>> just days before trump and biden are set to face off, the two are taking different

approaches this weekend as president biden is hunkered down at camp david while the former president is gearing up for two speeches today, including one next hour in front of christian activists at the faith and freedom coalition conference in washington d.c. welcome to fox news live, everyone, i'm jacqui heinrich. griff: great to be with you. i'm griff jenkins. tonight, trump will continue his recent tour of battle ground states headed to pennsylvania for a rally at temple university in philadelphia. that's where our alexis mcadams kicks things off for us live. hey, alexis. >> hey, guys, a hot and steamy day here in philadelphia. the former president will be out here in a matter of hours. a long line of supporters actually wrapped up here along behind me at temple university in philly. we expect him to talk about the economy and also crime in the philadelphia area as he tries to win over another key state. this is part of a swing state tour by the former president, he's hitting michigan, wisconsin, georgia and today,

pennsylvania. these are states the former president won back in 2016, but he lost in 2020. in recent polling, trump is doing better right now in those states and this time around might have a better outlook. he's gaining support with young and non-white voters, who say they're upset with biden's handling of the economy and gaza. 32% of voters say the economy is in good or excellent shape right now that's the highest during biden's presidency, but still, in the poll it's negative at this point. and right now, president biden is preparing the debate at camp david and former president trump is on the campaign trail appearing at an event in d.c. and flying to phil yip. trump says he won't just be debating the president on the stage, but the moderators, too, watch. >> i'll probably be negotiating with three people, but that's okay, i've done that before. i'll be debating three people instead of one, instead of one

half of a person. >> okay. so, after this debate though, both candidates say they're going to stay in the south. we're now learning that biden will stay in south carolina where he lost to trump in 2020. and trump is going to virginia. it's two decades since a republican carried the commonwealth state in the race for the white house. trump's team is investing heavily on virginia and one of the vp on the short list so far, one name floated glenn youngkin the governor of virginia. we'll see how that plays out in philly, back to you. griff: we shall see, indeed. alexis mcadams, live in philly. jacqui: president trump spends the weekend out on the trail and president biden stays in camp david preparing for the upcoming cnn debate. madeleine rivera has the latest. >> good afternoon, preparations are usually shrouded in

secrecy, but vice-president kamala harris says it will crystallize for voters in november. >> i think the debate is going to make clear the contrast between our president, the current president, who works on behalf of the american people, fights for the american people, and the former president who pretty much spends full-time fighting for himself. >> the stakes couldn't be higher on thursday when president biden and former president trump go head to head for the first time this election cycle. it comes as the president is continuing to battle questions over his age and mental acuity, and concerns the campaign has dismissed. the president is expected to put trump on defense over his record on reproductive rights, democracy and taxes among other issues. the campaign is confident about the president's record despite a fox news poll showing biden trailing trump on things like immigration, the economy, and the war in the middle east. the president though tops trump on democracy, health care and abortion. the president's former chief of staff, ron klain is leading the

premium and playing trump in mock sessions and he played that role in 2020. and delaware chris coons hopes that the president will speak to this strategy. >> i would encourage our president not to talk in the abstract in percentages and economic terms and we have the strongest economy, but instead to focus on new manufacturing plants, high skilled high wage jobs. >> president biden is laying low with no events scheduled before thursday and that debate. jacqui: griff. griff: meanwhile, bernie sanders and aoc is with one democrat who is looking at a race with a centrist democrat. >> hi, well, the track record

of jamal bowman is put to test at the ballot box this weekend as he looks to defend his record as a progressive squad member. what to do, a last minute push for support. take a look. this is a rally at the bronx. bowman is set to be here for day two with campaigning with other progressive voices. vermont representative bernie sanders and alexandria ocasio-cortez. yesterday, sanders seemed to clarify bowman's position on israel. >> israel like any other country had a right to defend itself, but what it does not have the right to do is go to war against the entire palestinian people and now what? jamal's position on this issue and my position, it's strong majority position of people in the democratic party. >> this comes after bowman has

