Urging event goers to deny them both on election kicks this hour off for us live from where they will be speaking. It has been a packed house here in washington, d. C. Right now behind us on the stage they are getting ready for their next guest to come up and speak. Former president donald trump. The question is will he have a warm welcome with this very outspoken crowd. Not afraid to speak up and speak their mind. Just Yesterday Ramaswamy who was a pretty big hype man for donald trump was up on stage trying to talk with voters about what trump stands for. Check this out. The republican nominee, i mean, come on look, i invite you to dream on. I am being honest here. Trump, the present if republican nominee will take that stage tonight. Just about 24 hours after Robert F Kennedy junior was a Guest Speaker here who was attacked under handling of the covid pandemic. Historic sensei have been trying to get on the stage for 50 years tonight is the night. If the president will have a warm welcome and they said it will be a mixed bag. Watch. I think he will have to really think about whether he wants a libertarian and his cabinet. That may be what it would take. Right. To even get people to consider it. There are a lot of choices. Rfk junior was here just the other day. We have plenty of candidates we are happy to vote for. He has a really tough sell. A tough sell. We will have to see if donald trump can take some of these voters. Trump has said is if you can get any of these libertarians to go to the Republican Party and vote for him, he does not think it will be a close race at all. Trump will be walking hours after rfk team was handing out some of these Rubber Chickens. This is what they will be hearing. [laughter] pressing those. We will see if that is a distraction at all to donald trump. Griff the Libertarian Convention would not be complete without the Rubber Chicken for trump. Thank you very much. Alicia thank you, griff. Resident biking biden speaking. Full showing him behind former President Trump. Fox news Senior Correspondent kevin cork is live at the white house with more. Great to be with you, my friend. The president had a number of great things to say today as he addressed the cadets at the u. S. Military academy at west point. He said america is best when she leads by the example of our power, but not just that, but by the power of her example. His remarks overall leslie 20 minutes. He told the cadets nothing is guaranteed about the democracy we enjoy here in america. Every generation is an obligation to defend, protect, preserve, and, yes, choose it. From the very beginning, nothing is guaranteed about our democracy in america. Every generation has an obligation to defend it, protect it, preserve it, choose it. The president s remarks come at a time work he is frankly struggling in the polls at least according to the new fox news surveys. In the swing states he is trailing President Trump across the board. Nevada down by about five points the Biden Campaign is not worried about june polls. Between now and november all about the economy, stupid, that is what drives voters to the polls. I think voters are concerned about their economics. I think voters are concerned about their healthcare. Theyre concerned about housing, childcare, rent and mortgage affordability. Donald trump is only in this because he wants revenge and retribution. No sighting of the commanderinchief, that is because after leaving west point he boarded marine one where he will make his way to delaware where he will spend another weekend away. A lot of americans traveling this holiday weekend. Alicia that is a very good point. That is really all that matters right now. Great to see you. Griff thank you very much. Lets bring in our political panel. The former chairman of the federal commission under President Trump and Senior Advisor tim hogan. Gentlemen, thank you for being here. Lets jump right into some of these poll numbers. As you saw Alexis Mcadams doing great journalism there, getting a hold of these Rubber Chickens honking at trump tonight. This is perhaps a hostile crowd towards a former president. Neal, lets start with you. What does trump need to accomplish tonight nyc even feeling the need to speak at this convention . I think he is feeling pretty confident. These numbers have been consistently showing him ahead for a while now. Its not like there will be a bunch of different variables that will come into play i can change the dynamics of this race people know both of these candidates so well. The Trump Campaign is feeling they have an opportunity to potentially expand the map. That is why you saw him go to this rally in the bronx of all places to kind of reach out to voters that may not be traditional parts of his base. By going to the Libertarian Convention and trying to make the case for these voters, i think it is smart. You saw tran 11 take a lot of verbal views. I think minnesota could legitimately be in play for donald trump. [laughter] making an effort to get after these voters. Tim is shaking his head over there. Hold on. Is minnesota and play . Absolutely not. They will have offices there. There will be an effort up and down the ballot to make sure there is a strong showing. Minnesota absolutely is not in play. Talk about that, though. You saw the pole that we just showed in kevins report in the six Battleground States essentially, michigan, pennsylvania, wisconsin, biden trails. Also