his or her obligation, it is shameful. >> police are charging the man accused of attacking dave chappelle with felony assault with a deadly weapon. >> i was the audience, you were the comedian sat and listen. people are emboldened now. >> what was that moment for you when you were handed the baseball. >> i was so happy. i said thank you and i hugged him. >> that was a pretty cool moment that i definitely won't forget. ♪ >> pete: good morning, welcome to "fox & friends" thursday morning. live shot of philadelphia. i will say one thing, brian, we were commenting on that moment with the baseball toronto. a philadelphia filly's fan probably wouldn't do that. >> brian: absolutely. he would probably charge the guy guyfor it do you have venmo? >> pete: throw it back on the field. you want this? go get it. [laughter] >> ainsley: are they known to be really ruthless? >> pete: oh yeah. >> brian: famously rude fans. canada and america. >> ainsley: fan caught the ball and gave it to the little boy wearing the jersey. >> brian: talking before the game how is he an aaron judge fan and judge hits the ball 427 feet and lands in front of this guy's feet. he grabs it and without hesitation gives it to the kid and says we are going to be friends for life. >> ainsley: really sweet. >> pete: we will have them on the show coming up later. >> brian: how great for the yankee p.r. department to make sure aaron judge meets the 9-year-old the next day. >> pete: smart. >> ainsley: he will never forget that he will tell that story at wedding and grandkids and put the ball on the shelf. >> brian: pete is in for steve. >> ainsley: glad you had are here. >> pete: good to be here. we start with a couple of things joe biden said yesterday at the white house. so the fallout from the leaked preliminary draft of the overturning of roe v. wade continues and the hyperbole from the left and the democrat party continues. a new angle was unveiled, shall we say by joe biden from the podium when he was -- he talked about his it changing stance on roe v. wade and life issues and invoked a unique phrase to describe the rights that he thinks a child might have. watch. >> this is about a lot more than abortion. i hadn't read the whole opinion at that time. but this reminds me of the debate with robert bork. bork believed the only reason you had inherent rights is because the government gave it them to you. if you go back and look at the opening comments bork-biden when i was questioning him as chairman. i said i believe i have the rights that i have not because the government gave them to me which you believe, but because i'm just a child of god. i exist. >> pete: many people have pointed out he made the pro-life argument by invoking i see you as a child of god. >> ainsley: he is saying that the parent has the right to decide, the mother does, because she is a child of god. but many on the right are saying this is auto so ironic what about the child inside her who has the right as well? and you will hear pro-lifers say it's ironic he makes this argument to support the right to abort unborn children of god. beth baughman who is a political fundraiser biden literally just made the case against abortion. house republican twitter account says they used a ronald reagan phrase. they said to counter biden they said everyone who is for abortion has already been born. >> brian: interesting. it's a fascinating bebaited we haven't gotten into but it's been on almost every kitchen table since 1973. now it's front and center. decision supposed to be at the end of june. a couple perform things. if they would and this brief ends up being the overturning of roe v. wade, that will be it. we deal with the ramifications. can you imagine if the political pressure over the next supreme court get the supreme court justice to flip forever, politic also play a role in a place it never should. i don't know if i should vote this way because of political pressure. and somebody who happens to be working the supreme court. gets word of the supreme court. it wants to leak out a story to put pressure on a justice. no matter that -- where you stand on the most controversial issue yet, that will forever affect the court that is supposed to be inoculated from all of that that was part of the 98 pages? justice alito's. >> ainsley: aren't you devout catholic joe biden. second time you used the word to child. choose to abort a child. acknowledging it's a child. not the only outrageous thing he said yesterday. he also went after trump supporters. 50% of the country, listen. >> what happens if you have states changing the law saying that children who are lgbtq q can't be in classrooms with other children? is that legit under the way that the decision is written? what are the next things that are going to be attacked? this maga crowd is the most extreme organization that's existed in american history -- in recent american history. >> brian: this is the probably the most intentional thing. sometimes he misspeaks. that's not a mistake. that is clearly game on. and this is very similar to what we heard three or four days ago where they looked at the midterms and thought their best chance is to try to tell everybody we're so much better than donald trump. you don't want to go back to the old days and we speculated on how much was better back those days thinking about moderates and independence. now he is labeling millions of americans. >> the great unifier, the most extreme organization movement in the history of the country. here is senator ted cruz once that resonated with him. >> there was one woke little left wing twit who decide thed the hell with his or her obligations to the justice they work for, to hell with their obligations to the court, to hell with their obligations to the rule of law, that they would, instead, try to sneak it out in order to put political pressure on the justices and intimidate them into changing their votes. i think it is a law clerk and very likely a law clerk for one of the three liberal justices. that means there are 12 suspects. and the fact that we have someone willing to be unethical and break the law also means we have master criminal at the court. i think they have left a an email. we will find this person. and when they are found. they are going to be fired off on the spot. >> brian: talking about the leaker there. >> ainsley: did you a great job. that was awesome interview last night. you were filling in for jesse's show. it was great. watch the whole interview it was fantastic y'all touched on so many different issues. each justice had four clerks. so he is saying since there are three liberal justices that means 12 suspects in his opinion. you also asked him you said but joe biden came into office promising to unite our country. and he said well, i will give the president some credit on this, brian. he did united us. we all think is he terrible president doing a terrible job when it comes to the border. when it comes to immigration. when it comes to crime. >> pete: he knows what a terrible job -- they are ideologically dedicated to what they are doing. they know how unpopular it is. they believe this preliminary decision is a life boat for them that they can cling to and they are going to ratchet up the rhetoric of extremism. when you look at what they are doing with other departments as far as targeting extremists. once have you labeled an entire political movement a a maga movement. the most extreme. what limits do you have on targeting those people? none. who is calling for lbgt children to not be allowed in the classroom. >> brian: nobody. >> pete: who is calling for interracial marriage? nobody. they are creating straw men of the next steps of what this will look like knowing full well within our law and within the constitution discriminating on race, discriminating on sex, discriminating on sexual orientation is not something you can do in this country. on the issue of life and how it was decided, they know how precarious that was. ruth bader ginsburg pointed that out. they know this was that fragile. the extremism of the pro-abortion party has had a grip on the democratic party for 50 years they will not let it go without pointing at donald trump. because, you know what? for everyone who voted for donald trump and i was at a diner on tuesday. this was because of him. i will appoint pro-life justices. they are there and i will vote that way. if this leaker at the supreme court change this decision i should think it goes the other way. find me one of those five conservative justices that says it's time to back down after what was done with them and political philosophy. i think this holds and conservings who have within been pro-life the entire life send it to the states. people get to choose in state legislature. >> ainsley: went on to question ted cruz about the leaker. the left is targeting you a because you care who leaked this information and what this means. will this set a precedent going forward? you hear the left on all the shows staying we don't care who leaked it. we just care what was leaked. we care about the opinion. but wait until, we need to hold on to soundbites. wait until it's leaked from a republican law clerk which i don't condone. i don't condone. it effects the vote, it effects a policy that they're against. or for. and then it's going to change the law because some -- maybe some clerk would change. some justice would change their mind because of it. we need to hold onto the soundbites because then they will care. >> brian: if he really wanted to be president for the whole country, mr. president, if you want to do good in the midterms, if you would take the maga moment and label them the most extreme organization in the history of the country he would go 79 years old. i have had a 50 year career concerned about the future of the country, give me another plan. i don't want tens of millions of people being labeled an extreme movement answered might also add i don't think this is going to work. he insulted so many people just now intentionally and it's just the beginning. you watch the ripple effect from msnbc, to cnn and all the senators and congress people. >> ainsley: criticize the entire maga group. donald trump supporters. we will have lara trump on reminds of hillary clinton calling republicans deplorables. walmart shoppers we are proud of maga and going to walmart and shop. >> pete: other levers of government they controlled and declared certain people are targets. now you named that as the maga group? >> brian: not donald trump the maga group. >> pete: no laughing matter how dave chappelle is responding to on stage attack. >> ainsley: maverick has landed. tom cruise epic entrance to the tom gun sequel that has everybody talking ♪ highway to the danger zone ♪ if you've been living with heart disease, reducing cholesterol can be hard, even when you're taking a statin and being active. but you can do hard. you lived through the blizzard of '96... 12 unappreciative bosses...

