to a slow down. >> carley: hunter biden found guilty on all charges and media making this about trump. >> politically, this is a big blow to trump. >> one could argue hunter biden is being treated worse than the average citizen. >> carley: really? walk you through hunter's next steps. >> todd: the story no one saw coming, joey chestnut banned from the nathan's hot dog eating contests. he is breaking his silence. >> carley: you have to eat nathan's hot dogs. we will bring you details. >> todd: there are details. you are watching "fox and friends first," i'm todd piro. >> carley: i'm carley shimkus. we have that coming up, first this fox news alert. president biden returns to the

world stage itself leaving for italy in two hours from now. >> todd: at home, group of icu linked terrorist suspects arrested after walking right into our country across the border. lucas tomlinson, what do we know? >> lucas: eight terror suspects entered the united states illegally through the southern border and received full vetting, according to bill melugin. they are from central asia, borderers afghanistan and china. the fbi and dhs said in a statement to fox, the individuals are detained in ice custody. fbi and dhs described in public bulletin, the u.s. been in heightened threat environment.

the fbi and dhs will work to identify and disrupt protential threats to national security. the suspected terrorists were arrested in recent days days. according to "new york post," part of the investigation featured a wiretap, which includes one of the now arrested individuals were talking about bombs. remember the boston marathon bombing, i believe something like that or worse may happen. described as increased threat of coordinated attack in the u.s. the suspects were also from tagikistan. >> carley: bring in john elliot to talk about this story. one of the most concerning things about this, these eight were not gotaways, they received

full vetting by cbp. they were welcomed into our country. given millions treated the same way, where does this leave us? >> you are right, carley, it is a disaster here. one aide used the app, you could go in and get prevetted. we are having terrorists use the ape. this is an open border and the terrorists know it. whether it is isis-k who killed 1000 people in moscow, a similar thing could happen now. look at the white house, over the weekend, what there was, you had people putting defacing one of the statue and throwing bricks at the park police there.

this is something not a single person got arrested there. we have people that can come that close to the white house and known terrorists, just since biden has been in office, you have had 320 known terrorists stopped at the border and that is just the ones we've stopped. if you use the app and you're a t terrorist, it is a disgrace. >> todd: just a matter of time before our intel services fail to catch one of the terror cells before it is too late. the fbi director expressed fear a few weeks ago. listen. we've seen the threat rise to another level, on top of that, is potential for a coordinated attack here in the homeland, not unlike the isis-k attack we saw

in march. >> todd: if elected, can he eliminate as much of this threat as possible or john, is it too late? it is not too late at all. we will start with criminals and put everybody coming here illegally under biden and earlier, trickle there compared to the wave going on now, he will deport these terrorists. what president trump said, police know where the guys are and with intelligence, resources we have, kudos to the fbi for finding these guys. good on them. what president trump will do is close the border and those here, he will make sure they are deported or arrested and p

prosecuted and deported after that. we need these guys in jail. >> carley: without question. everything in afghanistan, isis-k has been on the rise since we left there. given our catastrophic our withdrawal was, does not seem like sending troops back now is on the table. given the fact terror organizations, would it be safer if we did have a presence there? >> you are right, under biden, we gave up the bagram air force base. the withdrawal from afghanistan was to keep bagram, who is contr controlling bagram air force base? the chinese. we have over the horizon capability. it biden not given away bagram,

we would have been safer and could have attacked isis-k where we are. >> todd: president biden will be heading to italy for the g-7 summit as israel and hamas ceasefire looms large. what deliverables must biden walk away with in order to be considered a success, john? >> one thing for certain, after what happened with hunter biden, he will not be giving parenting tips and will not be giving them any talk on gun control. what he is going to do is going in and these are globalists who are afraid of president trump coming in. i think laura's program talked about how so many of these leaders are worried about what has happened in terms of more centrist forces coming in, right of center voices coming in.

he has to push back on them and he has to show that somehow he is able to make it across the finish line. they are ready to bail on him right now and they are asking for more money for ukraine, they are ready to bail on him. they are telling him that hate to break it to you, biden, there is a steep discount on hunter biden's art. >> carley: israelis medias hamas rejected key parts of the ceasefire deal. thank you for joining us. >> todd: hunter biden awaiting sen sentencing date after he was found guilty on all counts in his gun trial. >> carley: brooke singman has details this morning. >> brooke: jury found the first son guilty for lying about drug use to buy a gun. sentences is yet to be

scheduled, hunter is facing fine of $750,000 and maximum of 25 years in prison, although he is unlikely to coany prison time. hunter said, i'm more grateful today for the love and experience i experienced from melissa, my friends, my family and community than i am di disappointed by the outcome. the president has defended his son for years. >> peter: -- >> yes, yes, yes, god love you, man, you're a one-horse pony. my justice department will be on its own making determination how to proceed. >> do you think your son did nothing wrong? >> president biden: i'm conf

confident. >> peter: have you spoken to your son? >> president biden: i'm proud of my son. >> brooke: one juror said naomi's testimony hurt hunter's defense. that was heartwrenching and i think all jurors felt the same thing. another juror speaking out. >> he was like anybody else, nobody is above the law no matter who you are, politics played no part m this. >> brooke: americans reacting to the verdict. >> anybody, whether famous or not, answers to whatever the jury decides. >> i'm happy, justice is served. >> he needs to suffer consequences. >> if guilty, he should be brought to justice. >> i agree, do the crime, do the time.

