diversity, with fe they are stuck with rich white straight. steve: thank you so much judge gjudge jeanine pirro is biden and house speaker kevin mccarthy will meet today to try to hammer out a deal on the debt ceiling, after multiple meetings with no results. you are watching "fox and friends first," i'm todd piro. >> ashley: i'm ashley strohmier in for carley shimkus. america could default on it's debt early as next week. explosion of spending during the pandemic sent the rate to a 40-year high.

now congress' failure to reel in post-pandemic spending is forcing the central bank to tighten credit, choke spending and heighten risk of recession. in reality, this is not debate about spending, but who is going to do the spe spending. >> todd: alexandria hoff has more. >> alexandria: june 1 is the day the treasury secretary janet yellen has given for when it is debt limit must be resolved, if not, world implications would follow. today president biden and kevin mccarthy will meet after what was called a productive phone call last night. >> i just finished a phone call with the president, he's flying

back on air force one. we're talking about his trip there and positive things that took place and spent time talking about the debt ceiling and where we are and i believe it was a productive phone call. we can solve some problems if he understands what we're looking at. we have to spend less money. >> alexandria: the president arrived back from washington. in japan, president biden held his first solo press conference since november of last year. peter doocy asked about a statement that the president had done his part in negotiationings and here is how the president responded. >> president biden: on the merits, i would be blame lsz, on the politics, no one would be blameless. there are some maga republicans in the house who know the damage that it would do to the economy and because i am president and

president is responsible for everything, biden would take the blame and that is one way to make sure biden is not re-elected. >> alexandria: the president is saying some republicans want casta strophic default for political gain, republicans say, no, it is about spending. >> all joe biden is doing is trying to find every nickel from every couch from every american to pay for his radical spending. the president has been jacking up spending and now wants republicans to accept that new baseline. >> what they want, not to pay interest on the debts, they want to pay the $6 trillion in other government spending. >> alexandria: the timeline, say a deal was made tomorrow, we could be looking past the june 1 deadline. ashley and todd. >> todd: thank you, bring in house oversight committee james comers comer, that timeline alex

was detailing was in an article on fox news by chad pergram. what is your confidence level heading into what has to be by all accounts the most important week so far in the negotiation. >> it is the most important week and it is unfortunate joe biden wait third degree long, this is an example of his lack of leadership. i don't know what he was expecting would happen. republicans passed a bill in a timely manner and the senate democrats and president did nothing, they waited and waiting and we're past the deadline we needed to have presented a bill in a timely manner. remember, house republicans want to give everyone an opportunity to do the unthinkable and give everyone opportunity to read the

bill. so the media can know what is in the bill, that is called called transparency. joe biden is used to coming up with something at the last minutes, we will not budge on spending cuts. somebody has to be the adult in the room and i'm proud in presenting a fiscally responsible bill, that is what the american people want and the american taxpayers want. >> ashley: there is a glimmer of hope, there is a meeting set, that is more than there was before. let's hope a deal with be made with the interest of the people in mind. talk about spending, president biden is back in the u.s. after announcing 375 million in military assistance for ukraine and support training ukrainian pilots on modern aircraft, including f-16s.

here is a soundbite from sul sullivan, listen. >> will deliver everything ukraine needs, we have done that and can look forward to the long-term capacity of ukraine to be able to defend itself and deter russ ian aggression. >> ashley: previously biden said he was not giving zelenskyy f-16s and he hasn't specified one way or the other, he's just backtracked on it. what does this signify to you? >> as someone leading the influence pedalling investigation, it is difficult to listen to jake sullivan and joe biden continue to send american taxpayer dollars to ukraine unchecked. joe biden has been meeting with world leaders, if he wanted to be the lead i r /* /* -- leader

of the free world, it would be like when iraq invaded kuwait. we are footing the bill for ukraine. the conflict of interest the biden family has with ukraine is unimaginable, but aside from that, talking about trying to pass a fiscally responsible budget and joe biden continues to give ukraine a blank check and i understand that f-16 would help, but look at the end of the day, what is in the best interest of the american people and again, i believe that joe biden should have exhibited leadership on the world stage and tried to make our countries in europe have more skin in the game. right now the united states is footing the majority of this bill and i don't think that is what the american people would expect from the president. if you ask the american people,