counter-terrorism he knows all the secrets of our threat. >> pete: the maga crowd here in new york. >> brian: if he could please protect us from them. how unbelievable is it that this 23-year-old got there, stood, there was able to get on stage with a -- not a gun, a fake gun with a knife i was talking to tyrus last night. snoop dogg and worked. no, no. you don't get on the stage. even a stage that wide. you combine the private security with the staff security that guy doesn't get on. you should be able to stop him. that's a problem with the hollywood bowl security. i think you have to revisit all you do now from seinfeld to chris rock. >> ainsley: front row. >> brian: a rageaholic according to his naples neighbors. lives with his brother. is he a wannabe rapper. and now he has his moment in the sun. >> pete: still alone that was four or five second into it they are alone. how does he get into what looks like a gun with a knife inside. >> brian: should be metal detectors. >> pete: $30,000 bail? >> ainsley: it should be more. >> pete: $30,000 bail? i hope he can't post it. say he does. the guy runs on stage and tries to attack d.a. chappelle publicly and poo fennelly released the next day for 30 grand? that's not a justice system. >> ainsley: back of the stage that's when the security guard they got him and nabbed him and there is a video of him being put into the ambulance and you can see his arm is like mangled and they say they think that he twisted his arm. it was apparently snapped. his right eye was bloody and he had a bloody nose and the crowd was booing him as he was being taken away in the ambulance. >> brian: brother said he really likes him. he wrote a rap song called save chappelle. is he an absolute whack job this was predicted by joe rogan and others. after the will smith slap that's horrible precedent for comedy clubs. he joined tucker last night. >> if you really think about a standup club like a comedy club. it is the town square. we always sort of talk about the digital town square that is twitter. but, a stand-up club is a town square. a person gets up on a 3-foot riser and amplifies their voice and shares their opinions and we somehow decided the town square was an ant quaked idea. people are emboldened now. and it's like the same thing that's happening on comedic stages is really happening on commercial airline flights. like people are now somehow feeling like they can physically put their hands on other people of they disagree with. >> pete: yeah. this is also a culture and moment where those on the left have deemed certain speech itself to be violence. and what about when you are assaulted with violence and speech you don't like? well, it's justification for actual violence. and then you see examples of it where it isn't held to account. where everyone holds. >> brian: will smith sits down and gets his award that night? >> pete: exactly. >> brian: except being tossed for his behavior. everyone is more famous. i'm a loser 23-year-old living in my brother's house? how do i make a name for myself? rush the stage at the hollywood bowl. >> ainsley: people rioting in the streets and breaking into people's businesses who have nothing to do with the issue. they didn't get in trouble. in fact, kamala harris was raising money to get them out if they were arrested. and how about when maxine waters says get in people's faces at the gasoline stations because she doesn't agree with trump and she wanted him impeached? how do we get to this point where we are inciting violence because we disagree with someone. >> brian: wherever you go a big security check from now on like what is happening in weekend, everyone is revisiting their security. you have to. >> brian: 26 minutes after the hour. federal

expeditiously to bring it back down. against this back drop today raised interest rate by half a percentage point getting supply and demand back in balance gives us 2% inflation which is what gives the economy a footing where people can lead successful economic lives and not worry about inflation. so, yes, there may be some pain associated with getting back to that. >> pete: the fed also

is that fair? >> oh my gosh. well, good morning, ainsley. >> ainsley: good morning. >> so outrageous. not that we expect a whole lot of joe biden but even this was totally ridiculous to label the maga crowd as one of the most extreme political outfits in history. give me break. i guess he forgot about the roughly $2 billion worth of damage during the summer of 2020 riots caused by antifa and blm but, of course, we never heard him say a word about those people. look, in case joe biden is interested in who the maga crowd is, ainsley, these are people that love america. that get up in the america, they go to work. they pay their taxes. they go to church. they believe in the police. they believe that we should be a sovereign nation with borders. they don't want to pay triple what we have -- had to pay now in gas and groceries from about 18 months ago. these are people that want to achieve the american dream and don't want the government smothering it for them and, yes, joe biden, they believe that, like our founders, we shouldn't have a centralized government power at the federal level in washington, d.c. and that we, the people, at the state level should be able to make decisions for ourselves that is what this country is all about. joe biden is missing the bigger point here. the maga movement was started because of failed politicians exactly like joe biden. because american people were sick and tired of getting fed the same old garbage by politicians who would go to washington, d.c. and work for themselves and never work for the people. that's why this movement is founded. it's people that love america. i know i have heard a lot of people talk about it like the deplorables comment. we heard from hillary clinton not too long ago. it really fired people up. they are terrified, ainsley, that donald trump is going to run again in 2024. and that he is going to win. they have seen in this election cycle alone, he is 55-0. in these primary races it just shows that the momentum is still behind. the party is still behind him and half the country i believe is behind him. >> ainsley: you brought up the hillary clinton soundbite from 2016. listen to this. >> you could put half of trump supporters into what i call the basket of deplorables, the racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, islam phobic, you name it. >> ainsley: that did not help her have. they not learned from the past? >> of course they haven't. they try the same on thing doing the same thing over and over expecting different results. that a s. part and parcel to the democratic party this did not help hillary clinton it insulted a lot of americans which is what you heard joe biden do in that sound bite you guys played yesterday from him. did not help at all look at his approval rating it is absolutely in the tank. they are doing everything and anything to mobilize people on their side of the aisle. the entire half of the country, people that supported donald trump are the most extreme political movement. give me a break. absolutely outrageous. >> ainsley: this abortion opinion could change. that was the first draft. but the conservative justices are saying they want to take abortions back to the state. but then joe biden's reaction to that is conservatives might try to ban lgbtq kids from the classroom. he is saying that is next. but that has never been on the table and that would be discrimination, unconstitutional. why do you think he is saying that? >> fear among. this is all they have left. donald trump are appointed the first openly gay cabinet member in ric grenell this hyperbole they are trying to use whether it's interracial marriage lgbtq, issues it's all crazy this is their hail mary as they head toward the midterms. people on their side of the aisle the democratic party is not excited about anything joe and kamala have done. not excited about anything the house and senate have done while they have democrat control. so they are doing anything they can. and this is a scare tactic, it's fear-mongering, standard operating procedure for the democrats. >> ainsley: lara, thanks for coming on. >> thanks, ainsley. >> ainsley: swiping right, how a new credit card for conservatives is pushing back against the woke movement. a school vowing to keep politics out of the classroom is seeing huge enrollment numbers. hear why their curriculum is winning over parents ♪ and we're coming to your city ♪ going to play our guitar and sing you a country song ♪ ♪ ♪ dry eye symptoms keep driving you crazy?