represented the left's opposition to israel's handling of the war in gaza. he drew criticism when he once denied the sexual aspects of i attacks on israel. >> immediately when the u.n. provided additional evidence, i voted to condemn the sexual violence and i apologized for my comments. >> bowman's primary challenger, george lattimer, puts a spotlight on the tensions within the democratic party over the war. and he's got the backing of establishment democrats like hillary clinton and super pacs which dumbed money in. and bowman says it's a black

man who stands up for his convictions and here is how lattimer tried to contrast his position. >> he and other matters of the squad have an active aggressive israel, you have to have them at the table and negotiate this out. >> of course, we know that bowman sparked controversy long before the war in the middle east. last year he pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor and fined after pulling the fire alarm in the capitol ahead of a vote to avoid a government shutdown. griff. griff: cb cotton, live in the bronx for us. cb, thanks. jacqui: new details in the investigation of the brutal murder of 12-year-old jocelyn nungaray, allegedly by two migrants crossing the border, one of them last month.

this is as they're making headlines this week. nate foy has the latest on the story. >> hey, jacqui. the emotion is certainly still raw here in houston, texas as you can see behind me a memorial set up for 12-year-old jocelyn nungaray, and over my other shoulder, the bridge under which investigators found her after she was murdered. they found her on monday and police say that two illegal migrants from venezuela are responsible for it. last night, hundreds of people showed up to a vigil in her honor. take a look at this video. among the people who showed up were the mayor of houston and he called our country's immigration system broken. today the two capital murder suspects remain in jail. according to ice, you mentioned, border patrol agents in el paso, arrested and released both suspects earlier this year. 22-year-old johann martinez in martin and franklin pena late last month three weeks before jocelyn's murder.

>> it makes us realize how broken our immigration system is. they shouldn't be here and they actually were ap helpeded, we understand, at one time, but let loose to report to immigration. it's a broken system. everyone in the nation knows it. so congress, the administration need to do their part to make certain that criminals are not crossing our border. >> jacqui, prosecutors requested a one million dollar bond each writing in court documents that the two illegal migrants lured jocelyn under the bridge, took her pants off, tied her up and strangled her to death. and prosecutors are gathering evidence. they say if a sexual assault happened, this case could be prosecuted differently. meanwhile, in new york city the ecuadorian migrant accused of raping a 13-year-old girl was also caught and released by

agents. and given a notice to appear in court. the suspected killer of maryland mother rachel morin is back arrested in oklahoma. he had four tries of gotaway, 1.9 million known got-aways by joe biden. and with agents reporting just shy of 118,000 illegal crossings at the southern border in may alone. we'll send it back to you. jacqui: that's heart wrenching for that family and community. nate foy. griff: for more on this border crisis let's bring in border chief, rodney scott. chief scott, i want to start where nate foy left off. you've got a 13-year-old raped in new york. a 12-year-old strangled in houston. a mother of five raped and killed in maryland. migrants from ecuador, el

salvador, how many times does this have to happen before people demand action? >> that's a great question, griff and i hope no more. every one of these is preventible because these people should not be in the country in the first place. as we've talked about before, we had the most secure border this country has ever seen at the end of the trump administration because for 27 years we've focused on improving our ability to detect people entering the united states and to prevent them from getting in without us knowing about it, to make sure there weren't gotaways, but that included ending catch and release so that we didn't just release people in the united states after we encountered them, we actually deported them and detained them until they had adjudicated-- their entire case was adjudicated. this administration walked away from that. get rid of sanctuary cities until we determine if they have a legal right to be here. and this problem is

significantly diminished overnight and all the agents out there want to focus on finding the criminals and kicking the criminals out, but right now the biden administration has a processing fraudulent asylum claims. griff: and nate foy said they released the numbers. 1 1 170,000, and 118,000 between the ports of entry. the may numbers, the lowest month of the fiscal year. it's the lowest may of biden's administration over the three and a half years. but yet, we know one of those venezuelans that raped 12-year-old jocelyn nungaray came at the end of may. even with lower numbers, you're still having this threat. how do you immediately address that? >> you immediately address it by implementing some policies that we had before. i want to touch on the numbers, griff. they can be misleading.

