[laughter] will: we'll be sorting that out over the next couple of hours. we begin with this, day 11 of former president trump's new york trial is now over. rachel: and his former aide got very emotional on the stand while calling out michael colisten. pete: chanley painter joins us with the latest. >> reporter: it was a dramatic conclusion to week three already in trump'sen manhattan trial,

and former trump aide, advisor hope hicks appeared to become emotional. hicks was trump's 2016 campaign press secretary. she went on to to serve as his white house communications director. and on friday she spent about three hours testifying, telling the jury that in the days leading up to the 2k0 16 election -- 2016 when women were coming forward with allegations of affairs, trump's interest in suppressing the story stemmed from his desire to shield his family and in the how the allegations would impact his campaign. the prosecutor yesterday hicks on the stand the about meeting david pecker, hicks said she did not recall participating in a meeting where pecker promised to help the trump campaign. hicks also said trump's former lawyer, michael cohen, injected helps into campaign activities when he was instructed only to focus on trump's business credentials. hicks claimed cohen liked to call himself mr. fix-it but he

only fixed things after breaking them first. also trump paid $9,000 worth of fines after the judge ruled he violated the gag order multiple times, even threatening jail time if he willfully violates it again, so yesterday trump focused on politics. watch. >> -- years, the democrats, the radical left, navy been after us for -- they've been after us for years, and they've been screwing people's lives. they've gone out and hired lawyers for years. been sucked dry. and it's a shame. it's a shame, what they've done to this country. >> reporter: trump's unprecedented trial, guys, resigns monday morning -- resumes monday morning, 9:30 a.m., a new prosecution witness on the stand. pete: appreciate it. it is amazing, the prosecution keeps bringing witnesses that are supporting donald trump. [laughter] rachel: i know. pete: shows you how weak their case really is. in this case, hope hicks didn't reveal anything that was damaging to the president.

avenue iowa not. of. pete: she was there when a lot of -- rachel: i think in many ways it humanized him. yeah, he was in trouble with stormy daniels and this affair, and his thoughts were i don't want to embarrass with my family. i think a lot of people could relate the that. we've all known people like that this, you know, those fixer type of people that a break things, they're the ones that mess it up, and then they come in and act like they're the saviors who with fix it, but they broke it to begin with. when she said that and this jury knows michael cohen, i think it resonated and, apparently, they all laughed and said, had a chuckle over that. will: well, it just humanized donald trump, it actually, as you pointed out, pete, it really blew a hole in the prosecution, and here's why. you'll remember that the underlying charges are misdemeanors who exceeded their statute of limitations. the only way to make this thing see the light of day in a courtroom was to charge them up to felonies. in order for them to be felon nebraskas, they had to be election law violations. the election law allegation is

trump did all this to influence an election -- rachel: right. will: and hope hicks lays out he did this to shield his family from embarrass. gregg jarrett points out exactly how that affects the legal trial of the prosecution. >> this was an epic mess calculation by -- miscalculation by prosecutors, calling hope hicks. it backfired against them because, you're right, she told the jury that trump's motive for suppressing salacious stories like stormy daniels was to protect his wife, not the campaign. well, that demolishes alvin bragg's central the theory that trump's intent was to help his election and, therefore, he violated cam pane laws. well, no, he didn't. and it also happens to corroborate the findings of the feds who said, you know, no crimes were committed or campaign finance laws brokennen. but, you know, it's actually worse than that because bragg claims in the indictment -- which is all important -- that trump falsified business

records. that's absurd. his lawyer negotiated the stormy payments which were legal and booked them the as legal expenses was that's what they are. so even the basis for the criminal charges isn't true which makes this a trial in search of an imaginary crime that a exists nowhere in the law. rachel: i guess the question is, is that going to be enough? gregg jarrett's laid it out really well, but is the jury so biased that they won't -- pete: that is the operative question here. and, you know, even stormy daniels' lawyer was willing -- couldn't say it's a hush money payment. it's not a hush money payment. this was for consideration. which anybody in this -- it was extortion. ing. rachel: yeah. pete: that's the type of job that he did on behalf of other clients as well. jurors start to get this picture, oh, rich man, target of opportunity. he's in a pinch if we push him at this point. okay, this doesn't have anything to do with that.