>> ainsley: and republicans are unleashing on the person who leaked the supreme court draft roe v. wade opinion. >> pete: mark meredith is at the white house to explain. >> good morning to you guys. the issue of abortion is once again dominating the debate not only here in washington but really all across the country. take a look at some of the protest was happening in cities coast to coast both pro-choice and pro-life advocates to take to the streets to share their thoughts on this forthcoming leaked supreme court opinion. california lawmakers adding abortion protections to the state constitution all in an effort to make it harder to repeal. protect the building, workers and justices itself. that's done little to stop protesters from showing up. as for president biden, the issue of abortion and the future of the court looming heavily political agenda. he has called this ruling a quote radical decision. he also says the woman's right to choose goes well beyond what's engrained in u.s. law. >> i said i believe i have the rights that i have not because the government gave them to me, which you believe but because i'm just a child of god. i exist. >> also interesting just yesterday the president made a pivot to the politics of all of this is i saying that there is major changes underway to american norms. i thought this was interesting e didn't mention trump by name. he mentioned the trump agenda called it out. here's what he had to say. >> what are the next things that are going to be attacked? because this maga crowd is really the most extreme political organization exists in american history. >> republicans ready to fire right back insisting it's the president in a far left agenda causing the country to go to the extreme. we also also hearing from texas senator ted cruz. >> what we saw with this leak from the supreme court it's the culmination of a multi-year campaign by the democrats to politicize the courts, to politicize the justice system. to say weaponize it. to attack the supreme court. >> but the white house may have some limited options when it comes to addressing this ruling once it is finally issued. instead, we are hearing from the president and others insisting that they're going to make this more a campaign issue. urging voters to elect more pro-choice an democrats. of course, that will just bring this issue more front and center going into the midterms and already there was already no shortage of topics that lawmakers were going to face out on the trail. pete, brian and ainsley back on this cinco de mayo. >> pete: thank you, mark. >> ainsley: go have a margarita after work. >> i'm ready right now. >> brian: mark has the tie on today. >> i thought of you. trying to look good for you, bro. >> ainsley: you look great. >> brian: you went with the college knot wrap it around twice and pull it down. >> pete: is that what it is you can have a markar. arita.we were all listening to k you said something that i think in the break or in his segment you said it almost feels like they. the maga crowd to take the bait. so many issues they are under water in. they want to ratchet up this war who is extreme or not. that may be the case. >> ainsley: interesting talked about abortion and child of god and pivoted to maga in their back room discussions they have to talk about how are we going to address abortion? what do we want joe biden to say? and talk as a group and tell him talking points and how maybe it to address this maybe they did say pivot to the maga crew. talk about how disparaging they are and how extreme they are instead of abortion. >> brian: eric swalwell says they are going to ban interracial marriage. going to put kids, lgbtq kids in separate classrooms than other kids. what are you talking about? well, guess what? >> ainsley: called discrimination that will never happen. >> brian: what does that have to do with justice alito's february brief that was not a final -- it was just a draft and was not the final decision. so you get off -- you are not talking about inflation. you are not talking about the border. you are not talking about afghanistan. you are not talking about build back better's failure. you are not talking about anything. you are talking about basically the disparaging of millions of people extremists wants as main tenets a strong border, fiscal responsibility. try not to get involved in foreign wars a group that gave you more agreements. peace agreements in the middle east in three years than the previous 50 years. so, you just have instead of a party, now you have an extremist organization. what is the mindset to saying that? >> pete: well, if you built levers of government to target extreme i.s then you are opening the door targeting of an entire political movement. not to mention, you know, the extreme views of supporting the police and thinking america is a good country. >> brian: not defunding them. >> pete: not let 8-year-olds make a decision whether they should change their gender. all of these are extremists to the new left. which shows you how extreme they are. >> ainsley: tulsi gabbard was on last night. she a democrat. this is an assault on our democracy. listen. >> do you remember when an attorney general said, you know, anyone who holds extremists or antiauthority views will be targeted for investigation and potential prosecution by their domestic terrorist unit. so you are essentially saying that this quote, unquote, maga crowd are worst than terrorists. this is outrageous, for every american who is watching. every american who has seen this. no matter how you feel about the maga crowd, this is an authoritarian assault on our freedom and we need to stand together very strongly against this attempt to intimidate and silence anyone who holds political views that are different from or opposed to what this president and his administration are furthering. an assaulted on our democracy. >> brian: also interesting jen psaki the white house struck by how donald trump's hold on the gop so strong. maga group extremists. donald trump still has a hold. this is exactly what i think it was axios said would be the new white house strategy come midterms. their report card is not good. it's horrendous. >> ainsley: instead of criticizing you think the president and administration would get to know what the other side's belief are they believe in family and church and christian values. and they call them deplorable. they say they are smelly walmart shoppers. now they say they are extremists. if you ran on the idea of bringing the country together and uniting us, then you have to get to know what the other side believes. >> brian: to have a bad start. >> ainsley: he is to have ad ba star. ted cruz you interviewed him i thought he ran on uniting our country. did he unite our country we all agree his policies are terrible and he is the worst president. >> pete: takes actually being willing to get to know what mode investigates people to not characterize them as extremists. i think of my parents and my neighbors. i think of my high school buddies who support the policies of donald trump. the last thing those people are extremists. they know they are not extremists. now they are being called that i think the left is hoping continue to tim date people. brian, you mentioned it 22-0 record of donald trump and those endorse. s is a reflex of people felt like by voting for j.d. vance they had a chance to vote for donald trump and demonstrated their support for him. >> ainsley: or at least his policies. >> pete: or at least his policies which are still reverberating today. the reason that draft opinion came out, three supreme court justices who he said who he believed were pro-life put on the supreme court. that's what people voted for. somebody who knows a little bit about the maga movement, lara trump was on our program earlier and she talked about what does it really represent? >> in case joe biden is interested in who the maga crowd is? ainsley, these are people ha love america. they get up in the morning. they go to work. they pay their taxes, they go to church. they believe in the police. they believe we should be a sovereign nation with borders. they don't want to pay triple what we have had to pay now in gas and groceries from about 18 month ago. these are people that want to achieve the american dream and don't want the government smothering it. biden is missing the bigger pointed here because the maga movement was started because of failed politicians exactly like joe biden. >> brian: all right. we will see what happens. that's what they are doing. never putting it out there. joe biden says things by mistake. walked back. that was not walked back. he didn't say it by mistake. he went out of his way to say that. >> ainsley: second time he talked about child of god. used that word. >> brian: biggest, extremist, most extreme movement in the history of the united states meanwhile, 11 minutes after the hour. let's talk about something new that kind of got sprung on us last week. for the last few months we have had a disinformation czar and unit within the homeland security department. and even mayorkas said on sunday yeah, i probably could have rolled that out a little bit better. then we find out who is in charge of it. this won that's in charge of it, nina jankovicz, whose about 8 and a half months pregnant, so i'm not sure how you get a job and then you just -- you can't do a job for three months. i'm not faulting her but i don't know why you would give somebody a job that you think is so important. >> ainsley: how long has she had this job? >> ainsley: about two months. i will defend her on that one, brian. she has the right to have a baby and have maternity leave. >> brian: if you really want to have someone head up an organization. face of the organization. passionate for musical theater and also passionate for disinformation like the steele dossier is accurate. like the hunter biden laptop. >> ainsley: called that misinformation. >> ainsley: she is in charge of the disinformation board. yet she thought the hunter laptop story and continued say that's at disinformation. steve. >> pete: 30-something d.c. creature who characterized. we will talk about this next hour in one of the soundbites she had to from 2021. she talked about hot button issues that the republicans and other disinformers talk about. so, she is a clear political view yet, mayorkas and others try to defend apolitical. look book grin disinformation completefully one side of the aisleanything that hurts democr. >> ainsley: isn't it the job of the dhs secretary to vet the individuals to run any department or run this board? senator josh hawley asked him did you know she had been tweeting about this? did you know she was calling the laptop issue that has been proven to be authentic that she was saying was disinformation? his answer is going to surprise you. listen. >> she has, for starters, consistently miss informed the public about the hunter biden laptop story and spread the lie that it was russian propaganda. she has consistently spread false and misleading claims about the steele dossier which we now know was actually itself a piece of russian propaganda. here she is on august the 7th, 2020 promoting christopher steele, the stooge who helped launder russian propaganda, including lying to the fbi about it. here she is lauding him. she has used social media and the public to launder propaganda herself. were you aware of this information when you chose her, everything i have just shown you? >> i was not. >> how could you not be? did you do any research on her? >> senator, senator, i will not discuss the internal workings of the hiring process. >> brian: why wouldn't you? it must suck. that's what it comes down to. whatever it is, change it because if you didn't know that, and she still got the job and has the job, that is a pretty terrible hiring process. >> ainsley: the whole point of this is to not spread information that is false. and she has been doing that and she is in charge of the board. >> pete: remember the intel chief that came out and immediately put out a letter and said this is russian disinformation about the biden laptop. and john paul mac isaac who is a computer remayorman who hunter biden handed his laptop over and never picked it up so it legally became his possession. he was labeled right away as a russian asset. he was on "fox & friends first" asked about that because he is the kind of guy that would be a target once you deem something misinformation or russian propaganda out the gate. here's what he said. >> after adam schiff and 51 intelligence experts decided to pen a letter and tell the rest of the american people i was a russian asset, things have gone of gone down hill from there. i had to enlist the support from wilmington police department to kind of make sure nothing bad happened to me while i was at the shop and after a couple weeks. it eventually got so bad that i to close my business and flee the state. there was a lot of things i saw in the laptop that should not have been sent in the open, especially white house information pertaining to the ukraine being sent to private ukrainian citizens to benefit their business. and the national security ramifications from that alone i felt fear for the nation. >> pete: by the way he is suing multiple outlets. >> ainsley: for a million dollars. >> pete: not a lot of money in the grand scheme of things considering what was done for him. consider the department of homeland security created after 9/11 for reasons to protect our homeland. and here up mayorkas yesterday watching that whole hearing was fascinating. is he effectively defending the facilitation of illegals across our border and doing so more quickly. >> brian: doing a terrible job. >> pete: facilitating. basically helping people come across the board and talking about a misinformation governance board you? are supposed to protect our homeland and now you are targeting internal speech and helping people get across our border and dismantling the border. that's what happens when you give more power to government with ideological screws. >> brian: this guy got so screwed all he did accept a flant a crack-addicted customer who didn't pick it up. so he did the right thing. he went to the fbi and went to rudy giuliani. the fbi can't find it when asked where it is, rudy giuliani made it public and then he was told that it was russian disinformation. >> ainsley: he lost business as a result. >> brian: this guy is going to win that if there is any justice in the world. >> ainsley: had to shut down and hire security. let's hand it over to carley for more headlines. >> carley: yes i do. tragic crime story here. yet another one. the mother of an nypd officer is shot and killed on her doorstep in broad daylight in an ambush in queens. police say the shooter knocked on the victim's door and opened fire when she answered. the suspect later turned himself in to police. the motive is still unknown and the relationship between the two unclear. and the nypd is on a manhunt for sledge hammer wielding robbers who smacked through a front window. you see it there. the three thieves stealing $20,000 in merchandise. police are investigating at least 18 other smash and grab robberies across the city that appear to be connected. this just in. elon musk securing another $7 billion in funding for his takeover of twitter in a new fec filing the billionaire reports support from a handful of banks and trust funds. musk now has more than $27 billion in equity commitments to help take twitter private this as a new fox news poll saying musk buying the tech giant does not matter to 63%. including 42% who say it doesn't matter after the all to them. may the fourth be with this florida sheriff's office that was overrun by storm troopers for "star wars" day yesterday. >> a lot of these guys showing up lately after their death star blew up. >> there is another one here. >> no one?

