[chanting] >> bill: you can hear the chants long live the intifada. this is in downtown new york city and they are back at it beyond the pale. pro-palestinian protestors targeting an exhibit in lower manhattan that pays tribute to the victims of the attacks of october 7th. the mob chanting a slogan calling for violence against the jewish state. more on that momentarily coming up here. get to this. it is happening right now on verdict watch in delaware. a jury weighing whether or not to convict hunter biden on three federal gun charges. he walked in with his wife a moment ago. this will be regardless a momentous decision could come down at any moment watching it from new york city. i'm bill hemmer. what's happening? >> dana: i'm dana perino and this is "america's newsroom." there is so much news this morning we'll get to all of it. the anti-israeli exhibit is disgusting and outrageous. this is something that judge jeanine said she thinks we'll get a jury verdict before noon today. hunter biden accused of illegally buying a gun when he was a drug addict. the charges carry a sentence of 25 years if prison. that is unlikely as a first time offender. >> bill: the defense is banking on a homefield advantage. playing up his struggles with addiction hoping it will resonate with the jury in delaware. >> dana: let's go to rich edson outside the courthouse in delaware, where he has been reporting every day on it. >> jurors should be heading into the courtroom shortly. the judge will address them briefly and go back to deliberations. hunter biden is here again. he showed up a short while ago with his wife melissa and attorney abbe lowell. there was some discussion the defense team floated having him take the stand last week. he did not do so and they moved into final deliberations. the deliberations were an hour ten minutes yesterday. the prosecution says there is overwhelming evidence that in october 2018 hunter was a drug user, lied about it on a federal form to buy a gun and illegally possessed that weapon for 11 days. prosecutors recapped text messages, testimony from hunter's texts and the gun store owner who sold him the gun. biden family members in the courtroom which included first lady jill biden saying people sitting in the gallery are not evidence. and that nobody is above the law. the defense acknowledges hunter dealt with the drug addiction from 2015 to 2019. abbe lowell maintains hunter was not a drug user when he bought and owned that firearm. he called the prosecution's case a magic trick relying on evidence of past drug abuse to prove hunter was using drugs when he bought that gun. lowell says there are no photos showing or testimony from witnesses who saw hunter use drugs in october 2018. the deliberations should be underway here shortly. whole bunch of people at the courthouse today. one of those days here. throw it back to you guys. >> dana: sounds like you have a fan. >> bill: catching the micro phone, too. kerri urbahn joins us, too. the bidens' influence and power in the state cannot be underestimated. the sympathetic issue is the one that hunter biden's legal team is focusing on. size that up, kerri, for us today. >> of course, if you are sitting there as a juror directly looking into the eyes of the first lady, hunter biden's stepmother, looking at his family members, you have to remember this is a small town small state kind of feel. of course it is going to move you in some way and that is what i think abbe lowell, the defense attorney, has been shooting for. also why i thought it was especially significant that d.o.j. opened their closing argument yesterday by pointing to them and you have to remember there are several feet away. that's a gutsy move looking directly at family members saying what their doing doesn't matter. this is about evidence and went on to present what feels like overwhelming evidence of hunter biden's drug use both before, during and after the time he purchased the gun including text messages to the widow of his brother who died. he sent a message in the next couple of days after the gun purchase talking about smoking crack, meeting dealers and all that. >> dana: listen to jonathan turley on hannity last night talking about what delaware is like. >> abbe lowell, the defense counsel, put up a series of defenses that collapsed within two days. prosecutors methodically destroyed all of these claims. in a normal case, that jury would have been out for an hour and come back with a conviction. the defense is playing to a delaware jury. this is biden town. >> dana: one thing i wanted to ask you about and had to look up the definition of this so i think it would be helpful for the audience. a possibility of jury nullification. what does that mean and why might it happen here? >> it is pretty simple. it means the jury knows this person is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. evidence and testimony is there but decide to put that aside and basically send a social message to the public saying we know this person is guilty but we think it is more important to acquit him because of whatever the message is they're pushing. here it would be addiction. now i would think, though, they are also contending with the fact just because you are addicted doesn't mean that you have license to commit illegal acts and do all the kinds of things that hunter biden did. again, the evidence was extensive. much more than i realized. on to have of it, a rare thing in a trial. you had the defendant in his own words on tape via his audio book describing extensive illegal activity for years and years and years including around the time period he bought the gun. the jurors had to sit there and looking at hunter biden across the room they are listening to his voice describe all that. >> bill: leo weiss, interesting scenario you present when you are an attorney and looking at people in the audience in the front row who have been there more or less every day since the trial began. weiss said this, was he an addict? did he know he was an addict when he filled out the form? that's all you have to decide. when he decided to lie on that form, that's when the crime was committed. is it that simple? >> normally it really would be that simple. jonathan turley was saying that as well. we live in upside down times. this whole thing wreaks of politics. i mean -- what i mean by that is they could have brought this years ago, the d.o.j. this is a very simple case, open and shut. evidence is overwhelming. they chose not to. why? probably because he was the president's son or then the vice president's and new the ramifications if they brought the charge against him. the sweetheart plea deal fell apart and political pressure to change that. now they've gone the other way. we'll see what happens. it will be interesting to see how the jury contends with all of this and we'll find out today, i think. >> dana: what is your prediction? do you think it will go past noon or easy for them to wrap it up this morning? >> i heard what you said about judge jeanine and i have to defer to the judge given all her years of expertise. i will say, though, there was chatter whether it would go past lunch. typically jurors enjoy a free lunch. so that was part of the discussion at the courthouse yesterday. >> dana: we got word the jury is deliberating now as we speak. we'll find out. regardless it probably will come today before or after noon, who cares, really. thank you so much, kerri. also this on the border crisis. fox cameras