what they have. they have blown the chance to explain this to the american people that would show that this is unbiased. look, i think the american people are justified in being suspicious and demanding the fair application of the law. >> carley: attorney general more to come on this with "fox & friends." thank you so much. it starts right now. ♪ >> our country is in decline. >> donald trump told his millions of followers on truth social that he was going to be indicted. >> is this some kind of sick joke on the american people. >> i'm an innocent man. we will prove that again. >> where's the money? that's a bunch of that larky. >> joe biden and hunter biden were paid $10 million in bribes by ukraine. >> the prosecutor is not fired you're not getting the money. >> there is corroboration of a big guy being involved here. >> i'm proposing a 28th amendment. >> gavin newsom, he is taking aim at the constitution. >> outright ban on the assault rifle. >> he is not going to get an

the white house had no advanced notice that the miami grand jury would be handing down this indictment. once again, we don't know exactly what the charges are because the filing remains sealed. source seven counts included one charge under the espionage act. obstruction of justice. destruction or falseification of records plus conspiracy and false statements. the former president and top g.o.p. contender announced the indictment himself yesterday, 5dadding this. >> there is election interference at the highest level. never been anything like what's happened i'm an innocent man and innocent person. warfare for the law. we can't let it happen. we can't let it happen. our country is going to hell, and they come after donald trump, weaponizing the justice department, weaponing the fbi. >> the indictment was filed by special counsel jack smith and is the result of a long legal

battle over government documents seized from the former president's mardi gras r rnt residence last year. trump's willingness to hand over all files is what separates documents retained by president biden and former vice president mike pence. republicans say legal team both say that the justice department here has been weaponized. >> for the president to be indicted for something that shows what a sick world we are living. in i'm petrified are for the country at the moment, jesse. >> first ever to face federal criminal charges. steve, ainsley, brian? >> steve: right, alex an degree a, thanks very much. according to maggie haberman donald trump's phone rang at 7:00. he was at bedminster golf course out in new jersey. he was in that pool side cottage that he lives. in one of his lawyers was on the phone and said the federal

government is about to indict you by 7:21, he grabbed the narrative and went on truth social and he broke the news of his own indictment. the indictment had been expected they had statements and videos lined up. fundraising pitches lined up. in fact go to his website and donate to his defense. >> ainsley: do you know what's crazy, when you look at these charges retention of national defense information which is violation of the espionage act 20 years. conspiracy to obstruct justice 0 years. withhold ago document a record 20 years. the list goes on, 20, 25, 5. that's 110 years that he could be behind bars for having 15 boxes taken from mar-a-lago: allegedly containing it classified. correspondents of trump and heads of state including a letter from obama, a letter from kim jong un, a birthday menu, a cocktail napkin. does anyone really care?

does anybody care that joe biden had boxes in his garage? really, i don't know what was in there. didn't give them back. the vice president gave them back. he gave them back or they went and took them and took them out of mar-a-lago. now they have them. so what? he is not distributing them. is he not releasing them to magazine. >> steve: obstruction e. destruction. >> ainsley: shouldn't have classified information from the white house is he not the only one who did it. only one being charged and could face 100 years behind bars. 100-plus years. they are all back in the hands of the government. i don't understand why is this that big about of a deal. >> brian: they feel as though there is obstruction. is it obstruction when he walks in and said and saw the meeting going on and put his head in and said guys, anything you need, let me know. you can have anything you want. then they end up bringing in the pool boy, getting details on a flood at the pool. trying -- they made his lawyer testify against him. which is almost unheard of. so, the documents that they are talking about can be seen in

full view. he was still president when you see a bunch of guys in blue blazers pick up cardboard boxes and put them on a helicopter that's really not the typical way in which documents are stolen. 100 classified documents with classified markings, we don't know to what level. kim jong un letter, understood. couple things come to mind. if you are gonna do this, at the same time put a special prosecutor on trump put a special prosecutor on biden. if you have to have equal intensity on all of this. 1200 boxes out of delaware? we know the documents, couple of classified documents in his house? he didn't turn them in. they were discovered in his house as a senator and maybe a vice president. and then we have the situation where he has got a place rented out in chinatown. he has got joe biden's got another place at his lawyer's in the boston. >> ainsley: doubling standard.

