Its 6 00 a. M. On the east coast. May 8th, 2024. Our lead story this morning is a fox news alert. Cops in d. C. Clashing with protesters, arresting at least close to 3 dozen as they clear the encampment at George Washington university. [bleep] [bleep] [shouting] [bleep] [bleep] of course, all this happened just hours before d. C. s mayor and police chief head to capitol hill to testify about why they didnt clean things up. Steve, its just a coincidence. Probably right. Plus, a fox weather alert, tornadoes causing all kinds of chaos for our friends in the midwest, for a second day in a row. Even trapping 50 people inside a fedex facility and in a bit of a segue stretch. Stormy on the stand. The judge denying a mistrial but warning prosecutors during her prejudicial testimony and that the view by the way is giddy over the thought of donald trump going behind bars. I dont want this to sound like im doing wishful thinking. Yes. But, which prison would be best . What about Guantanamo Bay . Oh that, would be close maralago. Brian we will see. Could be very disappointed. Fox friends starts right now. Remember, your mornings are better with friends. Roll the animation. Brian fox news alert. Propalestinian protests in our nations capital, this has gone on way too long. Now its going to be harder and harder. Violence is turning. In this morning as officers begin tearing up the encampment at George Washington university. Can someone brush up the statue and get the palestinian regalia off George Washington . D. C. Police saying that they have made at least 35 arrests. The decision to clear it out comes as d. C. s police chief and the mayor there are both expected to appear on capitol hill today to demonstrations at gw. Lucas tomlinson is live on the scene where, lucas, things have calmed down about three hours ago. It is crazy. Thats right. Good morning, steve, brian, ainsley. This is all that is left of the protesters about a dozen here on 20th and Pennsylvania Avenue about three blocks from the white house. Its calm right now. But a far different scene as you just rolled off the top. Hundreds of Police Officers cleared the encampment here, George Washington university about two weeks after it began. The statue of George Washington remains defaced. But, as you mentioned, just hours before, the gw president , d. C. Mayor Muriel Bowser and d. C. s police chief are expected to testify before the House Oversight committee. A decision was made to clear the campus at about 3 30 this morning. Hundreds of police rolled. In at least 35 protesters were arrested. Were told some of them were students some of them were not even a child were told was detained. All is calm right now. This comes as, of course, George WashingtonUniversity President had wanted this camp cleared, issued a statement about it; however, students i spoke to, steve, said the statement was very soft, there is no actual demand do clear the camp they asked police to help out. A little bit of both sidesism were told. Right now the remnants. Things are calm here right now. But the camp has been cleared, police have blocked off 8th street not actually able to get into the encampment, i went over there to see the aftereffects but all the tents that have been on the campus which many people said these protesters were trespassing. And many of the protesters werent even students here at George Washington. Thats what the students told us. Of course we have been broadcasting out from the encampment nearly two weeks now. Right now the encampment here at George Washington has been cleared ahead of that congressional testimony, guys. And lucas, i was reading in the hatchet, which is the George WashingtonUniversity Student newspaper that apparently there were pepper shots fired at the protesters. And apparently a number of the protesters then wound up going to wawa, a nearby wawa to get some water to wash the pepper spray out of their eyes. Right. So, at 3 30 when the police rolled in, it got a little sporty here on the campus of George Washington, steve. The police were using bicycles to clear out the protest. Some resistant. Just before we came on air, the police rolled by and these protesters behind me were yelling f the pigs. They were yelling obscenities at the Police Officers, pepper spray was deployed. In fact, at our cameraman downwind of some of that pepper spray. He got it in the face. Some of the protesters were resisting arrest, steve. Brian real quick, lucas, why havent they cleaned up the statue yet. Why cant they get to the George Washington statue and clean it up . That is probably going to be happening this morning. One of the reasons why the encampment has been blocked off. I would expect that statue to be cleared before the gw president faces House Lawmakers this afternoon because there is no question thats one of the questions she will faces a well as d. C. s mayor Muriel Bowser. Brian look at that inbelievable. G. W. s president said i want the camp cleared. The mayor said no. D. C. Police said no. She put out that long lengthy statement a few days ago. But, again, very soft. It wasnt outright demanding the camp could be cleared, brian. Ainsley now its clearing. Interesting timing, right . Now they are clearing it out right before the mayor and the police chief have to go capitol hill. Thank you so much, lucas. What would George Washington say about this . Brian i think he would be quite upset. I just gave you a country and this