with this: former president donald trump hits back at special counsel jack smith after the justice department unseals a 37-count indictment. pete: the indictment claims trump illegally kept boxes of classified documents at his home in florida. will: alexandria hoff is live in washington with the details. good morning. reporter: good morning. more than just keeping files at his home, prosecutors stated that the former president was showing sensitive documents to people who did not have proper security clearances and kept those files sprawl out in random storage spaces within mar-a-lago. the 37 charges span 7 federal laws that smith if's office has accused trump of breaking including 31 counts of willful retention of national defense information, withholding and concealing documents, making false statements and conspiracy to obstruct justice. individual penalties max out at 20 years per count. special counsel jack smith said
3:03 am
yesterday that his office will seek a speedy trial. >> we have one set of laws in this country, and they apply to to everyone. it's very important for me to note that the defendants in this case must be um presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law. >> reporter: and prosecutors say in july of 2021 the former president is heard on an audio recording showing four people a plan to attack a country and later revealed a classified map related to a military operation. the government alleges he lied to fbi agents after moving boxes at mar-a-lago. trump called this indictment the box hoax and says this about smith, he said: his wife is a trump hater just as he is a trump hater, a deranged psycho that shouldn't be involved in any case having to do with justice. trump does remain the leading gop presidential front-runner and today plans to campaign in georgia and north carolina.
3:04 am
guys? will: thank you for that, alexandria. rachel: thank you, alexandria. [laughter] pete: good morning. rachel: good morning. i think we're all a little -- listen, it's been a huge week, i think a really sad week for our country especially because we keep talking about, you know, democracy and saving democracy, and this has been death of democracy in so many ways. this is the ultimatenyization or government by the party that is in power to take out the next or, you know, to opponent, the leader of the pose toking party who's leading by a lot. greg gutfeld was on his show recently, yesterday i believe, and he said that essentially this is about taking out trump, and it's not going to work. listen. >> i think most people understand this isn't about breaking the law, this is about breaking trump. even the charges are theatric, basically they just choppedded up a candy bar into little
3:05 am
bite-sized snacks. it's meant to exhaust and overwhelm not just trump, but his supporters, right? it's meant to psychologically flood the zone up to the election to keep trump's persuasive abilities at a bay, to keep trump's supporters occupied, to scare away donors, right? >> yep. >> nobody's going the want to give money if they think he's going to go to jail. the problem though with this exhaustion strategy, you think it wears people down, but when you look at trump supporters and trump, it winds them up. >> oh, yeah. >> i don't think the democrats or the media ever understood that concept or the bigger concept, which is always their problem. the concept of going too far. when you're taking their candidate off the stage, do you think they're just going to walk away from that? you're taking their choice of president? 75 million people know what you're doing. it's not about trump, it's about his voters. will you know, in thinking about the nature of these charges versus the existence of these
3:06 am
charges is the way i've begun to organize this in my mind. so the nature of the charges that president trump willfully retained classified documents are somewhat indistinguishable from a host of other people we can talk about whether or not that 's mike pence or joe biden or hillary clinton. now, of course, the other side is going to talk about the severity of the nature of the documents, what's in them, whether or not they represented a threat to national security. i think each and every person listening and watching can make their own judgment on that, but i don't think anyone -- i truly don't think anyone believes there was some type of real threat to the united states of america contained in some box at mar-a-lago. so so the question then becomes the existence of the charges. and that is, why are charges brought against president trump when they were declineed when other people also retained classified documents? joe biden still to this day, i don't believe -- i don't know what has been returned, i don't know what he has. hillary clinton, i don't know -- pete: certainly wasn't a raid.