>> brian: so if you want to indict this guy indict that guy. and when you say obstruction. is it obstruction to hold on to documents for 30 years and not even find them. you found them because somebody -- ainsley: are they each going to pardon each other? >> brian: this is going to be the ongoing investigation of biden and all of a sudden we have a court date tuesday for trump. >> steve: jonathan turley was on our air last night. and he, keep in mind, it's a seven-count indictment. we don't know exactly what the charges are jonathan turley said posed a question will they charge him with possession of classified documents? because, if they do it would not to judge and charge joe biden. if they don't charge him on that case, the case will be about obstruction which you face 75 years in prison. and it involves conspiracy which obviously a conspiracy is between at that time least two people. and they have had months and we have been reading things that perhaps a number of the people close to him have flipped and

have told the story about what actually happened. >> ainsley: what's the difference in charges. one is a violations mean nawj act having documents you shouldn't have. >> steve: we don't know what any of the charges are. >> ainsley: so what would be on destruction of justice having them. >> steve: cover up. keep in mind with watergate, there was an original crime but then it wasn't the crime. it was the cover-up and that is what ended the presidency. >> ainsley: if they charge. >> steve: of richard nixon. >> ainsley: we have got charges for biden. charges for trump. they are both going to be on the campaign trail and the courtroom? >> steve: yesterday we had chris christie on and he said this was completely self-inflicted because the government asked him to voluntarily turn the documents effort to national archives for over a year and a quarter, and he didn't turn them all over. so they wound one a search warrant. they found more. you know, and ultimately. >> brian: they raided. >> steve: you knowingly kept things, that is bad for him. apparently, during the investigation, the federal government discovered the boxes

were with papers were moved out of the mail storage room, after the subpoena, and then moved back into the storage room the day before the feds actually went in. and so it looks like they were trying to keep the secrets from the government. >> brian: according to all the leaks of jack smith's investigation. >> steve: we don't know where the leak came from, brian, but it's a significant charge. >> brian: why do we believe it? >> steve: i believe it. >> brian: we don't know where they came from. we don't know if any of it is true. a flood in the pool room and they had to move the stuff out. >> ainsley: why did they take the stuff out of the white house. >> brian: no archive system. here is mark levin last night. evidence went off. >> there would be no obstruction issue of any kind, not in anybodiens imagination had they not criminalized this case. this is a document case. a document case. president of the united states, a former president faces 100 years in federal prison? is this some kind of a sick joke on the american people joe biden

says he never told them what to do. joe biden had to sign off on becoming a national archives case to have it go to the department of justice. who does he think he is lying to? the american people? this is a guy that's got comments from the time he was in the u.s. senate, for god's sakes, in his garage. i don't want to hear from the legal analysts the technicalities about false statements and obstruction. this should have never been a criminal case. willful retention of documents. >> brian: bring in jim trusty former federal prosecutor. one of donald trump's attorneys. can i just make a recommendation that you put mark levin on your defense team, jim, because he is obviously fired up why you ied

that meeting and what took place. >> can i do the first part the second part gets trickier. good morning. and, look, thanks for having me on why came can as we this investigation. no reason on god's green's earth that anyone should trust the information bubbling up from the special counsel's office to the attorney general. under the special counsel statute, it's still the attorney general that controls the ultimate decisions here. it's not jack smith, well, what we have run into through the course of trying to have meetings is an attorney general that's hiding behind jack smith, pretending that he is not the ultimate decisionmaker and what we want told do is say, look, we have uncovered significant misconduct. substantive defenses that are fantastic. mark levin could rattle them off better than me. the presidential records act means this entire thing is not in a criminal setting. that's a statutory scheme about document retention and relinquishing to archives that has no criminal penalty the idea

you could be doing armed raids and criminal subpoenas is ludicrous much less where we are crossing the rubicon criminalizing and charging and indicting ha president and presidential contender. there's a lot that's wrong on the merits of these potential charges or what seems to be the indictment. but the flip side. even before you get to that, is the misconduct. just very quick, guys, the one part of this which i think just astronomically damaging for the investigation orally in the case when they wanted to put pressure on a man to cooperate against donald trump. they literally extorted his lawyer. they brought the lawyer to main justice. six doj prosecutors sat there one of them being a central figure to it and said if you really want that judgeship of yours to work out. you better flip this guy against the president. i mean, that, to me. >> brian: who is this. >> is a shocking difference in doj. >> brian: who are the names?

