jacqui: president biden facing fierce criticism and impeachment articles from a republican

congressman following his threat to withhold weapons from israel if they proceed with military operations in rafah. welcome to "fox news live," i'm jacqui heinrich. griff friday mere we go, hour packs, i'm -- hour two, i'm griff jenkins. lucas tomlinson is live outside the white house with more. >> reporter: griff, in the last hour you interviewed a republican congressman who represents a district joe biden won back in 2020. he says he does not support impeachment. >> i think what president biden is doing at this moment of war is unconscionable, and i think as cory mills pointed out, he is putting electoral politics ahead of the safety and security of one of our closest allies in the world. but we're less than six months away from an election, and i trust the judgment of the american people. >> reporter: many have pointed out that ronald reagan withheld f-16s and cluster bombs,

george h.w. bush too too, ike had his suez crisis, but some say what's different this time is a hamas slaughtering israelis, some of them just kids enjoying a music concert. over 100 remain hostage including some americans. congressman cory mills has drafted an impeachmentment resolution against biden saying, quote, president biden solicited a, quote, quid pro quo with the foreign government of us israel that withholding precision-guided weapons shipments in order to try to extract military policy changes. president biden sought to pressure the government of israel the take step by conditioning official united states government acts of significant value to israel. the top democrat on the house armed services committee criticized president biden but says these aren't precision-guided weapons that are being withheld. >> i have spoken with a number of different officials at the white house, and their claim is that they are only slowing down the delivery of 22,000- 2,000-pound dumb bombs, all

right? why isn't that message here? i don't think the president made it clear during his interview on cnn. >> reporter: some think as the nationwide protests on college campuses have affected the president's thinking, not the civilian death toll in gaza. griff? griff: lucas tomlinson live9 from the north lawn, thank you. jacqui: anti-israel protests are continuing across the country this weekend with a day of action planned in new york city if later this afternoon that's expected to draw a large police presence. c.b. cotton's live in brooklyn, new york, with the latest on this for us. hey, c.b.. >> reporter: yeah. as you can see, we've got great weather here in new york city. the sun is out, but it's not too hot, and this is typically a recipe for a pretty large protest turnout, right? we've seen other pro-palestinian demonstrations here at the barclays center since the start of the israel-hamas war, but this demonstration could mark the beginning of other ones to come on a more frequent basis especially now that student protesters are finishing exam,

heading home for the summer. where are they going to protest now? places like this, arenas, amphitheaters, public parks, things like that. within the past hour, we've watched nypd officers bring over more barricades, take a look here, more officers come over in anticipation of this protest set to begin at 32 p.m. local time. you can see right over here, take a look, i'm going to have my photojournalist pan the camera, some protesters arriving here on scene with those fliers. today's protest is organized by the group which publicized the rally on social media referring to israel as a settler colony and saying, quote, we demand an end to the occupation. if end quote. on monday pro-palestinian rallies were also held in the big apple with the goal of disrupting the met gala. that did not come to fruition, but we did watch a world war i monument get defaced.

the nypd says a teen agitator has been arrested, but we're going to be out here all day monitoring this protest test set to get i understand way in less than an hour. this group will not stay here, they will march through the city streets, and we will be monitoring, brings it to you -- bringing it to you live here on "fox news live." back to you. griff: for more on campus protests across the country, we're joined by george washington university law professor melinda roth and author arizona rah -- azra nomani. we just i saw in the report up in new york the day of anti-israel protest, day of action, we saw c.b. was pointing to one of the protesters holding anti-it reel ooh signs, and you -- israel, and you brought one that appears to be maybe even the exact same one. held that up. >> exactly. for griff -- so, griff, for 20

years i've been investigating this network that wants to destroy israel. a lot of people think it's groups or that are pro-palestinian, but i want to show the fine print. what does it say? griff: party for socialism and liberation. >> yeah. this is a self-described marxist, leninist group. i'm not speaking in hyperbole, i'm speaking their words. they are on line, they are popular across the world. this is a global network that has now connected with these people who have signs that we now have become familiar withing american muslims for pal stint the -- palestine, the uc-berkeley professor whose nickname is hatem, they are working directly with that party for socialism and liberation. you know, with these kind of chants from the river to the sea, palestine will be free. griff: well, and, you know, melinda, i was covering the

