we're glad to as mentioned on "fox & friends." we're waiting pope francis to give his easter blessing. so happy to have you with us on this day of hope, a day of renewal and day of forgiveness. rachel: we think of the resurrection, the meaning of why we're on earth, our salvation, i've been thinking a lot this morning about christians persecuted around the world. christianity remains the most persecutorred religion in the world. a special prayer for all of those in china, in africa, in you know, all kinds of places around the world. in cuba for example. people who cannot do as we're doing openly celebrate the resurrection of christ. pete: a wonderful point. something to contemplate today, especially with a world so much awry. the fact we can sit on a couch and profess the name of jesus christ we take for granted. so many places they cannot. beautiful images from vatican city. we believe the spoke will speak. there will be real-time english translation we will bring as well. as you're waking up with us this morning hope you're with your family, have a great day in front of me. >> i remember being a little girl, not much older than the little girl in the image, in front of st. peter's basilica there, what an exciting today for all the people waiting the pope's message right now. will: the pope just finished up his easter mass. he is arriving. let's listen to the easter blessing this morning on "fox & friends". ♪. >> translator: the vatican national on a them. ♪. -- national anthem. ♪ italian national anthem. so what is going to happen that we're going to have a message, easter message from the holy father. then there will be the granting of the plenary indulgence, followed by the actual blessing of the urbi et orbi. the vatican guard, italian armed forces, the pontifica band, doing their thing right there in st. peter's square. dear brothers and sisters, happy easter. jesus, the crucified one, come and stand in the midst of those who mourned him. they are locked behind closed doors and full of fear and anguish. he comes among them says, peace be with you. he showed the wounds in his hands and feet and the wounds in his side. he is no ghost. he is truly jesus, the same jesus who died on the cross and laid in the tomb. before the incredulous eyes of the disciples, he repeats, peace be with you. our eyes are incredulous on this easter of war. we've seen all too much blood, all too much violence. our hearts too have been filled with fear and anguish as some of our brothers and sisters, they have had to lock themselves away in order to be safe from bombing. we struggle to believe that jesus is truly risen. that he has truly triumphed over death. could it be an illusion, a figment of our imagination? no, it is not an illusion. today more than ever we hear the echoing of the easter proclamation, christ is risen, he is truly risen. today more than ever we need him. at the end of a land that seemed endless. we emerged from two years of the pandemic which took a heavy toll. it is time to come out of the tunnel together, hand in hand, pooling our strengths and resources. instead we are assuring that we still have within us the spirit of cain. there is still the spirit of cain. who ought able not as a brother but as a rival and went and thought about how to eliminate him. we need the crucified and risen lord so that we can believe in the victory of love and hope for reconciliation. today more than ever we need him to stand in our midst and repeat to us, peace be with you. only he can do it. today he alone has the right to speak to us about peace. jesus alone, for he bears wounds, our wounds. his wounds are indeed ours for two reasons. they are ours because we inflicted them upon him by our sins, by our hardness of heart, by our fratacidal hatred. they are our because he bore them for our sake. he chose to keep them, to bear them forever. they are, the indelible sin of his love for us, a perennial act of intercession so that the heavily father in seeing them will have mercy upon us and upon the whole world. the wounds on the body of the risen jesus are a sign of the battle he fought and won for us, won the with the weapons of love so that we may have peace and remain in peace. the incredulous wounds and eyes, our harden hearts break open, welcome the easter message, peace be with you. brothers and sisters, let us allow the peace of christ to enter our lives, our homes, our countries. may there be peace for war-torn ukraine, so sorely tried by the violence and the destruction of the cruel and senseless war in which it was dragged. [applause] on this terrible night of suffering and death may a new dawn of new hope soon appear. let there be a peace. let me there be an end to flexing of muscle while people are suffering. please, please, let us not get used to war. let us all commit ourselves to imploring peace from our balconies and in our streets peace. may the leaders of nations hear the peoples' plea for peace. may they listen to the trouble question posed by almost 70 years ago, shall we put an end to the human race or shall human kind renounce war? shall we put an end to the human race or shall the human race, so someone can renounce war? i hold in my heart all the many ukrainian victims, the millions of refugees and displaced persons, the divided families, those left to themselves, the lives broken, the cities razed to the ground. i see the -- faces of the orphan children fleeing from the war. as we look at them we cannot help but hear their cry of pain, along with those of other children who suffer throughout our world. those dying of hunger, for lack of medical care. those who are victims of violence and abuse and those denied the right to be born. amid the pain of war there are also encouraging signs such as the open doors of those families and communities that welcoming migrants and refugees throughout europe. numerous acts of charity become a blessing for us. at times debased by selfishness and individualism and help to make them welcoming to all. may the conflict in europe also make us more concerned about other situations of conflict, suffering and sorrow, situations that affect all too many areas of our world. situations that we cannot overlook and do not want to forget. may there be peace in the middle east rocked by years of conflict and division. on this glorious day let us ask for peace upon jerusalem and peace upon those who love her. christianss, jews, muslims, alike. may israel, palestine, those who dwell in the holy city together with the pilgrims experience the peace. dwell in fraternity and enjoy free access to the holy places mute mutual respect for the rights of each. may there be peace, reconciliation to the people of lebanon, syria and iraq and in particular to all the christian communities of the middle east may there be peace also for libya so it may find stability after years of tensions and from yemen which suffers for a conflict forgotten by all with continuous victims. there may be the true sign in recent days to restore hope to the people. we also ask the risen lord for the gift of reconciliation for myanmar with a dramatic scenario of violence, disease and afghanistan where dangerous social tensions are not easing. and tragic humanitarian crisis is bringing great suffering to its people. may there be peace to the entire african continent so that exploitation it suffers and the hemorrhaging caused by terrorist attacks, particularly in the her region and that it may find concrete support in the fraternity of people. may the path of reconciliation be taken in ethiopia affected by serious humanitarian crisis and may there be an end to violence in the democratic republic of congo. may prayer and solidarity not be lacking for the people in eastern part of south africa struck by devastating floods. may the risen christ accompany and help the people of latin america in some cases seen their social conditions worsen in these times of pandemic affected as well by instances of crime, violence and corruption and drug trafficking. let us ask the risen lord to accompany the journey of reconciliation that the catholic church in canada is making with indigenous peoples. may the spirit of the risen christ heal the wounds of the past and dispose hearts to seek truth and fraternity. holy father had to sit down as he has a painful knee. dear brothers and sisters every war brings in its way affecting the entire humanity from grief, mourning, the drama of refugees and economic and food crisis. the signs of which are already are seeing. same with the continuing signs of war as well as the many painful setbacks of this life. jesus christ, the victor over sin, fear and death, exhorts us not to surrender did to evil and violence. may be warmed by the peace of christ. peace is possible. peace is a duty. peace is everyone's primary responsibility. very powerful message and appeal. the urbi etorbi from the holy father. at some point he had to sit. he is now standing. the deacon will announce granting of plenary indulgence. >> translator: please holy pope francis grants the plenary indulgence in the form laid down by the church to all faithful present and to all receive the blessing by radio, television, and the new communication media. pete: pope francis giving his easter message. he talked about many things, the basics of jesus bears our wounds, wounds from our sins, wounds for our sins, washing the sins away, praying, speaking a lot about peace and conflicts around the world including ukraine, calling on leaders around the world and others to bring about peace on the world. there is a lot of conflict. >> city and the world, brought many conflicts around the world from yemen to libya to the