we should have jake tapper shut the border down. blocking most migrants from en entering the u.s. yeah, that will happen. >> lawrence: president biden touching down in france to commemorate with white house announcing he will not meet with the media almost immediately after landing. he called the lid, steve. >> steve: day before d-day. screen left peter doocy is live on a roof in paris. we start with lucas tomlinson live in the bureau in d.c. good morning. lucas tomlinson five months to the day from election day. president biden said he had done all he could fo fix the border. some thought they were expecting executive orders at state of the union address and here they are. shuts down border after 2500 encounters per day and reopens it when encounters drop to 1500 per day. they can be criminally prosecuted. prevents asylum seekers -- to enter the u.s. each year. critics say this is proof white house does have ability to shut down the border if it wants to. here are exceptions to new executive orders. it will not apply to visa holders, unaccompanied minors and those using the cb cotton cbp 1 anticipate. here is biden's dhs chief with neil cavuto yesterday. we deal with unaccompanied children in a humanitarian way. >> this is encouraging drug cartels to take advantage of kids, does it not, sir? >> we're taking it to drug cartels with unprecedented strength through criminal investigative unit and taking it to the cartels. we accepted unaccompanied children from this asylum bar. >> donald trump's chad wolf said this is proof of biden's failed border policy and proof biden lied to american people fw not being able to do this sooner. >> steve: thank you. to peter doocy live on the rooftop in paris following president biden's arrival ahead of the 80th anniversary of d-day. tomorrow is d-day. it sounds like today is z-day. sounds like the president, they called a lid -- >> lawrence: that was good, steve. >> steve: he's taking a nap. >> peter: that is good, mag n95 magnificent. president biden is here in france and he's just a couple minutes from our location. few minutes after he got there and checked in, white house officials told us not to expect to see him rest of the day. it is possible he's having meetings with european leaders. if that is the case, they are telling him to do more to stop trump from taking over. trump now back in the states, he will make a rare san francisco ap appearance for a fundraiser. new time magazine article, president biden is claiming about trump. there is not a major international meeting i attend that before it is over, that is a world leader does not pull me over and say, he can't win, you can't let him win. tomorrow is 80th anniversary of d-day landings. the plan is for the president to be at the beaches among the 414 allied troops killed taking the beaches 80 years ago. world war ii veterans have been arriving in france ahead of the ceremony. expected to be part of the last ceremonies they will be able to attend in their lifetime. there are only 150 d-day veterans still alive today. president biden will meet with president zelenskyy. he talks about russia invading europe from the east. expect him to make parallels and talk about how things back then, 80 years ago, not that different in his opinion than they are right now. back to you. >> steve: mag nificent, peter lerner. >> that was terrible. >> steve: regarding "wall street journal" article, peter, it talks about how the president, according to 45 people, is in cognitive more than a while back. they describe the president who speaks so softly now. people who are just a few feet from him can't understand him or can't hear him. you see the president all the time. have you noticed he's getting softer and softer? >> peter: sometimes it is so soft that you really have to be paying attention if you're in the room and not able to listen to the microphone he's talking into. those are limited opportunities they put him out there on camera. the reason that this "wall street journal" story seems it is so damaging is because they're talking about all the rest of the time when the president is doing the work. you have biden officials over the last couple months who say forget what you see on camera, behind the scenes he's on top of it. >> lawrence: absurd. >> peter: democrats have known biden for years, who say he is showing signs of age. that is the last thing that they need right now as they are trying to regain ground in the general election polls of swing states against donald trump. so that is a tough one. but at least for today, they are not doing anything about it because the president is here in paris and he is -- >> steve: for d-day. >> brian: thanks a lot. they talk about ukrainian meeting. he's down there, they talk about in january, what they need and don't need. he's reading cards and ep cooing passing to his people and he barely spoke during the whole time and said one quote from an anonymous over negotiation over ukraine, you couldn't be there and not feel uncomfortable, let's just say that. kevin mccarthy