4:05 am
the white house is aware there could be protests against the president's handling of the war in gaza. students on campus are divided with some saying they're honored to have the president speak, others saying his appearance appearance in a distraction from their own celebrations. the president has beener preparing all week to make sure his message meets the moment, but he did appear to briefly forget the name of the hbcu on friday. >> i'm going sunday to make a speech at that other place -- that men's called more -- forhouse! [laughter] >> reporter: a fox news poll shows the president received 72% among black voters up from 66% in february, but it's still below his 79% before the 2020 election. democrats are hoping these voters will, quote, come home in november, but no one knows to what extent that will happen. will, pete and rachel. will: thank you. pete: again, sort of the theme of the morning has been democrats forced the play dependence.
4:06 am
donald trump was in minnesota last night, a state you don't think as synonymous with democratic -- republican pickup. even though the policies have completely are underserved those underserved or black communities, it's been a political marriage of convenience for quite some time. joe biden has leveraged that for quite some time. he can say whatever he wants, put you all back in canes, whatever whatever -- in chains -- will: you're not black -- pete:you don't vote for me. didn't seem to matter. with but this community has lived with, just like the rest of us, have lived with the policies of joe biden, and their lives are getting worse. rachel: you know, the black vote for the democrats is sort of an easy one for them to take for granted. and, let's be honest, he's still in the 70s. pete: sure. rachel: but again, the republican candidate, donald trump, only has to eat into those numbers a little bit and almost it's over. will: by the way, that's not a little bit.
4:07 am
i know you're still saying 70%, but that's down from 90. what i'm saying is that isn't a little drop, 20% is a big drop. rachel: getting 770% is no small thing -- 70%, but the republicans don't need to take -- they don't have to match those numbers the make a difference. fox digital went and talked to some black voters to see why are they so unhappy with joe biden. here's what they had to say. >> president biden, i really feel like he's making everything harder for everybody. he's got everybody jumping through hoops. >> he wants to make it seem as if he's for the blacks, and he's not really because he hasn't helped anybody. >> i liked him and what he stood for up anything this whole thing with palestine. that kind of messed it up for me in a lot of ways. >> i'm probably the only black person to admit it, but i want trump back, i'm sorry. [laughter] last time i checked, who signed off on all those stimulus packages? he did, ooh even though we didn't have to -- the money to deal with it.
4:08 am
>> i like trump. >> trump, what he is doing, trump has helped out a lot of people in the community, helped out a lot of black businesses. i'm voting for trump. >> like, it was a lot are, like, going on in the news and the media. so actually i'm okay with trump coming back. rachel: these black voters are saying my life was better with than -- pete: better than $17 grapes. rachel: exactly. the from joe biden and his team to sort of this panic about, oh, my gosh, this is a group we never even had to think about, they just automatically voted for us, and i know what black people need, more pot if legislation. this is one of the most demeaning efforts. it's, like, what do black people want? they want more pot legislation, more pot, more welfare -- pete: it's how they think. it's just like hispanic voters. well, they must want more amnesty -- rachel: right. and their like, no, stop. we live on this other border,
4:09 am
this is terrible for us. pete: it's how they think. will: speak of terrible -- [laughter] this is something else. it's actually like a 3 or 4-minute clip. have you seen the whole thing? pete: i have. first of all, this hearing was actually a really important hearing because the biden administration won't release the transcripts of what joe said to the special counsel as his classified documents case. remember, joe said he said all these things, and the special counsel -- will: it's also the interview robert hur where he's like, oh, my god, he can't remember when beau bind died, he's losing his mind. pete: so release the tapes, right in they won't. the justice department won't -- are. rachel: i thought she was asking also about who had ties to the judges -- pete: that was what started this. that wasn't what the hearing was necessarily about. will: this is marjorie taylor greene, aoc -- pete: another representative. will: yeah, several others. rachel: congresswoman correct. will: this is your house oversight committee hearing. [laughter] >> i'd hike to know if any of
4:10 am