poverty and crime and cartels in latin america. he is definitely sending a message to over a billion catholics but remembering jews and non-christians as well in his message. will: i hope you at home were able to appreciate that message like we were here in the studio. it was silence for the better part of 15 minutes as we listened to the message on this easter morning. a message resonates not just with catholics to your point, rachel, anyone present at the moment, listen to a message that applies to a moment at large. meanwhile in the secular press, the united states of america, there is a message, one is hesitant to even give attention yet this was published in "the new york times" on the morning of easter t was an op-ed entitled the follow, in this time of war i propose we give up god. the op-ed went on to say this weekend jews around the world will celebrate the holiday of passover, the name which comes of god passing over the homes of our distant ancestors to slaughter first-born sons of evil egyptians. the our forefathers, the story goes marked their posts with lam's blood to spare their own sons the of their enemies. i say we pass over something else, god. that is an es imagine, opinion, editorial this morning from "the new york times." rachel: so out of touch with the rest of america. i don't believe this is a majority opinion. in fact "the new york times" best-seller right now is shannon bream's book about the bible and mother's and daughters of the bible. there is clearly appetite for religion. frankly i don't know how people can get up in the morning hearing all the things going on in the world and thinking this is it. this is what we're living right now is the end of our existence. there is the hope of course in the resurrection. the fact this is just a pit stop, we're on our way to heaven if we're lucky. pete: well-said. leave it to "the new york times" on easter weekend to make this type of argument. the op-ed goes on to say, perhaps, now is a good time to say to our children, pass over god, be as unlike him as possible. and it was written by a individual who purports to have grown up as a orthodox jew, taught all about the horrific things of the old testament. if god was willing to do those things, god is brutal and must be bad, therefore we must reject him which is of course a come rejection of the new testament of gospel, the resurrection, of the life, the life, the mission, the death and resurrection of jesus christ who taught peace, who taught reconciliation, who taught salvation only at the cross a little off today from "the new york times." rachel: a little off. we talked to cardinal dolan by the way on friday here on "fox & friends" right on the couch. he is a bundle of joy, isn't he? he was very funny. but he also had an easter message. we would juxtapose that next to "the new york times" op-ed. here is what cardinal dolan had to say about easter. >> a blessed easter to all of you. wouldn't you agree with me that we need a little easter right this very moment? usually we sing that at christmastime but something tells me we really need the message, the light, the hope, the life, the goodness of easter. we've been going through good friday. you look at ukraine, you look at tensions of the world. look at the violence in our city. look at that subway atrocity. look at the division in our country. look at tensions we got, yeah, within our families, within our friends, honestly within ourselves. yet even in the church that i serve. you see a lot of darkness. you see a lot of sin. sometimes we're tempted good friday will have the last word. never, god always has the last word. in the resurrection of his son what he said is, good friday does not have the last word. darkness turns to light. evil turns to goodness. despair turns to hope and death turns to life everlasting. if you don't think we need the resilience, the confidence, the hope, the joy that gives, you must be on another planet. so have a very blessed easter. will: yes, have a very blessed easter. that is a message that should resonate this morning, not that from "the new york times." let's go to birmingham, alabama, where abby hornacek is live to recap last night's inaugural usfl game. good morning, abby. reporter: good morning, guys. happy easter to you, happy

attorney, candidate, peter, great to talk to you this morning. at the outset, what do you think of governor abbott's not proposal but action to send illegal immigrants to washington, d.c.? >> good morning. happy easter. legally speaking the governor of texas cannot force anyone to get on a bus to transport them to texas, i mean to d.c., however, if they're willing, if the immigrants are willing to get on the bus, voluntarily he can facilitate that transportation to either d.c., other states for that matter. he cannot force them. that would be kidnapping. that would be a violation of the fourth amendment. i don't see the governor doing that forcefully. will: that is an interesting, that is interesting insight in that well, some would argue that is governor abbott facilitating the desires of illegal immigrants. if this is something they have to want and volunteer for, he is facilitating the transfer of illegal emigration. others say well, he can't force them out of the country because of that lack of power. what is the power of a state to enforce immigration laws, peter? >> the boyar of the state is limited because federal law supersedes the state law. if the federal government requires the state to assist in enforcing the laws that would be a different matter. federal law actually does supersede state law. immigration law is federal law. what we have right now the federal government is fail completely to enforce immigration laws and promoting chaos at the border. what states can do when immigrants in their state, they have the authority to check their papers or status, if they apply for certain benefits within the state. they can, once they detain an illegal who committed a crime within certain states, they can hold them, notify i.c.e. to pick them up, remove them, process them for removal but the state itself does not have the authority to enforce immigration laws without the federal government asking for assistance. will: so the state cannot force anybody on to a bus to deport them from the united states of america but the state, in this case, with governor abbott can ask them voluntarily get on a bus to ship them out of the state? sounds like to me, what you're saying the state has very little power to actually do anything about illegal immigration? >> that is correct. as i said unless the federal government asks for assistance from the state authorities. otherwise, as i said federal law supersedes state law. it is the federal government that should take the lead, fighting influx of illegals coming into the united states but the federal government itself is enticing them to come to the united states. unfortunately the governor the texas is very limited in his authority to do anything about it. will: peter lumaj, thank you for that insight this morning. >> thank you for having me. will: coming up a lack of law and order forcing two dads to defend their california community. their stand against the bad guys causing chaos in their city. thi, but you've been here before. you were here when this wrench was turned. and when this line was drawn. oh. and when this stitch was sewn. you inspired the lexus es to be, well more you. so thank you. we hope you like your work. ♪ ♪ get special offers on the 2022 es 350. for copd, ask your doctor about breztri. breztri gives you better breathing, symptom improvement, and helps prevent flare-ups. breztri won't replace a rescue inhaler for sudden breathing problems. it is not for asthma. tell your doctor if you have a heart condition... ...or high blood pressure before taking it. don't take breztri more than prescribed. breztri may increase your risk of thrush, pneumonia, and osteoporosis. call your doctor if worsened breathing, chest pain, mouth or tongue swelling,... ...problems urinating, vision changes, or eye pain occur. if you have copd, ask your doctor about breztri. i didn't know my genetic report could tell me i was prone to harmful blood clots. i travel a ton, so this info was kind of life changing. maybe even lifesaving. ♪do you know what the future holds?♪ plain aspirin could be hurting your stomach. vazalore 325 liquid-filled aspirin capsule is clinically shown in a 7 day study to cause fewer ulcers than immediate release aspirin. vazalore. the first liquid-filled aspirin capsules...amazing! ♪. pete: from friendly neighbors to local heroes as robberies, aggravated assaults surge in los angeles. our next guests are two southern california dads, concerned citizens, who have spent the past couple of months protecting their community by taking matters into their own hands including fighting off robbers, tracking their stolen property, and even retrieving their neighbors stolen car. but now they have had enough of california's crime, they're packing them up, moving their families to texas. concerned dads, josh and michael joins me now. concerned dads, also neighbors. thanks for joining us. when this started, when a crime wave started in your neighborhood, did you think it was something that would be temporary and therefore the actions you were taking is something that would deter it?

a lot of people say i call the police, it is the police's job. why did you say it was our job? >> i think, michael said it best the other day. we're just tired of it. it has been going on for years. we were kind of determined to get these bikes back, help our neighbor out. get our car back. there is only so much you can do, right?