are you willing to sacrifice cuts to social security and medicare to pay for this war in ukraine, majority of americans say no. >> todd: for a war that is in europe's backyard, you wonder why it seems like we continuously are sending money for an endless war. the combination of those two is most concerning. get your thoughts on this, speaker mccarthy talked to fbi wray and mccarthy says he thinks the fbi will hand over the document that implicates president biden in a criminal scheme. listen to this. >> i want to be clear with the fbi director, congress has a right and we have the jurisdiction to oversee the fbi, this is one piece of paper that a chairman of the committee asked to see. i explained to the director, we will do everything in our power and have jurisdiction over the

fbi, we have a right to see this document. after this call, i believe we will get this document. >> todd: do you agree with the speaker? will you get the document you have asked for? >> i believe we will. we want more than the document. we want to know what exactly the fbi did to investigate this allegation. we're very confident this document exists. we want to know what the fbi concluded with respect to this investigation because the reason we're so concerned about this is because this fits a pattern of what we've seen in romania and other countries around the world, where the president, then vice president, flew into a country, took an unusually active role in foreign policy in this particular country, was the lead person on foreign aid in this particular country and all of a sudden, his family members start getting wires from foreign

nationals from these countries through various llc's and show companies the biden family created thchl is one of the most serious sac accusations levelled in the history of our country. for the fbi to act like, we don't know, just trust us. this allegation happened a long time ago and the fbi has done nothing. we want to know exactly what they did, we want the file and want to know what action they took. speaker mccarthy called me after his conversation with fbi director wray. i appreciate the speaker. he's leading on this issue. he's working with republicans on the house oversight committee, i have more confidence we're going to get form 23 because of the work speaker mccarthy is doing. >> ashley: that's a positive note. hope you get it, that would move the investigation even further

along than it has been. we have to talk about this and we've talked about this on the show, about how the media cannot ignore this any longer. op ed in "washington post" says millions flow to biden family members, don't pretend is doesn't matter. do you think because of your investigation that moved this needle with the media? >> absolutely. absolutely, there is no question. look at the polling and right now donald trump is seven points ahead of joe biden and trending upward. i believe the media is being looing around and scratching their head and realizing the american people are keeping up with the investigation and realize something is wrong here. it is not normal for the president of the united states to -- children and grandchildren and in-laws and nieces and nephews to receive wires from phone nationals and we've proved

this happened while joe biden was vice president of the united states and never been reported. american people are keeping up with what we're doing and the american people do not want to see public corruption. they connect congress to investigate and you are seeing more and more mainstream media outlets recognize the american people are keeping up with this and joe biden needs to answer questions and do it now. >> todd: that begs the question, are they doing their job they should have been doing and going along with what you are putting out there or is this an attempt to get rid of joe biden and put somebody else in there. that is a question i have when there is anything negative from pro joe biden media, remains to be seen. >> ashley: i thought the same thing, they look ridiculous ignoring this. congressman comer, thank you for being with us. >> todd: keep up the fight

regardless. >> ashley: "fox and friends first" fox news alert, daniel penny's case could be heard today, he faces manslaughter charges in connection with jordan neely's death. >> todd: anita vogel joins us live. in first interview given to the "new york post," daniel penny says the case has nothing to do with race and if someone needed help in the future, he would step up again. these are first public comments penny made since the choke hold killing of jordan neely. penny, a former marine sergeant maintains this incident was different from what he experienced before. he said, this has nothing to do with race, i judge a person based on their character, i am not a white susprem supremacist,

i am a normal guy. jordan neely's family says daniel penny choked jordan neely to death, we never called him a white supremacist, we called him a killer. we want to know why he didn't let go of the choke hold until he was dead. jordan neely's uncle said, he needs to be prosecuted or he will do this again. he has too much confidence and has to be taught what he did was wrong. as far as daniel penny's, if this case goes to trial, prosecutors could use daniel penny's military experience against him. >> prosecutors could say he chose to disregard it, usual manslaughter two case is somebody waving around a gun or knife, where risk is obvious.

this is choke hold, not as obvious. penny was released on bail after he was charged with machine. >> todd: his legal defense fund, second highest in the history of that site, if this does go to trial, it will be number one, people are resonating with this case. thank you. more violence on the subway, one woman shoved and a man slashed in the face, both suspects are still on the loose. christina lee's family -- was stabbed to death after a homeless man followed her home and slipped into her apartment behind here. the lawsuit claims the officers failed to enter her home and get medical attention for every an

hour and claims the city failed to control dangerous conditions in her "the neighborhood." the suspected,a tacker had lengthy rap sheet and was indicted in march for first-degree murder and naacp is calling an attack on black americans, the civil rights group blaming ron desantis policies writing under the leadership of desantis, the state of florida has been hostile to black americans. it cited law that governor desantis approved last week banning colleges from spending public funds on diversity, equity and inclusion efforts. desantis shut down claims calling it a joke, the advisory comes ahead of the governor's anticipated 2024 presidential bid this week. >> ashley: south carolina senator tim scott is expected to announce his bid for the white

