>> todd: fox news alert, republicans are pushing a bill to allow donald trump to move his case to federal court. they argue top leaders are top targets for politically motivated prosecutions. this is "fox and friends first,"

i'm todd piro. >> ashley: i'm ashley strohmier. >> we want to get answers to important questions, we're talking about the guy leading in every single poll, the guy who was former president. we have legislation we are going to bring forward. this has to be moved to federal court. >> ashley: and jose albawas charged for murder by bragg for defending his store and he will testify next week. >> todd: brooke singman joins us. >> brooke: rustle fry is proposing no more prosecution act, allowing former presidents and vice presidents to move out of local court to federal court, claiming local courts are more likely to make politically charged rulings.

alvin bragg's alleged overreach of authority. embattled bodega clerk jose albawill testify after he was charged with murder for stabbing a career criminal in self-defense when he was violently attacked in his store. the case was dropped after public outcry. jim jordan was sued by alvin bragg over his subpoena and oversight of trump's hush money case is questioning connections between trump's prosecution and the biden administration's department of justice. listen. >> we actually want to know, too, was there any involvement with the biden justice department and white house how this worked out. i think alvin bragg is obstructing our investigation, our constitutional duty to do over dollar the sight. >> ashley: former president trump is suing his former lawyer michael cohen for $500 million

for breach of attorney- client relationship. trump says michael cohen made false statements about him and claims the statements have been made for self-serving ends and with malicious intent. trump will be back in new york today to testify with new york state attorney general leticia james. >> ashley: let me make this clear, what happened to trump was not right, whether you like or hate trump, it was a bad day for america. if one good thing comes out of this possibly, maybe, just maybe, with that bill that will move through, we would know how to go forward with something like this. todd and i talked before, we have no idea where to go because it has never happened before. >> brooke: exactly, totally unprecedented, to have a former

president be arrested and arraigned and booked. he was booked, like a criminal, which many claim he is a criminal and charged with these 34 felony counts, but you are innocent until proven guilty not guilty until proven innocence in the united states. it really is unprecedented. >> ashley: more felonies than bragg has ever put forward in his career in new york. >> todd: interesting stat, more than bernie madoff was charged with. he is going after him, i'm going after donny frommen 82s, no, you are going after him because he was president of the united states and you did not like what he did when he was president. president is federal, this should be federal court. what i love about the new york field hearing, the left will say, it is just a photo opportunity, it is pannedoring,

it is not. criminals run this place and when you fight back like jose albadid, his life was ruined. his life was ruined. >> ashley: right, he was charged with murder for stabbing somebody in self-defense. crime in new york city is on the rise and has been since bragg took over as district attorney. people are arrested and released on bail in five seconds. >> ashley: the cops can't even finish the paperwork before they are out the door. >> brooke: they will highlight this in the hearing next week. >> todd: republican, democrat, black, white, you don't care about what donald trump did, you want to get up, go to bed and not get killed in the middle, what alvin bragg has done to the city is atrocious. >> ashley: thank you. >> todd: florida landlord faces

a tense conversation with squatters on her property, you have to listen to this. >> i have every right to be in the house. >> you do not. >> i do. >> ashley: the free-loading tenants causing $40,000 in damage and the owner says police can't do anything to help. she is here next. choice hotels has a hotel for every type of stay. like a comfort with the kiddos. spacious! that's what they all say. stay twice and get a $50 gift card when you book direct at choicehotels.com. king's hawaiian sliders are ready. great - i invited a few more friends. ♪ thanks, mom. i am groot. nothing brings the galaxy together like king's hawaiian. see guardians of the galaxy: vol 3. in theaters may 5th.

