>> todd: we are awaiting comments from president biden and president abbas. he will travel to saudi arabia today for meeting with the king and crown prince. you are watching "fox and friends first," i'm todd piro. >> carley: i'm carley shimkus. oil is a major focus for the meeting with the saudi royal family. he will face another test when he tries to smooth over relations with palestine.

>> we just saw the president's motorcade arrive at the palace. this meeting is after president biden assured the alliance will remain strong and continues to support a two-state solution while saying he does not believe this is something likely to happen in the short term. we are awaiting remarks in bethlehem. the president visited a palestinian run hospital in east jerusalem. here is what he said there. >> president biden: i continue to believe that diplomacy is the best way to achieve this outcome and we'll continue to work with israel to counter other threats with iran throughout the region including support for terrorism, ballistic missiles and proliferation to -- hezbollah.

>> diplomacy will not stop me, only thing that will stop iran is knowing if they continue to develop their nuclear program, the free world will use force. >> they are talking about his meeting with the prime minister of israel where the discussion centered on denuclearization of israel. president biden has long been trying to revive iran nuclear deal. we are awaiting this discussion from the president right now as he's meeting with the palestinian president. earlier today he was at a hospital there and says he would like to see equal access for care for palestinians and did rally around the effort of that hospital for trying to do so and announced initiatives and humanitarian support including contributions to support them, effort to reduce food

insecurities, providing critical services for refugees and improving access there. >> todd: later today president biden will meet with saudi arabia -- the king will not be present. all of this to convince the kingdom of saudi arabia to pump more oil. how tough will this be? >> todd, the hard thing, unclear how much impact the president's visit will have on the saudi side, decisions are made by gaging the global market and sorting out what is best for them and strategically for them. for president biden, the meeting is politically risky, comes three years after the president called saudi arabia a pariah and said they will pay for the death of jamal khashoggi. here is what he had to say.

>> president biden: i always bring up human rights, but my decision on jamal khashoggi has been clear, if anyone doesn't understand it in saudi arabia or anywhere else, they haven't been around for a while. >> it will be a key moment to watch, his body language, he said prior to the trip he was taking covid precaution, maybe this was excuse, maybe it wasn't, he did shake hands in israel. >> carley: thank you. a rabbi, senior advisor to donald trump's advisor to israel offered advice to president biden during his trip abroad. take a listen to what he had to say. >> what does joe biden need to do when he goes to saudi arabia, he needs to change what leverage the united states of america has, what are his goals and needs to be directed at that. when i filled up my gas this morning it was $5.40, saudis are not going to pump more energy

when they know we can produce our own energy at home. >> carley: breaking news yesterday, ivana trump, ex-wife of former president trump has died toeksz chlt >> todd: ivana trump has died at the age of 73. first wife to former president donald trump who announced her death on true social with glowing tribute to the mother of his three oldest children saying she was a wonderful, beautiful, amazing woman. her pride and joy were her three children. she was so proud of them as we were all so proud of her. her daughter ivanka saying heartbroken by the passing of my mother, mom was brilliant, charming, passionate and brilliantly funny. i will keep

her memory alive always. eric trump writes, our mother was an incredible mother, back in 2017, "fox and friends" co-host sat down with ivana in her apartment and spoke out about her partnership with her former husband. >> me and donald are great team, he was visionary, he would go to bank, get the money, he would throw it at me and i was managing it, i was building it and running it so we were like a very good team. >> she had valuable advice for women who might follow in her footsteps. >> you have to go and set yourself a goal and try to achieve it as close to your goal you set for yourself and then you have to love what you do and know what you are good at. you have to hold your own. you cannot be dependent totally

on your husband. >> reports from last night saying first responders received calls to her address for potential card i can't go arrest. she was born in the czech republic and made a life here in the united states, where she embraced the american dream. back to you guys. >> carley: an icon in more ways than one. later in the show, lara trump will join us to discuss her mother-in-law's life and legacy. >> todd: report detailing unforeseen problems with push for green energy. how solar panels could be damaging the environment and how the golden state is in a lot of trouble. cake victim of armed robbery spree survives a shot through the mouth somehow. >> the shot hit here and out my cheek. first thing i said, i knew i

wasn't dead, thank god i'm alive. >> carley: god bless that man. we'll be talking to him and his family coming up next.

