00:00From the North Lawn now, Alexandria Hoff picks up that story.
00:03Brand new hour begins there.
00:04Alex, hello.
00:05Hi.
00:06Hello, Bill.
00:07The core question in this case is can a president deport alleged criminal migrants without due
00:11process and deeming them terrorists and then by so then utilizing an 18th century provision.
00:19Now the judge is going to be weighing that, but today these questions that he is asking
00:22the government to respond to by noon today, those are really expanding upon the details
00:26of those flight times, providing additional information about the 261 individuals who
00:31were sent out of the country this weekend.
00:33Judge James Boasberg wrote yesterday, quote, the court seeks this information not as a
00:37micromanaged and unnecessary judicial fishing expedition, but to determine if the government
00:42deliberately flouted its orders issued on March 15th and if so, what the consequences
00:46should be.
00:47The government argues that no order was defied because the two flights containing alleged
00:52gang members left after the written orders to halt deportation.
00:56Judge Boasberg is allowing the DOJ to invoke the state secrets doctrine designed to protect
01:01national security for any questions that officials are unwilling to answer, but they must explain
01:06why.
01:07Here's Attorney General Pam Bondi.
01:09This judge has no right to ask those questions.
01:12You have one unelected federal judge trying to control foreign policies, trying to control
01:20the Alien Enemies Act, which they have no business presiding over.
01:25The White House believes the judge is intentionally getting in the way of the president's foreign
01:29policy.
01:30We will continue to use the full weight of the White House Counsel's Office and the president's
01:36team of lawyers to fight this in court because we know we will win even if we have to go
01:40all the way to the Supreme Court.
01:42So all the answers to these questions are due at noon today.
01:44A hearing will take place tomorrow, Bill.
01:46Okay, Alex, thanks.
01:47That's Andre Hoff on the North Lawn there at the White House.
01:52When you're a judge, Judge 101, you don't just sit at the bench and say, you know, you
01:57ought to stop doing this and stop doing that.
01:59It doesn't necessarily get to everybody, certainly not in a timely way.
02:02It's only been the custom, practice and tradition in that courtroom for at least 23 years when
02:08I litigated this case, which is put your damn order in writing, judge.
02:12Well, that was something else.
02:14Mark Levin with Martha yesterday afternoon.
02:16President Trump's blitz of legal battles now becoming a defining point of his second term,
02:21the A.G.
02:22Pambondi blasting the lawfare.
02:23She accuses the, quote, activist judges of trying to control the government.
02:27David Spott's got the follow up, DOJ again today.
02:30David.
02:31Hello, Bill.
02:32Good morning.
02:33DOJ officials here, at least the ones that work for the attorney general, deputy attorney
02:37general, are angry.
02:38You can feel a palpable sense of anger here against some of these judges because they
02:43believe that these judges are not just hindering President Trump's political agenda.
02:47They believe that these judges are hindering public safety.
02:50That's where the delineation is right there.
02:53And DOJ and the White House are lockstep on this one.
02:56Stephen Miller, a senior advisor to the president, put out this on X yesterday.
03:01He said currently district court judges have assumed the mantle of secretary of defense,
03:05secretary of state, secretary of Homeland Security and commander in chief.
03:09Each day they change the foreign policy, economic staffing and national security policies
03:14of the administration.
03:15The current focus, as Alex just mentioned, Judge Boasberg, who ordered these planes to
03:20turn around on their way to El Salvador.
03:23They made it to the country.
03:24They're in jail there.
03:25The administration says, quite frankly, they are terrorists.
03:28And these injunctions by judges are harming public safety.
03:31Now, the Supreme Court is likely on tap for these cases, Bill, because of the disagreements
03:37and because there are so many cases that are flooding the zone.
03:41Likely, we will see some head to the Supreme Court.
03:44The justices have been busy since January 20th, getting involved with Trump administration
03:48changes throughout the government.
03:50The former Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer yesterday rejected, though, President Trump's
03:54calls to impeach Judge Boasberg.
03:58It doesn't work by impeaching a judge because you don't like his decision.
04:04The Supreme Court has been busy with some of these cases and will continue to be likely
04:08just because of the sheer number of cases that are making their way through the lower
04:12court system.
04:13And the administration, DOJ, AG Bondi, they say they're ready to go to the Supreme Court
04:18on all of them.
04:19Bill.
04:20OK, we'll see which one gets there first.
04:22David, thank you.