>> ashley: the gulf coast is under a flash flood warning with a strong storm system expected to batter florida with more tropical downpours. fort lauderdale airport shut down, heavy rain and floods could be life-threatening. >> todd: people at the airport say flooding blocked the exits. the airport will remain closed until at least noon today. janice dean has the forecast. >> janice: more rain in the forecast. that area of low pressure is bringing in tropical moisture, like a tropical storm. it is not named, not a depression, but bringing heavy rain in a short period of time. there is fort lauderdale, miami area, we have flood alerts through this evening and we are

expecting more rain in the area. half inch to inch on top of flooding rain over the last 12 hours will cause problems. be aware. rainfall year to date, got a foot of rain in the region. average is seven inches, we're over 18 right now with the latest storm system. watching future track further out in time, area of low pressure moves inland, potential for heavy rain and toward the southeast through tomorrow. we will be watching for the threat of flash flooding and could see stronger thunderstorms, as well, there is severe storm threat for parts of the southeast toward miami, florida, that could include tornados. tornados risk from south florida to alabama and mississippi and then in toward the southeast. thursday, friday and saturday, the big deal we've been talking about is extreme heat getting up

toward 90-degree temperature mark in new york city. 83 in raleigh. you see the cold front toward northern plains and rockies, we're expecting snow out there. much of the country enjoying summertime heat. 90 in florida would be a record high, stretching across northern plains and great lakes, bridgeport, 84. pennsylvania soaring to the upper 80s. then back to reality this weekend. >> ashley: i like the 9 90s, i guess i'm weird. >> todd: a landlord talking to a group of squatters and she wants them out. >> your police report states this is under investigation, we don't have to leave anything until the police come back and tell us. >> i have every right to be in the house. >> i do.

>> you do not, according to the lease, me and my girlfriend own the house. >> you know you can't do anything. >> your mother is a -- >> you can leave? >> you must want me to take this and break your phone. give me this. >> todd: wow, patty peoples is the jacksonville landlord. patty, what goes through your mind when you get a reception like that in your own home? >> first of all, it is terrifying and second of all, it is incredibly frustrateing and feelings of unfairness, squatter rights versus landlord rights create feelings of not having any empowerment in the situation. >> todd: how the heck were squatters able to get away with this? >> knowledge. and working the current legal

system. they are repetitive squatters. they left a prior house, evicted from that and walked into our home. after they were evicted from our home, we found a receipt identical to what they should shown us and they were moving into another home. the police do not have any right with the way current laws are written to arrest these individuals for breaking and entering. squatter rights fall in civil court and therein lies the problem. >> todd: they show a false lease, not a real lease. cops can't do anything about it, 20-day minimum process to convict. they have 20 days to stay in the home rent free, nothing anybody can do about it and many times that 20 days extends to 30, 40,

50. am i right on this? >> you have summarized it. additionally, we as property owners have no right to enter a home when a squatter is there because they will not give us permission and they have a right to privacy. we were also unable to even enter the home and see what the damage was or how they were stewarding this stolen property. >> todd: you bought this house as rental property to help fund your retirement, patty, are you done after this experience? >> i am indeed. i am not done trying to speak about this issue. this is really an imbalance between tenants rights under which squatters fall and they should not and landlord rights and this issue bridges both sides of the aisle, neither

democratic nor republican, we need to protect tenant rights from overzealous landlords. a squatter is not a tenant. a squatter is committing a criminal act and this is a message that needs to be heard by our legislature. >> todd: when will these folks be out of there? >> well, the squatters are out of our house and we're commencing today on the long process of repair. at that point, we will need to relist the house and hope for a sale. >> todd: unreal. patti peeples, what a system when people can steal your home for a time. we got to change the law. thank you. to this, a missouri judge ordering two teachers to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees because they didn't want to take mandatory

morning. brook, tell us why you pushed back on this training in the first place? >> the training was a mandatory training and it had us agree to stating that not only stating, but taking action that america is systemically racist, that if we believe in a color blind america that we are white supremacists. it felt there was no hope and the wheels had come off the bus of what our job as educators was. >> ashley: was this new training? >> the training had started a little bit the previous year, nothing to this extent, so this was district-wide, every person in the district from the bus driver to cafeteria worker to

the custodial crew, teachers, every single person had to undergo this lengthy training. >> ashley: that's insane. i'm no lawyer, but when i saw that the judge orders the teachers to pay $313,000, what would be the point of that, isn't that excessive? >> it is absolutely excessive, this is a first amendment case, our clientses were required to attest to ideas they do not believe in. they believe america should be color blind, they believe they should not have to look at the color of student's skin. they only asked for $1, they wanted the judge to find it unconstitutional. he ruled for the school district and ordered them to pay half million in attorney fees.

