facing time in prison. >> i'm okay with it. i saw one of my lawyers on tv saying, you don't want to do that to the president. i said, you don't beg for anything. >> ainsley: trump campaign is crushing fundraising records. eric trump says his campaign has raised a ton since the conviction. >> well, over $70, this is $21 donation, small dollar donation, add large dollar donation, over 200 million. >> lawrence: the former president is now on tiktok. >> the president is tiktok. >> my honor. [cheering] >> steve: all right. to put tiktok numbers in comparison with president

biden's tiktok account, trump leads by three million followers and joe biden had a big head start, but only a couple hundred thousand ultimately. for 90 minutes, saturday afternoon, the former president sat down with the weekend guys. >> ainsley: such a great interview. first interview he gave -- >> lawrence: since the verdict. quickly, looks like getting word hunter biden is arriving to the courtroom now. jury selection will start today. i think the prosecution, no word if there is a deal, i think they are hoping for a deal before they go to court. once jury selection starts -- >> brian: i saw he has to cut a

deal. he has such a -- his prospects are very bleak. >> steve: as you look at this live image, street screen left, his motorcade arrived. >> ainsley: jury selection today and they have to prove he made false statements, that he had a gun while under controlled s substances. he faces a felony conviction and -- >> lawrence: prosecution said no defense when federal judge asked if there was precedence. after judge threw it out, there was question from aeb /* lowell. you cannot throw this out.

the judge said the deal was not signed and will go forward. >> brian: embarrassing for the biden family, the love child, beau's widow and his former wife who is owed almoney. >> lawrence: crack pictures, granddaughter. >> steve: what will happen 8:30 eastern time, they will start jury selection. 250 potential jurors are on tap to be interviewed. once they get 12 and a couple alternates. >> lawrence: we are being told it was not hunter biden, it was ashley biden. >> ainsley: their daughter. >> steve: what hunter biden is

charged with three felonies, two counts of making false statement and third count trying to guilty a gun while addicted to drugs. what we have heard from abbe lowell, every corner, what they will introduce is contrary evidence to portray essentially reasonable doubt. land >> lawrence: larger point, we hear guns, guns with them and more laws on the book. the fact current president son is lying. you want more measures but you don't want your son held accountable and you have your secret service go there and pick up the gun. they are denying that now. >> brian: who picked up the gun?

>> ainsley: 11 days later halley biden, they are saying threw in the trash can behind the grocery store and his book was released and he wrote, i was smoking crack every 15 minutes. they say he was on crack when he bought the gun. his attorney is saying someone might have tampered with that form and all he has to do with put reasonable doubt in the juror's mind. >> lawrence: and they cannot fill out the form for you. >> steve: sounds like the gun store employee may have changed it -- >> ainsley: why would he do that? >> steve: because the law changed much rich edson is live outside the courtroom. hunter is in the courthouse and

now time to ask who wants to be on the jury, right? >> that's right, they will wittel this down. 250 jurors to pick from. this is in the same city as hunter biden campaign reelection headquarters is. they rode bikes together near rohoboth beach, they have been public and open about that. the president is expected to speak to hunter daily, two to three times more than usual according to "new york times." prosecutors maintain hunter biden claimed he was not a drug user in 2018. his attorneys will challenge that. jury selection is about to begin, 250 possibilities.

did they register politically? is there a connection with his father being president of the united states. they may call a dozen witnesses, his ex-wife and haley biden, who was involved with hunter after beau died. hunter almost didn't make it to this trial. his attorneys had reached a plea agreement that was called too l lenient, it fell apart when the judge started asking about specifics of the agreement. this will deal with gun charges. tax charge is another criminal trial and is expected to begin in september in los angeles.

>> steve: any chance joe biden will show up? >> i'm not sure, we have not heard about that. it is not on the president's schedule. they will be in communication and the president -- do we have hunter showing up right now? there are s.u.v.s that just pulled up. >> brian: not sure who is there yet. >> we saw ashley biden in the previous one, this is the entrance hunter biden has come to. it is him. okay. >> ainsley: there he is. >> lawrence: escorted by abigail edan abasbe lowell. >> ainsley: there is his wife.

