a vigil last night. take a looked at this video. among the people who showed up was the houston mayor who said he's going to keep a close eye on the criminal justice system in this case. listen to this. >> we're going to see that these criminals are held accountable. what we need to do is send the word tonight, don't even think about it if you're thinking about harming one of our young babies. >> reporter: so the two capital murder suspects remain in jail. they'll appear in court next on monday. prosecutors wrote in court documents of 26-year-old franklin peña and 3232-year-old johan martinez, quote, in this case the defendant lured a 12 year old under a bridge where he and his co-defendant remained with her for over two hours, took her pants off, tied her up and and killed her, then threw her body in the bayou. according to i.c.e., border patrol agents in el paso arrested and released both

alexis mcadams joining us now. what is he going to talk about? >> reporter: well, we're going to hear from the former president about a few topics including crime here in philadelphia, the any -- the economy and also the border. it's a huge topic that a lot of americans are talking about. he's going to be speak at this pretty big rally at temple university in phil philly in just a matter of hours. this is part of a swing state tour for the former prime minister michigan, wisconsin with, georgia and then later tonight pennsylvania. these are states the former president won back many 2016 but lost in 2020, and recent polling shows trump's doing better in these states this time around, so gaining more support specifically with young and non-white voters who say they're upset is with the handling of the economy by president biden and also gaza which we have seen a lot of protesters, right, show up when the president is speaking, talking about the war and gaza. so today trump will be speak at a conservative christian event in washington d.c. they just took a short break as

a hay get that stage ready for a few more speaks, and then the former president. he's also a hitting the podcast circuit which is interesting, trying to talk with more people. he spoke about foreign policy and the economy on the all in podcast which is pretty popular. one of the hosts say trump needs to focus on the future, not his last term. watch. >> if he reminds people of how chaotic that first term was, i think he loses. but if he seems more presidential and he seems more reasonable, i think that's going to get him a lot more moderates, and that's what's going to decide the election, women and moderates. >> reporter: and both of the candidates, trump and biden, are focused on pennsylvania, specifically in philadelphia where they're trying to go after the black vote here which would be pivotal in this election. biden won it last time around in 2020, but it shows some of the support is shifting, so the dnc's trying to the make former president trump feel not so welcome, they put up signs and billboards that say, donald trump is a disaster for black americans. i'm sure he'll have some things

to say about that. jacqui: all right. alexis mcadams for us, thank you. griff: while president trump spends his weekend out on the campaign pain trail -- campaign trail, president biden is hunkered down at camp david preparing for the upcoming cnn debate. madeleine rivera is at the white house9 with the latest. >> reporter: president biden thinks it'll give him the chance to hold president trump accountable. listen here. ,. >> not having an audience, not having distractions, not having to worry about covid, i think all those people are better for the american people, and joe biden's going to have a great debate. >> reporter: the debate is happening earlier than usual which the campaign thinks will i row voters to judge the candidates. when it comes to tone, a campaign official tells fox the president has gotten punchier in his remarks, a theme he plans to

carry through to the debate. the president's former chief of staff and bob baur, the president's personal attorney, in mock sessions. he shared this when it comes to how he approaches being a stand-in. >> you want to strike a balance between trying to approximate the experience, but it's not an opportunity the for theatrics. that's a distraction. so you want to find some balance between recreating the experience and not attempting to, if you will, audition for "saturday night live." >> reporter: after winning a coin flip, president biden picked his stage position, stage right. trump will deliver the last closing statement. griff. griff: madeleine rivera live on the north lawn, thank you. >> reporter: you got it, of course. jacqui: bernie sanders and aoc are rallying in the bronx with jamal if bowman who is speaking now. the squad member finds himself in the heat of primary race and is in danger of losing his seat.

c.b. cotton is here with the latest on the very expensive race. >> reporter: yeah, that's right. representative jamaal bowman is facing off against new york county executive george latimer who in some policy is up by a significant number. if he wins, he'd be the first person to successfully unseat a progressive squad member. bowman has closely aligned himself9 with the squad's views to include an early call for a permanent ceasefire in the israel-hamas war. latimer has reiterated the position that he believes israel has a right to self-defense. in so many ways this race has become a referendum on the israel-hamas war, but political analysts say it's also about the future of the democratic party. >> so if jamaal bowman also falls, i think it would deliver a pretty strong message that this particular wing of the democratic party is out of favor with democratic primary voters.

