6:00 am
(vo) in two seconds, eric will realize they're gonna need more space... (man) gotta sell the house. (vo) oh...open houses. or, skip the hassles and sell directly to opendoor. (man) wow. (vo) when life's doors open, we'll handle the house. ♪ pete: it is the 9 a.m. hour of "fox & friends" weekend.
6:01 am
we start with a fox news alert. congress back in session right now as that highly anticipated -- highly contested foreign aid, it's on the table. nicole: and the besties, well, they're back. president biden calling in obama to help with small donors. >> some things just go together, like me and joe. >> ice cream and a hot summer day. a strong grassroots team and a winning campaign. will: plus, for king and country venturing into film making. we get a preview of their new faith-based movie. the final hour of "fox & friends" weekend starts right now. we begin the final hour of "fox & friends" with a fox news alert. right now the house is reconvening to vote on a $95 billion foreign aid package. nicole: this comes as democrats help push the legislation along in yesterday's vote after many republicans voted against it. pete: chad pergram is on capitol hill. man, there's a mess inside the
6:02 am
house republican caucus here. how's this playing out? >> reporter: well, four separate bills on foreign aid today. in a rare move, democrats helped republicans put the bill withs on the floor, but some on the left are concerned about the aid package for israel. >> and i'm outraged by his cruelty and his inhumanity toward the people of gaza and the west bank. there's no justification for that. what is happening now, e believe, is outrageous and unconscionable. but we will have separate debates, and we will have separate votes on all of these bills. >> reporter: but overshadowing this debate is a maneuver by marjorie taylor greene to dump house speaker mike johnson. ely crane of arizona was one of eight gop members who supported removing former house speaker kevin mccarthy last october. >> i don't think he's being courageous. i think the exact opposite. i think he's falling right in line with what the swamp, what the uniparty expects from its leadership, that you will fall
6:03 am
in line and you will put americans last. >> reporter: many conservatives are mad at johnson for teaming with democrats to put the aid package on the floor, but gop members are spill smarting from the turmoil of last small when -- fall when the house went without a speak for more than three weeks. they rant greene to back off. >> i hope she doesn't. i mean, if you go to main street, usa, and ask american, any american, is your top concern who's speaker of the house in congress, i think they will say, no no. >> reporter: the house takes separate votes on each aid bill. the plan approved yesterday, then automatically would be glued together in one package at the end, then the senate needs to align with the house. back to you. pete: chad, how do you see these votes going? do you -- it seems it would be a mixture of democrats, republicans on all of them, you know? ukrainian aid has been controversial in the republican caucus, but you'll probably get a few republicans and most democrats there, right? >> reporter: yeah. the thing to watch for is if
6:04 am
more democrats vote for some of these bills. they likely have more than 300 votes for ukraine with, quite frankly, for taiwan, probably more than 400. attrition for the -- as you heard jim mcif govern, some democrats have problems with sending money to israel, and they want more money, more i humanitarian aid to go to gaza. will: you know, chad, this fisa bill has a really divided republicans. really divided republicans. and it's fascinating in that you have people over in the senate rand paul, but in the house, thomas massie really opposed to the movements by speaker johnson. as pete pointed out earlier, johnson was on our couch not too long ago, a few months ago, where he said nothing would happen if immigration bill didn't come first. how do you explain -- i know he said i've seen the intelligence. is that to explain the movements, the change by speaker johnson? >> reporter: i think there's been a little bit of an education will there for mike johnson from the intelligence community and the foreign aid
6:05 am
community, people pushing for that. but that's evolved. you know, when you get to be the speaker and you get different types of intelligence briefings than just rank and file members, so i think that's some the influence there. you're right, he wanted something on border. i asked him, pressed him on this just a couple of days ago, and he said i can't put border in there, or it's not going to get through the senate. and the reason they had to glom everything together, he didn't think israel would go by itself alone in the senate, so that's one of the reasons they had to do this combo panel. and if you mentioned fisa. that program did not go dark. the senate, in the wee hours of the morning -- you know, the deadline was 11:59 last night, the senate passed it with 60 votes. notably, there was this odd coalition of democrats and republicans, kind of civil libertarians who got together opposing that including dick durbin, the democratic whip. pete: and, chad, do you think, do you believe -- what would you put the timeline on the threat that speaker johnson's facing from this motion to vacate?
