the dnc denied footing the bill in a statement today. so they are still talking about this, quote.s not spend a single penny on legal bills unlike donald trump who actively solicits legal fees from his supporters and drawn down every account he can get his hands on. they can't do it without mentioning his name and the scandal is rocking. >> this seems to me like an admission by the folks that you just heard from on that side of some type of coordinated effort to purposefully run up donald trump's legal bills by use of law fair, intentionally trying to run up the man's legal bills to make this claim. at the same time they are doing the same thing for joe biden, who, by the way, his lawyers did a great job for him. i hope they get paid every dime because it was well worth it to avoid criminal charges related to all the classified documents found if his garage going back to his time when he was in the united states senate, for crying out loud. if ever there was a case that screamed for criminal prosecution it is that one. for those lawyers to be able to not get any kind of recommendat

the dnc needs to take it head-on >> robert f. kennedy is a problem for america as a candidate. >> jeff sally, what, what do you make of the argument that he made? and, how will that play from where you're hearing it that he was saying that you could make the argument he was making the argument that joe biden could be a greater threat to democracy than donald trump, even though he said that what donald trump did on january was wrong i look his point there was because of social media as daniel was saying, that he argues that he was blocked >> from social media, but listening to that, that is not something that certainly would resonate with most democratic disaffected democratic voters. so that's sounds like and gives credence to the idea that yes he is going to take supporters potentially from both sides. that's a very much more of a republican or trumpian message, if you will. but aaron, i think one of the things that struck me when you talk to democrat to truly are upset and et discussed it a disappointed at this administration.

than $1.5 million to lawyers or firms that were representing biden and that is all according to the dncancial filings here with reaction fox news legal analyst gregg jarrett the harvard law professor's former harvard law professor alan dershowitz although i'm not sure if he wants to be introduced that way anymore maybe he should just be introduced as the author of get trump because that's what this is about anyway good to see you both jury selection on monday we've all read the questionnaire, do you listen to talk radio do you watch fox news , gregg jarrett i guess anyone who says i listen to sean hannity's radio show and i watch him on tv on fox, why do i think that person will it merely be excluded from the jury. >> they absolutely will and look politics is going to pay a predominant role in this case because it is a liquid charged case so trump's lawyer if i'm him i would love to have law enforcement on the jury i would love to have people who have had a bad experience with the legal system those of the people they'll be looking for all of these indictments though have a common denom

guess they say imitation is the highest form of flattery and i must have a lot of fans over at the dncat's amazing is whenever they have a candidate who has the lowest approval rating of any incumbent in history and zero accomplishments to tout, this is where the dnc was put in their focus on an ai generated song to somehow mock me which as you said wasn't even funny. why did they go ai? is a hollywood and the music industry in with the dnc could not have gone one of their people to record a song? it is really amazing to see this thing happen in here's what i know, they are terrified and have nothing to show for their candidate and if they were to go with ai, they should have done an ai version of joe biden that would've been better than the real thing for them but we are doing amazingly well at the rnc and i will tell them they may want to sit down and get ready for our fundraising numbers and they had three presidents took to raise $25 million last night when all we need is one. chi can report tonight this coming weekend, we have pledged $33 million to be donated to the rnc and the t

i must have a loet of fans over at the dnc. well, it's amazing is that whenever they have a candidatede who has the lowest approval rating of any incumbent in history and zero accomplishments to tout thist, is where the dnc was putting their focus on in generateded sn song to somehow mock me, as you said, wasn't even funny. why did they go? why is it hollywood and the music industry and with the dnc, they couldn'twood a have gotten one of their people to record a song. not is amazing to see this sory of thing happen. and here's what zingi know, sea. they are terrified. they have nothing to show forhe their candidate. if they were going to go with a.i., maybe they should have just done ay i versiowethnt of joe biden. that would have been better than the real thini vers joeg f. but we are doing amazingly well at the rnc. c i will tell them they may want to sit down and get read ty foru our march fundraising numbers. and they had three presidentss it tooank to raise $25 million last week. all we nee milliond is one. i can report t