the democrats on this committee are employing judge merchan's daughter. >> what does that have to do with merrick garland? do you know what we're here for? >> i think your fake eyelashes are messing up -- [inaudible conversations] >> that is absolutely unacceptable. how dare you -- [inaudible] attack the physical appearance of another person. >> are your feelings hurt? >> oh, girl, baby girl. >> if oh, really? >> don't even play. >> baby girl? i don't think so. finish. will: you know -- rachel: baby girl,ing don't -- this is her trying to sound is street, right? this is -- will: you went too far, now i'm getting real. rachel: we don't play. again, this is part of her alexandra from the block cosplay. she's from westchester, she's a sub you are, ban girl, and she's just playing this thing -- she's wearing a $2,000 watch -- with. will: can i just say, it gets even worse. pete: it keeps going. it's a shortened clip. >> and at some point correct,
4:11 am
who's the recipient of the original insult, she decides she's going. to, right? james comer's trying to run this thing -- pete: he's trying to gavel the thing in. will: and correct's insult to marjorie taylor greene is, it's actually pretty entry with candidate, it was like a lot of different things in -- and earn's, like, you've got to strike it from the record, and comer's like, i don't know what was said! [laugher] rachel: look, marjorie taylor greene did kind of start this, but i'll tell you, i don't like any -- i do believe in some form of decorum, but let's be honest. these are democrats who accused, fetterman said you're the, you know, this is like jerry springer, and she said, well, i'm not -- i'm going to defend this other congresswoman against bullies. she's the ultimate bully. aoc is the ultimate bully, and i kind of like marjorie taylor is
4:12 am
the only fighter -- will: john fetterman put this out, in the past i've described the u.s. house as the jerry springer show, today i'm apologizing to the jerry springer show -- [laughter] pete: of course, predictably, from the socialists kind of from the bronc with, as you point out, she wrote i understand you likely would not have stood up for your colleague and seem to be confused about racism and misogyny being a both sides issue, but i stand up to bullies instead of becoming one, rachel. rachel: yeah. you know, it's hard for me to quibble with marjorie taylor greene because earlier in another exchange they had, she called aoc a little communist. and, i mean, you know, i kind of like that. [laughter] tell me where she's wrong. pete: apparently though a lot of the members of that committee had been in the courtroom with donald trump that day, so that hearing was supposed to happen at noon, and it didn't happen until, like, 8 or later. and as a result, everyone was a little fired up. and so everyone came in a little hopped up ready to go.
4:13 am
rachel: yeah. it's just very rich to see people who are trying to, you know, imprison their political opponents talk about the bullies, because marjorie taylor green can said her eyelashes were too long. it's just, whatever. all right. well, let's move to this, a little less controversy. it's the fox weather alert right now. more than 570,000 people across texas and louisiana are wake withing up without power. pete: it follows severe weather that killed at least seven people many houston this week. will: fox weather correspondent katie byrne is on the ground in houston with the latest. katie. >> reporter: good morning, guys. yeah, we know that cleanup crews worked through the night to get a handle on the situation here, but we're right around those high-rise office buildings and hotels with the windows totally blown out. and on the ground you can still see signs of the damage. this car totally destroyed. you can see the airbags went off. you might be able to hear me crunching over some of the glass on the ground. this insulation that you're seeing and these blinds actually
4:14 am
flew out of an office. this all happened when those 100 mile-per-hour, hurricane-force winds tore through the city, shattered office windows. and yesterday as the cleanup started, we had on and off rain as crews were rushing to board up a lot of these windows or clean up the glass and debris from the sidewalks and streets. we know in the next couple days, we're going to be drying out. that's a good thing for people. but at the same time, we're going to be heating up, and can that's not great because we have thousands of people still without power, and some of them are worried about how they're going to get through the next week as we hit the 90s. >> i'm on a breathing machine. people have got medical issues. we need help. we need water and food. >> reporter: yeah. cooling centers are opening up now to help people find some relief in the texas heat, but officials are warning them they could be going without power for at least a week with massive transmission lines down. it's a lot of work for these utility crews that are on the ground trying to get that power
4:15 am