6:06 am
it was one name, now it's two. we're hearing rumors there could be more republicans behind that. there's a lot of grass roots dissatisfaction with these deals cutting. do you think his days are number numbered? >> reporter: well, or there's three now. paul gosar, for sure, and you heard some of the skepticism from ely crane just a couple moments ago. they will probably get through with this vote series is in the 1 to 2:00, maybe 2:30 hour, maybe even as late as 3:00. that's potentially when marjorie taylor greene could offer her resolution. and if he safes it, one of two things has to happen. either9 the house considers it right away, or it waits until the house comes back probably in a week, week and a half. that's privileged, so it goes to the front of the legislative line. what would happen first is if she makes it live and they decide to consider it today, would be a motion to table. that's an effort to kind of kill this resolution. and this is where, if they pass the money for ukraine and the rest of the foreign aid package, will democrats help out. you know, that was significant
6:07 am
on this procedural vote yesterday, to put this overall aid a package on the floor if yesterday that you had democrats, the minority if party for the first time on a major piece of legislation since 1964 help the majority put a bill on the floor. so what they're kind of signaling there is that some will be willing to help mike johnson. it's not going to be more than 100 votes or something like that to help mike johnson, but probably enough if push comes to shove. that could happen today. but if that motion to table were to fail, then you have an up or down vote on whether or not you have a speaker or not. and if that fails, the speakership is vacant. and it took them three weeks, they burned through three candidates before they a landed on johnson last october. i don't know how they could work it out after that if they vacate the speakership at that stage. nicole: i guess we'll see what happens this afternoon. pete: chad pergram, thank you very much. >> reporter: thank you. pete: if opening statements in former president trump's hush money trial start on monday. the full jury has been selected
6:08 am
and sworn in with six alternate jurors picked yesterday. nicole: judge juan merchan denying trump's request for an emergency stay while also continuing a gag order imposed on him last month. the former e president calls it political persecution. >> what's happening here with the judicial system is an outrage. this is a giant witch hunt to try and hurt a campaign that's beating the worst president in history. will: meanwhile, this man is dead after he lit himself on fire outside the manhattan courthouse shortly after the jury was finalized. dozens of potential jurors were dismissed for saying they didn't believe they'd be fair while others expressed anxiety over the highly publicized trial. we talked about this throughout the morning. you know, we've talked about what i think -- obviously, in this district it's going to be overwhelmingly antagonist ific to donald trump. we all agree there's very few people in america that are truly impartial, right?
6:09 am
and not just opposed, but in support of donald trump as well. i just think you have a hard time finding americans, you know, i've got no opinion. now, can people set that aside and fairly analyze the evidence, that's what we'll have to see starting on monday with opening arguments. be e just, i am -- but i just, i am so pessimist ific on the ability of a single juror to withstand what is lineally going to be an incredible -- likely going to be an incredible amount of peer pressure to actually give this a fair trial. nicole: the question on whether this is going to be a fair trial goes far beyond the jury box. how about the fact they denied the motion for a change in venue, they're not allowing the defense team to see the witnesses before with they are called and this unilateral gag order. the former president isn't allowed to speak about the case, yet you have judge merchan's daughter who, leery, it is a conflict there -- clearly, she works for a pro-democratic digital campaign, some of them anti-trump. if that is not a conflict of
6:10 am