04:23David Spott, Department of Justice.
04:25You are not fighting.
04:27We are on the front lines and you are talking about 2026.
04:32Democrats should win in 2026.
04:34But those Democrats may need to be the people who beat incumbents in primaries for being
04:39too passive.
04:40Now, I'm going to answer this question.
04:41I'm going to answer this question.
04:42You're not going to get me upset.
04:48Where is your fight?
04:50They are fired up.
04:51And Democrats have been faced with these angry voters in raucous town halls where they were
04:56hoping to gain support.
05:00Instead, Democrats are fighting each other a lot lately, unable to agree on how to respond
05:07to President Trump, who is going gangbusters through a lot of the things that he promised
05:12on the campaign trail.
05:13Jessica Tarloff, co-host of The Five, Lauren Tomlinson, former deputy assistant of public
05:18affairs at the Department of Homeland Security.
05:21Lauren and Jess, great to have you here.
05:22Just let me start with you.
05:23When you see those people at that town hall, really passionate, screaming, we want you
05:29to fight.
05:31What goes through your mind?
05:33That you should listen to your constituents.
05:36And that doesn't mean that you have to reduce decorum in something like a joint session,
05:41for instance, but that you need to show that you have some backbone in this.
05:44And I thought there had been a slew of polls out recently.
05:47But the most interesting finding for me as a Democrat was in the NBC poll where it said
05:51that now 65% of Democratic voters want Democrats to stick to their positions, even if it means
05:57that nothing gets done in Washington.
05:59That's a complete reversal from how it was during Trump's first term, where they wanted
06:03them to find ways to work together.
06:05And I feel like people, we came into this administration thinking, OK, a lot of moderate
06:09Dems were elected.
06:10We actually overperformed, right?
06:12And there's a mandate for Trump, and there's a mandate also for us to be able to do this.
06:16We should work together on these things.
06:17And you see what the Trump administration has been doing.
06:20And it's shocked the Democratic base.
06:22It's moving so quickly.
06:24It's so opposed to the things that we wanted to accomplish.
06:27And they are reflecting, these people in these town halls, how the party feels.
06:31And Schumer is completely out of step with that.
06:33Are they really?
06:34Or are they reflecting, you know, a more progressive mentality?
06:38Because it seems like a lot of people in the country are OK with the direction that things
06:44are going.
06:45Well, listen, Trump's approval rating has come down from where it was.
06:48He's underwater on the economy, on handling inflation.
06:51Seventy-one percent think that we're going into a recession.
06:53These are all from our Fox News poll that came out yesterday.
06:56That's what voters put him in for.
06:58The only color of the matter in the election, I heard it over and over, is green.
07:02And the green vote is not looking that good, not the climate green vote, the money green
07:06vote.
07:07So I do believe that anchor is real.
07:08People know that there are going to be billions of dollars of tax cuts for the wealthiest
07:12people, and they're going to cut your Medicaid trillions if you go over the course of the
07:16year.
07:17They're not going to do either one of those things.
07:19But there's no other money that they can take from us.
07:22Trump says they're firing at the wrong targets entirely.
07:25Go ahead.
07:26Yeah, I think what the Democrats are missing is and I think, you know, your point about
07:28the moderates overperforming actually definitely supports this.
07:32It was the working class voters that decided this election and gave Trump the mandate.
07:36And that is where the Democrats are missing the point.
07:40And these town halls, these are the base.
07:42These are the progressive base that are showing up at town halls.
07:44They're very politically active voters that are making their voice heard.
07:49It is not the people who decided this election.
07:51It is not all of the different counties that we saw shift to the right where he overperformed
07:55with Hispanics, with Asians, with nonwhite voters, increased those margins drastically.
08:00And so the message that Democrats are missing is that working class message of if we're
08:05going to can't fight Trump on these things, they need to really spend some time and reevaluate
08:10what they stand for because it can't be anti-Trump.
08:13It has to be pro worker.
08:14It has to be restoring the industrial base in this country.
08:18And some of these things that we have talked about for decades.
08:22So on that point, if I could just play number two, guys, this is the case that Trump makes
08:26with Laura Ingraham just the other night, starting with Mohammed Khalil about picking
08:30the wrong targets.
08:31Watch it.
08:32Well, Khalil is not exactly an easy one either because some judge glommed on to him.
08:39But the Democrats lost big because of the stupidity of, you know, they're backing these
08:4390 percent negative things from their standpoint, men and women's sports, transgender for everybody.
