>> ainsley: so good. >> brian: how many on this album? >> 13. i wrote 12 of them. >> i'm a country music -- that has my stamp of approval. >> i live in raleigh. i try to keep one foot in the normal world. >> he has the wolfpack on his guitar strap. it's cab in a solo, solo in the cab of my truck. >> brian: download the whole album. >> i've never been more proud of a record. every single song i'm fired up. >> ainsley: he is on "fox & friends" and supports us. you all support him, please. >> bri: thanks, guys. have a great weekend. happy mother's day. >> ainsley: happy mother's day. >> bill: good morning. here we go. donald trump enters the new york

state supreme court any moment now as we learn the prosecution's star witness, michael cohen, has a date. he will be on the stand on monday. we're waiting to see if the former president speaks before going inside the courtroom. judge merchan is denying the gag order modifications turned down late yesterday and trump could be could remark on a lot of this. we have a quandary are foreign policy. an ultimatum. threat to withhold aid from israel prompting republicans to draft articles of impeachment. dana has the day off the day after her big birthday yesterday. live today. not our birthday today but we're here. good morning, great to see you, i'm martha maccallum and this is "america's newsroom." a lot going on today as you pointed out. court about to get underway and also this big interview resonating from president biden who has threatened to withhold

weapons from israel if the nation decides to invade rafah. that decision has enraged a lot of people on both sides of the aisle in many ways. and some saying it amounts to a quid pro quo. >> bill: rafah is the final stronghold of hamas along the egyptian border. four battalions of hamas fighters said to be in that town. prime minister benjamin netanyahu that israel will defeat the terrorists with or without american support. >> i've known joe biden for many years. 40 years and more. we often had our agreements but we've had our disagreements. we've been able to overcome them. i hope we can overcome them now. we will do what we have to do to protect our country and that means protect our future. if israel has to stand alone, we'll stand alone. but we also know we aren't alone. we have so many decent people

everywhere who do support us and understand the truth and we'll defeat our enemies and we will secure our future. >> martha: president biden is campaigning today out west mountain view, california is the arrival sight there. we'll see if he takes questions on what has become a very troublesome issue for his re-election. texas congressman wesley hunt is here. we go to rich edson who is at the white house this morning. hi, rich. >> good morning. the white house is now responding to these congressional republicans saying the administration absolutely has the legal authority to withhold these weapons. white house official tells fox our actions have been done consistent with the law. this action doesn't involve any failure to spend or delay in spending funds appropriated by congress. officials say this is about holding off delivering specific weapons israel might use in an operation the united states opposes. >> going to continue to provide israel with the capabilities

that it needs, all of them. but he does not want certain categories of american weapons used in a particular type of operation in a particular place. >> many progressives have pressed the administration to withhold support, there is bipartisan opposition to biden's decision to withhold certain bombs and artillery shells if israeli defense forces invade rafah. >> you have the kind of enemy that has no conditions or morals or decency, or any kind of a bottom. and i don't think we should have any kind of conditions. >> senator fetterman added he hasn't seen any israeli conduct that would justify adding conditions to military aid for israel. republican senators say they'll try to reach a bipartisan agreement to reverse the president's decision. >> we are going to look at what tools do we have.

here is the first tool. sit down with democrats and see if we can walk this back. >> president left the white house yesterday and heading up to seattle to do some campaigning and fundraising. back to you. >> bill: congressman wesley hunt. republican out of texas with us in new york. nice to see you. you have to enduring gotham city. >> seems that way today. >> bill: as long as we don't keep you too long. a lot going on. republicans were hammered for months because they didn't pass the spending bill to give more money to israel. ukraine in the deal as well. so you have that issue. now you have the issue of politics and raising money. a top biden donor, according to axios, said this. let's not forget there are more jewish voters who care about israel than muslim voters who care about hamas. what is your hot take on that? >> no truer words have been spoken. i'm a combat veteran, west point guys.

