Michael cohen now en route to that new york courtroom to take the stand in just about an hour and a half, likely facing a crossexamination from trumps attorneys as Senator Kennedy Afters A Seering take on this trial. This trial, i thinks more about our politics, than about our alleged crime. This is not supposed to happen in america. Ainsley judge jeanine straight ahead on that. Steve President Biden today set to tout his economic agenda as shocking report shows family of four in the United States need to earn 170,000 a year to live comfortably and that is in the cheapest states. Brian it changes state by state. Thousands gather in washington, d. C. To remember Fallen Heroes and support their families. Express the closeness and how much camaraderie is. You look around and see all these people, one huge family across the country. Lawrence lawrence final hour of Fox And Friends starts now. Ainsley just over an hour from now, Michael Cohen expected to be back on The Stand In Former president trumps trial. Lawrence House Speaker mike johnson will be in court today to support the former president. Steve hell be in the courthouse and outside eric shawn has been there from the getgo, he is outside the u. S. State supreme court. Wait for the crossexamination. Trumps lawyer will try to rip Michael Cohen apart, tear his story piece by piece, leaving him battered and bloodied on the witness stand. In stunning testimony from Michael Cohen, trumps former lawyer and loyal fixer implicated the president into the scheme to falsify record to protect the 2016 president ial campaign. After court, former president quoted jonathan turley. The whole world is laughing at new york weaponized legal system. Watching this unfold in this courtroom as a lawyer is deeply disturbing. They keep referring to documents, the documents show the nda, and payment that is not in dispute. Michael cohen directly tied trump to the whole thing telling the jury when the president was sho shopping found out Stormy Daniels was shopping her story around he thought it was going to be a disaster so he paid her from his Home Equity Account with his boss thanking him and promising to pay him back. Once i received the money back from trump, i would deposit it. Trump told him, just pay it, no reason to keep it out there. He said trump told him, dont worry, you will get the money back. The former president has been under the gag order so hes had allies come here to defend him. House speaker johnson will attend the trial today and Vivek Ramaswamy will be here and likely have a News Conference well carry live. Mr. Ramaswamy believes this trial is a sham and his words, a charade, and prosecutor differ with that. Hope to hear more from the speaker of the house and former president ial candidate defending the defendant today. Steve according to experts, it doesnt sound like today he is likely to talk about an encounter in oval office when donald trump was president of the United States and mr. Cohen said they hatched this plan how to pay things and shortly after, the checks started being cut. As eric said, it will be crossexamination, what weve seen so far is everything Michael Cohen has said, everybody knew what it was because he is going off script from the prosecutors. The defense will try to rattle him and bring up stuff, why should we believe him now and they are hoping he blows his top. Lawrence he is supposed to close this, they have not found a crime and it looks like it is uniting the republican party. Because of the lawfare, they are uniting behind the president and taking turns joining to support the president. Andy mccarthy said, i keep asking does this judge want to be the judge who threw out trump, his daughter defines himself by loathing trump. Can this judge intervene when he has his daughter on the other side . The former president says he is conflicted. Brian i dont see the Judge Intervening ever. Their goal is to prove the president of the United States did this to enhance his election effort. The defense is saying, this is a bad story, he did not want it out predominantly because of his family. Both could be true. Say the president of the United States is running for office and he went bankrupt and then thriving. If they have a negative story, hell make sure they go away. One involves sex, one involves business, no different, what will help you go out and win and the cfo is in jail at rykers island for decades. Can you get him out to come say im watching this go. President of the United States went to the white house, i was handling the business and eric was in charge of all this and this is a legal fee. Why dont they want wisenberg to testify. Michael, this is what you are recounting happened with donald trump. He does not agree. The defendant does not agree, why should we believe you and go on the different times he flip flopped and bring up in Closing Argument what was said, one in the white house and one at trump tower. App looks like democrats are trying to interfere with this election by putting him on trial. It is not panning out how they hoped it would. In poem polls, he is ahead in five of the six swing states. Steve and a year ago, before alvin bragg indicted him, ron desantis was beating donald trump in the polls. As soon as the indictment happened and ron desantis talk about, ive never been involved in porn star payoff money, donald trump started going and going and hasnt stopped. Brian one thing i want to bring up, i cant imagine being in a relationship and taking Home Equity Loan out on my house and no one knowing about it. I will take equity loan out on the house and no one will know about it. How do you do that and swap it out and pay it off . How does that not came out . Lawrence i dont think that would fly with dawn. Brian let me try. Lawrence text her and get back with us. Brian i will try to do that. Steve cohen said his wife was ceo of the family and would see it in his checking account, home equity line of credit, she never saw. Ainsley i love the land line, what happened to your cell phone . Brian this is bret baiers Special Report has to modernize, one thing no one wants to talk about, ill break that story here. Lawrence judge jeanine has been in the courtroom and will be on the show later on. Ainsley few blocks away from where brian is, President Biden set to give a speech on the economy.

