rubbery. >> brian: you have to fry it? >> lawrence: gator tail you fry it. >> carley: tastes like chicken. >> ainsley: you have to order it for the whole table. >> steve: tastes like chicken. that doesn't taste like chicken. >> carley: tastes like dark meat. >> lawrence: brian has agreed if the producers get it he will eat it on air. >> brian: i will not eat a reptile. >> lawrence: i understand. >> brian: i guana, no salmon dares, nothing. >> that is my biggest fear seeing an alligator also send your pictures in. if you have a gator in your house, call us. >> ainsley: what's your phone number? [laughter] >> steve: meanwhile, president biden is racing to enact another round of student loan handouts ahead of november's election even though the last one didn't work out.

>> brian: biden has already canceled $146 billion worth of student loan debt. i guess we are all paying it for 4 million americans. >> lawrence: peter doocy is live at the white house. the president, the supreme court said no, biden is still saying yes, peter trying to get some of these folks back with giveaways $146 billion in student debt canceled for 4 million americans to date. the plan is, what he was talking about this week is cancel 10 to $20,000 of interest for more than 25 million more borrowers. that now has jamie dimon telling j.p. morgan investors he thinks 8% interest rates could be on the horizon along with higher inflation. he is not sold on the soft landing for the economy and this is why. he says it is important to note that the economy is being fueled by large amounts of government deficit spending and past

stimulus. this may lead to stickier inflation and higher rates than markets expect. but this loan forgiveness is a key contrast president biden plans to keep making as the next election gets closer and closer. >> tens of millions of people's debt was literally about to get canceled but then some of my republican friends and elected officials and special interest sued us and the supreme court blocked us. but that didn't. [boos] >> well, that didn't stop us. no, i mean it sincerely. we continue to find alternatives to pass student debt repayments that are not challengeable. >> peter: it's a mixed bag for president biden in a new gallup poll that finds independents believe that donald trump is a stronger, more decisive leader but they think joe biden is more likeable. back to you. >> steve: we finally see whatever is making the noise over your shoulder the street sweeper. so peter, where is this money

going to come from, any idea? >> peter: it is going to be taxpayer funded where the government. >> ainsley: from you. >> steve: you are welcome. very good. >> lawrence: thank you, peter. >> ainsley: burns you up all those individuals signed on the dotted line i will pay this loan back. give me an education i will pay it back. who is paying it back? he wants all of us to. >> steve: one of the groups of people that will have their debt canceled is all debt will be canceled for borrowers who have been repaying theirs for 20 years or 25 years 25 years for grad school. wipe out the entire amount 4 million americans just in time for november. the white house says 10 million borrowers will see debt relief of $5,000 or more just in time to decide who is a better pick. >> lawrence: two points that show biden doesn't get it. first of all, he was supposed to return normalcy, abide with what

the supreme court says. is he telling the supreme court no i'm going to do my own thing. it also shows his laziness. instead of working for the votes. going out there and talking with the american people, figuring out how to make life better, he is just going to buy the votes. the thing is. >> steve: we are paying for it. >> we are paying for it. but the supreme court is probably going to strike this down again. already two court challenges to that and it probably won't happen before the election. >> steve: the last program was with the heroes program. which was essentially for national responders during a time of emergency. this one, apparently the new approach, they have had a bunch of lawyers figure out how this is bullet-proof when it comes to the supreme court. they are going to use the higher education act instead. >> brian: a lot of democrats aren't happy with this. jared golden came out of maine said i oppose the president's first student debt forgiveness plan supreme court. and then jon tester, desperate to try to prove himself a

moderate even though he is not in montana. democrats said i made it clear president biden opposed to blanket loan cancellations that forces taxpayers to pick up the tab while failing to fix the root causes of the problem. which is how expensive private college is and why do we subsidize with federal funds if you are going to charge $90,000 a year at tufts or harvard or dartmouth? >> lawrence: see the problem is, ainsley, is, they can't go after the universities because that's where their activists are. you can't go after the presidents. you can't go after the students. you have to seal the deal. you can't tackle the real problem in higher education because those are the democrats' foot soldiers. >> ainsley: who wants to pay $90,000 a year? who can afford that the average american cannot. there are a lot of colleges. my college was not that -- not as expensive as that. and i went to a state school. and some of these states if you get a's and b's there are scholarships and call them different things depending on the state. can you go a lot cheaper.

