happy easter, america. abby: what do you normally do on east other morning? i think about my parents would do, they would wake us up and the easter bunny would come and we would do an easter hunt, everybody goes run to go try to find the basket. when you get it it's the best feeling ever. [laughter] pete: seems the bunny is here to greet us. abby: we have -- the easter bunny came to the "fox & friends" this morning. pete: he's hiding eggs. jon: if you're a kid and have not had a visit from the easter bunny, he will be as soon as he gets here. pete: he's been hiding so many eggs. abby: i love easter. reminds me of the easter bunny. jon: the bunny use today hide eggs in the backyard.

>> happy easter, just hours before vice president mike pence landed in north korea, the blatant failure coming amidst high tension on the korean peninsula and moments ago vice president pence commenting. >> this morning's provocation from the north is just the latest reminder of the risks each one of you face every day. >> failure and embarrassment for a regime who celebrated 105th anniversary. many wonder how the trump administration would respond. jim mattis issuing this statement, quote, the president and his military team are aware of north korea's most recent unsuccessful launch. the president has no further comment. the uss carl vinson is positioned in the region as vice

president pence begin and no comment from pyongyang, guys. pete: a failed missile launch from them yesterday but certainly a sense that the pressure the trump team has put on china and north korea has recalibrated their calculation. jon: it's also not out of the realm of possibility that the united states may have had a finger in this. the new"the new york times" had a fascinating article a month ago about efforts the united states has been making. the north koreans have had a terrible record when it comes to these launches and it is believed some top secret measures that the u.s. and allies have taken to make these rockets go astray. pete: that's the first thing i thought when i heard it. but you never know. jon: i'm sure many of the nsa are talking about this morning. abby: highlight it is escalating tension that exists today not

just in knot korea and now iran is out there trying to flex their own muscle, we are going to build our own military. this is from their president, whether he ask no one's permission to build up the armed forces and to build missiles and aircraft. just to highlight what president trump is faced with at this very moment. it's not just north korea and not just syria, you have iran, you have china and i mentioned this yesterday that continues to be the most important player here. they are the only ones that would get north korea's hands ties. pete: did you study how north korea got to bombs and missiles, preview of what could look like in iran. we signed the same kind of agreement in north korea based on u.s. resolutions and sanks and all we were going to do to prevent the regime. they ignored the agreements. in iran, tell me that pursuit of ballistic missiles is part of the nuclear deal, jpcoa, of course not, they were going to violate the tbroament at every turn.

i think the trump administration certainly paying attention to iran. the world's most prominent state sponsor of terrorism says we are going to build whatever we want and it's clear they have intentions to get a nuclear weapon. jon: of course, they like this with the north koreans. pete: that's right, the whole access, north korea, russia -- abby: all tieing together. pete: working together. abby: mike pence as we mentioned with his wife karen in south korea and will be going to japan as well. i have been to seoul. you can see the zone that's 30 miles all from seoul korea. we don't know what they're capable of doing. pete: 15,000 missiles pointed at seoul, a city of 10 million people. it's a consequences if things

ratchet up. jon: speech rally at berkeley and abby what happened? abby: anally leftists turned against trump supporters. >> you stupid -- i'm a patriot. [inaudible conversations] >> i don't think so. [inaudible conversations] >> i came out here because i'm a patriot. i'm a veteran in the united states army and all my brothers are here supporting our

constitution. like they treat everybody. they are willing to pick on me. i ripped the flag out of one guy's hand. i don't know if anybody saw that. he was starting to burn it. for -- pete: this was a veteran confronting protestor, big cowñ courage from the tough guy. looks at the vet and says you're antiamerican which the vet doesn't take, you know, too kindly to. >> abby: 20 people were arrested. 11 injured, one person even stabbed from these. here is what i always go back to. i'm all for free speech in the country. that's what makes us great.

i still can't figure out what they're trying to get at. what's their message. pete: ant fascist who want to shut down free speech which doesn't make any sense at all. jon: for many of them free speech is a great thing as long as you agree with them and if you do not agree with them, then you are not allowed free speech. abby: you know what my mom says about that, it's called conditional love, right? we should be reminded of unconditional love even though people don't agree with you, we don't need to turn violent. that's not what we are all about. pete: they didn't come there for violence, when they were assaulted they did fight back. they had them running down the streets. one trump supporter even gave them a wedgy. [laughter] abby: what did the photo look like. a punk kid giving a punk kid a

wedgy. antifascists, what do you expect? you are assaulting these people and the flag, you are burning flags, the confrontation with the vet was potentially burning of a flag. this guy served the country for that flag and looking at some punk kid wanting to burn it. abby: he was blown away of what he was watching. pete: watching the country unravel in that sense in front of him. abby: u.s. condemning a violent blast in syria ripping through a bus depo killing at least a hundred people, thousands of syrian evacuees, among the dead government supporters, opposition fighters and children adding a new urgency to the chaos in that region. no one has claimed responsibility for that attack. north korea's escalating threat not detouring vice president mike pence as arrives to pass ífic region -- pacific region.

ask your hep c specialist about harvoni. abby: welcome back, president trump's administration has come under fire for keeping white house visitor logs quiet. >> the white house announcing tonight that it will be keeping visitor logs private. that means very simply we will not know who visits the white house, this is a total break from precedent. >> breaking from an obama-era practice of making those records public through the white house website. >> this is basically saying on the part of the trump administration, that the nation's business is nobody's business. >> it's not just about who comes in and out of the white house, it's about which individuals or groups might be trying to influence this administration on policy. jon i don't know so is this reversal of shot of transparency or is the media feeling snubbed

once again? abby: caitlin collins, happy oather to you. >> good morning. abby: what do you think is going on here. >> so this is overblown by the media, hysteria over this is out of control because these visitor logs that barack obama made public in a push for transparency were never really that transparent after all. president maintained the right to keep name off the list on personal matter. when jay z came up, his name didn't show up. even if you have an appointment scheduled, it said that you were at the white house. it wasn't like we knew everybody who was at the white house during barack obama years but this is an opportunity for trump won up transparency and he didn't take it. jon: a lot of the meetings about what your going to do with tax money and so forth, those don't take place at the white house.