who knows? maybe it flips some minds. will: i think it's really going to come down to the bias of two potential jurors versus their knowledge of the haw. greg points out -- gregg points out it's an incident in search of a crime. so there's two lawyers sitting on that jury, and they're the two that i'm talking about. does their potential bias of being someone probably on the left who lives in new york city outweigh their understanding of the law. rachel: yeah. there's another crime here. the court artest, how did they manage to make hope hicks look ugly? pete: or old. rachel: she's drop dead gorgeous. that's a crime. [laughter] all right. we're going to move to a fox news alert. more anti-israel protests breaking out as demonstrators face off at the university of chicago. and 100 protesters rallied at georgia state university yesterday. will: officials say the library at portland state university is unusable after it was occupied

by protesters. pete: madeleine rivera join withs now. >> reporter: good morning. 20, 2 -- 2,218 people have been arrested. tents are still the up at the university of chicago. on friday university police dressed in riot gear had to step in and separate pro-palestinian supporters and counterprotesters. in atlanta, protesters at georgia state university had a test but brief interwith action with police who with tried to hold back the group. a library at portland state university will remain closed for months after protesters took over the building. the university's president saying i took a tour of the library, and and it was difficult to see this important dam pus space rendered -- campus space rendered unuserd. we are -- unusable. we are endeavoring to identify of and equip alternatives to paces throughout campus. in new york city police arrested 56 people at new york university and the new school.

the nqpd believes the protesters are getting guidance from somebody. >> there's somebody behind this movement. the level of organization that we're seeing in both these encampments here and at columbia , leaflets on what to do when you get arrested, leaflets on what to say police when they ask you, there is somebody funding this, there is somebody radicalizing our students. >> reporter: "the wall street journal" reports activist groups like the national students for justice in palestine train students for months before the protests, though there isn't a centralized command overseeing the movement. will, pete and ray dell. will: thank you, madeleine. quite a statement there from the nypd, somebody is behind this. someone is organizing it. it's leading the things like -- check out out this leaflet that was at, this was at --

pete: u-penn. will: u-penn. let representation breed with more resistance. we will not disavow any actions taken to escalate the struggle including militant direct actions. our notion of safety in the imperial core is built on centuries of corpses, and this liberal framing of safetyism presents us -- prevents us from winning which is our to palestine. we keep us safe byes calculating, don't hesitate to take more risk. what an instruction to leave behind the liberal language of safetyism and move into the ideology of escalate. rachel: and they're actually also giving them instructions on how to break into buildings. look at this. use the straightener and the crowbar because these kids don't know how to use tools. use the straighter end of the crowbar to pry open windows and doors such as in the hand over hand method. use the slightly angled part as your -- [laughter] pushing it against the window

frame or the door jam. so -- doorjamb. these are kids who never didder chores, obviously. look at that. so they have to give them a really clear guide on how to do this. i'm not going to -- i think we've got to dig into exactly who and what organizations are funding -- what i would say, this is, this is, they're trying to tear apart america. and we ought to know. the fbi ought to be on this. pete: well, will and i have going to be on the case later in the show. we're going to go off the wall on who is behind the protests. iowa iowa does it rhyme with coros? pete: it could. [laughter] we're going to go off the wall at 8:40. who's behind the protests op campus. there is the no doubt that it is paid outside agitators with -- militants. this isn't even rules for radicals stuff. the rules for radicals was be patient, use their leverage against them, do things people enjoy. you know, this is outright

militancy. rachel: do you know why it's escalated to that level? so at the university of chicago, guess who showed up to give aid, support, a little speech? bill ayers. and bill ayers would have been part of that a rules for rad call thes, but now -- radicals but now bill ayers doesn't have to worry about getting on the inside and putting barack obama in place as he did, and sean hannity tried to expose back in 2010. now all his boomer friends, all his radical boomer friends -- pete: now they just get to support terrorists. ray avenue they're in the doj, the fbi. his buddies are in charge. so he can be a domestic terrorist professor at the university of chicago, no problem ally aring and counseling and mentoring the next generation. he can do it right out in the open. mask is off. pete: will,ing i caught on that word safetyism as well because i write about that in my book. the problem of safetyism even inside if our military. so, yes, a lot of these are