capturing hundreds of migrants pouring across the southern border into san diego sector. border crossings continue despite president's biden's action. they are likely to be released into the u.s. matt finn live at the border in california. tell us more. >> all day long yesterday we stood right here and interacted with a very large group of 400 illegal migrants who crossed into the united states in a single clip. these migrants tell us they are organized and gathered by their human smugglers in mexico and then at various times throughout the day and week pushed over into the united states in clusters. we talked to migrants from iran, yemen, china, india, moritania and beyond. we're talking border patrol agents, one or two agents see these groups of hundreds approaching, they brace for them and then once the illegal groups cross, border patrol tries to find the resources to process the illegal migrants. >> just outside of the san diego metropolitan a fresh group of migrants who illegally crossed freely into the united states. now these overwhelmed border patrol agents have to process every one of them. as those migrants wait, they sit in the scorching desert sun for hours. many of the migrants who illegally cross tell us they are taking one, if not many flights into mexico and then they meet their human smugglers who guide them into the u.s. i spoke to one man from india who didn't want his face on camera. he says his passport was taken in mexico, pay to get it back before coming into the united states. >> president biden issued an order last week saying that you are not eligible for asylum anymore because you crossed illegally. how does that make you feel? >> you just tell me i didn't know this news. i don't have a phone there. you just tell me and it is a dilemma. >> the most simple observation you can make here, dana and bill, at the united states border this is a well-oiled machine. human smugglers are abusing the united states. they are abusing our border patrol agents, and they are pushing over hundreds of migrants in a single day sometimes. these migrants tell us they are paying upwards of $10,000 plus to human smugglers. the cartels and human smugglers are being enriched off our united states southern border. dana and bill. >> dana: thank you for the report as your day gets underway as the sun comes up. [shouting] >> you are the stupid one. >> why would you come in here? >> bill: new york city anti-israel protests turning ugly in town. how police responded as groups ta targeted a memorial to victims of october 7th. this is now public, watch half a world away. [gunfire] >> dana: you will want to see this. harrowing new footage showing israeli forces rescuing four hostages held by hamas. >> bill: more bad news for the president. why a top pollster is saying it might be time for him to drop out entirely. [shouting] i look back with great satisfaction on my 32 years in active duty. i understand the veteran mentality. these are people who have served. they've been in leadership positions. they're willing to put their life on the line if necessary. and they come to us and they say, i need some financial help at this point in time. they're not looking for a handout. they're looking for a little hand up. my team at newday usa is going to do everything we possibly can to make sure that veteran gets that loan. veteran homeowners, need cash? call newday usa. i called and got $60,300. you can take out $70,000 or more with a newday100 cash out loan. ♪ rise up this morning, ♪ ♪ smiled with the rising sun ♪ discover our newest resort, sandals st. vincent and the grenadines now open. visit sandals.com or call 1-800-sandals >> bill: here we go now. the jurors are deliberating. the judge brought them back in about 11 minutes ago, asked them if they had talked to anyone, been influenced by anyone, done any research on the case on social media. they all said no and shook their heads and told them to go back and continue deliberations. that's where we are at the moment. hunter biden and his wife were seated in the front row. that's your update as of 9:17 in wilmington, delaware. [chanting] >> dana: chaos engulfing new york city. anti-israel protestors take to the streets in a day of rage sending off smoke bombs and flares and waving flags of hamas. >> bill: the violence also spilling into a subway station. the protestors glorifying the terror attack that killed 364 concert-goers alone marking it, they say, in lower manhattan as a great triumph. one word summed up. inhuman. bryan llenas has the fallout in new york with us as well today. good morning. >> bill and dana good morning. this anti-israel protest began here in union square in manhattan before shifting further downtown to wall street where these protestors were chanting outside of that exhibit meant to remember and honor the lives of the 364 who were murdered by hamas on october 7th at the nova music festival. protestors lit flares and smoke bombs and waved palestinian flags but the flags of hamas and hezbollah terrorist organizations. outside of the exhibit protestors chanted israel go to hell and long live the intifada. largely seen as a call for violence against israelis and jews. listen for yourself. >> long live the intifada. [chanting] >> israel, go to hell. [cheers and applause] [more chanting] >> bill: you could hear them cheering there as well. protestors clashed with officers scuffling over the barricades set up outside. they call it vicious targeting. mike lawlor called it disgusting. the day of rage started in union square protestors clashing with nypd officers and pro-israel supporters who showed up to counter them and the mob unfurled a banner that read long live october 7th. the most deadly attack in israel's history that killed 1200 people. holding up a banner that says long live september 11th. new york city subway in union square saw defacing on the trains with graffiti. officers in riot gear were called and inside subway cars riding inside along these protestors. through all that video, through all of those clashes, six summons were given out. three for those who didn't pay the subway and three for unknown reasons. remarkable restraint by the nypd given what we saw. >> bill: that means they'll be back. bryan llenas in lower manhattan. >> dana: he posted this. biden hit a new all time low in approval. 37.4% at 5:38 yesterday. dropping out would be a big risk but some threshold below which continuing to run is a bigger risk. are we there yet? i don't know but it is more than fair to ask. some argue biden's behavior in public is raising concerns over his age where last night he appears to freeze. ♪ >> dana: we'll run it in full so you can see it there. here with his reaction deputy chief of staff karl rove. your reaction. >> painful, really painful to watch. he also mangled his teleprompter remarks. he is old. he is really old. and nothing between now and the 146 days from now when we vote, finish voting is going to change, i suspect. >> bill: there appears to be this confluence of opinions and ideas at the same time, right? you have the nate silver thing that dana just read. you have atlantic magazine saying 81 he is too old to run for president. either one of those men are right wing crazies. you have to video you just played and overwhelmingly americans are against the whole student loan bail-out. that's four for four in one day. >> add a fifth one. he has a record disapproval rating on his job performance of any modern president and so yeah, this