back. guys? pete: thanks so much. will: thank you so much. pete: all right. we turn now to a few additional headlines starting with this, philadelphia police police arresting several anti-israel protesters overnight after they tried to occupy a building at the university of pennsylvania. the demonstrators, who want u-penn to cut all of its ties with israel, claim the ivy league school is not negotiating in good faith. the attempts occupation comes one week after police dismantled an encampment that had taken over part of u-penn's campus two weeks. i'm reading this while will shovels mountains of brisket in his face. [laughter] and fried okra. a new mexico judge says she will rule on dismissing alec baldwin's indictment on the deadly shooting of rust cinematographer hal that hutch especially later this week. his lawyers claimed prosecutors improperly presented evidence to the grand jury and failed to
4:16 am
make defense witnesses available. baldwin has pleaded not guilty, and his trial is set to start in july. if the judge throws out the indictment, the prosecution could file the case again. and the number one golfer in the world, scottie scheffler, is currently tied for fourth place in the pga championship which normally would be a headline in and of itself. but this comes after his shocking arrest yesterday. during a press conference, scheffler said he just wanted to may golf. >> it was just a huge misunderstanding this morning that'll get resolved, i think, fairly quickly. my main focus after, you know, getting arrested -- [laughter] was wondering if i could be able to come back out here and play and fortunately i was able to do that. pete: his attorney says, quote, i think the officer that was directing traffic was maybe not part of the event traffic detail, and that is where the miscommunication arose. we'll just deal with it as it progresses, and those are your headlines. will: so what happened was there
4:17 am
was an accident -- rachel: someone died. will: someone died. and it lasted a while meaning, you know, the police set up and he's trying to get into the golf course, and they're directing traffic. he says, i think he said or the reporters said that the cop was wearing a rain slicker, green, and he thought he was a security guard. so he did kind of not listen. you go this way, no, i have the go that way, i'm about to play. next thing you know, the officer grabs ahold of the car, he's booked in jail. there's a mug shot. he's a great guy. of all the guys that that this could happen so -- to, you're, like, scotty? pete: he put out a pro-police statement. will: he did. i just kind of tongue in cheek said he's going to -- the name of the course is valhalla -- [laughter] he's about to ride into valhalla and destroy this course. he shot a 66 after all that. rachel: he said he was stretching in the jail cell. will: stretching in jail. [laughter]
4:18 am
will: all right, brand new immigration numbers vealing how bad the border crisis has gotten. pete: plus, video of sean diddy combs appearing to brutally attack his ex-girlfriend in a hotel hallway. of attorney and retired nypd inspector paul mauro on what it means for for his case, coming up. but you can repair it with pronamel repair. it penetrates deep into the tooth to actively repair acid weakened enamel. i recommend pronamel repair. with new pronamel repair mouthwash you can enhance that repair beyond brushing. they work great together.

4:22 am
will: shocking surveillance video surfacing of sean sean diddy combs attacking his ex-girlfriend, cassie ventura. we have to warn you, the footage is you are the disturbing. the id have e a-- video appears to show combs in a towel grabbing and throwing ventura to the ground back in 2016. here to react is attorney and retired nypd inspector paul mauro. paul, thanks for being with us this morning. this case was with, i think, the subject of a settlement sometiming back between ventura and comb. when you -- combs. when you see this video, what's your? >> well, i mean, my first reaction, you know, look, you see these things through your own lens are. first thing i thought is why. weren't the police called but, apparently, they were not. apparently, nobody in the hotel saw or heard this, it wasn't picked up by anybody monitoring
4:23 am
the surveillance. and, you know, i don't know what sean combs a may or may not have done since then, but if this were to have occurred in new york and the police do coming this is a must-arrest situation. that's how these domestic situations are configured in new york, because the law, showing rare sophistication, understands that many instances like this because of the power structure in the relationship, you really can't take anybody's word for it. if you get there, she's bruised -- and it's generally the female -- she's bruised up, but she doesn't want to press charges, she actually doesn't have that ability. if. will: right. >> he goes for an arrest. but unfortunately, the police were never called here and so this incident reminded buried. will: that's something that often confuses, paul, and it may vary. you just spoke to new york. i don't know in california what the situation is, but most situations the police file charges independent of the desires of the victim is. if they see something like this.