schumer and elizabeth warren said all you have to do is flick of a pen he can forgive $50,000. but pelosi, she said in the past that biden doesn't have the authority to do, this to forgive the student loan. she said he doesn't have the power. he can postpone, can he delay. but he can't forgive debt. only congress can do that. >> brian: he also wants -- wants to make community college free. it's not free because they get paid. you have to pay the maintenance people, the professors, the researchers, the administrators. >> ainsley: trying to buy votes. >> brian: other people are paying for it. do they understand how the economy works? >> steve: right. the problem is you pump all these billions of dollars back into the economy, that's how he wound up with run away inflation. remember that? we don't want that. so, biden is going okay, how much more do i pump into the economy because last time we put a ton in, the inflation rate went up to 9%. november is coming. i can't do that. >> ainsley: when do you catch a break, steve? you put three kids through college. you probably paid for your own college. now you have to pay for everyone

else's college? >> lawrence: grandchildren. >> steve: that is why a lot of people who didn't go to college feel like they are ripped off. it's wealth redistribution. why do i have to pay for somebody ee's student loans. we should point out these are federally backed student loans. they are not state grants. >> ainsley: military, they risk their lives. they say i will fight for this country if you give me free college. >> lawrence: seems to be a fundamental misunderstanding of the american people. it brings us to our next talking point which is a lot of americans disagree with the former president's personality in some ways. everyone that i talked to say, look, things were better off. 56% of americans said that in gallup. well, this question was posed to the acting labor secretary, she didn't agree with it. she laughed. watch. >> i say it's unfortunate that some people try to peddle a story for, you know, of nostalgia for something that just wasn't true. i say that i mean, look at the numbers.

right? the numbers don't lie. you know, the last president kept talking about an infrastructure week that never materialized. president biden has delivered on an infrastructure decade where we are seeing projects, you know, shovels hit the ground in communities all across the country. and it's just, you know, it's irresponsible to suggest anything else. i don't know what to say. [laughter] >> lawrence: we don't knee either. >> brian: his hysterical. >> ainsley: the border under president biden, been in office three and a half years more than 300 illegals on the terrorist watch list have been caught by border patrol. under donald trump for four years there were 14. when it comes to illegals, 2.4 million encounters last year. last fiscal year. over 300,000 alone in december. breaking record for monthly encounters this past december. gas prices, average gas, 3.46. $3.46. in june, after biden took

office, it was more than $5 a gallon. when trump left office it was $2.42. >> brian: right. when you talk about the weekly earnings. 8% to 4% under biden, 8% under trump, inflation was 5-point -- on average 5.6% under biden. it was 1.9% under trump. if you want to get a 30 year mortgages for the damage, average mortgage 2.7% now at 7% today. good luck with that keep giggling. something else going on that donald trump would not have tolerated. that's the chants of death to america in michigan even if it costs you votes. you speak up and say i don't know what is going on in dearborn. if you are in the united states and feel you shoulchant death to america you are in the wrong country. listen to this. it was a celebration of he had quds day security force he will quds day celebrating and marking that day in michigan while the of course condemning israel. watch.

[chanchanting] chanting] >> talking about this for a long i time. i don't call them protesters in the middle of the street i call them little jihadis they made it clear where they stand on this debate. they do not like the country. they want to change the country. people now in the country that never wanted to assimilate to the country's values system. we are on the brink of something very bad happening in the country because we have allowed these people not only on our college campuses but to openly protest in the middle of the street. these are anti-american. i don't understand why all of these people aren't on watch lists. i don't understand. >> steve: that particular event was on friday in dearborn, michigan. in february, a "wall street journal" op-ed writer referred

to dearborn as america's jihad capital and talked a little bit about how almost immediately after the attacks of october the 7th, people there were -- some people there were celebrating the horrific events that day in rallies and marches. and then fast-forward to the michigan primary, how many people voted uncommitted when it came to the line on joe biden and the democrats simply because they did not like the fact that he stood, joe biden does, with israel to the exclusion of the palestinians. >> brian: don't worry. not much longer. >> steve: here is a.o.c. she was on tv last night on late night where she was talking about how those uncommitted votes actually have a purpose. watch. >> the upside of the uncommitted movement, which is that these are folks that could have easily given way to cynicism and walked away from this process entirely. and what they're doing, instead,