they were planning this big disruption for the dnc.policy, we're not going to vote for him. >> right. >> ultimately come the first tuesday in november what are those voters going to do. >> i'm not so sure. i don't think they know either. i think t are trying to figure t out. i don't know what they will do if their pressure campaign fails. >> steve: olivia ryan gold who was in the room. thank you for your reporting. >> thanks. >> steve: day two of former president trump's hush money trial in manhattan. the media verdict already in. >> i mean, this really is a fundamentally buffoonish person. >> he seemed bored and fidgety. >> he looks small in that photo a little rough in that photo i think it's fair to say. >> steve: rnc chair lara trump coming up on "fox & friends" live from new york. ♪ there she goes again ♪ choosing a treatment for your chronic migraine - 15 or more headache days a month, each lasting 4 hours or more - can be overwhelming. so, ask your doctor about botox®. botox® prevents headaches in adults with chronic migraine be

>> this is the worst jury pool that trump could pool unless you took everyone at the dnc headquarters. it is as bad a pool as you can get. that doesn't mean that they throw up their hands. they are not going to try to find someone who likes trump dreher there's not many people available that that that description in manhattan. what they are looking for is someone who is independent, maybe a little feisty. jury advisors looking for people that have great conviction and confidence. they may dislike trump, but you want people who like the law of more. that is what you are really looking for. you are looking for what i call a trojan juror. these are jurors who will live to get into a high-profile case, and they will be hiding within them, bias and past conduct that they won't reveal. that you can often find out through social media. there is a lot of work that's in they have to be done in the nex. >> john: correct me if i am wrong, you have suggested if you are counseling trump's attorneys, you would suggest to them that they could instruct the jury that they can convict on a lesser offen

the dnc chair said there won't be debate and silence and censor him. he is now running as an independent. he took votes away from joe biden. in a five-way race nationally and all swing states. cornell, stein, kennedy and biden and trump. so far the candidates are not taking away from donald trump. may i say the so-called no labels in january said we have seven weeks and 14 candidates are out of time. they have a lot of money and out of time and no candidates. they were trying to stop trump. i hope some of them will come over and support trump. >> harris: when you is a i the democratic party ejected r.f.k. junior it's phenomenal what has happened. they had to have seen that a kennedy -- i said this from the very beginning. a kennedy would carry some portion of the party just out of curiosity for people on the left. and now it's more than that because immigration is number one. biden has united everybody in the country against his border policy. he has done that yoonfication. let's get to this. former clinton strategist was talking about biden's youth vo

the dnc reported the expenses to the fec but described the payments as legal services as mr.h the nda. fec fined them for the deception. under mr. bragg's theory it should count as criminal election interference. what do you make of that? >> hard to see a lot of difference. we have talked about the steele dossier for many years and it is a fact that the clinton campaign and the democratic national committee commissioned the dossier and then the author of the dossier tried to get it into the media bloodstream and it did get into the media bloodstream and dominated a lot of trump's presidency in the early years. this was something bought and paid for and falsely reported to the federal election commission by the clinton campaign and dnc. in 2022 they were ordered to pay a $113,000 fine. which they did. the most important thing for our discussion, nobody was indicted. nobody was charged with any criminal conduct here. they paid the fine and it was over. here you have donald trump, who the prosecutors say engaged in a criminal conspiracy to corrupt the 2016 election and then cove

what the dnc is doing is because we're talking about it. trying to drive up a lot of media coverage. so that that's how the message gets out. nobody is going to see the billboards except they're going to see them on tv and that they're in clever places. but i think the more important thing kate is, how this wage, or how does battle will be waged against rfk? this is going to be overwhelmingly through the media and especially through digital. and they just brought on it the dnc, liz smith and old campaign pro. i know liz. she's an assassin. >> and if i'm if i'm rfk junior, i'm >> pretty worried about having her down my neck. >> he is she is she would love that moniker, knowing less no question about it. looking forward to seeing her back in it. >> this adds to an >> overall question i wanted they asked asked you, jim because there's a lot there is growing concern amongst some about rfk junior pulling votes from joe biden >> you've got >> pulls out saying joe biden is down in six. trump is beating him in six of seven battleground states today

