impressions. after that be yourself. you can't mask personality. thanks to everyone who responded. we appreciate it. have a great good friday. ainsley has popped down to "fox & friends" which starts right now. bye. good morning to you. it is friday, april 18. i'm ainsley earhardt filling in for elisabeth this morning. do you stand with cliven bundy? then senator harry reid thinks you are a domestic terrorist. really? we report, you decide. >> okay. and he's warned the world over and over again -- >> there will be consequences and you will be held accountable. >> there shall be no doubt, they too will face growing consequences. >> yeah, there are going to be consequences he says, but still no actions. are the president's blurredç red lines making america weak around the world? >> lee harvey oswald, why
quote
3:01 am
the secret service threatened a mascot with a kill shot. >> oh man. >> "fox & friends" begins right now. >> this is william shatner and guess what? you're watching "fox & friends." >> beam on up. >> welcome folks to "fox & friends." you're looking live at jerusalem. it is 1:00 in the afternoon there. it is good friday. this is something that goesç on, christians in the holy land are commemorating the crucifixion of jesus today, processions through the full city. this is something they do every year on good friday. thousands of christian pilgrims fill the cobblestone alleyways in the old city along the way. >> walking the very steps that christ walked as he went to the cross. today. >> very festive in your easter outfit. >> i had to do it. it is still cold outside but i had to do it. >> brian is off today.
3:02 am
elisabeth is not feeling so well. clay top and ainsley in this morning and steve. he always holds down the curvy couch. >> we're following your lead. >> harry reid went on his easter vacation back to las vegas and he talked to the local paper out there, "the review journal." they have this event called hashç tags and headlines. when asked about the cliven bundy thing, he doesn't like cliven bundy. but the extraordinary thing was how he depicted the people who went out last week to support him. members of the militia, members of the public there to stand with the bundy family. he says those people are terrorists. >> these people who hold themselves out to be patriots are not. they're nothing more than domestic terrorists, and i think that we are a country, that people should follow theç law and what went on is not very good.
3:03 am
i repeat what went on up there is domestic terrorism. cliven bundy does not recognize the united states. he says the united states is a foreign government. he doesn't pay his taxes. he doesn't pay his fees, unlike the rest of nevada ranchers. then he doesn't follow the law. he continues to thumb his nose at authority. >> the idea that -- of course there's outrage as a result of those comments. the idea you would compare people who have lived on this land since the late 1800's, have farmed this land, ranched on this land since that time period, you would compare those people who killed other americans, whether it is the boston bombings or whether the twin towers were brought down, how could you make that comparison? >> the question this morning, the government's reaction to all of this,ç they're pulling guns on these individuals, on harry reid's community. these are folks that live in nevada. these are good, hard-working americans. so they disagree and the
3:04 am
government goes out there and pulls guns. now harry reid is calling them terrorists? that is a very sensitive word. the terrorists are the ones that blew up the world trade center on 9/11 and killed 3,000 individuals. >> dennis michael lynch is a documentary film maker who was out there. he saw the guns pointed at the people. he also saw the militia members as well who now harry reid callsç domestic terrorists extraordinarily. here are his observations. listen to this. >> i want to know why it is that i had m-16's pointed at my face, why those m-16's were pointed at women and children and hard-working ranchers. i want an explanation because the more i keep on looking at my footage, that looked like afghanistan. and if there was anything that was domestic terrorism, it was perpetuated by the government, not by the people. >> like a police state, when you have these soldiers marching in
3:05 am
