i'm griff jenkins. jacjacqui: i'm jacqui heinrich. >> quite frankly i would like to go back o back and revisit the treasury and go back and look at the suspicious activity reports. lucas: democrats are saying nothing to see here and want this probe to focus on the president's son. >> the fbi director said they looked into all of this and decided that there was no need into further investigation. the matter in delaware is about

hunter biden and not the president of the united states. lucas: he did not want to talk about the second trump indictment. >> are you concerned about -- lucas: some thing hillary clinton had problem securing material. the wall street journal editorial page writing last night, quote, in the court of public opinion the first question will be about two standards of justice, mr. biden had old classified files stored in de ftse 100 garage next to sports car. when the news come out he didn't sound too apologetic and president biden remains under a separate federal investigation to his handling of classified material. it's also a special council. jacqui: on the fbi 1023 form, sources told fox that documents doesn't state that any payments went to joe biden, more, of course, to explore on that case, but interesting news out of the

white house in the last few minutes, lucas, initially denying the story that reported chinese happening in cuba, now they backtracked a bit. lucas: first reported allegations that chinese was to built spy base and white house later backtracking after saying the report was not accurate. actually the spy base had been therefore and, of course, a quote, that we inherited. the white house critics saying trying to get the secretary of state onto that trip to china, of course, canceled in february after chinese spy craft conducted the week-long odyssey. jacqui: prc will try to enhance its presence in cuba. we will keep work to go disrupt it. we will see with that. lucas tomlinson at the white house, thank you. >> this is a fox news alert,

ted, unibomber found dead in prison cell this morning according to federal bureau of prisons this morning. prprolific bomber. he was 81 year's old. very interesting, jacqui. i remember the pursuit for him, the mail bombings and ultimately he was sending letters to the washington post, new york times saying this manifesto, 35,000 word manifesto published and he would stop and put two together and they apprehended and arrested in cabin in montana. terrifying episode. jacqui: very dramatic as that played out. interesting to remember all of the intrigue about manifestos that we hear today.

griff: in the final point memorable that his brother played a key part in apprehension because he was living in remote cabin with no electricity might not have been caught but for that brother. for more on what we know about the historic federal indictment of former president trump nate foy in b bedminster, new jersey. reporter: this comes as he faces 37 felonies for his handling of classified documents and some cases he's accused of showing people those documents. take a look at these boxes found at mar-a-lago. prosecutors say that back in 2021 here in bedminster the former president accused to showing four people who did not have security clearances attack plan prepared for him by the

defense department and later that year accused of showing another person map related to a military operation. the former president faces charges involving willfully retaining national defense information, withholding and concealing documents, making false statements and conspiracy to obstruct justice. now as he gets ready to speak in georgia and north carolina today, the former president's attorney gave us insight of his emotional state on "fox & friends". >> he's not demoralized. he's motivated. he's going to go to speak and continue with his life. this is unfortunate the life ha he has been forced to live because he wants to save the country. nate: griff, former president calls the indictment election interference. he calls box hoax. he's using it to raise money in 2024 campaign. his aide faces 6 felony charges for his handling of classified documents.

he's accused to lying to fbi rated mar-a-lago. next week on tuesday he's scheduled to appear in miami federal court at 3:00 p.m. we will send it back to you, griff. griff: do we have indication what the president will be doing? nate: we don't have any confirmation on that, griff, we are expecting that he will be coming back here to bedminster. we know in an anticipation of tuesday, the secret service as well as authorities in miami will be preparing everything there to make sure that the president is safe as he goes down to miami but as far as his plans after he finishes speaking in north carolina which is after his georgia event tonight, we don't have confirmation that he's coming back here but we will keep digging to get that information for you.