two tours of duty in saudi arabia and iraq. we have one true ally in that region, israel. keep in mind that is is shall -- we have got to support israel and reject the leftist approach to destroy the very fabric of our country and our beliefs and our background. it is that simple. one of the strongest things i've seen from a diplomatic sand point when president trump moved the embassy to jerusalem. a shot across the bow to the entire world to let everyone know that we side with israel and if you mess with our allies as we say in texas, if you mess with the bull you'll get the horns. because of that, the world was a safer place. we were all left alone because we picked a side. joe biden right now wants to have his cake and eat it, too. and you can't split the baby on this. you have to support our only ally in that region and if we didn't have the feckless leadership we wouldn't be voting to spend billions of our tax paying dollars to make sure we didn't have a conflict.

it wouldn't exist if we had peace through strength and that's what we had during the trump administration. >> martha: based on your military experience, the mission was to take out hamas to eliminate the threat. >> yes. >> martha: there are still four battalions, the highest ranking in rafah. hamas is the way they operate. surround themselves. hostages are in close proximity to him as well. my question for president biden and for you in this instance is how do you get rid of hamas if you hold them back from using these precise guided weapons in rafah? >> it's time to take the gloves off and let israel do what they need to do. hamas has sworn to wipe israel off the map. israel has shown a lot of restraint. they could do a lot worse and they haven't. it's up to us again, like i said, pick a side, allow israel to do what needs to be done to

protect themselves and their sovereignty so they can continue to exist. hamas has vowed to destroy israel. they vowed to destroy the united states. why are we even allowing this to happen? >> bill: you wonder if hamas survives in the end. think about that possibility. october 7th, go back to october 8th in hamas survives. want to talk about politics. a poll about african-americans and how they feel about joe biden. traditionally pretty good vote for democrats when it comes to african-americans. they found this in june of 2020 they had 74% for democrats favor. now it's 62. i don't know what happens. maybe this can change. that's a 12-point difference there. in june of 2020 overall vote was 72%, now 68. here is what we found. one in five black voters who turned out for biden say they're less certain whether or not they will vote at all this year. >> yes. >> that's a very big problem for the democrat party. if you can't attain at least 80%

of the black vote, guess what? you have a problem and you won't win in november. i want to tell people this. black issues are american issues. we're voting our pocketbook. the highest inflation i've seen in any lifetime. the worst border crisis i've seen in my lifetime. people are having a hard time putting food on the table. as a black man and black for my entire life i care about what all americans want, a thriving economy to provide for my family. we had that under president trump for four years. now we don't. and now we want it back. it is that simple. this is one of the few topics in the entire country we have had back-to-back presidents. we know what each man can do and now we have a rubber match. let's go head-to-head and i think will want trump's economy more and better than what we have seen in the last four years. >> bill: we shall see. you've been black your entire life. [laughter]

>> we've always been americans our entire lives. that's what's most important. >> bill: great to have you. >> martha: very nice to have you with us this morning . police in riot gear moving in to dismantle an anti-israel protest encampment at the university of pennsylvania this morning. the response on the philadelphia campus comes after the governor said they had to go. the same scene unfolding at m.i.t. police taking down tents on campus after protestors refused to leave. far left democrats praise the demonstrators for moving the needle. keep going in terms of what's happening in gaza. >> bill: take you downtown new york city outside the courthouse with donald trump inside the courthouse will offer remarks any moment now. his defense team now getting ready to question the witness of the entire deal, that's michael cohen on monday. what's up for today? eric shawn is back at his post in lower manhattan now. good morning on a friday.

>> good morning, bill and martha. it was donald trump's long time lawyer and fixer who would always defend his boss. on monday he will testify against him. i have learned that yes, michael cohen is set to take the stand here at manhattan criminal court on monday called by prosecutors to testify and detail the alleged scheme to pay off stormy daniels and pay back cohen. madeleine westerhout is out the stand. she told the jury yesterday how trump's checks would arrive from trump tower in new york city and then the president would sign them in the oval office. she testified that she set up the meeting one month into trump's presidency with trump and michael cohen. reports have claimed she was in that meeting and set to testify that she heard trump and cohen talk about that deal but i have

been told she actually was not in the meeting. she was sitting at her desk that was just six feet outside the oval office door. she testified on the stand yesterday she cried saying she thought that trump was a great president who was being treated unfairly quote, i thought it was really important to share with the american people the man i got to know. i don't think he is treated fairly, she said. he is amazing. i just found him really enjoyable to work for. she said trump and melania have a close, loving marriage. quote, i believe they have a relationship of mutual respect. no one could put him in his place but he was my boss, but she was in charge. their relationship was really special. cohen is expected to detail the alleged payment agreement in which stormy daniels was paid off to stay silent in which michael cohen took $130,000 out of his home equity account and