wimpey guys, but they're also, like, men or women in search of a purpose, and they don't have one. and so this militancy gives them an identity and somehow it's a terrorist flag -- rachel: on my podcast this path week -- past week, we dug into the fact that that king bald wen, we're going to have you taint, the 12th century jerusalem king, king baldwin, is trending. there is no question that this generation -- he was a teenage king, by the way. these men are searching for something and, sadly, they've globbed on to this. will: we have seep some men who know they stand for the united states of america largely at southern universities, but not exclusively, and there is hope as we see a lo of frat guys, a lot of american-loving can kids finish. rachel: who knew that frat guys were going to save america? if. pete: love it. [laughter] will: fox weather alert, flash flood risks continuing today in texas after excess efrain prompted several areas to

evacuate. rivers rising to levels not seen sense hurricane harvey. some areas saw up to 7 inches of rain within 24 hours. meanwhile, a tornado was spotted in west-central texas yesterday. no damage was immediately reported. a democrat texas congressman, henry cuellar, and his wife indicted on bribery and other charges after the justice department invest investigated their ties to two foreign countries accused of accepting nearly $6000,000 in bribes including from a bank in mexico. they're denying any wrongdoing. and we have plenty of ufl action today including the st. louis battle hawks take on the houston roughnecks. the battle hawks looking to take the top spot in the xfl division while the roughnecks are looking for they are second win of the season. coverage starts at 3 p.m. today only on fox, and those are your headlines. pete: oh, so they have an xfl and a ufl division? will: right. and i was a good boy, i went to

bed -- pete: who ended up winning that mavericks game? will: i had two games that threatened my sleep. pete: i got to halftime of the mavericks'' game. will: you did? pete: i did. will: it tipped off at 9:30. the clippers move to the second round, but the stars lost and it'll be pushed to a game seven against the vegas golden, neithers. pete: dallas stars, hockey team in that's. why does dallas have hockey? no one knows. where did they steal the team from? if minnesota. where we actually like and play hockey, and it was stolen like dallas, and i'll never let you finish. rachel: do people go to the hockey game? will: oh, or yeah. super passionate. it'll be rocking on sunday. pete: it's true. rachel: in the duffy house, we like hockey too. will: an l.a. restaurant saysst it's going to start selling meat. they admitted veganism, which was their push for a while, isn't saving the planet. pete: so the restaurant was a

vegan restaurant -- will: right. pete: and they're saying no more? no m&a s? rachel: the owner ended up -- this is what happened to a lot of people, she ended up buying a farm. and she started to see, well, if you have a farm, death is part of having a farm. you know that very well with animals. it happens. and and so she started to see that. she also a started to see the benefits of meat itself, of regenerative farming, is and she's, like, she said she went through a process too. people are angry at a her, but she went through a process of sort of mourning her vegan ideas having to die. [laughter] here she is, molly engelhart, she's the chef of the sage regenerative kitchen, and here's what she had to say. >> we will be shifting from an all plant-based menu to a high quality protein from only the highest quality, most integrity regenerative farms. pete: so she did get criticism, and here's what she said

defending the change talking to business insider. she said i had also been living under the illusion that any vegetarian or vegan diet did less harm to the world, but there was definitely naivete in my past position. so it wasn't just about the health benefits -- rachel: sure. pete: she was being told that she could save the planet. she's, like, that's not working. that's not true. rachel: and also the understanding that she had having a small farm that a when you have a small farm, you can do things, again, this regenerative farming, no pesticides, you can do it on a small scale. once you get to these large scale industrial farms, then you start introducing chemicals, and it just becomes more feinter to do it in a non-natural way. so her point is the more we sort of, you know,ville nice if -- villainize small farmers, the worse the food's going to be. i think it's an interesting story. also she said during covid a lot of vegan restaurants do well.

so there's system check if upside -- pete: oh, you mean bottom line? if people like me? rachel: yeah. listen, there is no more newt aren't-dense thing you can eat than meat so good for her. all right. we're going to move now to this. today is the kentucky derby and, of course, we always have janice dean live from churchill downs. we're going to be checking in with her all morning long. she looks prettier with every -- every hat is nicer than the last one. it was amazing yesterday. look at this purple beauty. will: looks like it's going to be a mudder. bet on a mudder.