griff: nate toy following the developments in bedminster, nate, thank you. >> former vice president mike pence is speaking at the gop convention as several presidential hopes make stops in north carolina. former president trump expected to speak as nate foy reported on. let's bring our political panel. garrett, jose, thank you for being there. i think -- >> thank you. griff: what everyone in the country is talking about is the political side of trump's indictment and what impact it may have on the campaign trail as we see the various gop hopefuls not named trump trying to figure out what their tact

is, do they rush to trump's defense or they lean into the charges and the seriousness with which he has been charged? >> i think it plays -- if the alvin bragg indictment is any indication of how this will play, it only helps strengthen president trump. if you look at the numbers he continued to go up in the polls in the gop primary and after the alvin bragg indictment in manhattan, showed abc poll that trump was leading biden 49-42 which really shows why biden doj and others have gone and targeted president trump here because he's leading political opponent and 70% of voters say it's heading in the wrong direction. this really does raise questions

not only double standard, and also questions double standard with joe biden. we found out earlier this year he had classified document that is he stalled that he was not authorize today have, had no legal precedent as the vice president or senator to ever declassify those documents so clearly looks political, the american people can see through that, lady justice is supposed to be blind and right now looks like she's wearing a biden 2024 t-shirt. griff: is there apprehension of democrats attacking for fear it can come back on president biden, of course, there is an independent special counsel looking into him not by jack smith but robert hurd. that's nowhere near to coming to a conclusion any time soon. >> well, i don't think democrats need to get distract bid --

distracted by the trump indictment. we have the best presidential candidate in joe biden and everything that we have been able to do. this president has done more than any other president in history and when it comes to passing legislation, we are talking about the infrastructure act, the inflation reduction act and so much more. inflation has gone down. the economy continues to go up. griff: i did not freeze jose there. >> yes, obviously let the case with donald trump play itself. i don't think joe biden needs to either comment too much on it, let that play out. look, i will agree with garrett from a financial perspective, i think that will do well for president trump. i think he will raise well on the indictment but not continues from a moral standpoint i don't think it's good for the president. griff: we put together a

compilation where the presidents are on this. i believe we have that for you if we can play that. >> let me be very clear, no one is above the law. >> we are not going to let the agencies run our country. >> today what we see is a justice system where the scales are weighted. >> donald trump is not commit today rule of law and he proved that. >> this is bigger disparity between trump and biden. we have two standards of justice in this country. griff: now there is a variety of different answers there and our producer, heather, did a fantastic job of bringing it in one spot, we will see how the message changes should they all end up on a debate stage in the coming months. but garrett, i want to ask you, is this a defining issue now and perhaps will play bigger than as jose is talking about the economy which was front and

center until donald trump got indicted. now is this the bigger issue? >> i think it's bigger issue about the primary. this is bellwether for primary voters when donald trump has 53% follow the polls and others are trying to get part with that. if you're siding with the biden doj political witch hunt of donald trump and condemning trump there's really not that much room to succeed here because a lot see as political what's happening with hillary clinton, joe biden now, his handling of documents. so they are going to see that as political. in the general election if the economy is an issue, i think this will also be an issue, it'll be tough to criticize donald trump on documents because of the own special counsel investigation to him and he wasn't the president when he handled the documents. donald trump is absolutely destroying joe biden head to head with handling the economy in the polls.

griff: jose, we see inflation seems to be plateauing a little bit although mainstream americans are feeling it. the administration has status to make strong argument for the economy heading into the campaign season yet president biden in addition to documents also facing serious scrutiny from the likes of james comer and the oversight committee on this alleged bribery scandal. are democrats having trouble sending their message out? >> sure, look, under the investigation so far all we have seen is hearsay. there hasn't been any really evidence. they keep pushing about this document that they wanted the committee to see. they've seen the document, we will wait for congress to do presser and talk to the american people of what happened with this document, what does it involve. so far joe biden has done nothing wrong. i don't think comer will take anything out of this other than

taking taxpayer money and i don't think there's really nothing more. joe biden should continue to talk to the american people to show he's the best candidate in 2024. griff: is this allegation is a distraction and do you think they want to hear more about border issues or does it matter to them? >> well, president trump and other candidates are talking about the other issues too. these are obviously things that come up. in terms of this, this is a real big issue not only for republican voters but the american people. there's an fbi that had to not only be a threat of obviously a subpoena but for chris wray to be held in content of congress for him to produce that which is really a very unprecedented step there that he wouldn't produce until that step happened. now, if this allegation is coming from a credible source that fox news reported, this