>> reporter: but you'll remember bowman found controversy long before the middle east conflict. he was criminally charged and find after pulling a congressional fire alarm last year ahead of a vote to avoid a government with shutdown. looking now, this is the scene of a rally getting underway in the bronx. bowman is campaigning with senator bernie sanders and fellow squad member, representative alexandria ocasio-cortez. during another rally held yesterday, bowman said he's not against the democratic party but, rather, he wants the party to do better for all people. and sanders, he tried to reiterate bowman's support for israel. he also spoke about a record-setting spending in this race which has funded attack ads against bowman. >> what democracy is, to me, is one person, one vote. and it's not what this campaign is about. as jamal indicated, in an unprecedented way we are seeing aipac and other super pacs put

more money into this primary than in any primary in the history of the united states of america. >> reporter: most of those super pacs are pro-israel and, again, they've spent millions on ads to attack bowman and support latimer. latimer has shrugged off most of this at least publicly, and he said this week he thinks he has connected with voters on other key issues. >> they're talking about, the voters are talking about affordability, they're talking about jobs, they're talking about transportation issues. but the bottom line is his mindset on these issues is not consistent with this district. and i think that's probably the disconnect. when the voters vote -- >> reporter: this weekdays out from the election bowman if apologized for saying reports of sexual violence committed by hamas were propaganda. back to you. jacqui: c.b. cotton for us, thank you. griff? griff: a new york judge

dismissing criminal trespassing cases against 30 people who were arrested at columbia university during that anti-israel protest in april. the manhattan t.a. citing lack of evidence and extremely limited video in why he would ott not if prosecute. for more on this let's bring many fox news contributor and former nypd inspector paul mauro who's joining us now. paul, thanks for joining us and taking time today. i was stunned when i saw this. we all watched captivate ised as we watched the nypd officers risk their lives going into the building that these protesters had holed up in, that had taken a janitor hostage, essentially, trapped him in there. and yet charges dropped? if what do nypd officers feel about this? >> well, obviously, they'll be disheartened especially since it got to the point where they had to do a dynamic entry, they didn't know what they were gipg getting into. they knew there were a lot of professional a agitators there,

and, you know, they could have been9 getting into anything. yet they went in with their body cameras on. so this idea there wasn't enough evidence the move forward posits the question how do we then make similar such arrests before video was ubiquitous in our society both on body cams and elsewhere on the street? so that's a canard. and i've got to tell you, griff, this thing was baked into the cake9 from the get go because what they should have charged here and was definitely on the table was a misdemeanor charge for trespass which would have meant the protesters would have been fingerprinted, photographed, they would have been in the system, you would have had a nice, good story that has to be written in for the d.a. to prosecute. that all would have happened time of arrest. instead, most of them got just violations, it's a summons. and i was talking about it on the air at the time. i said, no, no, no, this is a mistake, it and reeks of a deal. i really think that columbia cut a deal here. again, i don't have evidence for this, but i don't understand why

in this circumstance these were not misdemeanor charges which would have prevented the kind of charge dropping now or at least the excuse for the charge dropping that we're just seeing. so the whole thing reeks and, of course, the police department members who went in are disheartened. griff: well, and, paul, it strikes me this is essentially green lighting more of this behavior. >> >> it is, of course. and, you know, you have to say to yourself, well, why did they do it? i would say a couple of reasons are likely possibilities. bragg's office likely agrees, certainly alvin bragg likely agrees with a lot of these protester, but also there's the issue of the donor class. the parents of these kids are the doe -- donor class. bragg's got an election coming up, and he's got to worry about the soros money. he comes down hard on this, you know? maybe he's not going to get that. there are all kinds of motivations here that, in my opinion, could be underlying this. but at the end of the day, all