>> brian: didn't show up for his televised hearing. >> steve: do we think they could seat 12 jurors today? >> it is a possibility. this process will likely take a couple days, it is not out of the realm of possibilities. so many issues like in the trial with president trump, political issues and those being tried who are connected and known in the population. you are talking about bidens and delaware, a lot of questions fo get through. >> ainsley: we were about to talk about the interview our weekend crew had on saturday with donald trump at b bedminister, we got breaking news of his half sister appearing and saw hunter biden going in. back to the trump interview, here is eight minutes compiled into this what we call a package

here. >> steve: wide ranging. >> ainsley: watch this. >> this is your first interview since the verdict, 48 hours. where is your head at? >> look, i'm fighting for the constitution and fighting for the same thing you three do, freedom, fight for your country. these people are sick. they are deranged. i talk about the enemy on the outside and enemy from within. russia, china, you have a smart president, you handle him. we have advantages. the enemy from within doing damage to this country. they want open borders, high interest rates, to quadruple your taxes. all my life, i watch politics and politicians want to lower taxes, not quadruple them. it was a tough venue. tried to gets out of the venue and judge, wouldn't think about

it. probably had the worst area in the country for me in terms of vote. if i sat down and explained to that section of the world, we could probably make progress. they bring them to these actions, d.c., there, places where republicans, not just me, republicans get no votes. good news is that i think we've set a record for fundraising, that is a poll. six points higher than before. people get it, it is a scam. republican party, they stick together in this and it is weaponization of the justice department, of the fbi. >> will: i'm sure you have seen the video of joe biden when he gave a smirk to the camera.

>> terrible. alvin bragg did not want to do the case. there is no case. i'm not allowed to mention the name, this guy can have shows and i cannot mention the name. so unfair. regardless, you have to play the hand you are dealt. you had a jury from a certain persuasion, would have been hard to do no matter what. i did absolutely nothing wrong. i hate when they say bookkeeping, this and that. it is not. it is called, think, expense, legal expense. i pay a lawyer, want a fixer, lawyer at the time. i pay a lawyer, bookkeep er without speaking to me, marks as legal expense, marked down as

legal expense. they say that is fraud. they shouldn't have allowed certain people to testify, it was totally wrong. everyone says this is easy to overturn. the only problem they have, my poll numbers have gone up. explain this, pete, maybe will can explain it, they are smart in texas, right? poll numbers have gone up substantially. >> will: you changed your tone some point, more hopeful in the beginning and toward end you said even mother teresacouldn't be found innocent. >> nice people, i've had a lot of lawyers that were not nice.

these are really fine people. they would object, not accepted, not accepted. when the government, d.a., alvin bragg, said something, all right, that is fine, more, more, more. think of it. main thing this was turned down by southern district. this could have been brought seven years ago. they did not have any intention, case like this has never been brought before and a state has never gone after a federal election. that is for southern district. we got clearance from the fec. they are suing saying we violated, they gave us cl clearance. >> pete: moving forward, they set arraignment date four days

before the rnc. some suggested you could appeal straight to the supreme court. the judge could say house arrarrest or jail. >> i'm okay with it. i saw one of my lawyers say, don't do that to the president. i said, don't beg for anything, way it is. they have my books. they went for five years sued me to get my tax returns. they got them. the supreme court gave it to them, they never found anything. >> rachel: supporters have said mutually assured destruction. you said your revenge will be success for america. you just had this verdict, do you feel the same? what is your thoughts on that? >> really tough question in one

way. these are bad people, these people are sick and do things that are so destructive. look from the day i got there, a lot of people said, we have no choice but to elect trump, he can withstand this. if not me, they would go after somebody else, i know the c compe competition, they would not do so well. you love life, how can you do this and rally after rally, the energy. how do you do this? how does your family do this? all the obstacles, these are things you care about, what about everybody around you. >> tough on me. they are good people, everyone, i have a wonderful life who has to listen to this stuff all the time. they do these salacious names of

people and i'm not allowed to defend myself because of a gag order. they put this up to create havoc. these are bad people. i know every move they make, i get it. it is tougher, i think in many ways, tougher on my family than on me. my sons, they are great and they work hard. >> will: how is melania trump doing? >> it is fine. it is hard. >> will: what about barron? >> he's amazing, tall, good-looking, very good student. applied to colleges and gets in everywhere he goes. he is sought after, smart guy, tall guy.

pretty cool. you have had an eventful week, we appreciate first interview with "fox and friends" after new york. >> steve: one point he did say that he was still under gag sh order because judge merchan still has not lifted it. donald trump observing it. he can't talk about witnesses, court people. >> brian: an ankle braceless, weekend arrest, will they put him in jail? vance, says he can't see it. >> lawrence: alvin bragg was asked, would he jail the former president, he said he would deal with it in court. >> brian: prosecutor has to make a recommendation.

