now. thank you very much, carley. it's 6:00 here in new york city. 64 degrees. welcome to tuesday, june 4th, 2024. and "fox & friends." we start with a fox news alert. president biden finally apparently taking action today to address the border crisis, which has gone on for years. he is expected to announce a partial shutdown asylum processing program. we have got a live report to explain the numbers coming up. >> brian: i don't mean to correct you, steve he says he can't do anything at the border. we have to change the prompter. the jury is seated, exclamation point. opening arguments in hunter biden's trial, dash, starts this morning, period. what to start after this year's in the courtroom. pregnant pause. >> ainsley: plus, stealing the show, exclamation point. >> little differences at the ballot box. >> ainsley: congressman john rose's 6-year-old son going viral for that moment. they both will join us a little later. >> lawrence: "fox & friends" starts right now and remember, mornings are better with friends. >> ainsley: we start with a fox news alert. president biden expected to take executive action on the border crisis today. >> steve: the apparent unilateral move after years of inaction would allow him to partially shut down the processing of migrants seeking asylum once it hits a magic number. >> lawrence: madeleine rivera is live in washington with the latest, hey, maddy. >> hey, guys. we have netted to see official details from the white house regarding its plans. several outlets associated press saying this executive order would shut down between portsdz of entry once illegal border crossings would hit 2500. the border would only reopen once it drops to 1500. president biden is tapping into his executive powers under section 212 f of the immigration and nationality act. it blocks certain migrants from coming into the country if they're deemed, quote: detrimental to the interest of the united states. unquote. former president trump used section 212 f to impose the muslim ban, which president biden reversed in his first week in was o. needless to say the move marks a significant shift for the president. is he facing a lot of bipartisan pressure though to take stronger action on the southern border which many voters sees a one of his weakest spots. a fox news poll last month shows 64% of registered voters disapprove of his handling of border security. the white house has tried to pin the blame on republicans for tanking the senate's border bill earlier this year saying they have been looking at other options. regardless, the president's critics see this expected order as nothing more than a political stunt. it will likely be met with legal challenges. president biden will reportedly sign this order today alongside democratic mayors from southern border cities. again, we haven't seen confirmation from the white house nor is this listed on his public schedule for today, but there is a major gap between 10:00 a.m. eastern when he gets his daily intelligence briefing and 6:15 p.m. when he and the first lady host a congressional picnic. take it as you will, you guys. back to you. >> steve: got plenty of time. >> brian: someone has got make the sand witches in between if you are going to have a picnic. >> ainsley: we heard about this because a lot of the mayors down on the southern border saying he invited us to the white house. a few are going to the white house. >> lawrence: democrat mayors. >> ainsley: brownsville. >> brian: he has a previous engagement. >> steve: we no, i do not know if until we hear it from the president himself, sounds like the magic number is 2500. once 2500 migrants come any single day they will shut things down. either return them to their home country or to mexico. >> lawrence: can you imagine the surge that is going to happen. anybody celebrating black friday when they say hey, got 100 tv's. everyone line up. and you see all the people. he storm the store. it's the same thing that's going to happen at the border. also, i don't understand this reaffirming of the law that says that you got to apply pay port of entry. i don't understand why we executive order to somehow what do they say to people should be going to the port of entries to begin with it's only going to make it worse at the border. i'm interested to see what the border patrol union is going to say about it. >> ainsley: you bring up a good point. 