it does is incentivize this sort of behavior, and and we're going to see it at the dnc in chicago, and we'll see it probably going into the autumn as long as either the gaza conflict is going on, or they'll find something else because a lot of these people, this is what people don't realize, a lot of people, as i said, are professional a agitate theres. this is their -- agitators. s this is their job. griff: it's going to be a hot summer, you're right about that. you're in new york, there in the bronx you've got aoc can, bernie sanders turning out, jamaal bowman speaking at his own rally. that's actually a live shot in the bronx. what do you make of what's happening in this race? >> all right, here's what's going on sort of beneath the surface. this district is new york's 16th. it was gerrymandered early this year, and that's been an ongoing battle here in new york. it was gerrymandered to include a place called co-op city in the bronx, and that is a heavily african-american location. it's a housing development. and so i thibaultman figured

that, okay, he was going to be a shoo-in for this. but then we got two wars, one of them in israel and one inside the democratic party. right now this is a referendum on where the democratic party stands going forward and where they stand on the cities reilly issue. gerrymandered district includes a big piece of the bronx, as i said, but it also goes up into the suburban areas of westchester. it's an odd district that i think was done cognizantly to create a permanent democratic district which it will be are, but it has a heavily jewish area in the north, a heavily african-american area in the south. and so that's kind of the dynamic going on here. and each side is trying to pull enough votes from the other side to get past the finish line. griff: well, and we saw bowman having to apologize for denying that hamas a had raped women, and he certainly got on the wrong side of that. if he loses, does that send a message to the larger democrat

party? >> i mean, it certainly could. he's been anything but moderate, you know? a squad member. i don't think he'd even characterize himself as a moderate. he calls himself a socialist. he's got a new problem now which i don't know if it'll move the need, but there's some reporting online and in the papers that he looks to have potentially plagiarized his dissertation for his education ph.d., it's actually an event d.d., but it looks -- e.d.d., but it looks pretty damning. you add that to the fact that he was willing to pull a burglar alarm in the middle of congressional hearings, and you have to say to yourself, there's a character issue. and right now it's coming down to getting out the vote. that's why he's holding this, and that's why he called in the big guns because the polling is not favoring him right now. that's why he's got sanders out there who's squad-adjacent is, he's not even in the house, they're pulling out all the stops, aoc, but i don't know if it's going to move the need. i think a lot of people have

made up their minds. griff: you see bernie sanders coming on stage with bowman . it's going to be a close one. you raise a good point, paul, a lot more scrutiny coming bowman's way here as they continue to rally in the bronx. paul mauro, thanks for taking time on saturday. >> thank you, griff. take care. jacqui: after a louisiana became the first state to pass a law requiring public classrooms to display the ten commandments, now another state is signaling it might be next. that's coming up. ♪ ♪ the thing you care about most is a job well done. ♪ but when you get your tools from harbor freight something about the job feels a little different - your wallet. because we believe no matter what you're working on you need high quality tools at a great price. and that's what we're all about. ♪ whatever you do, do it for less, at harbor freight. ♪ ♪ ♪

jacqui: texas lieutenant governor dan patrick is pledging the pass a bill that would require public cool and college ca classrooms to display the ten command. s just days after a similar. louisiana measure became law. patrick post on x: texas would have been and if should have been the first sate in the nation to put ten command ifments back in our schools. i will pass the ten commandments bill again out of the senate next session. for more on this, let's bring in constitutional awe law attorney mark smith. thank you so much for being with us, mancht i, you know, want to get your thoughts because it's so interesting to see play out. obviously, it has sparked a huge debate, and you've already seen the the aclu pledging to sue. they tweeted, let me pull it up