. >> lucas: many critics say it is pretty rich considering how often biden campaign and dnc mocked the rnc for picking up legal bills for donald trump. that is what happened, biden campaign was paying to get legal bills into the classified documents case. here is report from july of 2023 to february of 2024, dnc paid 1.05 to bob bower, professional l limit liability attorney for bob bower, lead attorney for handling special counsel probe including bringing on veteran lawyer david lofland. new round of loan -- 7.4 billion for 277,000 students, bringing this up to grand total of 153 billion and here is white house press secretary yesterday. >> save plan is helping millions of people who earn less than $15 per hour have a monthly payment of 0 and helping some borrowers get their debt cancelled further. lucas tomlinson n >> lucas: new fox news poll for gen-zers, more young people support donald trump, 18% more. student relief debt payment is way to get the youth vote and we remember when president biden boasted he was going around the supreme court. >> brian: military pay for your educatio

the dnc has been aggressively battling kennedy's campaign, including paying for a billboard truck to circle his campaign events and the dnc has hired liz smith, a democratic operative to run an aggressive communications effort to oppose third-party candidates through opposition research and legal challenge quote underscoring how important democrats view the effort is being overseen by mary beth cahill and ramsey reid to veteran dnc insiders who have already started issuing rare public statements, rebuking robert f. kennedy jr. trump has also been critical of rfk jr. but until the launch of the aforementioned website, it seemed kinda half-hearted as if he were doing just enough to give the appearance of opposing kennedy without too much concentration but overnight, trump suddenly went scorched earth on truth, social calling, rfk a democrat, a plant, a radical left liberal who has been put in place in order to help crooked joe biden and adding shockingly, i'd even take biden over junior. so why this sudden attention from trump because according to three new national polls, the election

hate against america at a conference held by the march on the dnc coalition.his reaction to word of iran's first direct attack ever against israel. [chanting] >> hands off iran, hands off iran. hands off iran. >> harris: garrett tenney live in chicago with more. as i said, some of it is free speech and some of it is illegal. >> yeah, those chants surprising to say the least about not attacking iran came at a conference of pro-palestinian groups meeting here in chicago to talk about their plans to disrupt the democratic national convention in august. you will see in this video we're about to show you when news broke iran was attacking israel on saturday this crowd of several hundred people started cheering. >> iran has just responded about 30 minutes ago. [cheers and applause] >> there are reports of drones having been fired on israel from yemen and iraq as well. [cheers and applause] >> all of the anti-war committees here, all of the palestinian support coalitions here must be ready immediately to be out in the streets and to stop the u.s. from expanding this

a new report the dnc ran a focus group to understand why voters don't like the vice president.s just brutal. several were rubbed the wrong way by the way she laughs and you know what? i think they have a point. >> you think you fell out of a coconut tree? [ laughter ] [ laughter ] >> it comes in the morning. [ laughter ] >> democrats in the focus group also question if joe biden actually likes harris. watch out five -- kamala. it looks like aoc is moving in on your turf. she praised her during an earth day event. >> i learned a long time ago to listen to that lady. >> what did he say? [ simultaneous talking ] >> he should be able to do that for the press office should. what he said is i listen to the lady and she makes a lot of sense. i will keep going. it's actually driving me crazy that the white house expects us to be the interpreters for what he is saying and they say to us he's been very clear. absolutely no, he hasn't. he goes on the earth day event in virginia and he takes the congresswoman from new york instead of surrounding himself by fishermen and hunters in virginia

another chicago dnc? con>> i don't think they care. i think they are ignorant.hey will go out in the street in chicago and replay 196 #. they don't care how they appear to the americans. remember, after october 7th. before the israeli armed forces went in on october 20th, 2021st. they were doing. this they were cheering on the mutilation, the decapitation, the mass rape and mass murder. this is a very different movement. this is a death cult. and i think people are -- have had it. they are sick of the blockades, occupying bridges, desis he creating religious services. occupying saint patrick's cathedral. they have had it up to here. it's going to hurt joe biden. and he's playing into it by privileging 250,000 voters in michigan. >> laura: i don't think this is going well for them at all. victor, thank you, as always. we're going to continue to monitor what is happening at george washington university and across the country. but the father of a badly beaten teen is now suing the gilbert goons. that teen gang caught terrorizing southeast phoenix. he joins us next.