basically commandeering part of a town and telling you not to protest. >> buny spoke out last night on fox and said our citizens are riled out, they are a loving people. we're upset with the government that is pulling out guns on us. >>ç you know what is interesting, to some cliven bundy is a free loader who owes millions of dollars in back fees. to others he is a hero standing up to the federal government. for harry reid to say people who support this guy who he feels is doing the right thing is extraordinary. one other thing, he said cliven bundy has not paid his taxes which is exactly the same thing he said about mitt romney who did pay his taxes. some radio station called cliven bundy and said have you paid yourç taxes? he said i have paid my taxes. i haven't paid my grazing fees. >> the president spoke on
3:06 am
foreign policy yesterday and the u.c. and tensions there -- in the ukraine as tensions there rise and russian forces continue to move into that area. the president has made repeated, i don't know, threats against vladimir putin basically saying we're not going to put military presence in that region, but we will have something that we might do which might be monetarily related and i'm not really sure. but we want you to know there is no military action on the table. >> are you saying rather than any military action, all we've got is an arsenal of words? and these are the scary words the president is using to try to get iran and syria and russia to knock it off.ç watch. >> as iran's leader continues to ignore their obligation, there shall be no doubt they too shall face growing consequences. that is a promise. i want to make it absolutely clear to assad and those under his
3:07 am
command, the world is watching. the use of chemical weapons is and would be totally unacceptable. and if you make the tragic mistake of using these weapons, there will be consequences, and you will be held accountable. what i've said consistently is that eachç time russia takes these kinds of steps that are designed to destabilize the ukraine and violate their sovereignty there are going to be consequences. >> he keeps saying there are going to be consequences, they've broken the law. the world is laughing at us. speak softly and carry a big nothing burger is essentially our foreign policy. >> teddy roosevelt would not be happy about the nothing burger. he says consequences in that same interview and then turns right around at the podium and says this. i think i've been very clear that military options are not on the table in ukraine because this is not a situation that would be
3:08 am
amenable to a clear military solution. those are the president's words. bliley took this to -- bill o'reilly took this to task last night. >> there is no will in america to fight evil unless we're directly attacked. the result is danger and aç weakening of presidential power. mr. obama is seen around the world as a man who will accommodate, not right wrongs. therefore, the power of america has declined. we cannot stop aggression. our allies are not even confident we'll help them if they get into trouble. the situation we have now is almost exactly the same as what president jimmy carter experienced in the late 1970's. the question is will the next president be able to restore american power as ronald reagan did? >> basically this is why bad people get to do bad things. there are no consequences and we're not doing anything about it and losing respect around the world. let us know what youç think. e-mail us at friends@foxnews.com or tweet us or go to facebook. >> is it a big nothing burger? those countries are going to wind up on probation.
3:09 am
facebook, us twitter us or e-mail us at friends at friends@foxnews.com. >> the deadliest disaster on the world's highest peak, an avalanche on mount everest left 12 people dead, three others are missing. it hit just below one of the camps at 21,000 feet. among those dead, guides trying to fix ropes for hundreds of those along the route. they were preparing to scale the mountain next month. >> new videoç inside that sunken ship. passengers cling to go whatever they could as that boat is shifting. 28 people are confirmed dead and 270 others are missing. investigators say the captain handed the wheel to the third mate when all those problems started. divers are pumping air into the boat in case there are any survivors under there

