's the main concern. >> republicans hope a pilip