. >> dnc chair speaking out about the president.is donna brazile saying. >> the former head of the dnc saying biden does not speak much and when he does no one listens. that is an unbelievable comment. listen in. >> alex made a point that president biden does not talk about the war very often, should he? >> not to sit israel, ukraine, we are a superpower. he is the commander-in-chief. he should speak out more and we should cover what he saying because often when he speaks nobody listens. >> doesn't speak very much for heaven sake. >> when he does it's garbled or it's not authentic. it's very choreographed but the media does not cover biden is that true? >> that is nonsense. >> is a media cover trump. >> they try not to. >> we are six or seven months from an election when technically the media does not cover either candidate and they likely want to be each other. >> donna brazile is an obama person exercising on the sideline. thank you. next case, the market it is a monday morning everything is dead flat, the dow down nine, s&p down

the problem is a dnc is aug august 19. secretary of state in ohio is warning the dnc needs to move up a week with all of this planning were ohio needs to create an exception by next month. we will see what they do but he potentially could not be on the states ballot. >> they will figure something out. check futures, monday morning a big rally friday a little bit of green on a monday morning. jeff sica is with us today. can the bull market keep going if there's no rate cuts until after the summer or no rate cuts at all this year. >> it's as if retail investors and institutional investors are all wearing these colored eclipse viewing glasses because if you look at goldman sachs that just came out with statistics that 48% of household income in america right now is in equity and bank of america came out with a statistic that said the institutions have the low was level of cash since 2006. everybody is all in nobody wants to miss the party like nobody wants to miss seeing the clips today, no one wants to miss the stock market

>> well, on the campaign side, they held a press conference at the dnc headquarters directly addressing this with two police officers were at january 6th, and this is really a strategy that we have seen them use time and time again to really center democracy in their fight for 2024. this is something i think we will continue to hear, and particularly because biden voters continue to say they are voting more against trump than they are for biden. i think this is something that they are continuing to use the more that they talk about trump, the more they are going to hole in some members of their coalition who are right now threatening to stay home, or worried about the state of the economy, and this is exactly the kindest takes their trying to lay out. >> and we just put into perspective that we cannot look at this election like two peers running against one another? the former president posting an image of the current president tied up, and what does treat team trump do? they dismiss it. you got a judges daughter now being threatened, and time team trump is like, this is just the way it

they're trying to close the gap with biden and the dnc, which brought in $90 million last month. congressman caraballo, what is your assessment of trump's fundraising efforts? >> first, we'll have to see if others dollars are accounted for. this wouldn't be the first time the trump campaign exaggerated. we'll see about that. without question right now, democrats have a big fundraising advantage. one of the big problems trump as is that even though he did not have a very competitive primary, he was very aggressive with nikki haley with her donors. she had a lot of big donors in her corner. a lot of those people still don't feel comfortable getting behind donald trump. you can see perhaps some of those donors taking a pass on the presidential race and helping congressional republicans instead because there are a lot of people who are still turned off by donald trump and he needs these big fundraisers if he's going to catch up with the biden campaign. we all know that money is a big deal in politics. a lot of times, it's the number one predictor of which campaign is successful, whic

. >> jesse: he also said npr is basically the dnc in disguise. >> i got so frustrated with what i sawrent perspectives in our coverage. 8-7 registered republicans mike democrats -- if we are really thinking about diversity and our coverage. the response was -- it wasn't like, wow, we are going to change this a try and address this, more like, wow, that's weird. >> jesse: so, greg, we didn't see this coming but he came out and still works at npr. >> greg: good for him, i say. we knew this was true, but we were mocked when we would bring this up. 87 democrats and zero republicans as npr editor's. that says everything. 87-0. that is like the score when i smoke stevie wonder in pickleball. the media really needs dei. but it's of ideas and perspectives, which is the true test of diversity. how insulting is it, if they are hiring you for being black, as long as you are there kind of black. you have to think a certain way. the numbers of npr viewership are way down, basically a fraction of what they used to be, and i think they are getting slaughtered for this reason, but also because podcas

this may be a bit of a headache for candidate joe biden at the dnc if this is a preview of what is to come. mean what we are going to dive deeper into this in the next hour on the big show tonight. you can hear more about the organizer in chicago had to say. jon: it had to be astounding to be putting that piece together and just listen to some of this anti- americanism that's being spouted in one of the few countries they will actually let you speak your mind. >> you know, john, both of us old enough to remember all the way back to 911, never before in my adult life can i remember a time when anti- american rhetoric was so loud. you heard the chance that hands off iran w when anyone with comn sense knows it was iran that funds hamas and the horrific october 7 attack. it was iran that funds the proxies in lebanon, and syria. so what is happening now with israel defending itself is quite astounding to see. passions run high. speaking out peacefully in this country for years. to turn it into this death to america chance, that feels like a new thing. that should alarm everyone watching. j