interest, i don't know what is. pete: the whole thing's a sham. they revived old charges outside the statute of limitation. they found a way to tie 'em to some election law that they won't fully reveal about him, and that's where they want him, right there in that a seat, for the next six weeks. that's what they want. they don't care about pairness. they want to rig it with whatever jurors they get counting on the pool of manhattan. they have a judge in their pocket if that can squelch his ability to defend himself. we add that prosecutor on earlier who helped us break down the new york docket, they don't care if this thing gets appealed or overturned. that's to not the point. the point so to tie him down, will, you said it and you're right, to be able to say convicted felon, donald trump, and run that in campaign ads in perpetuity. they don't care if these are fake charges, if it was a rigged jury, if it was a trial that's a mess and has to be appealed. they're getting what they want right now which is him pinned down. and if he's doing everything he can, speaking every day, laying
6:11 am
that out. he walked up to the podium the other day, it was great. it was stacked full of papers of all the headlines of what a kangaroo court this whole thing is, and he just read them off to the press. there it is. because the press is never going to report that. and it's funny, or last thing, the other networks cover him obsessively. they'll never stop talking about him except when he talks -- will: right. pete: they talk about him all day, but when he a talks, they cut away from him. nicole: they want to put their narrative onto donald trump and not necessarily what he's saying, what is his truth. will: it's a political trial, so might as a well lean into the politics. it's a shame this trial isn't televised because it's going to be filtered through prisons, and by the very nature of it being political, fine, make it all the way political. we should be able to see this trial. last point on appeal, to your point, pete, he probably wouldn't find relief at either the appellate level or the new york court of appeals which is
6:12 am
their supreme court because of politics. so it really wouldn't reach a resolution of true justice until it met the united states supreme court. pete: and that could take who knows how long. nicole: similar to when the states were trying to remove donald trump from the state ballot, it had to get to the supreme court for them to unanimously vote -- pete: because trump appointed a bunch of the justices. will: meanwhile, congratulations to pete and tennessee. pete: you seemed to think this was not a big win for me, you seemed to think it was not -- she could is chosen any number of states including texas -- will: a "sports illustrated" model chose nashville, tennessee, to relocate after of the declining state of california. here she is last night on jesse watters. >> you know, you come to california to, it's the city of dreams, the state of dreams, right? you think this is where i can accomplish anything. but it does not feel safe anymore. i don't feel safe going to the grocery store. i don't go anywhere outside without my if husband with me, and i certainly don't take my
6:13 am
kids into city limits. there is a movement, i'm sure you heard of this red wave leaving california and red states might say don't bring your views. i'm certainly not. i think there needs to be massive change, and i compare everything to football. if this guy's fumbling over and oh again, newsom with over 20 years' experience in our state, and he keeps fumble? cut him, bring in someone new and lead us to a w. will: yeah. nicole: she's radioright. the masses fleeing -- she's right. i live in new jersey which is the east coast equivalent of california, but i would love to live in texas or tennessee. but my patients are here, and i don't want to leave them. pete: it's true. there are plenty of people stuck without the option to move and living ace midst the failure that generations of people have voted for. california used to be a red state. nicole: elections is have consequences. pete: governor ronald reagan back in the day, and then they decided to turn blue and elect a bunch. of crazy people. will: we're not running the same
6:14 am
b roll pictures they ran on prime time. pete: no, we're not. i don't think we have the same approval. nicole: she's beautiful, okay? she's a beautiful model and now she'll be in tennessee -- will: i didn't notice. [laughter] pete: no, will was focused. he's a focused manful. nicole: let's turn to some headlines. will: news. headlines. starting here, minnesota congresswoman elle hand to marseilleses she is proud of her daughter after she was arrested for rioting at an anti-israel protest earlier this week, omar's daughter was suspended from the university. omar says, quote, stepping up to change what you can't tolerate is why we as a country have the right to free speech. fellow squad member rashida tlaib is criticizing omar's daughter's suspension calling it appalling. a 13-year-old boy is facing a felony after authorities say he pointed a laser at a florida sheriff's office helicopter. he says he did it because he was bored.