that trump then allegedly repaid cohen with those checks. those checks marked as legal expenses form the basis and the very heart of this case of 34 counts of filing false business records. quite a day here on monday and next week. michael cohen expected to be on the stand for a few days. waiting for that. back to you. >> bill: thank you. we should see the former president in the moment and the trial begins in 18 minutes. thanks. you remember that at the border? it's practically a riot. migrants stampeding are actually now in the clear. a judge has made what has got to be considered a stunning ruling, martha. we've got details on that coming up momentarily here. >> dana: putting law enforcement in danger at the border in those images. hunter biden not as lucky in

court. why his trial date on federal gun charges is now on the calendar. >> bill: president biden telling a tall tale about inflation. a bit of a whopper. why his claim about sky high prices is giving a field day to fact checkers. >> president biden: when i started this administration, people were saying there would be a collapse in the economy. we have the strongest economy in the world. let me say it again, in the world. let's get started. bill, where's your mask? i really tried sleeping with it, everybody. now i sleep with inspire. inspire? no mask? no hose? just sleep. learn more, and view important safety information at inspiresleep.com veteran homeowners, car payments are getting out of control. get a newday 100 va cash out loan at lower mortgage rates to pay off those high rate car loans.

>> martha: it's that time again and expecting to see former president trump any moment now. we expect he will make comments on the way in as he does nearly every single day. we'll get there as soon as that gets underway. >> bill: we have this update. federal appeals court has

rejected hunter biden's effort to throw away those gun charges. paving the way for a trial that should happen early next month in the state of delaware. the court citing a lack of jurisdiction in the case. the president's son pleaded not guilty to all charges. if found guilty could face up to 25 years in prison if convicted. that trial, that case, rather, continues as of now. then this. [shouting] >> martha: they barreled through law enforcement at the border and pushed their way into the country. el paso in march. a stampede of migrants who tramped national guardsman highlighting the anarchy there. the judge the dismissing any riot charges against hundreds of these migrants based essentially on a legal technicality. william la jeunesse following the story. >> lots of finger pointing. migrants appear to get off

scot-free after illegally forcing their way into the u.s. and overwhelming police and national guard. negligence, politics, innocent mistakes those migrants could have gotten up to 180 days in jail. the county judge dismisses the charges saying paperwork wasn't properly filed with his court. d.a. attacked the judge who d.a and public defender blames the state for overcharging. >> indicting misdemeanor is detrimental to the overburdened justice system and limited resources, to taxpayer dollars, and in the backlog of cases. >> we argued that it was appropriate and proper and we feel that very strongly and we feel that it was done appropriately and his order is an improper order. >> county judge dismissed the charges saying the case wasn't properly transferred to him. he met friday and monday with both sides. morales dismissed 140 similar

rioting cases before. to some extent this case is already dead. fewer than 40 remain in custody. some were deported. biden administration paroled most of them into the u.s., to border agents this breakdown is disappointing. >> that is disgusting honestly. it just continues to allow those individuals that are breaking the law to continue to break it and realize there won't be any consequences. >> the d.a. says he will appeal to an appellate court but if they reinstate the charges, martha, they will still need new arrest warrants for people long gone. back to you. >> martha: thank you. >> bill: we have this. president biden had a rare sit down interview with cnn. in a brief 17 minutes biden told 15 lies. nearly a lie a minute from

whoppers about the economy he spun a fantasy that voters know is false. we want to put it together. on screen you'll see all 15 the "new york post" lists here. i don't know what you favor, martha. lie one i created 15 million jobs since i was president. the problem is all those jobs came back because covid went away and you had the vaccine. eight, inflation was 9% when i came to office. >> martha: nope. >> bill: on and on it went. 9% when he came to office. >> martha: 1.4% when he came into office. the fed target area. that's a healthy place and where you want to be. in pushback. here comes president trump. >> bill: david asman is in the wing here. >> i'll wait and see what happens. >> martha: stay with us. let's hear what some of the questions are. [shouted questions] >> thank you very much. on saturday we had a tremendous