here, they tweeted that we're suing louisiana for requiring all schools to display the ten commandments in every classroom. public schools are not sunday schools. and it seems like they are taking on the voice of people like whoopi goldberg who sounded off on this. listen to what she said. >> they want to post this in schools -- >> yes. >> i say post it at mar-a-lago. >> this bothers me to no end. >> yeah. [applause] >> if you want your child to have a religious education, send 'em to a religious school. jacqui: so do you see this case going anywhere? how do you think it's going to end up, in your professional opinion? >> well, first, you've got to understand of course that as american is citizens, the entire constitutional structure of our government is that we, the people, have the authority to make decisions for our great country. now, to be an informed citizen, the founding fathers understood

that you really do need a moral and virtuous people and, thus, you need some sort of level of moral and virtue teachings. now, the ten commandments, of course, has some religious components to them, but in many respects they're more historical or social. they speak to issues far beyond religion. they're really just a list of good behaviors that one should engage in or not engage in they're bad behaviors. so really in this context i don't think there's going to be a constitutional problem under the first amendment's establishment clause that says you cannot establish a religion because i think posting the ten commandments has nothing to do with establishing a religion and everything to do with simply teaching good moral behavior to young people that ultimately become full-blown citizens and have to do things like exercise their right to vote as virtuous citizens,es which is what the founding fathers always thought. jacqui: let's follow that to the next logical step. say it's okay legally to display the ten commandments, but if a school doesn't display the ten

commandments and then the state tries to enforce it, how does that change the legal landscape, you know? who has cause there? >> well, i think that doesn't even speak to constitutional questions. if, for example, a town or a village school chooses not to follow state law, well, there's all sorts of remedies that can be made available. people could be fired, terminated, they could be suspended. the school's state funding could be cut off. all sorts of things could occur if a local government, a local school board doesn't follow state mandates. it's not no different than if they didn't follow any other state law. if this is a statewide law, it has to be complied with. if it's not, the people who refuse may have to pay the price, you know, basically by losing their jobs or -- jacqui: don't you think it's -- [inaudible] in that way that they would obviously sue and if that would be, they would have the other side of that argument to make in court, and there would be potentially a possible relief for them there?

>> well, they certainly can make all sorts of arguments in court, but if it's a state law that a says the ten commandments should be displayed in the classroom no different than, let's say, you have to display the american flag, you have to teach math, biology, and the teacher that accepts that job refuses to do those conditions of their employment, well, like anybody else who doesn't do their job, you can lose your job. if you accept the job, you've got to follow the state law. is there a possibility they could sue using some constitutional a argument? i suppose they could, but i don't think it would get very far when it comes to the ten commandments because these are really being displayed not so much as religious teaching, they're really a basis for western civilization upon which our constitution and our entire system of government and society is based upon. jacqui: yes we -- yesterday we had the louisiana governor who made the argument that said, look, it's on the back of the door, t offense our money, it

would be really unheard of to display it as somehow unconstitutional a. but he answered the question in an interesting -- it was an interesting question he was asked, is and his answer intrigued me. you know, what if another group comes up and says we want our covenant also posted on the walls of our children's schools? his answer was that it would not be an automatic yes. listen to what he said. >> you know, the interesting thing about the first amendment, and i heard it in one of the comments that you played, is this separation of church and state. i challenge anyone who says that to go find me those words in the first amendment. they don't exist if. it's a metaphor that was breathed into the first amendment by liberal supreme court in the 1930s. and so or again, this nation -- looked at all of the documents. jacqui: that was actually the wrong sound bite. just so i can get your answer to the question, he said you'd have to make the case to the legislature -- this is to the question of what if someone else wants their text displayed --