first and foremost, anything over a thousand illegal entries a month gives the cartels the upper hand so they can guarantee gotaways, they can guarantee to some of their customers they'll get past. they use the people willing to use the illegal asylum loopholes. people look at the national numbers not just the southwest border and look how many illegal aliens the biden administration is pushing through the ports of entry. that's overwhelming the cbp officers as well. the numbers are a little bit down, but they always trend a little in july because of the heat and a little bit of the rhetoric behind the asylum, the change in the asylum process, but this isn't sustainable because nothing has really changed. until the biden administration ends catch and release, we're going to continue to see the tsunami and unfortunately, we're going to continue to see americans suffer at the hands of illegal immigrants, because

the biden administration has chosen to have a reactive strategy instead of a proactive strategy. griff: chief, the tone of the administration in the cases of these horrific recent migrant crime incidents, it struck me a little bit on another channel, secretary mayorkas was interviewed. here is his answer to one of the questions, tell me what you think. >> of course our hearts break for the children, the family, loved ones, the friends of the individual who was murdered. the woman, the mother. griff: should he know her name, rachel morin? >> he should know her name, but i hate to chuckle on such a serious, serious issue, but find anytime that that man has ever shown compassion for an american. he continually talks about the illegal aliens and the plight

of the migrant, but he can't even say the name of a u.s. citizen that suffered at the hands of his policies. i hope america's really paying attention to what this administration focuses on and who they really care about because it's not america. griff: and just in the last 15 seconds or so, is there anything you want to get out there about the vetting process specifically? because it's clear in the ig report pointed out. it's not working. >> in the short amount of time we have, true vetting includes a face-to-face interview with trained agents that can actually detect deception and then actually research the individual's story. that's not happening today and as long as there's over a thousand illegal entries a day, that will not happen because border patrol just simply doesn't have the band width to be able to do it and neither does the fbi or ice. griff: former chief rodney scott, great insight as always. thanks for taking time. >> thank you, griff. griff:iac. jacqui: another setback for

>> a shooting outside an arkansas grocery store leaves three dead and 10 more hurt. it all happened in broad

daylight yesterday an hour south of little rock in the town of fordyce. police say 44-year-old travis posy is in custody after a shootout with officers. two officers are hurt, but are expected to recover. jacqui: the man caught on camera attacking paul pelosi with a hammer has been found guilty on kidnapping charges. the attack on then speaker nancy pelosi's husband was after he broke into the home. he previously received a 30-year prison sentence in federal court on attempted murder. griff: bringing sexy back star, justin timberlake, after the dwi arrest in the hamptons. in chicago he's resuming his world tour and thanked the crowd for supporting him. he was released without bail earlier this week. jacqui: a judge ruled against alec baldwin after a second attempt to get his case

dismissed in the case of cinematographer helenhelena. >> a judge denied to dismiss the case. the legal team claimed the prosecution did not have evidence to prove that the gun used in the shooting was working properly. they also argue that baldwin had no grounds to believe the weapon contained a live round. however, the prosecutors argue as the lead actor and as a producer on this western film, baldwin should have been more careful. those attorneys went back and forth. and so, as you-- all right. and again, judge mary marlo rejected the motion to dismiss baldwin's involuntary manslaughter case. and involuntary manslaughter says that it talks about the

defendant. in the meantime, he maintains he's innocent and pleaded not guilty. as for the armorer, hannah gutierrez reed was sentenced to 18 months in prison and she is appealing the conviction. now, another motion to this -- to dismiss baldwin's case, is on monday, and he'll be scheduled in july. jacqui: sorry we didn't have that sound bite. thank you for rolling with it and we appreciate it. griff: jacqui, the f.d.a. authorized the first menthol flavored electronic cigarettes for adult smokers after parent groups spent years pushing against flavors like menthol which are more popular with teens. and they say that it can help blunt the toll of smoking which

>> you're looking live at the an annual faith and freedom coalition in washington former president trump will be the speaker later this afternoon. the largest public policy gathering of christian conservative activists and later trump will speak in philadelphia. right now the virginia governor glen young kin speaking let's listen to what he's saying. >> both inviting god into our national pursuits and asking for his help. i lift my eyes up to the hills, where does my help come from? my help comes from the lord, maker of heaven and earth.