08:52They're still fighting for it.
08:53But now they have a new one.
08:55We're going to back murderers, killers and people that hate our country.
09:00I think that might be 100 percent issue for us.
09:03I'll get you the answer on that, ladies and second year congressional Democrats job approval
09:06right now.
09:07We're 66 percent.
09:09That might be a new low.
09:10I don't know.
09:11But some of the other polling have them at an all time low.
09:13Jessica, go.
09:14Yeah, it's not great.
09:15We just lost an election.
09:16And this is happening.
09:17If you think back to what happened after Mitt Romney lost in 2012, took the Republicans
09:22a while to figure it out.
09:23They thought they figured it out.
09:24And then Donald Trump won in 2016.
09:26So I'm not freaking out about this.
09:28I don't think there's no way to recover from it.
09:31You're correct.
09:32Of course, the working class base needs this.
09:33But also, when you look at the impact that these tariffs are going to have and a majority
09:38of them.
09:39What about what he's saying?
09:40I mean, do you think most of the American public is wishing that those Trender Agua
09:45members on that plane had been turned around and brought back?
09:49This is and yesterday we were talking about it on the five and I said, I'm just going
09:52to take the L on this because my argument I've been doing two days of saying, what about
09:57due process?
09:58Because there were people on that flight who are not gang members.
10:01And I was talking and I was talking to Americans that have been detained, like in Chicago.
10:05And people are saying the direction of this policy is what I'm comfortable with.
10:10The only thing he's doing well on, actually, is immigration is a fifty five percent approval
10:13rating.
10:14The thing on this, though, Lauren, last word on this, too, by the way, is we don't know
10:18how many were deported that flew in under the Biden app.
10:23We don't know if they walked across the border, if they drove across the border, if they flew
10:29here.
10:30Well, I don't know.
10:31It's important to know that while not all of them may be gang members, the point is,
10:35is that we don't know that they're not gang members.
10:38And there is, you know, they're illegal.
10:40We know that they're illegal.
10:42And the point I was about to make was with the vetting system.
10:46After 9-11, we wanted to put in place strong vetting systems.
10:49So we knew exactly who was coming into this country for security reasons.
10:52If they come in illegally, we don't do those background checks, right?
10:55You don't go through the normal process.
10:56So the fact that they are here and we don't know those things presents its own security
11:00risk.
11:01Not to mention that there was indicators that they could be affiliated with this gang or
11:04they most likely were.
11:05Can I just say quickly that they need to be honest, then, that we don't have an asylum
11:09system anymore, because there are people whose lawyers have been very clear that they came
11:14in, they registered at a port of entry, they were waiting for their days in court, and
11:17then they got put on this flight.
11:18People at a legitimate asylum.
11:19OK, two things here.
11:21Noon deadline today from the judge and just reading here off of Reuters, Trump's going
11:25to give remarks at 1040.
11:26So that's what?
11:27Thirty minutes away.
11:28What that on?
11:29It doesn't say.
11:30But stand by.
11:31We'll get that to you.
11:32I think we know what he's going to say.
11:34The bad guys.
11:35We shall see.
11:3613 past.
11:37Here we go.
11:38Back to the other night.
11:39Watch.
11:40If it wasn't for me, they wouldn't be talking peace in Ukraine and Russia because they're
11:43not Americans being killed.
11:44They're Ukrainian soldiers and Russian soldiers.
11:47And I'm trying to make peace.
11:48More telephone diplomacy.
11:50President Trump talking to Ukraine's President Zelensky coming after a long conversation
11:54with Putin.
11:55Can true peace be at hand?
11:57We can only hope.
11:58Plus, the president striking another blow in order to protect women's sports, hitting
12:02the University of Pennsylvania hard in the pocketbook.
12:07Will these colleges get the message?
12:10We're going to talk to former Penn swimmer Paula Scanlon.
12:13Also, you get a rise in attacks targeting Tesla is being called domestic terrorism and
12:18getting a lot of attention now from the feds.
12:22We are coming after you.
12:24We believe these are organized years and these are not individuals out there throughout
12:27the country doing this on their own.
12:29We're going to find you to you better look out and you better stop it.
12:36The economy is strong overall and has made significant progress toward our goals over
12:40the past two years.
12:42Labor market conditions are solid and inflation has moved closer to our 2 percent longer run
12:47goal.
12:48So it remains somewhat elevated.