2500 line up at the border. first 2500 get in that day. will there be a long line at the border? is everyone going to camp out and waited for their day or are they going stoned them back? >> brian: you have got to know the bouncer to get in always works. big velvet robes. unless you are a hot girl with a short skirt you will get let right away like the clubs in new york. >> steve: returned home or to mexico, and they will be ineligible for asylum. the problem is mexico apparently and i didn't realize this, has -- they also have a magic number. a certain number of people who he are not from mexico they will allow back. in best of your knowledge of people from sudan, let's just say put them back in mexico. >> brian: a little sudan in mexico city like the little italy here. we pretty much handled the italian irish surge no problem. we don't have a lot of the italians lining up at the border. >> carley: math yanchts according to the poll. he insulted both my people. it's amazing i came to work the next day how hurt i was. about 7,000 people tried to get in on a daily basis. good luck with that there is going to be a big bell along the border everything shuts down, a giant curtain drops. i don't think this has any chance of being implemented. i think in a way he is hoping the courts shoot it down look, i tried. just like the muslim ban, it's basically the same axiom and the same law when the president, the former president tried to do -- do the muslim ban they dropped the sur tan on that. and just lastly, unaccompanied minors, children, you can still get, in doesn't count. so, catch a kid. we have 82,000 missing kids but we're going to have more missing kids soon day one he shuts down the border. day one he remains in mexico. then he says he can't do anything about it. up to congress. now is he trying to do something about it. what was it yesterday on "the new york post." 350,000? >> lawrence: when he shuts it down. let's say this plan is. >> steve: let's hope it works. >> lawrence: let's say it works. what is going to hand with all the other illegals camped at the border? are they going to stop? we have seen how they treated texas dps. the border patrol agent. you are going to cause a fight at the border, so then how do you handle that remember, they don't have that many agents at the border. they are processing now. is he going to send a surge? knob of this makes any type of sense but, again, going to have chad wolf to react to later. >> brian: i want to do 23 and me with you the way you use your hands? very italian. we're going to look into that. >> lawrence: ancestry did this thing on me i need to go check. could would he be related? >> brian: it's an excellent chance. why are doing the next segment together. >> ainsley: he is wearing green. he a little irish. drunk godfather. >> brian: which by the way is a great sandwich godfather used to serve at ben gantz. bennigans out of business and i don't wait there no more. >> ainsley: that's where you took dawn on first day. >> beef steak charles all can you eat and drink. >> ainsley: ate the shrimp with the shells on it. >> brian: i did not know you peal it off. >> steve: first time you had ever been in a restaurant with a table cloth? >> lawrence: how do you explain that? >> brian: i explain i don't go out to eat a lot. >> ainsley: took brian 25 years to learn you peel your shrimp. >> steve: what about lobster? a lot to chew on there. >> brian: too much work. to another fox news alert. owning statements set to begin this morning in hunter biden's federal gun trial now that a jury of six men, six women have officially been seated. >> lawrence: rich edson is live outside the wilmington courthouse in delaware. >> rich: good morning, guys. we got a jury and just about three hours away from opening statements here in hunter biden's federal gun case. auto jury spent all day yesterday getting seated. the prosecution's team then it's hunter biden's lawyers likely lead defense attorney abbe lowell, 45 minutes aside is what we're thinking we will get. hunter faces three felonies in connection with 2018 gun purchase. prosecutors accuse him of lying on a federal firearm form that asked if he was a drug user. they say he illegally possessed a gun for about a week and a half. yesterday, the court arrived jury. six men, six women. the four alternatives are women. judge mary maryellen nor like aa instructed them to avoid discuss organize reading about the case. first lady jill biden spent half sister and ashley biden. president biden stayed away from the courthouse he said in statement as president i don't and won't comment on pending federal cases but as a dad i have boundless love for my son. confidence in him and respect for his strength. our family has been through a lot together and jill and i are going to continue to be there for hunter. the president is expected to speak with hunter daily during this trial about two three times more than usual. that's according to the "new york times." prosecutors have also signaled they may call hunter's ex-wife kathleen buel, hallie biden who is beau biden's widow. the prosecution revealed last evening would open its case calling fbi special agent erika jensen to the witness stand. >> this is the gun case, it is separate from hunter biden's business dealings and the tax case which is in los angeles. that is expected to begin in september back to you. >> steve: all right, rich, thank you very much. the judge did say to the prospective jurors and everybody who was seated yesterday, clear your schedule