it is currently 39 cold degrees on this thursday, april 4th. >> ainsley: not really raining. not like it was yesterday. >> steve: not like yesterday but it's a cold rain. >> brian: good job. >> steve: welcome to "fox & friends" for this april 24th, 2024. we start with this. dhs agents rearresting three of those migrant squatters but one of them still on the run. they don't know where that guy is. this, after they were released without bail on gun and drug charges. tonal return to the house that they were squatting in. >> ainsley: and speaking of squatters, wild video of a texas homeowner, look at this, confronting someone in their home who enters through the window. >> steve: not normal. >> lawrence: that was bound to happen. the new york rangers and devils come into blows and brawl seconds into the game. how tended. >> brian: wow. i don't know if that was in the script. "fox & friends" starts right now and, remember, mornings are better with friends. ♪ ♪ >> steve: all right. we start with that fox news alert. federal agents here in new york city rounding up three migrants in a raid at a known squatter house in new york city. >> brian: yeah. where was the nypd. the suspects are among the group of eight arrested just last week on gun and drug charges only to be released without bail. >> ainsley: chanley painter joins us with what authorities found inside that house. >> that neighborhood there is outraged that three migrant squatters were again arrested at that bronx home where the authorities found guns, drugs, ammo, and scales during that initial raid. one of those rearrested was hector day sue we ole that, 24 illegal immigrant from venezuela. he is the one who actually prompted the initial raid at the squatter home last week where 8 were arrested after day sousa was seen with a gun outside the home. he was pointed the loaded gun at someone when police arrived and tackled him. last august he was charged with attempted murder. police he shot another migrant in the leg. the victim refused to cooperate in that case. ice has confirmed 4 of the 8 migrant squatters had previously been caught at the texas border by border patrol. but then released into the u.s. only to skip out on their processing appointments and now, with these three you squatter migrants rearrested and being held without deportation hearings. ice has placed detainers on four others who are still in local sanctuary jurisdiction custody and there is still one who is still on the run. guys? >> steve: all right. thank you very much. by the way the guy who owns that particular house, he says he rented it at one point to a guy named edward dough but apparently he disappeared. and now he is trying to -- the poor landlord trying to evict the people in the basement illegally. if you are a squatter and in the house hard to get you out. >> ainsley: you have judges and no bail laws. the ones last week six of them guns and drugs they were let out without bail. it's the same judge that let the guys out who were beating up cops in times square and flipping off the camera. must be a very liberal judge. >> brian: judge eugene bowen is the guy destroying the city as best he can keep up the great work, pal. arrested the three squatters on wednesday. but they didn't get any cooperation from the nypd because they are not allowed. they are not allowed. they knew it think about the people in this neighborhood. they know the problem. not only that, everything they fear. these are guys up on attempted murder, on larceny. multi offenders and they don't belong here. >> lawrence: couple things. number one we know based on the reporting that we have done so far that they had court appearances that they didn't show up to given in thes to appear and not going to their court dates. >> ainsley: you mean the processing. >> lawrence: why do we continue to give them these notices if they don't abide by them. brian, you are exactly right when it comes to the cooperation, someone tipped off ice. there may not be official channels being because of sanctuary city policies but there is someone within the nypd tipping off ice agents because they are on the move now. i hope this is some signal to change in policy working maybe in unofficial way, until these sanctuary cities they are not going to be able to work with ice in the open. >> steve: ultimately this is the ultimate problem that is this: the biden administration is letting tens of thousands people into the country each and every month. when you come into the country, you can't work up to wait five to seven months to get a work permit. if you can't work, how are you going to pay for a house? that's why some people squat. that's why some people have turned to crime. the crime tourism taking place across the country. these are the rules. they can't work and, yet, they are in the country. so what are they going to do? as we are seeing they are squatting and in some case there's is crime. >> ainsley: this discourages americans