12:51Markets responded pretty well to that.
12:53Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell speaking yesterday after announcing the decision to
12:57hold interest rates steady for now amid some economic uncertainty.
13:02The central bank did indicate that the two rate cut that two more rate cuts could come
13:07in 2025.
13:08It's been part of their plan.
13:10It comes as a Fox News poll shows 47 percent of Americans say that inflation is, quote,
13:16not at all under control.
13:18That's down from 56 percent in January of 2023.
13:21During the Biden administration, the last time that that question was asked.
13:26About 20 minutes past the hour now, a continued crackdown for the administration to protect
13:31women's sports.
13:33White House is freezing one hundred seventy five million dollars in funding for the University
13:38of Pennsylvania over its transgender athlete policies.
13:41But after some time now, former UPenn swimmer Paula Scanlon is back with us in studio.
13:46Good morning to you.
13:47You've been out of school, what, two years now, I think.
13:49Almost three now.
13:51Welcome back to New York.
13:52Leah Thomas, a big story there.
13:54This is Peyton McNabb, a volleyball player.
13:56She's been out there a lot.
13:59She got drilled by a transgender male playing in against her.
14:03Watch here.
14:05I think the Trump administration gave the University of Pennsylvania a dose of reality.
14:10There are consequences for violating the law.
14:12And when you violate Title nine, you're going to lose money.
14:14No school is above the law.
14:16And for everything they've put these girls through, this is what they deserve.
14:19What do you think they deserve?
14:20I mean, I think they deserve a lot worse.
14:22The endowment of the University of Pennsylvania is over twenty two billion dollars.
14:26So one hundred seventy five million dollars is only going to be a small little hit.
14:29And honestly, ideally, I would like to see them have to lose full departments.
14:32I mean, we have people trying to teach gender studies and other useless majors and none
14:38of those departments are going to be cut with only losing one hundred seventy five million
14:40dollars.
14:41They get five hundred and eighty two million total in federal funding.
14:46So this is a piece of that.
14:47I mean, it's a lot farther than we saw them going in the last administration.
14:52That's for sure.
14:53Here's what Penn said about it.
14:54Penn has always followed NCAA and Ivy League policies regarding student participation on
14:58athletic teams.
15:00We have been in the past and remain today in full compliance with the regulations that
15:04apply not only to Penn, but NCAA and Ivy League peer institutions.
15:09What do you say to that?
15:10I mean, it was true they were following the rules back then.
15:14But I think what we saw is that no one wanted to stand up and do the right thing.
15:17The University of Pennsylvania.
15:18Yes.
15:19Well, the NCAA policy did allow Leah Thomas to compete.
15:21They could have done something to protect their female athletes.
15:23And what they did instead was they came in, brought us and told us we needed psychological
15:27services.
15:28They told us we needed to see counselors.
15:29They called us racist.
15:30They call us bigoted.
15:32And they nominated Leah Thomas for NCAA woman of the year, taking that away from a real
15:36woman who would have been worthy of the nomination.
15:38So the University of Pennsylvania, they did nothing to protect their female athletes.
15:42And again, I am so grateful to Trump for taking this step.
15:45But this is not enough.
15:47And I would love to see more institutions also lose.
15:49Such as what?
15:51More institutions.
15:52I mean, other Ivy League schools that have pushed this ideology.
15:53I know that Harvard, Yale, Columbia, I mean, did lose some of their funding for some of
15:57their other beliefs.
15:59And I think that, again, we need to see more of this.
16:01And I think there's more campuses, not just even the Ivy Leagues, that are doing this.
16:05And I would love to see them continue to crack down on these higher education institutions
16:10because they are the problem here.
16:12Yeah.
16:13I mean, it's interesting.
16:14You can run your university any way you want, but you can't guarantee federal funding if
16:18you are not going to comply with the rules.
16:22Absolutely.
16:23And I think the biggest thing I'm seeing here is the problem is these colleges.
16:28The college campuses are the issues here.
16:30They are bringing students in and they're being brainwashed.
16:32I mean, I know this firsthand.
16:33I have friends that I knew in high school that were normal people with normal beliefs.
16:37And they came back believing wild, radical ideologies from things they were taught on
16:41their college campus.
16:42And again, it doesn't matter if it's an Ivy League school, even some state schools or
16:46a lot of the private liberal arts colleges, especially here in the Northeast.
16:49They're problematic and they're pushing this ideology and they're trying to tell you radical
16:54things like men can be women and women can be men.
