he from florida. it's actually pronounced flo rida. he performs the whole three hours. he doesn't stop. he is an amazing performer. he has a sock that was released a year ago. i heard it for the first time o what a night. he infuses that song in with a little rap. it's so good. it's worth sticking around for. >> lawrence: we can't wait for it. he is an incredible entertainer. he is excited to be here. everyone is excited to see him. i'm not just talking about the folks that are joining our vips going barbecue out there. the public, but the people in the building as well. the all the staff, the crew, everyone is excited to have him in. >> joey: i didn't know how many friends i had in new york until today i know you are hosting. >> ainsley: last night at dinner i was nervous. lawrence has given me dance moves. >> joey: oh, lawrence. >> ainsley: stay in your box, don't move. the girls last night go low when

they said go, low, low, low. don't go low. that makes you look old. i said lawrence and chris told me to stay in my box. what movie was that from? >> chris: will smith e. he was teaching kevin james how to dance. >> ainsley: dave, can you show chris. >> just stay right here. >> ainsley: no pizza. [laughter] >> we're not going low. we are not going -- right here. >> lawrence: stay in the box. >> what was the pizza? >> no making pizzas. >> my dancing shoes. they were left in afghanistan. you are still going to go out there with us. can you still get up there with us? >> joey: i can get anywhere. >> lawrence: did you see the man moving in the diner the other day? he got this. we got news to go to. former president donald trump

hit with three new charges and special counsel jack smith classified records probe. >> ainsley: the 202 # republican frontrunner now facing up to 140 years in prison as he is accused of attempting to delete surveillance footage at mar-a-lago. >> joey: brooke singman spoke exclusive whether i president trump and she joins us now. >> that's right. special counsel jack smith bringing three new felony charges against former president donald trump against him and his need over handling of classified documents. president trump telling me exclusively last night, quote, it's election interference at the highest level. the charges are ridiculous. he said this is prosecutorial misconducts used at a level never seen before e said he is way up as a republican and way up in the general election and this is what you get. the latest charges brought against president trump include one more count of willful attention of national defense information and two new obstruction counts. those charges being added

alongside the pre-existing counts of conspiracy, false statements, and destroying documents, bringing the grand total to 41 criminal charges with the possibility of 140 years behind bars. now, yesterday's filing also bringing charges to a third defendant as prosecutors now accuse the former president of asking the head of maintenance at mar-a-lago club to carlos deoliverio are a to delete security camera footage he says is he charged with conspiracy to obstruct justice set to appear in courtroom on monday. that's the same day devon archer will testify before the house oversight committee about the biden family's business dealings. guys? >> lawrence: brook, thanks so much. >> ainsley: good get talking to the former president last night. good get. he said on social media this is what you get for leading the polls for the white house in 2024. election interference at the highest level. we searing that it's 144 years. the guy had classified materials

in his house. okay so did some other presidents or vice presidents and are they experience this? did they get raided? where are the charges? where is the accountability for them? where is the special counsel joe biden next to his house or in his garage or in his offices. many more boxes than donald trump got caught for. what about the sweetheart plea deal and tax fraud and felony drug charges and almost getting off and almost getting blanket immunity if it weren't for this judge appointed by trump. what about the bribery and foreign influence allegations that's possible as well. why aren't we hearing more about the biden family and those charges? this jack smith keeps going after donald trump and it's more charges. i thought this was done. i thought now they were moving on to january ofth and moving on to georgia. now they are going back to florida and find three additional charges and find people that work for him. came up in the ranks probably came from nothing and had low jobs they moved up. they were hard workers.