3:07 am
rachel: no, his lawyer was helping with getting the documents. will: i don't know what was in the e-mails that hillary clinton, you know, were those ever fully turned over as well and combed through i? rachel: they were bleached -- pete: many of them were not found. rachel: never found them. will: so the question is, why were the charges brought. and i do think this is a fair question to ask. had president trump's doj sometime between 2016 and 2020 pursued hillary clinton with charges, what would be the reaction to the country? would it be no one is above the law, or would it be this is a not just political, but fascist act by the president of the united states? pete: of course that's how it would have been characterized. i look at these -- when i look at in this, i can't take any of it at face value because of the -- do you know what i mean? rachel: yes. you're supposed to trust the fbi, and they haven't been telling the truth -- pete: they haven't been going after anybody else for anything with mountains of evidence
3:08 am
existing there, and then today raid a former president's home and show is us photos like this. i don't know what the contents of these photos are. i've been in that ballroom. there are boxes hanging out in the ballroom. is so when were. the photos taken? so as someone who just wants a fair shake, you know that donald trump isn't getting one. rachel: right. pete: you know they focused and targeted him from the beginning. you know they're going to find any way to try to get him. but this is serious, i mean, he's facing 100 years with the charges stacked together. they want to lock up their political opponent. rachel: for life. pete: because a threat to -- he was impeached for a phone call with ukraine when what we actually now know -- rachel: it was true. pete: -- because of whistleblowers that it was true. so he was impeached for looking into the things we now know are true, but they refused to look at, but instead stead they charge him for boxes at mar-a-lago. rachel: and, with by the way,
3:09 am
the e-mails with hillary are interesting that, as you pointed out, will, was never prosecuted for or indicted for. there was concern that she was also doing just like the bidens, a pay for play to fund her, you know, clinton foundation, and there was, you know, obviously all the money dried up when she was not elected president, but there was a lot of exchange. i think that's probably what they were covering up. by the way, or hillary getting away scot-free and yet tweeting and sort of trolling president trump about it. she says bringing this back in light of enrecent news, get a limited edition but her e-mail and support onward together groups to strengthen our democracy, blah, blah, blah. people, of course, seeing this going this is pretty brazen. one guy, ian hawthorne, saying still not president. other -- others, you know, telling her she should shut up. she's basically bragging about
3:10 am
getting away with it. will: she is above the law. she's bragging that she is above the law on the very same issue. pete: by the way, criminals always sort of brag about their crimes at some point. so you've got that. you also have joe biden coming out on the council of foreign relations saying so i fired that prosecutor. when you actually, you can connect the dots of the biden, hunter biden, ukraine case with a crayon. it's so obvious, it's so brazen. especially if we get to see that 1023. that's, to me, i want to see, i want comer to keep going to find out if there is evidence. if there isn't, then fine. but we deserve to see it. rachel: and it's probably not a coincidence that this indictment for trump came out as we -- pete: same day? rachel: -- the same week that finally the committee got to the see that form that connects the dots and says that the foreign country we're thinking about, he could have been having deals with turned out to be, as you said, pete, ukraine and burisma.
3:11 am
and, you know, who knows about all of those things? of course, zelenskyy, his pinsters, the people -- can ministers, the people who are getting $120 billion of foreign aid -- pete: and espionage? if who is he spying -- i mean, so the actual threat to our country is what? it's donald trump. that's what it is. will: pete and i will go off the wall 8:30 a.m. eastern time, we'll go deeper into this and other leaders and bigtime cases. california governor gavin newsom is going to sit down with sean hannity, it's going to air on monday night, ahead of -- dealing with questions whether or not, better said dodging questions about his plans. pete: it'll be interesting. will: in fact, here's a little preview of sean hannity and gavin newsom. >> do you think he's anitively -- cognitively strong enough to be president? >> i have conversations with him all the time, yes. >> you do? >> i'm dead serious about that.