>> lawrence: he shouldn't have any problem. >> ainsley: look at the polls and see if this is helping or hurting him. will that help or hurt him if we see president trump behind bars? he will have secret service with him. >> steve: he will appeal, you can't until you are sentenced. i sentence you to blank and blanche will raise his hand. >> ainsley: he's raised 200 million since. >> lawrence: pete and rachel are coming up, they asked trump about what he would declassify. >> ainsley: department of education, too. >> lawrence: two nypd officers shot overniept, what we're learning about the venezuelan migrant suspect. >> brian: illegal.

just closing a loan. we want to do whatever is best for the individual service person. we want to be known as america's mortgage company for veterans and active duty service people, and they and their families. we're the ones that are there to help them. people are doing hard, arduous, difficult, dangerous things. some of them are giving their lives right now today for the freedoms that we have here in this country. they're willing to do that for you for me and for our family. so for us at newday, to have the opportunity to turn around and help those people at this point in time. it's a labor of love. it's a noble service. and that's what we're all about.

hero applause there. todd piro has more. >> todd: detectives say the suspect entered the u.s. from eagle pass and came from venezuela and has been involved in other robberies. >> no prior arrests in new york city, he is suspect in several robberies in queens. he lives in a migrant shelter, he entered through eagle pass, texas in july of 2023. we know he entered illegally. >> todd: officers were investigating a robbery of mopeds and scooters and tried to pullover the suspect. officers chased him and he fired at them during the chase. one officer hit in his vest and one shot in the leg. one has been released from the

hospital. the suspect is in custody. police are investigating 80 robbery patterns citywide. >> steve: todd, thank you. tomorrow the white house is set to unveil sweeping action as we learn that more than 5 million illegal migrants have crossed the southwest border since joe biden took office. the administration reported ly dropping 350,000 asylum cases since 2022. border patrol agent in yuma arizona join us now. chris, one of these migrants in new york city, staying in a shelter, shot a couple cops. you would think the rule would be, you get due process, if you shoot a cop or somebody, you are

out. >> this is disgusting. this is on this department's hands. we have been talking about border security, public safety, there is a reason we have detention and need to secure the border. just letting people in, leads to chaos. this is repeating theme over and over again from failed policies coming out of washington, d.c. >> steve: 350,000 migrants in the country got notices to appear. administration says if you don't have a criminal record or are a threat, you are free to stay as long as you want. >> that to me is ridiculous. number one, it is a huge poll

factor. if american people don't know what that means, this is it. 350,000 people entered the country illegally. that will encourage people to show up. for administration that claims this is humanitarian effort, it is no more inhumane than not having a clear pathway. >> steve: right. more breaking news, sounds like biden administration tomorrow will announce executive order where they are able to stop surge at the southern border, if it hits 3500 a day, no more today, come back tomorrow. >> interesting now they are going to try to do executive

order which they said they couldn't do, this is a bandaid on an arterial bleed. again, this is something that is not going to be completely effective on what they are trying to accomplish. when you put target of 4000, that is half a million from now to end of this election cycle. why wait five months from the election, why not do it five months in. we'll see what is in the order and what is not in the order, which will be telling. >> steve: really telling number, though, is joe biden's poll numbers and that is why they are fr freaking out at the white house. thank you for joining live. meanwhile, 8:31 in new york

city. hunter biden arrived to court, jury selection for his gun trial starts about now. gregg jarrett on what to expect coming up next.

presiding over this case. what do you expect to happen? >> this case would normally be a slam dunk. it is delaware, though, remember that. name biden is sacrosanct and jill is there to remind them of that. best witness against hunter biden is hunter biden, he wrote a book about being a drug addict and buying a gun. he inkcriminated himself and it was foolish to cash in by pedalling a book about your addiction when you are under criminal investigation. cocaine residue on the gun holder, three women who were romantically involved with him. they are prosecution witnesses. finally, there are photographs

he took of himself, timestamped doing drugs four days before he bought the gun. you have to be arrogant, stupid or both to do that. >> lawrence: real quickly, one thing they are disputing is filling out the form, saying the gun seller filled out one spot in the form. if you have that defense, would he have to take the stand to be questioned about that or they will throw that out there? >> no, i mean, part of the defense, the form was innocuously altered by adding additional drivers license information. i his main defense, i couldn't

have knowingly lied, i was in denial about my addiction and i was in rehab, i didn't think i was an asddict anymore. i didn't have intent to lie or break the law. he tried challenging second amendment, i'm protected and other drug addicts, that is not prevailing federal law. his dad is on record arguing strict gun laws to be enforced, except against my own son. >> lawrence: addiction thing, say that to the people his dad got locked up. it is coming full circle and we'll see if joe biden is so passionate or only passionate