16:56Your friends who converted, let's say, in their minds, have they gone back to where
17:02they were?
17:03No, that's the worst.
17:04They don't come back from it.
17:05And again, some of the things they believe are really radical, like they are tweeting
17:10about the land being stolen of the college campus and saying the Native American tribes.
17:14I mean, they have people saying things like everybody shouldn't exist anymore because
17:17the climate is so bad.
17:19I mean, there are things that they're being taught on these college campuses.
17:22I don't think people fully understand, and especially even people like you guys that
17:25are older, that have graduated already.
17:27I don't think you realize how quickly things have turned around.
17:29Yeah.
17:30Yeah, we graduated a little while ago.
17:33A little bit, huh?
17:34Thank you, Paula.
17:35Good to see you, Paula.
17:36Good to see you guys.
17:37So well put.
17:38Thanks, Paula.
17:40The minute the Houthis say, we'll stop shooting at your ships, we'll stop shooting at your
17:44drones, this campaign will end.
17:46But until then, it will be unrelenting.
17:50Stark warning from the Trump administration to Iran-backed Houthis, how they are threatening
17:55to ramp up attacks on the rebel group.
18:00Plus potential new evidence in the case against Brian Koberger, what it could mean for the
18:05prosecution's case.
18:07Good morning.
18:08Crackdown Against Hate continues.
18:09Federal immigration agents arresting a researcher at Georgetown University, accusing him of
18:15having close connections to the Iranian-backed terror group Hamas.
18:19Where this case goes, we wait to see.
18:21Mark Meredith is got it.
18:22They're live in Washington, D.C.
18:24Good morning, Mark.
18:25Bill, good morning to you.
18:26This story breaking overnight.
18:27The Trump administration accusing a Georgetown University researcher of spreading propaganda
18:32with Hamas and having ties to a suspected terrorist.
18:35The university tells Fox he doesn't know about any illegal activity, and lawyers for the
18:38man say he's being unfairly punished.
18:41Badar Khan Suri is an Indian national and a postdoctoral fellow at Georgetown School
18:45of Service.
18:46He is in the United States on a student visa.
18:49Reports say he was arrested Monday in Roslyn, Virginia.
18:52We checked overnight.
18:53It shows him now being held at an ICE detention facility in Louisiana.
18:57A spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security says Suri has close connections to
19:02a known or suspected terrorist who is a senior adviser to Hamas.
19:06Secretary Rubio issued a determination this month that his activities and presence in
19:10the U.S. rendered him deportable.
19:12Now, the university says Suri is studying peacebuilding in Iraq and Afghanistan and
19:16that it's closely watching what's happening.
19:18They sent us a statement overnight saying, we support our community members' rights
19:22to free and open inquiry, deliberation and debate.
19:25Even if the underlying ideas may be difficult, controversial or objectionable, we expect
19:30the legal system to adjudicate this case fairly.
19:34Federal officials are ramping up arrests and detention of some foreign students in the
19:37U.S. who the government argues are violating their terms of their student visas.
19:42Suri's arrest is notable because we've seen that crackdown at other universities, Columbia
19:45getting a lot of attention, Bill, and that student also still in federal custody also
19:49in Louisiana.
19:50All right, Mark.
19:51Let us know how it goes.
19:52Thank you, sir.
19:53Mark Meredith in Washington, D.C.
19:55As President Trump has said repeatedly, the precious lives and money that both Ukraine
20:00and Russia have been spending in this war would be better spent on the needs of their
20:04people.
20:05This terrible conflict would have never started with President Trump in charge, but he's determined
20:10to end it once and for all.
20:13So next steps in this process.
20:15President Trump has now spoken on the phone with Vladimir Putin, and he has also yesterday
20:21spoke with Ukrainian President Zelensky.
20:24Describing their conversation as, quote, very good as he continues to push for peace.
20:28Joining us now, retired General Jack Keane, Fox News senior strategic analyst general.
20:34Always good to have you with us.
20:36This is what the Zelensky what Zelensky said about the phone call.
20:41President Trump shared details of his conversation with Putin and the key issues discussed.
20:46One of the first steps toward fully ending the war could be ending strikes on energy
20:50and other civilian infrastructure.
20:52I support this step, and Ukraine confirmed that we are ready to implement it.
20:56We've seen some missiles go back and forth since those discussions.
21:01What's your assessment, General, of where we are here?