3:12 am
i've talked to him when he's overseas, i've been in air force one, marine one -- >> okay, but you never answered my question directly, how many times does your phone ping you need e to get in this race, they agree with me that he's not up to the -- >> i would say concern. >> it's a fair question. >> i see where you're going. >> i'm asking. >> ask i'm not answering. pete: the shadow campaign continues. rachel: yeah. every time joe biden gets in deeper trouble like this form that you talked about that came out this week talking about ukraine and burisma, suddenly he appears and rei'm a great backu. will: the three of us have asked on this couch why are so many names now in the republican primary field, i think the answer is for the moment we just experienced. whatever, chris christie, mike pence, whatever they may be believing about their chance, i think in anticipation of the indictment that we saw this week, they believe this moment is their chance. we will soon find out whether or not there's any effect on the
3:13 am
are republican primary, but it's interesting to also hear gavin newsom because his chance is somewhere lurking out this, and i think everyone -- including sean hannity who asked that question -- thinks it's lurking. so there is kind of in this shadow belief that the actual race for president won't be biden versus trump, others believe it will be newsom versus whoever. rachel: right. because biden might peter out og to get this trouble, but it's not, it's interesting, pete, because i heard you on tv i think yesterday saying that every candidate for the gop should show up to miami -- pete: i think they should. i the every republican -- rachel: exactly right. pete: -- should be in miami to back donald trump because this is not just about, you know, this is this is about our system. this is about political opponents. and, by the way, republicans are going to be, primary voters are going to be voting for trump because if you don't, you're basically saying, okay, yep, choose our candidate for us.
3:14 am
you pick our candidate. you think this establishment guy should be our nominee? you pick him. there'll be a lot of protest voting. no one else will choose who we put forward -- rachel: so true. pete: i mean, i don't know if think of them will do it -- rachel: what will it tell you if some show up, but the ones who don't -- pete: watch how desantis played the first alvin bragg indictment the wrong way. voters were like, really, you're not going to to back him up? will: he's been different this time. pete: he's been slightly stronger this time. a lot of them haven't been. vivek's been really good. rachel: it'll be interesting. there's a lot of politics. who shows up -- pete: you can't just sit back and go i'm going to benefit politically so just let it happen it's not one of those moments. rachel: it is not. pete: i don't think so. will: fox news alert, four children including a baby found alive 40 days after surviving a
3:15 am
plane crash. pete: locals in the amazon calling it a miracle. rachel: jackie ibanez joins us with the9 latest. >> reporter: this is a wild story, the children were found yesterday in the depths of the amazon after a weeks-long search effort. they were on a flight that left the from a remote southern town on may 1st. it went down due to engine failure, killing all the adults onboard including the pilot, co-pilot and the children's mother. the wreckage you see it there was not found until weeks later, or but happy -- half-eaten fruit sparked a massive manhunt. officials worked on a mission dubbed operation hope. they finally found the children, you can see them right there in the picture. the the kids were dehydrated and covered in bug bites. overnight a colombian army helicopter brought the siblings out of the jungle, they're now being treated at a hospital in

3:33 am
what effect does this have on his ability to run for president? >> i think americans it's ingrained in their dna that when they feel somebody's being picked pd on, they rally behind them. whether it's a 6-year-old kid on a ballfield or donald trump running for president. to his benefit because everybody knows it's the an unequal application of justice. they've been going after this guy for seven years, now they think they've got him and they don't. will: in fact, we have -- the washington examiner points this out, about the idea, the hypothetical of president trump running from prison. it's happened in the past with eugene debs. there stands no barrier to running for president as a convicted felon or even behind a prison cell as ewe mean b -- eugene b. debs did for urging people to avoid the world war i draft. he got a million votes in that election. but, jason, what do you suspect? again, to do you.this will actually increase trump's
3:34 am
popularity on the, in the republican primary? >> well, he's been accused of a lot her in the past and indicted and people rallied behind him. he sucks all the oxygen out of the room. none of the other candidates can get any attention, and i think it, i think he'll do just fine. he's laughing people at this point -- lapping people at this point, so show me some other evidence. these documents compared to what hillary clinton did, compared to what the irs did? there's no compareson. will: meanwhile, this came down, this got bury reed, this is the same day that the house oversight lawmakers were allowed to view a document claiming joe biden received $5 million from ukrainian energy firm in an alleged pay to play scheme. this is sort of to the extent that they have seen it, we'll see when we see it, this is what we have suspected, investigated and here seems to be the evidence that -- and i believe it was burisma, joe biden's family benefited from a pay to play scheme. >> the allegation there a