is not good news for him. look, it is late but remember, all the delegates to the democratic national convention have largely been selected. people who were vetted by and named by the biden team. so they are more traditional democrats. this won't be a convention nominated -- dominated by bernie b b bros. he said i have a lot of things on my plate. the world with big challenges, i focus my attention on that and leave it up to the convention who the nominee is. the maneuvering and ratings for the chicago convention would be off the charts. nobody would get the nomination on the first ballot which means on the second ballot the super delegates, house of lords of the democratic party could begin to vote. nominate somebody and america would want to find out who that person is and spend a lot of time the end of august deciding. it could be something new and fresh puts the democrats ahead and on their way to victory. we don't know but look, that was painful last night and nothing will change between now and november. >> dana: i was talking to bill about this before our show. and because you were there in the white house and many people have worked in white houses. we were there. one thing i remember learning is that when the rubber hits the road, there is only one person in our country who can make a decision, if necessary, to protect the country. and they have to be able to make that decision in a split second based on principle, knowledge gathering. you can't defer to aides when a big decision like protecting the country would come to be. i hesitate because i do respect the presidency. i respect the president of the united states. i respect the office. i respect my elders but i look at this and i think how could anyone feel confident? the white house wants to say these are selective videos, cherry picking. that isn't the case. it is happening all the time, much more regularly. i think the seriousness of this really does need to be stated. in some ways you can make fun and have funny memes. >> bill: it is a singular decision. >> dana: the seriousness here that is overwhelming right now. >> it speaks to the selfishness of joe biden and the biden family. does jill biden, his wife, think history will treat him well? does his sister, valerie, who played a big role in his campaigns since he ran for county council, does she think this will get a good mark in history? let's say he wins, which the more that people see of him, the less likely that is. let's say he wins. is if next four years going to see a renewed and vibrant and on top of it joe biden? no, i don't think so. and the country is not well served. we have 336 million people. is this the best that we can do for the most important job on the face of the planet? i don't think democrats have asked themselves that question, otherwise they would certainly be answering no, we the democrats can do better is what i think they would say. >> bill: we wanted to talk to you about nevada. save it for another day. breaking news coming up. dana, coming up. >> dana: we talk more about politics on the perino on politics podcast. you can catch it now. >> bill: the update from wilmington. hunter biden departed at 9:21 a.m. when we were speaking with carl about 5 1/2, six minutes ago. biden will have to be back in court for the verdict. he will not come back for any notes from the jury, hum. in new york trump had to be there any time the notes were read back. once the jurors indicate they have a verdict it will be 15 to 30 minutes before court gets back in session. basically however long it takes for hunter to get back there. that's the note that we have from wilmington on behalf of our producers working that story. we're on it. could come any moment. 9:28 in new york. let's get to this. >> today one of the most important front lines is in taiwan where brave and inspiring people build a future of freedom in the shadow of china's growing and menacing authoritarian power. >> bill: what comes of this?

[music playing] >> dana: welcome back. 15 minutes ago hunter biden left the courtroom because the jury is deliberating and he does not have to stay in the building while they do that. we're awaiting this verdict in his federal gun trial today. it could happen today if the jury sends back a note to the judge that says we're ready to go it could take 30 to 15 minutes to be organized. hunter biden has to be back in court for that particular piece. right now he is not in the building. >> bill: from delaware we move to this. keep an eye on it leaving nothing to chance over one of the more contested areas of the world. the u.s. military said to be unveiling a so-called hell scape strategy if china were to invade taiwan. it calls for the use of thousands of drones. republican senator dan sullivan just got back from a trip to southeast asia and with us in person. good morning to you. you meet with taiwan's president and others. admiral, commander, i will turn the taiwan strait into an unmanned hell scape. i can make their lives utterly miserable for a month that buys me the time for the rest of everything. you want to flush that out? >> i'm a big fan of the admiral. he started in the job and aggressive and i like his aggressiveness. i was over there meeting with the taiwanese leadership. we moved over to singapore to meet with allies that we have in the region. here is the challenge. our ship building capacity is in a crisis in the u.s. navy is dramatically shrinking. the admiral, a great plan, but we don't have the navy to execute that at all. the biden navy, let me give you some of the numbers, has gone from 293 ships to 280 ships by 2027 that's when xi says he wants to be ready for an invasion of taiwan. meanwhile, china's ship building will go to over 400 ships by 2027. we're being outmatched in a huge way. i know the admiral is very concerned about that. i've spoken to him. >> dana: you laid out these numbers here. people can see the vast amount. why is it so important for us to have ships like this? that might sound like a simple question but we're in the department of asking dumb questions. is answer is obviously what it is but i want to hear you explain to the american people why does this matter? >> this matters hugely with regard to the -- our interests in the south china satisfy. the entire u.s. navy that is shrinking dramatically. our main adversary, china, is going through the biggest peacetime build-up of the military in history. this is what happens when you have an aggressive dictator who sees an opportunity. our weakness ising -- the secretary of the navy is not focused on ship building nor is the biden administration or war fighting. this secretary of the navy is more in climate change, if you can believe that, than he does on war fighting and ship building. when you show this kind of weakness with an adversary, it invites chaos. we're seeing that all over the world. >> bill: if trump were to win in november how would it change? >> we're heading back to d.c. in the next hour and marking up the defense authorization act. a bunch of us, bipartisan group of senators have major amendments to try to fix our ship building. i think this would be a great initiative. a number of us are talking about this already with members we think of the incoming trump administration, hopefully president trump wins in november. this would be a very important initiative that i think is tailor made for president trump. think about this. in terms of republicans, whether it's teddy roosevelt with his