under state haw, so i don't know how he gets on the ballot with their deadline are being before the dncst. stuart: fair enough, but i've got $10 says he'll be on -- lauren: yeah. stuart: thanks, lauren. check futures, please. this is a fast moving market situation. dow's off 440 but look at the nasdaq, down 1.5%, off nearly 300 points. whoa. >>> coming up, an editor at npr criticizes his own company's coverage of trump. watch this. enter we started -- >> we started covering trump in a way that, like a lot of legacy news organizations, that we were trying to damage his presidency. even to find anything we could the harm him. stuart: anything we could to harm him. good lord. the media is consumed with trump hatred. it's skewed their coverage then and it skews it today. former governor mike huckabee is all over that one later in the show. >>> president biden says netanyahu's approach to the war in gaza, quote, is a mistake. roll it. >> i think what he's doing is a mistake. i don't agree with his -- there's no excuse to not provide for the medical and the, and the food needs of those people

. >> greg: also saying npr isy basically the dnc and disguise. >> i got so frustrated with what i sawage and what i found was 87 registered democrats on her editorial staff zero republicans. something has gone wrong here. if we are really thinking about diversity and -- in our coverage. the response wasrage -- it wasnt like -- it wasn't like we arear going toe change this or try a address thisad it was more like that's weird. >> jesse: so we did not see this coming but i mean brave man, still works that npr. >> greg: good for him i say. we knew this was true but we were mocked when we would bringc keit up. i meanin 87 democrats and zero republicans as npr editor.blic that says everything. that's like the score when i smoked stevie wonder in pickle ball. the media really needs dei but it's of ideas and perspectives which is the true testament to diversity. how insulting is that if theyey are hiring you for being blackng as long as you are there kind of block. you have to think a certain way. the numbers of npr viewershipnu our way down. i mean they are basically like a fraction of what

>> well on the campaign side we saw the biden campaign hold a press conference at the dnc headquarters directly addressing this with two police officers who were at january 6 and this is really a strategy we have seen them use to really center democracy in their fight for 2024 and this is something i think we will continue to hear and particularly because biden voters continue to say they are voting more against trump than they are for biden. i think this is something that they are continuing to use. the more that they talk about trump the more that they are hoping to pull in some members of the coalition who are right now threatening to stay home, who are worried about the state of the economy and this is exactly the kind of stakes they are trying to lay out. >> george can we just put into perspective that we cannot look at this election like two peers running against each other. the former president posting an image of the current president tied up and what is the team trump do? they dismiss s it is no big deal. how far have we devolved? >> we have devolved a lot. this is -- the thre

she denied that trump won and on top of that she took all of the dnc's money from bernie. when we talk about watergate, there are plenty of democrats running around that have not been tried for anything. the last caller talked about abortion. i would like to ask him the important thing is the baby's life. what horrific crimes have babies committed that we give them the death penalty. that is more important than women's choices. they treat roe v. wade like our founding fathers put that in and an amendment. they did not. roe v. wade went back to the states because that is where they should be. gun rights are in the states and that should be a national law because it is an amendment. we have the right to carry his arms and it is not to be infringed upon. just like joe biden, he talks about and he ran for president because of the kkk and their tiki torches and they had throbbing veins and their next. why has biden turned tail on the jews and he supports the hamas people that have throbbing veins that are throwing cement cocktails and beating up our police. host: we got it. let

it's clever but it does go to the notion of a core argument that the dnc and the biden campaign has, which is who's >> funding this guy and isn't it just friends of donald trump, right? >> well, it's this person. they're referring to is i think tim mellon, who's given gobs of money to both rfk and to trump. and i think the point is that this is a guy who wants to hurt joe biden and look at who he's giving money to and he's not the only one you know, i think that's that's exactly the point that they're trying to make. that this is another effort by republicans to hurt biden and the campaign. this is not a candidate to be taken seriously, but i have seen some reporting that there is concern among republicans that rfk could hurt trump as well with his antiviral vaccine positions, some of his libertarian position. so i think it's still a little bit unclear who he's more of a spoiler for, but that's obviously not the point. the dnc's trying to make, but i think what there but i think what this does show while they're not considering a serious candidate, they are taking him as a serious th