>> it'd have to meet the criteria of the statute. all of the documents of our country are based on judeo-christian principles, we've got it on our money, and if those who want to extract that out of the foundation of this country want to create chaos, it'll ultimately lead to the demise of the nation. what do you think about that? what's your reaction to that? >> well, at the end of the day, these laws are enacted by we, the people. down there in the state of texas, texas-elected representatives make decisions. if somebody is proposing something be taught the to the students whether displaid on the wall or a particular book or subject matter, they can go to the state legislature and make their argument as to why it should be enacted. but just because something is a good policy or a bad policy doesn't mean it speaks to questions with about whether or not it's constitutional a or not. something can be a great idea and unconstitutional, somebody could be an absolutely -- something could be an absolutely stupid idea and be

constitutional. they're not always the same. jacqui: well, it's been very interesting to watch the reaction play out across the spectrum, and it looks like texas is about to get right on louisiana's heels and tray to do this too. try to do this too. the lieutenant governor saying they wish they were first. so i assume we're going to -- we haven't seen the last of this yet. mark smith, thank you very much for being here. appreciate your time. griff: a judge has ruled against alec baldwin after a second attempt to get his case dismissed in the death of cinematographer halyna hutchens. christina coleman has more on what's next. hey, christina. >> reporter: hi, griff. the judge summarily rejected the defense's motion, she says involuntary man slaughter talks about whether the defendant should have known of the danger in the situation, and she says it is at the core of this case. now, during the virtual hearing the actor's legal team claimed the prosecution did not have evidence to prove9 that the gun

used in the shooting was working properly. they also argue that a baldwin had no grounds to believe the weapon contained a live round. however, the prosecution argues that as the lead actor and as a producer on this film, baldwin should have been more careful. >> what they have alleged here is not a crime. you cannot be guilty of involuntary manslaughter if youd had no awareness of the substantial risk that what you were doing could harm people. >> mr. baldwin knew he had a real gun in his hand. mr. baldwin specifically asked for the biggest gun that was available. mr. baldwin knew and understood that dummy rounds look identical to live ammunition. >> reporter: another motion to dismiss baldwin's case is scheduled to be considered on monday. he pleaded not guilty to the involuntary manslaughter charge and as of now, he's still scheduled to go to trial on july

9th. also yesterday the judge denied the prosecution's with request with to give immunity to the film's armorer. if she would have granted the request, it would have prevented the lawyers from using what she says at baldwin's trial against her in her own case. gutierrez reid was convicted in march for her role in hutchens' death, and she is currently appealing that conviction. griff? griff: christina coleman following all the twists and turns in this long, drawn-out trial. jacqui: how meat grown in a lab could soon show up on your dinner plate. not joking. that's coming up next. ♪ y thursday. help fuel today with boost high protein, complete nutrition you need... ...without the stuff you don't. so, here's to now. boost. sara federico: at st. jude, we don't care who cures cancer. we just need to advance the cure.

teen. that's manufactured -- protein. that's manufactured. i can't count the number of ingredients in something like that, but what i produce on my ranch has one ingredient. finish that's beef. and we're proud to produce that. and in my opinion, if you've answered the call to fight for our country, you deserve to eat the highest quality protein that americans know how to produce. me and 70000,000 -- 700,000 of my closest friends are proud to produce if bow for america, the world and particularly our servicemen and women. griff: the national cattlemen's beef association put a statement out. they said it's outrageous that the department of defense is spending millions of taxpayer dollars to feed our heroes like lab rats. in congress, the congress congressman from nebraska, don bacon, tweeting this out. he says: last week i proposed an

ndaa amendment to cut all dod funding for fake meat. nebraska is the beef state the leading in red meat prufnlings our farmers and ranchers can feed our military. we don't need this petri dish proif teen. the military needs to fund weapons, not fake meat. his amendment to cut that funding failed. your reaction. >> yeah. let's spend that money on military readiness. let's spend that money on insuring that people in america, particularly servicemen and women, have access to high quality protein. we know how to produce that two phone, we do it -- protein, we do it every day, and we're proud to do it so let us do it. i just don't see a need, i don't see this as a great idea moving forward. we're, again, we're happy to produce the highest quality protein in the world, and we do it with virtually no carbon footprint. we think we strengthen the environment when we produce meat on a daily basis.

