Anywhere mr. I will be there. I do not want to go to the white house. Brian liar. Ainsley and a hawkeye celebration Caitlin Clarks teammates surprise her with a graduation after she couldnt attend the ceremony. [cheers] without that degree she never would have amounted to anything. Ainsley piece of paper in the xerox machine. Brian she would have been so lost. Second hour of fox friends begins right now remember mornings are better with friends. Ainsley right outside of charleston, it is a beautiful place ill of palms. Lawrence im jealous of South Carolina have you beaches. We dont have that in texas. We have galveston but its kind of dirty. Should probably clean it up a little bit. Brian they have had a bunch of hurricanes. Lawrence a lot going on. Brian reminds me of a place out in the hamptons called the boardy barn where they play that stuff over and over again people get really drunk. Lawrence how do you know about this, brian . Brian its been a i will who. I think that song plays 24 hours a day. Ainsley still open boardy barn . I have never heard of that. Brian yeah, it is. Long island, its big. Go out to the harassments and see the boardy barn pull over. You will not have a bad time. Another guy 611 call him lunch. He would with one hand throw out drunk people. It was amazing to watch how many times have you been thrown out . Can i stay inbars. I dont embarrass my family. Ainsley we showed you South Carolina. Its an important state when it comes to this election. So are a lot of these swing states there are new polls out this morning. Brian stunning. Ainsley confirm what we have been telling you before. This is the New York Times siena polls. Steve it is indeed the polls are pretty much exactly the same as november which is just going to terrify the people at the white house. Right now, if the election were held today, the question went. Who would you vote for. In the State Of Pennsylvania Trump leads. In arizona trump leads. Brian by 7. Steve in michigan trump leads. Nevada trump leads. In wisconsin joe biden leads by 2. Brian look back at georgia. Thats 11 now. Georgia, arizona, michigan, i mean, those were all that was biden wins. Ainsley what do you mean 11 . Lawrence look at the margin. Brian by 10. Can we restart the show . Ainsley i thought you were saying data point. Brian i dont mind from lawrence but from you. You are the nice one on the panel. Whats going on. Ainsley he is ahead. Trump is ahead by 12 points. Thats the one thing thats alarming. These polls go up and down. But to see 12 points in a swing state. I think if you are the biden camp, you are shaking this morning and got to ask yourself why . Is it the economy . Is it the border . And, if you were depending on these trials to slow him down, it looks like it is doing the reverse. Steve according to the article, lawrence, what it. Brian look that the crowd. Steve just dropped about an hour ago. Joe biden is losing support with young people and not white voters. They are upset about the economy. They are upset about the war in gaza. Now, heres the part that terrifies joe bidens team 2456789 is we heard that the economy is going to turn around. The trial is going to start. And, also, were going to have a lot of money to spend. They have been able to spend millions of dollars on tv ads in battleground states. The criminal trial has already started. And the stock market is up about 25 from where it was in november. And none of it has helped joe biden. And so that is a problem for joe biden. Of course, its still early. Polls can change. But, nonetheless, people are heading to the exits. Brian right. I think its also important to point out when you look at the distance between them. Some tight. Look at nevada. Is he you up big in nevada. This is pretty good. Also it shows you the strength of trump over the strength of party. Because, in the senate races, the republicans are trailing in nevada. They are trailing in arizona. They are trailing in pennsylvania. They are trailing in wisconsin where the president is up in all those. So, people used to say trump is drag on the ticket . Really on what planet. Ainsley last week we did the tale two candidates. So cool to see so many people out there supporting trump on saturday about. 100,000 people there in new jersey. You just mentioned the crowd. Brian how do you get 100,000. Ainsley seeing joe biden who has these big fundraiser invite only events where 275 for a plate to go and shake hands with him and take a picture. Thats george clooney. Thats now Julia Roberts who is going to do an event with him next week. Then thats also barack obama. Look at trumps crowd. Thats the everyday person. Thats free to go and see him and those are people dealing with inflation and cant afford 257,000 ticket for one event. Lawrence Interviewed Focals in the article, nearly 47 plaintiff trumps supporters say the economy or The Cost Of Living was the most important issue. They talked to this young lady Registered NurseJennifer Wright and she said even me, as a Registered Nurse, im buying kroger brand or store brand, im not buying jiff. We have all had to cut back. To are me, who is the best candidate . Who is the best candidate is who is