gulf. sit a powerful storm. we have the tropical storm warnings across portions there. hurricane warning in jamaica and cayman islands as you watch all this storm slowly track that direction. there are a couple other areas out there paying attention to right now but this is the big one, sandra. we are kicking off what could be an active season. no surprise we're seeing such a big storm. >> sandra: keep us posted and we'll check in soon. download the fox weather app for more coverage of hurricane beryl. >> dana: former president trump gaining momentum fueled by his strong debate and immunity ruling by the supreme court. i'm dana perino. hemmer is off today. good to have you with me. >> sandra: thanks for having me. i'm sandra smith. divided supreme court handing down the decision ruling presidents are entitled to some immunity from prosecution for official acts.

republicans are on a winning streak uniting behind trump ahead of the gop convention later this month in wisconsin. democrats are descending into total chaos after a debate performance that put a giant question mark at the top of their ticket. >> dana: today we're waiting for the first white house briefing since the debate and the supreme court ruling. it has been two weeks since the last briefing. trump legal advisor alina habba telling us earlier the court made the right decision. >> i think the american people think that these cases should never have existed. let's just be clear. now we're in this political attack on a leading candidate because they can't win with their candidate. >> dana: bryan llenas is live in palm beach, florida with more. hi, bryan. >> hi, this morning fox can confirm that former president trump's lawyers have filed a letter to judge juan merchan asking the court to throw out his conviction in light of the supreme court's immunity decision. now look, if merchan agrees to

take this issue up, it would postpone the former president's july 11th sentencing. look, the judge could decide not to take this issue up. the deadline for filing post trial motions passed a few weeks ago and merchan could instead direct trump's lawyers to appeal the conviction after trump is sentenced. the supreme court ruled presidents have immunity for official actions taken while in office. in this case, trump's 34 felony convictions for falsifying business records is based on actions trump took as president but also as a candidate. keep in mind the supreme court also ruled testimony or private records of the president or his advisors cannot be admitted as evidence at a trial. now while the legal wrangling begins the political ramifications are playing out. president biden yesterday slamming the supreme court and

urging people to vote. >> president biden: so now -- now the american people have to do what the court should have been willing to do but would not, american people have to render judgment about donald trump's behavior. >> last night trump reacted to biden's speech posting another attack by crooked joe biden against his political opponent. this is a really bad and incompetent guy wanting to deflect from his horrible campaign performance. according to a new usa today poll the race was tied before last week's debate but after biden's performance, trump now has a three-point advantage over biden with registered voters nationwide. the poll finds 31% say they are more likely to vote for trump after the debate. just 10% are more likely to vote for biden. 44% say the debate did not impact their decision. keep in mind our fox news power ranking teams say it will take a couple of weeks and multiple polls before we can adjust our

election forecast. >> sandra: president biden's shaky performance is alarming all aisles around the world. blinken spoke yesterday insisting he is fit to lead. >> can you tell us what you think friends and foes around the world should know about american leadership today under president biden? >> the world knows, the world has experienced over 3 1/2 years not one night, is exactly the kind of leadership he has brought to bear on problems that are common for so many countries, particularly so many of the democracies around the world. confidence in american leadership has gone up dramatically over the last 3 1/2 years. it is the product of policies we pursue. >> sandra: joining us now fox news contributor joey jones. always good to have you here. they are forced to defend what happened last week on the world stage for sure. >> i love that blinken is up

there of that list of folks that trump said listen, you haven't fired anybody. on that list blinken has to be at the top. no amount of water he wouldn't carryy for his boss. you look back at president trump. he gets the abraham accords and now we can't get back five hostages from israel. the contrast is obvious. >> dana: one of the headlines, joe biden is asleep at the national security wheel and americans will die. i think that's one of the questions we're being asked. we started off the conversation with karl rove and harold ford junior the democrats' decision should biden continue to run or step back. i feel we're missing a point. he had staffers tell axios that he is only dependably engaged between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.