>> the names are out there, believe me. i don't want to fuel the fire where my friend the attorney gets endless phone calls. it's out there. the story is out there. it's a legitimate story. the lawyer is well-respected in washington, d.c. he has submitted a statement to a sealed proceeding in washington, d.c., i can't get into the substance of the hearing hurry up and get the indictment out knowing one of the documents for jack smith living roomily extorted to get against the president. i was a prosecutor 27 years. never seen anything remotely like this. they literally obstruct justice to try to say to say president trump was obstructing justice. >> steve: jim, sounds like tuesday, noon in the afternoon on miami on tuesday is when the former pet is going to surrender himself. that's when we will learn what the charges are specifically.

it's a 7-count indictment. there have been stories sir circulating in addition to what ainsley talked about about some of the documents that the national archives did retrieve. also, there were foreign countries, nuclear capability documents about iran's missile program, pages about u.s. intel in china as well. as chris christie said on this show the former president knew they wanted them back and he kept them for over a year and a quarter can you explain why he kept that stuff? >> the way the presidential records regime works. and this was all stuff put into place after nixon, no big surprise. >> steve: right. >> national archives record administration should work together. the statutory scheme is exhorting them. please work together.

everyone knows it takes months or years. there is a letter from the obama foundation in 2018 to nara to the archivists saying we have a bunch of classified records out here in illinois. we will give them back to you eventually and it will be expensive to move them. we will give you $3.3 million big question about what is going on there. again, no criminal referral. no concern white house as mark levin was talking about suddenly steered to the criminal division or criminal -- you know to doj. and so you are left with a situation where for every other president in history, there's a process of cooperation, a deference to the president to make that first cut is something presidential or is it personal? bill clinton had numerous recordings in his sock drawer. and basically said i'm going to call this stuff personal. and there's deference to that the doj stood there in court in washington, d.c. and said hey, he gets to make the call. and if it takes years, if nara gets frustrated guess what their

remedy is, a cill suit. here we have a complete weaponization of something that's never been criminal in history. and it's a process that frankly is expected to take a long time. and last thing on that, steve, president trump turned over 15 boxes of materials sight unseen to the archivist in january of 2022. there was no subpoena or force of law. he said, let them have that stuff. that's where this whole thing started. he was cooperating. >> steve: because there were classified documents in there and they go hey, wait a minute. if they got classified documents in this box, there could be more. and that's how we got to where we are. >> yeah. they wanted their nose under the tent. they wanted an excuse to raid mar-a-lago. they used that as one. there was recent testimony in front of comer's committee in front of nara every single president from reagan on has had materials commingled like that when they return stuff to the archivists. none of this is a surprise to the actual people at archives.

but they have turned it into a political weapon to sideline a candidate. >> ainsley: mark levin is right it's a document case. another trial coming up in new york with alvin bragg. this guy is going to be in and out of the courtroom while he is on the campaign trail. and america looks at this as a document case, just ridiculous. and other people are doing the same thing. other presidents have done the same thing. it happened to be on the exact same day that house oversight committee got to look at that 1023 form that basically alleges -- it's being told that that's proof that there was an exchange of $5 million from this oil company in ukraine in exchange for policy when joe biden was vice president. is that coincidence that this happened on the same day? >> yeah. it doesn't feel like it. i mean, look, i think there is -- apparently all investigations go to delaware to die. we get radio silence out of the rob herr appointment of special counsel while everything plays out in the "new york times" and "the washington post." so i don't think it's a

coincidence. they had some sort of timetable in mind where they would refuse to even consider outrageous misconduct by their prosecutors. they had to charge ford. and so maybe it's that. maybe more stuff to drop. maybe we will see a really soft plea agreement for hunter biden where they say nothing to see here. this department is unrecognizable from the decades i have spent around criminal justice and i don't put much past them at this point. >> brian: why are they not in a rush to investigate joe biden's documents? >> right. well, you would have to talk to the attorney general who doesn't really say a whole lot except he is really, really transparent. look, he has 1850 boxes at the university of delaware. and, you know, the public report something don't worry that's been looked at. not true. the fbi got a sampling. that's all they have been able to look at. there is a lot it look at those boxes there. >> ainsley: did joe biden know about this indictment? he says he didn't. you all knew it was coming. we heard rumors it was coming. he said he didn't know until it happened. >> look, that's consistent with