3:35 am
credible source that the department of justice itself paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for this source and they get to see this document, hours later they come and drop this indictment? the are you kidding me? like, that's a coincidence? no way. they did this on purpose to smother the idea that joe biden has been cred e by -- credibly tied to a bribery scheme, put $10 million into his family's pocket. that should be the headline of "the new york times," but it won't be. will: that's huge. by the way, peeking of joe biden, you have "the puppeteer: the people who control the people who control america." june 13th, it's been released. so who is it? who are the people -- >> we name the names and we follow the dollars. it's not just the bureaucratic state, but it's people like brian deese, susan rice, larry fink, the state treasurers' association. i was surprised by that. they control $2.5 trillion. you've got to look at what the department of justice does to

rachel: the supreme court set to make a major ruling on affirmative action in the coming months. justices will decide on two cases which could potentially enrace-based admissions practices. half of americans say race and ethnicity should not be consider in the college admission process. meanwhile, at least nine states have banned the practice for public universities. our next guest argues that so-called race-conscious admission policies discriminate against asian-american students and the court must intervene is calling it a civil rights
3:41 am
violation. boston globe contributor alex shay will attend brown university in the fall, and he joins us now. alec, welcome. you -- alex, you must have known when you applied for college that there is an affirmative action game, so were you expecting to get into all of these schools despite your high scores? >> i i mean, no. i think i was surprised and happy to get into brown. obviously, i'm very grateful that i have an opportunity to go to brown which is an ivy league school, but at the same time, i had to be conscious knowing that the deck is stacked against kids that look like me because of affirmative action which basically is a system which sort of discriminates against asian-american kids because university administrators don't think that we're questioners enough for -- diverse enough for their schools. they think we only like math, no personality, and and they don't think we can contribute to a diverse student body. so instead they have the consider our race as sort of a way to take away from that. and somehow i managed to get into brown, so i'm happy about that.
3:42 am
but i think on behalf of all of my fellow students regardless of race, i don't think that that they should be judged on their race when we're deciding who gets into what school. i think it'd be much better if we just looked at people's acheechs and stuff we can actually control. rachel: it's not just asian-americans, i talk to if many white males who also feel they're discriminated against. so it may not be that they think asians don't have, you know, the right personality or they're too heavy on math, could be they just, there are only so many places, and they have a diversity agenda or quota that they need to meet, so they need to make room for these others. tell me about the case, why you decided to be involved in this. it's going fault way to the supreme court -- all the way to the supreme court. >> right. i think it's about who we are as a country. i think in america we fundamentally believe in fairness, egalitarianism, we believe in the american dream that you can do anything if you put your mind to it. and i think that's sort of -- education is one of the ways that we can get there. i think education is a great way

to insure that you are in the middle class, going to college. we should make sure that everybody has an equal chance at the american dream, everyone has an equal shot getting into college. i mean, think about it, right? higher education is the reason why i'm an american today. our higher education system drew my grandparents to this country. that's why they became citizens and a had my parents here, it's why i'm a citizen today of the united states. and i think we can't, we have to are live up to that promise. we can't be racially deciding who gets into college, because i think that people of all races are deserving of the american dream, and we shouldn't stack the deck against some races. rachel: yeah. ful i couldn't agree more. i think we need to return to that idea of a meritocracy. it definitely is more fair. by the way, asians do score disproportionately higher on these the tests. i just want to though what the asian community is doing, maybe we should have that conversation about how we're getting so much high achievers in that community as opposed to punishing them for that achievement. alex, really great to have you

[laughter] pete: turning now to a few additional headlines, bryan kohberger, the man accused of killing four idaho college students, appearing in count yesterday in a suit and tie. a judge postponing his decision over whether a gag order for his trial should be lifted. kohberger's attorneys argue keeping the order in place is the only way to insure a fair trial. but the family of one victim says the first amendment gives them the right to talk to the media about the case. prosecutors seiko berger stabbed the four students to death in an off-campus home back in november. and joe biden naming a new border patrol chief, appointing the head of the del rio sector to the role. jason owens is the third person to lead the border patrol under
