good evening, i am died benson along with kennedy, anita vogel and joe concha and welcome to the "big weekend show". the big story tonight -- while it fight night for former president trump, he's going to the u.s. tilt in new york jersey as he fights for his political life after new york jury convicted him 48 hours ago. >> i don't mind being out there because i'm doing something for this country and i'm doing something for our constitution. it is very important, far beyond me. this can't be allowed to have enjoyed the president, should never be allowed to happen in the future. this is far beyond me, this is bigger than trump, bigger than me, bigger than my presidency. >> democrats and many of the media got exactly what they wanted out of this will depart. >> donald john trump chairman. >> a convicted felon. [cheering] >> convicted felon. >> why should americans vote for a convicted felon? >> convicted felon. >> he is a convicted felon. >> a convicted felon. >> convicted -- [laughter] what do voters think? and i don't think that was fair. it's time to vote and set the record straight. >> more cement in my opinion. >> planning on voting again, that's for me. >> kennedy, a lot of us have been arguing the whole purpose of this trial was to manufacture the convicted felon label for donald trump prior to the election and whether it gets thrown out is it likely will later, it doesn't matter, it's a five-month play for the left and they have checked the box the bar. george soros son of course the soros operation back alvin bragg's campaign was money, he put out a tweet saying the democrats should be using these words convicted felon as often as possible and of course they do their social justice the for the justice impacted individuals with one big exception, donald trump, they are giving away the game, aren't they? >> yes and that's what happened, there's so much hubris with the progressive left in all of this has been manufactured. the entire law fair past to take trump's presidential hopes in 2024, that comes from the people funding a lot of the anti- israel pro- hamas protest groups on college campuses. it's all kind of the same thing but they have bankrolled not only alvin bragg but george gascon and los angeles and mike schmidt who is the da in portland and a lot of cultural leftist das who are ruining once great cities so you were talking before the show about how i believe it was politico, they deemed alvin bragg is a reluctant prosecutor and the only thing he is reluctant to prosecute our rates and violent felonies but there are still a lot of people still undecided looking around going what was the crime? if you look at the paula jones case, he did pay $850,000 and i'm sure there are thousands of other cases of hopeful presidential mistresses who have been paid off, are you going to dig up and prosecute every one of those cases? probably not and this boils down to despite all of the unseemly details, these were internal ms. categorizations of payments that didn't actually cause any financial harm to anyone, no victim they then turned into 34 felonies. >> how did they document the payments for the law firm that paid for the steel dossier? how to hillary clinton's campaign, the bookkeeping there? >> on that headline, the reluctant prosecutor, there are a few problems when it comes to donald trump; people chuckle over that. alvin bragg made no secret he wanted to get donald trump. that's out there, everybody heard it, he ran on it, everybody knew it so the headline, it's interesting, kind of troubling i think. it's wrong and your question about what was the crime? we have a lot of smart legal scholars, jonathan turley is one and i heard him asking over and over, what is the crime? if he's not sure what the crime is then who can be sure of it? there are trump cost of legal analyst and other networks we won't mention who were sort of struggling to come up with a crime alone 34 felonies that guilty across the board. i've seen a lot of people on the democratic side at least some saying this is bad for trump, this is what we wanted, people are going to be able to pull a lever for a convicted felon, people on the right thing this is going to solidify, people are angry and the guy in the clip i will register and vote because it wrong, i'm not confident which way this goes, i think time will tell obviously but how are you feeling about here in the first 48 hours? >> no feelings, i'm looking at the fundraising numbers and obscene $53 million raised by the trump campaign in 24 hours since the conviction. think about that the biden campaign didn't raise that, of money in an entire month and 30% of those never donated to the trump campaign in 2016 or 2020 that means he bringing in people who have never voted before and we seen this before in 2016 and and people that felt they were forgotten in pennsylvania, wisconsin particularly. >> will have a lot more to say in a second and that's one interesting, no doubt. does it translate into votes? people are angry but five months from now does it translate into votes? >> is an indicator people are angry obviously and it's amazing how does democrats say they will say this republic from donald trump and save democracy by doing the most antidemocratic things you could possibly do like this trial morning into a rope and president biden over congress and supreme court aspires student loan forgiveness taking trump all the ballot, antidemocratic, no question. >> he is at the beach this weekend spending the day biking with the sun hunter about to go on trial facing gun charges next week. biden, the president mocking this idea that he is pulling the strings on trump prosecutions. fox news correspondent lucas tomlinson the white house tonight like the president. >> another opens. hunter biden facing a trial monday on the gun charges where he faces up to 25 years in prison. here the white house doesn't biden was asked about the historical conviction of his opponent, the president declined to answer with words instead he answered with a grin. >> mr. president, can you tell us donald trump refers to himself as a political prisoner and flames you directly, what is your response to that? you think you will have an impact on the campaign bus would love to hear get thoughts. >> peter doocy caught up with the president is at the rose garden where he received a more substantial answer. >> do think this helps trump in the election? are you worried this could happen to you someday? somebody comes up charges and tries to bring in the court after your term? >> not at all. >> what trump says you are trying, what you say? politically. pulling strings behind the scenes to help yourself. >> i didn't know i was a powerful. >> president biden endorsed israel's plan for cease-fire in gaza to end the war with hamas. >> thank you very much. joe was mentioning donors, large and small coming out the woodwork and record numbers for donald trump, whopping 52.8 million dollars donated to the trump campaign and 21st hour alone following that conviction american history of all addicts i believe, maybe i'm wrong, somebody will find them wrong maybe but i don't think so, they raised with small money donors many $21, $42, $53, $38, a record $39 million in about ten hours. [cheering] i like those people. >> no big business tightens behind trump as well a venture capitalist john mcguire among them cutting trump of $300,000 check in switching his boat to read ahead of november. he wrote this, and prepared to lose friends. in 2016 i trump the media clinton's get out of my mind about trump. i donated to hillary campaign and by 2020 of dissolution and didn't go. i like either option. now i believe it's one of the most important elections of my lifetime and i'm supporting trump. so anita, it's interesting when you look at fundraising and the places donald trump is going, he was in the south bronx, w ufc tonight and now he's heading out to silicon valley not necessarily a terribly sunday area for him but maybe that's changing. >> not so friendly that we know of but he is headed to california for a series of fundraisers. >> fundraising number in 24 hours. i expected to be big, well over 50 million is a while. >> in order to raise tens of millions of dollars, joe biden's barack obama, george clooney, julia roberts. the former president only need to conviction. the exciting thing him, who are having this discussion a moment ago with this momentum carried through november? the court cases are so as long as you have other venues pressing forward and legal strain, he was the voters continue to be galvanized and feel like it's an unfair process politically influenced. >> you reacted to that, turn in the grant from the president and the video. >> it was as creepy and insidious and almost like an sq. i'm behind is because i set my number three from d.o.j. to work with alvin bragg which is not a step up in the career ladder. that smile told me so much that i wrote on twitter, make up a campaign ad. literally the trump campaign did the picture tells a thousand words. >> is senile chucky doll democrats a better description. >> let's look at this from the clinton we recently had new merchant made based on a phrase i hear a lot, the design happened to be finalized today with your purchase you will support on work -- okay. you can see this self-serving merge, she is readily in this. a year public therapy tour we are witnessing. the only thing missing is doctor melfi for the fans out there. with that, much more to come. i want to remind our viewers "fox & friends" weekend his interviewing for president trump the entire interview with trump errors tomorrow "fox & friends" weekend starting 6:00 a.m. eastern. coming up on a jampacked we can show, obama's right-hand man said it will be biden leaving the presidential ticket. >> give up on the fantasy that there's going to be another -- >> raging cajun might have a different theory, whose right?