the ridiculous kind of implausible didn't the attorney general has been trying to have. yeah, there's no way these guys didn't know exactly what was coming. >> steve: we are almost out of satellite time with you. but you have actually talked to the former president since the indictment. what's his mood? >> he is upset. i mean, look, a lot of times you have a client where they have done something wrong. the indictment comes and they say hey, you know, i kind of knew this was coming. that was the game. there is almost a sense of expectation. when you are innocent, it's a very different conversation. and this president is innocent. this is the same old stuff from the last seven years. so difficult conversation. he is upset but he also very quickly pivots to being concerned what it means for this country and i share that concern. it's not just about this case. it's where we are going as a country where can you weaponize doj and these guys are so comfortable if the ends justify the means. it's absurd. that's where we are. >> brian: best move he could do is let you be the lead attorney.

>> steve: with mark levin. >> brian: jim, thank you so much. >> there you go not that order though. >> ainsley: nancy mace said this just secured trump's nomination for 2024. >> brian: and she is not the biggest trumper. coming up, it's become far too common will.

corrupting seem to conceal five years. false statements and representations are that's five years. that's 110 years. mark levin is calling this a document trial or a document case and is appalled by. this matthew whitaker served as the acting attorney general under president trump and he joins us now. good morning to you. >> hey, good morning, ainsley. good to be with you. >> ainsley: good to have you on. what is your reaction to all of this? >> i mean, i'm sad for our country. i think we have crossed the rubicon in, you know, a continuing weaponization of the department of justice. and it's just -- you know, i look at this case. and i compare it, i think jim trusty did a good job comparing it to several other cases from former presidents. i just can't understand why they would do this now against donald trump except to, you know, really try to put their thumb on the scale.

>> this is the third straight election the department of justice is attempting to interfere in, and i just think it's inconsistent with our american traditions. >> ainsley: i don't think they are going to stop either. they had the stormy daniels case in new york that goes to trial in march. then there is mar-a-lago, which we are just seeing. also january 6th we're being told about and also georgia. what does the next year look like for donald trump. >> running for president. in my experience preparing for trial is a lot of work. to say prepare for 1, 2, or possibly three trials is going to be a tremendous amount of effort. and i think judges, i would expect, are going to have some sympathy for the fact that he is a declared presidential candidate. he is also the frontrunner. in all polls not only does he win the republican nomination but in most polling right now he beats joe biden head to head. so, you know, i think a judge is probably going to give him a lot of leniency to prepare for these various trials knowing.

they are human beings like we all are. they are going to know that these other matters are pending. i don't know right now if any of these trials happen in 2024. if they do, it's going to be a very delicate dance to make sure that they don't interfere, that this legal process doesn't interfere with his constitutional rights, you know, not only free speech but also the fact that he is candidate for president. >> ainsley: matt, what did he do that was more severe than his vice president, who also had classified documents and that was turned back over to the government. or joe biden, who was found with many more classified documents, or many more boxes in different locations? what did he do that's more severe? and if you take politics out of this, how severe is this? i mean, is this just about documents? should we care about this? >> i think those other cases you point out both the pence case and biden case actually are more serious because, you know, there is going to be an argument in case that donald trump declassified these documents that he is being accused of

illegally possessing. and trying to hide and ultimately, you know, the bailiffs of this case. you know, i think what is really at the core of this case is you have a weaponized and politicized department of justice that thinks it's their job to help joe biden win a presidential election. i think it's a dark day in american history. i think the rule of law is under assault. >> ainsley: if it's true the pool boy might have moved something or told something or to hide things. or donald trump moved things out when they came to search and then put them back in. if all of that is true. hillary clinton was smashing using bleach bit, smashing her blackberries with hammers. what's the difference? >> well, i mean, what hillary clinton did was worse. she had a private email server that was housed in her bathroom at her house in chappaqua. the hillary clinton case if that was not going to be prosecuted i don't know how you prosecute donald trump. >> ainsley: all right. thank you so much.