griff: well, it's interesting, you mentioned the carbon footprint part of that because a study the found that lab grown meat's carbon footprint if potentially is worse than retail beef. cultured meat is not inherently better for the environment according to u.s. of california-davis. university of california-davis. someone else who thinks this is a bad idea is florida governor ron desantis who recently banned lab grown meat in florida citing threats to agriculture. and of all people, strange bedfellows here, senator fetterman jumped onboard behind the florida governor. here's what he tweeted. he says this: pains me deeply to agree with crash and burn ron, but i'd cosign this as a member of the senate ag dems and as some dude who would never serve that slop to my kids, i stand with our american ranchers and farmers. so here you have a array of members of congress, others that are saying we done like this,

but yet they're going to continue to do it. i wonder, what that do ranchers like yourself feel when you think about this actually threatening your livelihood in this is what you've been doing in many cases in generations for a living. >> yeah. i mean, this stuff isn't -- we haven't seen lab grown meat in grocery stores yet, but let's be honest, probably coming. finish when it does, we're happy to compete with that as long as we see fair and accurate labels for our consumer so that they can clearly discern the difference between what we produce, which is real beef, and what's grown in a lab. they need to be able to see that difference. but when they do, we're happy to, we're happy to know that on a taste a basis, on a flavor basis and a consistency basis i think, i think we always are able to compete better. we pride ourselves on providing a high quality eating experience to our consumers.

[laughter] griff: well, let me tell you, in full disclosure, i would agree the experience of a usda, dry-aged prime new york strip is a good one in my case. and so i wonder, are you being polite about the spirit of competitiveness because you also have some confidence in the strength of capitalism that people won't compare that slop, as senator ferreterman says -- fetterman says, to the real deal? >> well, again, i'm all about a free market, but let 'em compare it. you enjoy the u usda prime new york steak last night, and i don't know if you can replicate that in a laboratory. i don't think you can rememberly candidate that in a petri dish, and i'm pretty confident that even if they tried, it's just not going to -- griff: i'll be the guinea pig if as an objective journalist.

we'll do a taste test perhaps whenever it's out there. meanwhile, i think you're probably going to be safe, but we're going if to continue to follow it. it's very interesting that it's being considered at the pentagon as well. no war fighter i know would give up a fresh, real piece of meat as dinner. rocky forseth, thank you very much for your time. >> thank you. jacqui: i'm going to stay on the beef forever train. i couldn't even get on to the team tofu -- [laughter] i'll leave that one to you. trump expected the speak soon at the faith and freedom conference. that's coming up next. we'll bring you there.prov ♪ ♪ yay - woo hoo! ensure, with 27 vitamins and minerals, nutrients for immune health. and ensure complete with 30 grams of protein.

originally expected to last about 8 days, but now the astronauts won't be back on earth until at least july, and this is boeing's first crewed mission. engineers really taking the time to study the issues. the starliner has small helium leaks and thruster problem, but experts say this is not too concerning. nasa says the starliner is, overall, performing well in orbit while docked at the international space station. one retired nasa astronaut says it's important to be extra cautious. >> some problems going on, none of them show stoppers. butch and sonny should be able to get into their vehicle and come back safely, shouldn't be any problems, but this is the first flight of the starliner and, you know, the first flight of any vehicle you're going to be a little extra cautious, which is what you're seeing here. >> reporter: the two astronauts on this mission that he just mentioned are retired navy captains sonny williams and butch willmore.

while their mission is a lot longer than expected, nasa a says williams and willmore have completed a lot at the iss so far. the commercial crew program manager says they're strategically using this extra time completing critical station activities and really getting to the source of any problem so that future astronauts won't have to deal with the issues. and when the two astronauts eventually do make it back the earth, they're expecting to land at the white sands space harbor in new mexico. again, no exact date on that yet. back to you. jacqui: quite a thing, to get stuck in space. madison, thank you very much. ♪ griff: a russian bomb attack killing at least three in kharkiv today, this as russia unleash ared a massive attack on ukrainian energy facilities last night. stephanie bennett is live with the very latest. hey, stephanie. >> reporter: yeah, ukraine's energy ministry says this is the