josh, i mean, have you been harmed? have you been threatened? what has been the response been to you guys being proactive? >> nothing really. we took precautions when going out tracking down the bikes and the cars. i never felt unsafe, you know, but, the elected officials and the district attorney have created the perfect environment for crime to thrive and prosper out here by defunding the police. pete: keep going. i'm interested in what you say is the reason for it. >> yeah. i mean they have defunded the police. they're not prosecuting crimes. that creates a perfect storm. los angeles is under full attacks from criminal organizations. it is not just our neighborhood. it is entire southern california. pete: that is true. we hear the stories. you're living it. michael, you're considering going somewhere, how actually, is tough that decision prepared to leave where i am in california to go somewhere else?

you just decided at this point only so much a citizen can do when law enforcement is handcuffed the way they are, time to go? >> yeah. i'm not going to wait around for years until this may or may not get fixed. we made the decision to move to texas before these events started happening and, it really confirmed our decision it was the right decision. pete: you're speaking on behalf of a lot of people who made a similar decision, love where they're from, love the weather, want to be somewhere they can raise their kids. when you allow lawlessness, comes into your backyard. not often backyards of politicians that make policies but backyards of other people. you took action. time to take off. michael, thank you both for stepping up for your community. >> happy easter. pete: happy easter indeed. rachel, over to you. rachel: pete, great job. i dent blame them. we'll turn now to your headlines starting with a fox news alert. police arrest a suspect in connection with yesterday's shooting at a south carolina mall. the incident left nine people shot and five others hurt. the suspect was charged with unlawfully carrying a pistol and is expected to face more charges. two other people of interest were temporarily detained but later released. police believe a conflict between armed individuals led to the gunfire. they're still seeking at least two other suspects on that. florida's department of education rejects, get this, 54 math books, arguing they included prohibited topics including critical race theory, in math books. the state's doe said a total of 132 math books were recently submitted for state review. governor ron desantis reacting in a statement saying publishers attempted to slap a coat of paint on an old house built on race essentialism bizarrely for elementary school students. wow. if it is in math it is everywhere.

>> i was thinking about this i grew up in a church. i have a wonderful christian family, but i wasn't fulfilled. i had the voice and hole in my heart. i searched and searched, how can i fill the void? how can i be happy? how can i know god will bless my life, how will i know to heaven? i was 21 years old, november 19th, 1997 i was at a fraternity party in college. i looked around in the room, at a big party, i said i can't do this anymore. i am so sick of this. this is not fulfilling me. i feel like i'm in a slimy pit. i couldn't get out. i knew jesus was throwing me a rope. it was cold outside. we were up in the mountains. god, i know i need this prayer. i don't know how to be saved. i sat on the steps. i said jesus, fill this hole in my heart. he did, rachel. so many blessings in my life, because of jesus, because of making that decision. there is a famous message that i always listen to on sunday, on easter sunday, it was by loughridge, an african-american preacher in san diego. he followed with billy graham as well. he had beautiful voice. it is friday, sunday is coming. i'm sure you heard it, rachel, many of you have. so powerful, encourage you to listen on youtube. it basically says, it is friday, jesus is praying, peter is weeping, judas is betraying, but sunday is coming. the crowd is vilifying. they don't even know that sunday is coming, goes through the whole process. that is how many of us feel or felt in our lives. that we were living in friday but guess what? sunday is coming, rachel. and many of you have broken marriages, you have been abandoned by friends, rejected by the world. look at our country right now. it might feel like friday. sunday is coming. we've gone through covid. many people are having financial problems. been diagnosed with a terrible disease or have a sick child which would be just horrible but sunday is coming. and jesus paid the ultimate price on the cross for us. we can be forgiven. we can have hope on a sunday. this world comes with so much pain, so many hard experiences but, when it ends we go to heaven if you have jesus in your heart. it is no pain. no suffering, no crying, no tears. beautiful images. i watch all the time on youtube. stories about people who have died and gone to heaven. they have similar stories, out of body experience. walk into heaven. they don't want to come back. they have to come back. but they all wanted to stay because it was so beautiful. rachel: such a beautiful message you're giving, thinking about this world as i told pete and will as a pit stop on the way to heaven, it puts it all into perspective. ainsley, i want to wish you and your beautiful family, a very happy easter. >> thank you, rachel. happy easter to everyone out there. i love you rachel. i love everyone out there. jesus loves you. he is risen hallelujah. rachel: hallelujah indeed. ainsley earhardt. >> thank you. >> three big hours of "fox & friends" weekend still ahead this easter sunday. stay with us all morning and go to church. ♪. safelite makes it easy. >> tech vo: you can schedule in just a few clicks. and we'll come to you with a replacement you can trust. >> man: looks great. >> tech: that's service on your time. schedule now. >> singers: ♪ safelite repair, safelite replace. ♪ [ bee buzzing ] your happiest spring starts at lowe's. experience all the deals at springfest. lowe's. home to any budget. home to any possibility. hi. we're zerowater. and we believe everyone deserves the purest tasting water. that's why we strive for zero. you see, to some it means nothing. but to us, it means everything. here, take a look. this meter showing triple zeros means our five-stage filter did its job, and that virtually all dissolved solids or tds have been removed. and all that's left is the purest tasting water. let's compare. a two-stage brita filter stops here. but our five-stage filter doesn't quit. zerowater. we strive for zero. i didn't know my genetic report could tell me i was prone to harmful blood clots. i travel a ton, so this info was kind of life changing. maybe even lifesaving. ♪do you know what the future holds?♪ ♪.