great white fleet, reagan who built a 600-ship navy. this exactly what republicans do. peace through strength. >> bill: when we went to the arctic a couple of months ago is ice breakers. putin had 54. some nuclear powered. >> almost all are weaponized. >> bill: we have two and one is broken in dry dock. >> we're overmatched in so many parts of the world. the arctic is my home. that's alaska. but the russians and chinese in terms of naval assets are overmatching us all over the world. we have to fix it. we've done this before. we know how to build ships. we know how to build a military. right now with this administration, every year president biden has put forward a budget that shrinks the army, shrinks the navy and marine corps. that is the wrong message to be sending our enemies. >> bill: seems like an issue that goes under the radar. >> dana: if republicans win more seats in the senate you could have two additional veterans who are then maybe more military minded and can help you get it across the finish line. >> we have great candidates and we'll get back with peace through strength when president trump takes the white house and the republicans take a senate. >> bill: we're watching the jury deliberations in wilmington, delaware. the hunter biden gun trial. they're deliberating. i guess you could say they are in hour number two with one hour yesterday under their belt. more on that could get a verdict any moment. stay tuned. apple taking a powerful stance in the a.i. space. the after shock could have a lasting impact on the tech world and the phone that you are holding in your hand right now. ♪ dad is a legend. and his legendary moves might be passed down to you. ancestrydna can show you which traits were inherited, where they came from, and who he shares them with. but get movin', this sale is only for a limited time. they get it. they know how it works. more importantly, it works for them. i don't have any anxiety about money anymore. i don't have to worry about a mortgage payment every month. it allowed me to live in my home and not have to make payments. linda, dinah, joanne, very different people... but they do have a couple things in common. they love their home, and they know their stuff. they all talked about the counseling they got, so they knew how a reverse mortgage worked... and how it could be a real financial solution for their retirement. if you're 62 or older and own your home, find out how you could access your home's equity to give you cash now, and when you need it in the future. a reverse mortgage could put more money in your pocket by eliminating your monthly mortgage payments, paying off higher-interest credit cards and covering medical costs. a person like me needed to get a reverse mortgage it changed my life, it was the best thing i've ever done. really?

a lot of folks wonder why you pushed this down the throats of nursing homes and then took so long six weeks to reverse it? >> okay. the premise of your question is wrong and if you actually read what has been found by the investigations, it says the opposite. the department of justice found no wrongdoing and investigation said explicitly we followed the federal guidance. cms and cdc did very extensive instructive guidance and the investigations say new york followed the federal guidances. >> why not make it a recommendation instead of a mandate? >> we followed the federal guidance. that would be a question for the federal government. >> bill: we'll see when they go behind closed doors how this goes. we'll get a transcript of the interview at some point and let you know what his position is now. the former governor of new york on the hill. all right, dana. what's happening? >> dana: the american dream could be yours but a pretty penny. millions of potential home buyers are grappling with sky high mortgage rates and low inventory. there are no houses to buy. the biden administration says their luck will turn, it will take another four years. edward lawrence is live outside of the federal reserve. hi, edward. >> they say they need more time on this. the american dream out of reach for many folks because of the cost of a mortgage as well as the cost of a home. the price of a 30 year fixed under 7%. 87% of mortgages in the united states are under 6% and 60% of those mortgages are under 4% in the united states. chief economist for the national association of realtors said those people are sitting on homes, limiting supply and keeping prices higher and doesn't help the average home sale price in the first quarter of this year $513,000, up 29% from when president biden first took office. >> those who have properties, they are doing well. home prices high. those who want to participate, first-time buyers are struggling. we have this social divide. hard to jump to the next level, which is the reason why it's critical that we have more supply in the future years. >> they believe we need 50% more supply of homes on the market. new regulations from the biden administration announced last month adds $30,000 in the cost of the home. it all comes back to supply and demand. shortage in homes keeping prices higher as well as the cost of a mortgage. back to you, the american dream is out of reach for many. >> dana: 30,000 more? that's a lot. thank you, edward. >> yeah. >> dana: fox news alert. day two of jury deliberation is underway right now in hunter biden's criminal
class="nosel"> oftentimes, that you have an illness. so people, they turn inward. that is the instinct. that is what brian and i are b trying to encourage people to fight against because when they do come forward, their voices are so powerful and having been in government and advocacy for so long prior to our diagnosis, i mean, our whole job for so e many years was to elevate people who were affected by policy. when that happened to us, we knew that even if we were just one voice, even if you are just one voice, being public, if you have one of these illnesses, ve can have such an impact. >> that is all the time we have for today. thank you for joining us the r saturday morning. we're back tomorrow at six:00 a.m. with two more hours of t"morni joe" weekend. we will see you then. u then ♪♪ good morning. it is saturday, june 8. i am alicia menendez with symone sanders-townsend and michael steele. right now, president joe biden is in paris in a crucial fight for democracy both at home and abroad. the latest on the ground in just a moment. >> breaking news from his rule. the military says it has rescued four hostages from gaza. we are live in the region with those details. also this morning, republican calls for retribution after the guilty verdict. they are stronger and more specific. get your coffee and settle in. welcome to "the weekend". ♪ ♪ we begin this hour with breaking news. we have a busy saturday for president biden on the world stage. right now the president is in a meeting with emmanuel macron following a procession the two leaders participated in earlier this morning. they are expected to deliver remarks later this morning. this is all part of the president's trip to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the allied invasion of normandy and world war ii. throughout the visit, the president has emphasized the threat to our democracy, not just here at home but also abroad. it is as urgent as it was 80 years ago. joining us now to discuss is staff writer for the atlantic and msnbc contributor and former homeland security and counterterrorism advisor to vice president