rally. i hope you'll be there in wildwood, new jersey, a big crowd and we'll be saying a lot. we'll be able to campaign on saturday. nerve the less we have horrible gag order. jonathan turley, the predominant question in the manhattan hush money trial of former president donald trump is not one of guilt but something far more basic. is the district attorney alvin bragg's case a joke? is it a prank? is it a farce? on thursday the answer became clear, it is all of the above but it is also an abuse of our justice system and assault on the rule of law. that's jonathan turley. although it's a long story, this

case is highly -- presided over by a very conflicted judge, conflicted like i've never seen before. who refuses to take himself off the case and it should be a mistrial. their objective was to humiliate and smear trump and they got the detail of sex that had nothing to do with the criminal charges at issue. had nothing to do -- >> martha: we'll see if we can get it moving again. former president trump citing jonathan turley's piece calling the case an assault on the rule of law as we have seen really throughout this. the former president using this opportunity to get his feelings out there and to keep it within the parameters now of what he can talk about and he can clearly talk about the judge. he is very conflicted. that's outside of the rules around the gag violation. that's fair game. talking about a rally this weekend which he would make the

most of as he tries to get out there campaigning. >> bill: we have not had a problem with this thing for two weeks. i don't know what the glitch is. we have tough weather in new york. maybe that's something to do with it. when we get the shot back we'll bring it to you and play the comments in full. david asman is here. >> i was wondering whether the judge got fed up and pulled the plug. >> bill: we were ripping through the 15 pin oak yosemite and here it is. he claimed it was 9% when he took office. it was actually 1.4% as you see on the chart there. the one thing that cuts against him in his argument on the economy. >> the bottom line is it's because of his spending. not only because of his spending, he blames trump, all the biden people say trump is the one who bit off all the spending during the pandemic. it was temporary spending. we turned off the economy which

was never done before in the history of the world where the world was turned off. it went -- we were spending 4 1/2 trillion dollars when we went into the pandemic in federal spending. the pandemic sent it into the 6 trillion level and that phased out right when biden came in. remember, he kept a lot of those programs intact but he has maintained that $6 trillion level throughout his -- he has upped the ante. baseline number and his regulations, war on fossil fuels sent oil prices up. we see gas prices that went up from the low $2 levels up to now it's scheduled to be $4 a gallon in september. that's what the eia is saying. bottom line is, this is biden's fault. he doesn't want to admit it. he sees no signs of changing. in fact, it could get worse

because his 2025 budget, which he has forecast is settled to be at 7.3 trillion. not only is he not going back to the 4 trillion level he is doubling it up to 7.3 trillion. it is going to get worse if he is reelected. of course, the 2025 a lot of the trump tax codes phase out so he is going to come in with a lot more taxes. a lot of them is corporate and capital gains taxes, a big hit to the stock market if you have a 401k, you will be in deep trouble. he says the rich. the whole stock market will go down as people sell stocks because they don't want to pay 50% tax. that will bring down the whole level for everybody. a lot of middle class people have stocks in 401ks. another term of biden would mean more and worse of the same. if you think what we've had over the past 3 1/2 years is bad. >> martha: david, thank you.

the president said none of those polls are right. all the polls on the economy are all wrong. i don't know why people are answering the questions the way they are but they're all wrong. david, thank you. it's good to see trump, too. we're live in tennessee where violent tornadoes have left some neighborhoods in ruins. >> we heard the trees breaking and stuff. we did have a house. we had to put a roof on and do work but we had a house. we don't have one now. we'll just have to take one day at a time and piece it back together.

(laughing) call 1-800-miracle to schedule a free hearing evaluation and start your risk-free trial at miracle-ear today. >> bill: it appears court is nearly in session. don't think the jurors have been brought in just yet at 9:34 in the morning. the judge just denied a trump team request to call a certain

witness. more on that in a moment. want to bring in jonathan turley and jonna spilbor. here is the question. irony in here, jonathan. they asked the judge and merchan has rejected trump's request to subpoena mark pomerantz. who is that? he is a former prosecutor in the d.a.'s office in new york who left his job and then wrote a book about trump's real estate history. the judge writes that the requests are, quote, far too broad and amount to an improper fishing expedition into general discovery. they seek information on topics that are not relevant, end quote. i think trump's attorneys have been arguing that for a week now, have they not, with stormy daniels? >> yeah. we just spent two days with them trawling the entire ocean of lurid details with stormy daniels.