nevada, georgia, arizona, those three states were states that biden one. Now trailing from. And, so, you know, is it possible that the edge has been lost in the cycle. I think theres a lot of work that the Biden Campaign has to do. You are seeing a much smaller margin, within the margin of error. Trump appears to be leading. There are moments coming up in the campaign where the Biden Campaign has to take advantage. The reason why we have a june debate is because he wants to get Donald Trump On Stage and draw contrasts with him and prove this is not a Referendum Election and try to erase some of the nostalgic amnesia when it was all chaos. Griff interesting. Let me bring into this numbers conversation we are having here. Rfk junior. Essentially roughly eight, 9 you are seeing. Joe biden, donald trump. You have rfk junior in the hypothetical pole therefrom fox. Pulling a significant number. I dont think you cannot take him seriously. There is a lot of work to do to take the debate stage. Hitting a couple more poles. Yes a get Ballot Access to show he is a pathway to 270. Realistically, as you are seeing the Republican Base is coming around President Trump. He will get that core base report. I think joe biden needs a one on one race against donald trump. Theres been a lot of speculation about Rfk Junior Maypole from both camps. At the end of the day if it is a one on one race that is joe bidens only path to victory. If rfk is on the debate stage, in my view, that hurts nobody much more than donald trump. Griff do you agree . I dont necessarily agree. The more democrats learn about him the favorability goes down. I think he is a threat to both sides. He has to be on the ballot. He is on five belt according to states. It does not qualify them for debates. I think it is a huge issue if youre running a third party real campaign. Griff we political junkies witness political history on wednesday. Former President Trump going into the Deep Blue Bronx where republicans dont go and have not gone since reagan. In the wake of it, tim, to you, the one thing that stood out to me were the comments on another network, your governor kathy hochul trying to explain it away here is what she had to say. It will make a difference at all. That is for donald trump to be the ringleader and invite all of his clowns to a place like the bronx. New york will never ever support donald trump for president. Griff somehow pointed out calling trump reporters clouds harps back. A spokesperson for hilary clinton. Back to that basket of deplorables moment. What do you make of that . Donald trump will not win new york. I think joe biden probably is a better chance of winning mississippi than donald trump has of winning new york. He is not doing it because it select oriole smart its because he is in a courtroom. He would have to run or is too tired and does not want to travel. He just does not have the ability to get out on the campaign trail. Griff but clowns dash. I would not recommend anyone use the word clowns. You talk about strengths of your candidate. The reality is donald trump also bronx by 68 points. He lost new york by 2 million. It just is not happening. Griff maybe biden has a better chance in mississippi than new york. Joe biden is not going anywhere near mississippi. Donald trump went into the bronx if you look at the crowd that turned out it is an indicator of the transformation taking place in the republican of a populists party. It only makes sense that workingclass minorities would align themselves with our coalition. If you look at that, a number of africanamericans, hispanics interested in the possibility of voting for donald trump. That is a real play. Not so much that he will win in the bronx or win new york, that event will further his ability to reach out to minority voters. That should terrify the Biden Campaign. Griff to put you on record, are you saying trump can win new york . Absolutely not. What he will demonstrate, another key point, several key house races in new york that will be central to who controls the House Of Representatives in 2025. Trump can add value just by elevating Republican House candidates in new york. He does not need to win the electoral votes there. If he went to the house candidates, that is a win for him. I think he has more a liability Doing Rallies in the bronx. Reminding voters who he is and what his history is this more liability. More polarizing. Griff Biden Campaign should send a note to kathy hochul. Voters who forgive candidates for egregious transgressions and the like what they do not like to be talked down. We learned that with the basket of deplorable spirit two of the best of the best. Thanks for being here on this Memorial Day Weekend. Thanks for having us. Alicia great conversation. Thanks, griff. A criminal trial against alec baldwin is looking like dash likely after they reject the request to dismiss the Criminal Charge against the Fatal Shooting of the scimitar preferred the filming of rest. The judges decision means alec baldwins case is on track for a trial this summer. A new mexico judge ruled that prosecutors had not acted in bad faith when securing a grand jury indictment as alleged by the defense and their motion to get the case tossed. During a tense may 7 hearing baldwins defense team argued that the prosecution kept jurors from Hearing Evidence that was helpful to baldwins case. The lead lawyer claimed jurors were not told they could question defense