>> exactly. there's a dozen coffee shops nearby where people could go but i would like to point out when mike flynn and yef sessions were under fire from meeting with russian embassador to the united states, i decided to go through log white house visitor log, he showed up in the logs dozens of times and donald trump tweeted out that story when jeff sessions is coming under fire for meeting him. so it was something that he liked then but now they don't want to make them public and we don't know who is welcomed at his white house. abby: could it be president trump protecting the people that are coming to see him. you remember during transition people coming in and out of trump tower. steve harvey gets grilled. >> judge nominations, et cetera, and that's their argument that it's a national security concern. jon: but it's also true in washington if you want to bury bad news or a story that you

don't think is going to be particularly well covered, you do it on the friday of a holiday weekend which is exactly when this white house announced this. >> good friday, no one was in town and that's when they did it. that's a little suspicious to people, they haven't formally announced it yet. everything has been from white house officials on background. they haven't come out and said it. when i asked sean spicer about it all he said that they were reviewing the policy. he didn't say who was reviewing it and what the extent of that review was but clearly they made the decision not to release these. abby: good to have you this morning. thank you so much. jon: coming up. a failed missile law firm and embarrassment for north korea. but what is their next move lieutenant and chang next. abby: there's a battle brewing in the white house between moderates and conservatives, but how true are those rumors, corey

lewandowsky is here to break all that down. i picked out my dream car. just because i configured it online doesn't mean it really exists at a dealership, but with truecar, i get real pricing on actual cars in my area, so i know i can go to a truecar-certified dealer and it'll be there waiting for me. this is truecar.

this after the same judge was seen at a death penalty protest the same day the stay was ordered. the state is rushing the executions before the legal drugs are off the market. pete: north korea attempting another missile launch but failed miserably. parade in pyongyang showing off military might and amid growing tensions between america and north korean regime. here vice president to dick cheney michael walts, thank you very much for joining us this morning. gordon, i want to start with you, events in the last 24, 48 hours s there any change you're seeing from the north korean regime, what do you expect from them next? >> i expect something provocative.

they embarrassed themselves which failed few seconds after taking off. we have to remember that kim jong un has a shaky regime. this is incredibly humiliating for him so he has to strike out and do something, another missile launch, maybe detonation of the nuke that they buried in the mountain in northeast north korea, whether he see something. i don't know what it will be but it should probably occur soon because kim jong un wants to show strength. pete: we have seen a turn from china, a little bit more pressure on north korea, is that working or will the regime continue to lash out? >> pete, i think it's important what didn't happen yesterday on the 105th anniversary of north korea's founder and that was the tet nation of north korea's sixth nuclear test. a lot of folks were expecting that. we saw a lot of activity around test site and it didn't happen. we have to ask ourselves why.

a few things have gone on since president trump met with president xi at mar-a-lago. a number of ships were turned around, two, the chinese-state run agency said which is often a mouthpiece for the chinese regime, look, north korea, if you detonate this nuclear test, we are going to stop selling you oil and then 3, we've had this kind of interesting back and forth between president trump and president xi where they're essentially complementing each other. you to ask yourself what kind of deal was struck at mar a law agoo and we are seeing them turn the screws on the north korean regime and changed calculus when president trump said, china take care of this or we will. pete: is this a guy who ebles they have robust military capabilities or are they -- do they know ultimately they're fighting a losing hand and they're going to beat their

chest to make and look themselves feel good. >> i think kim jong un believes in his regime long-term because most of the time, most of the time they have china at their back. it was very good that president trump -- xi jinping leaned on kim jong un not to test nuclear device. nonetheless, when we don't pay attention to china, when we don't turn pressure on them, the chinese will go back to the old way of doing this which is pyongyang because pyongyang has short objectives with the chinese. he can get through the next two or three months, he will be okay, that means that president trump needs to keep up the pressure. pete: colonel waltz could include limited action, what would be the pressure for trust taking a proactive measure? s are our intelligence

capability starts to see north korea march closer and closer to having an intercontinental ballistic missile, at some point they are going to cross the line where we have to take it out militarily. during this parade that the north koreans had yesterday, they showed off two new missiles, a lot of folks don't realize that they have a submarine launch ballistic missile capability and we saw some interesting new launch vehicle that is can go off road and can be hidden from our satellites or at least make them a lot harder to find. as we keep watching watching the regime and we see where they have crossed the threshold, we are going to hit them. pete: interesting stuff. thank you very much for your expertise this morning. appreciate it. >> happy easter. pete: happy easter to you too. coming up, is there any truth about a white house battle between moderates and conservatives. trump insider corey lewandowsky

yesterday. >> thank goodness. jon: april gave birth. >> the mainstream media cannot -- can now rest once again. pete: they didn't cover it sufficiently so we had to cover it. >> now we have one solved. abby: some real news. the media on reports on battle between conservatives and moderates in the white house steve bannon versus others, what's going on? >> look, i think what the media doesn't want to look at is that anybody who is not on the president's agenda should not be there and what i mean by that is if you don't support the president 100%, you're not just doing the president a disservice but the the american people disservice. we saw that jeff session interview last night with judge

jeanine and outlined on what the president trump's agenda is. if anybody is in the white house, conservative, moderate, i don't care who you are, if you're not in the agenda, you shouldn't be there. pete: influence of conservatives are weaning and others with more influencing. >> it's all about serving the president. the president is the person who drives the agenda inside the white house. it's not anybody else. when the president has a desire to get something accomplished, he's the one moving that forward. does he take advice and council from people from all political spectrums, of course, he does, that's the way he ran his campaign and if he looks at what's the most important thing, repealing and replacing obamacare and cutting taxes, he takes input by as many people as possible so he can get the results that he demands. jon: there are questions about

