it is the 8 a.m. hour am hour of "fox and friends" weekend starting with this. is real taking out in irani and commander as the two countries continues to trade strikes while the world waits for donald trump to make a decision on if for the us will get involved. charlie: vice president vance in la as anti-ice protests continue and he has a message for gavin newsom and karen bass. >> just do your job. it is so simple to have a country where you do well by the american citizens, by the people who have the legal right to be here. joey: it has been 50 years since jaws made audiences terrified to go into the water and also gave sharks a bad rap. >> you are going to need a bigger boat.

charlie: we will have an expert break down the apex predators ahead. the third hour of "fox and friends" weekend starts now. ♪ joey: that is a solid tune. i know your big swifty. rachel: they were part of the soundtrack of my life. charlie: i'm getting it going. rachel: google knows we are part of the soundtrack of my life in high school for sure. we are going to need a bigger boat, i and her the top 5 most famous lines from the movie in history. top five.

charlie: we have a shark expert i have been with before. jaws fundamentally impacted my life, that movie was so important. joey: if it inspired shark week it is worth every cent they spent making it. to our top story this morning, israel is currently striking the letter for structure in iran after killing an islamic revolutionary guard commander who they say funded and armed hamas ahead of the october 7th attacks in israel. griff: mike tobin has the latest details. >> reporter: israeli fighter jets are active in the southwestern portion of iran, striking targets and this follows another round of iranian missiles that flew at central israel last night, those missiles creating fireballs in the sky as they reentered the atmosphere. israeli missile interceptors in hot pursuit in the sky.

there was a fire top of an apartment building, no reports of injuries, the second time halone has been hit, the assassination of key iranian figures, one was stuck in a car, the idf says he was the commander of the fourth the transferred weapons to hamas, hezbollah and houthi rebels. they assassinated said izadahi, one of the architects of the massacre. a key person in the relationship between iran and hamas. he was killed in the iranian town of khoum. the idf estimates they destroyed half of iran's missile capability. >> if you don't keep pushing all the time it might change, they might rearrange but we are

pushing all the time, hunting down the commanders, making sure they don't have a second to regroup and rearrange their operations. >> reporter: iran's foreign minister says iran will not return to the negotiating table as long as is really strikes are going into iran. joey: it seems israel is continuing to have a full court press if you will. >> reporter: they have freedom of the skies over iran having decimated their air defenses and what they talked at the top of my live shot, israeli warplanes are active in southwest iran. griff: there was a little ambiguity what their assets were if they had fighter jets, even old american ones. is there an air force for iran

at this point? >> reporter: they didn't get many aircraft off the ground if they were. they had things like old us f-15s before the islamic revolution. speaking with an israeli f-16 pilot, put one of those things in the air again as much as they are part of us history, they are antiquated compared to things the israeli air force has. rachel: they peaked at top gun. my question about the american citizens there outside of tel aviv. my girlfriend's parents in jerusalem got separated, the dad was on vacation visiting the children elsewhere in the mom will get on a 16 hour bus ride to egypt, talk about the tenor with americans and whether they are staying put all want to come back. >> reporter: you have a lot of israelis who are interested in being here, trying to get back

into the country to ensure solidarity but the other american jews who are here are nervous about traveling. we came through jordan. a lot of them are nervous about going through jordan, going down through the south of israel through the sinai peninsula and egypt but people have done it. they can make that trip. they have options. also some transportation being arranged through the us embassy. they've got options to get out but it is a nervous thing in israel. griff: thanks for being with us. we are fortunate to have you on the couch because you understand the ordinance. we talked so much about how we are the only ones who can do it. only this one, bunker buster, only american planes and we can show you on the wall here what

israel does half. israel can get close. they have this be 109 and the closer one, the gbu 28 that can only go 16 to 20 feet and as we know, fordow, the nuclear facility, is 200 plus feet underneath a mountain and publicly we don't know intelligence of how deep they could be trying to be concealing a significant amount of uranium that iaea says has enriched a 60% which is a shortstop before you get to weapons grade 90. joey: we have the most inventive weapons technologists in the world in our country. when we deliver a weapon we look at it like we have this manifest destiny, war here is unlikely. we want to develop weapons that can be put on a truck, a plane, and go into a foreign theater.