isn't scam thing. there's allegation that joe biden allegedly was part of a 5 million-dollar bribery scheme with barisma that hunter biden sat in the board of and certainly the american people will want to know, if the president was part of bribery scheme and th that will blow status. griff: have a great weekend. jacqui. jacqui: van der sloot pleads not guilty to extortion and defrauding hallway's family, van der sloot set foot in american soil. charlecharles watson is followie

american soil. >> they wouldn't have gone to extradition proceedings. i think they have a pretty rock-solid case against him. charles: yeah, van der sloot landed in birmingham on thursday after temporarily surrendered to u.s. authorities by the pruvian government, a dutch national serving sentence for stephanie flores attempted to stop extradition but judge denied request. now that van der sloot is on u.s. soil they are overwhelmed with emotion as the wheels of justice finally start turning. >> to finally have justice, resemblance of it is just an act of god and we are very thankful. charles: yeah, van der sloot faces up to four decades in

that air quality remains at unhealthy level, the race would be canceled or horses would need to practice before running. racing returned yesterday as air quality improved. now, we know 9 horses will compete in today's race of one and a half miles and as for the horses, let's talk about them. after being scratched in kentucky because of foot beaus forte is the favorite. ángel of empire and national treasure follow close behind. >> any time you come out here and bet you are always hope forking the best outcome and hoping they have safe travel. >> hanging over excitement of today's race is a dozen horse dealings. churchill downs, announced decision to suspend racing and relocate to a different kentucky racetrack. churchill downs has said it has

decades. wild land fires operation technician for pennsylvania division of forest fire protection, katie, thank you so much for joining us. i think fire has been on a lot of people's minds if you're anywhere along the east coast this past week where we had so much smoke from canadian wild fires coming down to our area and luckily it's blown out now but puts the risk of how big a problem fires can be even if they are far away at the forefront of people's minds. what do you see happening in more communities to ensure that prevention happens so this doesn't escalate? >> well, what i'd like for people to take away today is just a little bit of safety particularly around like campfire safety. burn barrels something called home initiation zone. with the campfire safety, don't

build a campfire in hazardous dry conditions like we are having right now. further down the road when we can have campfires again more safely, choose a site that's at least 15 feet from tent walls, shrubs trees or flammable objects. be aware -- [inaudible] >> we are having issues with audio. i want to bring up some full screens to show our audience because pennsylvania where you are is having one of the driest

mays in decades. 1.7-inches of precipitation. that's the driest may since 1977 and if you look at the map of pennsylvania, that whole green area is moderate fire danger risk and the high is all of that yellow. i mean, you've got the majority of the state at high, high risk of potential fire danger so hopefully your audio is fixed, katie. how much climate, lack of rainfall factored into what we have been seeing on the east coast this year? >> yeah. hopefully you can hear me. so something that we look at is our fuel moisture particularly of the dead fuels and threshold that is based upon how long it would take for two-thirds of the dead fuel to respond to atmospheric moisture. the smaller fuels such as grass

and leaves they can change on a dime. the larger fuels, however, it can take them between 10, 100, a thousand hours for them to respond to the atmosphere and right now we are looking at some very, very low moisture content in these heavy dead fuels especially with all the high temps and the lower hr's. typically we don't see these drought-like conditions until late summer but we usually have higher hrh's to keep from igniting and with that a lot of our fires over the past couple of weeks have been started from equipment use from carbon and getting into the fuels and leading through the heavy fuels and getting much larger fires than what we would like. jacqui: okay, all right. katie, thank you so much. hopefully folks that have listened to take pointers so we don't see anything spiral out of control. thank you very much for your

unique. we just need to search for parkages in our mailbox and it's quite possible that the next state of the union address will mention the state of the universe where i very much hope the president will say, fellow americans and earth links, we are not alone if, indeed there's such materials. if not, i'm going find out my way which is the scientific way in an open fashion without hiding anything and i will report from the expedition on medium.com. i have a blog there. medium.com and you can follow the results if we find anything, you will know about it. griff: we will be following it very closely. the head of the galileo project. harvey professor avi. thank you very much. >> thanks for having me. griff: moms for liberty pushing back after the liberal southern poverty law center labels them a hate group. that story next.