through june 17th. so it sounds like that's how long it could go. the jury does include a former secret service employee several jurors said they had family members or close friends with substance abuse. one was dismissed. apparently they were friendly with hunter biden's brother, beau biden. >> carley: remember in the election no one knew about had hunter biden's laptop. because the social media site suppressed it. only "the new york post." we were reporting it. >> lawrence: intelligence agencies. >> ainsley: on the jury almost all have heard. >> brian: wonder what the jury screening was like. during this election process, all of the potential jurors said they know someone who has been or currently experiencing substance abuse. >> steve: right. >> brian: okay. you have made it. almost every potential juror had said they heard about the case in the news. i thought both of those things would be like qualifying thing that you would stand up and go next, next? instead in a up matter of minutes we got ourselves the jury. >> lawrence: first part of the substance abuse. that doesn't surprise me. we are talking about most of americans but the second part of hearing about it in the news. i guess the follow jump and i'm not sure if they asked about it influenced newsom way? that part did surprise me, brian. the great thing i don't know how you could critique because i think she has been extremely fair right now ask the prosecution as well as the defense is there any precedent for the deal i think she has been extremely fair present things and motions as well. >> lawrence: they criticize her because she was appointed by trump. >> brian: jury pool everybody he grew up in delaware. biden. >> lawrence: his name son everything. several jurors dismissed because they said they had strong opinions not about drugs but about guns, the doj or the bidens. if anybody had strong ooxzs to that they just got booted yesterday. they are not going for the ride. >> ainsley: what message is the white house sending having jill biden walk into the courtroom first lady of the united states. >> brian: with all the suvs, and everything the hoopla that happens. i would say this. i just don't get why they didn't cut a deal. this is going to be so embarrassing ex-wife taking the stand. on the list. addiction, laptop, the pictures, the photos all things that led up to this, the throwing out of the gun. purchasing of the gun. what happened in between the gun. how they had go and find a homeless guy that used to go through the garbage and that guy track him down next week yeah i found a 38. here's a 38. give it back to him don't charge my girlfriend who is beau biden's widow. so, this is just going to be embarrassing and you could probably looking at a conviction as opposed to that deal. >> it could have been different but the president of the united states this is hunter biden, we get that the president is actively saying that my son did nothing wrong reports of it. what is happening in the courtroom. how is that going to look on the president? look how sympathetic everybody is to this conch as opposed to the conch of donald trump? listen to this. >> the gun trial could expose embarrassing details of the biden family life. major distraction of president biden as he fights for re-election. >> this is historic case consequences biden family so many american families. carries the very real potential of personal and political pain for the president. what is to it follow mundane and at the same time deeply personal and potentially deeply elm waiver wassing for the defendant. >> lawrence: i mean, are you kidding me? they have eviscerated the former president and his family for weeks now and then all of a sudden we have to show sympathy. they also gave streamed live the president's speech saying what would have happened if it was black people on january 6th? okay. let's put a black person in the shoes of hunter biden with the sweetheart deal that he got with a gun charge with drugs, with all the people that he jailed in the 90's? would they have gotten the same sweetheart deal? these guys want to play this game? go ahead and start to unravel this thing just not addiction and gun charge. strategic businessman. addicted to drugs while still. >> brian: that's the key. i'm more interested in the tax stuff. and how it leads to back to the president. >> ainsley: his ex-wife kathleen she wrote a book called "if we break" a memoir or marriage, addiction and healing. i was at lunch with a friend yesterday she said you have to read this book a tell all from the relationship. >> lawrence: ex-wife? >> ainsley: ex-wife kathleen. >> steve: meanwhile joe biden our president is going to be flying to normandy later today for commemoration of the 80th anniversary of d-day. what is interesting is apparently on monday, he, behind closed doors at a fundraising event. he led let former president donald trump have it. for the first time ever he referred to him as a