more landmark rulings. one could include whether the former president, donald trump could be immune from criminal prosecution. it might come. you never know until the clock strikes 10:00 a.m. eastern time and we're standing by. first, however, wandering on the world stage. so this was during a skydiving demonstration at the g7 in southeastern italy. the awkward moment redirected by the italian prime minister as you see adding to concerns about the president's fitness for the job. add that to what we saw at the white house earlier in the week and you can decide for yourself. good morning, everybody. it's friday. dana has the day off. our friend, gillian, is back for another friday addition for "america's newsroom." welcome back. >> gillian: good to be with you. this is "america's newsroom." the headlines. look at this today's "new york post" reads meandering chief. it has been a week marked by awkward moments for president biden. the slip-ups are overshadowing at times his trip to the g7 meeting with pope francis right now. >> bill: we'll report on the meeting with the pontiff in a moment and we're also told he is cutting that trip short by a day and go back to a fundraiser in california and raise money for the big campaign. kamala harris will take his place at a peace summit. we'll track that. in the meantime, as we wait for more news from the white house and we try to figure out where the president goes next, and what comes of the meeting with the pontiff we'll bring it to you here. team fox coverage. first lucas tomlinson is at the white house. >> good morning, bill. pope francis just met the leaders. g7 in italy. that included president biden and president biden will be meeting with the pope later one-on-one. not clear if the president will discuss his son, hunter, with the pope. alongside ukraine's president last night president biden was asked if he would pardon his son, hunter, he said he would not. during the g7 the main focus is on the war in ukraine. they announced an additional $50 billion to ukraine. there is the pope there speaking right now, bill. but it was during the press conference last night alongside zelenskyy the president received a question about gaza and the president seemed very irked about the question saying he is here about ukraine and accused reporters of violating the rules. the white house correspondents' association firing back with a statement that read in part, bill, quote, while the white house does determine the number of reporters the president will recognize, it is up to professional journalists to decide what to ask. since president biden has approved ukraine taking limited strikes across the border into russia, the mayor of ukraine's second largest city said some attacks from russia have been reduced but notable that president zelenskyy of ukraine says he needs seven additional patriot air defense missile systems. one problem. u.s. army only has 14 of those weapon systems deployed around the world now. if the u.s. to send more they have to manufacture more. they make 12 a year and in high demand across the world. >> mary kathryn joins us. you have joe biden over there in italy, a lot of people giving attention to the video we just watched. meanwhile you have donald trump meeting behind closed doors with guys that used to hate him. that's something else in one day. >> it is. a contrast that i think serves trump well. it is hard to watch that video and pretend it is nothing. i tend to be on the snarky side and ripe for making fun of but it's too sad to do that at the moment. i think the italian prime minister handled it graciously. she shouldn't have to be doing that. what you said, bill, wisely you can decide for yourself watching that video. many voters have already decided. 70 or 80 plus% say he is too old to serve another four years. that includes large majorities of his own voters from 2020. people see what is in front of their eyes. even when much of the media and the democratic machine pretends it's not there. >> gillian: let's talk about the visit yesterday, trump's visit uniting unity on the hill. which some extent it did and underscored sometimes the rift that is going on in the party bringing out into the open at times the story yesterday was about who wasn't going to the meeting and who wasn't happy on the tail end of it. what did you make of all that, anything surprise you? >> i think everyone should be prepared to go back and forth on the unity message. it is not always going to look unified. when he came out of this meeting, trump was on message about unity. he was on message about the major issues of the day. the economy, he mentioned the russian subs off of the florida coast that people care about and mentioned the border and crime. he mentioned things that matter to people that people watch biden in that video and say i don't think he is manning this ship right now and maybe we need someone different. now, they are both elderly but i think it's pretty clear from the contrast which one is more capable at the mic, maybe more capable at the helm and what trump was trying to communicate and very disciplined about it. >> bill: we'll talk to charles payne about his pitch about taxes. here is a shot at mitt romney leaving the meeting. initially he wasn't going to attend with some flight changes and he was there and mitch mcconnell there as well. go back to the fox poll here about those who believe that joe biden has the mental soundness to serve, all right? 41%. here is vice president kamala harris's favorability. she is well underwater at 40% favorable. kathleen hochul in new york has done two things people didn't expect. in one week democratic governor sided with a lot of progressives on their policies for 3 1/2 years. last week said this congestion pricing that will be attached to everybody who drives in lower manhattan is a bad idea for middle class families and workers. it is gone for now. and then she says we need to get rid of masks for protestors, especially when it comes to those who are on the streets favoring hamas over israel. watch. >> it's not a crime in our state. legitimate protest is part of freedom of speech. we also protect that. people cross the line into criminal behavior, threatening behavior, that's a different ballgame all together. >> bill: she said protesting is not a crime in our state. are the threads loosening somewhat on all this? >> yeah, i think this shows me that even new york politicians will eventually listen to voters about the clear and present dangers in their streets, right? and i'm not sure this is the perfect way, a mask ban is what she is talking about, a rule in place in new york since the 1800s but was repealed in 2020 because masks became good and virtuous and she was created a culture where masks are viewed as virtuous. it will be very hard to limit the use of that particularly in a protest situation. i think the idea of actually doing something to prevent these things that are beyond speech is what they need to be doing. this feels -- the mask mandate feels like lip service. they can't do it without the legislature being in session until january. in the meantime have your d.a.s punish people who do things that go beyond speech such as vandalism and harassing jews in the street. there are real dangers here that can be dealt with within the power of the city of new york and within the power of law enforcement without having to go to legislature. >> bill: it is interesting how the laws came about. back to the days of the kkk. think about that now. that's where we are now with the protests in new york. >> gillian: thinking about the mayor's office the governor's office excuse me, early on a friday, thinking about banning these masks on subways now because of the jump -- huge jump in crime that this city has seen. we have to leave it there. thank you for joining us. >> bill: have a great weekend. [sirens blaring] >> gillian: hezbollah launching a barrage of rockets and drones into northern israel bringing iran-backed group and the jewish state closer to an all-out war. the attack sparked fires and injured two people. so far it comes after an israeli strike killed a top hezbollah commander last weekend. 