witnesses. The lead Special Prosecutor pushed back saying the claims were a misrepresentation, arguing that nothing was hidden from the grand jury. The judge ultimately ruled that the indictment against the actor will stand. Nearly three years ago during a rehearsal on the movie set, baldwin was holding a prop gun that have been loaded with live ammunition, a revolver went off killing the cinematographer. Baldwin was indicted earlier this year after the charges were previously dropped. He is now set to go on trial in july for Involuntary Manslaughter for which he has pleaded not guilty. At one point late last year prosecutors revoked a plea deal that was on the table. Fox news contributor and Attorney Says he would not be surprised if another one gets in the works. There are vulnerabilities on the prosecution side. On the defense side, a sequence of events is well known. And, so, i think both sides have an incentive to potentially cut a plea deal. Alicia the films serving an 18 month Prison Sentence after being found of Involuntary Manslaughter in negligent use of a revolver. Four more on this and attorney joins us. Brian, thank you. Lets start with this baldwin case. What are the chances do you think this will actually go to trial. A. Great to see you again. This case should not go to trial i would have tried to throw out these charges on a different basis. Not trying to brought a grand jury indictment. You will never do that. There has already been a jury trial. The trial has found guilty Hannah Gutierrez read. It was her sole job to handle that firearm and make sure there was no ammunition and it. Theres a Jury Instruction that says one party is the primary or substantial costs of the death of somebody that you cannot have a Second Person be responsible for that. That is what i would be arguing if i was alec baldwin to get out of this case. My second point would be, look, david halls was a producer. The person that gave the gun before baldwin. He copped a plea deal for negligent handling of a firearm which is a misdemeanor. That is what the prosecution should do what baldwin if they cut a deal. Captain plead to a misdemeanor and get this case over. I dont think we are done yet you have a really good point there. Lets talk concert tickets. The Department Of Justice filed an Antitrust Lawsuit against live nation ticketmaster. Here is attorney general garland not only deploying tactics to artist and then use to use services that charge fans excessive fees. It is also worked strategically and illegally to eliminate the threat of potential rivals from emerging across any of its businesses. How do you think this will go yeah, i think the doj has a lot of traction on this case. Unlike recent lawsuits against amazon and google where i dont think the doj will prevail. I think they may prevail on this case and here is why. You have to prove there is a monopoly. That is easy. Live nation owns 40 of the 50 Concert Venues across the country. They also act as promoters and they have ticketmasters to act as ticketing. They clearly have a monopoly. What has to be proven as they have gained marketshare as opposed to organic competitive growth. That is where i think live nation will lose. Why . In this complaint it was very well written. There were emails with this Company CalledOpenview Group where they were promoter. You can see that live nation was bullying them on not promoting certain artists. Those two ended up colluding and now they are part of live nation the statement that garland was making made it sound like he was talking about the mob. Let me put out a statement. They did respond in part saying this will not fix ticket problems. Calling Ticket Master Them Monopoly may be a winner for the doj but it will lose in court. The fact that the bulk of service fees go to venues and competition has steadily eroded ticketmasters market share and profit margin. You just pointed out there is not much competition left out there because of the way they have been accused of behaving. Well, that statement is an oxymoron. There is not a lot of competition because live nation is allegedly gobbling up all the other promoters and venue owners another quick point, you know, when it was alleged here, live nation withhold artists from performing at certain then use and less they agree to have live nation promote them. To me, that is not going to lower ticket prices. Look at the taylor swift debacle where prices went through the roof at that concert. Alicia that was just a fiasco, the taylor swift thing. In 2010, the doj approved the merger between ticketmaster and live nation. In 2019, they said again you can continue until 2025. Even after live nation was not acting in the best way that they could, they violated conditions, so why now . Between 2019 and now, is it because of all the attention that came back after the problems . That is a great point. What is changed . The doj must have known about the climate we all existed Buying Tickets to concerts. I think you are right. What the doj did strategically has not really mentioned in this 124 page lawsuit. I think that that was the impetus to take a closer look. Why . Legislators across the country were telling their constituents, you should file a complaint with the doj about what happens. I think because of the pressure, they had to bring this lawsuit. Taylor swift literally everywhere. Brian claypool, thank you. Great to talk to you on this saturday. Great to see you.