convicted felon who essentially snapped after he lost in 2020. some of the campaign remarks quoted include this. folks the campaign entered unchartered territory last week. for the first time in american history a former president convicted felon seeking the office of the presidency. this isn't the same president who got elected in 2016. he's worse. that's different than friday when he kind of danced around it, never alluded to that but, as we said on the couch and have been projecting for a while, if he were convicted,and he was they are going to hang convicted felon around him. every time they talk about him it's going to be like a brand name. >> ainsley: numbers don't lie and verdict has he energized the trump supporters. he raised $141 million in may. more than a third online donations. 24 hours after the verdict. that's $53 million. and listen to this, 25% of the donors were first time contributors. >> steve: that's amazing. >> brian: he won last month. just won may and that was the big liability. no one argued you are not going to raise as much as the democrats. i think that's an old story now. what is risky. i got this in the "new york times." i didn't realize this. there are so many convicted felons out there maybe they had an addiction or feel they were unjustly charged or had an indiscretion in younger life. not being able to vote even though vote in florida. not travel in places. scarlet letter they live with. number is like 70 million. you start ripping the president. you are a convicted felon. are you -- this is a question now. are you alienating a lot of the those people who say this case doesn't make any sense and this happened to me whether it was legitimate or not. whether you were found innocent or not. whether you had an indiscretion. now you are in your 60's and 70s still got this hanging over your head. your kids and family are embarrassed by it. >> lawrence: it's not just a question. these were supposed to be the democrats' people. they said for years they were advocates for the felons to be able to voted. now because of donald trump we don't want felons to vote. they said they don't want nonviolent offenders to be behind bars. now, because of donald trump, he should be jailed. in arch effort to get donald trump they believe at one point. i think that is going to be the defining moment in race because to ainsley's point, about the fundraiser going up. joe biden likes to say hey, donald trump is worse. the american people worse off under his administration right now. that's what is going to matter at the end of the day. under the trump economy. how are people doing? how are they doing now? >> ainsley: i was talking to someone last night and she said after this verdict i'm definitely giving a thousand dollars. i told her about these numbers how they have all gone up. i think can you only give x amount of dollars to the campaign. can you give more to the super pacs, right? do you know the number? >> steve: i don't know. google it i talked to a friend in south carolina last night. >> brian: going out for lunch and dinner. you got make a choice. >> ainsley: i cannot do that lunch is my thing. i can't do dinner because that's my bedtime. >> brian: a lot of socializing. >> steve: brian brings this up if you had a dinner and lunch as well two. opportunities to actually eat the shell and the shrimp. >> exactly. full circle. seinfeld accept sewed. call back. >> ainsley: only go to dinner when the godfather is involved and whiskey. turning to the headlines a fox news alert. the lapd is monitoring a situation outside of los angeles city hall after dozens of pro-palestinian protesters set up an encampment overnight. officers are reportedly ready to make arrests over the non-permitted demonstration. meanwhile multiple police officers getting hurt in clashes with pro-palestinian activists on the university of pittsburgh's campus. the school saying it was finally able to clear area a few hours ago. now to new york city where surveillance footage shows a man attacking a bike shop worker with a helmet. another person then runs out of the store and stabs the attacker. >> steve: what? >> ainsley: wounded suspect then continues his assault. even throwing something through the bike shop window. police say when they showed up. the man fought back. even biting an officer's hand. both the suspect and the injured officer were taken to a nearby hospital. a 74-year-old woman declared dead at a nebraska nursing home was found alive. two hours later by funeral home employees, police are now looking into very unusual case. >> we have started our investigation into what happened. at this point we have not been able to find any criminal intent by the nursing home the investigation is ongoing. >> the woman is in hospice. she has been seen by a doctor who signed her death certificate on monday. and those are your headlines. >> lawrence: i don't want to make light of this what if the funeral home had already picked her
