money off her story and admitted to hating the president. trump's team requested a mistrial. judge merchan shot that down despite admitting parts of her testimony were irrelevant. ted cruz says this is unfair to trump. can't get a fair trial in new york. this judge is hard left partisan, so is the prosecution. the judge yesterday was talking about throwing donald trump in jail because he's daring to exercise his first amendment rights and speak out. >> brooke: trump's defense team is asking new york appeals court to not limit what he can say about the trial. his team is asking them to rule on the constitutionality of the gag order. trump said it is hard to sit

back and listen to lies knowing if you response in the most m modest fashion, you are told by a corrupt judge you will be put in prison, maybe for a long period of time. judge merchan held trump in c contempt over social media posts and fined him $10,000 and warned future could result in jail time. >> todd: stormy daniels has more chance to self-destruct and hurt the case. fox weather alert. two dead in tennessee and one in north carolina as another tornado outbreak sweeps the south. severe storms churn across the country. 22 million people are under a tornado watch across eight states as communities from alabama to carolinas suffered from mother nature's wrath. >> carley: in addition to tornados and heavy rain, heavy hail pummelling southeast

trying to do something to fix it, they see the same polls we do. black voter support in 2020 87% compared to now, 64%. ja themail, you are a trump supporter and you are hearing from people who are not that now tell you they understand where you are coming from. >> a lot of people in 2008, when my son was murdered, a lot of people were saying i was used by the white plan and now they see for themselves, they see illegal aliens are getting everything, black men are not getting anything. you see nothing but latinos. i'm not saying they are bad people, what about us? we're americans and are here first. take care of us first, not last and last resort when you find

bad in 2020 and people started to believe that. now people can contrast what biden was doing and trump was doing and we like what trump was doing. we were prosperous, everybody was working, crime was down and people saw future and now we're being taken advantage of by democrats and you see illegal aliens taking over and criminals doing whatever they want to, robbing and stealing, can't nobody have a car anymore. every man for himself. what the hell is going on? >> carley: double digit drop with black voting block is significant, they are trying to fix it ahead of november. thank you both for joining us, have a great day, great perspective. update in multi million gambling scandal involving shohei ohtani and his interpreter and now

after 30 years of research, brain scientists have discovered the key factors that can cause mental decline in memory issues and a breakthrough solution. i'm trying to get a thought across and i can't find the right way to say it. i noticed as i've got into my 50s i started feeling like i was like a little more forgetful, a little more brain fog. introducing neuroq, the breakthrough brain supplement that can help your memory, focus and concentration to improve the quality of your life every day.

neuroq delivers multi ingredient multi action brain care and was developed by one of the world's leading brain doctors, doctor dale bredesen. we've been studying the brain for over 30 years and have identified key factors that contribute to mental decline as we age naturally. we use these results to formulate the neuroq supplement with the precise nutrients needed to address these factors. very specifically, neuroq contains a key ingredient clinically shown to influence brain performance in as little as seven days, and within just two months. a combination of ingredients found in neuroq has been shown to help improve memory focus and concentration. i feel like it helps with my mental clarity and focus and getting things done, as well as my memory and recall. some of the key factors that affect mental performance as we age include reduced blood flow to the brain, reduced production of neurotransmitters, decreased renewal of brain cells, and the presence of toxins and oxidizing free radicals. we formulated neuroq to address all these factors.

it fuels, it boosts, it renews, and it protects your brain. unlike other brain supplements that only address one or just a few factors, neuroq is a comprehensive multi ingredient, multi action formula that delivers noticeable results. in an internal study, four out of five neuroq users saw significant improvement in just 30 days. i would say within a week's time i was able to think clearer was the first thing i can see that there is an improvement just in the tasks i have to do around the house. once i started taking neuroq i was like things were just coming right back to me very quickly and i was really excited about that. call or go online now to find out how you can try neuroq during this limited time offer for $49.95 plus get free shipping act now and you'll also receive neuroq's fast dissolving sleep now oral strips to help you sleep better. a $20 value free when you order. you'll also receive the neuroq cognitive evaluation