for this judge to express concern that maybe this is a bit too broad really, i'm sure, produced a couple of muffled chuckles in the room. pomerantz is an interesting character because he was brought in to make this case. he and another prosecutor resigned after bragg decided to throw a flag on the case. remember, bragg's predecessor declined the theory. pomerantz and his colleague pushed it and bragg also had misgivings. pomerantz did a public campaign to pressure bragg to bring the charges. his own office told him you shouldn't do this. this is still under investigation. you are a former prosecutor. you are undermining your own office. but pomerantz was unrepentant and it worked. bragg knuckled under and brought the charges and why they wanted to bring him forward.

i am not surprised by the judge's ruling. but coming after the stormy daniels catastrophe, the r rationale is a bit glaring. >> martha: it feels like the things the defense brings forward will all be part of their appeal case if there is a conviction in this case. would this be substantive in terms of an appeal that this witness was denied when other witnesses could also be considered broad? >> it will be cited. this is going to be the weaker of the challenges because it is very hard to knock a case out on selective prosecution. i have tried it as a criminal defense attorney. it is very hard. judges don't like to get into motivations. show me there is no crime here. they can, there is no crime here. the reversible errors are mounting in this case. one of the earliest ones was

this judge allowing the prosecutors to make repeated references to election violations suggesting that trump committed campaign contribution violations. he did not. but that's the more likely grounds for reversal. >> bill: jonna, i don't mean to cut you off. we'll get your comment. they just refed trump's comments before he went into court so here is the video and we'll bring up the audio and listen together. >> wretched assault on the rule of law. it goes on and finishes although it's a long story that's brutal about this case. this case is highly unconstitutional. it is presided over by a very conflicted judge. conflicted like i've never seen before. he refuses to take himself off the case. it should be a mistrial. their object ifb was to humiliate and smear trump that had nothing to do with the

criminal charges at issue. had nothing to do with it. everything you have been watching has nothing to do with the case. they know that. it has backfired spectacularly. miranda devine. we've heard it all before. dems wheeled out the scandal in 2016 and it didn't work then. why would it work now eight years later? and why now six months before the election? in other words, why are they bringing this case right before the election? you know and so do i. they're dishonest thugs. nobody in their right mind thinks this is what new york -- prosecutorial resources, scarce prosecutorial resources that should be spent with people languishing in jail and all over the city. d.a. alvin] should be spending his time --

the message they are sending to the voting public is this guy is so strong that we have to cheat to beat him. this is election interference. kerri urbahn said not going well for the prosecution. highly respected lady. not going well for the prosecution. when you have a rigged judge, things can go well. so story after story. these are all stories that just came out. these are all stories 100% this is a disgraceful trial. i will be going over them with you later. how the left tried to do things -- i'll say two things. certain words i'm not allowed to read. if i use the words this guy wants to put me in jail. he is corrupt. alan dershowitz, trump trial

will go down in history as a legal catastrophe. i'm not a friend of his and i don't know him well. this is what he writes. this is what everyone is writing. and this is a case that should have never started. there is a fantastic article byron york. if i put one wrong word in there it will put me in jail. donald trump just had an incredible legal week. i didn't really. the judge is highly political and he is corrupt. he is also conflicted at a level that nobody has ever been before that i've seen. here is "politico." trump's political fate won't be decided by the courts. they think the case is so bad. again when you have a rigged

judge bad things can happen. very bad things can happen. i'm trying to edit this very quickly in front of you because if i mention the wrong word they will come at me and take me out to jail someplace. that's the way this judge. he wants to show how tough he is. this is story after story. i will give you more later on. they don't like it when i talk because they would rather not have me talk at all. if this country allows them to get away with the gag order and the way the case is being handled like what they are doing, yesterday was incredible. it was incredible. what they did, this trial was so horrible. it is no longer justice. it is a tremendous abuse of the new york judicial system in particular. the new york judicial system has been absolutely abused and