protesters there at gw, and many of the jewish studentses -- some of whom we interviewed right here on the show -- felt threatened by things like from the river to the sea and intifada revolution. finish what are your thoughts? >> well, first, thank you for having me. i'm so glad to see those signs because they show a story that these protests are anything but peaceful, and they're not calling for support of the palestinians for the most part, they're certainly not calling for the release of the hostages. the agenda is a deeper and much bigger one. it is filled with hate, it is filled with hate for israel, for jewish people but also hate against america. and i think, i think they are a danger and dangerous, and they've become violent in many cases. griff: you talk about danger, and as a parent of a daughter

about the go to college and another one who's graduate requested from college -- graduated from college, i fear where we're headed with this. azra, you know, you're seeing kind of a different reaction. i will give credit to the administrators here at a gw, they seem to not want to acquiesce to the demands of these students even though she met with them yesterday, some of the pro-palestine students out there. but then out in california as we pointed out, you literally have across the board as congressman mike lawler put it school administrators acquiescing to petulant are children. but yet the messaging and where it eludes is what concerns me. >> yeah, you're so right to think about as a father, because this is ideological. for 232 -- 22 years i've studied these professors from uc-berkeley to georgetown here in washington, d.c., and they

head up institutions, programs with foreign funding to influence our children to join this entity that i call the woke army. you know, the title of my book is not subtle, right in what is that? hammer and sickle -- griff: right. clearly. we've got a copy of the book up there on the screen, and we see an alliance finish. >> yeah, this is an unholy alliance, exactly. and it is an army. we have these different battle fronts from gw to uc-irvine. and in each one they have battle commanders, field marshals. and these are people from that marxist, lend anyonist network across the country, and that's why we're seeing the campus protests in spain, itly, south america because this target that they have right now is israel and america, but our entire global democracy as we have it right now. griff: well, and it's not clear

the students understand that. in fact, melinda, it's not even clear the students understand the narrative, we could start with a history lesson about the fact that there has never been an actual palestine state. but don't take it from me. former secretary of state hillary clinton talking about the students may be a little bit uneducated on their history. listen here. >> i have had many conversations, as you have had, with a lot of young people over the last many months now. and you're right, they don't know very much at all about the history of the middle east or, frankly, about history in many areas of the world including in our own country. griff: melinda, has a she got it right? >> i think not only does she have it right, i think it's even worse than what she says because, as asra was saying, there is an infiltration into academia now, and and we have professors using their platforms

to indock try nate if students -- indoctrinate students into a line of thinking where they're not thinking. we're not teaching them to critically think, we're teaching them the meaning -- we're not even teaching them the meaning, we're teaching them words like apartheid and colonization and genocide, but we're not really using the right deaf anythings of those words -- definitions of those words, and we're using them conveniently to get a message that we're trying -- and i'm not saying we, because i am not part of that. that is not how i run my classroom. but that's what's happening in universities across the world. not just here, but across the world. and i think, again, it is extremely dangerous. griff: and extremely anti-semitic in many cases. asra, i'll give you the last word. my question to you is, it's clear we're going to see this at least at the dnc in chicago. the march on the, the nc, it's already underway -- the dnc. but does it continue beyond that? does it continue beyond the election in.

>> yes, this will go beyond the election, and they are trying to capture a generation of young people. and so you're as a parent if exactly where everybody needs to be. we need to be close to our children. we need to understand what they're being indoctrinated with. have those critical conversations at home, because they're not going to happen always in the classroom. and we have to recognize that this is a war for the hearts and minds of the future generations. not only the destruction of israel, which they want to do, and the trunks of america -- destruction of america, but the destruction of our future generations, and we have to be the protectors and defend pers. griff: well put. and i hope families from coast to coast having conversations justin light this about what's happening. asra, melinda, thank you for this conversation. have a great weekend. >> thank you. ♪ ♪ >> we actually think that a rafah operation would weaken israel's position both in these

talks and writ large. we've talked about this before, that a major military operation in rafah would further weaken israel's standing in the world. jacqui: state department spokesperson matthew miller sating -- stating the administration's position on a potential large scale operation in rafah. israel's already moving in in that area on a smaller scale, ordering people in more areas of rafah to evacuate. last week the biden administration paused a shipment of weapons in response to israel's planned large scale ground operation in rafah. meanwhile, on the eve of israel's memorial day, the hostages' families' forum is dedicating the rally to the families of the 38 murdered individuals whose bodies are being held captive by hamas in gaza, asking the government to prioritize the release of hostages over operations in gaza. joining me now, two members

of -- family members of those israeli hostages, jonathan and his son, hamas hostage, and daniel, his grandfather has a his 84th birthday today in cap ativity. he's been in captivity since october 7th. thank you both for being here, so much. >> thank you. jacqui: i just want to begin with the fact that you have a great grandfather celebrating his 84th birthday in captivity, being held by hamas. that is really a stunning thing. >> it is completely devastating, and i never thought we would come to this day, that a great grandfather, the only great grandfather held hostage in the world, my grandfather, who fought all his life for peace and for justice will be for almost 220 days held hostage in gaza.

