Fox weathers Brandy Campbell is there to tell us about a it. Hey, brandy. Reporter hey, david. Look, depending on where folks are headed for the memorial day weekend, it could be can just a little bit hot for you. Im in no, sir, eve new orleans, ive got the famous Jackson Square behind me, weve seen the artists setting up, and theres a lot of tourists starting to really crowd this area. But they could experience on their vacation are the hottest temperatures. New orleans could feel the hottest temperatures theyve felt this year year over this weekend. And its not just here in new orleans, but even over in texas. San antonio, austin, theyre under Heat Advisories with feelslike temperatures in the 1000s. Down to the border 100s. Laredo texas, their feelslike temperature near 1200 degrees. I met a couple who traveled in from austin, texas for the holiday. They said theyll be spending most of their time out in the sun. Ab to go on a swamp tour, so thats probably about as a human as itll get, i guess. [laughter] yeah. Be outside all day today. I dont think ill mind. Im here to have fun, so i dont mind the heat. Reporter all right, there you have it, people embracing it. Look, if folks hit the airport like they did yesterday, you were part of a recordbreaking day for tsa. They said they actually screened 2. Million people at checkpoints 2. 99 million people, so folks are getting to the airportsed today, there could be some intriptions this afternoon. We are experiencing expecting, i should say, some severe storms that could cause a Tornado Outbreak in the plains. So youll have to keep an eye on that if you do have a flight. David . David Brandy Campbell, great to the to see you. Thank you very much. Have a great weekend. Reporter thanks. David a Record Number of americans hitting the roads this Holiday Weekend despite the pain at the pump. And President Biden is trying to cut those costs by july 4th by tapping our Emergency Reserves on gas prices. Hillary vaughn has the details from capitol hill. Hillary. Reporter well, david, the white house intentionally timed this release to occur between memorial day and july 4th so that americans get to enjoy lower gas prices while they enjoy their summer vacation. The white house saying, quote, the Bidenharris Administration is taking action to lower gas prices with the sale of 11 Million Barrels 1 Million Barrels of gasoline are to lower gas and energy costs including historic releases from the Strategic Petroleum reserve. High gas prices have been a problem for President Biden. The price of gas is up almost 50 since he took office. While the decision to close the northeastern reserve is congress doing, the president got to choose when to do it, and they chose to do it now, and coincidentally, months before election day. Former President Trump says he thinks bidens doing it to get a boost headed into november. Biden is releasing one million barrel of oil from the northeast reserve in a bid to lower prices before the election because hes unable to drill properly. Prices are now higher than theyve been many in a long time. Theyre very high. And and so hes trying to stop that because high Gasoline Prices are not good for elections. Reporter depleting reserves only does so much. The Strategic Petroleum reserve has been drained down to 20year lows by biden to drop prices in the past, but they popped back up again, so its not a permanent solution to what is becoming a very political problem for the president. U. S. And oil and gas president tim sue wart says its a mistake to get rid of the reserve. Hurricane sandy and the Pipeline Cyber Attack were difficult experiences that demonstrated a modest the need for a modest reserve for the northeast. It may potentially lower prices by a few cents a gallon for a day or two, but its not to going to give President Biden the boost he may be hoping for heading into november when gas prices are up over 50. David . David can David Hillary vaughn, thank you very much. So will tapping the reserves bring real relief the drivers, or is it all about a revving up the votes . Former Energy Secretary rick perry joins me now. Great to see you again, secretary. Glad you could be here. Weve seen a variation of this before as hillary mentioned, right before the 2022 lengths we saw the reclose from the Strategic Oil reserves. This is gasoline. It did seem to have an effect even if it put our oil reserves in jeopardy. It did seem to bring prices down a little. Will it have the same effect this time . Probably have a little effect on it, but heres what we need to keep in mind. This is about, a million gallons is about 2. 