the intent is to scare parents and teachers from bringing a lawsuit again. >> ashley: sit and take it, they do not want anybody pushing back on anything they have to say. brooke, do you think this violated your constitutional rights? >> absolutely, because i was not allowed to speak my own opinion. if i did, i would be told i was wrong or called racist. had to locate myself on the oppression matrix and i automatically fell into the racist california based on my skin being white. if you tried to speak up, you were told you were wrong. if you didn't attend the training, you potentially had your pay docked, did not receive credit. i was worried i would be written

up or fired. >> ashley: brooke, did you sign off on this? did you lose your job, what happened with this? >> i have been very blessed. i still have my job, it is a job i love to do. i've been an educator for 20 years. i've worked with students with disabilities, i was blessed to have a legal team that came in, they are amazing and could help me. at this time, i still have my job and i hope i can keep it, i love getting to make a difference in kid's lives. >> ashley: did they make you take the mandatory training? >> they did. there was no option out and so our only recourse was a lawsuit on the first amendment case. they compelled our speech, we

had to state what they wanted us to state. >> ashley: horrible your rights were violated like that and then make you pay $300,000 insane. thank you for your time this morning. we appreciate it. >> thank you for having me. >> of course. >> ashley: breaking this morning, we have brand-new information about the person allegedly behind the massive pentagon intelligence leak. >> todd: none of the information came from the biden administration, it came from someone who told the "washington post" he saw the documents firsthand is a friend of the person.

pro-russian is false, he is not interested in helping any foreign agency with attack on the u.s. or other countries. >> lucas: more documents have been discovered, this time showing in-fighting between russia federal security service accusing obhave you skating in ukraine. after lawmakers called for more accountability for billions of american weapons and ammunitions that poured into ukraine, john kirby acknowledged the following. >> there is a small u.s. military presence at the embassy in conjunction with the defense office to help us work on accountability of the material going in and out of ukraine. united states will not have troops fighting this war in ukraine. >> lucas: american authorities appear closer to catching this person.

hewitt says this should be the top issue. >> the fbi should stop wasting resources on investigating documents at mike pence, joe biden and donald trump's house and find people in the pentagon compromising america's national security. there is a priority imbalance here. >> lucas: each day brings more revelations, here is the latest. defense intelligence agency does not believe the war in ukraine will end this year. >> todd: thank you. bring in fox news contributor sara carter. you heard hugh hewitt say that fbi should have this as a top priority. somehow the "washington post" is able to write the lengthiest story in history of stories yet our intel is like we don't have the guy and he can continue putting out this damaging information. how is this happening, sara? >> well, i think this is

fascinating because the "washington post" also had a 16-year-old source on this. they did get permission from the mother. they were all on the gaming system, they met on discord, this server and were becoming a close, tight-knit group. there were more than the 16 year old. the fbi should have tentacles gathering this information and they may already have. what is fascinating about the stories and the fact you talk about it being so lengthy, it was so detailed. these documents show a lot and expose a lot of tactics, techeck 92s, procedures inside the intelligence community and that is highly detrimental to the united states temperature is dangerous to our intelligence apparatus overseas whether

collecting data for us or us getting documents, intercepting those documents with technology. now the rusians and egyptians and turkish and everybody involved in the collection of that data by the united states, are now sifting through everything to make sure they shut off whatever leaks they have in their government, going from moscow to istanbul. this is a dangerous leak. i do not believe, by reading the "washington post," which was very well written, i do not believe this person was actually like an edward snowden trying to get information to the russians, but they leaked the documents online. think about servers, you could go back to hillary clinton servers and people saying they could intercept documents, this is how easy it is for documents

to be intercepted and the fbi failed here and the military, for that matter. they should have been able to see the documents were being leaked. why were the documents not flagged in the system when moved from point a to point b, that is a huge question reporters need to be asking. how come these documents were not flagged, here is fbi investigating parents in loudoun county for possibly being domestic terrorists or going to catholic church at latin masses, so i'm interested why they were not able, why the russia desk fell so far behind on this and why are dia, defense intelligence agency and probably the cia is compromised because of the leaks. we could be losing so much in the future. >> todd: you use the keyword

dangerous, american lives are on the line. people could die because of this, this is like an active shooter situation that went on for months, they should have caught this guy and put this down. ash. >> ashley: you hope and pray to god the biden administration knows what is going on and just a matter of time before an arrest is made so this can stop. sara, we have to get to this. migrants swarming the border crossing between el paso and the mexican border of juarez and forced cbp to temporarily shut it down, listen to this. >> we heard they will let vene venezuelans in. if they have a valid asylum process, they can enter the united states. we're waiting for more information, here they say this is false and we have to go back. i've been in this journey and i haven't been able to access it.