is using the primary to send a message and say this is important to me, to the president. this is important to me. i'm going to engage in our democratic process. i am going to show up. i am going to vote. i am going to say what's important to me. but i also know and i do believe that many in the uncommitted campaign believe this. i also know and understand the threat of a donald trump presidency. >> lawrence: yeah. but they want to destroy the country in the process. they hate the country in the process. >> steve: why are they in this country. >> lawrence: why does the president want their votes. why do you want those people that chant death to america to vote for you? i don't understand why is there no answer from the president and the white house press secretary about the people that are in the middle of the street calling for the destruction of the country and israel? wipe them out. they have made it very clear. this is not semantics or we have to assume what they think. we now have video of what they have been saying all summer long. >> ainsley: to do the right thing can be costly. and, to your point, it could cost him votes if he doesn't

support, this if he just stands with israel. that is what the majority of the country wants him to do. this is not israel's fault what happened on october 7th. there was a cease-fire the day before. then you have hamas that comes in and steals these hostages. human beings, babies, women, not to mention the ones that they killed. put them in ovens and, you know, cut off limbs and all kinds of things that are so horrific. then they took these hostages there are 133 still being held captive. it's been six months now. what do you expect israel to do? they have to fight back. i would think we would fight back if this happened to us. we need a president that stands with him. they are our ally. >> steve: we are their best ally. >> brian: used to be. right now we have the cia director burns over there and they are proposing. he brought up a proposal. 900 prisoners, palestinian prisoners for 40 israeli hostages. at least 100 have life sentences with blood on their hands.

>> lawrence: right. >> brian: let out murderers to get 40 hostages guilty of being in their house when the palestinian -- when hamas came and captured them. >> ainsley: aoc you want a cease-fire, demand that those hostages are released. >> lawrence: right. >> brian: hamas surrender. >> steve: all those people who voted uncommitted or left of blank or whatever come november will still come back to joe biden because as she said at the end, he is better than donald trump. >> lawrence: we don't have an accurate number of the hostages right now. we don't know who is alive and who is dead. >> brian: max 133. >> ainsley: 134 was found. body was found and turns out that person was killed. looks like 133. >> brian: netanyahu going into wrath fall. i'm setting a date and doing it. >> lawrence: as he sudden. >> brian: i hope so. >> steve: there are 40 or so hostages. we have no idea where they are and we have no control over them. you are not going to get them back. >> lawrence: sold them off to all these other little terrorist

cells for negotiation purposes as well. all these other ones were involved in october the 7th. they needed something. iran probably has some. houthis have some. >> brian: they got more than they thought and islamic jihad grabbed some, too. now they really don't have track of them. meanwhile 22 minutes after the hour. jury selection set in trump's hush money case. former acting attorney general matthew whitaker implications of our justice system and so much more. ♪ sure fire way ♪ to heat things up ♪ ♪ ♪ rate based on you, with allstate. because there's a right way to. stop! and the speed limit definitely isn't. 700 million mph. so why would you pay a rate based on. a terrible boss with a terrible haircut!

new york county which is manhattan. what it found was 61% of those people polled think that donald trump is guilty of these crimes. secondly, in 2020, new york city voted by 76% to 23% for joe biden. so, obviously, getting a fair jury panel is impossible. now, all of this court said was let's try to pick a jury and see if it we can get 12 people that can be fair and impartial but i worry that many, because of the high profile nature of this case, are going to want to be on this jury and aren't going to be honest with the court during jury selection. very concerning. >> brian: absolutely. it's a city of activist. i don't know if anybody noticed stop our roads every day. accused donald trump lying about 24 business records. 12 ledger extensions, 11 invoices and 11 checks. the source is michael cohen. he has got some truth problems. meanwhile, let's talk about what is happening on another court case. the doj is refusing to hand over joe biden's audio recordings of

charges to doj. guess what? doj isn't going to follow up on them by any. >> brian: it is worth reading the transcript. the president goes all over the place. ask him one question, and is he talking about his childhood. it does tell the story. so maybe they should pull some excerpts out. evidently the tapes are really telling. matt, thanks so much. appreciate it. >> good to see you, brian. >> brian: also we have on the documents case. there is more back and forth there back in court on friday. quick note coming up on saturday, april 27th. henderson, nevada right outside the strip in las vegas. history, liberty and laughs talking about all my books, patriot tickets, motivational time on stage. you will have a lot of fun. go to brian kilmeade.com. i will see you there. and also going to be -- there'll be specials for face on it and also be streamed live. straight ahead though, happening today the parents of school shooter ethan crumbley will be sentenced over their son's crime. the legal precedence this sits for parents. don't move. ♪ and... buy better plane seats. switch to a king suite.