7 hours of national con sunlight. Consumption. So this is truly a political ploy. What americans are wise to is that supply and demand actually works. Administrations policy to strangle the Fossil Fuel Industry in the United States, to placate their environmental activists that they need for their election is what this is all about. Its going to have a effect on the consuming public for a minute from period of time. They hope thats going to turn into some plus for them politically for an election. I dont think it will. I think americans understand the reason gas prices are high because the biden administrations policy and their war against American Energy. David well, they came into office actually, even before that he campaigned on the idea of killing off fossil fuels. And, of course, the first week he was in office a he killed the xl pipeline. He has production has been kind of steady, but it hasnt increased much. Its down the about 13 Million Barrels a day of u. S. Production of oil. Thats about the same as it was in novemberof 2019 just before the pandemic. So essentially, weve stayed flat. If you pull the pandemic out of the picture. Should we be producing more and how much more do you think we should be producing . If. David, thats the real key, is that we have a demand that continues to go up not just in the unite, but internationally in the United States, but internationally. They put this pause, what they call it, on lng. Again, a totally political act to placate those on the left. But we need to give incentives to the american Fossil Fuel Industry out there, and they will respond. I can promise you we could have gas prices back to the way they were under President Trump in his First Administration and hopefully in his Second Administration if as well because they will give incentives to the American Energy industry, and thats exactly what we need. Clean burning american natural gas, for instance, a lot cleaner than the russian gas thats taken the place of american gas over in europe. Europeans are switching back to coalburning plants because they dont have any alternatives. This concept of strangling Americas Energy industry for political call purposes is an absolute fools errand. David well, you know, its not just republicans versus democrats in this. You have democrats like john fetter match, the senator from pennsylvania fetterman, who has now come out pretty strongly in favor of continuing fracking. But, of course, you have democrats in new york who are continuing to ban fracking. How do you think this works out in the long run . Its not so much a dem versus republican issue as it is very liberal folks who are pushing the Green Energy Programs against those who want to produce more here. Well, im a big fan of the 10th Amendment and let the states make the decisions on what they need to do on a host of different issues, Energy Policy certainly being one of them. If new york and california want to be fools and run their Energy Prices through the roof, thats their call. Those people will pack up, or the citizens of those anticipates will pack up tates will pack if up and move to states that have free Energy Policies that are not overtaxed, overregulated, overlitigated and have skilled work forces. Thats where people will move. And so if you want to see your state on its back struggling economically, put these types of restrictive Fossil Fuel Policies into place. Energy is connected to practically everything that you do whether its transportation of goods, it is the truck driver can of the economy. These states that want to kill their economy, you know, if thats what they want, have at a it. David meanwhile, were spending at least a trillion dollars on these Green Energy Programs, and its really not enough to keep up with the Energy Demands. As you mentioned, i mean, the Energy Demands are growing. The administering wants more electric cars, wants more electric ovens as opposed to natural gas ovens. If nicker theres going to be more if anything, theres going to be more need for energy. We got this interesting report from the u. S. Energy administration at the end of pill saying that Wind Generation declined at least in terms of producing energy in 2023 for the First Time Since the 1990s even though we have more windmills. So in other words, theyre not putting out as much theyre just not, renewables are great, but theyre just not as a reliable as a fossil fuel ifses. ,. Theyre part of the mix. I dont get confused that they have a role to play. But even in my home state of texas, the end of last year we were 46 reliable upon renewable energy, and thats just too much. So you saw the legislature move here. Were starting to really build peaker plants, fossil fueldriven, natural gasdriven in most cases to address this issue so that well have that energy in case there is a major event that occurs. And met me go back, speaking of let me go back. Speaking of major events, this administration is playing with fire. When they sell down the Strategic Petroleum reserve and the gasoline supplies, if we were to have another sandy type event on the northeast coast or for that matter anywhere on the gulf coast, you could see a Major National security event occur because this add administration if is more can administration is more interested in playing politics, trying to drive down some Gasoline Prices before an election. This, again, is the type of policies that that i hope most americans will realize really puts their lives in jeopardy. David well, i remember the oil embargo of the late 70s and those long gasoline lines. We dont want that again. And as weve lost our energy independence, unfortunately, were more reliant on the folks who could do some kind of embargo on us. Governor, secretary, great to see you. Thank you very much for being here. Have a wonderful memorial day weekend. You too. A. David appreciate it. Thank you. God bless you.