scratch in protest silent,ly to our first amendment right. will: there you go. and sabrina, now to you. i'm curious what the meet immediate reaction was that day at the track and field meet from the officials or the school officials. how did they react to you guys choosing not to compete? >> the person that was talking our -- taking the our, like, marks, he was surprised that we were doing this, and he was, like, what? he was kind of confused. all the other teams started talking about it and whispering amongst themselves about it, and they had figured out that we were doing a silent protest, and they the all respected -- [inaudible] went along with it. will: yeah. and is we can see the outcome, by the way, of the event. the trans-athlete went on to win the event by well over3 feet or, yeah, over 3 feet. closest female athlete, 29 feet, 6 inches to the 32 feet, 9

inches for the trans-athlete. so, jessica, then we find out that the girls are going to be suspended, they're going to not be able to compete in the next event because, i guess, of a blanket rule. this is what the school board had to say, they scratched so they can't compete in the next event. those students, like other students on the team, were subject to a team rule that a any player who scratches in an event cannot participate in that event at the next track meet. they describe it as a neutral, school-specific rule that was in place before the protests and has nothing to do with the protests in my way. the message, jessica, seemed to be, hey, if you don't compete against the trans-athlete, you don't get to compete at all. >> yeah, because it was an unwritten rule. it wasn't she didn't -- the coach didn't contact the west virginia scaa, she didn't can any administration, she just chose the take it upon herself to not allow girls to participate.

however, like i said, it was ap an unwritten strike rule. will: what is -- i'll stay with you real quick, jessica. what is the message you think is being sent here in the way the girls have been treated over their choice to protest? >> unfortunately, i feel like it was because the other party's opinion doesn't reflect what their, what the girl' opinion of the situation was. will: meaning -- what do you mean their opinion differed from that of the girls? >> so i feel like their opinion is more on they're okay with transgender kids who feel like a woman playing against women, although they're not biolodge logically women. will: let me go back to the the girls very quick ally.

pete: rutgers university students in new jersey take on anti-israel campus protesters with their love of country. >> usa! usa! ♪ and the home of the brave ♪ [cheers and applause] pete: you could see him in a portion of that video, ben was the student holding the american flag high, and he joins us now. ben, thanks so much for being here. >> thanks for having me and making the time. pete: thanks for standing up for the country. >> thank you. pete: what brought you to that protest? >> yeah. 9 pretty simply, my friends and i heard what was happening, we were excited that9 rutgers was finally taking some9 sort of action against these protesters who had been sort of shouting to america, death to israel -- pete: there are people disrupting our classes and saying death to america, please do something. >> exactly. so we were pretty happy something was happening and wanted to go see it happen.

pete: so it wasn't, you heard they were finally standing up to these protesters, grabbed a flag. how did so many people show up? did an e-mail go out? >> it wasn't really coordinated. my friends and i sort of came with the flag more just to go. we didn't think much of it at the time. i think people really rallied around it, which was, you know, inspiring to see. but it wasn't coordinated at all. pete: if you see target it is os are something you've seen on campus. >> yeah, unfortunately, it's not new. it's been going on for years. it's definitely amplified now, but just my own experience and my friends' experience, i've had friends who have been called anti-semitic slurs walking around campus, our house has been egged multiple teems. i've watched students walking being pointed at and laughed at, so it's definitely an issue, and it's definitely on the rise as of late. pete: these encampment, these

protests are they all studentses or are there outside aspects? >> again, i haven't really fully been inside, so i don't know. at least at the protests, it is definitely not all students. they're bringing people in. they have the a mix of students and non-students, and they're posting on social media calling on anyone in the area to come and support, so it's not a fully student-led operation. pete: unfortunately, some of this end. ed because with rutgers caved to some of the demands of protesters. here's a portion of what they caved to, accepting 10 displaced palestinian students on scholarships. use the word palestine, palestinians and gazans in official communications and display flags of other countries to ensure appropriate representation of students. why can't rutgers or other universities just stand up for kids that are being targeted? >> yeah. i think, unfortunately, it's a problem sort of as you mentioned across a lot of universities, but university presidents are very hesitant to engage in

conflict. that's sort of the way i see it. they a want to not take a side. but the action of not taking a side is taking a side. these rallies are fueling anti-semitism across the country, and rutgers standing idly by and basically caving to their demands is rutgers basically enabling that fuel to the fire. pete: last question real quick, you held that flag. what does it mean to you? >> it means a lot. when people go out and call for violence and hate speech, i see that as un-american, and i don't think that's what we stand for. so i wanted to hold the flag sort of to counter that for that reason. pete: well, you did a good thing, ben. >> thank you. pete: thanks for rallying others too. >> thank you. pete: already. i'm going to toss it over to rachel who's got a few headlines. rachel: thank, pete. so much for coexist, right? remember those days?