said i used to meet with him when he was vice president. i would go to his house. he is not the same person. his explanation of the problem to time magazine. no one can do what i can do now, watch me, i could even take you. >> lawrence: that explains why the world leaders like having him there. they can get whatever they want. talk about how crazy that is and peter just went into it. they are saying when he's in public and you see the notecards and even sometimes questions from the reporters on the note cards and his responses are scripted. when he shuffles away, it is much different in private. how much sense does that make? he turns into a different man. someone that had the opportunity -- >> steve: we hear that from all the people. the other thing and brian talking about kevin mccarthy, mike johnson was talking about how he would go talk to the president about negotiations on ukraine aid and joe biden would launch into general conversation and the speaker was under the impression joe biden did not realize what they had negotiated. mr. president, we've done that work. it is like, what? >> lawrence: to that point, i don't want it to get to the point it was with dianne feinstein. when you wait until the end, all the way to her resignation, she did not know they put the statement out saying she had resigned. i don't think it is right of us to get to the point where the person has to die in the seat before we say, it is time for them to leave. >> brian: if you keep pushing, he'll be gone. >> lawrence: yeah. >> rachel: the problem is,o bad. whether it is barack obama and valerie jarrett, whoer, it is a problem. really quick go back to earlier report before we had pier on and they were talking about the border and he said, you know, the executive order and so forth. mexico has devolved into a narco-state. we're getting the cartel, has anybody heard we're after the cartel and on it? it is a narco-state, they are devolving, chinese are in there, money laundering and chinese are involved with fentanyl and politics in mexico. this is right on our border on top of all the things coming across our border and affecting us, that is our closest ally, it is a huge risk to us. it is not he is a goofy old grandpa, policies are dangerous. >> steve: he is both. >> lawrence: there is implications. >> brian: russia has been decimated, they just called up 200,000 and he's allowed china and iran and north north korea refur bish and rearm them. he is not doing any of this. >> lawrence: i just wonder and i said this in the 6:00 hour, are we going to wait until the staff is gone and joe biden is no longer in office for truth to come out from the staff members? they should not be hirable if they are -- >> brian: see with the debates. land we'll be following it. we are awaiting hunter biden's arrival at the courthouse. >> rachel: set to resume in an hour and hunter's ex-wife is expected toic tathe stand. >> brian: this can't be good. rich edson is live. >> spectators going in right now, we expect soon for the defendant hunter biden to show up for his gunfire hearing. this follows seven hours yesterday of opening statements, witness questioning and awful lot of audio from hunter biden's audio book. when this resumes in about an hour, we'll continue to hear from fbi special agent erica jenson. prosecutors used their question to introduce lengthy segment of hunter's audio book where he says he has super power, ability to find crack in any town any time. used special agent's testimony to bring biden's laptop into the courtroom. there is summary chart of its contents, 18,000 pages long of photos and particular messages. the gun form, asking if the gun buyer used illegal drugs. it is, maed no. defense says that form asks whether he is a drug user, not if he was ever a drug user. defense maintains hunter had periods of sobriety and was not on drugs when he bought the gun. prosecution is expected to call hunter's ex-wife, who is in legal fight with him about unpaid alimony and hallie biden, hunter biden's sister-in-law, who he was in a relationship with after beau biden died. >> steve: the person in america with the hardest job in the world today is abbe lowell. talk all that stuff suggested yesterday and he's got to today on cross-examination, come up with way to inject some reasonable doubt into the minds of the jury. it looks pretty black and white. >> yeah. and that is what he's trying to do. they are trying to pick apart the gun form saying, it does not necessarily say are you currently using drugs. have you ever been a drug user. the chain of custody of who was in possession, whether the gun owner tried to rush him through the process. we expect him to continue that over next few days. >> lawrence: is it expect they also made the argument, he put in his book and been public about it, that he wasn't on drugs at the time. it was an addiction to alcohol, after he told us -- >> steve: well, that is better. >> that is the argument he's making. at that time, defenses he was not on drugs at that time, he was using