Military academy at west point where President Biden is set to deliver the commencement address this morning. Well check in with that when it happens. Meanwhile, kevin corke is here with the details from the white house. Hey, kevin. Reporter listen, im just going to say this, my friend, you sound like you got a little sports in your background with. You are looking live [laughter] i can see david doing a little playbyplay. [laughter] we do expect the president to make his remarks at west point momentarily. Well take you up to beautiful west point in the shadow of mikey stadium, such a great place to visit if you have never had a chance to go there, i highly recommend it. As you know, this is part above a tradition of a tradition. Hay always get out this and make remarks. Last way, of course, the president made his way over to the beautiful Air Force Academy in colorado springs, colorado. His remarks there were, frankly, overshadowed by his infamous fall. But today its the long, great line of west point and Academy Steepedded in Military Lore and tradition. By the way, mr. Bidens visit which is one of fizz favorite his Favorite Places to visit this comes a amid if sagging poll numbers nationally especially in the latest swing state surveys where mr. Biden is trailing former President Donald Trump. But the Biden Campaign says theyre not worried. We dont put any stock into polls. There are going to be polls that are up and down all across this election cycle, and so were focused on doing the work. Part of that is communicating to voters exactly how dangerous donald trump is to democracy and the threat that he poses. Reporter the key is going to be for their cam pane to focus on what they can do for the american people, not what the other guy might do. And thats been the big criticism. Some people have argued, david, thats why the the president is trailing in all the polling. However, as we take a look here live at the usma, cadets all at the ready, we obviously will monitor the president s remarks and share any newsworthy quips and clips. But i can tell you this, if history is any indication, hell talk about service above self, hell talk about how great the tradition is not just at west point, but broadly, this idea of protecting the american poemlant protecting the world from the evil of communism. And it suspect hell also talk about Climate Change and maybe even the dangers of a. Im sorry. Ive seen a few of these speeches. I promise ill share a it when i get it. David by the way, first time i went to west point was with the father of lucas tomlinson, a wonderful experience. Reporter wow. David lucas was just a little boy back then the. Reporter and hes with us now. David good to see you, my friend. After campaigning in the bronx on thursday, donald trump is prepared to address the Libertarian National convention in d. C. Tonight a day after independent candidate Robert F Kennedy jr. Spoke to the third party group. Avenue lex sis mcadams is there to fill us n. Hey, alexis. Reporter yeah, theres been a lot of saks here at the National Convention in washington d. C. Check it out behind me, the candidates here on the stage for the Libertarian Party are taking questions now from the audience. One thing weve been hearing, theyve been hitting on all morning, is the covid pandemic and, obviously, or the government made some big mistake ifs. Thats what people in the crowd are talking about. Later tonight former President Donald Trump will be on this stage behind us. Hes going to be talking about several topics, but not many everyone is amped up to see him, david, here at the convention. Just last night when Vivek Ramaswamy mentioned trumps name, there were some boos. Watch this. I have gotten to know. Donald trump over the course of the last several years [background sounds] and the last several months. And youre going to hear from him tomorrow night. And the question is, do you want to influence the next administration if or dont you. That is the question for this room the ask. Reporter so as we know, right, ramaswamy is trumps hype man, one of hem, but it didnt seem to work with some of the people. Some of the groups ive talked to say they are excited to hear what former President Trump has to say. Trump is set to address the outspoken crowd tonight. Independent robert f. Kennedy jr. Pulled in a a pretty big crowd last night. He went after trump blasting his response to the covid pandemic. Check this out. He closed down3. 3 million businesses 3. 3 million businesses with no due process, no just compensation in violation of the Fifth Amendment with the lockdowns, the mask mandates, the travel restrictions. President trump presided over the greatest restriction on individual liberties this country has ever known. [cheers and applause] reporter is on thursday, trump campaigned in the deep blue bronx. We saw that a on the ground with large crowds showing up, a few thousand, something a president ial candidate hasnt done since Ronald Reagan back in 1980. The Libertarian Party says trumps visit tonight is also a historic since theyve been trying to get a major Party Candidate on the stage for 50 years. Tonight is that night. Trump says, hey a, if the libertarians join me and the republican party, this election will not even be close. Well have to see if he can pull in some of these voters. According to a Marquette Law School poll that was just released, in a 5way race, trump receives 40 , biden 37, kennedy, 17. Well keep you posted on what happens later with that speech. Back to you.