we're asking the wrong questions. the question we should be asking is, is he able to be the commander-in-chief right now? >> the answer is no. but someone is. someone in his administration is holding that role for him. i truly believe that. >> dana: that is not allowed under our system. >> but that's where we are with it. they believe that's okay. they think it is okay enough for four more years. it is really concerning when you look at his track record. he loves to talk about his record, okay, your record is you lost the marines, soldier and sailor at the abby gate in afghanistan. we have a terror threat right now from military bases abroad. your record and the deaths from illegal immigrants. when we talk about foreign policy because it feels domestic trump may have had the best relationship with mexico we have had in a couple of decades and they responded to the things he wanted to do. you could say they didn't pay for the wall but when you talk about remain in mx company as a

policy that's one of our biggest problems we can't turn people back into mexico if they aren't from there. trump solved that problem essentially. any of our borders and interests abroad. look at china and all of these things did not feel like they were waiting to explode when trump was in office. two years into biden's administration they start to explode. >> sandra: everyone is asking would he be able to lead in the future? when put the question in a quinnipiac poll if there was a crisis today who would you want at president? more than half said donald trump. as this goes on, does this continue to benefit the former president and his campaign? >> as long as there are hostages in gaza, as long as we don't have a remedy to what is happening in ukraine, as long as we see china almost weekly with some sort of headline. it showed down as of late. as we understand iran is moving

towards being a big catalyst in that region of the world, as long as the border is open i don't see where there is a track record. i don't really like joe biden's mental acuity to be the reason we distrust his leadership. four years ago he looked better. side-by-side on the two debates from four years ago and today. he made decisions that have hurt our country. robert gates said he has been wrong on pretty much every decision that the obama administration had to make. i think voters need to look at these two candidates because they are the candidates of what is their track record. take the mental acuity part out. president biden doesn't have a good record. >> sandra: richard haase, a foreign policy expert on morning joe this morning was saying there is no way biden could do this for another 4 1/2 years. it is too important a job. >> it seems like the best strategy is buy your way out of it. get some money and relief and

create some check that we can put in the mail and everybody will be happy. it doesn't work that day. >> sandra: the president stated that no american soldiers had died under his watch under this presidency. >> he said a couple of things tough. when he says his son died in iraq. i take huge issue with that. it's a tragedy he die but he didn't die in war. for a man to be so out of it to be confused or dishonest to say it is an affront to everyone whoever served. >> dana: fox news poll yesterday that question is america the best country in the world to live? 69% said yes, 28% say no. what say you? >> i say it's the best country in the world not because of the strength of our military the size of the economy or our free system the of government. we're the greatest country in the world because we burned the boats when we got here. we made it work with people of all race, ethnicity, religion, politics. when we walk out our door in the

morning and someone stumbles we don't think about those things before we pick them up. i have seen it and lived it myself. people when they have an opportunity to take a breath know it. >> dana: thanks for being here. i will see you "the five." looking forward to it. a federal judge blocks the biden administration's ban on new projects to export liquefied natural gas. 16gop led state sues the government saying it exceeded in authority denying the permits. grady trimble live in washington with more. will that stick? >> it could, dana. for the time being this is another setback in the biden administration's green push. this ruling from the judge temporarily blocks for now the department of energy's pause on new liquefied natural gas export permits. more than a dozen republican states challenged the ban and say they failed to look at the impact on national security. employment opportunities and funding for schools and charities and pollution

allegedly caused by increased reliance on foreign energy sources. the judge agreed and questioned why the department had to pause approvals in order to review the permitting process. elected officials from energy producing states are celebrating the ruling. senator bill cassidy called it a big win for louisiana. our country and our allies. he goes on to say president biden's ban on lng export permits was a war on the american worker. the latest roadblock to the climate agenda of biden. last week the supreme court ruled against an epa rule intended to restrict smoke stack emissions from power plants. administrations has issued new regulations related to electric vehicles that ended up being less stringent than the initial proposal after they got feedback from the auto industry and other stakeholders. they spoke out against it. to answer your question off the top, dana. the department of energy says it disagrees with this ruling

blocking the lng export ban and says it is reviewing the court's order and evaluating next steps. we'll see what they do next and that could determine whether this sticks or if it is atemporary block. >> dana: if i were them i would say the court has spoken. i guess this bad idea has to go away. they don't take my advice. you might. thanks for being here. >> i do. >> the idea he will be able to go out and weaponize as they say the department of justice against his adversaries, you know, i don't think there is particularly acute risk of that. >> sandra: former attorney general bill barr down playing criticism the supreme court undermined the rule of law if its immunity ruling. what it means for presidential powers moving forward. >> dana: it is the earliest category 5 storm to ever form in the atlanta. hurricane beryl ripping through puerto rico. >> sandra: u.s. marshals putting their lives on the line as they