mike pence, welcome to you both. >> this was quite the week for president biden to stand on the global stage in a way that he did to talk about the urgency of this moment in democracy and relating it back to history. what was your take on what the president had to say and how do you think it resonated, not just with our european allies but here at home? >> there we go. >> i get it. i think he did an excellent job and he is an excellent leader on the world stage. it was critical to show that face to the world and also to americans. you know, i think michael, you know, he did have sort of that reaganesque quality and i thought it was important to talk about, you know, the people that have served in the military, the lives that have been given to freedom and that is really what is at stake here. you know, i saw some criticism on fox and other channels, why isn't he attacking trump in this moment? he never mentioned trupp. he never mentioned him by name, i don't believe. i think what he needed to say is that this is a bigger choice, bigger choice then each and every one of us, it is a choice about what do we want our future to be as a country? let's honor those lives that served. important stuff. >> olivia, the words of president biden were so poignant, i thought spot on, let's play a little bit of what he talked about when it comes to hardships of american democracy. this is the president in normandy, france on friday with emmanuel macron. >> we talk about democracy. american democracy. we often talk about the ideals of life, liberty, pursuit of happiness. what we don't talk about is how hard it is, how many ways we are asked to walk away, how many instincts are to walk away, the most natural instinct is to walk away. to be selfish, to force our will upon others, to seize power and never give up. american democracy asked the hardest of things, to believe in something bigger than ourselves. >> does anybody think michael -- donald trump could have given that speech? alicia, i don't know. >> it is a rhetorical question. it speaks to all the reporting you have been doing, which is the impossible to watch president biden on the world stage without doing a compare and contrast, not just us, people who show up on cable news but as an american watching at home and certainly if you are an ally watching. >> yeah, the themes biden is sounding in the speeches and throughout these events commemorating d-day are very familiar themes from past administrations and frankly, both parties. to olivia's point, sounds like ronald reagan, george h. bush, george w. bush, not a very popular president abroad. in certain things, there has been a bipartisan consensus in this country for a long time. one of those things is the important aspect of the transatlantic relationship and the fact it is rooted in western democratic values and belief that america is supposed to align with other democracies and that alliance is a safeguard for the rest of the world and what is interesting is that speech biden gave would have been completely uncontroversial and unmemorable, you know, just a few short years ago. now it is like, you know, right in the middle of a massive domestic political debate about what role america should play in the world and what it does to its allies. that compare and contrast is really start this year. >> you touched on that, mckay, actually, in a great observation of your fears, the irony of the obsession with the election is that the people who decide this are not thinking about your much at all. in part, it is because many americans have not seen the need for nato in their lifetime, despite the fact that this september 11th terrorist attacks were the only time article 5 has been invoked. you touched on a very important point about disconnection. actually and ironically, something george bush 43 warned about on the heels of 9/11. we cannot forget this moment. we feel good, we are unified now, we understand we are standing in defense of our values and we are prepared to prosecute the case against terrorism but all of that is dissipated, that connection to those institutions that hold all of this together and i think biden, being there, and saying what he said was important, but you point out the fact that there is still this tension, this disconnect that needs to be reconciled between us and europe, between our role in the world and the rest of the world and how we, as americans, look at these institutions. >> so i was traveling throughout europe this spring and talking to european officials and diplomats and the thing that kept coming up is this real sense of uncertainty about what america is anymore, right? because for 75 years, since world war ii, your even when they disagreed with people we elected, even then they didn't really like certain administrations, they trusted in america to be a reliable ally. america was the linchpin to the nato alliance, it was going to be a generally responsible member of the global community, right? that first trump term really did damage to america's reputation and to the trust america could be relied upon. again and again, i would hear these european officials sort of ask me, what does it mean that donald trump is currently leading in the polls? >> what's wrong with y'all? >> because they finally remember the u. s. that stormed the beaches of normandy, that is the your -- america a lot of europeans still remember and we wonder how many europeans remember that. >> to crystallize that point, olivia, let's listen to something liz cheney put out, called our great task. take a listen. >> one's country is worth dying for. democracy is worth dying for because it is the most deeply honorable form of government ever devised by man. all of you love liberty. all of you were willing to fight tyranny. you knew the people of your countries with -- were behind two. today we give thanks for all that was gained on the beaches of normandy. we remember what was lost with respect, admiration and love. this freedom and these hopes are with the heroes of dj fought and died for. >> america deserves a president as good and steadfast as our nation. a president of character, driven by a noble purpose, one who honors the sacrifices of our troops, not a man consumed by spite, revenge and self-pity. >> you don't need to say the name, olivia, to know who it is they are talking about there. >> yeah, you don't. at this time, it reminds me of trump saying these people are losers and every time i think about that, a president of the united states would ever say something like that, my stomach turns. watching that ad and thinking about my time during the trump administration working in national security, i think what lacked among some of the inner circles, including trump himself was a greater purpose of service and i don't think that any of these people that is in his inner circle, i am talking about his enable us and him, understand a greater calling, understand something that you belong to that is bigger than yourself and bigger than your selfishness of what these people have exhibited because most of them never did serve. they don't understand military service, they don't understand the intelligence community, they don't understand public service. i think it is a threat to not remind ourselves to what the president, as what they stand for and what they represent and what they will eventually do. a reminder, we will likely pull out of nato because those discussions were had during the trump administration. the reason