grand jury on 10 counts this week including malice murder and kidnapping with bodily injury. the 22-year-old was attacked while out for a run on the uga campus. she suffered blunt force trauma to the head and asphyxiation. he also spied on a campus m member. >> todd: stormy daniels will be back on the witnessstand today. daniels testimony on tuesday was deemed by many, including the judge, unrelated to the case. the judge rejected motion for a mistrial. gene hamilton joins me now. as to this longer cross-examination, to give stormy daniels more time to self-destruct on the stand. bad for prosecution, great for

defense. your thoughts? >> you are right, that is the purpose of an effective cross-examination. show the jury what she is saying might not be true. she self-imploded with statements she did not have to make on tuesday. it shows herran mus in bringing claims and charges against donald trump. >> todd: when she says, i hate trump, i want him to go to jail, defense isser chooing, the jury hears that and thinks bad about stormy daniels. left wing media even acknowledges how bad stormy daniels was for their case. >> the cross-examine, her responses were draft rus. does she hate donald trump? yes, of course she does. that is a big damnn deal. >> some of what she said might generate sympathy for trump. for all today was fascinating

and i'm sure everybody is fascinated, as was, i but most is not relevant. >> todd: gene, anything star witness michael cohen can do to resuscitate the case or is this thing all but done? >> i think it is all, but done. michael cohen doesn't have much credibility himself. more time the defense can have folks on the stand and attacking truth of their statement, more they can show true motive behind this sham trial, which is this was a political prosecution to achieve political persecution of donald trump to take him off the ballot and keep him from being next president of the united states. >> todd: other big news in trump legal processes, georgia court of appeal will review the bid to disqualify fani willis from the

georgia election case. how do you see the court of appeals ruling on this, gene? >> weville to see, as a trial judge, if you look at the trial judge, judge fmcafee, you don't want to create an issue. we think there might be something here, an appealable issue. is fani willis in fact unbiassed and not tainted by the fact she hired and her boyfriend financially benefited from the employment on the charges. this all goes together, like the new york trial, both things undermine public confidence and integrity of the judicial system. people who have biases, judge, prosecutor or witnesses taking the stand, every american has right to due process and be free

unless proven guilty by jury of their peers and folks are undermining confidence. >> todd: if fani willis is allowed to stay on this case, no way this happens before the election because they just threw a huge wrench into her plans and that is not good for her case. big delays. thank you, appreciate it. >> carley: update on a story that being roed the sports world. shohei ohtani interpreter will plead guilty to stealing millions from the star. new report connect the interpreter to a reality tv star. >> todd: the intrigue. here are the details. >> good morning, todd and carley. united states attorney's office describing the former interpreter as de facto manager. in 33-page document, he agreed

count of bank fraud and false tax return and faces 33 years in prison, five years of super vised release and fine of $1.2 million. he is expected in federal court for arraign mment. >> carley: hope shohei ohtani can put this behind him now. >> todd: maybe i should not share a bank account with andy cohen. >> carley: i agree. >> todd: can we fight? not us, on the screen. bruins and panthers face off in the stanley cup playoffs. things get heated when two all-star players, they got into a brawl. watch. >> off the bench.

cheryl casone. >> cheryl: a lot of moving parts overnight. this group of migrants in denver have a long list of demands as they were moved from outdoor encampments to shelters. migrants enacted tent camps and police have been sweeping those up. they have been come being back and recreating them. migrants say they will go to shelters, they want to cook their own food, want the city to pay for ingredients, they want work permits, free legal representation, they want buses for their children and want this in writing. it is migrant advocates pushing the demanding. this time we set for individuals, seven days in shelter, a hotel shelter. seven days,a gresive case

management, which is a huge win. another advocate echoing sentiments, as well. >> there are complaints about food being spoiled or not enough. they are not receiving official housing or immigration document support. >> cheryl: denver police have been dispatched to clear out camps, they just reappear. they want visits from doctors to shelters on regular basis and ask referral for specialty healthcare needs they have. i use "they" in a loose term, all of this is being driven by people you just saw on your screen going in and being the voice for the migrants. >> carley: this is not migrants, these are ngos. you don't have to take this, these are list of rules you should be demanding. >> cheryl: taxpayers of denver