. >> reporter: the dnc paying for these billboards there in michigan. later, donald trump held a rally in wisconsin where he repeated misleading claims about winning the state. mr. trump did win in wisconsin back in 2016. but in 2020, he lost to president biden by more than 20,000 votes. overnight, wisconsin voters did approve two republican-backed ballot measures, which will change how elections are run in the state. one measure bans the use of private donations for the administrative side of elections. and the other rule narrows the definition of an election worker. supporters say they want to limit outside influence on their elections, while critics say these rules are based off of false claims and they will only create new hurdles for the elections this fall. >> as if we couldn't have more new hurdles, brie, thank you. >>> a city official in oklahoma with ties to white nationalists has been oust netherlands a re ousted in a recall vote. blevins lost to patterson. patterson is a republican, but even prominent democratic activists also celebrated her

that's a huge total and comes as the biden campaign and dnc already had a huge cash advantage over formerresident trump. the campaign was boosted this month by two big fundraisers. biden got a huge grassroots fundraising search after the fiery state of the union address early last month. he also hosted a kind of star-studded fundraiser with former president clinton and former president barack obama last month in new york that brought in $25 million and what the campaign said was the largest political fundraiser of all time. this weekend, the trump campaign hosted a fundraiser at his home in mar-a-lago where his campaign said he raised $50 million. that's obviously a massive total and is crucial to the trump campaign fundraising, but as i said, they have been lagging the biden campaign and d&c in fundraising, so it will certainly give the campaign a boost and send a strong message that the wealthy republican donors are starting to line up behind trump. >> you mentioned two kinds of fundraising, grassroots fundraising and the big dollar star-studded events. does one campaign do more of the

. >> there's a reason why the democrats, the biden campaign, the dnc is, has established and assembledle to deal with third party candidates, particularly rfk jr. junior of course, they're worried some democrats i talked to say they're not worried enough about cornell west, although it's a question about how many ballots he's going to get. because he truly will take away and he's not going to take away from he's not very many, very many trump voters right? >> but the fact that these two poles shows an even sort of an even split is very telling. and i think i'd love to know more about it, but there's one issue where historic trump's supporters are really mad at him. and that is covid. and the fact that he supported the to the vaccine and you know, what, what do we know about rfk junior? he is a rapid and rabid anti-vaxxer? yeah. no, for sure >> lance can i ask you about this >> because i'm curious what you think trump is doing here when he talks about rfk being liberal because i have to say the narrative i hear from my sources it's a little different that frankly the trump folks think t

where do you think this stands mean, how would you evaluate the dnc? he's and the efforts to tamp down these campaign. >> well, i mean, look, i think >> it's smart for the dnc to do this. i think the democrats need to be aggressive about not letting kennedy go undefined and unchecked throughout the race. i don't think that president biden needs to engage robert kennedy directly, but i do think this is the kind of thing they should be doing. they should be spending money on making sure that people know they uerstand that there t isn't a world in which robert f. kennedy is going to be president united states. he's not ing to win eugh ecral votes to be presidt. and si thinwhat is helpeople underand, is running education campaign. essentially to help people rsta that a vote for robe knedy a vote for to put someone else in the e white house. so i think it' smart for them to do this. we knowhis is goingbe a close ce. wenow third party candidates have potential to swing battleground states. and so for them to sit back and just give kennedy a free pass, i thin

is johns of ever becoming president by uh, using the dnc against a candidate like sizes. i think uh, bernie sanders. it was, it was a candidate within the democratic party would have been a great candidate for labor and had a lot of labor backing and was probably the most pro labor candidate that, that i've seen in my lifetime, who also had a viable chance of winning the democratic nomination, the problem again with 3rd party candidates, the united states of america is that unless they have a viable chance of winning, all you do is cut down a support to, to the candidate closest to your side. so there's, there's problems with the design of the american electoral system that make it very hard for 3rd party candidates to be viable. sources of power for you just to support is another problem. but given biden's of our choice for keynesian militarism growth in the us economy depends on the proxy war through ukraine, on sending billions of dollars of worth of weapons to israel, to kill in gaza. the necessarily, the big trade unions are going to be representing the weapons indus