pete: anti-israel protests erupting on ivy league campuses with their pro-hamas, pro-terrorist message. our next guest says scenes like in this one are all too familiar and that these protesters are following the exact same script as black lives matter and antifa rioters in his home hometown of seattle starting in 2020. seattle talk radio host jason rantz joins us now. jason, thanks for being here. do you think we're at the beginning of something that we're to gown to have to deal with through the summer? what are you seeing? >> absolutely. i mean, this is starting almost precisely the same way that the blm and antifa movement took over in 2020, leading us into that summer of love, right in you've got to start this massive amount of law breaking. less violent in this case, but it was trespassing. you have a police response that then the protesters claim was too overwhelming and out of line. ten you get a bigger protest the next day. then you have politicians and law enforcement trying to figure out whether or not at that point
6:31 am
it's worth to get engaged again and to the same thing because if they don't, they end up creating this momentum on the protesters' side which then spreads. and that that's precisely what we're seeing right now. not only is it happening in columbia, you're seeing these different solidarity protests popping up around college campuses including yale last night. and it's only going to continue into this next week. and so by letting up and not putting back some sort of semblance of law and order as far as trespassing is concerned, they're just giving in. and what we're going to have is this happening over and over and over again until it's too big and we're not going to be able to put it back. montana. pete: if yeah. looks a lot like chazz and chop, the autonomous if zones. these things happen to spring up, just so happen to spring if up in election years, 2020, 2024. what's that all about? >> well, it's because the same people are behind all of this. at the end of the day -- what's interesting is, yes, they're anti-semitic and they don't like israel or jews,, the but the
6:32 am
venn diagram just overlaps, and there's no room in between. these are anti-capitalist organizations, socialists who are going after to oppressive regime of capitalism. and when you pay attention to some of their language, some of the signs that they bring, they're going after the economy. on monday when they were blocking the roads to sea-t the ac airport or chicago o'hare or the golden gate bridge, that was an economic blockade. they're not hiding it, they're just using israel the same way, frankly, they used the blm issue to commandeer and push forward with their own political agenda. pete: yeah. these are the same a answer folks, the same socialist folks, just a different veneer on the same revolution they're trying to impose if on the rest of us. jason rantz, you see it from that view because you've seen it from the beginning before. appreciate if you coming on this morning. thank you. >> thank you. appreciate it. pete: all right. trump officially has a jury for his hush money trial. and opening arguments are set to start on monday.

will: the fbi officially serving subpoenas to dolton, illinois, mayor tiffany henyard. madeleine rivera joins us now. >> reporter: the fbi conducted law enforcement activity, four agents from the fbi served two
6:37 am
federal subpoenas to obtain personnel and business records. tiffany henyard has been embroiled in scandal for weeks, named in a a sexual assault lawsuit. she's also accused of mess using funds, spending large amounts of taxpayers' money on lavish trips and security detail. at one point, she billed the village nearly $8,000 for a glam and makeup team over just two months, listing it as an assistant cost. that's despite her nearly $300,000 salary which is higher than the state's governor. earlier this month the village board hired former chicago mayor lori lightfoot to look into the allegations of corruption. >> we don't know how our money is being spent. we are ability at -- about at a $7 million deficit because the board of trustees who handled the money, they haven't received any of their documentation. we can only assume that it's at $7 million and growing.
6:38 am
>> reporter: henyard has a statement out on facebook saying to all you clowns that's a part of the circus, misery needs company. i pray for you all. stop chasing fake news. guys, back to you. will: opening arguments tart monday in former president trump's hush money trial with a full jury and alternates selected and sworn in. trump saying this yesterday: >> what's happening here with the judicial system is an outrage. this is a giant witch hunt to try and hurt a campaign that's beating the worst president in history. will: let's bring in former federal prosecutor brett tolman to look forward. i do want to look forward. it's hard, honestlyies it is hard because as an attorney and being raised in the attorney, the community of attorneys, i know that trials kind -- the trial's kind of over once the jury's sworn in. the point is often it's who'd you put on the jury, and that's how it goes. but still, we have an entire trial to try to sway someone's
6:39 am
hopefully impartial mind. how does this start on monday with opening arguments? >> well, thanks for having me on. will, i'll tell you the thing, when i went into the courtroom when, you know, you're first approaching that jury, sometimes the initial words you use, they feel like it's the most pivotal moment and you hope as an attorney the you can just persuade them right at the beginning to see the case your way. what you're doing is hoping tata you're planting some seeds. but it's really going to come down to what is their perspective of the defendant in this case, donald trump. and what is the perspective on how well the prosecution is going to match up the facts with the actions of mr. trump can and then to assess whether or not the law really prohibits what the prosecution is alleging. it's a really intimidating moment for an attorney, but once it starts rolling, you'll start to see that jurors will start to get more comfortable if their role. the prosecutor and the defense
6:40 am
