>> thank you, sandra.d first remind everyone that under presi president biden we had a civilian aid worker strike during the disgraceful withdraw from afghanistan. that killed seven children and three humanitarian workers. it was an awful mistake that our service members made, and clearly this was a terrible mistake on the part of the idf, but let's save a bit of the public righteous indignation when it comes to our ally clearly making the mistake that is very different than what hamas has historically done with deliberately targeting, kill, and torture civilians number one, number two, it's just sad to me that i think through purely political reasons so much of the buyer of this white house is going on to the shoulders of the israelis that i think are doing everything they can to avoid civilian casualties, fighting an enemy that is deliberately sacrificing its people in order to turn world opinion against israel and to watch this administration publicly play right into their hands is incredibly frustratin

so sandra -- >> sandra: really sharp! was an excellent student. i approved this wrong. i'm obviously a smith. i was a great student, i got great grades. >> jesse: is smith your maiden name? >> sandra: yes. >> jesse: you didn't take your husband's name? >> tyrus: that's on "the slowest," this is "the fastest." >> tyrus: i was murdock, middle-of-the-road, but also -- that's a lot. >> harold: emily c and harold, we were at the top of the class. >> tyrus: are you saying you didn't get by on merit? you got your deis? jesse and i, we earned our stripes. >> harold: ""fan mail friday"" is up next. ♪ ♪ life, diabetes, there's no slowing down. each day is a unique blend of people to see and things to do. that's why you choose glucerna to help manage blood sugar response. uniquely designed with carbsteady. glucerna. bring on the day. kayak. no way. why would i use kayak to compare hundreds of travel sites at once? kayak. i like to do things myself. i do my own searching. it isn't efficient. use kayak. i can't trust anything else to

short weekend, sandra. >> sandra: i am sandra smith. this is "america reports." falsifying business records for alleged hush money payments made at the end of the 2016 election. >> john: jury selection is underway. the judge says they could take out a 2 weeks to put a jury together due to the amount of prospective jurors. all of whom are being pulled from a pool in manhattan. >> sandra: the former president says this case never should have been brought in the first place and pleaded not guilty to all charges. fox team coverage starts right now. we've got jonathan turley on deck. let's kick things off with eric shawn. he is live outside that state supreme court here in manhattan for us. lower manhattan at this hour. what we know? >> this trial really hasn't even started yet. already prosecutors want to hold former president trump in contempt of court. the prosecutor saying that he has violated the gag order by attacking witnesses, michael cohen and stormie dowdaniels. 5,000 dollars for each infraction, a total of $3,000 per other former president doesn't like that

>> sandra: jonathan serrie watching for things, thank you. we have these brand-new live shots provided by our fox ten phoenix camera operators on the ground and aerial shots as well. we are watching arizona state university this is tempe, you can see tents on the lawn, people have been gathering there pretty steadily. some of the local reporters are reporting that protesters have been arrested there, but this is one that is popping up. this protest has emerged in the last couple of hours. >> john: you know i saw some interesting video earlier this morning we are trying to get cleared. it happened at ucla there was a little reflecting pool there and a professor who was clearly pretty worked up standing up on the side of the reflecting pool yelling about genocide and a jewish student holding an israeli flag send you know what genocide is? and the professor was at a loss for word and turned around and said can summary help me out here? and it just goes to show the point has been made for many critics that a lot of these protesters really have no

we will send it back to you, sandra. >> sandra: we are awaiting anywhere and after that courtroom. prospective jurors out of the 200 enter the courtroom and took their seats. >> john: they are potentially sitting in a court case with the world's biggest celebrity apparently when the jurors came in and many were craning their necks according to reporting from inside the courtroom to get a look at donald trump. >> sandra: what we did see and hear from that, there are 6 members of that meeting in the courtroom that actually see the jurors. according to the court pool, many of the prospective panelist to file then sat in the back rows. they stretched their necks to get a look at trump once they took their seats. you can only imagine. >> john: one of them smiled and looked at the person beside her. when judge merchan said the name of that case, there was no visible reaction according to reporters in the room. this is the very first criminal case of a former american president. what a precedent that sets legalistic me. if you are to be a juror on that case, you will be famous for the res

he was not quite so -- he was nuts quite so -- >> sandra: he was not delicate about it. >> sandra: now this. >> assuming you have the right person that can make a difference you sell it for four years when i was president. we were respected all over the world. we had the best economy we've ever had, everything was good. we had no wars, we defeated isis come we had no wars, we had known nothing. we were respected all over the world and now it is a disgrace. >> sandra: more from donald trump on his way into court, they are on a break right now is the criminal court continues with testimony from david pecker. our next guest has first-hand experience defending the former president and he joins us now. let's bring informal trump trump attorney and doj prosecutors jim trustee, great to see you. they give coming on today. here in new york city shortly, what are your thoughts as you have been watching on what has struck you so far? >> than on criminality of this case continues to strike me. i mean, right now with the prosecution what they are doing is walking through tawdry scandalous distaste