when it comes to his son and not other people he got locked up. we'll follow the case. jill biden is in the courtroom, no word if the president will be there. from epstein document to jfk, what former president trump would declassify if elected.ha his answer on the other side, there they go. likind of lose tht until you find a new family. we can talk about our struggles and the things that we did overseas and not everybody can do that. adam! how's it going, brother? we live pretty close to each other. so he's always coming over. when i go to jack's house, we watch a lot of football, hang out. we go outside the friendship has kind of grown into a family i was talking to some vet■s last week

sure, honey! this generation is so dramatic! move with xfinity. >> some people think one way to build trust is to declassify things everyone is talking about. you talked about, i don't want to be conspiracy theorist, would you declassify 9/11 files? >> yeah. >> jfk files? >> yeah, i did a lot. >> would you declassify the epstein files? >> i would, i guess i would, less so, you don't want to affect people's lives if it is phony stuff in there. it is a lot of phony stuff with that world. i think i would. >> former president donovan schultz revealing he would declassify a lot of stuff.

joining me is, your name, will, rachel and pete? nice to meet you. were you surprised by that, rachel? >> rachel: yeah, actually. i loved them. i think a lot of young people like that answer. i think there is a lot of trust in government lost to covid, wars we should not have been in, iraq war, this war. people want to know what is going on behind the scenes and people have lost trust. positive thing for donovan schultz, he looks like an outsider who would do that. he is running against insiders. >> will: rachel asked that in terms of loss of institutional trust, would this e gain instit institutional trust? i think the public feels censored and by intelligence

agencies and declassify ing thee could lead to trust. >> what does restoring trust look like? the answer was mixed when it came to the justice department. he said, i don't know, they went at me, how do i restore trust, i don't know. >> brian: last time he came in with people he didn't trust, did not replace enough that were on the other team. if he goes with heritage foundation, they have resumes screened. he could say, here is loose leafs with every job filled right away. >> i think it is called project

25, that the her stan taj foundn is working on. how will you end this in ukraine? how will you deport everyone here illegally. the job of president is to set marker and have good people that work for you accomplish goals. i think we acknowledge and he did, as well, i have to find good people. >> brian: you brought up, ron desantis said, donovan donald td not lockup hillary clinton like he said he would. would he this time? watch. >> i beat her, it is easier when you win. they said, lock her up and i could have done it, i felt it would have been a terrible thing and then this happened to me. so i may feel differently, i am not sure i can answer the

question. hillary clinton, people said lock her up, then we won. i said openly, all right, relax, make our country great. >> rachel: i think a lot of people talking about this piece of the interview, he said to lock her up. he didn't and he didn't after she and barack obama and intel attempted a coup on his administration. the russia hoax, he didn't do it and this happened to him. this is about mistrust, bill of rights applies to donald trump, he gets to have a fair trial. he sees the stuff going on in the government, people see him as only person who can do it. >> amazing how measured he was considering what has been done

to him, considering russia, and raid of mar-a-lago to this kwksz of sham stacked 43 counts and sat with us for an hour and a half and talk about that. move to issue of what he wants to do for the country. he wants to have the country's best interest -- >> people react to that part of the interview. i find intelligence individuals with no way to escape trump deran derangement syndrome. that is not the point. he didn't lock her up and he is saying, you are trying to lock me up right now. see what sentencing says, what he said in 2016 is not the point, he did not lock her up. you are trying to lock him up. focus on the fact he said, i

don't know what i may do in the future, you have opened pandora's box. you think hillary clinton or joe biden have not broken laws? get out of here. >> rachel: if they had done same amount of scrutiny on clinton foundation as on trump's 130,000 payment. biden administration is rifoorift with corruption and people are seeing this. there is nothing to paper over this. >> will is right, passion he showed is why trump has raised almost $200 million, he is representative of what is happening in our country. hillary clinton paid fine for illegal expense for russian

dossier, pay smalls fine and donald trump is on trial and convicted. if you want evidence of how system works, it is on full display. >> rachel: total election interference. >> brian: mcconnell and susan c collins said the trial was unjust. five minutes, have not promoed your podcast. >> will: i appreciate and love the support these two give me. 90 minutes, we want you to see it. spotify, apple, youtube will cain show today. >> brian: it's done. got you. >> rachel: breaking news, he said he will declassify that and