the president's agenda, he had a great week obviously a lot of positive press after the strike in syria and the dropping to have moab but the journalists who covered the white house are calling him flip-flopper in chief, nato was bad during the campaign, now nato is good, russia was sort of good during the campaign, now russia is bad. is that a change in attitude on the part of the president? >> well, it's more of a change in attitude from the mainstream media. it's amazing that they want to attack him all of the time. when he does things that they actually agree with, these are things that barack obama refused to do. we saw the john kerry, former secretary of state came out in support of the strike in syria because that barack obama didn't have the with where al to stand to it. the media has no choice now but to actually support the president on his swift and decisive military action. it's something that they should be supportive of and this is what the president has said, he will do anything it takes to radar the nation and the world

of isis. that's why he dropped the bomb in afghanistan and he made a policemen and this this is the fulfillment of a campaign promise. abby: what are your plans today? >> i'm so excited, we are going to easter brunch at the trump hotel, very excited and tomorrow the easter egg roll, very exciting time. pete: very cool. i believe our own ainsley earhardt will be there too. be sure to say hi to her. >> i will. thank you. abby: major break on a horrific murder of a jogger that worked for google. angelo ortiz leaving her body near her mother's home. linking his dna to the crime scene, ortiz is expected to face murder charges. more trouble for united airlines embolden by the airline

but also just deciding i am not going to give up my identity as a follower of christ as christians because i'm afraid. that's a beautiful thing. i think it's a great message for the west because sometimes we say, i think i am going to give up because i'm kind of tired this morning or -- jon: decline of the church in places where it is not persecuting, western europe, church attendance has fallen off dramatically and people in places like egypt and nigeria who are persecuted for their faith, they are still attending. >> i'm sure there are a lot of reasons but when we get comfortable we can start to thinking that this is going to last forever, this is pretty good, i don't need anything else. in reality, we were born to die. we are all going to die. i hate to bring that up on a early sunday morning we all know it and the message on easter, i know you have sinned and messed up and i know there are consequences to that sin which is death but i have a new solution for you, that is

accepting me out of love with the chance of eternal life and that's why the christians persecuted and not only christians, let's be honest, on this day of easter we look at christians in a special way and we say, they have decided that they're going to live for something beyond the here no. abby: great message. we noticed it. you look fabulous. pete: wildness. abby: and you brought your mother. >> i did. abby: you brought your beautiful mom from ohio. >> i did. abby: your biggest fan. we celebrate the mystery of easter which is christ dying for our sins and resurrecting from the dead but things like family, everything that's good and beautiful, everything that's true brings us to think closer to god and close to those things that make us better and family is one of the big ones. abby: come on over. [laughter]

abby: happy easter. pete: what's it like to have this son here. we have seven children and it's nice to have this one. and all of them. pete: thank you for being here. >> thank you, happy easter to all of you. pete: we have a big show ahead on easter morning. rob o'neil as well as dan, all here live in the next hour. the american flag is under attack yet again. one flag decided to hang the old glory, well, it's now optional. we will bring that to you i'm thomas and i quit smoking with chantix. i was very grateful to have chantix. at times when i would normally go smoke,

i just didn't. it's kind of like "wait a minute, i would normally be running out the door to go grab a cigarette." along with support, chantix (varenicline) is proven to help people quit smoking. chantix reduced my urge to smoke. some people had changes in behavior, thinking or mood, hostility, agitation, depressed mood and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after stopping chantix. some reported seizures or sleepwalking with chantix. if you have any of these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away. tell your doctor about any history of mental health problems, which could get worse or of seizures. don't take chantix if you've had a serious allergic or skin reaction to it. if you have these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away as some can be life-threatening. tell your doctor if you have heart or blood vessel problems, or develop new or worse symptoms. get medical help right away if you have symptoms of a heart attack or stroke. decrease alcohol use while taking chantix. use caution driving or operating machinery. most common side effect is nausea. thank you chantix. ask your doctor if chantix is right for you.

pete: american flag is under attack in a college campus yet again. this time uc davis where the student senate vote today remove the flag, the concept of the united states of america and patriotism is different for every individual, it should not be compulsory that the flag is in view at all times during senate meetings. jon: here on this campus reform, phillips, what the heck is going on? >> patriotism triggering people now. this may be shocking for viewers at home. but anyone who steps foot on the college campus, they know this is the environment we have where students are coddled and encouraged to be offended by

everything, in this case the american flag which ironically enough protects their very right to peacefully assemble. they are now trying to remove it. it's just a harmless procedural thing they're doing to make the flag not necessary, but make no mistake about it. the american flag for some time has been under attack and american exceptionalism to its core is now being questioned specially on college campus. pete: very much so. we have a statement from the uc senators, the bill only remove that had the flag be at meetings leaving it up to members, we are understanding that everybody's definition of patriotism differs and we want to celebrate that. that would be an inappropriate time to display the american flag? >> there is not an inappropriate time to display the american flag, good luck telling the students that. if this was one isolated innocent you can talk about crazy college students.

and the university of new mexico a student was almost punished. we saw members at new hampshire college where after donald trump was elected removed their flags because students needed to have conversations about what the american flag stood for now adays. this is a concerted effort and you no longer teach america to be proud of, they are not teaching american exceptionalism and it's hard to be surprised that we are seeing this. jon: student senator who wrote this bill was recently naturalized as an american citizen and we reached out to the author and we got no response. pete: this is not a isolated incident. >> absolutely, when you look at who the kids all voted for, most of the kids they a loved bernie sanders as idol, throughout campaign what was he doing, look

at canada, look at sweden, they are doing great. the students see the other countries and think america is no longer something to be proud of. pete: you will never believe while the failing new york times is attacking president trump, stick around for this. ed. it's good to be in, good hands. termites, we're on the move.24/7. roger.

trump in california and at least 13 people are in handcuffs. >> by going to the borrower border this week you sent a message to a lot of people. >> this border is not open, if you come to america come lawfully, don't come unlawfully, that's a huge factor in the decline in the attempts to enter america. ♪ ♪ ♪ pete good morning on beautiful easter morning here on 48th and sixth avenue in downtown manhattan. abby: all the way to fox and friends plaza. jon: the kids are coming for face painting and arts and craft in the plaza. abby: can you hear that?