house today after filing official paperwork on friday and has a powerful endorsement from the senate second highest ranking republican john thune, who is joining a primary field with candidates like former president donald trump and fellow south carolina republican nikki haley. >> nikki haley is a really good person, i really respect her and appreciate the service she's given to the state and country, my goal is to run my campaign and focus on issues of restoring hope and creating opportunities and protecting america and focus on financial literacy and education and make sure the american dream is alive and well for the next generation of americans. >> ashley: scott has spents on ads, in iowa and new hampshire, both he will visit this week. kellyanne conway says trump

stands to benefit from a crowded primary field, watch. >> the more the merrier is probably donald trump's anthem right now. he's front-runner beating ron desantis, competition benefits him because he loves competition and benefits him because there are now 17 winner-take-all primary states on the republican side, there were seven in 2016. >> interesting. >> todd: that is interesting note, look at the numbers, trump is running away so far and winner-take-all will benefit him. >> ashley: yoga studio being sued for million of for blocking a transgender woman from using the women's locker room. this attorney says this will become the norm for businesses, look at the laws in place. >> todd: plus, ashley strohmier, did you see this? >> the fairytale story.

>> ashley: a transgender woman suing a manhattan yoga studio for $5 million after being asked to exit the women's locker room and use the men's facilities. >> todd: the lawsuit says female patrons yelled about the plaintiff's presence and use of the bathroom labeled women and demanded the plaintiff leave. plaintiff suffered shame, humiliation and frustration. ron collins coleman joins us.

>> reading the strict letter of the case, this person has a case. >> ashley: a witness in the locker room says we have several trans women and several trans men and never been a problem, it is this individual. that was from a witness. what does it show you, there is other lawsuits this individual head? what does that signify? >> that is significant, if someone is letigus, if that person likes to bring lawsuit to vindicate that person's rights that is in and of itself significant from common sense standpoint that something is going on. something is going on anyway in

their lives. >> todd: you said this person could have a case. if i'm a business and getting slammed in 2020 with covid restrictions and now inflation, how do i run a business when now i need to anticipate a new area of the law and if i don't do it by the book and letter of the law, i can get sued? >> there is going to have to be decisions made. either decisions are made in the new york legislature, state legislature because one claim is under the state human rights law or the city council because three of the claims are under the city human rights law, or made by a judge. what makes this case a little different, under strict letter of the law it might apair this person has a claim. whether it is $5 million claim, is a question. at a certain point, there will

have to be a judge somewhere, whether in new york city, is a serious question, who will say there is shame issue here, legitimacy issue. not every person who claims to be a woman and wants in the woman's locker room should be allowed to do so, that is an issue. >> ashley: you said lawsuits like this will become more normal. why? >> there is nothing normal going on here. >> ashley: more prevalent, i should say. >> why because as you guys put it, it is a $5 million lawsuit. unless and until lawyers are able to get the message a certain category of lawyers like to bring lawsuits like this, that they're not going to get the money they are looking for. there is no $5 million recovery here, i can assure you.

new york is very comfortable writing large checks for political reasons. this is not going to be one of them, not a $5 million case. unless and until a judge somewhere says this is not what the human rights law was meant to protect and as you point out, this person seems to have a habit of looking for this kind of trouble. >> todd: you would think that having a single gender bathroom would be the end of it. in the allegation in the case, this individual said they were screamed at when using single-sex locker room, if reading that correctly. doesn't single gender bathroom make all lawsuits potentially mute? >> well, there was obviously a reason the people in the locker room were screaming at this individual. some point, there is going to

have to be pushback from women. >> ashley: yep. i've been saying that. what point are the women's outcries going to take precedence, too. this is yes oerr no response, t business is being sued, do the women affected have any legal standpoint? >> that's a great question, if you read the pleadings, you would have the impression the lawsuit is against the women screaming. they are the most offended and naked people, they are the one whose dignity is being impifrjed on, there is no case against them and strictly speaking, if a lawyer like this wanted to bring a claim against those people, it could be brought. two claims are in the nature of aiding and abetting these sort

win for you guys, although i'm not sure it was supposed to happen in the first place when it comes to the constitution. i feel like tim's first amendment rights were violated. what does this win mean for you guys? >> well, it is important and shows you can beat these people back when you insist on your rights and stand up for them. the state just gave up after we filed arguing they violated his first amendment rights. the factual record here doesn't support a conviction, we will drop the case. we wanted them to say this violates rights, do not do this again. we need arizona state to change policies to make sure you can exercise free speech rights without worrying about getting