these truths are self-evident. george washington praying over his troops at valley forge. abraham lincoln beseeching the gracious favor of god almighty in the emancipation proclamation. president roosevelt on d-day, d-day we just honored and remembered the 80th anniversary of, he called our nation's prayer for our troops as they embarked on the great crusade with the eyes of the world upon them. griff: and that's governor glenn youngkin talking about what matters most to christian voters this november. we'll check back in at the faith and freedom conference when former president trump gets there. jacqui. jacqui: all right. for more on the 2024 race, let's bring in our political panel. with us today is 440 strategy ceo ryan taylor and former obama campaign foreign policy

advisor. thank you both for being here. >> thanks for having us. jacqui: we're all waiting for this debate next week and it's hard to believe it's right around the corner, but interestingly enough, you know, fox polls show that it looks like people expect trump to come out on top. we did a poll that showed among the parties, each one thinks that their candidate is going to come out on top, but all voters together, trump has a five-point lead. what do you attribute that to? >> one, i think that trump's base is clearly motivated and i will say, you know, this is a good opportunity for trump to continue that momentum in motivating his base. at the end of the day though, i like and debate to a state of the union. unless there's some seminal event it's good for a couple of news cycles and everyone pretty much moves on. there's 85 to 90% of voters who aren't going to tune into this. jacqui: 85 to 90% of voters

won't tune into the first debate? >> all voters. jacqui: we'll see. >> you'll have about 20 million people tuning in, but a lot of people who won't be. jacqui: we can watch. >> there you go. jacqui: we'll rye visit this discussion a week from now. david, i think what i've been thinking about the president's message, it's hard for me to i think about what is the bumper sticker issue outside of the democracy issue. when you look at some of the swing states. abortion is not on the ballot in the swing states and the swing states it's not on the ballot in michigan, the economy is the top issue for voters there, women care about the economy more in states where it's not on the ballot and what is biden's message on the economy? it's hard to put on a bumper sticker. >> i think this debate is much more important than my colleague thinks for a number of reasons. one is what you said, which is this is the first opportunity in this campaign cycle for each candidate to define what this

race is really about and they're going to have that chance speaking directly to the american voters and i also think there's much more emphasis on this debate, it's much more important than in previous years because it's so much sooner. this is the first time it's this soon since these debates started in 1960. also, the next debate isn't for many months so it used to be if you had a bad performance in a debate, you had a week or two to-- a week or two away from being able to correct that performance. now, it will be months away until the next debate, which might be the last debate and the image that comes from this first debate will be crystallizing in voter's minds. so, both candidates have to define what the election is about. i think that there are less expectations on biden. if he shows up, he's energetic and sharp and people say he did better than we thought. and there's a lot of pressure on trump. he hasn't been president for four years, and he's not going

to be able to interrupt biden and turn off his mic when biden is speaking and no crowd in the debate and he can't play to the crowd. >> well, you know, it's-- when we look at sort of the advantages that each of them have, it seems like there's one thing you can look at the polling and you can get the fund raising and trump had a very good month in may. look at the fund raising totals, he hauled in $75.4 million dollars. got 11.6-- excuse me, 111.6 million cash on hand. the biden team took in 37.7 million in the month of may and they've got 91 million a little over cash on hand. that has got to be startling, if you're the biden campaign because they started with a giant fund raising advantage. and trump is obviously closing the gap now you're hearing from democrats in the president's orbit, expressing concern like in that axios article earlier this week, they fear that you can't advise a change of course or else you'll be cast to the

side and if there's a politico article that struck me, the headline, why democrats think biden's problem is biden. the party's most vulnerable senate incumbents are running ahead, one of those issues, reproductive rights have repeatedly proved a winning message and yet, joe biden is struggling to poll even with donald trump. typically it doesn't work out that way where the bottom of the ticket leads, you know, the momentum for the top. usually the top of the ticket is supposed to pull the down ballot candidates. so what's happening here? >> this is a different election, period. and i think what you're also seeing is there are droves of low propensity voters who are flocking to president trump and that is turning conventional wisdom on its head and certainly the parties are scrambling to understand this momentum and revise their get out the vote efforts.