earlier his family joining him to lay a wreath at the seoul cemetery.

pete: joining us this morning great guest for this easter morning is governor mike huckabee. >> happy easter to you. pete: very much so. it turns out to be that we end up talking about the unholiest of regimes like north korea who attempted a missile launch yesterday that failed miserably, what's your take on things that have transpired in the north korean peninsula? r explodes on the pad kind of like an exploding cigar. we can't this too lightly because this is a leader who is clearly irrational and insane and the thing you have to worry about someone who is a lunatic, when he says he's going to do something, he's crazy enough to do it. that was the lesson we should have learned from hitler. for anybody to do less than take kim jong un seriously is a fat

tale mistake for somebody. that's why i think we have to look at this in terms of containing him, get with the chinese, the japanese, the south koreans, the rest of the world and say, we've got to put an end to this because it's getting out of hand. jon: of course, north korea doesn't have many friends in the world. one of them is iran. how are you concerned about iran's next move? >> iran irrational, they're not completely lunatic, they are fan at call when they come to religious zeal. but let's not ever forget that their irrational behavior toward christians and jews and particular but even toward other muslims who aren't shiites is incredible. to think that you can sit down and have a reasonable conversation, negotiation, it was the mistake of the obama administration, i hope the trump administration doesn't even get close to making the same mistake and again takes seriously when

they say officially at the united nations that they will wipe israel on the face of the map and one day come back and get the big satan, the u.s. abby: there are still members oh this country that are up and arms about president trump not releasing tax returns even celebrity was out in the middle of protests yesterday. take a listen to what she said and also the reporter, the follow-up up question. >> if you care about the american people, you will release your taxes. [inaudible] abby: you heard the question describe the threat that the president is to our democracy.

>> it's stunning for people to say i'm not going to pay my taxes because i don't agree with the government. there are a lot of things i don't agree with the government about. that's a felony, they are subjecting themselves to getting arrested. the president does not require to release tax returns. as a candidate he had to release and public official he has to release financial statement which is far more detailed than a tax return would ever be. there's not a hollywood celebrity who could understand donald trump's returns if he did release them. they're not that smart. what's the point of that? he's released statements of financial interest, it's very detailed financial information and i will guaranty you they don't understand that much less a tax return. pete: a statement like that reveals media bias as does another one -- i believe going to air today from abc's george

stephanopolis, listen. >> i'm not sure there's two sides to every story. i think that's actually one of the challenges we are deal lg with right now. how do you contend with a situation where they're actually -- we know there's a truth and we know there's a false and one side is trying to say no, two sides of this, that's become much more difficult, much more challenging and that means we can't do the things necessarily that we would have, at what point when a white house, a member of congress, a senator refuses to accept reality, at one point you say, you're not allowed to come on anymore and broadcast that reality. there's not another side to certain questions and it's not serving our viewers to allow people to come on and say things at some point that are not true. pete: i'm not sure if you have a camera there or screen but showed mike pence over him

talking while it was going. the media saying, it's one side and it's ours. >> i have a question for george step on all of us, here would be the question, if you don't have to pay attention to things that you don't think are the reality as you see them, why should we the rest of the american people pay attention to the things that you say that are clearly divorced from reality. george stepanoolous. he was a democratic operative and worked in the clinton white house and was part of the clinton machine that got him elected president and for him to pretend that he's totally removed and utterly objective is absurd. ii don't understand how they can pretend that they have a lock on the truth and the rest of us are ignorant. i think that's why the media's ratings are in the toilet and i

would quote jesus, you should know the truth but it's not anybody's individual version of the truth, it's the objective truth and that's hard to come by. abby: i love your easter ping tie, governor. >> thank you. we will go to church with grandkids this morning and we will do some easter fun, dying eggs and hunting eggs with part of the grandkids, the ones that are in arkansas. abby: how many grandkids do we -- you have now? >> soon to be six. he will be here the end of may. 5 and under so it's kind of loud when everybody is together. the sound of four jets on a 747 in full throttle is basically the volume level. jon: the easter bunny has been here and we expect him to make way to arkansas. >> tell pete not to -- abby: a

little too tight there. jon: president trump is blasting former president obama saying his inaction in syria made the world less safe and one former obama administration officials agrees. that official joins us next. pete: you'll never believe why the failing new york times is attacking the president this morning, he doesn't have a dog, that's a new line. abby: a huge show still ahead. rob o'neil and dan manzino, live this hour. so is the easter bunny. pete: yeah. there's a denture adhesive that holds strong until evening.

...one of many pieces in my life. so when my asthma symptoms kept coming back on my long-term control medicine. i talked to my doctor and found a missing piece in my asthma treatment with breo. once-daily breo prevents asthma symptoms. breo is for adults with asthma not well controlled on a long-term asthma control medicine,

like an inhaled corticosteroid. breo won't replace a rescue inhaler for sudden breathing problems. breo is specifically designed to open up airways to improve breathing for a full 24 hours. breo contains a type of medicine that increases the risk of death from asthma problems and may increase the risk of hospitalization in children and adolescents. breo is not for people whose asthma is well controlled on a long-term asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. once your asthma is well controlled, your doctor will decide if you can stop breo and prescribe a different asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. do not take breo more than prescribed. see your doctor if your asthma does not improve or gets worse. ask your doctor if 24-hour breo could be a missing piece for you. learn more about better breathing at mybreo.com.