eighth attack in the last three month on energy infrastructure facilities across the country. now, the ukrainian air force has some statistics of this all unfolding in the last 4 hours. they say -- 24 hours. they say their air defense systems shot down 12 of 16 missiles and all 13 drones launched by russia across several regions throughout the night. this afternoon officials in kharkiv said three people were killed and at least eighteen were injured with at least four explosions heard across the city. the strikes are causing blackouts across the country, and ukraine's president said russia has destroyed half of his country's electricity-generating capacity since march. to combat this, kyiv's forces are targeting russian oil facilities with drone strike, and to help support ukraine, the white house says it will rush delivery of air interceptor missiles by redistricting planned shipments to other ally nations although they wouldn't say which nations would be impacted. meanwhile, president putin met with the north korean leader,

absent is a crowd. so that's going to change the dynamics, i think, of what we'll be seeing. griff: and it'll be fascinating to hear what the former president has to say. i believe he was just being introduced by ralph reid, of course, the founder of the christian can coalition. and no one more than ralph reid has been more instrumental in discerning in every election cycle going back more than a quarter century as to what matters most to voters of faith. in their convictions. and so these remarks may be, although you hear familiar songs that have played at a rallies, you may hear a little bit of a tailored set of remarks here here to strike right at the issues that matter most to the christian voters. jacqui: and it's going to be interesting to hear what he talks about. i assume he's going to comment on the louisiana decision to display the ten commandments in schools. he tweeted -- or posted on truth social about that yesterday in

support of it. the issues including abortion, difficult sometimes for republicans to get a cohesive message on. here he is taking the podium. let's listen to what the former president has to say. >> thank you very much. thank you, thank you very much. and i'm delighted to be here at faith and freedom coalition's road to majority, what a big deal, that rad to the majority -- road to the majority conference. it's a big event and there's a lot of people outside wanting to get in if anyone would like to give up their location. [laughter] please raise your hand immediately. this is my ninth time speaking at this event, and i would not miss it for anything. you know, we have a biggal arely tonight in philadelphia -- rally tonight, so somebody said they got a little bit confused they had me speaking here and there, so somebody foolishly canceled here. and when i heard about it, i said, wait a minute, what are you doing? we canceled faith and freedom? if i said i don't have the

courage to do that. i'll do it during the day which is actually even better, if you want to know the truth, and we'll do the rally later. [cheers and applause] i don't have the courage to do that. not to you and not to ralph reid. but i want to thank ralph reid for his extraordinary leadership along with eggtive director tim head -- ec delaware director, tim head. thanks also to congressman, he's fantastic, barry loudermilk. he's here someplace. [applause] he's here someplace. he's doing a fantastic job with all of the things. they said he walked through with russian spies or something like that. he turned -- they turned out to be constituents, young children. these people are sick. former congressman and a man who's heading up new york for us, lee zeldin. he's fantastic.

thank you, kristi. thank you, darling. rnc chairman michael whatley, he's doing a great job. [applause] although i'll tell you about that right after the 5th. i'll tell you about the 6th. but i think he will be incredible. he comes from good stock. comes from north carolina, and they didn't -- [cheers and applause] they didn't have any votes stolen in north carolina. that's why i say he's the guy, he watched that voter fraud more than anybody. friend of mine, a man who got me involved in this whole deal. not this one, i mean, like eight a years ago he thought we could do something, and we played around with it and i said, one day, let's go, corey, let's do it, corey lewandowski. thank you, corey. thank you. he's a good man.