from ever renting out one of your houses. if you try to make a little extra money. bought a house. want to upgrade and buy a bigger house, someone breaks into your original house that you are trying to rent tout make some extra money, you are paying the mortgage on that house. someone squats and they get to stay for free. >> brian: i could have no job and i think almost everyone we all know would not be would not be up on weapons charges and robbing stores. we give them three meals a day and housing and experiments program giving them debit cards 350 a week. get more if you have kids. i look at chip shell, two days after detective's murder we have the same situation all over again. these two people in the car, violent felons, this house was full of violent felons up on weapons charges. they are walking into a house they have no idea what they're walking into, and then they find out the judge lets them go. this video was from yesterday because they let them go and ice went and rounded them up. >> lawrence: one of the guys with the weapons charge, ainsley still out. that's one of the guys on the run. me and chris were looking at each other. steve, you were talking about them not working. >> brian: i saw that guy on video. >> lawrence: look at those guns. they are getting the money somewhere. i don't know if they are involved in drugs or whatever they are getting the money somewhere to pay for guns. >> ainsley: saw scalings in the house are they dealing drugs. drugs, guns found ketamine and ketamine with cocaine are they dealing drugs? we don't know. we just know that they found that stuff there. let's move this forward this way. we are learning that the judge, who we were just talking about. who released six of those migrant suspects without bail is allegedly the same judge who released two suspects accused of attacking a new york city police officer greg g-8 joins us now. what do you make of this? you used to live in the city. >> steve: you got out smartly. >> lawrence: it's not just the d.a.s, it's the judges too, right? >> yeah, it is. and you are right, i fled like many people. >> lawrence: smart man. >> progressives have a death griff on new york. they elm grace crime and disorder in stead of law and order d.a.s politicians they don't care about the safety of cops or innocent civilians preyed upon by gangsters and thugs. no, they only care about helping and dee dee funding criminals, not protecting innocent people constantly being victimized so is it any wonder that new york is now this dystopian hell hole of crime and violence, felony assaults continue to skyrocket those numbers came out today and sadly residents are to blame, they're the one who's elected these far left progressives who dominate in new albany and city council and new york. they're the ones who enacted the insane no cash bail law so now it's just a revolving door. criminals rule that's why it's allowing the inmates to run the asylum. >> brian: because the mayor has said hey, listen, we have got to rein this in on bail reform. i can't process the crime. i can't even do my discovery in a short amount of time. i'm letting people go. judges in some cases don't have discretion. left wing activists the speaker carl heastie and others still there to say defund the police. crazy city council way to the left of the mayor. people think the mayor and governor have control, they really don't, even though they are in the same party. how crazy is that? is it is craze. >> 23% voted in the last election. and those were the very rabid far left progressives who continue to pit these people in office who, as i say, came about criminals and they embrace crime and disorder and forget about law and order and innocent victims. >> ainsley: greg, we are waiting on the supreme court to decide the immunity case for donald trump, he is saying you have presidential immunity they haven't made a decision on that. yesterday a new york judge in hush money trial, he rejected trump's request for a delay. trump said let's wait to hear from the supreme court and he said no what's your reaction? >> judge merchan claims trump didn't raise the immunity defense soon enough. you know, waiting until last month. that is simply not true. trump's lawyers first argued immunity in may of last year literally 30 days after the indictment by alvin bragg. the judge was put on notice from the outset, yet, in his order yesterday, juan merchan pretends oh, this is something new and therefore it's untimely. well, it's not. and, remember, it was only a month ago the supreme court agreed to resolve the issue of immunity. and because of that, days later, trump's lawyers then renewed the immunity argument in the manhattan prosecution asking merchan let's wait until the high court decides. that is imminently reasonable and any fair judge would simply wait. but merchan is not that kind of a judge. >> steve: it sounds like the trial is going to start within the next two weeks. greg, i saw -- i'm