secretary mayorkas needs to be impeached. this is an embarassment to the american people that our leadership intentionally unsecured the most secure border we ever have. this is national security crisis of hugest proportions. i'm sick and tired of soft stepping this. members on the hill, republicans need to boycott every meeting with the democrats, not discuss anything until they see action on the border. this is a national security issue. we have lost control of our southern border. pete: tell me where he is wrong? rachel: he is not. pete: he is not. he musters that kind of passion. because he understands the implication of a total loss of sovereignty and total loss of control and a complete invasion. will you mentioned the fourth bus arriving. i'm conflicted on this at this point. there were only 10 people on that bus voluntarily brought from texas. the intention of what governor abbott is doing, it is understandable, put it on the door of politicians that don't understand, i get that. at the same time if you want to force a constitutional showdown, ken cuccinelli own the program yesterday. we're still trying to unpack this. if the federal government is unwilling to do its job, willfully unwilling we've seen over time, then, forget about federal versus state. doesn't a state, as a part of the union have an obligation or at least the opportunity to enforce the laws the federal government won't? maybe sending illegals back across the border would be a better way to force a constitutional showdown. i'm not a constitutional lawyer. i don't know. i know if you're governor of a state where you're watching the federal government swing doors wide open, while this has brought more media scrutiny to it, certainly not a solution. so the question, what is the next step, if you really want to stem the tide? it is crazy that the texas governor and others have to do this. they shouldn't have to. but at this point, if you care about the country, you care about the border somebody has to step up. rachel: well, this is the last leg of the journey for these migrants. the federal government has been doing this for the cartels now for a year. they said, thank you, you paid the cartels, we'll take it from here. we'll disperse the people around the country. governor abbott is sayings, i'm going to do that i have to ask them to volunteer to get on the bus. i will make a statement, dropping them off on the steps of the u.s. capitol. nancy pelosi doesn't live in washington, d.c., itself, probably. probably dropping them off in san francisco on her doorstep might make more after difference. or dropping them off at barack obama's moment town or some other hometown where rich people actually live would make a difference. dropping them off at the steps of the capitol. looks like they're getting greeted with a bunch of ngos, they know they're arriving. if they're el salvador ran, central americans, they have a huge community of central americans that live in the washington, d.c., area. i'm not sure i get this. i wanted the constitutional crisis that would take this to the supreme court so we could get clarity on this, will. will: no doubt they want this ride. this is a voluntary bus ride. in order for one of those illegal immigrants to get on the bus to washington, d.c., they have to volunteer to do so. we learned that. why doesn't texas, governor abbott, another state simply deport them? if you're loading them up on buses, send them to washington, d.c., send them back to mexico, the answer of that question, we rightfully ask, that would be in essence kidnapping. rachel: to take them back from where they came is kidnapping? will: taking a place where they're involuntarily going. that is what we're told earlier by peter lumaj, an attorney, a legal immigrant to the united states of america. >> what is happening right now the federal government is failing to completely enforce immigration laws. they're promoting chaos and lawlessness at the border. power of the state is limited because the federal law supersedes the state law. if the federal government requires the state to assist in enforcing the laws that would be different matter. federal law actually does supersede the state law, immigration law is the federal law. it is the federal government should take the lead in fighting the influx of illegals coming into the united states. the federal government itself is enticing them to come to the united states. unfortunately the governor of texas is very limited and in doing anything about it. will: this most recent part of this news cycle, what can texas, what can arizona do? they can do some things. they're not completely powerless. we know this, you will remember the law from a few years ago when arizona was arresting illegal immigrants who didn't have proof of identification, you remember that law? the supreme court upheld the right of arizona to do so. so you can do some immigration enforcement. we should ask more of these questions. i want to ask more constitutional lawyers on this. deportation itself seems beyond the state's government ability because nature, the reason they're on the bus to d.c. because they volunteered. they won't volunteer to get on board the butts pack to mention co. mexico. making it i guess kidnapping. rachel: if federal government is failing to do their job as the immigration lawyer said, they're enticing people into the country illegally does the state have the right to step in? will: logically, ethically, morally the answer to your question is yes. but legally there is no caveat, that the federal government isn't doing their job so we need to. the supremacy clause puts the federal government's laws above the state. pete: why we have a lawyer here. will: no. pete: you're right. clauses and things settled through supreme court cases that bear that out. it is just this is such a unique circumstance in that the sovereignty of our country is being threatened. we're literally being invaded. hundreds of thousands of people in real time. the federal government is facilitating it. failing to use wall material, texas is building their own wall. they're not deporting people. could another challenge be brought to say this is simply about our sovereignty, this is about the core of our country? i don't know. rachel: we have to go. it is kind of interesting, if you do let states do it, you can open up a whole can of worms. will: sanctuary states. we're not going to enforce laws. whatever it may be. i do agree, their does need to be another, what you would say the federal law is minimum bar and states can enforce it up to a higher standard. say, new mexico goes, we're complete illegal immigration state, you would hope the federal government would create a floor of laws that states could enforce. to your point, pete, there does need to be a constitutional challenge that answers the questions you're asking, rachel, which is, what if you do not enforce the laws? they're on the books what if you do not enforce them? can that executive power pass to an agency that would? pete: right now cities and states don't have to enforce certain portions of the law through sanctuary cities and states. they decided we'll not enforce our jurisdiction. will: works the other way. pete: can it work in reverse? i guess -- rachel: dropping people off in washington, d.c., will not get us to a legal place where we can answer that question. pete: felt like a good idea to make a point but at this point i don't know. new allegations coming out of special counsel john durham's probe implicate cia. rachel: the agency knew links between russia and then candidate donald trump were not plausible, ei, not true, leading up to the 2016 election. will: alexandria hoff joins us from washington with more. reporter: happy easter n this particular filing specs counsel durham was responding to objections by michael sussman's defense what should be admissible during next month's trial. durham argued that the data presented is necessary and the government expects to present evidence if fbi, cia, concluded allegations made prior to the 2016 election involving donald trump and a russian bank were untrue and unsupported. explained in a filing while the fbi did not reach what is called the ultimate conclusion, quote, agency two, which is the cia concluded in early 2017 that the russian bank one data and russian phone provider one data was not technically plausible, contained gaps, conflicting with itself, user generated and not machine tool generated. specs counsel's office has not reached a definitive conclusion in this regard. durham said at trial internet data within a health care provider, trump tower, office of the president were exploited to create a false narrative against trump. sussman is accused of lying to the fbi for not disclosing he was working with hillary clinton's campaign when he came forward to report the information gathered. sussman has pleaded not guilty to all of this. his team petitioned to have the case dismissed. the judge denied that request this week. rachel, will, pete. rachel: thank you. will: a legal filing. not yet a proven allegation but it is huge and something we should pay attention to. rachel: massive. massive. will: exactly. no one else will. it will be suppressed. pete: count on it. coming up, signs of a recession but not at the white house. trump economic advisor stephen moore with what the biden administration should be doing to get things under control. ♪simply irresistible♪ ♪ ♪ ♪simply irresistible♪ applebee's irresist-a-bowls are back. now starting at $8.99. now that's eatin' good in the neighborhood. ♪. >> historically when we've had inflation above four and we've had unemployment below four essentially always since world war ii that's been followed by a recession within the next two years. pete: sobering words from clinton era treasury secretary larry summers, as economists continue to warn of growing threat of recession, warning everyone except the white house it seems. "new york post" editorial board writing this week, fears of recession are everywhere except at the clueless white house. let's bring in stephen moore, economic advisor to former president trump. thanks for being here. happy easter. thanks for having you what is the disconnect? is it politics? why is the white house not acknowledging some things other people are seeing? >> hey, peet, great to see you. happy easter to you as well, and all the folks at fox. look, this was a crisis, let's figure out how we got here, pete. when trump left office in january of 2021 the inflation rate was 1.5%, 1.5%. it was less than the fed target. here we are 14 months later, pete, we don't have 1.5% inflation rate, we have 8 1/2% inflation rate. gee, do you think there is a connection between biden taking over with his anti-american energy policies, with the massive multitrillions of dollars of spending, and we do have an inflation crisis right now. i call it biden inflation. it is getting worse. it is not getting better. pete, six months ago, they said it was transitory? it was going to go away. it is not going away. it is getting worse. this is a dangerous time for the economy but i still think if we could correct the policies, pete, i don't think a recession is inevitable. i lived through what happened in 1981 and 82 when reagan and paul volcker had to drain that carter inflation out of the economy. it was a killer. it caused a crash landing. i pray we don't see that now. pete: stephen, this white house has to know it is bad for people, bad politics, political liability if we go into recession. what should they be doing? if they look around the table saying we got to address this, what should it be? >> first of all, you're exactly right, inflation is terrible for the economy, especially middle class folks but it is terrible for an incumbent president. jimmy carter lost, got wiped out by reagan in 1980 because of inflation. what should president biden and congress be doing? number one, they have to start slashing government spending. this was caused, the match that lit this forest fire of higher inflation was those trillions of dollars of spending bills that we passed last year, that just flooded the economy with cheap dollars. the other thing we need to get going in my opinion is we've got to start producing american energy, get back to where we were under trump, where we were energy independent. i love how the president keeps blaming putin for this crisis. how was putin empowered to do this in the first place? because biden surrendered our energy leadership and we became dependent on countries like putin. we should be the number one producer of energy in the world. oil, gas, coal, everything we got. pete: stephen, they should do those things, but they likely won't. you heard what larry summers said. >> right. pete: does that mean we're potentially headed for a recession? >> if we continue to spend and borrow at this pace and the fed continues to pump money into the economy i think the inflation problem is going to get worse. there is absence of leadership in this white house. there is no, when you have pete buttigieg who is the transportation secretary, who says, pete, don't worry about the high gas prices, everybody can go out to buy an electric vehicle. what planet are these people on?