>> using horrible, horrible chemical weapons, which they agreed not to use under the obama administration but they violated it. what i did, should have been done by the obama administration a long time before i did it. jon: he's not the only one who thinks so. president trump blasting his pred sorries inaction in syria saying president obama left the world less safe. pete: among those who agree, several former obama administration officials and one of those officials joining us now, his name is berry pavel and he was on president trump's security council staff and now the senior vice president at the atlantic council. thank you very much for joining thus morning. where do you believe president obama went wrong? >> well, i think the main issue and let me just be clear, i was a career civil servant so i

worked for democratic administrations and republican administrations. i think they looked at it at humanitarian crisis only from the very beginning it was a national security crisis and look what it's done in the succeeding five years, disintegrating europe with the massive flow of refugees incubating extremism that's really reaching out to every region of the globe creating instability in the immediate region. a number of issues on u.s. national security not just saving civilians. sometimes the world doesn't cooperate with our narrative and so i think that was his natural inclination but i think it

caused a lot of damage not just in syria but other allies, europe and asia after that started questioning, does the u.s. have the will, we know they have the capability, does the u.s. have the will to back up alliances with us. pete: you said if we had the capabilities but not the will under the obama administration, do you believe president trump and his team have that will and are using it correctly? >> i think they have the will,ic the strikes in syria were the beginning of a down appointment -- payment of restoring the alliance network which is global asset but i think we will have to see what else -- what other situations we will have to demonstrate the result and the commitment that's required if we are going to protect our particular national interest. jon: you agree with president trump that it became less safe during obama administration?

>> i think it's less safe. unfortunately there's a pattern to that and it's because they didn't think the u.s. was going to do anything. pete: if the u.s. isn't there it can lead to vacuums that are quite dangerous. barry pavel, thank you very much. >> my pleasure. pete: we have been showing you the violent clashes at berkeley, 20 people arrested, one person even stabbed. the show of force, this is what modern liberals are all about, violence and intimidation. he joins us just ahead. jon: jam well l. jackson joining chorus to slam president trump. >> vote for the democratic party, stop donald trump, the man who encourages racial and religious discrimination and sexism. jon: why haven't celebrities learned the attack line doesn't work? a debate on that next.

i accept i don't race down the slopes like i used to. i even accept i have a higher risk of stroke due to afib, a type of irregular heartbeat not caused by a heart valve problem. but whatever trail i take, i go for my best. so if there's something better than warfarin, i'll go for that too. eliquis. eliquis reduced the risk of stroke better than warfarin, plus had less major bleeding than warfarin. eliquis had both. don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily... ...and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. i'm still going for my best.

and for eliquis. ask your doctor about eliquis. start here. at fidelity, we let you know where you stand, so when it comes to your retirement plan, you'll always be absolutely...clear. it's your retirement. know where you stand.

jon: news by the numbers easter edition. first 18 billion, that's how many dollars americans will be shelling out for their easter celebration this is year according to wallet hub, on average each person will spend $152 on food, decorations and gifts and next 49%, that's how many people will be decorating easter eggs this weekend. finally number one, reeses pieces topping the legendary marshmallow peep.

abby: i totally agree with that one, thank you, jon. joining protestors to demand that president trump release his tax returns but should celebs stop sticking in politics. good to have you here this morning. >> good to be here, abby. abby: happy easter to both of you. >> happy easter. abby: when it comes to president trump's tacks, what is it that the democrats are wanting? >> listen, i think it's customary that every president release tax returns, right, and the tax returns show beyond how much the person makes, how much they paid in taxes, it shows where the revenue came from, the fact that donald trump won't release them are east either not as rich as he thinks or he didn't pay enough taxes or he has some income revenue he doesn't want the american people to know about.

abby: another network released stack of 2005. that was more than mitt romney, the list goes on, former president obama. >> bernie sanders. abby: bernie sanders. >> yeah, richard, i don't know why he's repeating that failed line that the democrats lost on. they are trying to paint a picture that they can actually win which we see time and time again that they are losing legislatively and electorally. i sat down with three a-list celebrities yesterday and they told me that there is something going on here in hollywood, we know that there's three pillars, arts and entertainment and media, politics and government. the one entertainment hub, they inform me that a lot of the elites are looking to entering antitrump rhetoric, commercials, tv shows and movies. these are things that people may not even notice and we continue

boiling over with people like samuel jackson in ad, i think it's something that we are going to continue to see because democrats was failing in what they thought was going to be a win for him with hillary clinton absolutely was not and it's continuing to be a failure for them because donald trump continues to have decisive win. abby: samuel l. jackson speaking of celebrities, he did a radio ad in support of the democratic candidate, take a listen. >> hi, i'm samuel l. jackson, special congressional election on april 18, what can you do? go vote. vote for the democratic party, stop donald trump, the man who encourages racial and religious discrimination and sexism. remember what happened the last time people stayed at home, we got stuck with trump. we have to channel the great vengeance and vote at the ballot

box, do your friends and family a favor, tell them, do yourself a favor and vote on april 18th and make sure the -- to vote for the democratic party. abby: hillary got 46.8%. samuel l. jackson. do celebrities have the influence that they once had? >> i think they do. we look up to the individuals, i think politics is part of who they are and that's the first amendment right to be political. let's talk about the particular seat, georgia 6, in the georgia 6, donald trump only won that district by 1 point, right, so how democrats see it in this particular primary there's 11 republicans running, one democrat running, we have a chance to win, these are educated-white, middle-class families so we are using star power that would influence them to go out and vote in the polls. i don't think there's wrong with that. if republicans have a problem with that, they should recruit their own celebrities.

>> tom price won his reelection by over 20 points. i think this is going to be a very interesting race to watch for a couple of different reasons, one of which the democratic candidate does have a message that is somewhat similar to what trump is talk about corruption in dc and he's also a ceo. i think this is going to be interesting considering what his polling is going to be. however, however, i don't think that means by any -- by any means that this is going to be a winning situation for the democratic party. as my friend richard fowler very well knows, polls don't vote, people do. at the end to have day it's going to depend on the enthusiasm to turn out the base, republicans overwhelmingly sit in that district. abby: it'll be an interesting race to watch. good to see you as well. happy easter. we have been showing the violent clashes at berkeley all morning long. 20 arrests, one person was even stabbed there.

free speech zone too confronted by the so-called antifascists and, of course, it turns violent at some level, what do you make of all of this? >> i thought the united states was a free speech zone. i mean, i didn't realize that we had a set up specific spot where people could voice their political opinion. you know the sad part about all of this, as a trump supporter these days with unof the make america great hats again you are probably safer in north korea than berkeley. in the berkeley campus there is near 100% chance that you will probably be assault bid some luny tunes liberal which by the way should standby antifirst amendment and not antifascist, this is nonsense. abby: 20 people that were arrested. one person was even stabbed in these protests. dan, if you get caught up in one of these, what is your advice,a?