with no conditions. and i tell you, in that age so long is really almost feeling hopeless. but then to you just spoke about all the murdered ones and 10 of them are from kibbutz near if us. for us 36 still held hostage in gaza which is a huge number. one of them is one of my best friends from the kibbutz from the same group, the guy who taught us baseball on the grass of the kibbutz. i tell you, it's a very hard day for me. i didn't think it would be so difficult, but it's very difficult for me to function today. i think that my grandfather is celebrating -- there is no celebration of his birthday in gauze the saw today, may 11th. in gaza. jacqui: you know, when you hear the biden administration cautioning israel against a large scale ground operation, obviously there's been a lot of

concern raised about the plight of palestinians in gaza and the famine that they're facing. but at the same time, you have four hamas battalions there continuing to hold hostages and use human shields. so when you hear the administration publicly telling israel to dial back and your not hearing that quite as much as public calls for hamas to release the hostages, how is that digestinged among your families -- digested among your families? how do you respond to that, how do you feel about that when you're watching this public messaging? it seems to be dedicated more to israel than to hamas. >> and we know that the end of the war is due to the release of the to hostages. if tomorrow they would release all the hostages, that would be no rafah, no more war and, of course, i would prefer everyone to sit at the negotiation table

without fighting. but, you know, sometime in the middle east negotiations are under fire. we saw hamas shooting the rockets on -- devastating moment when few soldiers died and then few days after they came to say, yes, on the agreement. i hope from the other side now it's kind of a pressure that will very soon, and hopefully just after independence day it will bring an agreement. i think what is important, that all the parties will negotiate under the the table, on the table and will not go off of it until they get an agreement. those people are die canning every day. we just -- dying every day. we just heard another one today. so really there is nothing else to do except getting into the negotiation table and make a fair deal for everyone. the u.s. have to press for a fair if deal for everyone and come to the an agreement as fast as possible because for me and the humanitarian part, we are

losing everyone and everyone are humanitarian now. jacqui: jonathan, i want to ask you, you know, when you hear the biden administration saying that they would approve of a small scale operation that a does very specific things like target the hamas leaders and troy to prevent weapons from being smuggled in to gaza via its border with egypt and, you know, these sort of pie in the sky ideas about how this might be effective in eradicating the terrorist threats posed by hamas, you know this area well. is that going to be effective in achieving the outcome of bringing these hostages home? i mean, it's been months now. >> yes, it has. thank you for having us on. you're right, i've lived on the border with gaza my entire adult life. i cannot, i cannot say for sure

whether this act or that act is going to move things forward or not. i think we have to accept certain facts. fact number one is that friends can disagree, and in this case there seems to be a disagreement around how, how to go into rafah between the biden administration and israel. that being said and i'm a u.s. citizen and have been really in steady contact with the biden administration and with congress, the -- what president biden says is true. the administration's support for israel, to its own political detriment, has been ironclad. 9 and the biden administration has been clear wees israel for weeks if not months that full scale inevasion into rafah -- can invasion into rafah full of civilians is unacceptable. when our own government, israel, wants to listen to that is another question. as far as the hostages are concerned, i think any

level-headed person understands as well as military people, i was in the army most of my life in israel. the only way the hostages are coming out alive, those who might still be alive including my son and daniel's grandfather, the only way they're coming out alive is through some sort of negotiated agreement. military action on it own will only get them killed. because of the nature of hamas. that looks to martyr. it doesn't look to save lives, it looks to martyr lives, israeli lives and particularly palestinian lives. so all parties involved of good faith, including the israeli government, have to be totally committed to this idea of negotiations in order to the get people home. those who are alive and bring back those people -- and, again, there are 10 of them that are, you know, daniel grew request up around them, i raised some of them that were murdered and

their bodies are being held, and we want them to come home for proper burial. so as far as the biden administration is concerned and the hostages, i would say that it's much more subtle than is currently certainly being presented by the israeli government. you know, their resistance. they have not told israel not to go into rafah. they've told israel that there should by no means be a repeat of large scale civilian casualties, and the vast majority of the israeli population agrees with that. jacqui: it is a heart-wrenching situation. my heart goes out to you, jonathan, and your son and, daniel, you and your grandfather and all the families affected by this horrible thing that is happening. thank you for sharing your stories with us. >> thank you. griff: powerful interviews there. meanwhile, an extreme solar storm is lighting up the sky with auroras seen as far as