>> brooke: he is facing another trial over allegedly fairlying to pay over million dollars in taxes. those taxes have since been paid and he pleaded not guilty. >> carley: few weeks before the election in november. >> todd: that has a paper trail showing documents and where the money is. >> carley: todd, are you sick of winning? >> todd: tired of winning. >> carley: students in one state learning how to win at cap capitalism and it is seeing huge success. >> todd: the woman who created the program and a student join us next, you won't want to miss it.

frustration and understand we are crying out for hymn. >> carley: i think we lost them, unfo unfortunate time to do it. they need action and change in los angeles and the loss of this actor is just one other horrific and sad example of crime that can, feels like, impact anybody. one thing iun waed to ask grant, we hope to bring them back, the moment before johnny died, he was with a co-worker. saw his car getting broke into, he thought it was being towed and he noticed something was wrong and he stepped in front of his female co-worker. >> todd: one thing we are not hearing enough about, this to their point, it could happen to

anybody. this area in los angeles is basically right at what was formerly the staple center. >> carley: we have them back, we lost you for just a moment. pick up where we left off, i believe micah talking about your message. >> we want our city leaders to hear us, you hear secretive conversations in l.a., people whispering about how bad crime is and how dangerous it is. then this happens and it is so close to home. we want to give people an opportunity to stop having the conversations in secret and step out in public and let their voice be heard. enough is enough. we're walking around with fear and anxiety. >> carley: grant, how many

people do you expect at the march? do you have hope this could change things for the better down the road. >> i have no idea how many people are going to be out there, micah organized it all. i know johnny touched a lot of people. i think there will be plenty people, people that didn't know johnny. i think a big number. i hope it will help, even af after -- catch the guys that did it, i want it to continue. >> carley: micah, you met johnny in acting school 10 years ago, you have a great relationship. give us information about the page. >> we do, we have been raising money with the family for --

city safe again. president biden did address gun violence yesterday, did not mention his son's felony gun conviction which came down hours earlier. white house cancelling the press briefing, that did not stop the media from making this about donald trump. watch. >> mrith cally, this is a big blow to trump. he's trying so hard to create this weaponization. >> you have a president of the united states who is living embodiment of the rule of law, even with respect to his only living son. >> know ares have struggled to make it line of attack stick. most people see this and feel sympathy. >> carley: joe concha joins us now. this is a big blow to donald trump. what do you think about that news coverage yesterday, joe?

>> joe: wow. i have not seen chuck todd on tv in i don't know how long, he is still there, i forgot about that. the other todd is making a gesture. that is what i thought. this is not apples to apples comparison. the hunter biden case was open and shut. he got caught. same will be said after the tax trial in november, he did not file taxes, that is documented on paper. with trump trial, ask 100 people on the street, what was the crime donald trump committed and no one can explain or define it. a bookkeeping error? if that is the case, that is misdemeanor at best, not a felony or jailable event.

we have judge merchan deciding donald trump's fate. one comparing to the other, no. the cases are two different things and hunter biden, every analyst said would be found guilty if the jury was not swayed because it was in booides backyard and they were not. >> carley: hunter biden was going to get a plea deal and then got the irs whistleblowers that were getting blocked at every blow. >> todd: no precedence for get out of jail free card. there is narrative of whether joe biden's mental psyche is okay. that was a theme for a lot of coverage yesterday. "washington post" says hunter biden's guilty

verdict resurfaced dark moments in the family's history. notice lack of similar concern for trump's psyche. watch the comparison. >> one could argue hunter biden is being treated worse than an average system. >> as a parent, worst nightmare come true. >> donald trump is waking up today facing different reality, first morning as convicted felon in new york. donald trump, first american president convicted of a crime and seconds later, two felonies, and kept breaking his brand new old record. >> todd: i didn't see a lot of tears discussing donald trump, did i miss something?

>> joe: tears of joy, if anything, after that verdict came down. good to see raf itch /* mad -- rachel maddow on tv. those are msnbc clips, we know where they come from. you have folks on there that gave oorther point of view and w what happened to ronna mcdaniel who was milquetoast in terms of making an argument positive for americans and donald trump and she was pulled from the air after one appearance because the inmates run the asylum over there. this is what donald trump will deal with up until election day, since the messenger is so m

mistrusted, the media, not sure what impact it has on public psyche. before 2016 election, 59 newspapers we looked at the hill, gave endorsement of the two candidates. 57 to hillary clinton and 2 to donald trump and that got clinton a set of steak knives and concession speech. >> todd: only real takeaway from the hunter biden case, it would have been swept under the rug, if not for one federal judge. we appreciate it. >> carley: major day for the economy, we are awaiting new inflation report. cheryl casone will explain why you should pay attention to this. >> todd: and teen usa doubling drown to leave caitlin clark off the olympic squad, we'll bring