the world is so concerned about what is about to happen should he return to office is because i was in those meetings when we were having serious discussions with warren hendrix, where the narrative for a daily basis, where he would say, i thought we agreed to this and it would change. we did this on venezuela. i am telling you, i covered africa for vice president pence, i sat in these discussions where there would be a commitment made and they would pull the rug out from under him. that is not how you do diplomacy. that is not how you do these diplomatic relations. they are so critical and so challenging. >> olivia, people at home may not appreciate fully what you are saying because literally all the thing is you do this, i will do that and we come to an agreement. people need to keep their word, that is it. not even just the idea but the fact, we often talk about it but the choice, as alicia noted, the stark choice that is before the american people could not have been made more clear today, this week, frankly, with what we saw from president biden juxtaposed with the republican nominee. the nato , 80 years ago when ad happened, nato was not established. was allied troops that came together, the world came together and took the beaches of normandy. it was that time in normandy that turned the tide to end world war ii, it led to the establishment of nato world cooperation years later and we are in a severe moment, the president talked about linking ad to what is happening in ukraine and the fight right now , i want to play that for you and see how you guys talk about it on the other side. >> between dictatorship and freedom, it is unending. here in europe, we see one stark example , ukraine has been invaded by a tyrant for domination. ukrainians are fighting with extraordinary courage, suffering great losses, but never backing down. the united states and nato, a coalition of more than 50 countries, standing strong with ukraine. we will not walk away. >> mckay, it sounds to me like the president is standing in front of the world trying to convince people, making everyone feel okay that as long as i am here, we will be standing with ukraine but as the "time" magazine article said about a week ago about american presidents, they must earn their mandate and we don't know if joe biden will earn his. >> yeah, that's right. again, going throughout europe and talking to these european officials, the thing i heard again and again was, look , the biden administration has been great. they are doing everything they can to say the right things and they are trying to reassure allies who were around during trump's administration. at the end of the day, the biden administration can only do so much. i even spoke to officials in the biden administration in washington who say we are ambassadors out there, trying to reassure allies, they got their talking points. these people in europe are smart, right? they know the promises that joe biden is making only go so far and, you know, because the outcome of the election is going to determine the future of america's approach to alliances. >> mckay and olivia, you will stick with us and we will continue this conversation in just a moment. now to other breaking news is our. four israeli hostages have been rescued in raleigh -- a a live by idf. they were kidnapped from the nova music festival on october seventh. one of

rescued. there 245 day nightmare coming to an end. nbc news foreign correspondent ref sanchez joins us now. what are you hearing about the condition of the hostages and the next steps in the coming days and how will this come together? >> reporter: michael, the idea is that these four hostages freed from gaza are in good condition medically. we have seen pictures of noa argamani, the viewers will remember, that young woman being taken into gaza from the music festival on october 7th on the back of that motorcycle, her hands outstretched to her boyfriend, who was also being kidnapped. he was marched away into gaza. we have seen images of her this morning at a hospital in the greater tel aviv area. you can see her there, reuniting her -- with her father. it is extraordinary to think that eight months and one day after she was kidnapped, she is smiling, she is laughing. she is speaking with her family. she spoke on the phone earlier today with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. it was very interesting, guys, she said in that phone call, i haven't spoken in hebrew in such a long time, which suggests she was being held on her own, away from other hostages. that does appear to chime in with the report we are getting from the israeli military, detailed, obviously, still emerging. just setting the scene here, this was in the center of gaza in broad daylight at 11:00 a.m. the israeli military says hundreds of soldiers took part, there was a part from air and by sea. they say they stormed two separate buildings that we believe noa argamani was being held on her own in one of those buildings and the three male hostages were being held in a separate building. at least one israeli soldier was seriously wounded in this raid but this seems to be the single greatest success in terms of hostage rescue we have had, that is ruled has had in the course of this eight months. you will remember, guys, only three other hostages had been rescued alive up until this point. today four hostages in just a couple of hours. now you can see noa argamani on your screen. she is speaking to israeli president isaac herzog, who was telling her just how overjoyed his rule is to see her say, to see her home. there have been celebrations across this country today. the lifeguards on the beach in tel aviv announcing the news over a loudspeaker. people jumping up and cheering in front of the mediterranean on this saturday here in is ruled. we met the father of noa argamani on october 8, less than 24 hours after his daughter had been kidnapped by hamas. he is at her side right now. her mother, as far as we know at this point, is not. her mother is dying of brain cancer. for these eight months she has been telling the world her dying wish was to see her daughter once again. she is in very serious condition at another hospital in tel aviv, but we believe mother and daughter are going to be reunited later on today. noa's boyfriend, who you see in that video from october 7th being marched by a crowd of militants into gaza, remains one of the 120 hostages still being held. this is obviously a moment of joy, while this is obviously a moment of joy for noa and her family, her partner remained inside gaza, his fate unknown at this hour, as is the fate of so many of those 120 other hostages. well there is celebration here in israel, there is mourning in gaza right now because there are reports of at least 50 people killed during this israeli raid. we know there was intense bombardment by israeli aircraft, by israeli ships to cover the special forces and moved in. we don't know how many of those 50 or so killed were militants, how many of them were civilians. this is just an enormous, enormous moment here in is ruled. it is really hard to overstate the happiness here. one israeli friend told me the whole country is crying. guys? >> nbc, thank you so much for that report. next with olivia troye and mckay coppins will be back with us to discuss mckay's new piece about a potential special -- second trump term and we will discuss the news breaking out of his rule. you are watching "the weekend". e weekend".