so i appreciate it very much. tiffany justice. one of the best names i've heard in a long time. [laughter] most importantly, let me say a special thanks to the gigantic grassroots movement of volunteers who will power the faith and freedom coalition, and i know they're going to be very much involved during the election period. it used to be one day, now it's, you know, two months. [laughter] it used to start like election day meant election day, now it means two and a half months before the election begins, it starts. but it starts, actually, pretty much on september 6th. that's north carolina, pennsylvania's -- think of that. so september 6th. pennsylvania's september 22nd, and we have to get out there. we have to vote. we have to make sure that that everything's honest. and and you keep your eyes open. you know, you're the police in a way. you can police your vote. a lot of people don't know that. just make sure that vote counts. we have to make sure it counts

because if i knew there was not going to be corruption, if i knew that the everything would be honorable and honest as it should be, i'd stop campaigning right now. we have this thing won. i would immediately stop campaigning. i'd go and relax. [applause] i'd call up the -- off the big rally in philadelphia, i'd say is, it's not necessary. don't worry about it. everyone go home and relax. no organization does more. you are truly, and i mean, indispensable. this is a great group of people, and you're warriors in the truest sense, and you know what we have to do. because we're not going to have a country left if we don't do it, that that's for sure. [applause] this year you will knock on 10 million doors, reach 18 million christian voters and register 1 million new voters across 130,000 churches. [cheers and applause] and i hope you can put the lock boxes in the churches because that's what you should be doing.

you should have be having lock boxes. you know, these boxes that they cheat with so badly, you should put them in your churches because, you know, the evangelicals and the christians, they don't vote as much as a they should. i don't know if you know that, you know? they go to church every sunday, but they don't vote. and we have to make sure they vote. just this time. because all you have to do is this time. [laughter] you don't have to worry about it because we're going to straighten it out very fast. just this time. go vote. but, you know, they have a -- it's very interesting, the nra gave me a very big endorsement, and we're talking about it and gun owners don't vote very much. i'm saying, this is just statistically. we have to get people that own guns to go and vote. if you own a rifle, you want to keep your rifle, you better go vote because the second amendment is under siege, and you have to vote. who would have known that? i think it's sort of a protest, you're so angry about what's happening. but this is other years, gun

owners -- over years, gun owners don't vote much. relatively speaking, not that much. and christians go to church, but they don't vote that much. do you know the power you have if you would vote? it wouldn't even be -- so you've got to get out and vote just a this time. i don't care -- in four years you don't have to vote, okay? [laughter] [applause] in four years, don't vote. i don't care. [laughter] but we'll have it all stranged out, so it'll be much different. of course, they'll come in again and ruin it, and then we'll come back and say you have to go vote. working side by side, we're going to defeat crooked joe biden, we're going to defend our values -- [cheers and applause] and we're going to make america great again. [cheers and applause] and this will be the most important election in the history of our country. i believe that. i used to say it 2016. we had a border that was bad. the border was bad, but it was, like, i call it peanuts. peanuts to what we have now. that was a great border.

if we had that border now, it would be, like, great. it was really bad but it was just a tiny fraction of what it is now. now it's the worst it's ever been. i would say it's the worst border anywhere of any country anywhere in the world at a any time. in less than four years, joe biden has obliterated the borders of the united states. we don't have borders. [applause] we don't have borders. we don't is elections that are proper. we don't have anything. and you know what we want with elections, we want paper ballots, same-day voting, voter id -- [applause] and we want to insure that people are citizens. little thing. a little thing like let's make sure you're a citizen, right? [applause] they're bringing these people in, they're trying to get these people registered to vote. they don't speak a word of english, most of them, and they comeif all over the world. that's what they're doing. they said there's only a few things. they're stupid -- well, they're not stupid. nobody could cheat that well if they were stupid. they're not stupid. then the others, they hate our

country. that could be. that could be. but the third thing is they want to register people to vote. that's, i think, what they have in mind. we have to be very careful, and that's what michael whatley will do the job, suzie whiles who's here right now, she'll do a good job, and lara will do the job, lara trump, who's fantastic. [applause] she's fantastic. but crooked joe wrecked our economy -- jacqui: we are out of time in our hour. we're going to have to hand it over now, "fox news live" continuing with molly line and eric shawn. griff: tst it's been great to be with you. we will see you later, "fox news live" does continue. i'm griff jenkins. jacqui: and i'm jacqui heinrich -- griff: thanks for i am sure this scoop is not particularly