somehow you treat me . Ainsley hatchet. Steve cherry tree. Ainsley little boy had a hatchet thought was just a cherry tree his mother said oh my. Brian we cant verify that story. Steve wonderful poem and song. Ainsley we dont know if its true. Your next, book, brian. Brian cherry tree your faulted. Ainsley extreme weather. Steve a fox weather alert. More than 140 Million People in the midwest and the south lands bracing for another day of extreme weather following a Tornadoes Outbreak in the state of michigan overnight. Ainsley homes and businesses were completely destroyed. Several people were injured. And right now more than 30,000 residents are without power. Brian in the city of portage, just south of kalamazoo about 50 people trapped inside this Fedex Building Due to downed wires. Rescue crews able to clear that building before anyone was hurt. Senior meteorologist janice dean is all over this. Janice . Janice another day, unfortunately. We had 126 severe Thunderstorm Warnings. 68 tornado warnings. And one Tornado Emergency in the state of michigan where we saw that incredible damage. This is the states first Tornado Emergency on record. And it was issued at 6 11 p. M. Thats where the Fedex Building and we had all those people trapped. Luckily, no deaths here. Here are some of the top hail reports, four inch hail in michigan. Indiana we saw reports all over social media of the hail damage and the wind and the heavy rainfall. Lets take a look at it right now. This is the live radar. We dont have any tornado warnings. A couple of severe Thunderstorm Warnings and you can see some of that rain moving in towards the northeast and the midatlantic. Thats going to cause travel delays. Heres the severe storm threat again today. Day 3, where we could see the potential for strong storms including tornadoes. This is rated 4 right now for the severe storm threat for parts of these areas, including Bowling Green and nashville, tennessee. Towards the missouri area. South of st. Louis. Also, Flash Flooding concerns. Where we could see several inches of rain in a short period of time. This is the region here in the nashville area, paducah towards knoxville, tennessee. Where you could see Flash Flooding. We have flood alerts already in place in anticipation of this rainfall. And then, tomorrow, stretching from texas all the way up towards the midatlantic and the northeast for the Severe Weather threat. So, several days of a Severe Weather outbreak. Know where you are going to get those watches and warnings. I know we have someone coming up in michigan who is going to talk about that tornadoes emergency, steve, ainsley, brian to you. Steve thats right a tree fell on their house. We will try to get that report up very shortly. Thank you. Ainsley thank you, j. D. In the meantime Stormy Daniels will be back on the stand tomorrow. After the judge denied the defendants request for a mistrial. Steve Brooke Singman joins us now. Requested a mistrial after the judge had to warn Stormy Daniels and her prosecution which her testimony described as risque gave irrelevant and unnecessary details about her alleged 2006 affair with trump. Despite admitting the witnesss hard to control, the judge still decided to proceed with the case. Now, during her testimony, Stormy Daniels was clear on her feelings towards the former president. Trumps attorney asking her, quote am i correct that you hate President Trump . And daniels responded correct. And when asked, quote and you want him to go to jail . Daniels replied if he is found guilty, yes. Daniels was also questioned about how she benefited financially from sharing her story about her alleged affair with trump. But she denied that she was trying to extort him. She did admit though, quote i have been making money by telling my story about what happened to me but she added, quote it has also cost me at love monday. Meanwhile the former president said it was a good day for his team. He did not mention Stormy Daniels. Prevents him from discussing witnesses. Watch. This was a very big day, a very revealing day as you see their case is totally falling apart. They have nothing on books and records and even something that should bear very little relationship to the case. Its just a disaster for the d. A. , for the sorosbacked d. A. Its a disaster. Stormy daniels will be back on the stand tomorrow in manhattan. When trumps Defense Attorneys will continue their crossexamination. Guys . Steve all right, brooke. Thank you very much. You could tell that Stormy Daniels does not like donald trump. Ainsley no. She said she hates him. Steve he would she would like him to go jail if he is found guilty. Brian which is great for the defense because it shows a bias. In fact even paula reed on cnn said the defense is very effectively getting at Daniels Disdain for the defendant. This far has been to this point has been very effective and its dramatic cross. It appears to continue to become even more dramatic. That was throughout the day. So, when you go out and by the way the judge seems to be critical of the defense, yeah. She shouldnt have gotten into such detail but you should have objected more curing the way and the defense came back and said yeah, these are the rules i thought you set out for in the beginning no, i didnt. And then they said okay. Lets throat trial out and the judge said i admit to you they went too far but its not enough to throw this trial out. The judge said yeah, some