100,000 israelis forced to leave their home in northern israel due to the frequency of these attacks. >> bill: the area we're talking about. in the middle east so much action around gaza. this is the northern border with hezbollah. they have fought a number of wars, 1982, summer of 2006. what hezbollah does is they -- let me clear this off and back up one time to this graphic here. the israelis months ago, about 80,000, deserted this area northern israel. everything here in black, they've left these villages all along the border and gone further south. a lot of them are saying we want to go home again. you need to manage this situation here. this week alone in 48 hours around wednesday, you had upwards of 200 rockets that were fired into israel. nobody killed. very few injuries reported. a lot of fires created and in the area of northern israel. this is what hezbollah has done. this is the capacity they now have backed by iran to attack jerusalem. jerusalem and tel aviv and gaza. all the action so far has been up in this region. take you back to this map once again. hamas is supported by iran, hezbollah is supported by iran. the israelis don't want to fight the two-front war. hopefully with some diplomacy we get the temperature down. right now this week it is something to watch and we shall. 12 minutes past the hour. get to this right now. >> there is no perfect system. we can always do better. i will say that we've encountered well over 3,000 criminal migrants in this sector alone. >> bill: unchecked and unvetted. border officials sounding the alarm about a dangerous gang from venezuela crossing into the u.s. they are here and a rising concern. also this. >> the o.j. simpson case was my life for more than two years. i lived and breathed it. on the air for hours and hours every day. chased down countless stories. it was the only thing people talked to me about. >> gillian: it's perhaps, most talked about criminal case in history. 30 years later a brand-new documentary is shedding light on o.j. simpson. we have him on the biggest revelations coming up ahead. >> bill: the nypd stopping a potential terror attack this week after this arrest of a suspect. what we're learning about this man after his day in court. >> we really don't know where he was going. we only know he was two blocks from the airport and also know all these expressions added together with all of these weapons, all of this ammunition, everything that was in that car. we're not taking any chances. it's more magic than ever. with the scrubbing power of magic eraser and the cleaning power of dawn. watch it make soap scum here... disappear... and watch how sprays can leave grime like that with up to 10 times the cleaning power, foamy melts it on contact. magic. it makes this ring a thing of the past. it makes you forgetti about baked on spaghetti. new ultra foamy magic eraser. clean with more magic than ever. okay everyone, our mission is to provide complete, balanced nutrition for strength and energy. yay - woo hoo! ensure, with 27 vitamins and minerals, nutrients for immune health. and ensure complete with 30 grams of protein.

>> it sure does and it is not just limited to this gang when it comes to the problem of vetting thoroughly. we saw this with the eight suspected terrorists from tajikistan and the two jordanian nationals at quantico trying to breach security. the fact is vetting is only as good as the systems we're vetting against. and many countries of origin where these migrants are coming from don't have systems in place for us to ping against or it's an adversarial country like china that just refuses to share information with us. so this is a huge problem. this is where we're seeing the system get beaten time and time again and let's remember why this is all being exposed? because of the biden inept policies down at the border which has created a rushed and chaotic process which has now exposed our achilles heel in the vetting process. >> bill: we'll be talking about this every day for the next five months. when does it change and how? >> well, look, our threat level is ten times hirer than it was pre-9/11 because of these policies. facing more threats from more places at any time in our history and we aren't but oned up in the security sense where we should be. every policy this administration has implemented has directly undercut our entire homeland security apparatus and the agencies that have taken an oath to protect the country. >> bill: they are all saying the red lights are flashing. he was on the hill ten days ago. >> the bigger problem in my view is two-fold. one, individuals who, when they come in, are either armed with fake documents or snuck in in some way, or -- this is very important -- individuals for whom there is not enough derogatory information in the intelligence community to watch list them yet. >> bill: he said two things that remind me of the hijackers of 9/11. fake documents and not enough information to watch them yet. that's not good. >> yeah, no, it's not good. even sadder part of this is normally when director wray testifies he is sitting next to the secretary of homeland security telling congress that everything is okay and that everybody is being thoroughly vetted. so we don't have a government that's working in a seamless way right now. and the department of homeland security is creating an environment where we have agencies like the f.b.i. trying to prevent a terrorist act from taking place in the country looking for a needle in the hay stack and dhs and this administration have made the hay stack the size of new york city. >> bill: we have to do better coming from the very top. thank you for your time. thanks for being here on a friday, thank you, sir. >> thank you, bill. >> we want to see success for our country and we don't have success right now. we have inflation that's killing everybody. >> gillian: as americans grapple with inflation not cooling fast enough they're staring down the barrel of a potential tax hike. look at the competing visions offered by republicans and democrats. plus this. president biden gearing up for a star-studded high-dollar fundraiser. wait until you see the guest list. we'll bring it to you next. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ chewy, a citi client, uses citi's financial expertise to help drive its growth and keep its supply chain moving, so more pet parents can get everything they need... right when they need it. keeping more pets, and families, happy. ♪ for the love of moving our clients forward. for the love of progress. ♪ ♪ have you always had trouble losing weight and keeping it off?