arrested or having a criminal record. it might be necessary, if they don't change policy to go back to court and get that decision-making arizona state do the right thing from now on. >> ashley: have you notified them of that and told them that is what you are wanting? >> we have told them and if they don't do it, there will be a lawsuit arizona state won't be able to make go away and a court is asked to rule on constitutionality of this. >> ashley: the school says you were not arrested for handing out the constitution issue but individuals who do not have -- reservable. the majority of campus space is not reservable and individuals are welcome to walk around and hand out literature. what did you make of that? >> well, really just university

bureaucrats deciding to name a policy because they didn't agree with what i was handing out, they will make up any policy and throw in your face if they don't agree with what you are handing out or saying on campus. >> ashley: what about students who want to speak up, live you have and so many people we have spoken to on the program. when they see stuff like this, it has to scare them a little bit there were charges brought against you. what would you say if they are scared to speak up? >> i think you shouldn't be afraid. fight for what you believe in, don't let any bureaucrat or anyone in university bureaucrats tell you that you cannot believe or stand up for what you want to believe in. >> ashley: good words of wisdom, tim tizon and jacob hubert, thank you for your time.

>> todd: new polls revealing how 2024 is shaping up in the rust belt states with former president trump leading president biden by seven points in a hypothetical match up. if the race was between donald trump and ron desantis, ron desantis tops the former president by four points. bring in the panel.

great to have you both here. norine, why is trump crushing everybody in the rust belt states? >> i don't know if you remember when he was in the white house, let's say our country was a different place to live. the american dream has been lost by sending jobs overseas, inflation numbers and factors that trump brought to light and improved to make this country a place that we actually want to be proud of again and so many reasons why i think we are all yearning for better days and reality is when trump was in charge better days were here. it is no surprise to me that those poll numbers are what they are and i expect regardless of who the candidate ends up being, i expect we will see numbers go through the roof on the republican side.

>> todd: interesting, because as i mentioned when desantis is nominee, he loses to biden by five points, why if people are hungry for change, why isn't desantis, before he declared, cracking the same threshold that trump is? >> im00 not quite sure, i think trump actually has a candidate in 2016, spoke to the people and resonated. whether you liked him or didn't like him, he had something to i saare if the country to bring us forward and the reason why desantis doesn't have the numbers now, maybe he doesn't have the same charisma, anything next to joe biden is a win for the republicans. >> todd: to follow-up mayor josephine, economy and inflation are the two most important issues facing the country.

do you get the sense biden's economy could cost him re-election? >> biden's economy is going to cost him the election. this is the worst since the '70s. this feels worse. it was scary then, it is much scarier now. we need somebody to fix the economy and bring us forward and at this point, anybody's game and it definitely not biden's. >> todd: new -- entrant in this game whchl it comes to illegal immigrantses, people are not very happy with the president and these numbers bear that out. 60% of voters think not tough enough. what do rust belt voters think

when they see us doing everything to accommodate the migrants and nothing to accommodate the american citizen? >> i mean, it is terrible. look at the whole situation in new york. they're bringing immigrants in by bus loads and housing them in city school gyms while the kids are going to school. in missouri, you can't even volunteer at school without having a background check and they are living in the gym with one bathroom. i mean, that is crazy. >> todd: and all this leads to just a general sense as to is our country safe and secure? and norine, half of voters disapprove of joe biden's performance when it comes to national security. do you feel safe in joe biden's america? >> 100% no.

i can promise you that our biggest and what used to be best cities, specifically those run by liberal mayors or governors, we've got major problems in the cities now with violence and crime and the list goes on. law and order is not this guy's priority, let's be honest about that. as our previous guest mentioned, there is no doubt pouring illegal immigrants across the border is not helping our country to be secure or safer by the minute. we've got major messes on our hands here. >> todd: roseanne, what does the ultimate winner in 2024 need to do to turn this country around and who will the winner be? >> bring god back, the bible. everything. abortion thing is terrible.

close the border. trying to make us a socialist country, need to get rid of it. >> todd: who do you think the winner is going to be? >> i hope it's trump. >> todd: we will see. got a long way to go, november 2024 is a long way away, we'll be talking about it between then and now. thank you for getting up, we appreciate it. manhattan grand jury hearing case against daniel penny as soon as today in the subway choke hold death of jordan neely. >> ashley: penny is speaking out for the first time, we'll tell you what he is saying and bring you the very latest on the case.