axelrod or cardinal? >> probably axelrod because of had a bet with my dad on this question for months with a good bottle of wine hanging in the balance here, i think it's going to be biden ultimately on the ticket and as the nominee in november my dad thinks it will be a switcheroo at the convention so we'll see it is a very late hour if they change anything and it's really hard to throw overboard a sitting president is been voted for by millions of people in the primaries who doesn't want to go anywhere and his wife doesn't want him to go anywhere. everything in terms of the way the system works is slanted in the incumbents favor. >> and here we are going into the convention season for those who follow politics, is the most exciting, our olympics so how do they do it. >> i don't know but. >> of joe biden's away right now, there will be theory and revolt in the democrat party if the choices his. >> cardinals say uneasiness in the party, i wonder why. trump is beating him in nevada, georgia, arizona, pennsylvania and wisconsin. i would say they create an ease so who would they replace them with?

border czar? >> let's talk about this, one of the groups joe biden is hemorrhaging, down ten points among voters who don't have college degrees, what is driving their exodus from joe biden and party? >> every group is moving away from president biden, he's done 30 points among black voters way down among hispanic voters because is one insistent eleme element, inflation. attacks on everyone the people feel it in hispanics and blacks particularly, they don't want the southern border open, the jobs are taken away. >> does it have anything to do with voters who don't have college degrees having to be on the hook for those who made bad choices? mimic 30% of the bachelors degree. 62% do not so if you cater to those people, pretty good on the fly, right? to those are saying where's my check or where's my check, people are repaid the loans? >> it could morph into full-blown panic if the polls look the same. after the convention if the polls don't move their way, i think they will be really concerned. >> if it stays the same, i think they are host and i don't mean that as a compliment. i love a slip inside. big weekend show, tents and taunts are back as his agitators poison ivy at columbia university. that is next. ♪ >> on one nation this week, kellyanne conway break down what to do to make the most of the money going into his campaign and so much more. also on our show, chris will break down what's happening on which kansas how we all should have seen this uprising coming with palestinian pro,'s. riley gaines, everyone is talking about paying college athletes, what about the other sports, nonrevenue sports?

younger voters, leaning towards donald trump, i certainly didn't in 2020 because younger people were the ones who really got shafted the most during covid. and you know, it was heartbreaking to see these seniors in 2020 who didn't get proms, who didn't get graduations, and now they're being held hostage on college campuses by these progressive pro-homosexual protesters. and they're canceling a lot of commencement ceremonies. now as well. so i do feel bad for them, and i understand the disillusion, but i will say it's not that the country is being run by bad people, it's that it's being run by bad old people. you know, you've got people who they don't care about younger generations because they're not going to be on this earth for much longer. they're incredibly selfish. and their expiration date was quite a few years ago. we got some bad milk in in washington. so joe gen z, these are people who are born between 1997 and 2012, 20% of the population. we're talking about that feel this way. that's a huge number in an election where it's only going to come down to a couple of thousand votes in several swing states that that could swing the whole election. this stood out to me. a whopping 65% of gen zers either agreed strongly or somewhat strongly that nearly all politicians are corrupt and make money from their political power. and then you look at joe biden, who's aging like potato salad left out in the sun. i know this, i had a barbecue today. it's not pretty. but then you look at the majority of the senate, for example, a majority of the senate is 65 years or older, right? that's retirement age. so young people see all these people represented in in washington. they say, where's our people? right. and then they see aoc and they go, well, then again, maybe those people aren't so bad. a fund that follows nancy pelosi's stock trades is up 57% on the year. so it's like, yes, rich people who have insider information are only getting richer while, you know, first time home buyers can't afford to buy a house. all right. i think we all agree we need some new blood there. all right, coming up. romantic rendezvous or dating disasters?