>> sandra: new video on a major story we're following overseas. look at this. this is from on board that airplane that hit severe turbulence. a man was thrown to the ceiling and got stuck in an overhead bin. fellow passengers had to help him back down. the flight was heading to madrid -- from madrid.

at least 30 people on the plane were injured. six people are still in the hospital. look at this. this is incredible. >> dana: how did that happen? wow. >> sandra: prepares he was not belted in. wish them the best. >> dana: look at this. the first time in nearly two decades jeffy epstein transcript are being unsealed to the public. we have the shocking details. >> some of this testimony is tough to read because it is often in the voice of a young girl, girls 14, 15, 16 sexually abused by jeffrey epstein. lured into his palm beach mansion and pressured to go from massages to sexual acts. he told girls the younger the better. he paid girls he abused to go out and recruit to bring back more girls from royal palm beach

high school paying them $2 hundred apiece. this testimony was kept secret for 16 years. florida governor ron desantis signed a law making it public. the public deserves to know who was behind the sexual predator close friends with some former presidents, tech moguls as well as at least one prince. an excerpt from one of those testimonies of a 16-year-old girl. okay, the first time was a massage. you got the $2 hundred? yes. did it progress to something other than just massaging him? yes. tell us what it progressed to. he asked me to be completely naked and touch him. this went on and on for over a decade. epstein just got a slap on the wrist originally in florida sentenced to 13 months. pretty much work release able to take his chauffeur to his mansion into his office during that time. later then arrested again in 2019 in new york. he died in his cell there. investigators say it was a suicide. an attorney for one of these

girls, a 14-year-old girl, said this case, this testimony reading it just shows what a complete failure the justice system enacted in this case. back to you. >> dana: that's horrendous. thank you for bringing us the story, though. >> president biden: today's decision means there are virtually no limits on what a president can do. this is a fundamentally new principle. it is a dangerous precedent because the power of the office will no longer be constrained by the law. >> sandra: that was president biden last night scolding the supreme court for its immunity ruling and called the decision an attack on established american principles. the media's meltdown started within minutes of the decision. >> it don't matter if biden is old. what matters is that the other guy wants to be a king. >> did the court just say yeah, you can assassinate a political rival? >> the case underscores the core them of president biden's

re-election. the message that trump is a threat to democracy. >> a license to thug in a way. >> i'm generally a glass half empty kind of person. this is a death squad ruling. >> sandra: andrew cherkasky is a formal federal prosecutor and joins us now and joined us yesterday morning immediately following this ruling. it is almost like this has given them an excuse to get off of the debate and they are now talking about this. your reaction to what you just heard. >> i think that it is purely disingenuous to say that this creates some sort of license to kill or some sort of different place that the american presidency has been in the history of america. in fact through the history of america there has been no attempts or efforts to prosecute presidents. there has been really no insinuation to prosecute presidents. nearly 50 years ago the case of fitzgerald versus nixon put up boundaries to even civil litigation against presidents. typically you would be considered to have greater

rights from a criminal perspective than a civil perspective. this is crying over spilled milk at the highest order. no license to kill. the idea that a president has immunity does not immuneize them from proverb it or unofficial acts assassinating a political rival. it's histrionics on a ruling they didn't like. they want to see donald trump prosecuted for their own lawfare benefit. >> sandra: let's look at what president biden is saying now versus what he said then. the court's immunity decision undermining the rule of law. >> president biden: i will respect the limits of the presidential powers i have for 3 1/2 years. supreme court blocked me from relieving student death but didn't stop me. >> sandra: yeah, what about that student debt? >> one of the things we have to look at with president biden and really frankly any president is that part of the function of the executive is to push the