>> it's really sad. somebody was tweeting at me last night and they were commenting, how would you feel that your daughter was a trump supporter in one of the rallies, my advice to my daughter sadly would be, you have to keep your head on a swivel. this is a feature not a bug of modern liberalism. they actually embraced violence as political tactic. this is not an isolated incident by any stretch. abby: not a safe place to be, jon. jon: absolutely not. it is so ironic that on the movement that's it's supposed to be about free speech but they don't really condone free speech. >> you know, this is what really

disturbs. conservatism, we make our mistakes too, conservatism is bedrocked in god-giving rights, when we lose political office, we don't beat people up. we are bedrocked in something bigger than politics. when you're a modern leftist everything for you is about the control, using government to take things from others, their money through taxes, their health care, when you lose that control or you lose the power of government, violence and the use of forces almost a natural segue. you have to understand the bigger picture to get what they're about. pete: the antifascist 20-somethings -- skinny 20-somethings with masks on their face. trump supporters bought back and gave a few wedges at the end which looks like a finale to that confrontation. i saw a picture of one of these adults in a beach in california and there was about a 75-year-old trump supporter with

an american flag and he was chasing one of these guys down after he had assaulted him and i used one of those priceless ads, isn't this priceless 20 year's old you're being chased down by a patriotic former trump supporter with an american flag being humiliated in a picture that would be used forever to embarrass you. abby: you have to get skinny to get a wedgy, right? you were saying skinny protestors. pete: protesting fascism, they don't know what fascism is, it drives me nuts, jon. dan, thanks a lot. >> happy easter, thanks for having me. pete: appreciate it. abby: a brutal shark attack on a hawaii beach, a 28-year-old tourist from france bitten in the leg by a 12-foot tiger shark

. that man forced to have his leg amputated but is now recovering. the beach in hawaii has now been reopened. attorney general jeff sessions has a stern message for those considering entering the u.s. illegally. >> this border is not welcome, don't come unlawfully and that's already i think a huge factor in the decline in the attempts to enter america. abby: sessions when onto tell judge jeanine, last month saw the lowest attempt to enter the country illegally in the last ten years. that is right, the editorial board writing in part this, quote, there's a man with a soul, so dead that he doesn't want a loyal dog or faithful sea lion to master bedroom, apparently yes, president trump

this is what we have here today. it looks really nice. we have different things for photo booths. jon: who doesn't love a bunny. >> this is great. we have bunnies over here. we have some chicks and some little -- why not? jon: this is the kind of thing whenever if a corporate client want something special for the celebration? >> it's not that often -- not everyone gets this close to live animals. it's fun for kids, adults for everyone. really, really cute. pete: what other things you offer? >> for events pretty much anything that you can think of or dream of i can do it. it can be anything from small dinner parties to large-scale events, anything like that, but interactive and fun. pete: a photo booth with the easter bunny.

>> the easter bunny is here in the photo booth so kids can come and take pictures, the adults can take pictures or he runs around to the easter bunny. jon: i think the easter bunny is cold. >> he's okay. we've been keeping him warm all morning. >> anthony event design. come on up to the plaza. jon: you started as a broadway guy? >> yeah, yeah. different shows on broadway and that sort of led me. pete: what's next? could iran be ready to fire? rob o'neil, the man who killed osama bin laden is here to weigh in on this easter and there he is. the easter bunny.

brilinta reduced the chance of another heart attack. or dying from one. it worked better than plavix. don't stop taking brilinta without talking to your doctor since stopping it too soon increases your risk of clots in your stent, heart attack, stroke, and even death. brilinta may cause bruising or bleeding more easily, or serious, sometimes fatal bleeding. don't take brilinta if you have bleeding, like stomach ulcers, a history of bleeding in the brain, or severe liver problems. tell your doctor about bleeding, new or unexpected shortness of breath, any planned surgery, and all medicines you take. talk to your doctor about brilinta. i'm doing all i can. that includes brilinta. if you can't afford your medication, astra zeneca may be able to help. dad likare you going to weeks be using my car? until my insurance claim goes through this is our car. mr. parker, my parents have allstate. they have this claim satisfaction guarantee. really? their claim experience is fast, fair, and hassle-free or they get their, like, money back. saraaah!!! come to prom with me!!

community, communities that make contributions to the world. >> homeland has been criticized for how muslims are portrayed? >> yes, it is and we have taken the responsibility and particularly in season six we tried to be part of the cure and not the problem. a different story line where we are helping these people and this year and this season that maybe it's -- maybe that it is the white men in government and the military establishment that are the bad guyses, not the muslim community. abby: that's interesting because i just finished the season -- not to spoil anything that's what much of it was about. they framed this muslim teenager here in new york city and ultimately the government -- the intel community, many of those members are behind that. pete: what you want to think is maybe homeland wants to develop a plot and they have seasons and different things, what it's discouraging to hear is there's a political agenda behind the plot. we are going to make sure that we are politically correct and

portray the white man as racists and, you know, the military as wrong. plot lines are plot lines and hollywood is hollywood but when they try to run political agendas and they admit it with chuck todd -- jon: they are going to run the boston marathon tomorrow. pete: point out of the radicalism and say it's not mean. it's the white guy that is are wrong too. come on. abby: that's absolutely right. pete: frustrating to see. hollywood at it again and exposing themselves. one of the biggest movie franchises around. >> after all we have done, humans are hunting us.