are footing the ball for all of this. >> carley: staying on this topic, biden administration expected to announce new rule that could see migrant asylum claims rejected earlier in the screening process. we see video showing illegal immigrants scaling the border wall in san diego and snapping selfies while breaking the law. joe wilson joins me now. congressman, good morning. itun sos like good news, biden administration cracking down on illegal immigration. if you look at details, what they are considering is speeding up asylum claims for migrants with criminal records. under current law people who pose a risk to our country can claim asylum and have asylum claims play out. what do you think about this reversal of law that should not be in effect in the first place? >> you are correct. what this does, reveals we don't

need new laws, we need to reinstitute and resume what donald trump did and we would have secure borders. what they are proposing is a fraud and we just need to enforce laws we have. with speaker mike johnson in january, at del rio, what was occurring at eagle pass and we have great leadership with mike johnson and having laws enforced, we can achieve better than what they are trying to do. >> carley: we showed a video and introduced you this video at san diego sector shows illegal immigrants scaling the razor -- wall and seen taking selfies. it is a normal day on the southern border and nothing is being done to prevent this. what does need to happen to make sure scenes like this don't

happen anymore? >> carley, we need to enforce laws we have and actually at san diego, it is very dangerous, thousands of military-age chinese are coming across. there is no question, the fbi said attacks are imminent in the united states due to biden administration allowing illegal aliens and terrorists to come into the country. >> carley: 2009, former president obama was giving a speech and said two words during that speech and took criticism for it. >> also those who claim reform efforts would ensure illegal immigrants, this, too is false. reforms i'm proposing would not apply to those who are here illegally. >> lie. [booing] >> not true.

>> carley: associated press reporting 100,000 immigrants brought to the u.s. will enroll in affordable care act under directive by the biden administration. your thoughts? >> i apologized for that. the issue is still alive. what is occurring is biden administration is providing healthcare to illegal aliens and denying healthcare for american citizens. this costs nearly $20 billion a year. it is ironic you showed colorado. healthcare system in colorado hospitals are at risk of collapse because of number of illegal aliens. it is totally irresponsible, it is insane. the policies administration has. >> carley: if this goes into effect, it would go into effect

when people come, they say they've tried lots of diets, nothing's worked or they've lost the same 10, 20, 50 pounds over and over again. they need a real solution. i've always fought with 5-10 pounds all the time. eating all these different things and nothing's ever working. i've done the diets, all the diets. before golo, i was barely eating but the weight wasn't going anywhere. the secret to losing weight and keeping it off is managing insulin and glucose. golo takes a systematic approach to eating that focuses on optimizing insulin levels. we tackle the cause of weight gain, not just the symptom. when you have good metabolic health, weight loss is easy. i always thought it would be so difficult to lose weight, but with golo, it wasn't. the weight just fell off. i have people come up to me all the time and ask me, "does it really work?" and all i have to say is, "here i am. it works." my advice for everyone is to go with golo. it will release your fat and it will release you.

>> president biden addressing the anti-israel protest in a new interview last night saying he hears their message but does not condone violence. we are still seeing violent scenes like this showing antifa mob attacking a journalist this week.

watch. >> come on, fat boy. >> we should call the cops. >> you have outside agitators like antifa who are 40 years old. losers with no jobs. go back to reddit. >> john, than the journalist in that video and he joins me now. seems like that message from our leader, joe biden is not getting through. describe what happened to you there ? >> like many of the college campuses across america right now. there is massive pro-palestine protest and you have activists who have taken over the quad here at the university of washington. it started off with students but now infiltrated by older people, essentially. people who are not students. outside agitators, professional protesters. antifa, the far left activists. and they are really pushing their agenda. their agenda is to destabilize america. and they are taking advantage of this volatile situation.