and now they are getting charged. >> joey: one of the reasons you are not hearing more is they are handled completely differently. president trump handled special prosecution. there isn't a lot of people telling that person no. the people investigating president trumps anything hunter biden has gone wrong goes directly to his dad. it doesn't mean it's right that's why we are getting what we are getting. the hope from people in congress isn't to change president trump's fate but to show that president biden not only been corrupt but essentially sold our country out in business dealings with hunter biden. that's a big deal. that's a bigger deal than anything president trump is charged with. it doesn't mean that president trump is innocent. it means that president biden sitting president could be corrupt. >> ainsley: it would be similar to collusion. if donald trump charged with colluding with russia to fix the

election. that's big. that's a big deal. that didn't happen. he was exonerated with the mueller investigation. look at this, this is possibly hunter biden using his dad's influence and trading money for policy. >> lawrence: so, it looks like according to jack smith, finally the allegation is that president trump attempted to destroy evidence and it looks like the court attempted to get the video footage there. there was never a subpoena for the footage. they are saying that they were going to get the subpoena. i just think that's a lot of spinning right there because i know that the court, as well as the department of justice, wanted hillary's information that was on her server and it was destroyed and all those cell phones were destroyed. so i just want to understand the legalese around all of this.

jonathan. >> ainsley: good point. >> lawrence: jonathan turley who is very smart on this, has some words. let's watch. >> it's fairly common for the doj to go after low hanging fruit. the idea is to hit him with an indictment. concentrate their minds. see if they will flip for the government. you know, it's an indication that they still want or need those ines a eyewitness account. presumably witnesses connected to the movement of the material. we know the material was held at various locations. so they would have some knowledge about that movement. but i agree with andy, as you do superseding indictments and you add parties, it just gets a lot tougher to stick the landing on that trial date. i mean, you are getting -- this is going to push things back. it's going to make things a bit more complex. >> lawrence: we just witnessed a judge tell the department of justice and ask the question: has there ever been a deal like

this? is there any precedent for this. >> joey: about hunter biden. >> lawrence: with hunter biden and they said it was unprecedented. we laid out the case how other people have gotten stiffer deals and all. this we have that same department of justice. even though this is a different special counsel, that's involved with this' they are still going after low hanging fruit with donald trump. >> joe: what jonathan turley was saying there. the way i interpret it. this specific set of charges, three more brooke just told us. not that they think it's going to stick. a tool they use turn people closer to donald trump's movements. both have been with him it sounds like for a really long time. one being a valet, another valet promoted to some other position. and it seems like they are using this as a tool to intimidate them to turn on president trump and maybe reveal private conversations. private movements and some of the other charges. you get up to 41 charges. you are throwing everything at the wall either hoping something sticks or hoping to make a plea

deal on what you know will stick. i don't know that president trump has any inclination to make any kind of plea deal. i think that he believes and it looks like his best opportunity here is to win the presidency. >> ainsley: yeah. i mean, this is the two guys that work for him. the two aides that have been indicted. one worked for trump for 20 years beginning as a car valet and becoming a property manager in january of 2022. he weighs indicted alongside the president. so then you have two different guys. there is walt into the that and carlos day alli vary row. >> they were car valets. they worked their ways unin the ranks was at the white house and asking karine jean-pierre does this mean that the president will exonerate his son by pardoning him?

this was her response. >> i know you say a not a lot has changed since yesterday and that's a personal matter. is there any possibility that the president would end up pardoning his son? >> no. >> well is there. >> i just said no. i just answered. >> so thank you, both. and it's my -- as my mother would say. god love you. thanks. see you all. [applause] [reporters shouting questions] are you going to pardon your son? >> todd: let me just say if he doesn't win re-election and his son is convicted, there is zero chance he will not pardon his son on his way out the door. we know that we don't even have to ask that question other than to have this tape of them to say no to have them use against predecessor. >> lawrence: i'm more struck about the arrogance of the white house right now. >> joey: how dare you ask. >> lawrence: how dare you ask. let's not forget current