matthew whitaker thank you for coming on. >> good to see you. >> ainsley: good to see you too. hand it over to carley for headlines. >> carley: we will start now with a fox weather wildfire alert. toxic smoke from hundreds of wildfires burning across canada is now making its way to the south and parts of the midwest. more cities all the way to the carolinas facing air quality alerts for that same yellow haze that tainted the air across the east coast. this is a live look at new york city. the skyline still hazy. things do look much better than the last two days. officials claim the worst is over for the northeast after several days of heavy smoke which prompted stay at home warnings. listen to this: johnson & johnson covid-19 vaccine being pulled off the market by the fda. this move comes after 19 million americans have already gotten the one shot j and j jab. the fda decision follows concerns after people who got the shot suffered rare blood clots from anywhere product. the product was in the pause on

>> every time, it's the same. they tell us we can't stop these masters and the thoughts and prayers are the best we can do. i'm here to say that's a lie. >> steve: okay that guy right there, california governor gavin newsom is now proposing a 28th amendment to the u.s. constitution. implementing what he calls common sense gun safety measures including raising the federal minimum age to buy a firearm to 21. mandating universal background checks. implementing a waiting period for gun purchases. and a ban on so-called assault weapons. here with reaction is eric pratt, eric is the senior vice

president of gun owners of america. eric, good morning to you. >> good morning. thanks for having me. >> steve: well, what do you think about the governor's suggestions about changing the constitution? >> well, it's no surprise what he is doing. california already leads the nation when it comes to court, cancelculture. now he wants to cancel the second amendment. the also has every ailment. every single country restriction is he advocating and more is already law in california. in fact, they have the strictest gun control in the country yet, the fbi, california leads the nation in active shooters. so how is all that gun control working for them? they lead the nation in mass shootings. that's why we know his proposals will fail miserably when it comes to controlling crime because criminals don't obey gun laws. so, hey, the governor wants to make this a political fight. gun owners of america will fight

him tooth and nail to prevent him from exporting california to the rest of the country. >> steve: and, eric, you just touched on the key word and it was political. as we look at that guy right there, the governor of california, you know he is looking to the future he sees himself in the white house some day. >> oh, he absolutely does. he is taking shots at texas. he claims california is safer than texas, which has fewer gun laws. the governor is cherry picking his data. he doesn't compare his state to florida which not only has lower violent crime rates every year. florida also has less gun control and even has constitutional carry. so, of course newsom would rather compare his state to texas. even that doesn't help him because texas has had a lower violent crime rate for four out of the last five years. so what does newsom do? he wants you to only focus on the one year that favors his state. look, don't trust newsom to give you the truth or to protect your

god-given rights. >> steve: eric, he has got to do something. because the federal courts have delivered a series of victories for gun right activists and people like you. >> well, and i think that's out of frustration why is he advocating this amendment which directly clashes with the second amendment. thankfully the second amendment says our rights shall not be infringed. and brewen decision has really helped apply that. so, out of frustration, yeah, they want to throw in another amendment that will open the door to all kinds of gun restrictions, which the criminals will never follow. >> steve: mr. pratt, thank you very much for starting your friday with us here at "fox & friends." >> pleasure to do it. thank you, steve. >> steve: great to have you. all right. it is friday morning. what's the day look like and weekend look like? let's check with senior meteorologist janice dean for fox weather forecast. she is live from the belmont park with the belmont stakes tomorrow. janice, the sky is clear.

this is the day we have been waiting for all week here in the new york area. >> hallelujah, steve. the air quality index is dropping by the moment. it's going to be a spectacular weekend. especially for the big race tomorrow and i have kate master son you are the director of the national museum of racing and hall of fame in saratoga gaffe. we have met each other many times. >> we have. >> exciting that tom durkin is going to call the race. >> i think he has been in retirement about a decade. so nice is he coming out for this. >> janice: just for fox. because it's going to be broadcast on fox for the first time. >> correct. >> janice: tell me about this incredible trophy. this is the 50th anniversary of the win of secr second democrat. secretariat.>> cart yea trophy e family of second second democr.