alcohol and that is a question the form never asked. >> brian: the thing is, i don't think that was true about secret service coming in, fbi agent investigating. that was clear because the gun was gone after hunter's exgirlfriend and beau's widow tossed it into a dumpster. couple days later, a guy was going through the trash and they get alerted. did you find anything strange? yeah, a 38. they chain of custody can't be confirmed found residue of cocaine. i will tell you, he's lost. this family's secrets have been exposed, laptop verified. >> rachel: this jury is in the tank for democrats. >> steve: it is bidenville. >> brian: it is true, i personally don't care if he goes to jail or pays a fine, we can talk about that, i just think everything out there has been exposed, his crack, his cheating on his wife, him going with beau's widow. she's so concerned, text message back and forth and excerpts in the book, naked pictures of him right now, exchanges with his father, stuff they told us was not trued is verified and used against him. >> lawrence: why is the fbi coming to retrieve a gun at a crime scene like that? that is something local cops handle all the time. why do the feds have to come in? >> rachel: because bidens treat federal law enforcement like it is their personal security or law enforcement unit. i don't care about this gun charge, i wish he was on trial for selling out our country, all the shell companies, all the millions of dollars from the chinese. this is all -- >> brian: that is on the laptop, you can't say unverified while you use pictures. >> lawrence: those questions can be asked. >> steve: that is next trial. get through this one and we'll have coverage throughout the day. 17 after top of the hour and carley joins us with news of the embassy. >> carley: that is right. fox news alert, guys. at least three gunmen carried out an attack at the u.s. embassy in lebanon this morning leading to half-hour long gun fight.

>> yeah, well, for your viewers, steve, and as you well know, i am not a fan of president trump, i think the jurors got it exactly right and i hope he is not re-elected. the point of the oped, can we r rise -- lay down rhetorical arms and bridge the gap. maybe it is naive on my part. every time donald trump does something wrong, the left gloats about it and the right rants about it and it begins to escalate. we have to deescalate this, the world is watching and america is more important than one man, whether it is donald trump or joe biden. >> steve: i love the way you started it out. you were talking aboutureiomother and american extensionalism and she interview up in the segregated south and yet to her, you make sure america exceptionalism not by power of the military, on our values. for you, the core is all about value. >> absolutely. and as my mother and my father, but to your point, that greatest generation focused on values and my mother was an english stories. she told stories about john adams defending red coats after boston massacre and talked about grants and how he was able to show grace and compassion through a defeated lee and mcarthur and the japanese and the berlin air lift and marshal's plan. look, can we get past the hatred. we were able to reconcile with the japanese and reconcile with the germans and reconcile between north and south and now you are telling me we can't reconcile among american people between trump and biden, i think we're better than that. >> steve: your next to last pair paragraph and you are taking shots at both sides. >> the left, stop -- political vitriol, on the right support the verdict and find way to bridge it is political divide. there are thoughtful, reasonable, good men and women on both sides, let them speak for america. admiral, would you like the final word? >> yeah, thanks, steve. once again, i know this is not easy. people said, you are naive if you think we will find a way to come together. can we get democrats and republicans to show up on the floor of the house and senate and just agree to focus on the policies, focus on the issues. stay away from our institutions. every time you undermine the judicial system or one of our institutions, you undermine america. to say this was not a fair trial undermines the most important institution we have, our judicial system. this is really a plea for civility and i hope folks on the left and right will listen and read the oped and try to rise above this. >> steve: thank you for joining us from san diego. >> my pleasure, thanks. >> steve: all right, coming up on 8:30 in new york city, no place like home and gen-z is making it a top issue as housing prices sky being roet. we have a live report coming up on "fox and friends." ♪ jardiance! -it's a little pill with a ♪ ♪ big story to tell. ♪ ♪ i take once-daily jardiance ♪ ♪ at each day's staaart. ♪ ♪ as time went on it was easy to seeee, ♪ ♪ i'm lowering my a1c! ♪ jardiance works twenty-four seven in your body to flush out some sugar. and for adults with type 2 diabetes and known heart disease, jardiance can lower the