impeachment inquiry going on right now and the white house is beating their chest and they feel like they don't have to answer any questions from the american people. the only people asking questions is fox in the prime minister. you would think there would have been one question from the outside mainstream media about the inquiry that's taking place. there was zero. >> ainsley: as far as pardoning is concerned it has happened before where president bill clinton when he was mostly in his final hours before leaving office in 2001, he pardoned his younger half-brother on a conviction of conspiring to distribute cocaine and then also donald trump, he pardoned jared kushner's dad. charles kushner. he was convicted 15 years after his conviction illegal campaign contributions. tax evasion and witness tampering. >> joey: real quick before we move on this, something to keep in mind. we have incumbent president who has been around for 50 years. and we have a former president who is leading the pack by almost 50 points. both of them are under serious

investigation. well, you look at president biden, he may become under serious investigation from republicans in congress. yet, no one is attacking them on it. gavin newsom isn't attacking president biden. even ron desantis isn't attacking president trump on these things. and i find that very interesting. is there a point in this primary season where that table turns where they both start taking shots from their own party from folks that want to unseat them from being the frontrunner? >> lawrence: fair point. >> ainsley: it is friday that means we have free barbecue on fox square. the mclemores came all the way up from georgia to be with us. father john and son john. john jr. hey, guys. >> ainsley and lawrence and joey, we are just happy to be here. is this it, lawrence, this is our lane? >> lawrence: i like it. >> we have a lot this morning. it is national flo rida day here at fox. we are more excited right now than we have ever been. i can take these and i can

intelligence community or with the house intelligence committee i should say and he joins us now. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> ainsley: good morning. what exactly does china want to do? >> well, i think they want to do what they do with almost every other industry which is steal the intellectual property and hand that off to their competitors in this case the american auto industry, for example, flood the market with these sort of, you know, falsely subsidized vehicles, win market share and then push out their competition. now, in vehicles, in the automobile industry, this is super important because we need wheeled vehicles to fight wars, think tanks, think jeeps, so the auto industry is very important. of course they are equipped with increasingly sophisticated electronics, which means we have like essentially these mobile tiktoks running around driving on our roads collecting intelligence, collecting information, sending that back to beijing a highly concerning

situation that they, of course, could turn out in the event, potentially of attack on taiwan, for example. >> ainsley: the problem, andy, when you want to buy an electric car here in america pretty expensive. the average price is $55,000 here in america. i was reading an article yesterday china their cheapest car compared to the chevy volt which is an electric vehicle 10,000 in american dollars there wife is it much cheaper there labor is much cheaper there and how can we get our prices down in america. >> in china they have captured market. they have quotas. they have access to mineral, of course we have shut a lot of that off. electric vehicles need a great deal of rare earth minerals, for example and the chinese have ready access to that and you mentioned the labor issues. but, of course, they have been stealing intellectual property from automakers around the world handing that off to subsidized their car makers. something we in washington ought to pay very close attention to.

scheduled to appear before congress. let's bring in our political panel to react. former new york state senator and democratic strategist david car lucy a new york city business owner who ran against usc cheryl murray and executive vice chairman john burnett. thank you for joining. i will start with you. it seems like every time the president is hit with another indictment or another probe goes up in the polls with republican voters. how does this impact him during this primary election? >> well, we will all actually see because we are also going into a president or primary debate in a few weeks. and we'll see if president trump takes the stage i think he should, why? because no one is better than donald trump to be a lawyer in his own defense in terms of bringing his message to the american people. and what he will say whether he takes the stage or not to say that this is a set up, if you will, piling it on and at the

same time using it as a distraction from the mounting evidence, despite what david says, the mounting evidence against hunter biden as well as jand the biden crime family. we have seen situations where they are changing the language. they are starting to say he was not in business with his son and when he started off saying he never discussed business. as you mentioned, devon archer will actually debunk that claim. so they are starting to change the language. they are starting to pivot. at the same time, democrats are lining up. they are ready to jump in the race to challenge biden. >> lawrence: let me get david in here. we are going to talk about the president and hunter biden a little later on in the program. but, your reaction to the mar-a-lago document and this current prosecution? >> yeah seems like just another day, just another charge, just another indictment. i think a lot of people have been criticizing this whole scenario saying it's a witch-hunt. donald trump is targeted.

