eric: let's bring in dan heninger, bill mcgurn, bill, how strong is the case against hunter? >> the case is very strong. three felony counts, lying about being a user, lying to a licensed gun dealer, possessing a gun illegally. he had 11 days, he would have more if haley biden hadn't founded and gotten rid of it. eric: you think the evidence is strong. critics say, people aren't usually charged for this kind of crime and if hunter weren't the president's son, he wouldn't be charged. >> talk to andy mccarthy, federal prosecutor, he says they are conflating that with cases, you didn't charge, he got the gun, was reckless with the gun and so forth, it's a fair trial. something has gone on with georgetown, bill clinton famously didn't understand what the word is meant when they asked if he was carrying on with monica lewinsky. hunter biden's lawyers are making the same argument. it depends what is meant when you say that. he didn't identify as a drug addict. but there is all texts. there's text about drug dealers after he got the gun. eric: the prosecution called haley biden his

bill mcgurn, thank you as always for joining us today. always a pleasure. take a look at markets and always treading water and bring in jason katz who joins us. we likely will not get rate cuts this year. and i'm hearing that more and more now as the year progresses and what do you think that that does to overall markets and are the markets coming to accept even though they don't want to and may not be a pus here. >> yeah, honestly, i don't think it translates going for that and the markets going to absorb the fact going to get rate cuts and we came into this year and seeing six cuts and none of the s&p done and going up over 13%. i simply wouldn't be alarmed when we get rate cuts till next year and rate cuts aren't if it's when. it's going to be a matter of time. ashley: stu says every time and we talked earlier in the show, nothing wrong in maybe getting into treasuries and, you know, 5% return while, you know, you take a bit of a breather and let this sort itself out. >> well, on high quality returns and going to take on incremental money equity-like ris

. >> dana: bill mcgurn says taking down judge cannon, if she preferred to jack -- we would probably have a very different conversation if that were the case, john. also the supreme court has some pretty big cases remaining that they will decide in the next week or maybe a little bit more if it goes past. let's put them on the board for everybody to see. presidential immunity, january 6th obstruction charges, biden administration social media censorship. the fishermen fighting federal power and abortion, emergency, these are big, controversial topics. how will things go over the next few days? >> the most important one for what we were just talking about are the two cases involving president trump. one about whether he has immunity from criminal prosecution by this very justice department. if that came out in trump's favor that might wipe out the case before judge cannon. the other case about the perk test whether the justice department went too far in prosecuting them with a law not designed for that. a lot of cases is question the judgment of this justice department. i agree with them.

byron, i want to switch topics talk about my pal bill mcgurns column today, lefties are beating up onou, there is no doubt, at least in my mind sir, that empirical evidence shows with clarity that the lbj great society and subsequent massive expansion of the welfare state which is continued through obama and joe biden has harmed the black family and the white family. i mean he goes through this, thomas so well written about this. jason riley. other folks talked about, brad wilcox, charles murray. you said this in a philadelphia meeting. they all start beating up on you. how can anybody deny what you said was correct? >> well, larry, thank you for asking about that. it is interesting all of the people who have issues with what i said in philadelphia, they never talked about the substance. they talked about their feelings associated with one of the great tragedies in american history which is jim crow. i think also a lot of the critics, they don't want to acknowledge jim crow was a, was a era ushered in by democrat politicians in the south who still wanted to seg a gate and subjugate bl

bush speechwriter bill mcgurn, thank you for being here.u, this is going to be a campaign issue, no doubt about it, there is a chronic lack of affordable housing that this country, people are struggling not only with buying the american dream but also being able to afford the rent. should the fed play a bigger role in this, how big of a role do you think this will be as part of the campaign. >> i think the fed can marginally affect the prices of housing but on old-fashioned it is supply and demand. the problem we have now is a huge demand for housing. there is limited supply, what is it limited by, yes, interest rates are very high right now but it is also limited by a law or regulation on land use, what kind of house you can build and it's not a coincidence that the areas that have fewer regulation and allow more housing to be built putting downward pressure on prices and make it easier for people to get a start in the housing market. ashley: david, bill brings up that point, regulations in california is another example of the amount of co

let's bring in our panel, "wall street journal" columnists dan dan henninger bill mcgurn and editorialember kyle peterson. kyle, you followed this trial very closely. did alvin bragg just follow the facts and the law? >> well, the truth is that this case was profoundly political from the start, and this would not be a case that would be brought against any other businessman who engaged in some kind of business records thing seven years ago, i think. and you can see that in the closing arguments when the prosecutors says this is election fraud, more or less, that this is what might have decided the 2016 election and made donald trump the president president. i do think maybe the defense could have taken a different tack by stipulating that there was some sort of affair with stormy daniels and preempting her testimony or much of it from coming in even though the judge seems to have lost control of her as a witness, and that could be another potential avenue of appeal for the president -- paul: because there was prejudicial testimony brought in. >> correct. and the trump team could argue

is that is scary, joining us fox news contributor and former chief president spooch writer bill mcgurnyou. >> good morning, steve. >> steve: do you buy into that axios story some top democrats are thinking they don't get it. >> i get it. i think it would be better if joe biden were concentrating on inflation, the border. things people care about. our standing in the world. the problem is he has a terrible record. and that's compounded by the way he tends to try to sell it. on the economy, for a long time, they denied inflation. then they talked about their achievements, you know, and they did it in a way that said you're not smarted enough to preach the just how smart and successful joe biden is. and so i think there is resistance to that i don't think he has a good alternative. you know when eggs are up 50% over what they were when he came into office, gas prices are up, i don't see a lot out there for him to talk about. >> when we look at the brand new fox poll that came out. these are things extremely important to vote on. 68% of those responding said future of democracy followed by

let's bring in "wall street journal" columnist bill mcgurn and federal prosecutor, former federal prosecutor katie cherkasky joins us. thank you both so much for joining us. tonight we're taking a deep dive into what is not debated or talked about enough. bill and katie, the aggressive, unprecedented democrat attacks to go after trump and stop him. it started even before he was elected in 2016. you know, any le, rational person would see the problem here is that in america you are innocent until proven guilty. democrats did not abide by that. by the way, we're neither here nor there about a trump. we've just been saying for months the see the truth of what's been happening and how aggressively historically this was, take the name trump out. take the names of democrats out to see clearly what really happened. bill, first to you, what do you think of this this? >> yeah, i think that's right. it reminds me, there was a movie in the if '600s, it's a mad, mad world -- '60s -- and it was about all these star-studded people going around the country searching for this pile of money. i think that's k

a lot of people, we had bill mcgurn on in the first hour, a lot of people don't pay attention to thesidential horse race until after labor day so they're not engaged so what the biden camp hopes is there are a lot of low-information voters who they're not watching right now. they're looking at their phone every once in a while. and what they're banking on essentially is they're hoping for a viral moment during the debate, which is going to be on cnn a week from today and you'll see it here on fox as well, some moment that goes viral so that it will be like, oh, look what joe biden did there. by the same token, if he freezes up like we've seen, that's going to become a thing. it's a double edged sword but that's what they're thinking. finally they' get some tracks with the people who are not engaged >> lawrence: steve don't you think that's a terrible strategy? i would contend this is not an election of information, it's an election of reality. people are concerned about what they live on a day-to-day basis and what impacts -- you don't have to watch the news to see what's happening i