>> well, thank you for asking. you know, the situation at the border is a complex issue. and when you are talking about making changes either to the law or the policy. we want to make sure that those changes are going to be helpful. not hurtful. and i believe that we have a responsibility, those of us in government, to seek the best information possible before we make any changes. i think it would be good for our president who is our leader to come here and see for himself what the situation is hear from us, hear from the people that are on the border. totally understand the situation because this is very frustrating for us. you know, i was here in 1986 when president reagan allowed amnesty for millions of immigrants well, that problem didn't just occur in 1986. it was an accumulation of problems in the past. well, since 1986 is about 36 years ago, the laws haven't changed. the policies haven't changed so we continue to have the same situation. so, we're looking for a final solution we want him to provide leadership. to sit down with congress and come up with a solution to a complex situation and we think he can make the best decision by being better informed. >> brian: i know you are not knive. knave. he is not coming. who are you turning away now because of title 42 and who will you not be able to turn away?

how many cases are you expected to see? how many cell phones with a promise of going to a court appearance do you have to hand out? >> i hear you. and i know a lot of us are frustrated i'm not here to criticize the president. i'm here to solicit his leadership to solve a problem that needs to be solved. and the west way for him to do it is to come here. i don't know why he wouldn't want to come here. what would be wrong for him to do this? >> brian: because it's a disaster and he would have to acknowledge. you can't fault previous president for not acknowledging it he is not acknowledging it he blames it on a previous administration which makes your job almost impossible. >> well, it makes it difficult and, again, this is not my problem solely, it's an american problem and a local problem. it's an international problem. every day. >> brian: gotcha. >> texas, 70% of all the produce that we consume comes from mexico. and vice versa. >> brian: i know, judge. i have to leave it there you are insearly hoping he will listen to you. i don't think he is going to but i appreciate the effort. judge cortez, thank you. >> thank you. >> brian: straight ahead, ukrainian president zelenskyy opening up in an exclusive interview with our own griff jenkins. his message for president biden and the american people soon and supreme outrage. overnight workers putting up a fence around the u.s. supreme court as protests rage over a leaked draft opinion on abortion. fox news contributor alveda king vows to keep fighting until every baby is safe in the womb. she will join us live. inflammation in your eye might be to blame. time for ache and burn! over-the-counter eye drops typically work by lubricating your eyes and may provide temporary relief. those'll probably pass by me. xiidra works differently, targeting inflammation that can cause dry eye disease. xiidra?

>> brian: yeah. that's very impressive. that's the sense i get walking around here, matt. thanks so much. great update. meanwhile, at 25 minutes before the top of the hour let's go down to ainsley. >> ainsley: hey, brian, thank you so much. supreme outrage overnight workers build a fence around the u.s. supreme court building as protests rage over that leaked draft opinion on abortion. this follows two days of fierce protests nationwide but our next guest says states are finally waking up to the sanctity of life. fox news contributor and founder of think for life joins us now dr. alveda king. good morning, dr. king. >> good morning, ainsley, so good to be with you today. >> ainsley: always to have you on and hear from your perspective. joe biden was on yesterday and talking about abortion and heed justified it as americans we have the right because we are children of god god. what was your reaction to that? >> the president has obviously not heard the pleas of the women of america. he cannot hear the cries of the babies in the womb. he doesn't know how much fathers regret lost fatherhood. and so there are so many proof and so much evidence that abortion certainly is bad for the baby, the human dignity of the human rights of the baby. the pain and suffering of the mother. the father's cries. of the problems that follow abortion. he can offer americans something better than abortion if he would just take the time and be present. i understand he has not been to the border. ukraine's president is crying out for him. certainly the babies in the womb are saying, sir, hear us. you can see us on ultrasound now. >> ainsley: you have a very personal and powerful message about abortion and how you became pro-life. can you tell that to the audience? >> yes, i can. my own abortion testimony are in amicus brief that went to the united states supreme court several years ago. my grandfather martin luther king sr. convinced my mother not to have a dnc in 1950 and end my life. i did have abortion, and the abortions killed my babies. and hurt me. and i had a miscarriage due to one of the abortions, that's three lost babies. so i want women to be healthy, and safe. abortion won't do that i want the babies in the womb to have human dignity. god says choose life for a reason. life is a gift and children are a gift from the lord. i do have six living children and 11 grandchildren because i repented of all my sins in 1983. so there has to be a better way. the president needs to understand this, to serve america than to support decisions that will cause abortion. >> ainsley: what changed your mind back in the '80s? >> in 1983, i received jesus christ as my lord and savior, so if someone is watching today and you are not a christian, that's okay. i'm just telling you what changed my mind. the hope of life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness in god is what has changed me and carries me through covid, fear of war, the abortion issues, the trans gender issues. all of those are real but faith, hope, and love are definitely stronger. and i ask people to do that. ainsley, i had some friends in front of the supreme courted pro-choice protesters there were fights in front of that as that leaked document came out. people need to calm down and stop fighting. >> ainsley: great message you have a fox nation special alveda king's house and you are talking about the national day of prayer which is today. prayer is important. can you see that on fox nation.com. thank you, dr. king. >> thank you. >> ainsley: first it was the slap seen around the world will smith hit chris rock at the oscars. now it's dave chappelle being tackled on stage by an armed man. michael loftus sounds off on free speech in comedy. ♪ ♪("i've been everywhere" by johnny cash) ♪ ♪i've traveled every road in this here land!♪ ♪i've been everywhere, man.♪ ♪i've been everywhere, man.♪ ♪of travel i've had my share, man.♪ ♪i've been everywhere.♪ ♪♪ centrum multigummies aren't just great tasting... they're power-packed vitamins... ♪i've been everywhere.♪ that help unleash your energy. loaded with b vitamins... ...and other key essential nutrients... ...it's a tasty way to conquer your day. try centrum multi gummies. now with a new look. if you have advanced non-small cell lung cancer, your first treatment could be a chemo-free combination of two immunotherapies that works differently. it could mean a chance to live longer. opdivo plus yervoy is for adults newly diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer that has spread, tests positive for pd-l1, and does not have an abnormal egfr or alk gene. together, opdivo plus yervoy helps your immune system launch a response that fights cancer in two different ways. opdivo plus yervoy equals a chance for more time together. more family time. more time to remember. opdivo and yervoy can cause your immune system to harm healthy parts of your body during and after treatment. these problems can be severe and lead to death. see your doctor right away if you have a cough; chest pain; shortness of breath; irregular heartbeat; diarrhea; constipation; severe stomach pain, nausea or vomiting; dizziness; fainting; eye problems; extreme tiredness; changes in appetite, thirst or urine; rash; itching; confusion; memory problems; muscle pain or weakness; joint pain; flushing; or fever. these are not all the possible side effects. problems can occur together and more often when opdivo is used with yervoy. tell your doctor about all medical conditions including immune or nervous system problems, if you've had or plan to have an organ or stem cell transplant, or received chest radiation. here's to a chance to live longer. ask your doctor about the combination of two immunotherapies, opdivo plus yervoy. thank you to all those in our clinical trials. helen knew exercise could help her diabetes. but she didn't know what was right for her. no. nope. no way. but then helen went from no to know. with freestyle libre 2, now she knows what activity helps lower her glucose. and can see what works best for her. take the mystery out of your glucose levels, and lower your a1c. now you know. freestyle libre 2. now covered by medicare for those who qualify. ♪ >> brian: look at this. you have got this man 23 years old. accused of this terrifying attack against comedian dave chappelle at the comedy show. he has been arrested. he is charged. he got beat up. and he is charged with assault with a deadly weapon. >> ainsley: police say the suspect isaiah lee charged the stage with a fake gun there is a picture of what it looked like that had a knife blade inside it luckily chappelle is okay. >> pete: what does the incident say about the future of comedy and free speech?