boundaries as to what you are or are not allowed to do especially if you disagree with congress in terms of exactly where certain lines are to be drawn. presidents throughout history but specifically president biden have contradicted rulings from the supreme court. the student loan issue is one that's particularly ripe. it was clear the executive was not authorized to spend billions of dollars based on the legislation that he was trying to act upon. supreme court said no, you can't do that after he tried. and then he tries to do it again. is that the sort of criminal act where you are directly interfering and rejecting the ideas of what congress says and what the supreme court says and you are still moving forward? should that be prosecuted? i don't think joe biden is ready for that. this is part of the politics of the tri cam rail system we have in america and makes america great because we're able to have each system check each other. >> sandra: where was the respect of the rule of law when robert

hur, official from the department of justice, described president bide nan a way he said he couldn't bring charges against him. national review is -- biden is a well-meaning elderly man with poor memory. liberal pundits couldn't believe it then. final question and we can pop "the new york times" headline on the screen. the former president is reportedly now moving to overturn his conviction in the new york criminal case after the supreme court immunity ruling. where do you see this going? >> well, we talked about that yesterday, sandra, right after the ruling had come out that i expected they would do that. this is the sort of thing where the defense is trying to strike while the iron is still hot. the idea of what happened in new york is that the president, although many of the acts occurred before he was the president, much of the evidence, as well as the charges themselves, all relate to times after he was in office. the supreme court ruling yesterday talks about the idea

that number one, you have to evaluate all of the prosecutions of a president while in office under the new standards essentially that they set to insure it is not official conduct. more than that it appears you cannot use evidence from when he was in office. they used that in the new york trial. i think that there is a good argument here. judge merchan is not likely to take kindly to it, though. >> sandra: great to have you on. great to see you. >> dana: super interesting. pandemic babies and toddlers are school age and displaying the devastating signs of covid era masks and lockdowns. you will not believe how far behind they are falling in developmental skills. plus one of the country's largest farm supply retailers is ditching its diversity, equity and inclusion program. money man charles payne up next with that. ♪

missing children in a sting operation aimed at recover kids in exploitation. jeff paul riding along with the marshals carrying out the critical mission. i love the marshals and this is incredible work. >> it really was. incredible to see it firsthand and the deputy u.s. marshals that we were embedded with say a lot of these kids they're looking for on the streets are at risk for exploitation, human trafficking as well as drug abuse. a real sense of urgency to find them before they disappear for good. >> police, u.s. marshal, out of the house. >> traininged to hunt down the most dangerous fugitives in the country. on this day deputy u.s. marshals in phoenix, arizona are tracking some of the most innocent people, children. >> with a kid if you don't find them you know they're out there potentially being victimized or in unsafe situations. >> jacquelin williams and her

team are one unit involved in operation we will find you, too. a nationwide effort to locate some of the 300,000 kids reported missing each year. >> it is harder to find these kids than it is fugitives. fugitives leave a lot more of a trail than a child that hasn't really experienced life. >> they work the phones, scour social media driving from address to address hoping someone knows where they are. many of the tips lead nowhere. after days of searching deputy marshals located an endangered teenager who had run away from state custody. >> it is rewarding absolutely. it is also a little sad because you know they are not in a great situation and there is only so much we can do to help. >> more than three dozen kid rescued and they tell us if the kids run away again they'll go find them again. anything to instill this idea their life matters. dana. >> dana: thank you. incredible story. >> sandra: now this.

brand-new study is finding the youngest age group during the pandemic is way behind in academics and social skills. covid babies and toddlers are starting school with serious developmental challenges with same age students in past years. let's bring in charles payne from fox business. there were so many who were silenced that were warning this would come if we kept masks and bubbled and separated and especially out of the school all together. >> that's the sad part about this. even when people were being silenced, you knew there was going to be an i told you so moment. no fun is saying i told you so when the fact of the matter is so many children are left behind or this far behind. it really is more acute with new parents. being a new parent you aren't sure where a kid should be per se. you had a couple of kids already you could say little johnny, you know, sammy, is behind. let me -- and so it really hurts. so significant how do you catch