because he was afraid his hair would become disheveled. remember, that day it was raining. he did not want to go to the cemetery because it was raining. more importantly, to his staff, his senior staff he remarked, quote, why should i go to that cemetery? it's filled with losers. and then he referred to the more than 1800 marines who lost their lives as suckers for getting killed. olivia, in the context of the work you have done in foreign- policy, what does it mean to contrast, and i think it is important for the american people to get this contrast in leadership, a man who refuses to visit the men who sacrificed themselves for freedom and democracy on foreign shores, right, because he didn't want to get his hair messed up and looked at them as suckers and losers versus a president who stands on that hollowed ground and reminds us of our call to destinies, to destiny as citizens of the world, that this fight for democracy is an important battle and we must be engaged in it together. >> okay, i think it is a critical reminder of what trump views value to be in a situation like this, which is himself and no one else. there is no interest in military baller. he doesn't think about the lives of these people and going into critical international situations, where you are making decisions on troops, when you are making decisions on intelligence officers and what is the next step, deliberations that are very calculated, i want americans to remember that. these are your sons, your daughters, your brothers, sisters, moms and dads and remember that there is the potential to have a president back in the oval office that will make those decisions along the way where he will have complete disregard for what it truly means when these people deploy and what happens to them. in other ways, he has no regard or respect for the fact of what it means to serve, right? that is why you end up with classified documents at mar-a- lago because he forgets that in those classified documents there are lives at risk. there our sources there. there are people there put at risk every day with the possibility of that information getting into the wrong hands because he doesn't hear and he doesn't think about things that way. he only thinks about himself. this is a leader solely focused on his own qualities which is why, by the way, he doesn't think about the alliance with nato. he doesn't think about european allies that really actually have our backs should there be a critical moment when they need them. he is thinking about dictators and his best friends are people like victoire ben, these are leaders he looks up to. that is a direct contrast between what president biden is and what former president trump is. that is what we think about and remember. >> i think the top line from your extensively reported piece is that the allies are watching this election understanding the existential crisis. you have the last 30 seconds, you are take away. >> yeah, i mean, the two things that stood out to me in all my conversations in you are, one, they are intensely focused on this election in america. everybody is paying attention. according to polling data from battleground states. the second, almost all of them believe trump is going to win. i found myself in a position saying, it is not a foregone conclusion, it is a tight race, anything could happen. scared is the best way to put it. they are scared of what will happen to the nato alliance, to european security, what it will signal to russia, to china, if donald trump comes back into office and abandons his allies. they rely on american stability and americans steadfastness for its alliances and they do not think they will get that with donald trump. so chilling. mckay coppins and olivia troye, thank you so much for getting us started. as january 6th community -- committee members are in jail, we will talk to the directors of the new documentary next. you are watching "the weekend". i thought i was sleeping ok... but i was waking up so tired. then i tried new zzzquil sleep nasal strips. their four—point lift design opens my nose for maximum air flow. so, i breathe better. and we both sleep better. and stay married. nothing dims my light like a migraine. with nurtec odt, i found relief. the only migraine medication that helps treat and prevent, all in one. to those with migraine, i see you. for the acute treatment of migraine with or without aura and the preventive treatment of episodic migraine in adults. don't take if allergic to nurtec odt. allergic reactions can occur, even days after using. most common side effects were nausea, indigestion, and stomach pain. it's time we all shine. talk to a healthcare provider about nurtec odt from pfizer. if you're living with hiv, imagine being good to go without daily hiv pills. good to go off the grid. good to go nonstop. with cabenuva, there's no pausing for daily hiv pills. for adults who are undetectable, cabenuva is the only complete, long-acting hiv treatment you can get every other month. it's two injections from a healthcare provider. just 6 times a year. don't receive cabenuva if you're allergic to its ingredients or if you're taking certain medicines which may interact with cabenuva. serious side effects include allergic reactions, post-injection reactions, liver problems, and depression. if you have a rash and other allergic reaction symptoms, stop cabenuva and get medical help right away. tell your doctor if you have liver or kidney problems, mental health concerns, and if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or considering pregnancy. some of the most common side effects include injection-site reactions, fever, and tiredness. with cabenuva, you're good to go. ask your doctor about switching. why would i use kayak to compare with cabenuva, you're good to go. hundreds of travel sites at once?