americans living as far south as alabama getting to take in the beautiful sight. it's a severe geomagnetic storm making the lights more visible, but this rare solar event has also sparked some concerns. madison scarpino is live with more details. madison, what are the concerns? >> reporter: well, griff, space weather experts say they haven't seen this strong of a solar storm since 2003. and according to noaa a, it has caused some issues at big power grids across the country. but it likely won't impact power in neighborhoods. noa a a's space weather prediction center classified yesterday's solar storm at the highest level, a g5. the agency says this is extremely rare. here's a breakdown of how it all works. >> those energized particles, they react with the molecules and atoms and particles in our own atmosphere. and as things settle down and this constantly goes on back and

forth, light is emitted. and that light is what we see as the aurora. >> reporter: and we're seeing some remark if,, sid owe of the aurora. -- remarkable video. it's a bucket list thing for a lot of people, and last night millions of american people got to see the pink, green and purple skies lit up right in their backyards. as of this morning, conditions are back to a level 4 storm, but the sun's surface is still pretty active according to fox weather. with that said, noaa says there's still a risk it could impact gps and communication here on earth. and, griff, there's currently seven astronauts aboard the international space station, but nasa say that the solar storms didn't cause any major issues for them. back to you with. griff: that's good news. madison scarpino watching our northern lights for us, thank you. jacqui: well, trump's supporters are gathering at the consumer city shore as the former e president's set to hold a large rally this afternoon. rally this afternoon. we'll take you there live next.

what she is counting on between now and tuesday. >> so this weekend, no kidding, is one of the most important. we're going to win this election on election day. we have had a number of people who have made their mind up, but guess what? there are some who are still undecided. a large margin of people are undecided, we think probably about 20% are still undecided. >> reporter: her chief rival, congressman david trone, is investing more in campaign ads to get his message out. get this, he's spent more than $60 million of his own money on this primary alone. as for republicans, larry hogan, the former republican governor, he is dominating in the gop primary. he's not even holding campaign events this weekend, and political experts tell fox 40 to began has a key advantage going into this race, statewide name recognition. the democrats will have to spend a lot more money to counter it. >> once hogan entered, the became a much more expensive race than it otherwise would have been. and i think at the margins, that can matter.

but i think that given what's at a stake, the money is going to be there. >> reporter: and while maryland's senate bid is expected to be quite competitive, the presidential race is not. president biden won this race four years ago by more than 30 points, and hogan and former president trump are certainly not allies, but hay appear to be playing nice if because a lot of people believe what happens in maryland could affect the balance of power in washington. griff? griff: mark meredith live in annapolis, thank you. jacqui: former president trump hopes to flip new jersey if red as he holds a rally expected to draw about 40,000 people today. brian with yen nas is live from wildwood, new jersey, with the latest on this -- bryan llenas. >> reporter: hey. part of a republican stronghold here in deep blue new jersey, and there are thousands of people here for the rally on the beach. you can see people streaming in here. we spoke to some folks who have

been here since wednesday afternoon, thursday afternoon to try to get a seat at thally, and people just continue to stream in. this rally starts at 5 p.m. today. this is close the battleground state pennsylvania which is obviously very pivotal coming up. and this is the first time that he is speaking at a big rally since stormy daniels testified this week and ahead of the star withins for the prosecution, his ex-personal if attorney michael cohen's testimony coming up on monday. now, cohen has been live streaming op on tiktok for hours with commentary over the last month if taunting former president trump despite repeated warnings from prosecutors to stop. judge juan merchan yesterday told prosecutors to let cohen know that he's being ordered to stop from the bench, though her. chan lamented the fact that the court can cannot subject witnesses like cohen to a gag order. trump, on the other hand, has been fined $10,000 for violating the gag order including at least 4 attacks against cohen, and he

now faces jail time if he violates it again. trump posted on truth social, quote, judge juan merchan refused to put a gag order on people truly out of control can, only on the presidential candidate, me. mistrial. cohen is at the center of the prosecution's case. trump is accused of falsifying business records to hide reimbursements made to cohen 40 paid $130,000 to porn star stormy daniels in an effort to unlawfully ine nuance the 20216 election. trump yesterday denied this, and he denied that can cohen was his fixer. >> i didn't do the bookkeeping, i didn't even know about it, but a very good book keeper marked a legal expense down as a legal expeps. they didn't call it -- expense. they didn't call it construction, they didn't call it building something or concrete or electrical costs. they called very simply a legal expense to a lawyer, he's a lawyer.