David Closing Arguments in new yorks criminal trial against donald trump expected on tuesday as judge juan merchan weighs trumps motion to dismiss the case altogether. Former u. S. Assistant the attorney Andy Mccarthy on what we can expect when the court is back in session. App aty, great to see you. Thank you for being here. Wall street journal editorial page which is not known as a fan of donald trump came out with an editorial today, its headlined bragg hasnt proved his case. And it says at the end conviction or no, this is a case that should never have been brought. Do you agree with that . I do. And, you know, look, theyre often not fans of prosecutors and i dont want to say in general, but in a lot of cases, and i think this is one where with you have a politically ambitious prosecutor who brought a very weak, very politicized, selective prosecution against the main enemy of the opposition party. Thats really what it is. David did we ever learn,up app aty, exactly what andy, exactly what charge lifted an expired misdemeanor into 34 felonies . Well, it sure sounds, david, like theyre doing a, you know, some version of federal campaign law. I have to say some version because even though congress created the federal Election Commission and vested it and the Justice Department with exclusive authority to enforce the federal Election Laws in the United States, bragg who has no such authority, the District Attorney in manhattan is really making up his own version of what campaign law is. And it appears from all of the argument as that theyve made last week that thats with where theyre headed. But i have to say youre asking a good question because the indictment, i think, or fails as an indictment because it doesnt put the defense on notice about what the charges are. Braggs been cagey throughout, and to this day we dont even have the jury charge that the judge is going to give next week the instructions to the jury about what they have to find in order to make a verdict in this case. David well, related to all that, is the judge going to instruct the jury that that hush money which is they spent a lot of time dealing with is not a crime . I dont think so. I think hes the way the prosecutors have pitched this case, and merchan hasnt stopped them from doing that, if you paid hush money with the intention of affecting the election, then hes going to leave it open that you could find a campaign violation. I think thats totally wrong as a matter of law. I think categorically these Nondisclosure Agreements are legal and are not Campaign Contributions or expendtures. But thats what brad smith was going fred smith was going to testify about, the former fec commissioner, and merchan didnt allow him to testify david instead you had Michael Cohen whos a convicted liar, he admitted to the being a thief, he was instructing the jury about election law. It was ridiculous. When you had the possibility of having an fec chairman come in and really describe the law, instead they took the word of a liar, and the judge let it happen. Yeah. I think its even more outray you than that, david, because not only did he do that, but the void in braggs case is that he hasnt proved anything with respect to the Election Laws that trump was even thinking about them in 20161 and 2017 when all this activity took place. Hes trying to fill that void by proving and reminding the jury again and again that cohen pled guilty to Campaign Finance violations. That is inadd a mis, evidence against admissible evidence against trump. It was improper for the judge to let that in, and laughably, his rationalization for letting it in was that it was relevant to cohens credibility. The prosecutors didnt want to impeach their own witness, they wanted that that that information in to try to convince the jury that if cohen pled guilty to Campaign Finance violations, trump must be if guilty too which is exactly the reason that evidence isnt supposed to come in. David so it really hits on a main point here, is it just fair flat out to say that this judge has been unfair to donald trump . Oh, i believe that. Look, i think hes been in the tank for the prosecution from the beginning. All of the pretrial rulings were in braggs favor. Hes made a few, you know, hes thrown a few bones to the defense here and there to, i think, try to protect himself from bias claims on the record. But you cant read this transcript. Which i spent a lot of this week doing without seeing that hes letting in a lot of evidence that he knows is extremely prejudicial and shouldnt have any Business Being in this case, and he let it all in. David well, and constantly overruling the objections of the defense while sustaining the objections of the prosecution. I mean, its just happened time after time after time. Finally, andy, if donald trump is found guilty, god knows exactly when the verdict will come in, but if he is found guilty, could he be put in jail . And could he be, in fact, elected president while hes in jail . I dont think hell be put in jail, david, because its a nonviolent crime. Hes a first offender. In new york i think once he files a notice of appeal, hes out until the appeal is decided. And, you know, i think eugene debs, if im remembering this right, ran for president from prison, so t not unheard of in the United States to have people who are in custody who run for president [laughter] and, you know with, look, some of them at least we know where to find them, right in. David well, thats true. We know where with he is. Some of what we have david the times we live in, andy. Whoever thought . Andy mccarthy, thanks for being here. Thank you, david. David hunter biden attending a Court Hearing friday ahead of his upcoming gun trial. What were learning as Jury Selection is just over a week away. But first, new Video Showing migrants pelting Border Agents with rocks and bottles as the white house and congress. Continue pointing fingers over the i crisis. All thats coming next. Ats law.