it's been a while since the national museum of race guilty went on tour. a week in kentucky. a week in maryland for the preakness. here belmont for a week. much larger exhibition titled a tremendous machine. go on to hometown in virginia. >> janice: not many triple crown wins. >> only 13 triple crown wins. >> janice: not going to have one this year but we are really excited because we have really good horses. >> it's a great field. the belmont is really, regardless, a test of the champion. it's a mile and a half but it's beautiful here after the belmont park and, you know, it's going to be a great day on saturday. >> janice: it really is steve, as you mentioned, we were worried about the air quality, the smoke from canada really had a lot of people scared, but it's going to be spectacular. okay. the race is going to happen. i promise you that. >> steve: all right. janice, thank you very much. by the way i heard from lucas tomlinson yesterday the belmont is actually older than the

kentucky derby. >> janice: that is correct. 155. >> steve: there you go. ladies, thank you very much. messi miami sending shock waves around the world with mls move. outkick personality charlie arnot on the game changing decision coming up next ♪

>> brian: it's my biggest story of the week soccer legend line messi heading to south florida rejecting a contract in saudi arabia to continue his career in the mls. he is going to be with intermiami. the majority owner david beckham the only man sexier than me on a daily basis. [laughter] >> brian: you are right. i am. one of the greatest soccer players of all time is already sending ticket prices soaring. the cheapest southeast seats to his first game in september are $450. here with more on what it means for the sport and the country from outkick personality herself charly arnolt. >> best set up to a story i have ever heard by the way. >> brian: thank you very much. similar to what was in the prompter. your thoughts about this man, the best player in the world, coming to major league soccer in america? >> i like it. i think it showed he made his decision with his heart over his

head. career 19 years. over $600 million. scored over 800 goals. one of the greatest soccer players of all time. i like this. i feel like it's one of the biggest names to make the crossover to mls. such a big thing for the organization. and you already saw ticket prices have been driven way up through the roof. and i think that there's probably something going on behind the scenes whether it be with his family. maybe they didn't want to make the move to saudi arabia even though it was $1.5 billion paycheck he was looking at. >> brian: charly portion of the apple deal. they will give ownership stake maybe in the miami franchise. >> opportunity to buy in set price later on and also like you said, profit share of apple as well as adidas. it sounds like the a great deal to me. >> brian: only thing i worry about he doesn't speak english. i want to see him to sit down and talk. david beckham learned to speak english with us only with an accent when he came at 32 years old. messi said this had it been a

matter of money i would have gone to arabia and elsewhere. seemed like a plot of money to me. my final decision goes elsewhere and not because of money. the other big story let's keep it in the soccer world. ryan reynolds rexamafc you sought series streaming how he bottom this team. and they became this big hit and they ascended as he put together this great history. got some players. now rex sum played against the u.s. national team for a $1 million prize did you hear what happened? >> i did. rather embarrassing for the women very very clear who these women were. they got completely demolished a great example of why we are making the statements that men have a much stronger biological advantage to women and there shouldn't be transgender athletes permeating the women's world of sports. >> brian: crushed them 12-0.

charly, i 100 percent degree lower division professional team gotcha, i understood. the best women in the world can't stay on the field with a lower division professional men's team and it's just to emphasize with alex morgan and others come out and say i have no problem with transgender men playing. well next time you go up against brazil they have a transgender center midfielder who scores four goals and takes the world cup away. >> you say when you are retired and no longer playing. i'm sure if these women were on the field they had would be getting embarrassed as well and singing a different tune. >> alex morgan at the bag end. maggie rapinoe back end 40 years old. people who make those statements should watch that game. >> i'm just happy there were no men dressed up as women in this one. >> brian: it's going to happen. you no he that. >> eventually. perhaps. nothing against transgender people they shouldn't be competing and destroying women's sports. >> that's what we have been saying all along. we need more feel say it. >> brian: looking at the clock

sadly this is all the time we have. >> happy to be lagoa sitting with the lookalike to david beckham this morning thank you so much for the time. >> brian: very similar, almost eerie, i have less tattoos. 13 seconds as i say goodbye to this hour can i get upstairs to start the next hour. >> of course you are david beckham, let's go. >> brian: of course. second hour of "fox & friends" starts right now. >> i'm an innocent man. we will prove that again. >> former president donald trump indicted by the biden justice. this is a two tiered justice system my client calls it a witch-hunt is he right. >> i always put america first. >> where's the money? that's a bunch of malarkey. >> joe biden and hunter biden were paid $10 million in bribes by ukraine. >> if the prosecutor is not fired, you're not getting the money. >> there is corroboration of a big guy being involved here. >> this is a new water based barrier. >> governor greg abbott unveiled a new tool military grade buoys. >> very difficult to be able to go through these. >> to stop people from entering