so i didn't get a good look at him and all of a sudden, he lifted the gun and shot. this is a result of it. >> carley: my gosh, so then russell, you call your wife, georgeann. you pick up your phone and what does he say to you? >> he says nothing to me. >> for me, honey. >> i'm sorry. >> i answer the phone and i say hello, i knew it was him. he said, honey, i've been shot and he sounded like he had a number of balls in his mouth or something. excuse me. i said, what, what do you mean you've been shot, what do you mean? he said, honey, i've been shot. i sat up and said my god, why are you, what happened? he said, it is okay, honey, if i

die, i know where i'm going. i went oh, my god and i didn't know what to think and then the police officer took the phone and she said, this is the police, she said, your husband has been shot in the face and that just kind of -- i think i went into shock. i just said to her, shot in the face? what does that mean? i said, where is the bullet? she said, we think it went through and through, i didn't know what that meant at the time, but she said -- is he okay, is he going to live? she said we're going to get him to the hospital, they'll contact you, you can't come here. >> carley: through and through means it went through russell's cheek, he was lucky because it could have gone through his brain and this would be entirely

different interview. brandon, you obviously love your father very much, how are you feeling right now? >> you know, relieved that he's here with us. but sad that others aren't so lucky. i love my dad and i'm here to support him and take care of him and do whatever i can to help his recovery, but this whole thing has been absolutely terrible. it's hard to wrap your mind around. >> carley: yeah, russell, the man who shot you and the store clerk at the 7-eleven, the store clerk lived, by the way, he is suspected in a string of 7-eleven robberies where two others died. are you surprised to have such a violent crime impact you and

your family, the area that you live? >> oh, yes, i was shocked at what was happening. i had not the slightest clue he went in. i was in my car, ready to take off and the reason i didn't leave, he was going, i just felt i would have been safer just staying there instead of trying to get out of there and going out of the driveway, i would be going right toward him. i don't know, i just thought me staying still was the best thing to do. >> carley: and georgeanne, before we let you go, have police found the suspect? what is your message to him? >> no, they have not found him. i talked to the detective today and my message to him and like my son said, our heart is broken

for the people that lost the ones, too much crime in this country. i asked the detective, will you guys let us know, my message to him is we're angry and we're in shock, but we want to have mercy for him. i want to have mercy for him. i want him to get help. i don't want him to hurt or kill anybody else. i pray they find him. we thank god our husband is alive, but others are mourning death of their loved ones, but for him, i'm trying hard to have mercy and praying for him and praying he gets help. >> carley: you're good people. brandon has set up a gofundme. visit help russell recover on gofundme to help support you in your recovery efforts with

cartel. the fake pills are meant to have the same look, color, shape and size of real prescription drugs like oxycodone. 728 migrant deaths happened, up 53% from the year before. >> carley: ice's budget is short and expected to run out of money unless the u.s. pulls funding from other programs, including the coast guard. benny martinez is here to react. sheriff, great to see you. regarding record number of deaths at the border, how much money do you think the cartels are making off the fact people are dying along the way and what are you seeing on a day-to-day basis as relates to this? >> good morning. they are making millions of dollars, that is what they are there for, to make money, themselves and anyone that wants to acyst them.

the cost is a dead body, we have 63 for the month currently, the year. we need to be quite aware of that, we're not paying attention to the issues. >> todd: sheriff joe biden says his border policy is compassionate. where is the compassion in all those deaths? >> there is no compassion, i don't understand that. frustrates me, they are just words, uttering words that don't mean a lot at the end of the day. i get calls from family members that lost loved ones and they just -- they are right there. it is not so. we have 994 square miles we need to search and without any type of positive location, we're not going to get there and they tend to use more ngo's for

information gathers. we're here to assist we can't do it without getting coordination so we can find the bodies. >> carley: what is the conversation like in your community as relates to illegal immigration? are people stunned or is it normal life at this point? >> you know, going back to 2009, we have always recovered bodies, it is almost the norm, another body. the underlying issue is the fact they are humans and we need to be cognizant of that and it is not happening, almost like out of sight, out of mind scenario, it is daily occurrence and there are times we can pick up three bodies in one day. >> todd: fox news reporting liberal group lands $171 million