a lot about weapons are more complex how they are fused and designed which means they don't always go off but a bomb like this isn't overly complex. 30%, maybe 10% of the overall weight of 30,000 pounds of this bomb is explosives and the reason why is it is a big chunk of metal falling from the sky and that allows it to penetrate so deep. what we have is the ability to employ it and the intend to make it. we made these bombs for a specific purpose and this is it. i want to know, my biggest question, what donald trump is having to analyze is how good and how precise is our intelligence. and it is harmful to the atmosphere, and we destroy this

fordpw facility but there isn't regime change does that mean you can't take away their knowledge, they have learned. griff: here is what david burke said. we will work to get that back but it was insightful to hear him talk about it and there's a chance it might not work but it looks like -- joey: not sure what the clip was but one thing he said that struck me was the amount of confidence he had, the precision of this bunker buster. let's hear it. >> absolutely can be done. there's not a cave deep enough to defend itself against the american military. this with the unprecedented use of that weapon from a penetration standpoint, we know

the aircraft works in the weapon works. we've not done this in combat but i guarantee you knows this. our aircraft and pilots and the systems have been trained and practiced for years. they are ready for this mission. they are completely capable and ready to go at a moments notice. they are ready for the execution. rachel: for those americans wondering what intervention means, appreciating it could be a spectrum, some argue this use would be strength without spread, this would be a bomb that would enable it, how do you feel in that argument? what is your analysis, response to that argument? joey: you mean scattering nuclear material? rachel: mission create, people are likely don't want to -- this -- joey: my assessment is if israel takes this to regime change, the big question is what happens next. if you know the history of the

region, the reason we lost 400 total between marine and french in lebanon is israel pushed in lebanon to go against the guerrilla forces there, the international community made a deal for israel to pull out and peacekeepers in there, marines, to help lebanon get to what its next government should be and that is why we lost so many. what trump would not allow to happen is for us to get, what happens with iran post if the regime were to change. it is different from the question you asked. if we drop a bomb in a strategic location trump has made those calculations, the first thing is do we assist in taking out any retaliatory missile batteries first. on the field of battle you won't take action against your enemy unless you consider what reaction your enemy can take and the best thing to do is take that reaction component out before you take your action. they may not be a bomb dropped in the morning, it may be that israel ramps up their attacks

on all of those missile batteries or areas of capabilities that iran has and that might be the best precursor for another action taken. rachel: trump is scheduled to receive intelligence briefings with the national security council today and tomorrow as the world waits for him to decide if the us will indeed take action in israel and iran's conflict. griff: the president says the director of national intelligence, tulsi gabbard, is wrong in her assessment that iran is not closed but in a nuclear weapon. joey: nate foy in new jersey. >> reporter: we have breaking news and moving pieces on the chessboard as it appears based on flight tracking data that six b-2 bombers are headed towards us air force base in guam right now. these are the planes that carry those bunker buster bombs that you were talking about.

the next refueling station will happen in hawaii at 11:00 a.m. and based on the fact there will be refueling so early in the trip it appears they didn't leave with a full fuel tank which could be an indication those bombs are being carried on those planes. trump will receive another national security briefing when he returns to the white house from new jersey later this afternoon but after landing in new jersey meet with headline saying his own director of national intelligence, tulsi gabbard, was wrong when she testified before congress in march that iran was not pursuing a nuclear weapon. >> what intelligence do you have that iran is building a nuclear weapon? your intelligence community said they had no evidence they are at this point? >> the intelligence community is wrong. who in the intelligence community said that? >> reporter: director of national intelligence tulsi gabbard. >> he is wrong. >> reporter: gabbard testified about the nuclear program on march 25th.

>> iran is not building a nuclear weapon and supreme leader lhjamenei is not developing a nuclear weapon. >> reporter: that was then, this is now. gabbard responded last night on x, quote, the dishonest media is taking my testimony out of context and spreading fake news as a way to manufacture division. america has intelligence that iran is at the point that it can produce a nuclear weapon within weeks to months if they decide to finalize the assembly, donald trump has been clear that can't happen and i agree. the iranian foreign minister met with his european counterparts in geneva yesterday but without a breakthrough, trump said yesterday two weeks is the maximum amount of time he will wait for decision but one could come sooner. >> two week timetable. time to see whether or not people come to their senses.