sure you saw. i think i saw it on drudge, saw a headline driewmp go to jail over this? is that possible? >> sure. i mean, i think the standard would be upon conviction about four years here. and, you know, look, the judge and alvin bragg want to rush this case to a conviction in advance of the election and doing it by depriving trump of all legitimate defenses, including immunity that the law allows. you know, this is sort of the antithesis of justice. and, in many ways, it's quite shameful because all of these cases against trump seem to have one common denominator. they are politically motivated and intended and timed to interfere with the presidential election. >> brian: but, gregg, is he not going to jail. i don't know anyone who really thinks that he is going to jail if he is convicted on this, do you? >> oh, i don't rule anything out. i mean, given the participants here prior restraint on free speech it's presumptively unconstitutional. protects grunels criticism or immediate family members who appear to have a vested interest in the case here merchan's daughter is a political allege at this vista, run a consulting firm clients raised millions in campaign donations by citing her dad's case. i mean that, is a severe conflict of interest judge donated to biden's campaign and wife might have been actually working for letitia james. >> lawrence: never seen a judge as well as a d.a. or prosecutor want to speed up a trial. normally it's the defendant being wants to steed speed up the trial they are locked up and not on bail and want to clear their name. now you have a prosecution justice speed up the process. can you only say that's because of the election, right, gregg? >> yeah. i mean right to a speedy trial embedded in the constitution accused not the accuser, d.a. are or judge to speed this along. as i say this conflict of interest involving judge merchan at the very least prohibited by the code of judicial conduct. merchan doesn't care. he ignores those rules. >> steve: sounds like the trial will start in about 10 days. thank you for getting up early today. >> you bet. >> ainsley: u.s. border patrol agents arresting another 182 chinese citizens for illegally crossing our southern border on tuesday. this is part of a concerning increase of the chinese migrants encounters at our border. fox news contributor and former secretary of state plomp says the ccp is aware. >> absolutely certain, we know for sure that we don't have any idea who they are. not only are they mostly got-aways, but even the vetting that we are doing of them is just a handful of simple questions and then we release them more than are chinese nationals arrested at the southern border. that's more than 6,000% of an increase since president biden took office. now to some shocking video of a deadly elephant attack in af africa. massive wild animal charge ago group of tourists who were there on a safari. hey, hey, hey, hey. hey. hey. hey. six people were on board that bus and including an 80-year-old american woman who later died from her injuries. 8 passengers who were stranded on an african island are back on their cruise ship, passengers say-that's right, steve. passengers say they were on a guided tour. it was delayed, leading them to missed all aboard call after being left on march 27th, they made stops in seven countries trying to catch up to the ship. a norwegian cruise spokesperson saying in part we'll be elm bursting these next guests for their travel costs. critics calling out california newsom two restaurants he partially owns paying less than the new $20 minimum wage for fast food workers. here's a look at two job listings at one of newsom's businesses near lake tahoe. plump jack cafe offering $16 an hour for a part-time busker and a host. the new law does not apply to newsom's restaurant because they aren't chain restaurants. former california governor arnold schwarzenegger travis and jason kelce body builder turned actor turned politician crediting america for his success story. >> to me, coming to america was the key to my success it's just a place where foreigners are welcomed, this is the key thing, if you are willing to contribute to america. there's a lot of people that want to come to america to take advantage of america i'm very vividly against that. >> ainsley: terminator star floating a theory on why the kelce brothers are together in los angeles now you are together because you are in holiday. >> that's right. holiday, baby. >> i'm not stupid, right? there is all kinds of introduces for movie parts. >> you got any parts for us? >> no you guys are lined up. you don't want to give it away right now. >> okay. >> ainsley: schwarzenegger calling the brothers fantastic interviewers. the new york rangers took on the new jersey devils. all 10 starters slugging it out as you can see on thize, just one second, one second after the puck was dropped. >> on 5, mcdermott exchanging blows. but everybody has gloves off at the