i will just sit down. >> sandra: i see you have to sit down. my apologies. >> i don't want to block -- i will be here. you can still talk. >> sandra: we are in the two-minute warning, i've got you you need to sit down. just give us a heads up if you could in the few seconds here off the top as we do anticipate this. >> and look at the white house, their line about the protest has been a so as long as they stay peaceful people have a right to express themselves. they do generally condemn that kind of rhetoric. but there is also a lot they need to talk about concerning the relationship with israel and next steps now that we know that israel was told or the white house was hoping back channeling they would not respond the way they did last night. we will throw it back to you and i bet the door opens as soon as i stop talking. >> sandra: always respectful we know you are and we know you have questions ready to go, peter we thank you so much we will see and hear from you again soon at the white house. >> trace: meantime let's get drive on mike tel a

sandra, that is worse then his disapproval on inflation or the economy. president trump has to say it will clearly be something the white house will have to openly address and one final note the leader of the caravan in mexico communicated with him this morning and said they are in a small southern half mexico town unclear where they intend to cross into the u.s., sandra? >> sandra: thank you, i can hear the rain coming down there in d.c. through my ifb. griff, thank you live from the white house, john? >> john: sender as we await the former president said will be about 5 minutes away we have former communications director for senator joe medlin, and former press secretary about this illegal immigration issue what they've said in the past. listen. >> the jobs they hold may otherwise be held by illegal immigrants come the public service they use implodes burdens on our taxpayers. we will try to do more to speed the deportation of illegal immigrants we are a nation of immigrants but also a nation of laws. >> i believe we can be a nation of laws and immigran

right now it is a free ride. -- >> sandra: bill? we just want to alert what is happening on the screen here, john, we are getting worried this is at columbia university where the students are still occupying the building there they are lifting supplies we are told up into the building and you can see them hoisting what appeared to a plastic basket holding perhaps food, water, don't know. wow. >> john: and to the pictures at unc chapel hill, the center of gravity in these protests seems to be around the flagpole. something going on with the flag there. someone was trying to take the flag down? or what was going on but we know at harvard university in the last couple of days someone removed the american flag and put the palestinian flag up in its place. you take down the american flag at a life like north carolina it will cause some consternation. and there we see people on the parapet there of hamilton hall. as they are taking in supplies to keep them going. sandra, no sign they are going to heed any calls from the university to get

>> sandra: sure. >> greg: you don't seem certain on that. >> sandra: i'm thinking about the framing ofkatie couric -- by the way, i think i was saying this during the break -- what happened to her? she seems so bitter and angry. watching her on "the today show" and they embrace her. she has changed. i think so many people are not shocked to see an elitist member of the media out there calling out what they see as the lunatic fringe right, right? but where is, you know, where is the dichotomy of the far left lunatics out there that are chanting "death to america" in dearborn, michigan, and there is no conversation in that interview being had. not shocking to hear both sides calling each other out, but when you look at the lunatic fringe right, what are they taking issue with? waving big american flags of their pickup trucks. on the lunatic fringe left, they are chanting "death to america." remember that when you hear her calling out the far right for being jealous, bitter, resentful people, and that interview was really interesting. i think it stopped a lot of people in their tracks, li

>> sandra: okay, chad.ive shot in capitol hill, can you tell us who we are going to see what this will look like we are told this is literally happening any minute now >> we are looking at a shot outside the house chamber by the will rogers statue and the 11 house republican impeachment managers these are the prosecutors. they will come out of the house for a while book and clerk room stomach to my cloakroom one alleges mallorca's broke the law from the other one says he breached the public trust. and will be seeing these 11 impeachment managers walk the articles from the house to the senate escorted by milt bill mcfarland and kevin mccumber who is the acting clerk of the house of representatives. what they will do is walk the articles over here that it's hakeem jeffries the democratic leader right now. keep in mind he was a prosecutor back in president trump's first trial in 2020. the lead is marcus greene republican from tennessee. he is the chairman of the homeland security committee and it was ironic be

. >> sandra: we are watching the u.s. stock market as the dow continues to sink following the release of the latest inflation report. dow at 431 points right now as one of the latest market and fed observers of the obama administration says he may have to take seriously the possibility that the next rate moved by the fed will be up rather than down. we will dig into that with charlie gasper we know when he joins us next hour. >> john: and it does seem to be coming up only marginally, raising questions whether the fed will cut rates this year. member they were signaling at least potentially three rate cuts but they said that a look at the data. at the moment the data is not looking good. >> sandra: we have a busy taco hours coming up because any moment now president biden is expected to join along with the japan prime minister. they will be holding a live joint news conference as you can see on your screen they will deliver this live from the white house rose garden. as we anticipate this, the administration says the pair

so longer-term i think it works for us for trump. >> sandra: noel, dig in there. former president was departing a few moments ago, he chose to say the economy is falling apart at oil prices are up. >> absolutely, and i agree with doug that i think that inflation in the long term is going to -- here is where i disagree. with the trials going on and he can't get out and campaign, this has done nothing but uptick is fundraising. you have seen so many people give to donald trump because of the fact that he cannot be out campaigning, so they feel bad for him and a lot of people feel like these trials are something they shouldn't be spending money on, they should be spending money on other things so i agree with the inflation hurting tr trump. >> sandra: both presumptive nominees also talking about presidential debates today, listen. >> i don't know if you are going to debate your opponent. >> i am sometime, i don't know when, i'm happy to debate him. >> sandra: okay. now here was the president. >> thursday night or friday night on national television, just tell me wher