>> reporter: trump also said that he would possibly be open to a temporary cease-fire with iran during negotiations but added it would depend on the situation and it is difficult to do that because israel is winning on the battlefield. send it back to you guys. joey: big news in new jersey. griff: the story we are talking about today is the democrats continue to double down on immigration. even on the trans issue was a losing issue in the november election, democrats seem to still be there. doubling down on these issues that don't work and a woman who is a long legendary campaign manager, patty so lease doy was doing a podcast into the quite part out now.

>> if your party doesn't hold the white house the leader of the party is the last president of that party. right now for us that is joe biden but he has completely, you know, he is off the radar completely. right now we are leaderless, the message, we are agendaless, we don't have any alternative ideas to the republicans right now. i am concerned. joey: you don't have to be spinning to see that. she is saying it from a point of concern, not to run her party down, i don't know if it is indicative of how bad the democrat party is or how effective donald trump has been in sewing together the coalition that won in 2024. rachel: there's no one cohesive leader because the factions are so varied. there are certain issues it seems the whole party is in

line, like being for butchering miners and the like but on many issues, rahm emanuel would be an example, stop with the locker room, the boys and girls sports, we need to get america back on track, get the party back on track, this is how we do it but at the end of the day there is not one general, there's a bunch of i don't know. joey: it is like herding cats because so many democrats doing things that are difficult to manage to include, congressman who have been in washington a long time, hank johnson wanted to put a video up on his anti-trump way of doing it at it didn't work out so well. watch. ♪ hey trump ♪ where you going with that gun in your hand ♪ i'm going down the street

and shootdown democracy ♪ you know i want to be a king someday ♪ joey: i want to point out this is the same person who a decade ago sat in front of the joint chiefs of staff and asked about putting troops on guam would make the island tip over. i wish we had that sound to introduce him a little more time and we will but he literally setting a hearing and asked the joint chiefs of staff chairman, all the joint chiefs of staff if putting troops on guam, too many troops would make the island tip over. if that is your understanding of geography you shouldn't be in the house of representatives. his excuse was his medication was messing with him. what medication where you on? hallucinogens? were you taking mushrooms that they? that is the kind of people in the halls of congress playing jimi hendrix to protest the president. we are going to turn to some headlines.

police arrest and ohio man accusing him of trying to run republican congressman max miller off the road while using anti-semitic slurs. >> as i was driving to work some unhinged deranged man decided to lay on his horn and run me off the road when he couldn't get my attention to show me a palestinian flag. joey: police say the suspect is charged with aggravated, menacing and ethnic intimidation after voluntarily turning himself in. hawaii's kilauea volcano, i probably did not pronounce that correctly, sending jets of lava a thousand feet into the air, the lava flow remains contained. the volcano also released a volcanic cloud 15,000 feet high. to me that is pretty high. this is the volcano's 26th lava

fountain episodes since last december. i don't know if that is a good thing or a bad thing. if they slowly vent, maybe that is a good thing. culinary icon martha stewart sparked a new debate, what belongs on a hot dog. what toppings. >> i love hot dogs with the works. mustard, ketchup, relish, sauerkraut, twisted bun. joey: people are calling her endorsement of catch up on the summer favorite diabolical. some fans approve of the move. i am absolutely the debate comes as hines has declared ketchup belongs on the breakfast table, launching a rebrand of breakfast ketchup with a makeover to look like syrup style bottles. i will say this. anything is better than when they tried to make us like green ketchup but in what world is catch up on a hot dog or controversial thing? rachel: my husband only likes mustard on hot dogs.

my issue was with the bacon which is my favorite food but i like the bacon separate. ketchup, mustard, sauerkraut, relish. joey: i don't put ketchup on bratwurst. griff: as a child i grew up watching the dirty harry movies and there's a famous scene where clint eastwood turns to whoever and says nobody put ketchup on a hot dog. joey: i put mustard on every hot dog i have ever eaten. griff: the one thing clint was wrong about. a look back at iran's most devastating attacks against the us that show why many believe this war is as much hours as it is israel's.