>> joining us now are the directors of the documentary of "the sixth", award-winning filmmakers. this is the best documentary i have ever seen. i have never watched prior to this more than five minutes of footage from january 6th. this is , this centers the people. i just want to play this piece from the documentary, a staffer who worked at the white house and congress and talks about assuming the worst. >> i had to assume the worst. i had to assume these people were armed. you kind of go into survival mode. i remember essentially casing the office, what can i use as a weapon? i remember feeling like, whatever is in here that is heavy is what i will have to use you know? if it comes to that. >> andrea, when you look at this as a complete scenario, right, from start to finish, you now have president trump out here talking about giving basically solace to those insurrectionists by pardoning them and making the case that the january 6th committee members should be indicted. when you look at what you guys captured, juxtaposed against that background, what is your reaction? what should we know that donald trump clearly doesn't know about what happened that day? >> thank you. what i want, i want people to know what we now know. i think that we had the luxury of being able to spend over a year plus with our team looking and scouring the footage, finding the right people, finding six people who just went to work that day to tell the story and that what we stitched together from beginning of day to the end was one of the most violent, heartbreaking, gut punching days in american history. people think they know january 6th but they don't. they don't know the scale of the violence. everyone that was in the capitol that day thought they were going to die. there was the sense of 10,000 plus people surrounding this building and breaking in. it is criminal. it was violent. i think people just saw this in pieces. they don't quite understand the mass in the scale and the threat. we are so lucky more people did not die at the end of that day. we are eternally grateful to the people that did their job that day and the next day, who served in the legislature, congress, journalism and law enforcement. we should be thankful of the fact law enforcement is being booed at and hissed, they actually did their job and protecting the lives of the lawmakers that are now turning their back on what happened that day is despicable. you know? there is a code and ethic to every single person that we profile in this film about how they do their job and thank goodness they did. the outcome could have been so much worse if they hadn't. >> to that point about law enforcement, here is the photographer talking about the picture he took. >> if they wanted to kill him, they would have killed him. the man pleaded for his life. he told people he had kids. it is kind of crazy. if i had to put a dollar on it, i would say everybody was like, blue lives matter, blue lives matter. [ bleep ] didn't matter that day. i felt for him. i have a son. i thought about what it would feel like for him if some weak happened to me, you know? this is a another human being. >> part of what i appreciated is that you centered the voices of those who were impacted on that day but their reflections about the crowd and who showed up and the inconsistencies around their theories of justice, sean, are laid bare. >> yeah. we, i think it was important for us to give a voice to the people that went through that day and what they went through and personalize it. i think it is really important. i think, with the crowd there, we also did something i think was important. we listened in our area found. you hear things in our film you don't here in our own soundbites and it talks about, he is talking about being right next to this man pleading for his life, pleading because he has kids. you also hear how he is capturing all the different things the crowd is saying, the crowd is saying, take their guns. the crowd is saying, you are going to die tonight with such conviction you can hear it in their voice that you believe it. i think people need to take this all in as a beginning of the day to the end of the day through the personal experiences of the six people that we follow and kind of decide what you think about the people that were in the crowd that day, what their intentions were and what could have happened. >> what could have happened, i mean, there is a part in the film where former metropolitan police chief conti talks about a phone call that he had, he was part of that with mayor bowser and literally pleading for help from the national guard. the dee was deployed to the capitol to do something to help. the capitol police call for help, the national guard, this call was just, we will play a clip because it is so hard to believe. you wonder what trump would do if he were in office again, we know what he did on january 6th. take a listen. >> we had a phone call that was can be by myself, the mayor, the district of columbia d.c. national guard, the u. s. capitol police chief where he essentially was pleading for assistance from the national guard. in response to that, whoever on the other side from the representatives from the defense department, the discussion then switched to talking about optics and boots on the ground and what that would look like, which, you know, in a crisis situation, i don't care what it looks like. it looks like help to me. >> it took hours until the national guard was approved. donald trump put that video out. when he put that video out, people finally did go home. it just really feels like he knew what he was doing. >> that is a big part of it for me. when you step back, what the sub story i think you guys captured here is the other stuff that was going on in the face of all of the drama and the tragedy on the hill, the stub story was the white house wasn't doing anything. there was no real effort and i think that cut really embraces that part of it. when you are putting this story line together and you are talking it through, how did you capture that? you said, this is the other side of this. we could show you, you know, donald trump and the roosevelt room sitting there watching television eating a hamburger. you know that is what is going on. you know that was the rest of the story, why the d.c. police were so animated about the lack of response from federal law enforcement at the highest level. >> yeah, it was a different type of film for us. we had this huge kind of forensic timeline in our office. we were looking at all the different things, all the things playing out that day and when we stepped back and we said, where is the national guard? we know that, we know what happened. i know what happens, i see the national guard, they are always around. they do what they are supposed to do. we were just scratching our heads. why are we talking about this? it was actually andrea that so we needed to do a deep dive in that and then the chief started talking about that and he said, you know, he basically said the national guard is not here and i will do it and do my duty. the capitol is under attack. i will do whatever i can. i will get local law enforcement to come and help. that is what they did. why are not people talking about this? d.c. police for for hours, especially in the tunnel, four or five hours they were underhand to hand combat. police arrest people in under 10 minutes. they are not trained to fight hand to hand combat like that, you know? >> you could argue that the powers that be that had the authorization to release and deploy the guard to help weren't aware of what was going on. the entire world was watching what was going on. i think that is what is so upsetting. why wait that long? that is what we felt was so important. once we realized how soon they were asked and how many hours, everybody is seeing the horrific violence going down, this all could have been stopped. you are watching it in real time as the violence increases and spins out of control. >> it took them 15 minutes to get there when they were deployed. 15 minutes. >> andrea nix fine, sean fine, fine work, good work.