garden. >> ainsley: four players from each team were ejected but all 10 received five minute fighting penalties. the rangers got the win 4-3. >> brian: one great thing about hockey, five minutes to think about it and then you get to play again. most interesting fight is that one. 6'7", sea rookie, he can play but most of all everyone is testing him to see if he can fight. i think the answer is yes. >> ainsley: weren't they trying to plan a fight before the game? >> brian: the last time they played i guess they had some bad blood so why waste time? >> steve: let's have the fight earlier in the game the guy says no, let's have it later. as it turns out. they dropped the puck and the actual melee started. >> ainsley: gentlemen, this is why we should turn to women's sports. >> brian: perfect transition. [laughter] >> lawrence: women like it too. they love it. >> ainsley: lsu, iowa game the highest it was most watched men and women's college basketball game on espn. >> steve: listen, without a doubt, women's basketball at the college level has captivated the country. and lebron james yesterday said and we got a soundbite. >> lawrence: incredible. >> steve: he says essentially there are now these iconic role model women who people really admire. here is lebron james talking about these super stars on the hard court. >> i don't think there is much difference between a man and women game when it documents college basketball. i think the popularity comes in is the high in look at angel reese, juju, caitlin clark. you look at paige, look at the young girl iowa state the freshman there. you look at. brink, i believe her last name is at stanford. and that's just to name a few. freshman at notre dame you are able to build like a real like iconic legacy at a program. and that's what we all love about it. that's what we all love. >> brian: i really think number one it's going to help the wnba know someone in college where are they? are they playing in your town or your city? i thought women's basketball lisa leslie and rebecca lobo and generally ziady coaching now in 96. they went to the olympics in '96 they lit it up. came back as stars. they launched the wnba. there seems to have been a lack of marketing. >> lawrence: can i take an unpopular point of view? i'm all for civility in sports and people. >> brian: combining both stories? >> lawrence: because i think. >> steve: should not be fights in basketball. >> lawrence: there is something to that. i don't like that in women's sports the young women have been encouraged not to be who they are. and be spirited. that's why we watch. and people have criticized the rivalry between angel reese and caitlin clark how they are in each other's face and talking to the crowd and getting in the officials' face. guess what? it's the highest rated game ever for women's sports. >> brian: a what are they saying calm down? >> lawrence: saying calm down the rivalry is too much. i don't think that's fair. >> steve: that's why people are watching because of the rivalry. >> ainsley: i want my daughter to see these kinds of games i support both of them angel and kaitlin. >> lawrence: i'm all for tea parties i do it with my goddaughter. this is not a tea party. these are competitors we should encourage the young women on the court. again, that's what the fans want. >> steve: putting it all out there? >> lawrence: they are now, their personalities being criticized. for example when it came to the men's hockey, okay, they shouldn't be fighting, if you talk to any sports fan there and people that go to hockey games. they go to see the fights, but we are not supposed to say that because we are supposed to be civil. we don't want this to happen. but the fans pay the bills. and they want to see the action. >> ainsley: it's a game not a tea party. >> brian: why bring a puck to the game? let them fight and. >> ainsley: different court. >> steve: imaginary ball or something. >> brian: we forgot the puck, let's fight. let's just fight it out. [bell] >> ainsley: reese anno announcen vogue she is entering the wnba draft. she did it through vogue. >> brian: that's interesting. i also would think, too, show up for the national anthem. they said they couldn't figure out a way to get to the national anthem. >> steve: govegovernor has madee they do steve. >> lawrence: to be fair kim milky. it wasn't a slight. >> brian: it's always been a slight. >> lawrence: a huge conservative. loves the country. they should get it in order. >> brian: take the sweatpants off before. >> steve: the governor is fixing that switching gears. hard to watch. a biological male juries a injures agerbil in a high school basketball game. >> brian: next guest was hurt in the volleyball game by transgender player. she's next. ♪ those pets often end up in shelters that euthanize them after just a few days. but we're better than that, my friends. i'm john o'hurley, and i invite you to support puppy food bank with a $15 and i invite y