contract that could reach 1 billion to help illegal immigrants avoid deportation. biden can find money for this group, but cannot for ice apparently. i understand we want to help kids, but why give our taxpayer dollars to a group that wantss to defund police and works with progressive prosecutors to hurt our system, sheriff? >> well, that's -- they for us to become lawless and that is what is occurring right now. they are trying to defund the police and minimize us from enforcing laws that are in place and that is a sad issue, not only for texas, but for america. >> carley: sheriff benny martinez, thank you for joining us. >> thank you. >> carley: you're welcome. senator elizabeth warren

juris prudence. >> to attack him and attribute it to him not regarding his skin color. skin color racism is divisive and race baiting. to be told -- >> professor lourie, and dr. king supported justice thomas saying white fro aggressives do not have the moral authority to excommunicate a black man from his race because they disagree with him. seems logical. more bad inflation news and "new york times" is warning this will cost come the midterm. >> carley: we are awaiting president biden's remarks, alongside the palestinian leader. it is unclear if biden will take questions this morning, if he

does, you better be on his list. >> mr. president, do you want to call on the next question? >> sure. i was given a list here. >> carley: joe concha here to react, that is coming up. dad, when is the future? um, oh wow. um, the future is, uh, what's ahead of us. i don't get it. yeah. maybe this will help. so now we're in the present. and now... we're in the future. the all-electric chevy bolt euv with available super cruise™ for hands-free driving. - dad. - yeah? do fish get thirsty? eh. find new answers. find new roads. chevrolet.

>> carley: president biden is about to make a joint statement with the palestinian president mahmoud abbas after a bilateral meeting with the two leaders. it is unclear if the president will take questions, he is expected to in saudi arabia. during yesterday's meeting, the president had to recall his list of reporters after being nudged to ask a question at his press conference with the president of israel. >> mr. president, do you want to call on the next question? >> president biden: sure. i was given a list here. >> todd: joe concha here with his reaction to this latest list of reporters. joe, what is going on? >> joe: todd, we've seen this movie over and over and over again, back to the campaign where joe biden does this whole, they gave me a list of reporters

to call on thing over and over. you would think someone halfway confident would pull him to the side and say please stop giving that information about giving you a list. it just inspires zero confidence to see i guess still the leader of the free world act this way on a world stage where he looks surprised when he was asked, do you want to start taking questions and b, get out my list who was preapproved by my staff. many americans, even democrats shake their head and say, how did we get here? >> carley: hand holding on the world stage and yesterday i think a lot of people went oh, come on, you are right income to the leader in the middle east,

got to rise to the occasion. white house is assessing karine jean-pierre. one white house reporter told fox news digital is the frustration is karine jean-pierre is by the book and that means unless your questions have some preprepared response in that book, you are probably not going to get anything new out of her. here are some examples of what they're talking about. >> when are you going to admit you were wrong about inflation? >> no easy questions today. i refer you to the team about that. we don't have anything clearly at this time. i don't have anything to read out. weingly not pay attention to polls and will not talk about alleged material from the laptop. >> takes a specific type of person to do this successfully, a lot of reporters are saying

going to press briefings are a waste of time. s >> joe: i agree, it is one of the hardest jobs in any administration, particularly one where the boss is polling at 33% approval, you have to defend the indefensible. jen psaki could think on her feet. she was condescending issue but could talk without notes. karine jean-pierre, the worst in the era. we've seen, she reads directly from notes oftentimes providing answers to questions that were not asked, she went to what was preprepared for her. you have to think on your feet and she can't do that. it is as if you put teddy ruxpin in there. >> todd: that is two teddy's in

the span of a day. "new york times" warning in headline, democrats face deepen eg peril as republican feeds on inflation fears. we've been talking for months now, welcome to the party nyc, what are your thoughts, joe? >> joe: that was a "die hard" reference. the number one issue for voters for basically the past 10 months, when peter doocy asked the president about his concern for rising inflation. he called him a stupid son of a female dog, it is a morning show, keep it g rated for carley. there is a real possibility we could look at 10% inflation going into the fall. it is hard to see how democrats could overcome that elephant on steroids.