up? you hear about all these other things. we know one of the biggest crisis in the country is childcare in general. how do you get affordable childcare on top of maybe now needing extra help? >> dana: what some of the teachers are saying. a kindergarten teacher said i spent a long time teaching kids to sit skill something i didn't need to do before. another, we are talking 4 and 5-year-old throwing chairs, biting, hitting without the self-regulation. a pre-school teacher says they don't have a muscle strength. everything they're doing at home is screen time. they are just swiping. i don't know if the pandemic can completely be blamed. we have the technological revolution happening now and we see it in ourselves, we're on our phones a lot and kids are, too. >> it is in some ways the ultimate babysitter. you have to be honest about

that. it is like trying to get something done, the kid won't stop, you hand him a phone and they stop. >> sandra: if i could add one thing. having had a nursery school age kid at the start of the pandemic there were people who had the means to get their kids through it, right? the very groups that this administration or previous administrations say they are out to help them. we had this conversation about something else. those pushing for these kids to stay home and stay masked and bubbled were not getting the help at home. mom and dad working two jobs, both parents away. didn't have somebody to help out the kids. those are the ones paying the worst consequences here. >> you are 1,000 percent right. another issue even back then. i voiced it many times and others did as well. it's like the people saying hey, you know, wrap them up, they don't go to this. their kids are far more advanced. even if there were no pandemic,

we already know academically that our country is so far behind that maybe this will be the opportunity to blow the whole thing up and really look at it from a perspective of these kids getting a better education, tougher curriculum and being prepared to compete in this next iteration of society, the fourth industrial revolution. >> dana: it isn't a knock on the moderators there last weeks debate butted indication would have been a great topic. this one in particular. >> a lot of great topics. we are going to do another town hall and this one is going to be really i think a lot of fun. they have all been fun. unstoppable prosperity. we're in the midst just begun the greatest wealth transfer in the history of humankind. two problems with that. a lot of people aren't prepared. the last thing you want we are in a money society. i don't care what everyone says. you invest in products that make

retreated people who said that you were an irresponsible journalist and now you have reporters like in axios, alex thompson writing from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. biden is dependably engaged and events are held in those times. i wanted to give you a chance to defend yourself. you are probably too professional to take an i told you so lap but i might do it for you. >> look, i think what we've seen the last few days is the reporting we did was vindicated. i have to say the story was a very difficult story to write. me and my colleague spent -- we spent months working on it and those months took so long because it was -- we had a very high bar for what we were

willing to report and what my editors were willing to report. we would find things and learn things, go to our editors and they would say look, we need more. we need more. there were many times that my partner and i late at night were trying to figure out how can we meet that bar? we think it is an important story. we want to meet that bar. so we felt that we did. and the story i would encourage everybody to read it carefully. i think some of the criticism of it is unfounded and it relied yes, mostly on republican sources, but there were democrats who were willing to talk to us on background about some of the things that they saw or they were hearing about from these meetings that they found disturbing. >> dana: one of the things that i would imagine was on your mind when you decided what you wanted to do with your life is political journalism whether being in politics.

the guys who broke watergate for the "washington post" are great investigative journalists. they could have written this story six months ago but they didn't. here is carl bernstein last night on cnn. >> they are adamant that what we saw the other night, the joe biden we saw, is not a one off. that there have been 15, 20 occasions in the last year and a half when the president has appeared somewhat as he did in that horror show that we witnessed. in the last six months particularly there has been a marked incidence of cognitive decline and physical impairment. >> dana: now we know what you reported was actually the best kept secret in washington. >> indeed, it really was. it is hard reporting to do, you know. often in washington we're reporting about a policy that is

controversial or a comment that was behind closed doors that was controversial or what somebody is planning to do next or not planning to do next. focusing on the president's mental decline was one of the hardest things i've ever had to write about. we did it, you know, with a lot of sobriety and it wasn't a joyful reporting experience in any way, shape or form. the white house pushback, we expected that. i think what was a little bit more surprising was some of the larger skepticism of the story from the broader world. >> dana: i can tell that you take your job seriously and tried to do that with great care. when i was press secretary i would always make the staff person at the white house complaining about a story read it twice before i'm going to call the reporter and complain about it and to do it with care. thank you for coming on and i look forward to whatever you will report on next. thank you.