>> well i don't believe in shutting down the oil and gas industry. my husband does work in the oil industry. we have to come up with different ways than opening our reserves that will not be a long-term solution. as much as i would love to believe electric cars are the answer, they're not. the batteries are proven just to be as harmful to our environment and to our climate. i think we need to look at the picture as a whole. we saw a massive drop in fuel emissions when people were working from home in a hybrid work environment. there was much less stress on our planet. i think we need to take a look outside of the box. instead of just focusing on the one issue, well we have to get rid of gas, we have to get rid of all of these things causing harm to our planet but those may not be the only answers. >> i love, maries sachs i love your creative thinking on that. i think for moms, in particular, that kind of hybrid work environment is very family friendly. i think you're on to something. i really like common sense democrats like you. i'm liking that. so i'm going to end with you, susan, i mean you, syndie. tell us your thoughts on inflation and how is that affecting your vote in november. >> i agree. i don't think this should be a partisan issue. it should be about parents choice. it is important for us to have freedom and parents choice and parents deciding what is best for the kids. parents know what is best for their children. they're paying close attention. not just on the congressional race. it is looking at the governor, looking at the local races, such as city council. judges, judges are so important, who you elect on the bench as well as the school board, school board trustees, in orange county, we're selecting mary barclay for orange county board. that is important to both sides of the party. rachel: wow, such a perfect message for easter. i see so much bipartisanship on panel of republican and democrat mom. i think common sense rules the day today. thanks for joining us today. >> thank you for having me. >> happy easter. rachel: happy easter to both of you. >> all right. rachel: let's check in with meteorologist adam klotz for the fox weather forecast. adam: good morning, guys. the easter bunny hopping around behind me. pleasant on fox square. easter bunny, easter bunny, we worked on that. we worked on that so i could give you that forecast. one more time?

[laughter] will: i mean, look, rising crime is a problem across the nation, certainly in every urban center. i don't think any state is immune to more state of more suffering, california's among those suffering the most. pete, you and i talked about this earlier this week. in san francisco now in walgreens everything is under lock and key. not just the valuable items, not just the razors, but literally the toothpaste is under lock and key. you've got to flag down a store employee to get anything unlocked to purchase. there was a story earlier week where the united states postal service suspended mail delivery in santa monica because it was too unsafe for the mail carriers because of rising crime. i mean, this is the very basic function of government, very basic. rachel: and, by the way, tease are not traditionally crime of ridden -- crime-ridden areas. playa del rey, santa monica, very nice places to live with high rents and mortgage rates there, houses are expensive. so this is happening across the board, and you can't blame these dads for saying, one, for defending property in their area, but then saying, you know what? we can't keep doing this. we're dads, we need to take care of our families, we're getting the heck out of here and moving to texas. pete: i live in a decent part of new jersey where a newark car thief rings are operating. you have to lock your car every night or your car is gone. i've got neighbors whose houses have been broken into -- rachel: really? pete: right around the corner. rachel: i've been to your house, it's a nice area. pete: they can count on catch and release, and ultimately, when the cars are dumped in newark, they're almost never found. it's so -- to this day because they know there are no consequences for these criminal car theft rings or oh rings at all, and they just keep doing it. they pump juveniles into the system, local police are trying to do what they can, but there's a limit. will: when the settlers pushed west and began to build towns in places like colorado or kansas or oklahoma or texas and people gathered together and decided we're going to form some basic semblance of society, the very first form of government they brought together was a sheriff. rachel: of course. will: they didn't regulate big gulps first. [laughter] they regulated the safety and quality of life. we tear it down from the bottom up. we can't accomplish the most basic and first principles of government -- rachel: you're absolutely right. they care more about paper straws in california, those elected officials, than they do about the lifestyle and the day-to-day living and the safe tiff -- safety of their own citizens. pete: and part of the reason is we're told every aspect of american society is racist even though we've made amazing progress. my goodness, look around the world, the united states, the most tolerant and diverse country in the world, yet it's still racism we hear time and time again. we're heading toward the midterms, one of the promises the democrats have made is we're going to cancel student department. so when you see those low approval numbers for joe biden, some of it's in the middle, some of it's on the left of young people who say you told me my student debt was going to be gone. are you going to cancel it? now the white house has until august 31st to decide whether they're going to pause student loans or cancel them altogether. jen psaki was asked about student debt on that podcast where she dissed peter doocy? she also was asked about student debt. here's a portion of what she said. >> >> nobody's had to a pay a dollar, a cent, anything in student loans since joe biden's been president, and if that can help people in other parts of their lives, that's an important thing to consider. so between now and august 31st, it's either going to be extended or we're going to make a decision. the president's preference has been from the if beginning legislative action and a bill. you know why? because bills are more permanent, and congress could send him a bill, $10,000 in canceling student debt, sign it tomorrow, you can all come, you're invited to the south lawn, we'll seen it, we'll systemming bait, we'll have drinks with the money we save. rachel: heir bleeding young people, if you look at the polls, and this is all about that. of course, they used the pandemic to justify delaying people's student loans payments. the pandemic's other, let's -- can over, let's just be honest about it. now they're saying it's about racial justice. here is congresswoman pramila jayapal saying student debt cancellation is racial justice. student do debt cancellation is gender justice. student debt cancellation is economic justice. so this is a social justice play that they think will win them voters. makes me mad, makes me wonder why i had to pay my student loans off, which i did. sean and i didn't pay off our student loans until a few years ago, all of them. and so little by little with we chipped away, and we're trying to save for our kids, something our parents could not afforded to do. but, i mean -- will: there's no such thing as student loan cancellation. student loan debt cancellation. rachel: that's right. will: someone else has a paid for it. it doesn't magically go away. that money came from your tax dollars, and that money will go back to being paid for, instead of the loan being repaid, by the taxpayer. it's magical fairy tale land thinking the say you get something for nothing, and yet that's exactly the world that they live in. by the way, just quickly, just absolute orwellian torture of language, gender justice, everything is everything. rachel: right. will: but just back to ma magical thinking, what did jen psaki say at the end? we'll have you all here, and we'll have drinks with the money we saved. [laughter] we're going to cancel student loans and then have a bunch of cocktails in washington, d.c.? pete: that sounds about right. rachel: by the way, that's going to be paid off by people who didn't go to college, by the way. will: yeah. rachel: this is absolutely unbelievable that this is what they're serving up for their midterm agenda. pete: if you want a free rise for -- ride for college, you can join the military. you could do something for it. rachel: or get a job. pete: or get a job. but when you signed up to go to school, good decision or bad decision, you knew you were taking on debt. that's part of the life. and, frankly, the whole higher education system is jacked up in the way tuitions have been raised in order to meet the demand for more government-funded debt. it's all upside down. but to -- it's just garbage tweeting, racial justice, gender justice. i presume that white guys can get student loan debt erased just like black females -- rachel: i would not presume that. pete: shoulder not presume -- should i not presume that? rachel: maybe not. also remember these colleges are sitting on massive endowments, and what they're doing is they're raising their college tuition prices, offering less service services -- by the way, covid was a great excuse for the universities to cut back on services. they didn't give tuition breaks during this time, very few colleges did. but the fast vast majority full tuition, less services -- will:9 and the reason they exceed the rate of inflation, because the federal government subsidizes so much of them. they