and, unfortunately, it's now become violent. you have criminals in these encampments. you have people who, again, are pushing this sort of marxist communist, socialist agenda under the guise of, you know, being in support of palestine. but it's not even about, again, palestine anymore. it's really about just protesting and causing chaos. >> yet the squad lawmakers refuse to acknowledge what's really going on. listen. >> it is incredibly disturbing though, y'all, that my colleagues are so quick to denounce the student protesters but are silent about these young people, about why they are protesting. >> from gwu to wash u and everywhere else students have been violently beaten without provocation. they have been arrested and charged with disproportionate offenses. >> todd: your response to them, jonathan, because i saw the video. it looked like you were the one that was getting attacked. >> yeah.

this is, again, no longer just about the students. you have outside agitators who have taken over these campus situations and, again, they say on the surface they want these universities to divest from israel or defense companies like boeing that are allegedly supplying all these supplies to israel right now. but, again, as a journalist, we are going in there to try to tell the story, trying to spotlight what's really happening and they don't like that. so, again, earlier this week they came after us. we were covering. this i had two security guards with me. we were interviewing people, that is until antifa spotted us. these guys who are dressed up in black armor, sticks. they started chasing us around campus. and we just had to take stand. we were pretty much outnumbered 20-3 basically. and we had to hold our own. and here's the key. here's the headline here. there were barely any police officers on the scene. and this is really a failure by school administration that has now allowed this situation to

unfold going on more than two weeks. >> tremendous failure, jonathan, stay safe out there. thank you for what you do. carley? >> carley: president biden touting his economy and down playing his negative polling in a new cnn sitdown. watch this. >> let me say it this way. when i started this administration, people were saying there was going to be a collapse in the economy. we had the strongest economy in the world. let me say it again, in the world. >> grace curley is the host of the grace curley show and she joins us now. grace, good morning to you. is that the message that the president should be echoing and saying to the american people? >> i don't think so. i mean, we have had high inflation since, what mid 2021. we are now in 2024. headed into a new election. and what really blows my mind, carley, is that nothing has really changed about this strategy. the strategy seems to be let joe biden tell himself things that help him sleep at night and make

him feel better and deflect blame. and that's it. and the rest of us are out here going okay, so there is really no plan. and do you know what the take away for me is, this is what he is going to do for four more years. people have to keep that in mind. if he is willing to spend four years blaming everybody else and not changing anything and you want to vote for him again, get ready for four more years of this. >> carley: president biden also said inflation was at 9% when he entered office. it was 1.4%, went up to 9%, jun. >> often is. "new york times" reporting why biden and harris are busy on wednesdays. when trump is not in court. the "times" writing, quote: by holding events and putting mr. biden and ms. harris in the public eye on wednesdays, the white house and the biden campaign choke off one of the few days when mr. trump could drive news media conch on his own. that leaves the focus on his trial or creates a split screen between the two presidential rivals. is that how you see it, grace?

that seems pretty accurate to me. >> yeah. and it definitely lends credence to this idea that there is a political strategy involved with this lawfare. it's meant to tie up donald trump. it's meant to kind of stifle his campaigning. but i will say that, you know, they list all these things he is doing on wednesdays. i think because they are so controlled and so choreographed, compared to what trump's doing, which you can like him or not doing, there is something more authentic to trump being the where's walled dough of manhattan and showing up at a fire department pizza or showing up at construction site vs. joe biden has a handful of people chanting four more years and reading from a teleprompter when you put those two things next to each other it doesn't bode well for joe even if on wednesdays he campaigns. it doesn't really matter. >> carley: there is also this very interesting poll we want to get to who will weeken america in the second term grace, how

big of a deal is this? >> it depends on who you ask. if you ask joe biden, we either have the wrong polls. we have to check the polls. you know, jack, don't look at this poll. but, i think this is a big deal. i think this tells you a lot. people do not have confidence in joe biden and they don't have confidence in kamala harris which is just as important. it's starting to show. you know, i always say i like the polls. i focus on the polls, when i don't like the polls i say eh they are a bunch of crap. these polls have been pretty consistent and trending in one direction. that's where i think the biden administration should be concerned. >> todd: it's a big issue if independents think joe biden is going to weaken the country for him to win an election where he needs those independents in swing states. grace curley, my friend. appreciate it. have a great day. >> carley: have a great day, everybody. "fox & friends" starts right now. >> steve: good morning, everybody. it is 6:00 a.m. here in new york city. also w