>> thank you so much for having us, pete, and thank you to all the fox viewers who supported us because one of the biggest obstacles to opening a school is the startup costs. it's over a million dollars and everything from curriculum to technology and project we're still working on but we thank you for the previous support. we overcame it by community effort, really stone soup approach. we've had a lot of people involved. everything from partnering with 4-h to local businesses, to the game warden and just yesterday, the great folks at civil air patrol approved our squadron, and we're actually looking forward to partnering with the school district now and working with the brand new school board and superintendent to continue the community partnership to even grow the school more. >> pete: real quick, how do you get around all the other woke stuff that is in public schools? are you able to exempt that? >> we're not exempt -- we follow -- we are a public school, we follow the rules. and as a policy, we just believe that certain controversial subjects are best taught at home by the parents, and our teachers follow that. >> pete: you're a parent but also a teacher, what's it like to be in front of a classroom where you don't have to feel like you need to discuss these, whether it's c.r.t. or gender theory with students. you're sticking to core curriculum. >> absolutely. core curriculum is where it's at. it is freeing, honestly, to just be able to talk about history and science and the reality of things rather than bringing in my opinions. my opinion is not important. it's what the children take from the information that i give them. >> pete: well said. bennie, as a parent, did you think you'd have a chance to send your kids to a public school that was like this? >> well, when merit was the talk of the town, the thing that attracted us to merit was the emphasis that they are going to teach core subjects and focus our kids into core subjects. so that is why we gravitated towards merit. >> pete: tell you this, i have no doubt our viewers are very encouraged by this. the website is merit.academy. and looking at the stats, you had 184 full-time students in this school year. next year, it could potentially double as well showing that there's clearly an appetite for this. thank you again so much for what you're doing in trying to give parents an option that represents a real education. god bless you all. appreciate it. >> thank you, pete. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> pete: you got it. coming up, a young yankees fan meets his hero after getting a home run ball. this 9-year-old joins us live next hour. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ introducing the all-new infiniti qx60. take on your wild world in style. ♪ i'm steve, i lost 138 pounds in nine months on golo and taking release. take on your wild world in style. since taking release, my sleep is way better. my inflammation has gone way down. i'm nonstop now, i feel way better than i did before. i don't sit down in life anymore. and it's easier than ever to get your projects done right. with angi, you can connect with and see ratings and reviews. and when you book and pay throug you're covered by our happiness check out angi.com today. angi... and done. from prom dresses to workouts and when you book and pay throug you're covered by our happiness and new adventures you hope the more you give the less they'll miss. but even if your teen was vaccinated against meningitis in the past they may be missing vaccination for meningitis b. although uncommon, up to 1 in 5 survivors of meningitis will have long term consequences. now as you're thinking about all the vaccines your teen might need make sure you ask your doctor if your teen is missing meningitis b vaccination. >> tech: when you have auto glass damage, trust safelite. this dad and daughter were driving when they got a crack in their windshield.

joel is on it. >> pete: joel has never done anything that i've asked. on an angle. >> ainsley: do we agree and folks at home, i said out of all of the things that you've done on fox news, that is what you're most proud of. >> brian: it's new. that's all i'm saying. >> ainsley: let's talk about joe biden. yesterday he was asked by the press about abortion and the supreme court opinion being leaked out. and his response was interesting because he basically -- he's now being criticized for this. he talked about his faith and he used his faith to justify abortion. listen to this. >> this is about a lot more than abortion. i hadn't read the whole opinion at that time. but this reminds me of a debate with robert bourque. he believed the only reason you had any inherent rights is because the government gave them to you. if you go back and look at the opening comments when i was questioning him as chairman, i said i believe i have the rights that i have not because the government gave them to me, which you believe, but because i'm a child of god. i exist. >> pete: first of all, it doesn't make any sense. >> brian: he thinks the only rights you have is the right the government gives you? >> ainsley: i'm not sure about that. ronald reagan wanted to appoint him. >> pete: definitely not what he believes. one takeaway from that, the first foray into the left trying to destroy a qualified nominee. >> brian: now the word is bourque from that. he takes away that he made a point that he's a child of god. by the way, i am just a child of god. i exist. you know what that made me think of, psalm 139, i praise you because i'm fearfully and wonderfully made. that's the type of perspective you would hear from someone who -->> ainsley: pro lifers use that a lot. >> pete: creating that same type of language to defend a different stance doesn't make any sense. >> ainsley: has people scratching their heads. you have a political fundraiser and said biden literally made the case against abortion. pro lifers say this is ironic. he makes his argument to support the right to abort unborn children of god. house republicans tweeted this out. used a ronald reagan quote said everyone who is for abortion has already been born. >> brian: so president didn't stop there. they have a strategy. it's not to just look at this, they want to say look at this extreme organization. they want to ban soon everything that they can including interracial marriage, the way gay kids can go to school with non-gay kids. they extrapolated that all from a decision that has not been released. it's a draft of what a supreme court might do on roe v. wade. here's the president turning it up a notch. we've seen the president make mistakes and they walk it back in a very short period of time. this is deliberate. watch. >> happens if you have state change the laws saying that children who are lgbtq can't be in classrooms with other children. is that legit the way the decision is written? what are the next things that are going to be attacked? because this magna crowd is the most extreme political organization that's existed in political history. >> brian: everybody with a red hat that voted for president trump said you're talking about 75 million, the most votes ever for a republican president and did lose to president biden but he had more votes saying -- so you just took a risk of alienating tens of millions of americans. >> ainsley: like the deplorable comment. and you made a good point in the first hour and said that's not at all what republicans are saying. they're not saying to don't allow lgbtq in the classroom with other children. >> pete: nobody has said that! >> ainsley: that's discrimination. >> pete: it's already illegal to do that. interracial marriage, think of how much you have to mischaracterize deliberately your political opponents to make the argument that maga folks want to ban interracial marriage. it's a smear. it's an absolute -- it's the same thing you're saying saying the number one greatest threat that we face domestically in america is white nationalism. that's their code for maga, what they're trying to do to political opponents. by the way, people call me an extremist all the time. people that have supported president trump or others. fine, call me whatever names you want. they don't mean anything anymore. now they're calling my parents and my friends and my neighbors and the guys that i went to high school with. it's the same thing that donald trump said. they're coming after you. i'm just in the way. and that's the view. don't just do donald trump that way. all the wal-mart deplorables and smelly wal-mart people and bitter clingers, that's how they view you and to call them extremists with the levers of power that they have on the left right now, that means targeting political opponents and as you had, he said it intentional. >> brian: clarence thomas is going to have to understand interracial marriage, he wants to ban interracial marriage? someone should tell his wife. number two, i would think about the first openly gay cabinet member. do you think he is, i believe, the ultimate maga guy who thinks donald trump did a great job and hope to work for him again. should we tell him that the secret maga movement wants to ban him from hanging out with heterosexuals? >> ainsley: laura trump made that exact point. this is such a wrong characterization of the people who supported donald trump. listen to what she said. >> in case joe biden is interested in who the maga crowd is, ainsley, these are people that love america, that get up in the morning. they go to work. they pay their taxes. they go to church. they believe in the police. they believe that we should be a sovereign nation with borders. they don't want to pay triple what we had to pay now in gas and groceries from about 18 months ago. these are people that want to achieve the american dream and don't want the government smothering it. biden is missing the bigger point here because the maga movement was started because of failed politicians exactly like joe biden. >> brian: so good luck with that. so i don't know where he wants to go with that, but i know this. this is one way to accomplish their goal. not talking about the border and not talking about inflation, not talking about spending, failure of build back better, the interest rates. we're not talking about that. we're talking about -- we're talking about an argument that doesn't exist. that is the expansion of a series of policies that nobody ever talked about, but it's, i guess, just explained to me why you're not going to do these things. where did you come up with that? meanwhile, something else that i thought was amazing last week, as horrendous as secretary mayorkas testimony was as he tries to defend what he did and hasn't done at the border. one thing that stood out and caught everybody by surprise when mayorkas brought up and talked about this disinformation czar and disinformation essentially bureau that is going to be working to make sure outside countries and companies don't affect the voting process or america's dialogue. >> ainsley: she's had some controversial tweets and