can get that money directly from the federal government. rachel: and also they have scores of diversity people who they're employing to manage all the social justice on the campus, so the prices keep going up for these big fat salaries for very unnecessary people for your higher education. depressing. so we'll just turn to some headlines with a fox news alert. two people are dead and nine others are shot in this pittsburgh. police say the two killed are juveniles. the shooting erupting earlier this morning. reportedly at a large airbnb party with about 200 people, mostly underage. others were also hurt wry trying to escape the gunfire. some people even reportedly jumping out of windows, and police say they are gathering evidence across several blocks and areas. there is no information on suspects so far. 100 former students from the same new jersey school are demanding answers after they are all diagnosed with a rare brain cancer. years after graduating. lawrence jones spoke with joe wittington last night on this misif tier yous with trend and illness. >> the numbers that are coming out of this are quite staggering. i kind of crunches some numbers myself, and if you put that on the same scale, it would be over 1600 people per 100,000, or over 160 times the general population. rachel: various radiological assessments are being conducted across the high school's campuses. and and pope francis delivered an easter sunday message, a pope to -- of hope to ukraine as russia's invasion rages on. >> translator: may there be peace for war-torn ukraine. -- by the violence and the it is distraction of the cruel -- [inaudible] in which it it dragged. rachel: many in the crowd donning yell elope and waving ukrainian -- yellow and waving ukrainian flags at in a show of support at the vatican's easter blessing. pete: we heard it live this morning as we kicked off the show at 6 a.m. good to see people back in person and focus on jesus on easter. you stayed right on the core of the gospel message. rachel: yeah. hopefully this'll be a call for people to come back to church. we know many churches are hurting right now because the pandemic caused such a great decrease in church attendance, and so many leaders of faith are hoping to call the flock back. will: looked like a nice crowd there. new technology to help border patrol catch migrants. the advance isment one company is making that could ease the burden for border agents. pete: plus, as we head out to fox square, joe concha joins us for his easter quiz. whoa, i didn't see this one -- rachel: i didn't either. pete: -- take home the "fox & friends" trophy. maybe testing our biblical knowledge? rachel: protestants always win.

[laughter] will: snl poking fun at elon musk's bid for twitter as one top tech insider bets there's a good sum of employees that are super excited about it because of the stagnant leadership twitter has. biotech entrepreneur vivek ramaswamy joins us now. good morning. you think there's some inside silicon valley who might be excited about the prospect of ownership by elon musk in. >> i think there's no doubt there's a small minority who does. i i just think at the employee ranks there's going to be three categories. first, there's just going to be the company employees who fortunate last couple of years haven't been doing much, and i think that's common across the world. what elon musk could come in and do, we're just going to get rid of them and save that money. now, i think it's a good choice, but there's going to be a bigger rank of the employees who disagree with the vision, that believe the company should be a censorship-driven pa machine, and my suggestion to elon if he's running the company is take the savings from the first group that you fire, take a third of that and just pay the other ones to leave, because the company will be better off if you just pay the people who are otherwise going to be an infection inside the company and not aligned with values like free speech. anden then there'll be the minority that actually agrees with it, and that might be enough. will: i'm interested in the board and what they have revealed about themselves. i want to show you this tweet from david saks, silicon valley entrepreneur. if the game is fair, elon will buy twitter. if the game is rigged, there will be some reason why he won't be able to, we're about to find out how deep the corruption goes. elon musk responded to that, by the way, with, "indeed." is it a are reflection of corruption, which i think is so, for twitter to reject this bid from elon musk? >> yeah. look, i think this is corruption of corporate america, full stop. this is just one symptom of it, will. so, first of all, the managerial class that sits on the board, they've played their classic maybook. they rejected the offer, in fact, they instituted a poise to son pill that would prevent elon from single-handedly being able to provide -- acquire the company. normally, they would be upare set by that -- upset with that. we agree with the vision, with we want you to accept it, but the reason we're not seeing it is the people who pretend to be the shareholders, large institutions like vanguard, which is now the largest shareholder of the company, not elon, they pretended to be the share holders when, in fact, the clients' whose min they're managing disagree with the positions those institutions take in representing their views to the board. so that is how deep this cancer goes. i do think it is a rigged system. but it's not just rigged at the board level, it's rigged at the level of who even gets to claim to be a shareholder of the company where these man managerial class institution ises are. if. will: by the way, it was fascinating how little stock in twitter those board members actually held. so on the topic of how deep the corruption goes, charlie gasparino pointed this out, here's a headline in the new york post, crazy elon musk making major push at twitter bid, but now facing federal heat. pointing out there's now an sec investigation, the timing of which is at least suspicious. the minute he makes a bid for twitter, the federal government's taking an interest in elon musk. >> first, the board tries to stop him. if they can't stop him, henning the apparent shareholders, like the institutions, etc., will try to stop him. if they can't, they then delegate the dirty work to the alphabet soup of the federal government bureaucracy, the sec at times works for institutions like blackrock where first they're passing esg rules that make into law the kinds of illiberal values that black o.k. and others have been pushing in the private sector. they're going to use the federal regulators to do the dirty work by saying he didn't file his 13-d correctly, an administrative paperwork where you own over 5% of a company and have activist intentions. they would not have gone after anybody else, but when the situation, when push comes to shove, that's what they're going to resort to, and one way or another, they're not going to let this happen. will: the employees, the board, the institutional investors and the federal government standing against elon musk. how deep does the corruption go? very deep. vivek ramaswamy, good to talk to you this

editorial calling it in this time of war i propose with give up god. they said jews will celebrate the holiday of passover. they were on the way to slaughter the first born sons of egyptians. the forefathers marked door posts with lamb's blood. in this time of war and violence i propose we pass over something else. god. it's conflicting to give attention to something so petty this morning when there's so much more important, so much to be felt more deeply on easter sunday than a few cynical words from the new york times. however, an editorial is a process of choices and the quote, unquote paper of record has made choices. not simply to propagate the idea that we should move god but to do so on easter morning and that i suppose it news worthy. rachel: the op-ed goes on to say it wasn't just like i'm passing over on god, it's saying we all should. and by the way, you should not teach your children about god. that was another message in this op-ed. totally out of step and out of touch with mainstream america and by the way, our own shannon bream's whose book is ranking number one or two on the new york times best seller at they this very moment. but, yeah, i mean, completely out of touch, pete. pete: it's true. we are obviously the battles of the flesh that play out across the world in conflicts we wish weren't happening but we're also in a spiritual battle. god is present. the holy spirit is with us. to take this view on this weekend is to take a view that that rejects god and we're not surprised from the new york times. rachel: no. pete: here's a portion of the op-ed, perhaps now is a good time to teach your children to pass over god, to be as unlike him as possible. in your homes, in your schools, in your communities, there is a battle going on and a spiritual one and we know exactly where the new york times at least in this op-ed on this weekend stands on that. will: it was a downer to come into the show to read that. i'm reading this, really, on easter, that's intentional from them. all you have to do is be intentional in your own way of remembering why this day is so significant. rachel: that's why christians have that hope, have that joy. i read that op-ed and i honestly felt really sad for the person who wrote this because i think that person believes that this world that his life is the end of everything. it is the end. and for all of us we know this is just a stop on our way to something even better and that gives us so much hope and joy on easter. i'm not going to let the new york times