♪ >> this morning we are laundering the life and legacy of ivana trump died at the age of 73. known as a successful business woman and fixture of the new york social scene. she was the first of president donald trump and mother of ivanka, donald and acre eric. >> carley: here who share for about ivana's incredible life. thank you for coming on. we are so sorry for your loss. your husband eric posted this on instagram. i thought it was such a beautiful tribute. he said our mother was an incredible woman. force in business. radiant beauty mother and friend. ivana trump was a survivor. she fled from communism and embraced this country.

she taught by compassion and determination. she will be missed by mother and three children and 10 grandchildren. lara, how are you doing this morning? how is eric, his siblings, the rest of the family? and what would you like to share about your mother-in-law? >> well, thank you, guys. obviously, a tough day for all of us in the family yesterday. and she was an incredible woman. we will all get through this. unfortunately, so many people who have had to deal with situations like this. and you come together as a family. but, you know, you just read a little bit about her. she grew up behind the iron curtain in communist czechoslovakia and only able to escape because she was a world class skier. she came to america ultimately and no one cherished this country more than she did. she truly appreciated america because she understood how lucky we were to be here. she obviously met my father-in-law in new york city. not only were they partners in

life they were partners in business. she is credited with restoring glory to places like the plaza hotel. she managed the casinos and hotels in atlantic city. was obviously an incredible business woman. but i can tell you that the title and the role that she cherished most was that of mom to my husband, to my brother-in-law and sister-in-law and, you know, she was a tough love type of mom. she made sure they had great manners, and she took, i think, how she grew up in czechoslovakia and ininstilled it in them. a lot of people note that about my husband and his siblings that they were very strong individuals. loot of people think that's because they have a tough dad. that's part of it. they also had an incredibly tough mom. you look on to how inspirational she was for women after her divorce from my father-in-law and so many women up until her death really looked at her as a pillar of strength for women

everywhere, an inspiration, obviously it's a big loss for us as a family. but, just a true loss everywhere, i think, for women. because some women looked up to her. >> todd: as you look back upon her life, is there a favorite memory that stands out to you? >> well, she was incredibly funny and witty, and no one could tell a joke quite like she could. and so i have incredible memories of some lunches that my husband and i had with her in new york and, it's incredible because everywhere she went, everyone knew her from the weight staff to the managers of the restaurant to, you know, the busboys at these restaurants because she was so kind and thoughtful everywhere she went. and she always seemed to make people smile and laugh. i think if you talk to people that lived in her neighborhood. they would tell you that she was always kind and thoughtful. and interacted with everyone. and so i obviously have greats memories of that. memo riffs her with my children who unfortunately won't get to know her as they grow up.

but, you know, we will cherish those memories forever for sure. >> carley: we just showed a picture. we showed it of you, ivana and your son in a stroller when he was little. what was it like meeting her for the first time. i know when i met my in-law's for the first time when i was dating my husband. it's a little scary because you want to make a good impression. when you are meeting the trump family for the first time, that must be something else entirely. >> yeah. no, that is true. it's always nerve-wracking to meet who might be your future in-law's when their names are donald trump and ivana trump. i can tell you it is a whole different ballgame. i knew her and i had such incredible respect for her before i met her. so, obviously, i was very nervous. but, again, her whit and her charm and her general character and sensibility really did put me at ease and, you know, she welcomed me into this family with such open arms. any daughter-in-law would be lucky to have felt the love that she showed me.

so, definitely nerve-racking beforehand but i was very happy afterwards to have met her when it happened. >> todd: you mention the people that interact with her. i find in the time of somebody's passing. it is those stories of how one interacted with the people arranged them that always stand out. how they treated other people. and it sounds, based upon what you are saying she was one of those people that just treated all the people around her with such grace and kindness as they couldn't help but love her. >> yeah. it's so true. and that is a true testament to one's character. after all, and i can tell you new york city will never be the sage without ivana trump, you know, not only was she known in her neighborhood, she was known throughout the city. she was incredible satellite. she would be seen everywhere from fashion shows to, you know, openings on broadway and it is a true loss. she will be truly missed. but i think those who will miss her the most, aside from her family are the people in her neighborhood there. will.

>> carley: donald trump released a statement about this on truth social announcing the sad news to those who loved her and he said there were many. thank you so much for joining us. she is smiling down at the touching tribute that you gave her this morning. we know that for sure. lara trump god bliss and your family in this tough time. >> thank you. >> todd: with that very busy day continues on the channel. "fox & friends" begins right now. have a great weekend. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ the power the glory ♪ forever and ever ♪ will glory. >> brian: i believe that will be the very stage, which is located about 100 yards from where we are currently located, only we are indoors and that's outdoors. this is the start or the continuation of the american summer concert series.