abused terribly. the whole world is watching. i will go now and sit in the freezing cold courtroom for eight or nine hours and think about being on the campaign. but i will be on the campaign on saturday at 5:00 in wildwood, new jersey. thank you very much. [shouted questions] >> bill: that's the end of the notes for today. the jury has brought in and the witness is there, too. madeleine westerhout who took the stand when you were on the air yesterday. >> martha: i former assistant to president trump and worked at the rnc and positioned outside the oval office. saw a lot of the checks that came and went for the personal side of the former president's business and certainly was very privy to everything that was going on day-to-day. >> bill: let's bring jonna and jonathan turley back into the conversation. dana and i had this thing during the week where we ask a stupid

question because we're not lawyers. and i just want to -- trump is talking about the legal system being on trial during this case, everybody watches it. everybody around the world with the former president. you both would agree and made the argument many times here. here is what the judge at the end of the day yesterday said denying the modification of the gag order. he said my concern is not just protecting daniels, my concern is protecting the integrity of these proceedings as a whole. now, i listened to what you guys have said and listened to trump and say the gag order is unfair and it's illegal. the reason the gag order is there is because the judge said he can't trust trump to go after the witnesses while they testify. and therefore the prosecution does not share the witness list with the defense, with one exception, michael cohen who will be there monday and that just happened right now. the judge says i can't keep filing the guy. i can't shut him up.

if you want to protect the integrity of the proceedings you have to let the lawyers on both sides deal fairly and he can tab ---throw trump in jail and shut him up and allow defense attorneys to get ready properly for each witness. jonna, am i out there or would you please answer what we consider today's stupid question? >> no, it's not a stupid question. i have to begin with what integrity? this case has had none since day one. we've got 34 unsupported charges. we had the prosecution's case officially jump the shark with two days of stormy daniels' completely irrelevant and unnecessary salacious testimony. here we are purposefully waiting for monday to call michael cohen

so the trump's team does not have the weekend to prepare after the star of his direct examination. there is no integrity to protect here. this is just more of the same. this judge trying to shut up donald trump for no reason, for no valid reason essentially. >> martha: quick question about madeleine westerhout. sometimes it's hard to tell who the witness is for. do you think this is a prosecution witness? does this witness help the prosecution or not? >> a few of the prosecution witnesses have done just that. this trial i feel like the tables are turning both inside and outside of that courthouse. the prosecution knew what their witnesses were going to say and adds to the whole feeling that this was not brought because they wanted to seek the truth. this was brought for political purposes.

the good news is, we are coming down the homestretch, right? we're getting ready for the finish line and if anybody thinks michael cohen is going to have a smoking gun, they're wrong. he will be the clown at the end of this rodeo, more entertainment value than anything else and that's it. but at least that will be the period at the end of this long run-on sentence. >> bill: stand by. westerhout said at the end of her testimony yesterday why sne wrote a book. it was important to share with the american people the man i got to know. i wanted to tell that story and i don't think he is treated fairly. she was fired from her job at the white house and wanted that job and wasn't happy when that went down. let's get a break. jurors are in there now and let you know how it goes blow by blow.

worm ate part of his brain leading to temporary memory loss. he has made a full recovery after changing his diet and has had no after effects. let's bring in fox news medical contributor dr. marc siegel. good to see you. this has led to a lot of late night comedy fodder and elsewhere on social media. is this a plausible scenario? >> well yes, but not exactly as he is saying it. let's start with the fact there are two type of worms we see in the u.s. and around the world. one you get from your dogs or cats. i don't think that's what this is. that's a round worm. what he is talking about going to india and getting in there what's endemic in india, martha, is tape worm and the larvae from tape worm, their eggs that you don't get from eating undercooked pork, you get it from shaking the hand of somebody who has it or has a

tape worm and you have the essential and they can go into the brain. here is what he has wrong. it doesn't eat the brain actually. it would be dead and actually the inflammation surrounding it could cause damage to brain tissue. that's what we see. what we usually see from that is seizures, too, convulsions, not cognitive problems. it is possible that he had cognitive problems from that. the other thing is he was talking about mercury poisoning around that time. that's much more likely to cause cognitive problems. what i like about this and you know i say this i love full disclosure when it comes to presidential candidates. you and i have been talking about that for years. i'm glad he is coming forward. >> martha: full disclosure, worm eating my brain. marc, thank you very much. >> bill: did not have that on the bingo card. back in court we roll. the witness is on the stand and we'll tell you what is happening on this final day of court for

this week. ny versus trump.