bring me down this morning, not on easter, new york times. >> as they like to say, when someone tells you who they are, believe them. that is the new york times. rachel: that's right. >> by the way, it brings you back to the -- you do such a great job, both of you, bringing it down to the deeper level, what is it all about. the debates we have about politics go down to whether or not you believe in the fall of -- that human nature is in need of redemption and it can be perfected on earth. you know that man is not perfect, we are all sinful. we know that in our own lives and we need a savior to be redeemed and politics and government won't save us. human utopia is not possible. we have a share i don't remembes who has risen. it's the battle of the ideas one faith level. rachel: i wonder why do people who are -- tend to be more secular on the left works want to take god out of our culture, they fight differently than we do and we -- in terms of politics. it makes sense to me. if you think this is the be all, end all, you got put it all in here and if you think that there's somewhere better that you can go and how you behave here on earth will determine where you go, you're going to fight a little different. so just because it seems like winningon the -- they're winnine secular left at this time right now doesn't necessarily mean that. the attitudes are different. >> since we're sharing a spiritual reflection this morning, i began a book i'm truly enjoy, written by pastor tim keller. it's called counterfeit god. it is playing on the idea that you don't get a choice whether or not you worship. you only have a choice of what you worship. you will worship something. people put something at the top of their hierarchy pyramid, whatever that may be, you put at the top of your pyramid, money or beauty or politics will ultimately betray you and you can do a lot worse than placing something at the top of the pyramid than a moral code that professes forgiveness, holiness, a whole battery of moral guidance in life that leads not to just a better place on this earth but as we all aspire to, a better place beyond this. rachel: eternal life. >> it's liberating. rachel: amen. >> if you're a slave to sin as all of us have been and begin to be in our lives, you're a slave to that, some other idol you hold up. we don't profess to be perfect people. rachel: heck no. >> heck no indeed. i guess chills thinking about the reality of the gift that's been given to us. rachel: that's why we were so blessed to have cardinal dough lain on. i think he -- dolan on. he be puts this discussion into perspective. it's not about the negativity. there's always hope at easter. take a listen. >> a blessed easter to all of you and wouldn't you agree with me that we need a little easter right this very moment? usually we sing that as christmas time. but something tells me we really need the message, the light, the hope, the life, the goodness of easter. because we've been going through good friday. you look at ukraine. you look at the tensions in the world. you look at the violence in our city, you look at that subway atrocity. you look at that time division in our country, you look at the tensions that we've got. yeah, within our families, among our friends and honestly within ourselves and, yep, even in the church that i serve. you see a lot of darkness, you see a lot of sin. sometimes we're tempted to think that good friday is going to have the last word. uh uh, never. god always has the last word. in the resurrection of his son, what he said is good friday does not have the last word. darkness turns to light. evil turns to goodness. he despair turns to hope and death turns to life ever lasting and if you don't think we need the resilience, the confidence, the hope and the joy that that gives, you must be on another planet. so have a very blessed easter. rachel: indeed, what a nice little -- that was a quick sermon. >> it was. rachel: it was the fastest sermon ever. all of christianity summed up in about two minutes. thank you, cardinal, nicely done. >> newal he lee gas stations are coming out -- new allegationses that john durham's probe is implicating the cia. >> they were saying the allegations were not plausible. rachel: alexandria huff joins us live from washington. happy easter to you. >> reporter: happy easter to you three. this is asserted within a friday filing. in the filing, durham said the government plans to present evidence showing that the cia concluded that the trump russia allegationses were untrue and unsupported. he explained in the file that while the fbi didn't reach an ultimate conclusion, quote, agency two which is the cia concluded in early 2017 that the russian bank one data and russian phone provider data was not technically plausible, didn't withstand technical scrutiny, contained gaps, conflicted with itself and was user created and not machine tool created. it continues the special counsel's office did not reach a definitive conclusion in this regard. durham revealed at trial the government would establish internet data obtained from a healthcare provider and trump tower were exploit todd create -- exploited to create a false narrative against trump. this will play out in michael sussmann's trial. he is accused of not saying who he was working for when it came forward to report if information gathered. the team petitioned to have it dismissed. the judge denied that this week. rachel: thank you so much for that. this is a huge story. and giving people a lot of hope that perhaps the truth will come out in this matter. it's sad because after so many years, people's interests or at least the mainstream media's interest in the story is definitely not there. will, i have to tell you, you had an excellent interview, one thing that made me think the stories were connected, yeah, the left and big tech and now our federal government are all freaking out about elon musk possibly taking over this company. it's not just because they want to control speech. it's because i think they're afraid of we'll find out if elon musk is at the top about how they're controlling speech, what are censorship tools they're doing, how are they identifying conservatives, how skewed is this. this is another example. i hope the truth comes out. >> i think you're right. i think there's a lot of dirty laundry yet to air and when it comes to the durham probe, there will be -- i would suspect there will be a lot of light to shine on what has been a very dirty process over the last couple years. to be clear, the durham allegations are filings be in a court, not yet allegations that are proven but this is a long and slow investigation, seemingly done with a deep level of seriousness and if he can back up the types of things we're beginning hear in the legal filings, you're talking about explosive information. >> because he's done it the way that you're supposed to through legal filings and then we report on it as opposed to leaks that are used as the justification for possible legal filings or at least rumors of them. now it's -- i mean, cia, fbi, doj, campaign, across the board -- >> he alleged the documents were manufactured. >> manufactured. misrepresenting i'm not from the clinton campaign,s sussmann, but he was on behalf -- it points more and more to an actual concocted narrative that they knew they could use the levers of government to push. rachel: where do those people, the 60 million people who voted for donald trump go to get their four years back after all of these lives that absolutely tainted that. >> maybe 2024 they'll get their four years back. rachel: maybe. >> we've got a fewed additional headlines this morning starting with a fox news alert. police arrested a suspect in connection with a shooting at a south carolina mall, it left nine people shot, five others hurt. the suspect was charged with unlawful carrying of a pistol and is expected to face more charges. police say it wasn't a random act of violence, rather they believe a conflict between armed individuals led to the gunfire. officials are seeking two other suspects. and 100 former new jersey high school students are demand aing answers after they're diagnosed with rare brain cancers. years after graduating. lawrence jones spoke with the whistleblower who sounded off on the medical mystery. >> so i started this about seven months ago, soon after my sister was diagnosed with the glioblastoma. the same day my wife was diagnosed with an acoustic neuroma, a benign brain tumor and i have an acoustic neuroma and it hit me like a bolt of lightning that we have a problem here and i started to figure out how extensive the problems was. >> various radio logical assessments are being conducted across the school's campus. and retailers are getting egg-cited for easter. a national retail federation survey said americans would spend $20 million this year. inflation is affecting spending habits, driving consumers to seek the most value for their dollar this holiday. a political cartoon even showing the easter bunny feeling the effects of inflation, giving a little girl a tiny easter basket. [laughter] >> would have been bigger in years past. and those are your headlines. rachel: yeah, that's the biden easter basket that she was carrying there. all right. well, the opening night of the usfl did not disappoint. as the birmingham stallions outlast the new jersey generals. >> abby horncek is with skip holt this morning. good morning, abby. >> reporter: good morning. that's right, skip holt is the winningest head coach in the usfl so, coach, congrats on that. >> i'm carrying a record this morning. but the next game's at 1:00 so we'll find out. >> reporter: i don't know what's going on behinds us but i think they're here to congratulate