i think my friend here mentioned the debate and being a crystallizing moment. we've also got a vp nomination to hear. we've got conventions. so, to say it's crystallizing moment, i think, is far overselling it. but there's lots of inflection points between now and then and i just think that the upper hand goes to trump and he may also say in terms of the new polls coming out from fox, that biden is showing a lead, that it's possibly tied to the conviction that also is turning its head on conventional wisdom. usually you see a softening with numbers correlating with lower numbers in fund raising and we're definitely not seeing that. i wouldn't count that as being an issue. it's not a long-term drag on trump campaign. jacqui: give you the last word, david so you can respond, but also, we talk a lot about the issues and trump has an advantage on the two issues that fall in rank of importance just below the democracy

question in that fox news poll, the economy and immigration. and they have been seizing on that message for the entire biden administration. but the democrats have a line that, you know, they can use against republicans which is that they're the only party that did anything on immigration. do you think that they -- that that is a double-edged sword, david? no one's really happy with the president on his handling of immigration and the border iert either. >> i think it's going to be interesting, that's why the president changed the policy and changed asylum at the border and pushed hard for congress to pass immigration reform which, by the way, the republicans prevented from passing in congress. he's going to talk about that at the debates. he wants to win over voters he knows that's a place where he's weak. my colleague mentioned there's a new fox news poll out, and

biden is ahead by one point. weeks ago, he was ahead in fund raising and now it's switched. there are going to be crystallizing moments for the debate. that's where you'll see the best comparison of the candidates, but i would say i would agree with my colleague, who trump picks as his vice-presidential nominee is also going to be a crystallizing moments and the democrats don't have that because we know who the vp candidate is going to be. let's see it's going to be an interesting summer and also the conventions which you could move the needle one way or the ot other. >> the stakes couldn't be higher. thanks. griff: jacqui, great conversationment meanwhile, nasa delaying the boeing starliner's return to earth from the international space station. not once, but now, twice. madison scarpino is here with more on nasa's decision. what's going on? >> well, this is the first crewed mission on the boeing

starliner and now the astronauts won't be coming home until at least july. the mission began on june 5th and the crew was initially due back on earth around the 18th. the starliner has small helium leaks and thruster problems and nasa says engineers need to study these issues, but experts say this is not too concerning. here is what a retired nasa astronaut is saying about the delays. >> nasa is trying not to be complacent. that's what got us in both the challenger and the columbia accidents, not to mention the apollo one fire back in 1967. so, trying not to repeat those mistakes, being extra cautious, that's what we're seeing. >> nasa says the starliner is performing well while docked at the space station. and the crew manager says they're strategically using the extra time, completely critical station activities and getting to the source of any problem so that future astronauts won't have to deal with the issues. the two astronauts on this

mission are retired navy captains sonny william and butch willmore. while starliner's crew test flight was only expect today last about eight days. nasa says that they've completed a lot at iss so far answer again, no exact date on when that return is going to happen after these two delays, but nasa says that the two astronauts are remaining very positive and that things like food and supplies are not an issue as of yet, but when they come back to earth eventually, they're expected to land at the white sands space harbor in new mexico. >> madison scarpino, tracking that for us, thank you. >> new israel dispute between president biden and israel's netanyahu continues over u.s. aid.

>> a russia bomb attack killing them today. as russia released a massive attack on ukrainian facilities last night. stephanie bennett is live with the latest. >> yeah, the ministry says it's the eighth attack in three months on the energy facilities. the ukrainian air force, they say that their air defense systems shot down 12 of 16 missiles and all 13 drones launched by russian-- but launched by russia across several regions throughout the night. this afternoon, officials in kharkiv said three people were killed and at least 18 injured by those guided bombs with at least four explosions heard across the city. the overnight attacks wounded two energy workers and damaged equipment, and others damaged a housing and a kindergarten. ukrainian's president says