but i fear we are all targets now. pete: our next guest says transformers is a sign that china is taking over hollywood. more on that trend next. jon: plus the man who killed osama bin laden rob o'neil joins us live. pete: got away from the easter bunny h. abby: he survived. if you have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis, isn't it time to let the real you shine through? introducing otezla, apremilast. otezla is not an injection or a cream. it's a pill that treats plaque psoriasis differently. some people who took otezla saw 75% clearer skin after 4 months. and otezla's prescribing information has no requirement for routine lab monitoring. don't take otezla if you are allergic

jon: a question you might never have considered is china taking over hollywood, the chinese are financing some of your favorite films, buying theater chains, it is a growing trend, major

chinese production companies teaming up with tinseton which is leading to concerns to prochina propaganda making its way to american blockbusters, here to explain what's happening film producer and ceo of london dairy patrick, this is a fascinating story to me. all about the projection of soft power by china, tell us about that? >> that's right. well, earlier guests were talking about homeland and political agendas and all i've got to say is you haven't seen nothing yet. china is just not teaming up, they are buying, they are now the owner of the largest theater chain in the world and they own legendary and several other studios. in fact, they spent $30 billion last year buying hollywood assets. now, you might say, well, great for hollywood. well, the problem is as we talk about trade wars and trade

imbalances is that while china is taking advantage of america's first amendments to free market and making as many movies as we want to, they only allow certain amount -- a certain number of american films into the chinesel become the largest film market in the world taking out america for the first time in history and that limited number of films have to go through the chinese censorship board and the majors are following along. if you -- people look at me like i'm -- jon: if you're an american production company, you can -- there are only like, what, 43, 49 movies, american-made movies that are allow today play in china each year? >> that's currently -- wto, world trade organization in 2009 said that they had to expand it, that was originally done in 2012. that agreement is past due.

it's a limited number and it has to pass the censorship board which from an artist perspective, i mean, imagine the american government telling hollywood that you only can make movies that fit into a certain box. hollywood would be in an outrage mode, yet in order to get to the chinese market, let me ask you, did you see the martian, the mui -- movie with matt damian? jon: china helps out. >> they've stated, this is their purpose. jon: we will talk about this for in the future. patrick, thank you so much. >> happy easter. jon: final two hours on tap, chris wallace, cat kempf, maria bartiromo. up next the man who killed osama

i hope that you're waking up and having a you wonderful sunday morning. pete: maybe sending off to church. abby: we'll be celebrating it all morning long. we do start with some news this morning. jon: it's a fox new alert and failure to launch. north korea attempting to test fire another missile, but it blows up almost immediately. pete: it's the latest move as tensions boil over the country's escalating threat. abby: griff jenkins is live in washington, d.c, with those latest details. what are you hearing? >> good morning, and happy easter to you guys. hours before vice president pence touched down in south korea a north korean medium range missile exploded almost immediately after attempting launch from the east coast port city of sinpo embarrassing a regime who just yesterday separated their 105th anniversary with a parade of military might displaying what appeared to be intercontinental ballistic missiles, something they've never tested, but the failure comes amidst high tensions on the korean peninsula vice president pence addressing

it from seoul just a short while ago. >> this morning's provocation from the north is just the latest reminder of the risks each one of you face every day. >> many wondered how the trump administration would respond to something like that. defense secretary jim mattis issuing is this statement, quote "the president and his military team are aware of north korea's most recent unsuccessful missile launch. the president has no further comment." the u.s. remains on high alert as the uss carl vinson approaches the region and no word yet, guys, on officials from pyongyang who were just yesterday threatening war. pete: not a lot to say when your missile launch fails. abby: thank you, griff. have a great east. >> we're joined by u.s. navy s.e.a.l. rob o'neill, who killed osama bin laden. you mentioned before you came on it was captain phillips. pete:. >> it was on easter we rescued captain phillips, i think april 12th. i left on my birthday, good friday, april 10th and we about

16 hours later were in the indian ocean. pete: a lot of people may not know you were part of that mission as well. >> i was not one of the shooters but in the mission, first guy out of the plane. over a hundred guys were there. there were four pirates against about a hundred s.e.a.l.s. pete: as you're enjoying your eggs and meal, there are guys jumping out of airplanes fighting somali pirates. abby: rob, the things that you have seen in your live, unreal. pete: which is a message for the wider world, for north korea, for instance, you know, you take out the pirates who were, you know, doing bad things with captain phillips, and all of a sudden piracy stops. or -- >> yeah, kind of a deterrent. we went over and used force. like i've said, you can treat some of these people with force, do what you need to do and they stop doing it. pete: what does kim jong-un need to hear? >> he's a crazy person so i don't think there's talking anything into him. i think one of the best things that could happen to him could possibly be a coup. but his family are afraid to do

it. some have said if you do strike north korea you need to kill the leader. he just tried a nuclear test. they're not sure what kind of missile it was. pacific command said they did. the problem is we're worried intercontinental ballistic missiles that could hit the west coast, hawaii perhaps, or even japan, the bases there, china. who knows what he will do. he's a dangerous man. abby: iran is a big part of this conversation, right? if you're president trump, rob, what advice do you have for him in dealing with these players that are so completely delusional? >> exactly what he's doing right now. the strike in syria, what he just did with the mab in afghanistan proving that you will use force, which will bring our allies to the table. we need a line of solidarity with everything, and as long as our allies see we're strong, we're not gonna do it alone but we definitely need the help of nato even the u.n., like president trump did with china, just getting his backing with north korea. we just saw that ahmadinejad is

gonna run for president in iran. seems like a lot of crazy people running for nations. pete: they want a nuclear weapon as a eternity. >> yeah, they want the bomb too and again we need to redo the policy that we tried to get iran to not have nuclear weapons, which they're trying to get. we don't know what's going on why that country. we're trying to monitor them with -- nuclear weapons in that part of the world could be a potentially big problem, there's a lot at play for the department of defense and president trump. jon: another big problem out on the west coast at berkeley, where there was a clash between pro-trump supporters, i guess you would say, and so-called anti-fascism demonstrators. take a look at this video. [bleep] >> you're anti-american? >> i'm an anti-american? you stupid [bleep] i'm a patriot

patriot. >> i want a free america [bleep] >> [bleep] >> yeah? i don't think so. you lost count. i came out here because i'm a patriot. i'm a veteran in the united states army and all my brothers are here supporting our constitution. >> how were you treated by these people? >> like they treat everybody. i ripped the flag out of one guy guy's hand. i don't know if anybody saw that that. he was starting to burn it. pete: rob, your comment? >> those protesters out there, they're supposedly against violence and they're being violent. they're picking on a veteran in a wheelchair. he went up and tried to stop them from burning an american flag. the veteran, he's on our team, trying to celebrate american victories and a lot of these un uneducated, misinformed college punks are just -- i don't get it it.

