Steve action. Ainsley no music, okay. It is 8 00 a. M. On the east coast on thursday, may 16th, this is Fox And Friends. Debates are officially on, only on bidens terms, meaning no r. F. K. Jr. Voters disagree saying it is important hes on that stage. Lawrence and brian, brian ill take it from here. Crossexamination begins in a little over an hour. Prose prosecution could rest their case. What is the crime . Were ask ing judge jeanine. Steve sandwiches in the court of law. You emailed us, do you agree with that . The great sandwich debate, this hour. Lawrence it is friday eve, final hour of Fox And Friends starts now. Mornings are better with friends. Ainsley my music was down, i couldnt hear, my fault. New york criminal trial is set to begin an hour from now. Ainsley Michael Cohen, the star witness leaving his new york apartment moments ago, there he goes just like that. Another day of crossexamination expected to pick up today. Ainsley i think that is a trump building. Im going to look today. Brian eric shawn is live outside the courthouse. Eric. This trial could really blowup explosive new allegations about Michael Cohen could d derail. The claim is Michael Cohen lied on the stand about donald trump. Mr. Cohen testified it was former president who oversaw and approved plan to pay off Stormy Daniels. A wellknown and prominent new york lawyer who advised cohen, Robert Costello told a subcommittee cohen told him the former president did not have anything to do with this deal or know anything about it. Every time i brought it up, every time he answered, i swear to god, excuse me, bob, i dont have anything on donald trump. I said, michael, whatever you have has to be truthful, if you think you can go in and tell these people lies, it is crazy, it will backfire on you, you cant do that. Legal experts say Trump Defense could use costellos claims to say he committed perjury. Cohen is on the stand today and will face crossexamination from trump lawyer who could ask cohen about what he todz Robert Costello, whether it is true or if he lied to the stand, they could call Robert Costello, too. We know the former president will likely address this issue. Robert costello said that Michael Cohen basically lied about the whole Stormy Daniels deal. Expect the former president to blast that when he arrives at court later this morning. Brian why would bob costello, not be a good witness for the defense . He said he handed this information over to the defense and over to the prosecutors that alvin bragg knows about it and brought this case anyway. He could be subpoenaed and called. Steve eric, i think the headline of this particular segment was Ainsley Earhardt observation that it appears the video of Michael Cohen leaving his house today, he lives in a trump building. Ainsley he occupies his trump conco, he bought for 5 million in 2005 and had a mortgage of 2 million. Steve i want to go to that condo board meeting. That is true, he lives in a trump building, his family bought trump apartments. My god children are neighbors of his and see him in the elevator all the time. Ainsley skully and skully, a beautiful store is in that building. Steve that is where i got my wallet. Ainsley prettiest gifts. Goodbye, eric. Lawrence bob costello will join Americas Newsroom this morning. Why wouldnt defense use him . Allegation cohen is making is that costello was in trumps pocket, that is why when they had the witness interview, he can speak about it, cohen released him from that agreement of being attorney because he said he was helping trump. Brian what two things are prosecution trying to show . That donald trump didnt care about his family, he cared about the campaign. C costlello said it was all about his family. The former lawyer to Michael Cohen not a trump disciple or cam 59 person. I dont know the answer to this, alan wisenberg. In the meeting with Michael Cohen when this deal was hatched. He is rykes island, why not bring him out. Is there a deal where he gets a certain amount of time if he doesnt testify . Bit of mystery to me. Does anyone know the answer . Lawrence more of a mystery, in my opinion, if he was essential to the case that prosecution then bring him to testify. Brian if prosecution does not like hads answers, they want him in prison. Lawrence i hope defense has made them aware, if you say you coordinated with the cfo, why wouldnt you make him essential part of the case. They have him, they did not get him to testify. Ainsley costello said this is a revenge tour for Michael Cohen. He lost his law license, served time and he told costello, over and over, he didnt have anything on trump and this was a revenge tour. He expected to become Chief Of Staff or the ag. Lawrence how delusional. Steve one of the parlor games and i remember one day backstage we were talking about this, skutel butt if donald trump were convicted on any trials, joe biden would pardon him. That was something a lot of people in washington were talking about. That means after it is adjudicated. We dont know how these things turn out. Mitt romney had an observation on another channel, that joe biden should have already acted by now. The country would not be going through this and here is senator from utah explanation. President biden made an enormous error, he should have fought like crazy to keep this prosecution from going forward. It was a winwin for donald trump. Had i been President Biden when the Justice Department brought indictments, i would have pardoned him, pardoned president trump. Why . It makes me, President Biden, the big guy and the person i pardoned, the little guy. Lawrence remember in the 2016 campaign, people at rallies were saying lockup Hillary Clinton. President trump said the reason i didnt do that, it would have divided the country. And Wall Street Journal reached out to him and asked him, are you going to investigate Hillary Clinton . It is not something ive given thought to, i want to solve tax reform. If your political opponent is being targeted and you have control of it, dont you think for good