so long. karl, if you are watching right now message me. i miss you. >> brian: was he a lifeguard? >> carley: no. he wasn't a lifeguard. but i think the last time i heard he was living in colorado and he was a ski instructor. very sporty. >> steve: is that you looked him up this past week? >> brian: let's look him up. >> carley: i will look up karlman and see if i can find any information. >> if you are watching call us 1-866 what is the number here. >> the whole mann family is great. >> lawrence: how do you know you are on good terms? >> steve: carley would have made up a name. >> carley: no, i love karl. >> ainsley: you love karl. >> brian: good break-up. >> we never dated we were friends. >> brian: you went as friends? >> carley: i will email my prom pictures at friends@foxnews.com. >> brian: that works going as friends? >> lawrence: pressing her on it. >> ainsley: are you going to let your daughter go to prom? >> lawrence: yes.

other than he is only kidding. he will change it or he won't do that he will do something else. meanwhile, many democrats and pro-choice advocates have dodged on the question of abortion limits. >> even if it's at 40 weeks, you would be fine for a mother to make the decision to terminate? >> that is a really silly question for you to ask. >> question on abortion. if you support any restrictions at all? >> i'm sorry i have to get to committee, okay? i'm in a mark-up. >> up to the moment of birth, would you vote yes or would you vote no?

>> senator kennedy, i refuse to be shackled by your question. >> shackled by his question? fox news contributor ben domenech joins us now. first, what is your response to that? they won't answer the question. they won't tell us or be transparent about what they want. >> well, of course they won't. that's because they are so extreme on the subject. look, the whole point of the pro-life movement from its inception was protecting unborn lives. that's why we were in favor of getting rid of roe v. wade because we wanted the issue to go back to the states where we can fight on it. and even if that means that there's going to be situations that endure like in new york city where there are more black babies aborted every year than are born. in blue states, we want to be able to fight to protect unborn lives in texas and in florida today and we want to take the fight elsewhere tomorrow. that's something that we have always believed in and it's very important. the thing that i think is problematic for donald trump in this instance is that he is at his best when he is on offense,

not defense. when he tries to thread a needle on something, it often ends up with him tying himself in knots. i think that's kind of what happened here. his statement, i think, doesn't actually leave more people satisfied. leaves some pro-lifers disappointed. i think that democrats are going to continue their parade of lies about all of the things related to this issue arrestedless of anything that he said. that's something that i think really could have been better crafted and said he needs excited pro-life voters just as he had in 2020 like he delivered on his promises in 2024. >> ainsley: people would argue he will get them anyway. that's the far right. they are going to vote for him anyway. this is about winning elections. this has been an issue people have had a hard time with. fox news poll extremely important to you in 2024 vote. the economy was number one. election integrity number two. then it's immigration and then healthcare and then it's abortion. what's your reaction? >> well, my reaction to that is

that, you know, in terms of protecting unborn lives, every republican president in my lifetime has been elected on a platform that endorsed a constitutional amendment that would have exceptions but didn't get into weeks or anything else like that. that would affirm the right of the unborn to life. they got elected despite that and why was that in there? was it because it was achievable goal or something that the g.o.p. thought they would be able to do realistically? no. it was about setting a strong principle in favor of protecting unborn lives. just like they need to do in the case of unwed mothers. like they need to do in the case of adoption and other ways that they can support families. and when it comes to those issues. i think the economy, immigration, those are issues driving black and hispanic men it support donald trump. it's why he is currently leading in this election. and i don't think that they vote on this issue as much. >> ainsley: ben, thank you so much for coming on with us. good to have you. jimmy failla is going to join us straight ahead. ♪ ♪