you know about most of them because we've talked about it and talked about how trump supporters are going to go to the polls armed. she talked about how that the laptop hunter biden's laptop was disinformation which it was not. it was proven later it wasn't. now she's in charge of the disinformation board that's trying to make sure false information doesn't get out when she's the one spreading it. she also said the dossier was real. turns out it wasn't. it was manipulated and made up by hillary clinton's team and others. her name is nina janowciz and a video has surfaced of her from november of 2021. a clip of her discussing parents' concerns in our school about c.r.t. listen to this. >> critical race theory has become one of the hot button issues that the republicans and other, you know, disinformers who are engaged in disinformation for profit, frankly. there are plenty of, you know, media outlets making money off of this, too, have seized on. i live in virginia and in loudon county, one of the areas where people have really honed in on this topic. it's no different than any of the other hot button issues that allow disinformation to flourish. it's, you know, weaponizing people's emotion when you're looking at stuff on the media whether it's, you know, mainstream media, fringe media or social media, if you feel yourself getting really emotional, there's a good chance you're being manipulated, right? it is meant on drive that emotional interaction in you>> brian: told bret baier they said she's nonpartisan to protect america. does anybody believe that? >> ainsley: she said that republicans are disinformers. they're not informing you correctly about c.r.t. it's not republicans. it's parents. we saw what happened in virginia. we went down to have conversations with the parents in loudon county. they showed proof much what's being taught in the school. for her to say it's not being taught when these parents, not just republicans, parents, you had republicans, independents and democrats that voted in the state of virginia because they were concerned about c.r.t. being taught in the classrooms. >> pete: she perfectly parrots the way this administration sees parents. remember, they said look out, the parents are the threat! they're the ones that are dangerous. these words critical race theory has become one of the hot button issues that the republicans and other disinformers. if you're saying other disinformers, you're saying that republicans by their nature are disinformers. and engaged in disinformation for profit. profit is a bad thing, too, according to her. every single aspect of this is far left, d.c. swamp creature has a really inflated sense of what she knows about the world and loves to make snap judgments based on her political views which are almost always wrong and impose them on the rest of the country because she knows better. >> brian: elon musk buying twitter, i shudder to think of it, taking over platforms that make it look like for the marginalized communities which they're already shouldering. i didn't know that you needed a lot of money to go on twitter. >> ainsley: new fox news poll that says 74% of voters are extremely or very concerned about what the schools teach. 74%. my democratic friends, my republican friends, they are all concerned about what our schools are teaching our children. they want to -- you know, they want our kids to be in schools where they're teaching math and science and not all of these crazy woke agenda ideas that are being taught at such an early age. >> brian: how does he not know that she has these views. they're pretending he's lying again under oath. by the way, she's the exact opposite of anybody you want to hire in that spot. >> pete: we don't need anybody in that spot. if you want to hire somebody in that spot, the exact wrong person to hire. >> brian: she took that down, by the way. she took her tiktok down. >> ainsley: she made her tiktok private. >> brian: we have a passion for musical theater. i'm not on tiktok. >> pete: it's incredible. it's not surprising. that 74% number went rapidly up after covid-19. i'll shamelessly plug out my new book coming out about the 100 year progressive takeover of the k through 12 classroom. the moment when the cameras turned on at home and we saw what was being taught in the classroom. if you're one of that 74%, how do you solve this? i was talking to carley about this in the green room. how do you get at this problem? you have to understand the depth of how they have captured our classroom. this isn't an accident of the 1960s. this started years ago to undermine the way that free people were classically trained. you know what liberal arts comes from? a liberation of the mind. free citizen. they've totally eradicated that. so i wrote this book with david goodwin, head of the classical christian association in america. he understands this philosophy of schooling. it will shock you about what they did. but ultimately, there's three chapters on how to solve the problem and i think that's what parents are looking for. and it's going to take a radical reorientation for parents in this country if we want to change that trajectory. the book is "battle for the american mind" and comes out on june 14th. i would preorder it now if you want to get it on that date. >> brian: is that flag day? >> pete: it is flag day and army birthday and it is donald trump's birthday. >> brian: right. >> pete: june 14th. >> brian: is it your birthday? >> if you open up the book, will an eagle fly out of it? >> brian: i'm sorry about that, pete. i didn't know she was going to mock you. >> pete: i took it as a compliment. >> he's probably like wait, how can we make that happen? >> pete: did we not have a conversation in the green room and you said you're going to read it. >> without question. especially this is something that all my friends are struggling with right now. they have young kids. not any announcements. i'm thinking about having kids and something i'm worried about living in manhattan. i think so one of the biggest mistakes that conservatives made was give up the classrooms and we're suffering the repercussions of right now. think about what happened with twitter where you have, i think it really does go back to school. where you have people who are just so interested more interested in free speech than safe spaces. and now, they're confronted with ideas that they're very uncomfortable with and look what's happening right now. so buy pete's book and that's the way to fight back. >> pete: appreciate that. thank you, guys. >> turning to headlines, shall we? we'll begin with america's crime crisis. caught on camera. armed robbers storm a los angeles county smoke shop. watch as they pull a gun on a worker shooting him behind the counter. that employee returning fire prompting the suspect to duck for cover. police one of them did die. two others remain on the loose. scenes like this have california residents calling for the removal of d.a. george gascone, a recall petition has more than 400,000 signatures. a spokesperson saying we're starting to see a real light at the end of the tunnel here and real plausible pathway to get these signatures if we keep it up. a fox weather alert, tornadoes rip through texas and oklahoma causing intense structural damage. the twister causing power outages for about 14,000 people in oklahoma last night. the state also reporting hail storms with stones as large as two inches. severe weather is expected to continue into the weekend in parts of the south, midwest and great plains. hear about this? cowboys owner jerry jones is hospitalized after a car crash, incident happening yesterday in dallas involving one other car. luckily, jones is ok and was only taken to the hospital as a precaution. it's unclear if jones was driving at the time of the crash or anyone else was hurt. and tom cruise really knows how to make a grand entrance. the actor landing a helicopter he piloted himself on the u.s.s. midway to celebrate his premiere of his new movie "top gun maverick." the movie is coming in theaters later this month. 34 years after the original film. it's been a while, guys. something to look forward to if you like "top gun". >> brian: definitely going to see it. >> ainsley: me, too. glad it's coming back. >> brian: thanks, carley. the suspect is charged with assault with a deadly weapon after attacking dave chapelle at the hollywood bowl over the weekend. l.a. county sheriff reacts to the latest in this investigation next. >> ainsley: an emotional amber heard takes the stand testifying about the alleged abuse suffered at the hands of johnny depp. we'll bring you live to the courthouse ahead of more testimony today. there's a different way to treat hiv. it's every-other-month, injectable cabenuva. for adults who are undetectable, cabenuva is the only complete hiv treatment you can get every other month. cabenuva helps keep me undetectable. it's two injections, given by a healthcare provider every other month. it's one less thing to think about while traveling. hiv pills aren't on my mind. a quick change in my plans is no big deal. don't receive cabenuva if you're allergic to its ingredients or taking certain medicines, which may interact with cabenuva. serious side effects include allergic reactions, post-injection reactions, liver problems, and depression. if you have a rash and other allergic reaction symptoms, stop cabenuva and get medical help right away. tell your doctor if you have liver problems or mental health concerns, and if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or considering pregnancy. some of the most common side effects include injection-site reactions, fever, and tiredness. if you switch to cabenuva, attend all treatment appointments. every other month and i'm good to go. ask your doctor about every-other-month cabenuva. i look back with great satisfaction every other month and i'm good to go. on my 32 years of active duty. i understand the veteran mentality. these are people who have served, they'e been in leadership positions, they're willing to put their life on the line if necessary and they come to us and they say, "i need some financial help at this point in time." they're not looking for a hand out, they're looking for a little hand up. my team at newday usa is going to do everything we possibly can to make sure that veteran gets that loan. when subway opened, they changed the fast food game. but sometimes, you gotta refresh, to be fresh. welcome to the eat fresh refresh we got the - wait, that's new. because we're refreshing the refresh. what? there's the new honey mustard chicken, the subway club, and the new baja turkey avocado with- new baja chipotle sauce? yep they're constantly refreshing with better ingredients, better footlongs, and better spokespeople. it's the eat fresh refresh at subway and they're gonna keep refreshing and re- xfinity mobile runs on america's most reliable it'5g network,resh refresh at subway but for up to half the price of verizon so you have more money for more stuff. this phone?