well, just like you had mentioned, i mean, every time donald trump is charged with something, he seems to ingratiate himself with the republican base. i think democrats shouldn't take the bait. need to stay focused on policy and the deliverables that president biden has been able to deliver playing the trump card easier than go fish the ace up the sleeve for joe biden policy he is has delivered on. at the end of the day people are sick of scandal. shame on both houses there is one charge here, one accusation here at the end of the day it's about policy. >> lawrence: sara is shaking her head you disagree. >> scandal, we have creepy crooked scandalous joe and hunter biden. >> donald trump. >> no, excuse me where we have the house g.o.p. unveil $10 million bribery scheme. we know hunter biden, the list is long and the fix is in and so

from corruption to tax evasion to racketeering, to mishandling an illegal weapon, i don't know if joe biden is going to survive his 2024 re-election bid. >> in all of these cases none of them are pointed at joe biden. this is about hunter biden. there is all this talk but when you look at the gal charges, i haven't seen anything on joe biden. juxtapose that to donald trump. we have got at least five trials that are pending right now. >> lawrence: i got to get y'all reaction to this. one thing for sherri and john to have this point of view but we were surprised to hear this from msnbc. let's watch it. >> not only is it going to be a significant complication for this president as he runs for a second term and continues about the business of this administration to have his son's legal woes at least as it relates to the government itself continuing but it's only going to add more fuel to the political fire that republicans were stoking on capitol hill as they move forward with a potential impeachment charge. >> lawrence: john even at msnbc and nbc they are saying this is starting to hurt the president.

>> absolutely. it's mounting in terms of the documentation we have two credible whistleblowers within the irs and now we have his business partners stepping forward to debunk biden's original claim that he never discussed business with his son. so, his whole argument is falling apart. and, look, i love hunter, too. i'm trying to get to heaven, right? but love has nothing to do with this we have scandal and despite what david said americans are frustrated whether on the right front or center they are frustrated with bidenomics. while he touts biden's policies, america is fed up with his foreign policy and on shore policy. ains. >> lawrence: a quick response. >> instead of them talking about policy, i mean they are obsessed with impeachment. it's like impeachment is candy for them. >> lawrence: that's rich. [laughter] >> instead of teeth falling out

they're losing elections and credible. if you have a policy position, focus on that. instead, just tear down everything that joe biden has done. >> lawrence: let me give the last word to cherry. he says they are obsessed with impeachment. there was like two impeachments in the last. >> exactly. whether you are democrat, independent or republican there needs to be equal application. >> impeach now and get another one in 2024. >> lawrence: i appreciate you all being so fired up this morning and all your perspective, john, scherie and. accused of sending fake texts to police. it turned out it was a prank inspired by youtube channel. the local sheriff says it wasn't funny and is he next. ron dwayne johnson ufc knockout gift surprise that hit home. that's next.

that either parents at home can use or you are all using going into schools saying hey, here is an example of what not though do and here is why? >> yeah. great question and, yes, we are. you know, last week we had an incident where a 12-year-old thought she was chatting with a 16-year-old turned out 29-year-old male who forced himself on her. so what we are doing is starting roadshows throughout the county starting monday. we are begging parents to come. we want to inform them and show them what their children are doing on the internet. how you can protect your child and what crimes they can be charged with whether they go down this road of following these challenges. >> joey: i know you work at the local level and in my opinion that's the most important level. from your perspective and experience, should congress or the federal level be doing anything to curtail minor's access to these platforms? >> yeah. absolutely. as a father and a grandfather, we have to do it. we are so far behind the 8 ball on what social media is doing to our children and the path that it's leading them down. the federal government has to