russia destroyed half of the generating capacity in march. and keying oil facilities with drone strikes and to help support ukraine, the white house said this week, it will rush a delivery of air defense interceptor missiles to ukraine by redirecting planned shipments to other allies nations. although they wouldn't say which other nations could be affected or how many. and meanwhile, president putin north with north korea's kim jong-un. south korea said they would consider arming ukraine and so far nonlethal aid to ukrainement and they warned that sending weapons to ukraine would be a big mistmistake. griff: stephanie bennett. >> the idf launched an attack

in gaza and the refugee camp overnight and reporting that a senior hamas official was the target of the attack. the results of the strike are unclear at this hour. for more on the war in israel, nathan sales, former ambassador at large and counterterrorism. thank you for being here, ambassador. we were talking during the break about the ongoing war of words between the u.s. and israel and just how perplexing that is when you hear netanyahu very firmly making an allegation that the u.s. is withholding support and stalling arms transfers and then a flat refusal from the white house. i want to play for you what john kirby said reacting to netanyahu's claim. >> the idea that we had somehow stopped helping israel with their self-defense needs is actually just not accurate.

jacqui: what's going on here? do you think it's possible that netanyahu is messaging to a domestic audience and this is actually not happening? >> i don't think we really know what's going on here. clearly something is happening that has caused anxiety in jerusalem. is it possible that netanyahu is amplifying the frictions in order to demonstrate to a skeptical israeli public that he's still the man who can defeat hamas, the man who can secure israel? that's possible. the reason why, i think, that the allegations we've heard from jerusalem are at least facially plausible because we've seen this story play out before. we've seen it in ukraine. for the past two and a half years, the white house has given our ukrainian partners just enough to fight, but not to win. and that it could escalate out of control. and it's clear that the bear is

watching and our enemies are watching, too. anytime iran or the lebanese terrorist group hezbollah perceives daylight between washington and jerusalem, that's an opportunity for them to try to drive a wedge and exploit differences. because the white house has been publicly wagging its fin fingers at israel and netanyahu in particular. and opening up any daylight. when the united states and israel is. lockstop that's security and divided that's a message to our adversaries. jacqui: how dangerous is it when you have the danger of another front of lebanon opening. >> it's extremely dangerous. on day one after the october 7th attack by hamas in the south of israel, on the eighth, the very next day, hamas ally, hezbollah, started to open up a second front and tens of

thousands of rockets fired from hezbollah positions from the north in lebanon into israeli communities. 60,000 israelis had to evacuate the north and they've been living in temporary housing for the past eight months. i think about how the united states would respond if canada were allowing a terrorist group and we had to like evacuate buffalo for eight months. clearly the united states would never tolerate that kind of threat and israel shouldn't have to tolerate it either, but it's a powder keg. hezbollah is one step away from making a massive miscalculation that could set off another massive tinder box in the north. >> you brought up ukraine and how u.s. has handled its relationship with ukraine aid, and we had a pretty stunning development this week because it was just about a week ago that we were with the president in italy at the g7 and they firmly said, we're not going to change our policy allowing ukrainian forces to shootover

the border using u.s. made munitions except for this this very limited space and they seem like they were pretty set on that decision, that policy decision and then this week, they have opened that up to allow ukrainians to use u.s. munitions anywhere along the border, so long as they're firing at someone that's firing at them. we're changing the policy and evolving with the threat, but not to a degree where, you know, if you look at where russia has its depots and its ground forces, you know, critics say it's not to the degree where it's going to turn the tide. what do you say to that? >> well, i'd say first of all, it's about time. it's about time that the white house took some of these arbitrary and indefensible restrictions off of ukraine. you can't win if you're forced to fight with one hand behind your back and that's the position that we put the ukrainians in since february of 2022 when putin launched this

war of aggression and we've seen the same pattern play out. we're afraid, the white house is afraid of provoking russian escalation. and for me, the low point came a couple of weeks after the war started and the brits decided they're going to impose sanctions on one of putin's mistresses and that's provocative, what are you afraid of. if svetlana can't come to new york, it's going to lead to world war iii. and they think the united states put the sanctions on the mitt stress and we looked at the use of arms on ukrainians and finally the situation is untenable and we take the leash off, and ukrainians take action and putin wilts. we should not be afraid of putin, putin should be afraid of us. jacqui: we've done it with