viewers of the threats, what iran did a long time ago which was invest heavily in proxies, create essentially a ring of fire. israel is writing here but all around it you have hamas, hezbollah, the palestinian islamic jihad, shiite militias in iraq, who have been trying to box israel in so they would be forced to fight a multi-front war. that was iran's strategy. when did the strategy begin? almost 50 years ago. 45 years ago, come with me, remember the shar deposed, students taking over in literally 1979 taking 66 american hostages. then no one can forget the

beirut bombing, at the embassy, the marine barracks, deadliest attack on us marines since world war ii at the time. israel just killed last year the mastermind of that. 603 us troops, 2003-2011, iran, shia a militias, january of last year, three us troops in jordan and june right now where we are with basis being struck by drones and missiles. or to discuss it, former state department counterterrorist coordinator and former ambassador at large nathan sales. no one better to talk to about this was what i was trying to do is show people this is been going on for 45 years. when people wonder whether or not iran wants death to america they have proven it with their actions, not just their words.

>> exactly right. people talk about forever wars, this is the forever war that iran has been waging against the united states for almost a half-century. that doesn't mean the united states needs to bomb iran or pursue regime change through military means but it does clarify what is at stake in this war between israel and iran. they chant death to america. that hasn't been just a slogan because they put weapons behind it, kill 600 soldiers in a rack, many other outrages. imagine what this regime would do with a nuclear weapon. not just words at that point. it becomes a clear and present danger. america has a strong interest in israel defang the nuclear threat. joey: will trump decide to take action?

do you think donald trump will strike iran's sites like fordow and do you think he should? >> that's the million-dollar question. i don't know what the president is going to do but let me say this. the first administration there were a number of instances where donald trump ordered discrete one off military strikes that didn't result in us getting drawn into a broader war. he did it in iran when he took out terrorist mastermind s salamani and strikes on the chemical weapons program at each time it was a 1-off incident that didn't lead to world war iii or quagmire. can he reproduce those successes at minimal risk to the united states? griff: might be the most consequential trip of his lifetime, certainly in his presidency. nathan sales, thank you for taking time today.

taylor:sorry. it was so good. i spoke at the meeting yesterday. it was so great seeing all the women there and how they were standing up like i did when i lost my spot on my team and i wore my shirt to my practice and was called a nazi by my athletic director. great to see how many more women are standing up for this issue because no one deserves to go through what i have been through. joey: we are looking for a silver lining. i have a 6-year-old girl and i know what it is like to feel like you are there to protect and defend your daughter but you have to be pretty proud, as proud as if she had won a state meet herself to see her stand up and have the courage to tell the world what is right.

>> absolutely. i've seen her grow and her sister grow through this incident and watched them be creative just -- courageous and stand up for women's rights and their right for a spot. it is incredible as a father. her mother and i couldn't be more proud to see what they have done. california and gavin newsom continue or will start to fight for them. he says it is unfair for these girls but just giving lip service, not making any changes, that is what we need in california. can't just stand up for these girls and make it right. joey: how important is it to have these young women stand up and make their case known and what path is there to save women sports in california? >> it is important. taylor is a hero. all our adults in leadership have failed her.

it is amazing that we are leaning on 15 and 16-year-old girl 3 plaintiffs in lawsuits to make this right so advocates for faith and freedom brought a landmark lawsuit in federal court. we have a hearing on friday with our brilliant attorney julian fleischer. please pray for her and her hearing on friday but we are doing everything we can to save women sports because taylor is important. every little girl who dreams of succeeding in sports is important. i am so grateful to represent taylor. joey: thank you for the work you are doing and for standing up and speaking out, giving voice to so many and good luck on everything ahead. let's hope this gets fixed. still ahead. from the karen read trial to the idaho quadruple murder case we break down the high profile legal sagas that rocked the country this week.

rachel: a lead investigator and jurors speaking out about the karen reed retrial after this week's bombshell verdict in the death of retired boston police officer john o'keefe.