21:04Well, I think we've got to be encouraged that there really is a peace process and it's going
21:11forward.
21:12And certainly the president called on Zelensky, giving him that feedback with Putin's conversation.
21:17And you know, Zelensky asked for some Patriot air defense systems, and the president said
21:22he would take it on and see what he could get for him.
21:25And also, the president offered taking over Zelensky's nuclear power plants.
21:32And Zelensky's got that under consideration.
21:34They discussed the prisoner exchange.
21:36And also, the president brought up the issue that's a very painful issue for the Ukrainian
21:41people is the kidnapping of thousands of their children that are now in Russia.
21:47So this process is moving forward.
21:49Listen, Putin turned down the 30-day ceasefire, unconditional, which Zelensky had already
21:57accepted.
21:58They obviously have both accepted a ceasefire on energy targets.
22:01And believe me, this is not just about the targets inside of Ukraine, Martha.
22:07The fact is that Ukraine has been hitting oil refineries in Russia for months.
22:13And Russia is as interested in that stopping as Ukraine is interested in the bombing that's
22:19taking place on their infrastructure.
22:21But yeah, there is a process, Martha.
22:23And listen, we all have a healthy dose of skepticism dealing with Putin.
22:28He talks nice and he plays hard.
22:30But what's taking place is jitter.
22:32We've got to be encouraged by it.
22:33A negotiating team dealing with the Russians, another negotiating team in a separate room
22:37dealing with Ukrainians.
22:39They're both putting their issues on the table.
22:42Our negotiating teams will try to resolve those issues.
22:44That is a peace process.
22:46And the fact that it's taken place is a positive thing.
22:50What truly happens as a result of it obviously remains to be seen.
22:54Yeah.
22:55Interesting.
22:56The decision to potentially take over Zaporizhzhya, the nuclear facilities in Ukraine, have the
23:02U.S. manage those.
23:03Obviously, that puts the United States on the ground in a sense in Ukraine with interest.
23:07I want to get one more question in to you, General, if I may.
23:11This is from Axios.
23:12This is number three.
23:14About a two month deadline for a nuclear deal with Iran, it isn't clear whether the two
23:19month clock starts from the time the letter was delivered or from when the negotiations
23:23start.
23:24But if Iran rejects Trump's outreach and doesn't negotiate, the chances of U.S. or Israeli
23:29military action against Iran's nuclear facilities will dramatically increase.
23:33Your take on that, sir?
23:34Yeah, well, it remains to be seen what Iran is going to do here, obviously.
23:40I mean, they're really good at stalling, delaying, and cheating.
23:45This is the history dealing with Iran.
23:47That's why Prime Minister Netanyahu would much rather do the nuclear enterprise strike
23:52sooner rather than later.
23:54The president is going to take this diplomatic effort I call a coercive diplomacy.
23:59He's telling Iran if you don't take the deal, then the consequences are going to be severe.
24:04And that means an Israeli-led, U.S.-supported strike.
24:09I mean, listen, if there is going to be a dismantling of the nuclear enterprise, and
24:14that's what this has got to be all about, voluntarily dismantling it, verification by
24:19independent inspectors, even beyond the IAEA, who normally does this inspection, to make
24:25certain that's happening.
24:26I think all of us who've seen Iran for 44 years know that they don't want to give up
24:31their nuclear enterprise and it will likely wind up being forced as opposed to them voluntarily
24:37dismantling it.
24:38It remains to be seen, certainly.
24:41And they're in a moment when their defenses are lower than they have historically been
24:45around some of those facilities.
24:47General Keene, thank you very much.
24:49Good to have you with us, as always.
24:53Interesting stuff there.
24:54All right, Alec Baldwin's wife singing Red on the Red Carpet.
24:58Like that, huh?
24:59See that?
25:00Ouch.
25:01That's today's Hemmer Celebrity News.
25:02Hilaria.
25:03Hilaria?
25:04Hilaria?
25:05I don't know.
25:06Hilaria?
25:07Hilaria?
25:08Hilaria Baldwin caught on camera snapping at her husband, putting the award winner in
25:12his place after, what do you call it, manter-rupting?
25:16Apparently.
25:17Is that a word?
25:18Apparently that's a word.
25:19Let's just roll it and then we'll decide ourselves.
25:22Check it out.
25:23You're a winner.
25:24Oh, my God.
25:25When I'm talking, you're not talking.
25:26Oh, sorry.