4:24 am
so just quickly, paul, your understanding is but law enforcement never even made their way into this case? >> that's correct. the police were never called, and and it's probably not a live video in the sense that somebody is sitting there monitoring it. so it's entirely believable that, you know, the hotel didn't know about it at the time. and then with her refusal to press charges, apparently at some point it surfaced enough that somebody got it and sold is it -- sold it to sean combs, it was buried. but obviously somebody kept a copy, cnn got ahold of it, but the statute of limitations would have run by now on any potential crime. will: i mentioned this was the subject of a settlement. it was a lawsuit fest by cassie ventura in november 2023. the video seems to kind of corroborate the allegations in that a lawsuit which were as follows, he followed her into the hallway -- this is what was in the lawsuit -- while yelling at her. he grabbed at her and then took glass vases in the hallway and threw them at her causing glass to crash around them as she ran
4:25 am
to the elevator to escape. cassie ventura's attorney now responding to this video, paul. the video has further confirmed the disturbing predatory behavior of mr. combs. words cannot express the courage and fortitude ms. ventura has shown in coming forward to bring this to light. i want to be clear something you said, paul, statute of limitations has run. we're seeing this now. but what does it mean for sean combs beyond anything, beyond his public reputation? >> yeah. so there's a subtlety here and that's the following: as we know, homeland security about three months ago raided, about two months ago now raided his locations because they're clearly building a case. and, you know, for them to have taken that step means that they have decided to discard any element of secrecy. when you do something like that, that means your case is to the point where you can sort of blow the lid off of it, and you're not concerned about the fact that your suspect is now going to know and take defensive
4:26 am
measures. almost certainly they were acting on stuff that they were being told by witnesses, maybe other victims, and they were looking for corroborative evidence of sean combs' behavior. that stuff is a reservoir of evidence that can come in here. the agents are going to be looking at these civil cases and grabbing all of that stuff. and these cases tend to have a certain momentum. once the evidence starts to build, people lose their fear, and they start coming forward with further information. so i think we're going to be hearing a lot more about this homeland case and these lawsuits that not only he settled, but are pending are a reservoir of evidence that i'm sure they're going to dip into. will: fox news has reached out to representatives for sean combs but haven't gotten a response yet. paul, thank you so much for being with us. >> always, will. will: all right. more gotaway withs under the biden administration than the entire previous decade, but they don't seem too worried about a it. >> it's several million people. >> more people have been coming in under president biden than under president trump, is that
4:27 am
true or not? >> that is, that is true. will: we're asking the national or border patrol council vp about it next. count on propane to make everything great. but did you know propane also powers school buses that produce lower emissions that lead to higher test scores? or that propane can cut your energy costs at home? it powers big jobs and small ones too. from hospitals to hospitality, people rely on propane-an energy source that's affordable, plentiful, and environmentally friendly for everyone. get the facts at propane.com/now. ♪ i wanna hold you forever ♪ hey little bear bear. ♪ ♪ ♪ i'm gonna love you forever ♪ ♪ ♪ c'mon, bear. ♪ ♪ ♪ you don't...you don't have to worry... ♪

4:32 am
art del cueto joins us now from arizona. art, so great to have you here today. so, you know, it's bad enough that these gotaway numbers are so high and we're worried about all these criminals that are coming over the border that don't want to be, you know, registered with the border patrol if, don't want to go into a detention center, they just don't want to be found. but we also talked about these chinese nationals. these are military-aged men. are you concerned that the chinese could possibly be standing up an army inside of our borders? what do we know about these gotaways? >> well, see, there's several things you've got to look at, and i've been the one that's been screaming about -- rachel: i know you have. >> -- for a long time now, and this is what the problem is. it's easy to come across, ask for asylum is and get released. the world knows that. so what intentions would these other individuals or what backgrounds would they have, criminal background withs, that doesn't allow them to just come across, ask for asylum and get released? it is bad enough that there's
4:33 am