3:11 am
shot. are we clear? that's right. he was tryingç to get a picture with president clinton at the time and now he's writing a book about it. i guess they could hide someone. maybe i've seen too many movies. >> mr. met, what a threat. it is 11 minutes after the top of the hour. coming up chilling reports reminiscent of nazi germany. is russia handing out fliers telling jews to register in eastern ukraine? we're going to talk about that. >> in the south football is religion. but you better not bring your faith to the field. a former coach responds to the latest atheist assault ofç his alma mater. that's next. ♪ ♪ [announcer] play close-good and close. help keep teeth clean and breath fresh

in the south, football is religion but you better not bring your faith to the field. clemson's football program under attack now by atheists. >> wisconsin based -- wisconsin, not even in south carolina -- based freedom from religion foundation lodging a complaint writing christian worship seems interwoven in the clemson football program. religion andned that this athletics resultsç not from student initiative but rather from the attitudes and unconstitutional behaviors of the coaching staff. >> but nobody else aside from this outfit from wisconsin has complained, not even the players. why has the freedom from religion foundation made this an issue? >> for that we're going to turn to the former head football coach for clemson who hired davo. now davo is the head coach at clemson.
3:16 am
coach, what is your reaction to this? >> it doesn't surprise me. why would you not want to commingle with a resource that helpsç you make good decisions, whether it be a church where they learn how to make good decisions or a book, the bible, that teaches you how to make good decisions or associate yourself in a bible study where you learn how to make good decisions. it seems to be the mode of operation where you attack christianity in america now. >> this outfit from wisconsin says the team participates in bible studies, prayer services. and because they wind up getting some state money there is that whole separation of church and state thing. but the university has come out and said wait a minute, this is all voluntary. if somebody doesn't get involved, there are no repercussions. >> you know, the one thing they are, davo, when i was there, we were transparent. what you saw is what you got. they're not hiding anything. the other thing you mentioned is voluntary. i think we make it voluntary. when you coach in the bible belt in the south, most ofç

3:18 am
even if it involves an aspect of christianity. >> coach, as a coach, how important is it to you, do you inject christianity into the program or is it just there and people can partake if they want to? how do you juggle it? >> steve, most christian head coaches, they feel like they're called into the profession and called into a certain place. they feel it is important to be a walkingç billboard. they yawned state university, you have -- they understand state university, you have to be careful. you walk that fine line. the bible says as christians we're going to be held accountable for the opportunities we have and most coaches feel like they have an opportunity. when you're vocal you know you're going to be under attack. you just better have a plan. like i said, being successful is about making good decision. the bible is a book about making good decisions. church is a place where you encourage your team to go, not perfect people but people making good

3:20 am
the teams you're playing next year and the majority of them have chaplains. that includes up north and down south as well. >> ainsley, you're from south carolina. you know how serious thousands cows were, those cowboys, christianity in south carolina is important, in the middle of the bible belt. if you don't have a president that supports you, you're going to be looking for a new president. presidents in the south, they understand that. you're going to see very littleç resistance from the university in a matter like this. your husband, bill proctor, by the way, kept me employed for a few years by winning a good bit of games. >> coach, thank you very much. we should point out clemson says they're not breaking any rules, they're not going to change anything. 20 minutes after the top of the hour. >> what was president obama's toughest interview? was it bill o'reilly's?

3:25 am
on her 2016 potential run for president. millions more documents still to be released. >> she hasn't thrown her hat in the ring yet for the white house but a brand-new fox news poll found 54% of voters found hillary clinton trustworthy. have voters forgotten about the scandals like benghazi? >> the fact is we have four dead americans. was it because of a protester was it because of guys out for a walk one night and decided they would go kill some americans. what difference at this point does it make? >> how many times will we see that clip during the campaign season? joining us now is fox news contributor dennis kucinich. what do you make of theseç trustworthy polls, hillary clinton ahead of chris christie and jeb bush. >> any polls that come out right now are a weather report. the sun is shining today but they can't predict what is going to happen in november of 2016.
3:26 am
that is the first thing. the second thing is with respect to the clip you've shown on benghazi, as much as has been said about benghazi, there is always the chance that more information could come out. it's not like the book is closed on these things. the third thing is that the american people aren't focused on every scintilla of information, and sometimes they're not going to make a decisionç based on one matter. they look at a general picture. and frankly, secretary clinton pab around for -- has been around for almost three decades. she is an established figure in public life and is going to be judged on a whole range of factors not just the scandals out there. >> here's a look back at some of the thing clinton has had to deal with. travelgate in 1993, the clinton administration firing the white house travel staff. remember that? you go to whitewater in 1994 and the failed real estate dealings there. 1997 scandal against the
3:27 am
clinton task force. most recently to benghazi. is it that americans have already vetted her? is that the argument here, that we already know her and that, therefore, we are giving her a pass? >> americans know her. that's true. secretary clinton gets a pass. but it does mean that a lot of that is old news and people are not as enamored with mulling over old news as they are about what's happening now and about their own personal interests. and for the american people in 2016, they're going to be concerned about jobs, about their standard of living, about whether the middle class is going to survive, about whether people are going to be able to get back into the economy. i think that there's a lot there for any candidate who gets in the race. but theç fact that secretary clinton has a level of trust that is more than let's say some other candidates who are in that poll, that's interesting but it is not necessarily
3:28 am
predictive. there is a larger issue here and that is the breakdown on trust in government and the breakdown on trust in our society. that is something that whoever runs in 2016 is going to have to work to repair. spaeup that might be part -- >> that may be part and parcel of a poll that says americans response to who was blamed in benghazi, 57% of those poll blamed her. dennis kucinich, good to see you, congressman. >> thank you. happy easter. >> happy easter to you as well. comingç up, chilling reports reminiscent of nazi germany. is russia handing out fliers telling people to register in eastern ukraine. first, happy birthday to