>> i expressed those emotions in a negative way. i shouldn't. shouldn't have texted my friends anything. they are what they are, define me as a person. they are regrettable. >> i'm confident we did the right thing. i feel sorry justice wasn't served to jordan keefe's family. rachel: let's bring in nicole blank becker. we heard from proctor. he was removed from the prosecutorial team and we heard from insurer talking about justin's -- justice for john o'keefe. she said no one fought harder for justice for john than i did. what are your thoughts? >> this is an amazing ultimate verdict. a case that clearly shows when the government throws a bunch of things out and the defense

sticks to simple, don't get into the minutia, don't go challenging different ideas and different thoughts. get right in there and the fact that the juror was concerned about john, that is human nature. regardless what human nature brings, the prosecution simply did not prove their case beyond reasonable doubt so they had to find that guilty. rachel: it is fascinating what happens in a second trial, prosecution and defense tightened their belts surgically swinging but at the end of the day the tie went to the defense but idaho judge tells brian coberger to prepare for a shoulder and after attempts to delay the murder trial.

>> reporter: the kohlberg case will be fascinating. there will be a lot of different sides to the story. what they are going to have to do is undermine the defense, undermine the dna evidence and show there was in the government is going to have to show a clear motive because in this case it is astonishing there is 0 relationship that has been shown by the victims in this case. therefore the government has their work cut out for them but if they do like they did in cara reed which was the defense, keep to the details that are different from each case, the testimony and make the government or prosecution prove their case beyond reasonable doubt. that's what the defense is going to be doing. rachel: the duty defense team say they can rest next week, it

is between the business enterprise and his personal life. talk to us about the strategy the defense will employ in these final moments. >> it will involve distancing as far as they can from the actual enterprise that this is become or they are interpreting this is. in other words the defense should do a very similar thing. ironic we are talking about retrials at the same time. the defense living down there witnesses because all they have to do is not show that p diddy is innocent, all they have to do is show he is not guilty. how do you do that? proving now time and time again, call few witnesses, get in, get them on the stand, get the point across and get out

and in the closing distance, he diddy for many of these illegal activities they are alleging occurred. rachel: the court of public opinions is often different from what happens in courts. thank you for joining us. >> thank you for having me, take care. rachel: back to nashville, rick reichmuth taking a ride on the national pedal tavern with his driver, brian. >> reporter: right on cue the sirens go by. is that a common thing in nashville? >> par for the course. >> reporter: we are on the national pedal tavern. you didn't give us any tavern to reach. treats. >> where are my manners? for every one. >> reporter: how many of these are or are not bachelor parties.

40 to 50% of bachelor parties. rachel: we will send it back. rachel: i give that pedal tavern, it is not all of that. it is 50 years since jobs made audiences terrified to go into the water. that gives sharks a bad rap. we break down fact versus fiction straightahead.

joey: 50 years ago j rachel: dawes has shaped americans views of sharks, most of the film is a hollywood fisherman's tale. griff: the marine biologist who knows more about sharks than anyone else's doctor aston gallagher, great to see you. 50th anniversary. i was telling the story yesterday i saw jobs when i was 5, jumped in my mom's lap i was

so terrified but as you know it lead to impacting my life because i went to swim with sharks. i love being around them but i want to get your thoughts on as we talked before about fact and fiction about them because they are such a misunderstood creature. when you talk about the odds of being killed by a shark and how low they are, probably lower than being killed by a bear or a bee sting. >> good to see you, thanks for having me this morning, you're absolutely right. they captivate us, jars is an iconic film but it does portray a side of the animal that is not completely realistic and is much more likely for any of us to be harmed or killed by bees, dogs, even vending machines. rachel: the best way to stop a shark attack is to punch them in the nose?

>> that is a fact, sharks have a collection of sensory pours right there on the nose and the face and if you can push them away or hit them there it will overwhelm them and keep their distance. joey: sharks only like warm water, fact or fiction? >> fiction. they prefer pretty much all types of water, they are found all around the world, over 500 species of sharks. our favorite shark, the great white, is typically a colder water shark. you see it in waters like in the film, martha's vineyard, long island sound, gets pretty cold. griff: looking at sharks in jupiter, four miles off the coast, water a little bit cold.

i did interact with it but any time you are around them you want to maintain obviously composure, and ways to reduce being attacked. >> absolutely. it's all about body language, you are doing a great job. definitely can pick up on all the micro movements you make. it is about making observations like we talked about last time. griff: they are beautiful creatures, misunderstood, thank you for taking time with us today. rachel: we love sharks. more "fox and friends" coming up next. ♪