you. you know, we talked to jaymar smith earlier. whats was your reaction when he scored that touchdown after you guys were kind of falling behind to the generals throughout the night. >> i watched him do it for four years in college and having the opportunity to be involved with jaymar for a long time and i couldn't be more excited for him. i mean, the patience showed, the way that he has been involved with this team, supported alex as the starting quarterback, for him to get his opportunity to make the most of it, i'm really exciterd for him. he's a great young man. we've been in each other's lives for about six years so i'm really proud of him. >> reporter: that's really special. in general when you're talking to the guys before the game, saying this is the inaugural season and the usfl, it's a big deal. what was your game plan going into last night? >> we talked about just playing the next play. there was going to be 150 of plays in the football game, it could come down to a one play game. you don't know when they play will be. you have to handle adversity. we have to play for 60 minutes and keep playing that rock. i thought the defense kept up in the football game and jaym a ar did a great job leading the team in the second half. if you drop a pass don't worry about it. don't let a play beat us twice. i was proud of the way the guys came together. there were defensive guys in the offensive huddle, encouraging guys. it was a really neat emotional moment for me watching the guys come together after really only being together for three and-a-half weeks and the way they supported each other and the bond that's been built in a short time has been incredible. >> reporter: speaking of the bond, i was telling everyone earlier that special moment before the game when the guys were like hey, guys, we've got to pray. was that something that you came up with? >> no, this was something they brought to me after every practice, we say the our father. i told the team if you're uncomfortable with it come see me and it's really been just the opposite. now it's more than just the our father, they're praying for each ownership. it's really been a neat moment and here on easter sunday, to have the opportunity to talk about the way these guys have come together and the difference that god's making in many of their lives is a special moment. >> reporter: god bless you, god bless the game of football and the stallions. thank you for coming on with me. >> and the usfl for sure. thank you very much. i appreciate it. >> reporter: thank you, coach. guys. >> wonderful. thank you, abby. as mentioned there's a triple header today including the tampa bay bandits and pittsburgh maul he er -- maulers. >> coming up, unused -- there's a picture right there. like father, like son. big win. unused covid funds in new mexico may soon be going to college scholarships for illegal immigrants. the man hoping to unseat the state's democrat leader says this is beyond disserving. he joinses us next. -- he joins us next. it's dr. scholl's time. our insoles are designed with unique massaging gel waves, for all-day comfort and energy. find your relief in store or online. my asthma felt anything but normal. ♪ ♪ it was time for a nunormal with nucala. nucala reduces asthma attacks it's a once-monthly add-on treatment for severe eosinophilic asthma. not for sudden breathing problems. allergic reactions can occur. get help right away for swelling of face, mouth, tongue, or trouble breathing. infections that can cause shingles have occured. don't stop steroids unless told by your doctor. tell your doctor if you have a parasitic infection. may cause headache, injection site reactions, back pain, and fatigue. ask your asthma specialist about a nunormal with nucala. >> russia's deadline passes for ukrainian troops in mariupol to surrender, the kremlin is warning any fighters left if the area to leave or die. we have a live report from ukraine, where despite the destruction and devastation churches are still gathering on this easter. matt. >> reporter: good morning. happy easter to everyone in the united states. we are in the lviv region, the western portion of ukraine. yesterday, there were four russian missiles intercepted here in this area. this morning, we are at the greek catholic church, actively taking in refugees from all over the country. the church has four services today. you can probably hear one of the ongoing services in the background and they are packed. those people that have been forced to stand outside in the cold and in the snow. and as church is going on, we can still hear explosions in the distance. ukraine military exercises. just a saddening reminder of country at war and we spoke to one refugee here, a young woman from mariupol, that woman says per grandparents were murdered, had they couldn't even recover their grandfather's body because his apartment was so devastated and she describes what life was like in mariupol. >> i don't --s there's sirens all the time and explosions when we are traveling. it is very difficult with the sirens and explosions and if we saw the flight and what we should do and where we should hide it is very emotional. it's a very emotional feeling. the feeling was not good and that's why we came here. >> reporter: that woman has now been given shelter, food and warmth at this church. we interviewed the priest. the priest said he asked some refugees including young children if they would like to go back to their ohms across ukraine. they said no because they consider their homes graveyards where their loved ones are buried. we're on the western side of ukraine, closer to europe. there's a lot of catholics, a lot of faith. there's a lot of refugees coming from the eastern side where there's not a lot of faith or religion. some of the child refugees who are brought here today will be attending church for the first time in their lives. back to you. >> matt fin, powerful imagery and words, thank you very much. if i may, real quick, matt. one quick question, overnight reports said president zelenskyy said russia is increasingly likely to potentially use nuclear weapons. are you hearing anything about an escalation? >> reporter: russia is straight-up warning it will be firing more missiles in and around kyiv and western intelligence officials say they expect russia to be regrouping right now and to come back with a greater force than perhaps what we have seen, perhaps a scorched earth attempt. so obviously everyone is hoping that nothing elevates to the level of a nuclear threat. >> absolutely. all those refugees, you all those people in our prayers. matt, thanks for bringing it to us. stay safe. >> reporter: sure. >> in new mexico, a law passed by the governor will allow for covid-19 relief funds to be used as college scholarship money for anyone including illegal immigrants. and even the new york times is now digging into this funding experiment. reporting, quote, building on earlier tuition assistance a programs, the measure allocates $75 million during the 2023 fiscal year of which 63 million comes from the covid relief funds, its inclusive, covering tuition for prison inmates and unauthorized migrant as they put it. here with reaction, new mexico gubernatorial candidate mark ron ketty. help us out with this. not only is it tuition for illegals, but it's money that was supposed to be spent on co-i have. how are they going to -- covid. how are they going to get away with it? >> it's a one time thing. you have money for reoccurring costs that you pull out of covid dollars here and this is nothing new unfortunately for this governor and especially our state legislature here, what they regularly do is start to stuff things into bills and make things and create incentives for people who cross illegally. this is the latest. we're talking about a governor who gave stimulus checks to people illegally when 40% of our small businesses went out of business in new mexico, we were one of the most locked down states if the country and we're now offering stimulus checks to people here illegally to help pay for gas and also what we're dealing with, with inflation as well, so that's just part of what's happening. professional licenses too here, pete. they also he provide that as well as well as driver's licenses. and in fact, what ends up happening is we get a draw that pulls people into the state with an overwhelmed border and border patrol that can't handle it. >> effectively the policy of the democrat party in new mexico and elsewhere is full services for illegals. they have new pots of money to do it now. >> right. they'll take it from anywhere. even if they have to pull it from one place and stick it in another place, that's what they'll do. don't worry about funding down the road. they'll figure it out. here's the other thing, we're largely funded by oil and gas here in the state of new mexico. they're also trying to drive oil and gas out of business so they want to cut off the very funding source that down the road would help to be able to pay for services for hard working new mexicans. we're looking at this, going where does this end and where do we go as as a state if you have a state government that is literally trying to kill your own budget. >> mark, you're running for governor, should you get that opportunity a lot to tackle for sure. mark, thank you so much for your time. >> thanks, pete. >> you got it. still ahead, grandson of the great billy graham, edward graham, shares and easter message of hope. plus, the easter bunny is spotted and is joining us live on fox square as we serve up a sunday morning feast. look at that. bunny with a bunny. ♪ here we go... remember, mom's a kayak denier, so please don't bring it up. bring what up, kayak?