no! i want to leave him. i didn't want this to be the reality. i didn't want the man that i was in love with. you don't come back from that. that broke my heart! i didn't want to leave him. >> heard detailed what she said was multiple episodes of violence as a result of depp's temper. during her testimony, depp looked down instead of at the witness stand, feet in front of him. the actor is suing heard for defamation over a december 2018 "washington post" op-ed she authored herself describing herself as a victim of domestic violence but depp's name was never mentioned. >> i struggled to have the words. i struggled to find the words to describe how painful this is. and this is horrible for me to sit here for weeks and relive everything. >> johnny depp was not arrested or charged as a result of the abuse claims. remember, this is a libel trial meaning the burden is on johnny depp to prove that amber heard engaged in actual malice meaning she demonstrated a reckless disregard for the truth in writing her op ed. that is a high bar to prove. johnny depp says he will be able to prove it according to his attorneys. amber heard says ultimately, she did fight back but it was only in self-defense. back to you. >> brian: all right, david, thanks so much. more drama today, i'm sure. meanwhile, the man who attacked david chapelle on stage over the weekend charged with assault with a deadly weapon. lapd releasing images of this replica gun with a knife blade in it which they say was on the suspect. the startling attack did not stop the show. chapelle and chris rock who were in attendance were cracking jokes after the incident. >> it was a man! >> was that will smith? >> brian: all right, let's bring in los angeles county sheriff alex villanueva. your reaction to what we all saw. >> well, this is -- we're seeing this pattern, it started in 2020 with the d.a.'s race, the mayor's race just a few weeks ago. people rushing the stage. and these activists want to have their seven seconds of fame, and this is another version of that. >> brian: what about the security itself? whose fault was this? >> well, you have private security that typically runs a venue like this and you have lapd that is on contract for the venue itself. but private security has a primary role around the stage and then screening people coming into the venue. so i take a hard look at how well -- they weren't doing their jobs. >> brian: when you see that weapon, what do you think? >> definitely, they have to pick up the pace on what they're doing with metal detectors because that should have been an easy find really. >> brian: why does someone have a gun, you're screwed already. but don't worry, officer, it's really a knife. i mean, is that just bizarre, isn't it? >> yes, i mean, that is a totally irresponsible thing to bring to a venue like this and you start questioning what is this person thinking about really? >> brian: if you're the last act, comic strip or anything like that, any of these famous comedy venues, big and small, do you have to re-examine your security today or am i overreacting? >> well, not really. i'd start taking a hard look at these venues particularly dave chapelle, great comedian, but he's controversial in some of his comments draws ire from one group and you'll have other people that draw the ire from another group. there's always a potential there's somebody that's unhappy that wants to make a name for themselves. this is the venue for them to do it really. >> brian: big moment, one of the worst d.a.'s in the history of this nation is in your backyard, works with you. george gascon, he now has 400,000 signatures for his recall. what's the significance of hitting that threshold? >> well, they're past the halfway point now and i think they got about two months left of signature gathering. so i think they're on pace and looks like it's going to happen. so i think that's a historical moment for this experiment with ultra progressive d.a.'s who don't do their job. i think the country has had enough with it. they want to see basic law and order reinstituted everywhere. >> brian: he was in san francisco, right? we knew what he was going to do. you guys elected him anyway. >> exactly. you know what, fool me once, shame on them. fool me twice, shame on me. that, you know, i think the voters are going to probably correct that mistake. >> brian: sheriff, you've told us this for a few years now, how bad it is. are other people realizing that you're not wrong now? >> i think they're starting to come to the realization, yes, that they were sold this bill of goods about how we can just eliminate cops everywhere, you know, the whole defunding movement which is actively being practiced by the l.a. county board of supervisors and this whole let's get rid of the jails, the prisons and everybody is going to sing kumbaya, it doesn't work that way. smash and grab. the huge spike in homicides here in l.a. and homelessness spiralling out of control. i think people want to have a sense of normalcy, and we can do a lot of reforms. we can get people to help their need. but it shouldn't be an either/or proposition. we can do both. >> brian: yeah, i hear you. we always -- our audience agrees with you. now you get the people in california agree with you. i hope you do and run for higher office. sheriff, thanks so much. >> you got it. >> brian: still ahead, from combat to congress. meet the indiana air force veteran who just won her primary and hopes to bring -- break barriers on capitol hill. and this 100-year-old man just broke the guiness world book of records for the longest time employed at the same company. what he credits for his 84-year long career. that story next.