>> ashley: my question is where is mayorkas. >> right, he's not there, he's retired on the job. according to border patrol agents and officials in the dhs that i've spoken to. it is disheartening to see that. i spend so much time at the border and to watch the flood gates open and see the people pouring into our country and our dhs and border patrol, in particular, and immigration and custom enforcement officers do not have enough resources to keep up with the flood of people coming in. the human traffickers are making hundreds of billions off moving people, even more than the movement of narcotics, this is all due to biden's chaos, his lawlessness at the border. these policies opened flood gate

in mexico, central america and across the globe. we see people coming from as far away as china. think about all of the children and people being trafficked that are also being harmed by this, sold into modern-day slavery and the fentanyl that is killing americans and it is just one problem on top of the other. that is why i wrote, joining the amazing club, awesome sauce for kids and parents. this is a tough topic to talk to even my children about and i wanted to join brave books. let's write about the border in such a way it is palatable for children so that we can tell them a story about why rules are important and go back to the basics, the basics that protect our country and would protect the people that you see in that video struggling to come in here. >> todd: they are not getting

>> todd: former obama stenographer mike mccormack is here. you say you are witness to a crime, tell us why you say that. >> so in april 2014, i was on air force two with joe biden and jake sullivan. at the time, no one knew hunter biden was on the board of burisma. joe biden is directing jake sullivan what to say to the press. my job as steno grapher on the plane is to record what official says to the press. i'm sitting with a tape recorder. jake sullivan comes back and somebody asked him about fracking. his answer, we are bringing american assistance over for

fracking. burisma was direct beneficiary of that fracking and that is what i recorded and that is in a white house transcript. in the transcript, you don't know who jake sullivan is, it is senior administration official. i am the witness who says jake sullivan said it and he should be investigated because at the time hunter biden was on the board of burisma and joe biden is bringing american taxpayer money to enrich that company and himself and his family. >> todd: let me throw in dates here. hunter biden joins burisma april 18th, 2014. you have that conversation april 21st, 2014, outlining how they would help with hunter's help. in december of that year, congress approves $50 million to support ukraine's energy sector. ashley. >> ashley: my biggest question, you said the fbi has been

ignoring you, it is no secret people don't have faith in the fbi. what did you tell them and what did they say back to you? >> that's a great question, ashley. i came across this story back in october. i published it in my sub-stack, i didn't hear much about it. in february, i went to the fbi and filed one of their tips on their website. if you do that and you're lying to them, you go to jail. i am not lying, i'm telling the truth and i'm not going to jail. joe biden is a criminal, he was conducting malfeasance, jake sullivan is a conspirrator and there are more involved why it, i believe. >> todd: you are willing to go under oath you are certain this was a kickback scheme that joe biden was orchestrating, correct? >> correct. there is a grand jury right now

in wilmington, delaware, seated for three years, with a special prosecutor named david weiss, if he can't have me explaining what i know, it is fraudulent use to cover for barack obama and joe biden's crimes while in office. >> ashley: with everything you said, do you think by you testifying, this would change the narrative and frankly a lot of us have, we have thought this for a long time, we have always said it is not necessarily hunter biden, it is joe biden's ties to business dealings. do you think it will change this story? >> if i testified in front of a grand jury, two things can happen. i have experience with grand juries, i used to be a stenographer and i did transcription for lewinsky grand