not a fixer. >> reporter: cohen pleaded guilty in 2018 in part for violating federal campaign laws with that a statement to stormy daniels. he also pled guilty to lying to congress, lying to banks and just this past week a federal judge said he lied under oath in the civil case against trump in the fall in new york. so a lot of fireworks expected on monday. we'll see what the former president has to say tonight in front of a lively, large crowd here in new jersey. jacqui: quite a crowd behind you and looks like a long line there. bryan llenas, thanks so much. griff. griff: let's bring in our political a panel with us today, gop strategist joe peña and llc partner jonathan kott. thank you, lose the music. it's political panel time. here we go, guys. let me jump right in, jonathan, and get your reaction because we see early this morning we all woke up to read our axios, and we learned that nikki haley all

of a sudden is back in play. . and if then a few hours later former president trump takes to social media and says nikki haley is not under consideration for the vp if slot, but e wish her well. what do you make of it? >> i think it was a bad move for him. i think he should have played this out a little longer, let the speculation grew. it may have helped him withing some of her supporters e who he's losing. he just lost 150,000 of them in indiana, a similar number in pennsylvania and florida. these are key states where he can't afford to lose 150,000 votes to one of his competitors. i will give him credit, he was a lot nicer on truth social than he normally had been on the campaign. there was no bird brain reference, so he is learning, and maybe he is making some overtures to it, but that's a real problem for him when you have that many people going out to vote against you for a candidate who's not in the race anymore and hasn't been for months. tbref griff you've got a point there, jonathan. joe, what do you make of that?

>> well, look, certainly there are people around president trump who recognize that more importantly he needs to consol tate the party even more, but also to this notion of weakness with suburban women. and i think if you're looking at what is the difference between president trump winning by 778,000 votes a-- 78,000 votes across 3 states and losing by 48-50,000 votes 4 years later, it is that exodus of suburban women. so i think there are people trying to nudge president trump towards a pick that helps him shore up that base and makes sure that he can actually have a cleaner pathway to beating president biden -- griff: joe, if you were advising directly trump's campaign, would you be one of those people encouraging him to consider haley? >> look, i think nikki haley, there is the good and the bad. certainly, she could be a good pick. i think there are other picks that could have the same effect if on the ballot. you've got people like elise stefanik, certainly plenty of

republican women who could help president trump in that regard. so, look, i think the president's going to pick the person he believes will stand toe e to toe with him but also somebody he believes can carry the america first movement forward, moving past, beyond what should be and hopefully will be his second term. griff: you mentioned the good and bad, joe. i want to turn to a different story, and that is that of the economy with you, jonathan. because the president, the white house says bidenomics is great, the economy's great. the american people keep themin, it's not, it sucks, and prices aren't coming down. real wages aren't there. excuse me. let me show our viewers the inflation scale because president biden said he inherited a 9% inflation rate, but it was actually 1.4%. it got all the way up to 9. now it's down to a little over 3, so it has gotten better from the height, but it's not true to say that it was a 9% inheritance when it was 1.4%.

>> i think what he's talking about is inflation is a lagging indicator. we had a injected so much money into the economy because of the global pandemic that was covid, we also found out we had a supply chain crisis. so all of these things were happening as he was taking office. his policies that he's implementing take a little time to have the impact that he wants them to have. i would also remind people in 2008 him and president obama if came in when we were having a global recession. it took them a number of years to grow us out of that, but in 2012, or voters say -- said we're on the right path, and the efforts are helping. that's happening again for jeff biden. joe biden's sort of like the gop garageman or -- laugh he comes in and cleans up the mess -- griff: spoke. en like a political pundit. joe, you buying that ship? >> i love how my colleagues -- [laughter] god bless them, everything that happened in the first four years

under president trump was a result of barack obama, everything that that happened in the first four years under joe biden had nothing to do with donald trump. they want to have their cake and eat it too. and god bless them because they have nothing to run on. all they have to run on right now is talking about abortion 24 hours a day,. days a week -- 7 days a week, talking about january 6th 24 hours, 7 days a week and trying to use salacious accusations of a porn star to smear every single republican in the country who believes joe biden is probably a bad choice to run a world in disarray when you look at everything from gaza to the south china sea, to the calamity on our own southern border. griff: we didn't even get to the courtroom on this one. we've run out of time. joe, jonathan, thank you for being here. you guys have a great weekend. jacqui: well, the prosecution if former president trump's new york hush money case slated to call their key witness, michael cohen, to the stand on monday. what prosecutors said in court on friday, that they could rest