Neil including this measure to shut down the border once there are 4,000 crossings a day, speed up Asylum Adjudication and try to get it done in 1800 days rather than waiting for years, stuff that President Biden could have done all along but didnt. Doesnt that strike you as odd . Neil, we took action a long time ago, and migration is a very neil well, this was Just Announced in the last week. And we are seeing the results that take time to take hold. We will continue to take actions within the confines of our authorities. We need congress to act. David homeland secretary Alejandro Mayorkas defending President Bidens actions on the border to neil earlier this week as that border bill, the administration has been pushing, failed another test vote in the United States senate. And it comes as new video Shows Migrants throwing rocks and bottles at Border Agents in new mexico. National Border Patrol Council Vice President Art Del Cueto on what he makes of all this. Art, great to see you. You know, i look at those videos of whats going on at the border, i must say it kind of mirrors what Law Enforcements going through all over this country right now where the respect for Law Enforcement has fallen to a new low. Thats exactly it, and thats the problem. And why does it continue to happen . Because theres lack of consequences for these individuals that are breaking the law. And then you have the secretary of Homeland Security saying, you know, theyve been trying all along. Look, what theyve been doing is getting a square peg and trying to push it into a round hole this entire time. They created the mess. They spent a year and a half, two years denying that the mess if was there, and now theyre sitting there going, well, a slow fix. No, you made the mess. You shouldnt have made it. David but couldnt they get out of the mess were many just by Executive Action . If do hay really need a bill to turn this around do they really need a bill to turn this around . Look, all they need to do and, look, its going to be hard to do the Executive Action, they have to negotiate with other cups now because theyve ruined that already theyve dvd but its been done before. Forgive me, art a, but weve seen it done before. I debt a i get that, i get that david negotiated on his own with mexico when he got the remain in mexico policy. Correct. The quicker fix though is even easier with. All theyve got to do is start detaining people. I know ive heard or or the argument of, well, or where are you going to get the money . The minnesota they start detaining thing them, theyll stop coming. The reason they continue to come from All Over The World is because if they realize all theyve got to do is say asylum, and they a get released. Once you put that threat up there and you have the consequence of youre not just going to get released, youre going to get detained, the numbers will stop. Thats how President Trump did it in the first mace. He first detained them. Yes, he had executive alaska, yes, he worked with mexico, but before all that just by detaining them, the numbers went down. Thats how it was done before, and thats how it can be done again. Taiferred david by the way, if former President Trump is elected in november, or hes talking about deporting millions of migrants. Now, i know president obama deported a lot of migrants, i think it was well over a million migrants. But at the same time, that was before you had all these Sanctuary Cities who arent cooperating with you and with i. C. E. And with other folks who actually deal with the bad people who deserve to be deported. How could that be done . Well, you have to bring back the rule of law, you have to work with other Law Enforcement agencies. And im going to tell you theres a lot of Law Enforcement officers out there that are doing the job. Theyre putting their lives on the line, and they want to do it. Unfortunately, you have, you know, members within their own departments of management, or members like governors and Everything Else that dont want to do the job, mayors that are saying, hey, this is a sanctuary city. You have to go across the board and say, look, enough is enough. We want the rule of law are. Youve worked with other Law Enforcement officers and agencies throughout the country, and you can get it done. David President Biden is speaking live at west point. We just want to dip in and here a little hear a little bit of what he said. This is the president at west point. You got it, man. [applause] the most powerful empire in the world defeated by an army of ordinary people driven by the sacred cause of freedom. And, i might add, youre about to become fulltime members of the most honorable and the most consequential fighting force in the history of the world. Thats not hyperbole, of the world. Thats the truth. Ms. [applause] ever since the men and women of west point have stayed true to this mission.

But there are cadets here at west point. If that sounds familiar to you, maybe i can help you today. In keeping with the long, standing tradition as commander in chief, i absolve all a cadets on restriction for minor conduct offenses. [laughter] [applause] if you have any questions, the superintendent can clarify what minor means. [laughter] if of course, your time here wasnt all difficult. The class did plenty of celebrating. Every time you beat navy [cheers and applause] now, look, lots of west point classes have some wins over navy, but not every class over four years Period Beat Withs Navy 51 times. [applause] david its always fun to see a blanket pardon from the president of the United States which President Biden just did for those cadets. Well continue to the monitor what the president says, and i want to thank Art Del Cueto. We wanted to spend a little bit of time listening to the president. We will come back if certain things he says warrant it.