>> ainsley: doing great. congratulations on your republican win. why do you want to be congresswoman? >> thank you so much. >> ainsley: you're welcome. >> i appreciate that. well, as a military member and as a conservative, i just saw this clear lack of leadership and i felt underrepresented. i see policies are being failed to be enacted and people are suffering. i want to be able to serve and lead in that capacity. >> ainsley: tell us about who you are as a person, your family, and how you became a republican and about your service. >> absolutely i'm a christian first and foremost. god is good to me. got saved when i was 9 years old, baby of six. my parents have been married 52 years and my mom is filipino and my dad is african-american and growing up in a multicultural household was amazing. studied japanese for about eight years during grade school. and god has been really helpful. as far as encouraging me and preparing me for unique opportunities such as this. >> ainsley: that's amazing. i know that a republican is not won the seat since 1928. you are running against the incumbent who is a democrat. how will you convince the voters and what has changed about your district? how do you think you can as a republican win? >> yes, so in indiana, we live -- district one is the most diverse district that there is. and so there's so much of the minority impact there. and as we are considering, you know, being a different messenger with the same message that 18 months ago we were better off or that republican values of hard work and ownership and accountability are solid, practical tools for our country, i think it's going to be very clear that our members that reside in the first district are going to resound with that because those principles helped the working class, helped the middle class and i think it's going to be amazing. >> ainsley: you see people of all backgrounds and colors can now see how bad the biden, pelosi agenda is for america. what in your opinion are they doing wrong? >> well, i think fiscal irresponsibility is the biggest destruction. i think this continuous spending, whether it's irresponsibility in regards to forcing up our inflation, poor energy policies, skyrocketing gas prices, all of those individual elements hurt people at the local level. and so like you said, and, you know, as a quote, there's so many pieces of this experience that are just pertaining to every single person. so it doesn't matter what color you are. it doesn't matter what, you know, your economic background is, regardless, americans are suffering. and somebody has to stand up and lead and do something about it. that's why i'm here. >> ainsley: ok, there's so many issues that we're talking about in the news as of late, really abortion. where do you stand on that? >> i'm 100% pro life. >> ainsley: what about immigration and our schools and c.r.t.? >> i whole heartedly disagree with the concept that every -- in regards to c.r.t., every system is inherently racist because if it were, i would not have the opportunity to be a lieutenant colonel in the air force and indiana national guard. i wouldn't have the opportunity to be the commander. i wouldn't have the opportunity to be a united states air force academy graduate. so i'm exhibit a and i present that as a rejection of the notion that c.r.t. is a thought process that's worth continuing to provide to our k through 12 children. >> ainsley: jennifer ruth green running for congress in the great state of indianapolis. we wish you all the best. thank you for coming on. god bless you. >> thank you. god bless you, too. >> ainsley: thanks. coming up, president biden facing backlash over his latest remarks. fox news at night anchor is why it's angering so many people. plus a 9-year-old's big day at the ballpark and he's going to join us live after meeting his home run hero. allergies don't have to be scary. spraying flonase daily stops your body from overreacting to allergens all season long. psst! psst! flonase all good. ♪ ♪ dry eye symptoms keep driving you crazy?

president biden is using his faith to defend abortion and the devout catholic is facing lots of backlash. fox news at night anchor and our friend shannon bream joins us now. great to see you, as always. can you help explain this for us? >> it's interesting, the president is clearly a faithful catholic in that we know he's regularly in church. reports that he's been at church and been there to worship. we know that he hears from the priest and leaders of his church. what he seems to believe personally is in conflict with what he does professionally. the church's position officially is from the moment of conception, life is to be protected. they view that as a human life. and he has often said what i believe personally is different than what i advocate for publicly because i want to make sure that there is access to abortion for people who don't believe how i believe or how the church believes. now, i hear regularly, also, from groups within the church, for example, catholics for choice who are at odds with what their church believes. so it's an interesting dichotomy for the president to walk this line. he's tried to do it for many decades. what it ends up being the biden's position, administration's position is very much pro choice. >> ainsley: let's talk about mother's day. we only have a few more days. lots of people have not bought their mother gifts. have you boys? you wrote this great book and i read it, it's beautiful. women of the bible speak and you also wrote recently "the mothers and daughters of the bible speak." so this is just in time. great gift. tell the folks at home why this will be wonderful to give to their moms. >> you know what, i hope it will be encouraging to moms out there. you have the hardest job in the world i firmly believe, and there are faithful examples like mary, the mother of jesus or moses' mother that show faith, that show courage, stepping out when things are very difficult and making hard choices to protect their children. but there are also families that are dysfunctional and flawed because the bible is full of those, too, we see where moms don't exactly get it wrong. but god is still working in all of it. i hope at the end of the day, moms will be encouraged to know, you know, god on your side. he's cheering for you and sees the hard work that you're doing and i hope you feel plenty celebrated this weekend including you, ainsley. >> brian: you like the book, right? >> pete: love it. >> brian: right. want to put him on the spot. so shannon, i got to ask you something about your previous statement. the president came out and said that robert bourque said all rights come from the government. is that true? is that what he thought? >> no, that very much doesn't sound like what judge bork would have believed. many conservatives believe there are natural rights that come from way beyond the government. that the government doesn't decide things about the value of life. and that would be much more closely aligned with what judge bork believed. it would not be his position that all rights came from government. i think that is clearly a misstatement. >> ainsley: he was a ronald reagan apointee, too, that baffled us when we heard that. thanks for clarifying. >> pete: you're a good curveball hitter. in the two books that you've written both of which are on "the new york times" list, by the way, pretty impressive. two at the same time. number two and number eight. >> ainsley: you jealous, brian? >> brian: absolutely. i'm always jealous of shannon. >> pete: a little bit. in those examples that you provide, you know, joe biden talks about his private feelings on abortion vs. his public stance. is that a biblical stance to take? here's what i believe but i'm not going to reflect it in what i do? >> it's tricky because the bible definitely talks about the difference between religious leaders and the government, you know, the idea of rendering to caesar what is caesar's but also says, you know, ultimately your allegiance as a person of faith if you have trusted in christ is to your heavenly father and to what you believe are his commands for your life vs. what the government may tell you. if you think they're in conflict. so there are people, like i said, within the catholic church who have very divergent views on this and the president seems to be one who is really trying to manage both sides of this issue which we all know is passionate. >> ainsley: he went down to north carolina and the priest wouldn't give him communion because of his position. >> brian: let's say ainsley turns an ankle or has a low grade fever, would you ever host a bible study for her? >> oh, my goodness, i would be honored to be a pale substitute for her. i'm here for you, ainsley. >> ainsley: we're trying to get brian to come on it. >> brian: talking to my people. have a great day, shannon. >> ainsley: say prayers for him, shannon. >> brian: congratulations. >> ainsley: congratulations. >> thanks happy mother's day, too. >> ainsley: happy mother's day to your momma. i know you're so close to her. >> pete: you need to write two books at the same time. >> brian: you raised the bar. a 9-year-old meets his hero after getting a home run ball from aaron judge. the grand slam day for this young yankees fan coming your way. >> ainsley: let's check in with bill hemmer for what's coming up at the top of the show. i know it will be a good one. >> how are you deplorables doing today?

>> at the beginning of the game, he told -- michael told me i'm going to try to get you a ball. and it didn't work out. but when aaron judge hits a home run, i knew it was coming straight towards us but i didn't know he was going to give it to us and i'm really glad he did. >> pete: we're glad you did, too. and derek, i mean, you immediately in tears and gave him a hug almost like you knew him. >> yeah. i just did that automatically. i couldn't think. i just went and hugged him. >> pete: that's the ball right there. i bet you haven't let it leave your hand since, have you? >> only time i let it go was when aaron judge signed it right there. >> pete: smart kid. smart kid. mike, let me go to you. i mean, you're a blue jays fan. he's a yankees fan. you're trying to get him a ball. what drew you to derek and the desire to help him out? >> i think it was just from the initial meeting, i saw him there with his dad caesar and just reminded me of my childhood going to ballgames with my family. and i just remembered getting balls as a kid and most incredible feeling. so i just, you know, i don't know really why. but it just felt like something was compelling me to get this young fella a ball. so universe works in a weird way. >> pete: you did. did aaron judge say anything to you about it? >> judge, what a classy gentleman. he shared some kind words in the dugout to me saying, you know, you don't realize how many people's lives you impacted and such a special thing that you've done, you know, for this boy. and never changed. >> pete: it is special. you paid it forward and it paid right back to you the next night. caesar, as a proud papa, you take your kid to a game, you certainly don't expect something like this. walk us through what you saw. >> yeah, well, you know, we always try to catch the ball. and this first time is what's amazing thanks to michael because i tried to catch the ball, too, but michael was faster than me! and thank god he gave it to derek and it's amazing. amazing moment. >> pete: amazing moment indeed. derek, you said mike is one of your best friends, right? >> yes, for the rest of the game, i called him best friend. >> pete: i think my kids would do the exact same thing. well, derek, caesar and mike, thanks for a heartwarming story, and i have no doubt it's what sports and baseball should look like, and you did it on camera in front of everybody with a wonderful example. god bless you all. hold on to that baseball, all right? >> thank you! >> thank you. >> pete: thank you very much. what a great moment. all right. we'll toss it over, back to the couch. you know what, brian, i'll walk backwards and talk the entire time proving that if you can go farther than 10 feet while walking backwards. >> brian: go up and back. >> pete: all the way up, maybe down again. >> ainsley: yes! yes! >> pete: how was that?