going to help me in my financial situation to retire. Brian or at least try not to deny it. When you go and see the economy is great. I will yell at you if you ask me again. This goes to show you the biases in the media that would be hard to pick up. He is see 100,000 people. How is this going to be covered. Do you know what the story in the New York Times was. Donald trump Jabs Manhattan prosecutor in profane speech at rally. Really . How about about 100,000 people see him speak for over an hour. Then extemporaneously in weather that was unseasonably cold. Many of which didnt get close to the stage, at which point there was some mention of a prosecutor while no violations of his gag order. Among the people who noticed where this elections is heading, and is somewhat alarmed by it, although mark penn is extremely fair, long time clinton pollster, clinton adviser. He said this in the New York Times. If mr. Biden wants to serve another four years, he has to stop being dragged to the left. And chart a different course closer to the center. This sounds like axelrod. While he wont get any younger, he could still move to the center. Hover up swing voters who desperately want to strengthen trump. Destroying hamas and rally the base at the end. That means, first, pushing back against the base rather than pandering to it. Remember, when it comes to the math of elections swing is king. Steve what joe biden has been talked into doing right now at a point remember, he has locked up the nomination. So has donald trump. So, rather than continue it oplay to the wing, left wing in joe bidens case, he should be playing toward the middle. And thats what mark penn said. Its getting to the point where its almost too late. He said, quote scared candidates are easily sold on the idea that the Democratic Base or Republican Base is going to stay home in november unless they are constantly fed what they want to hear. The Democratic Base is not going to ultimately, he says, in november, the Democratic Base is not going to sit idle i by and let donald trump win. What he says is that he can do some help to his own campaign by going to the middle, which he is not doing. Lawrence the problem with joe biden right now he is not giving us anything to vote for. Lawrence is he invisible. Lawrence as a result we have to default to our current situation, which is an open border, inflation, is he saying that he is not going to renew the trump tax cuts. Good luck, americans. Everybodys taxes going to go up. Not just the richer hes likes to say. The crime is going to continue. Hhe has now become a little fickle with israel telling them to get off the gas. Thats not going to play well. Ainsley mark penn says 40 are going to vote for biden and 40 for trump you need the ones in the middle. Steve that are persuadable brian. Ainsley to focus on base with israel. Massive taxes to your point. Failing to connect on key issues, inflation, immigration and energy. And leaving behind the centrist swing voter. Brian look at martha r raddatz, kristin. Indiscriminately killing babies. They are going by hamas numbers. When israel puts out numbers they say israel puts out numbers unverified. But hamas, we dont verify them but we will use those numbers for certain. Just go to the war colleges. They say that the way they are fighting is extremely the Rough Esther Rain on the planet. And they are being extremely efficient and discriminatory on it. I will bring to you this one statement. If hamas has the weapons that israel has. They would wipe out israel tomorrow. Israel has the ability to wipe out hamas and instead they are weaving through the masses in order to kill people who are in tunnels underneath. Thats why they need the bombs, mr. President , because they built 500 square miles word of tunnels with our money, a lot of it, and they are hiding down there, the Palestinian People are up front and you provide the Precision Weaponry that goes on the kits that go on those bombs they will hit exactly where they are supposed to. Not in your world, they are now sitting there on the dock. Lawrence imagine not even into a year into the war when we were attacked here september 11th, Foreign Countries telling us to get off the gas when Usama Bin Laden was still on the release. Sinwar is still out there causing havoc. Now to a Fox News Alert Major expected star witness Michael Cohen is set to take the stand today. Brian they will be on they say about three days. Eric shawn is live outside the new york state supreme court. Eric . Eric yeah, good morning, brian and guys. He once said he would take a bullet for president trump. Now he will be firing at him from the witness stand starting today. The former president s socalled fixer, the longtime lawyer Michael Cohen expected to tell the jury that it was trump who organized the payments to keep Stormy Daniels silent. So her story would not hurt president Trumps Campaign in 2016. When he takes the stand, cohen is expected to testify about meeting with the president in the oval office in february of 2017. One month into the trump presidency. Cohen claimed at that meeting trump agreed to reimburse him for the money that he paid to stormy and then knowingly