jury, that far with stenographers. one, what i say is evidence, my testimony is evidence i can point to other witnesses, i would tell them to have barack obama called in as a witness because he is part of conspiracy. he is an ex-president, he has to answer who was in charge of putting joe biden into this role. did barack obama know about it? there is evidence i've seen in my sub-stack on april 16th, two days before hunter joins, joe biden is with hunter in the west wing, they have a meeting and later that day in the evening, joe biden spends a day in the limousine in the back of barack obama's limousine in western pennsylvania. >> todd: we reach out to the white house for a statement, did

not hear back. something tells me we have not heard the end of your story, keep us posted. labor shortages forcing american companies to hire workers from outside the country on top of the movement to devalue the dollar. bad for the u.s., we'll ask kevin kevin o'leary kevin o'leary how to turn it around. >> ashley: first steve will tell us what is coming up. >> steve: coming up on "fox and friends," chris sununu will take on esg, why he's discouraging his state from making investments, that is esg i just mentioned and most americans are turning away from getting married and not having kids, not duffy's, rachel and sean share their history. and by the way, we think we have

asked if i was going to oea ply, well, obviously destiny was calling. you see, i have a long history with rats. >> todd: i do love how adams is laughing in that thing. put up the job listing looking for a candidate who has, quote: a virulent vehemence for investor men. killer instinct to fight the real enemy rats and somewhat blood theirs city. >> ashley: this is a story she will be paid more than police officers in new york city. >> todd: to fight the rats. >> toughest car emission rules aims for 67% of all new cars to be electric by 2032. >> comes as a new poll shows nearly half of measures say they are not likely to buy an electric vehicle as their next car. >> kevin o'leary chairman of o'leary ventures has plans to build a new oil refinery in america. people don't want ev dollars and

putting aside the fact that we don't know how the electric grid will handle all of this. this forced demand is going to drive up the cost of the average american, make it impossible for the average american to buy what is now their second most expensive asset. what say you, kevin? >> the way i look at it is very simple. in five years from now will we need more oil or less? in my view, my opinion as an investor, more. in 10 years from now, will the globe need more oil? my answer is more. now, if you are going to use oil for energy independence some way of refining it. we haven't built a new refinery in decades. old technology that aren't necessarily that clean. there is all kinds of new technology that sequesters carbon makes production of diesel of more productive and much cleaner. where you can find this out is just go it china. they just commissioned a $14 billion refinery, so they

have a view that t they want energy independence they have import oil but they have to refine it. i don't know about the issue around eliminating hydrocarbons around our economy. i think that's a fantasy. i think it's admirable but unrealistic. i think what a is a good bipartisan issue is energy independence. and so, you know, i'm looking for something to do. and i think building a refinery is a big monumental task. it won't be easy to do this but i know how to do it. >> ashley: it's going to cost, what, $14 billion? that's what we do in our past time that's what kevin o'leary does in his past time. i love it. i do have to get to this. companies are now outsourcing jobs to foreign countries due to labor shortages. 10% to 20% of labor force jobs could move overseas in the next decade. what happens to america if these companies keep outsourcing these jobs?

>> it's the market being the market. the fact is and, you know, if you go to new york city great place to use as index. about 20% of those office seats that were being sat in pre-pandemic are empty. there is lots of ghost buildings where you have empty floors. that's the reality of the market. most companies global and domestic figured out you can actually outsource jobs and have people working remotely and the people themselves including in new york state they won't want to come into the city. is this is a phenomenon happening all around the world. it's not a big problem. a lot of the jobs that are created here are being donte lower cost and we talked about degloballization. it's not true. what's happening now and even in my companies over 50 of them about 40% of the seats are no longer in headquarters. but the great outcome of this, and i have talked about this for quite a while, is the competition of states. because now you don't have to set up in places where taxes are high, regulations are unstable.

you can move your jobs out of california, out of massachusetts, out of new jersey, out of new york. out of, you know, any state that you feel doesn't make sense. i'm sitting in tennessee right now. we don't have any state tax here. >> todd: my guess is o'leary is not going to move oil refinery to california or new york. maybe texas. we will see. "fox & friends" begins right now. >> ashley: have a good day. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ i want something just like this ♪ ♪ i want something just like this ♪ >> ainsley: good morning, seattle, washington. darker there because they are hours behind us and it's only 6:00 a.m. on the east coast but it's a beautiful picture of an american flag with the city in the background.