things would have been better left unsaid because it was pretty salacious. And then said the degree of detail were going into is unnecessary. Recounting the alleged encounter at the lake tahoe hotel. Steve she got into the details of this alleged encounter skeevy, but she was very detailed and right down to the brand of shampoo in his bathroom. By the way it was apparently pert plus. But what is interesting and yesterday we told you this, the Secret Service had been discussing with New York City what to do if donald trump actually violates the gag order again. And the judge throws him in jailing. Yesterday, mayor adams says rix island is ready if trump is says to jail for violating the gag order. That caused the ladies on the view yesterday to to make a point put him in the clink. Why not . [applause] i dont want this to sound like im doing wishful thinks. [laughter] yes. But which prison would be best . You know, im okay if he goes to alcatraz and they reopen it. What about Guantanamo Bay . That would be close to maralago. Trump could come and visit. He wants to be with the hip people. Come on. I expect that, actually, on the view Stormy Daniels contradicted herself at times. She seemed unhinged. She did not look at the other defendants. Not necessarily buttoned up and credible we will see how this goes. They are using her Nickname Porn Name kind of interesting because the other one was out there. So we will continue to wonder. This has got to be the high point of this salaciousness of this trial. They are off today. Because, who else do they have . Karen macdougall and Michael Cohen. Do you belief Michael Cohen, the coo and cfo and other people who said legal expenses. Ainsley trump said im stuck here i would rather be in new hampshire, wisconsin. This gag order my Constitutional Rights have been taken away from me. Brian if its just this in may i dont think anyone can remember a couple weeks or three weeks you missed in may. I think if this goes on with another trial and they got good news yesterday the defense and that is that the documents trial is going to be delayed not only not may 20th. Maybe not even in july because aileen cannon, the judge says they need more time to put this together credible things have to be hashed out. Not been given a date yet. If it gets close, two months out, you dont have the trial. Steve there is no trial today in lower manhattan, they resume tomorrow at 9 00. Ainsley no trials on wednesday. Right . Steve generally. Ainsley okay. Turning now to your headline starting with a fox news alert. The Biden Administration confirming it is holding back the shipment of the 3500 bombs to israel. Over concerns they could be used in the invasion of rafah in southern gaza. A senior official saying, quote we are especially focused on the end use of the 2,000pound bombs. And the impacts that they could have in dense, urban settings, as we have seen in other parts of gaza. That official also saying other Weapons Transfers from the townhouse israel are being closely examined. And then, an antiisrael protest continues to disrupt major cities oea cross the country. Democratic senator John Fetterman expressing frustration last night over why these protests are even happening. Like i dont know why they seem to im not even sure what they are really, you know, protesting about. If you ask them, they are not really sure. They cant you know, and now they are not talking about ceasefires anymore. And now they are talking about divesting and harming israel and all of that. Its crazy. Ainsley the pennsylvania senator went on to say demonstrators should be protesting against hamas. A fedex plane skidding on its nose after making an Emergency Landing at Istanbul Airport in turkey earlier this morning. Officials say the boeing 767 cargo planes Front Landing Gear failed to deploy. The incident caused some delays but, thankfully, no one was hurt. And a frightening incident for a plane full of passengers in seattle. A delta flight forced to quickly evacuate after landing due to a small fire under the nose of the plane on monday night. Oh, its on fire in the front of the plane. Its like on fire. The plane is on fire. Officials say the fire broke out after airplane was plunged into the airports Electric Power following a flight from cancun. The crews deploying that side on the side of the elevator due to an abundance of caution. No word yet if anyone was injured. After 114 years, the boy scouts are no more. At least in name. In an effort to, quote boost inclusion, the boy scouts will become Scouting America Next year. The president of the scouts saying, quote though our name will be new our Mission Remains unchanged. We are teaching young people to be prepared for life. A simple, but very important evolution as we seek to ensure that everyone feels welcome. Scouting. If you want everyone ghek boy scouts and there is 176,000 girls in boy scouts. What is going to happen to girl scouts. Boy scouts down in numbers grab girls bring them over to boy scouts and relabel it . Thats why we have girl scouts. Steve what will happen to girl scouts is very important where will we get our cookies . Thin mints will dry up. One of the reasons behind this in addition to the trying to be more inclusive they say and the rebranding is, you know, and i was a boy scout for like, i dont know, 7, 8 years. Brian until last year. Steve it was a lot of fun. Right up until last year. Brian make a fire with two