4:09 am
you walk that fine line, but again, the bible tells us as christians, we're going to be held accountable for the opportunities that we have. most coaches feel like they have an opportunity and when you're vocal, you know you're going to be under attack. you just better have a plan. but like i said, being successful is about making good decisions. the bible is a book about making good decisions. church is a place where you encourage your team to go. not perfect people, but people trying to make good decisions. i want my players to go to bible studies. that's where other players are trying to make good and wise decisions. so to me, christianity in athletics is a perfect marriage when you combine the two. >> meanwhile, the freedom from religion foundation from wisconsin, their complaint says that the christian worship seems interwoven into clemson's football program. we are concerned that this commingling of religion and athletics results not from student initiative but rather from the attitudes and unconstitutional behaviors of the coaching staff.

can provide 24 hour relief for many with arthritis pain and inflammation. plus, in clinical studies, celebrex is proven to improve daily physical function so moving is easier. celebrex can be taken with or without food. and it's not a narcotic. you and your doctor should balance the benefits with the risks. all prescription nsaids, like celebrex, ibuprofen, naproxen and meloxicam have the same cardiovascular warning. they all may increase the chance of heart attack or stroke, which can lead to death. this chance increases if you have heart disease or risk factors such as high blood pressure or when nsaids are taken for long periods. nsaids, like celebrex, increase the chance of serious skin or allergic reactions, or stomach and intestine problems, such as bleeding and ulcers, which can occur without warning and may cause death. patients also taking aspirin and the elderly are at increased risk for stomach bleeding and ulcers. don't take celebrex if you have bleeding in the stomach or intestine, or had an asthma attack, hives, other allergies to aspirin, nsaids or sulfonamides. get help right away if you have swelling of the face or throat, or trouble breathing.