of the country, you should say, maybe not. Steve i get that, i think and mitt romney makes a great argument, i think the reason joe biden and joe bidens team didnt do that is because of his base. There are a lot of people in the white house who hate donald trump. Dont do that before anything starts. If anything, consider it if he were convicted, but meantime, they dont want to help him. Brian joe biden is not pardoning him, on many levels hes behind it. Look at the person who is prosecuting the case, the meetings in georgia with white house Justice Department, when you see political reporting that donald trump excuse me, joe biden was mad at Merrick Garland for dragging his feet on the trump administration. I wonder if hes talking about merits of this case because it is flimsy and ridiculous. It is a ridiculous case. Does mitt romney feel the same about the other cases . Ainsley remember talks in 2020 before the transfer that he could pardon hunter and when biden takes office, he could pardon trump. Lawrence one last point, important to note the biden campaign, they are selling tshirts on this. One thing to attack your political opponent, but saying, wednesday, maybe you can debate on wednesdays, free on wednesdays. I think that is sick. Ainsley what is sick about it, these are all democrats that are putting trump in all the courtrooms across the country or trying to. To make money on that, they are preventing lawrence i have no involvement, there is the tshirt. Number three in the doj. Steve maybe free on wednesdays moons the shirt is free on wednesday. Lawrence they give free things out, our money, not theirs. Steve tax money goes to Fund American schools, are you a parent, grandparent where they have a help wanted sign . New statistic that 86 of americas Public Schools are struggling to hire teachers. There is such a teacher shortage. I looked up, the primary reason it is hard to get teachers right now is the low pay. There is workload and think about it, restrictions on teachers now and how many times have we seen in the last year School Board Meetings get heated and parents yell that a teacher taught my kid this. And cops didnt like disrespect and teachers dont want to be that teacher who taught that. Brian in arizona, they are saying, if you have a degree in whiching, like in college, in education, well get you a Couple Courses and teach you to be teachers, jump in. They are doing another thing c called put 80 to 100 kids in a class and have five teachers and rotate them through. Your family members, fourday work weeks. Ainsley shortening work weeks, Packing Students in the room and hiring teachers that are not certified. These teachers work hard. I have one child, i know how difficult that is as a single mom to have a fulltime job and be a fulltime mom. My sister has more than 20 kids in her class everyday. Hats off to our teachers who are making indelible difference in our kids lives, extra work they do when they go home, the low pay, having to get jobs in summer and holiday woeekends. My sister does dog sitting. She is more educated than anyone in my family, my parents have masters degrees, my brother and myself dont. They need to make more money. They are not unionized. Steve our children are our future and wouldnt you pay everything youve got tax wise to make sure if were going to educate kids, do it right. If you dont have good teachers or enough teachers, you have to raise the pay, figure way to raise the pay. Ainsley they spend extra money on supplies for the classroom. Steve out of their pocket. Brian on long island they pay well and it is hard to get a job. Steve, i thought you were going to seng the whole song, children are our future, speak to them well. Steve i cant hit the high note. Ainsley let them lead the way. Brian lawrence, why didnt you help out steve . Lawrence i will not touch anything with Whitney Houston on it. Thats blasphemy to try. Steve to teachers, thank you. Tragic story out of indiana, a 10yearold boy committed suicide after relentless bullying, despite his parents complaining to School Officials many times. According to his family, the fourth grader was bullied until the night he died by suicide. Sammy was just 10 years old, his classmates made fun of his classes, his teeth, he was beaten up on the school bus and more. After complaining to administrators 20 times, nothing was done. Sammys dad said i want him to never are forgotten, to put that little boy into words is impossible, people that got to know him are blessed to have known him. How could god take my kid from here, that was going through my head, god didnt take my kid, hate did. The school acknowledged staff having regular conversations with the family saying the death of samuel is tragic and it left our community in grief. Our staff has worked with the teusc h family and contact between school was frequent, we are investigating claims related to bullying. Sammys family is hoping this tragedy will protect children during the school day and a Candlelight Vigil is held for friday. Ainsley it is so sad a 10 year old would attempt that or know how to do that. Lawrence know how, yeah. Ainsley gosh, if this is happening at your school, administrators need to work hard. Brian it is crazy, we were growing up, i never even heard of teachers being proactive on bullying. Now there are programs and n. F. L. Players and professional athletes talking about it. The fact it is happening now is unfathomable. Steve a lot of it and weve seen across the board, is from social media. Ainsley remember being on the school bus, if someone was being bullied, a group of friends would step in and say stop. Maybe now they want to stay out it. Lawrence im with steve, social media. Steve happens at home. Brian and your school signed a pledge, no social media. Ainsley no phones, it is called wait until eight, wait until eighth grade to give your child a phone.

Sharon considers anything layered between or wrapped inside bread regardless of f firmness as something sandwiched, those are your headlines. What do you think .