attorney will start to develop, you know, hopefully a rapport with the jury. this case, though, is not like any other. it is as intense and we've seen all the emotion and drama around it. and it is equally more difficult if you don't have the facts and the law isn't on your side. and that's what this prosecutor really is going to be battling in that courtroom. will: yeah, but i can marge i can envision the prosecutor's opening argument. i can almost are hear it before it's made, you know in it'll be highly emotional, nobody's above the law, these types of things but i am curious, so most of the things we have talked about appropriately has to do with the application of the law to this situation and how that's unjust. what will be are the message from donald trump's attorneys in opening argument? what will they be asking -- how will they be asking the jury to situate their mind? >> if i'm in their shoes, a i'm telling the jury right now that reasonable doubt is actually
6:41 am
where this case begins, and it only gets worse for the prosecution. and let me give you the two most important pieces of evidence. you have the statement, the written and signed statement by stormy daniels. very powerful. indicates that the payment was not if in relation to some extramarital affair. you have that, that she has not backed away from from. that's a piece of evidence that immediately puts reasonable doubt in terms of what the purpose of the funds were. and then the second letter is michael cohen, their -- clearly, their most important, their most important witness, has anticipated very clearly that he paid with his own money, that this was not instigated by donald trump. and those two pieces of evidence of, will, that is the very heartland of reasonable doubt in a case like this. and so if i'm the defense attorney, i stand up, i point out that's what they're going to see, and i'm going to tell them that it's going to get worse

>> good day. i'm from australia. i've recently arrived with my family. we started a lawn care and house cleaning business with, wondering if we could be of service. nicole: that was a sneak peek of the film unsung hero which premieres friday. will: the film was based on the true story of an australian family who moved to the u.s. hoping for a bright with future, ultimately leading to two of christian music's biggest acts. pete: here to talk about their story in which the film is based is christian pop duo for king and country, joel and luke smallbone, and they join us now. gentlemen, thanks so much for being here. first of all, full disclosure, i had a chance to go to the premiere in nashville and and see this film, and it is phenomenal. everyone needs to check it out. joel, i have to give you a big shoutout, you played your father in this film and did a great job. share a little bit of why did you make this film about what your family went through? >> yeah. well, first of all, good morning
6:51 am
from good old nashville, tennessee, y'all. [laughter] here we are. and, yes, as you said, pete, i play our dad in the film. i've dubbed it a very expensive therapy session, if you will, but a or worthy one. luke and i were very young when we moved to the states, but it's this contrast of the story where you have a mum, six kids, one on the way. her husband had lost everything in australia, migrating across the planet with a job opportunity and a dream. and then when we a arrived, lost everything. and we had to band together, rake leaves, mow lawns, no insurance, and it was the local community, it was the local church. and it was really banding together as a family that allowed us to really step into a new life, ten into the american dream in some ways. and so lionsgate is putting this in theaters all over the country. i'm told that this is the

largest theatrical release for faith-based film ever. so we're excited to -- we dubbed it family day, pete. you've got mother's day, father's day, 26 is family day in america. nicole: it's such a great story about leaning on your faith and, as you said, the american dream. what made you decide to make the movie? >> yeah, look, i believe in the power of family. i think that a family is more important today than it ever has been in the history of the world. we don't necessarily value it the way that we should. and i'm just a big believer in the fact that i think the stories, you know, like these -- i've told this story at virtually every king and country performance for the last 11 or 12 years. we had so many people come up and say there's something about this story, it's a really powerful story, you know, you guys should write a book. the is joel and or -- can were home schooled, so we don't read and write very well. so mother teresa had this great quote where i think the blueprint of what we're talking about, she said if you want to
6:53 am
change the world, go home if love your family. and i think that we need these stories around. i think people need to see themselves, their families in stories like this on the silver screen. nicole: what a great message. will: joel mentioned the church when you moved to the u.s., helping pick up the family. here's a little bit that highlights that from the movie, unsun hero. >> do you know anything about the home school tutorialsome. >> oh, yeah, yeah. we've got two girls, and they just love it. >> are y'all thinking of joining us? >> yeah. if there's space. i mean, there are a few of us though. >> you don't say.

dad, this is my mum, but i had to kiss my mum. it's trippy. will: i was also thinking there you are encountering those guys with those southern accent, i don't know how old you are, but you've conclude on to that australian accent. >> we'll hold on to the it for life. pete: it was cool to see the whole family on stage and your father david, just what he went through, what you all went through and to share that lesson, the american dream through faith, it was the church and faith that delivered you here. the film is unsung hero. the web site is unsung hero.movie. go check it out. if it's the biggest faith film ever, let's make it a hit. check it out. unsung hero by king and country. thank you, guys. appreciate your time. >> appreciate you. pete: you got it. will: for "fox & friends" moments away. or more - can be overwhelming. so, ask your doctor about botox®. botox® prevents headaches in adults with chronic migraine