4:15 am
the writer then goes on to link the shooter with veterans, saying, quote, the return of veterans from combat appears to correlate more closely with clan membership than any other historical factor. is that really accurate? is that fit to print? retired lieutenant colonel oliver north is fox news military analyst. he took a look at it. what do you think? according to the "new york times," people go off to war and come back and join the klan. >> a typical "new york times" unconscionable strike back at those who served in the military. all of that obama caring narrative about those who fought in the war. those who fought in it and protect our land today. remember, john kerry said we were pot headed marauders, that we raped, pillaged, burned in vietnam. it was a lie then. it's lie today. it's being furthered by another left wing academic and published in one of the big media outlets
4:16 am
for the far left. here are some facts that they didn't get right. 8.7 million americans served the united states military during the war. more than 2.6 million of us served honorably in vietnam, on the battlefield. 58,000-plus were killed in action. 303,000 or more were wounded in action. 2300 still missing in action. 760 known pows, of which 114 died and others are still in the missing. it's unconclusionable that the "new york times" would publish this kind of a column. where, i ask this question -- where is the outrage from the secretary of veterans affairs? where is the outrage from the department of defense, the secretary of defense? why isn't he demanding a retraction? how about the commander in chief who ought to be standing up for the troops? instead it was his department of homeland security that published an inconsciencable piece publish to do warn everybody about those
4:17 am
of us who served in combat. >> i was going to back up what you're saying. but if you are a regular reader of the "new york times," you realize that the "new york times" is not a newspaper that supports america's military. >> no. and broadly across the board with the media. think about what they've done to the soldiers, sailor, airmen, guardsmen i've covered for 15 years. 57 am vets. they made abu ghraib look like it was a regular thing and beat it like a mule for four years. senator dick durbin who likened those of white house served in this war to those who served hitler, polpot and stalin. a "new york times" correspondent described those who served as, quote, nothing but poor people from mississippi, texas and alabama who couldn't get a decent job so they joined the military.
4:18 am
i got news for mr. hedges and the rest of the people from the "new york times." dead wrong. those who serve in our military today, steve, are the best and bravest of their generation. they are just like their parents who were part of that greatest generation who went off and did their duty and never got the thanks they deserve. what happened to our vietnam vets should never have happened. it shouldn't be happening now. we ought to get down on our knees over easter week and thank god that we had people willing to serve our country in a time of great divisiveness and yet stood up and did their duty. >> well put. it's just part of the narrative. we heard this narrative start in the last couple weeks where there are racist elements in the right wing of america's political system. and now to have the "new york times" inject into the mainstream media the suggestion that guys who come back from combat are joining the klan is flat out crazy. >> well, it's again, part of
4:19 am
that same narrative. when we had that terrible event here at the navy yard, literally a few hundred yards from where i'm sitting here, what was that line? navy vet kills 12. the fact this this guy went out and killed people had nothing to do with the fact that he had been in the navy. same thing with fort hood a few weeks ago. that guy never saw combat. he doesn't have posttraumatic stress from being in the army. the reality of it is, the united states military today has extraordinary skill sets. on top of that, there is great screening to prevent those kinds of people from coming in the military and the one that she writes about in this column was accuse of killing people, the fact is, he was dismissed from the army because he had those kinds of activities in his background. >> all right. ollie north, great talk to you on this good friday. thank you for putting the word out. >> thank you. happy easter. >> thank you, you, too. what do you think about that? e-mail us. up next, chilling reports reminiscent of nazi germany. is russia handing out flyers telling jews to register in

it's been almost 13 years since terrorists attacked america on 9-11. these pictures, the painful memories, the american people, we will never forget. but it appears that some of our elected leaders have already forgotten. not only did new york city's mayor shut down a program to hunt down muslim extremists, now new reports claim the obama administration might be tampering with trials, delaying justice for the terrorists who planned those attacks. joe conner lost his cousin in the north tower of the world trade center that day. joe, also lost his father in 1975 in a terrorist attack here in new york city. joe, this really hits home for
4:44 am
you. >> yeah. it absolutely does. i work here in new york. we're connected to new york. we've been through now twice as a family. and to think that we're now shutting down these surveillance programs and announcing it. i think that's an important part, too. not only are we saying that there has been surveillance, but now we're shutting it down. that weeks of politic. >> bill de blasio has said this is fair, that he's glad that the program has been shut down. these were investigators that were going through e-mails watching muslims where they pray, extreme muslims to find out where they're praying and get information just to prevent another 9-11. >> yeah. we all struggle with the first amendment and fighting terrorism. but quite honestly, if we're focusing on those people who are preaching hate and i think we have to surveil them and i think we have to be on top of this and know what they're saying. >> are we becoming too pc?
4:45 am
>> we're past that, i think. pc used to be a nuisance. now it's a noose. pc almost gives it not a strong enough term. i think it's worse than that. i think we are capitulating and if we think that by giving in to terrorists that they're going to like us, we haven't learned the lessons of history. >> as a result, we don't feel as safe. i remember -- i watched one of the movies -- i can't remember the name of it. the one that recently was leased and we walked out of the heater and said thank goodness this is not -- in our country, we can walk out of a heater and don't have to worry about being shot. this was a movie about afghanistan and what's what's going on in afghanistan. and. >> "zero dark thirty." >> yeah, exactly. >> we said, we don't have to deal with that. should we now as americans, we're not surveilling our extreme muslims. we're delaying these trial down in gitmo right now. should we feel we're not as safe? >> i think we should.