people that can cross into the united states, can honestly have a serious criminal background in their country, we just don't know about it, and then we release them. now you add these extra the factors of people that are coming across and, look, as you said at the beginning, these are known gotaways because the actual number is not known. it could be very many more because now there's not enough agents out there in the field that can see who's coming across, who's evading. so the numbers are astronomical. this needs to stop and, honestly, i'm not just concerned with what's happening right now, i'm concerned with what's going to happen for a long time to come because with we don't know how many people are here, what their intentions are, what they're planning, nothing at all. there's nothing that we know about these people. rachel: yeah, you're absolutely right. i want to show you these clips because here's alejandro mayorkas being asked very directly about these numbers. listen. >> is since the beginning of the administration, is it millions of people? >> it's several million people. >> more people have been coming
4:34 am
in under president biden than under president trump, is that true or not? >> that is, that is true. now, in 2019 there was almost a 100% increase, the situation in the hemisphere was propelling people to leave their country. [laughter] rachel: i think the factors are the biden administration's opened the border. but what's interesting, art, is these numbers, they're not being forthcoming with giving these numbers and raising the alarm on these numbers. they're trying to hide these numbers. a lot of these numbers we have because citizen groups have filed foias, freedom of information acts. >> look, for a long time they said there was not a problem at the border, and and then when they started not being able to explain the groups that were knocking down and cutting down fences, okay, we have a problem now. well, we're seeing this with the gotaways. yeah, there's almost a couple million, but it's nothing really. look, it's a problem, and it's been a problem that this administration started. they don't know how to fix it,
4:35 am
and now we're in the position that we're at right now, and it continues to happen each and every day. we're getting, you know, flooded in different can areas. people turning themselves in, military-aimed men from around the world -- military-aged men from around the world knowing they can ask for asylum and get released and then again, these gotaways. they don't have an answer, hay don't have a plan, and we're in a lot of serious trouble right now. rachel: yeah. alejandro mayorkas' title is homeland security. this is a man who clearly does not care about securing our homeland and, in fact, is trying to hide just how bad things have gotten for our security in america. art, we really appreciate you coming on and for always being just a really solid voice in this discussion, always raising the alarm, always telling the truth even when it wasn't popular. thank you so much, art. really appreciate it. >> thank you, rachel. rachel: you got it. new york versus trump, the trial set to resume on monday

the faces of the jurors. it was shown that he lied to the jurors in the courtroom about a critical conversation he swore he had with donald trump, payments to stormy daniels. the phone data and the text, for example, that you just showed prove it never happened. it was a classic gotcha moment. the call was logged at slightly over a minute long. texts show he wasn't talking to donald trump, he was talking to shiller, his aide, and telling him to sic the secret service on a little kid who, you know, is 14 years old. it was devastating to bragg's case. it invites the standard jury instruction that says if you find that a witness has lied to you about one thing, you may disregard all of that witness' testimony. the judge, i think, now has to give the instruction, ask and without cohen there is no case against donald trump. nobody else ties him to any of the bogus crimes alleged in the indictment. pete: so, gregg, i guess that
4:42 am
begs the strategic question of whether or not defend brings their own witnesses. i'll pull up one more exchange that happened this week which was trump's attorney, blanche, again with cohen, and he asked cohen, do you remember telling him that you had nothing to do with president trump, and cohen -- and could not cooperate? cohen said, noser -- no, sir. he was talking about bob costello, a confidant of donald trump, who claims that cohen told him he knew nothing about it. so do you think trump's defense should bring an additional witness to tie this up, or do you believe it -- leave it where this is? >> i'd leave it. cross tell costello was, for a time, cohen's attorney. the attorney-client privilege has been waived by cohen which is stupid, but that's cohen. and, you know, cross tell hoe has the ability -- costello has the ability to annihilate the credibility of his former client. but, look, i learned a long time ago in my first case when you're winning, sit down, shut up,
4:43 am
don't call any more witnesses because you never if know on cross-examination where with that witness might get annihilated on cross-examination. so i, frankly, wouldn't do it. pete: interesting. real quick, that's what you think. what do you think the trump team will do? do you think -- do you have any indication that this will extend into a longer defense? >> look, i have no indication, but it's a very skilled defense team. i think they would agree with me. don't do more than you have to, because you might regret it. is so i doubt they'll call costello, but who noses. i have no inside information. pete: quit while you're ahead. gregg jarrett, appreciate it. thank you. >> my pleasure. ft. president all right, let's turn now to chief meteorologist rick reichmuth for our fox weather forecast. rick, does your clicker or work now in. rick: do you know what? if wasn't me. t not working in the entire building. our weather channel's clickers