25:27No, when I'm talking, you're not talking.
25:28This is why, yes.
25:29We'll have to, like, just cut him out of the show.
25:30I'm just captivated by you.
25:31Yeah, you're just distracting me.
25:32You're so beautiful.
25:33Oh, my God.
25:34Stop.
25:35After the clip went viral, the couple posted a video joking about it, saying, oh, there
25:40we go, inside the Baldwin home, saying they interrupt each other all the time, right?
25:47I will take note, Ms. Martha, although I don't know much about celebrities or the news that
25:52celebrities make.
25:53They are in the middle of a reality TV show.
25:55Yeah.
25:56Right?
25:57That is out there.
25:58You are, yeah, Bill.
25:59Maybe a clip or two.
26:00Yeah.
26:01You think this was just promo for the reality TV show?
26:03I don't know.
26:04I don't know.
26:05I don't know.
26:06She looked she looked pretty annoyed to me.
26:07He looked pretty scolded.
26:08You would not say that to Dan.
26:10I don't know.
26:11All right.
26:12So coming up, the backlash against Kekla pretty violent.
26:16So why are Democrats biting their tongues?
26:18Hugh Hewitt is here to discuss.
26:21Also the Democratic mayor of Boston using her state of the city address to take repeated
26:25swipes at President Trump.
26:28God bless our city.
26:30God bless our people.
26:32And God save whoever messes with Boston.
26:39In the Brian Koberger trial, prosecutors plan to introduce a selfie into evidence.
26:45It was taken just hours after they say that he murdered four University of Idaho students
26:51in their off campus home.
26:52Dan Springer has the very latest on this photo and what it could mean for the case.
26:57Hi, Dan.
26:58Yeah.
26:59Hey, Martha.
27:00This is a shot of a large dump of court documents late yesterday afternoon is absolutely devastating
27:04for Brian Koberger.
27:06It shows that he had purchased a knife on Amazon that police say was likely the murder
27:10weapon and a knife sheath that matches exactly the sheath left at the murder scene with his
27:16DNA on the snap.
27:18This is a stock photo of a K-Bar knife and sheath with United States Marine Corps logo
27:23on it.
27:24Now we've learned that Koberger bought a knife and sheath just like this in late March of
27:282022, eight months before the murders in Idaho.
27:32Koberger's defense wants to exclude from trial his Amazon click history around the time of
27:37the knife purchase and right after the murders, saying that it's irrelevant.
27:42But the state in its rebuttal this week said, quote, applying the test of relevancy first,
27:47Koberger's click activity, which shows a purchase of a K-Bar knife and a sheath before the homicides
27:53makes it more probable that the K-Bar sheath found at the crime scene was Brian Koberger's.
28:00In another filing, prosecutors released this selfie, this selfie of Koberger taken on his
28:07phone at 1031 on the morning of the murders.
28:10The point is to show that his eyebrows, which one of the surviving roommates repeatedly
28:15described as bushy.
28:17The defense is trying to get the term bushy eyebrows out of the trial.
28:21That motion and others will be argued at a hearing next month.
28:25Back to you, Martha.
28:26A lot of important stuff there, Dan.
28:29Thank you very much.
28:30We have charged multiple people.
28:34Get ready.
28:35More coming.
28:36They're targeting Tesla owners.
28:37They're targeting Tesla dealerships.
28:39They're targeting Elon Musk, who is out there trying to save our country.
28:42And it will not be tolerated.
28:44We are coming after you.
28:45We will find you.
28:47And if you are an organized group who is funding this, we're going to find you too.
28:51That's the A.G.
28:52Pambandi on the case now cracking down on these Tesla attackers.
28:55She calls it domestic terrorism after attacks against the Tesla leader, Elon Musk, over
29:00his ties with the Trump team.
29:01Hugh, it's now Hugh.
29:03Good morning to you.
29:04And thank you for coming back.
29:05Elon was on with Sean the other night.
29:07First name basis only here.
29:09Hugh, Sean, Elon.
29:10All right.
29:11This is how he interpreted the targets on Tesla.
29:15I always thought the left Democrats were supposed to be the party of empathy, the party of
29:21caring.
29:22And yet they're burning down cars, they're firebombing dealerships, they're firing bullets
29:28into dealerships.
29:29They're just, you know, smashing up Teslas.
29:33Tesla is a peaceful company.
29:34We've never done anything awful.
29:35Hugh, what do you think?