lied about it by calling the reimbursements Legal Expenses. At the basis of the 34 false Business Record charges against the former president. But, you know, cohen is a disbarred lawyer convicted felon and already admitted he has previously lied under oath. He has been making a career of attacking his former president. The former president is under a imag order in this case and cant talk about cohen. Take a look at how he savaged cohen during the civil trial last fall. Somebody that is a felon. Thats a grace. Many of his clients by the way not just me. Many clients. But is he a disgraced fellen, felon, andthats the way its ct and i think you all see. This so far through this whole trial no witness has directly tied the former president though alleged scheme. Prosecutors hope Michael Cohen will do just that but, of course, will the jury believe him . Back to you. Steve eric, it all comes down to he is going to say that he paid Stormy Daniels the money ultimately, and then donald trump reimbursed him and then and then Michael Cohen then falsified the Business Records and said they were Legal Expenses, right . He is the guy who put it on the as a legal expense. They had invoices invoiced from Michael Cohen, one would assume expenses. One would say it was the Trump Organization that falsely said it was Legal Expenses and that none of this could have happened without the former president s knowledge and involvement and knowing about it. But you dont have that direct tie, yet. And you may get it from Michael Cohen but, of course, will that be enough. Brian eric what stays in my mind is that Michael Cohen said before this started, theres going to be some surprises. And he september saying over and over again there is going to be some surprises. So far not getting any sur surprises. We will see what happens today. Thank you very much. Im curious to see what is going to happen because the president of the United States is getting penalized for following his lawyers advice. Then i go down and think about it again. All right. Lets say 130,000. It was Michael Cohens idea. No one says it isnt. Says this is what you did. There is a tape out there and one of the tape says if i can paraphrase it says i feel bad that we even made that payment. He goes every one of your experts you talk to say you did the right thing. Say it is 130,000. It is a misdemeanor. How does it become a felony to put somebody in jail . Ainsley is it a misdemeanor in i thought everyone we had on said its not illegal to pay someone. Brian lets say you did what Hillary Clinton did took Campaign Money and paid a law firm, Christopher Steele to do the dossier lets say you did that she got find. Found guilty, fined 450,000. Thats really what this is. Lawrence today, brian, the major point of what Michael Cohen says out of his mouth today. Mr. Cohen, are you still licensed . Are you still able to practice law . Okay. Why not, mr. Cohen, all right. So when it comes to the legal expense, mr. Cohen, you agree that this happened, right . Did you consult the former president to do that . Were you the lawyer that said . How was he supposed to know. If you are his lawyer and you told him this is the way to do it, why is this a thing . Didnt you have a duty to let him know . Did you let your client know that he was breaking the law . I just dont understand why would you put this by on the stand. Brian you have. You have to, lawrence. You have no choice. If he was the only one there with the invoices. Ainsley irony of this whole thing is Michael Cohen is his lawyer and gave him this advice. Donald trump took that advice and now Michael Cohen is the key witness going against donald trump for taking his advice. Brian things go well he will have a tv series. Steve is he shopping it. Ainsley the fixer. The breaker. Steve comes down to if you are in the jury box and listening to the defense beat him up look you have told all these lies in the past. How are we supposed to believe you now. Will the jury think that there is reasonable doubt in his story that he is telling now as opposed to things that he has admitted he lied about in the past . Brian i got some things to follow up on the boardy barn, coming in from the boardy barn correspondent. Carley shimkus i love the boardy barn i choose to work here full time. Steve work at the boardy barn. Brian no, fox. Off today. And also dawn, ohio married she said boardy barn is closed. Then im getting other reports from an Executive Board here that the boardy barn might reopen. Ainsley we need to go. Lawrence do a show from there. Steve brian, you called out lurch, the former bouncer. Lurch, if you are watching right now give us a call triple 8 tell fox. Brian stand by a pole in the middle and look at people. 610. Ainsley eric says its so much fun no one wants to leave the dance floor some people wear diapers. Brian that story. Ainsley it can get a little gross but its a lot of fun. Steve wait, they wear . Brian i do not know that im not saying its not true but i did not know that. Ainsley wear your boots if you go. Lawrence rain boots. Ainsley you know so you dont get stuff on you. Steve i dont ruin a weird kind of barn. A lot going on in that barn. Yuck.