4:47 am
so after releasing terrorists in '99 to gain traction for hillary clinton's 2000 senate run, delaying these trial, it's nothing to them. at the same time, i think the defense is also looking to delay these things, push them out, push them out in the hopes of eventually getting them on trial in civilian court in new york. >> the administration needs to think about your family this holy weekend because two chairs at your dining room table are empty. >> you're right. and i wanted to say my cousin, steve, who was killed on 9-11, yesterday would have been his birthday. he was born on easter sunday, 1960. and we suffer, his parents suffer action his sisters suffer every day. my father was his godfather. it's the families. i feel for those people who went to guantanamo bay. they are seek justice as we have for so long. it seems the politics of the

the government's new common core curriculum 'cause add huge fire storm when it was implemented in public schools for being too difficult and out of touch. now it's being implemented in certain private catholic schools as well. maureen ferguson is a senior policy advisor at the catholic association. she joins us from beautiful bitten beach, florida this morning of the good morning to you. >> good morning. it's great to be with you. >> it's great to have you as well. so there are a number of catholic schools that have decided we're going to go ahead, we're going to try out the common core in our schools. do you think that's a good idea? >> well, there was already a pretty robust debate about whether the common core was a good idea for the public
5:15 am
schools. you have people of goodwill, very well-respected, educational reformers on both sides of the question. so the question of whether the catholic schools ought to be adopting it is a very different one and a lot of catholic educators are raising a lot of questions and concerns pointing out that catholic schools are actually already doing a great job of educating kids. they have higher sat score, higher graduation rates. 99% graduation rates. a lot of these catholic schools are located in the inner cities where schools tend to be struggling. higher college attendance rates. so the story of catholic schools in america is really the education success story. so a lot of people are questioning, well, should we really adopt this new program that is pretty untested and people aren't quite sure how it's going to -- what the outcome will be. >> could we put up that graphic again as maureen was talking about the graduation rate? we showed catholic schools is
5:16 am
99%. at public schools, it's 78%. maureen, i think they got it backwards. i think the public schools should be doing what they're doing in the catholic schools because they're obviously doing a better job. >> well, as i've said, chief have a record of success and the common core is a very pragmatic approach, the idea is to have kids, college and career ready. the catholic schools are already doing that, of course. but they do so much more because they're seeking to educate the whole person. they're seeking to educate hearts and minds. it comes from a faith perspective, of course, which the common core doesn't. and catholic schools are trying to teach students to live a life of service to god and their family and their community. so there is a question of there being a different mission between the common core and the catholic schools. and not that it necessarily wouldn't work in the catholic schools, but catholic schools aren't just -- if you just had the common core plus a religion
5:17 am
class, that doesn't really equal what catholic schools are doing now. >> that's well put. i know that there are a lot of people who feel that some of the questions in the common core curriculum are completely inappropriate for children of that age. one of the things that bothers you about the common core is the fact that they don't really impress upon the students that they should be reading the literature. instead, they should be reading from informational texts. that's crazy. >> it's a combination of literature and informational texts. but it's a shift away from the emphasis on literature. of course, in classical education in a catholic school, the reading of great books is something that helps us form our views about humanity and learn about the struggle of good and evil and the nature of authentic true love. these are things that do make you successful in college and in a career. but they also can help make you more successful in life. >> yeah. well put. why read that great novel when
5:18 am

we should worry about the life that we are leaving. and today is a good friday for us here at the freedom from religion foundation because this marks the 18th anniversary of our federal court victory overturning good friday as a state holiday here in wisconsin, which was a major entanglement of religion and government of which we were told we had to worship between particular hours and public buildings were closed. we work for separation of church and state. >> virginia, as a christian, what's your reaction? >> well, i just think it's kind of sad that on the week that christians are celebrating the most significant part of their religion, the resurrection of jesus christ, and jewish people are celebrating passover, that we are attacked and denigrated. it doesn't feel right. now, they certainly have a right, a constitutional right to express their opinions and many good people have fought and died for that right for them as well