Ainsley fox business alert, game stop and amc skyrocketing 45 this morning. This comes after stock trader keith gill, known as roaring kitty, posted his first meme on x. He sparked the Game Stop Stock Craze during the pandemic. Today, day two of Jury Selection in Corruption Trial of new jersey senator bob menendez after zero jurors seated yesterday. Menendez faces charges alleging he accepted gold bars and cash from as acting as a foreign agent. West Virginia Republicans looking to flip joe manchins seat as governor jim justice faces off against congressman alex mooney. Fo former Maryland Governor hogan is dominating while david trone and Angela Brooks Squaring off in the senate primary. Those are some of the headlines. Steve talk about this, this is cover of the New York Post this morning. Jen psaki has a new book out and she says that when the during dignified transfer of the president of the United States never looked at his watch when troops were being returned in august of 2021. You can see there, hes on his watch. On his watch. Ainsley yeah, The Book Excerpt is called say more and she said the president looked at his watch after the ceremony ended. We talked to a gold star father, mark smiths, he said, i was there and she wasnt there. Steve she said, the detail in a few lines of the book about exact number of times he looked at his watch will be removed in future reprints. Lawrence it is disgusting, Everybody Knows what happened. Afghanistan withdrawal was a disaster. You had calls from that front. He made it about himself when he greeted the family and told them he understood their pain because his son beau was killed. This is disgusting, brian. I wanted to prove i had a hard conversation with the president , i told him his personal story was not well received. For her to Say Something is inaccurate for a book prereleased makes her look terrible. What other fictional accounts does she have to bring forward . Mark smith was on this show, father of jar ed smith, he reacted to jen psaki denial about biden checking his watch and knew the facts. I couldnt believe her book just came out right before mothers day and wounds have been reopened from a talking puppet. We were 25 yards away and watched in horror and disgust as he looked at his watch and i couldnt look alt him at him after that. That was his mo, watch the casket go by, watch my watch. Steve his story is different from jen psaki. Ainsley he is calling for resignation of jen psaki and he says he plans to take legal action. He had to speak in front of congress, i wanted to shout its two fing 30 hole. Lawrence it is infuriating for many reasons and one thing we keep hearing from democrats and communicators, he is the guy that consoles and brings unity and can make you feel pain and understands pain of americans. When he gets opportunity to show it and his aides get opportunity to talk about it, she could have wrote it was a moment we regretted. Ainsley sends a message to folks at home, i have another place to be, how long will this take. Brian big point is, explosion at abby gate was his fault. He said nobody briefed him, they testified they did. They knew there was going to be a suicide bomber. These men and women died and come back to dover and he cant focus long enough to give proper tribute. They held him responsible because decision he decided to make because he was tired of the Afghanistan War. Look at documents, you saw how proud he was that he was against the Afghanistan War to begin with. That was beginning of the end of the disaster of the first trump and hopefully only biden term.