step in and put some type of road blocks in place. >> joey: sheriff, thank you for all you do. thanks for keeping your community safe, and thanks for coming on with us. >> thank you. god bless you. >> joey: yes, sir. now we are going to toss over to carley shimkus with a fully charged cell phone. >> carley: that's right. i just handed my phone over to chris. you got me. charged with killing four university of idaho students in november are now asking for his indictment to be dropped. bryan kohberger's attorney say that indictment came after a grand jury was led to believe the standard of proof was lower than it should have been if the indictment is thrown out, kohberger would still face a preliminary hearing where a judge would review the evidence in the case. he has pleaded not guilty to the killings in may. prosecutors are seeking the death penalty. new york city mayor eric adams meeting with dhs secretary alejandro mayorkas yesterday. secretary mayorkas is promising

recently. >> janice: what school do you go to. >> i go to syracuse university. >> janice: very nice university. what do you hope to do when you get out of school. >> i hope to be here ideally. we will see. fingers crossed. this is the most amazing experience around i'm happy to be here. >> janice: what is the best part of it. >> meeting everyone. learning from so many incredible people. i feel like this is the most impactful experience of my career so far thanks to you guys. >> janice: listen. are you ready to do the weather. >> i'm ready let's do it. >> janice: she is ready to go. >> the heat remains the biggest story across the country heat alerts stretching from california to the east coast including washington, d.c. to boston. new york is under an excessive heat warning with temperatures expected to be in the upper 90's and feeling more like over 100 degrees. meanwhile, strong to severe thunderstorms are expected from the midwest across the great lakes and ohio valley. some of these storms could contain large hail, damaging winds and isolated tornadoes as well as heavy rain leading to flash flooding and that's all i got for you.

family research counsel jennifer bow entestified at yesterday's hearings and she joins us now good morning, jennifer. >> good morning. good to be with you. >> ainsley: we watched the testimony throughout the day on the fox news channel we heard different opinions one mother we are have a strong christian family my child we always knew she always wanted to hang out with the boys. later in life she was the only girl on the football team and she wanted to be -- she said she wanted to be a boy. we felt that was comfortable for our family and she told a glowing story about that child. then we heard from someone who had to de-transition. she had a terrible experience with it. because she said she wanted to be a boy. she had operations. are early, 15 years old. suicidal after that. and she went through her whole experience and how terrible it was. so we heard both sides yesterday. what was your message and what was important to you? what was the message you wanted to get out? >> i think the most important thing that we need to look at here is we are talking about

kids. and we don't have room to get this wrong. we need to have the best scientific studies to support any kind of practice that involves, one, social transition which would change a person's psychology and developmental process and we don't know what outcome that has on kids for outcome on kids. two, we don't know the long-term effects of some of these drugs. we know. so effects that are very bad for people's physiology. but. most importantly, we really need to have the best quality research and we don't have that with this particular i say quote, unquote, intervention because it's really at the experimental stage. i made a list of should be answered at the very beginning

of any kind of intervention and here we have unanswered questions that are really basic like why -- why are young girls identifying with gender dysphoria when it was typically young men? and we could go on and on. but here, the basic fact of the matter is, we're using a very invasive practice without good research and the compassionate thing to do is actually take a step back and look at the research. whether you agree with this ideologically or not, the research is the most important missing element in this practice. >> joey: jennifer, if we take a step all the way back, one of the terms used is gender dysphoria. it seems like people on both sides take further action argument kind of agree on that being some sort of psychosis or state of mind. can you explain like the entire field is on that and what your recommendation is on that? >> right, so, in most cases, when we have someone who is

presenting with a diagnosis. we actually look for ways and multiple ways to treat that we don't just -- i use the term in the hearing a monopoly. so right now we're seeing a monopoly on gender affirming care that is the only way to help a kid. and this isn't just -- this is bad practice. >> lawrence: jennifer, we appreciate your take and coming on the program. this is definitely one of the top issues of our time. we really appreciate you coming on this morning. >> ainsley: thank you so much. >> thank you for having me. >> ainsley: okay. the second hour of "fox & friends" starts right now