it doesn't make sense to me. pete: somebody emailed, what about that skinny punk with a mask on, how about you go to syria -- >> apparently you can go over there and give them a pepsi and hug it out. i've seen those reports everywhere. seems like they're on the wrong side of almost every argument. i don't understand. given the generation that given the blue ribbons, they're good at everything. i don't understand how it works. pete: i don't think they understand the flag, either. >> they don't understand any of this. burning the -- i'm all about free speech, freedom of expression but to me burning the flag like that in this country, at least go over there and see something else other than northern california. jon: and how about calling a veteran anti-american. abby: that sealed the deal there there. pete: where does that come from? where it is that mentality come from? >> i think just the entitlement generation, they're being taught that our founders are, you know, avis and everything that we've done as a country. i think they're being taught the wrong things. i wish i could make a good comment about it. doesn't make sense to me. i don't understand it umph maybe we could get a freeze frame of

the kid behind the mask, because his parents must be so proud. >> if you're standing up for something, why can't you show your face. pete: i've been in the middle of those protests in a number of conventions, pull your mask down show me your face, and they won't do it 'cause ultimately they're cowards. abby: sates sad reality we're living in now. >> certainly is. abby: if you don't agree with them -- >> right. if you don't agree with them, you're the enemy. abby: that's not what our country is. pete: and they're anti-fascists who want to shut down your speech. >> we're gonna shut you down, freedom of speech unless you disagree with me and shut them down. jon: here's the buy who took out bin laden, happy to show his face to the world. pete: good-looking face. good to have you here, rob o'neill. abby: you took a selfie with the easter bunny outside, rob. pete: we're gonna post that later of rob with the easter bunny. jon: you're guys will be so proud. turning to some other headlines this morning, pope francis holding a special mass in the vatican to celebrate easter sunday.

it is the day that christians commemorate the resurrection of jesus. tens of thousands of catholics packing saint peter's square to hear him deliver his message of hope. >> the message of jesus at easter is, yes, i know you've sinned, i know you've messed up, yes, i know there are consequences to that sin, which is death, but i have a new solution for you, and that is, accepting me out of love with the chance of eternal life. and that's why these christians persecute me. abby: we all need to hear that message this morning. also this, the secret service now investigating a liberal college professor for potion a disgusting tweet saying president trump must hang. lars amachik who teaches at fresno university went on a violent rant on twitter. he also said should be executed for deporting illegal aliens. his twitter account is deleted. one of which he's seen strapped to a cot in a simulation of the

inmates slated to die, this on the same day that same judge filed a temporary halt on seven executions in arkansas. well, now that attorney general appealing the court order wants him removed from the case, saying he cannot be considered impartial. the state is rushing the executions before the lethal drugs expire. and the washington post is not happy with jimmy fallon's hosting duties on snl because he didn't attack president trump. >> seated at your desk, i'd like you to just fix everything, okay okay? believe me, i'll be over here at my desk, okay? [laughter] . abby: the washington post, on saturday nightline "jimmy fallon stays soft on trump." the paper devoting an entire article to this writing in part, anyone looking for fallon to get tougher on the president was likely disappointed on saturday. really? . pete: kushner who had just been to iraq is pictured in that, the struggle inside the white house, who's got more control, who

doesn't. apparently you've got to rip on the trump. jon: did saturday night live ever get tough to president trump. abby: not the way they have with trump. pete: what is next for north korea after the latest failed missile launch there and what does it mean for our foreign policy? chris wallace joins us to discuss next. pete: then pomp, circumstance, and politics. the new numbers that prove just how biased colleges are when it comes to commencement speakers, when the facts back up common sense. ♪ keep your freedom for as long as as you can now, my mama told me you better shop around ♪ you better shop around whoo! there are things i want you to know, just as sure as our finest grass seed plus quick-start fertilizer and natural super- absorbent mulch grow grass anywhere.

. pete: we are back with a fox news alert, vice president pence touching down in south korea overnight just hours after a north korean missile launch fails. pete: the test coming one day after the country showed off its new fleet of weapons at its annual military parade, so what does the latest launch mean for the u.s. and for the rest of the world. jon: here to weigh in be with anchor fox news sunday, chris wallace. chris, a big failure, a big disappointment, obviously, for kim jong-un. what happens now? now?. chris: well, i think, yes, it was a failure, and obviously that's good for the rest of the world, not so good for the kim regime. on the other hand, if you take everything that happened this weekend in north korea, the fact that they went ahead with the launch, despite the warnings from the u.s., the fact that they had the huge parade that you're showing on the screen in

which they unveiled some new long rangeland based icbms that we've never seen before and also some submarine launched missiles what it basically says is despite the calls from president trump, despite the rhetoric coming out of the chinese regime in beijing, that it's full speed ahead for their nuclear and missile programs in pyongyang, and they can't be good news. pete: chris, if it is full speed ahead what other leverage do we have or do you think the trump administration may be willing to use with china, having the best opportunity to influence that regime . chris: well, yes, that is what we hope, but there are a couple of points there. one, and president trump said this, after meeting with president xi and president xi explaining the relationship with north korea that they don't have as much influence or an ability to kind of stop it with a snap of their fingers, as a lot of people have thought, and also china may not be playing quite the game that we thought because on the one hand there's been a lot of talk this week about the

fact that china is turning back coal shipments, exports of coal from north korea to china, and that would obviously be a source of trade and money for north korea, and that'd be a good thing if they cut that off. on the other hand trade between the two countries is up 37% this year over last year, so it's not like they have completely turned off the spigot. abby: all right. you've got a big show coming up, a lot to talk about, including north korea, iran, the list goes on and on, chris. you've got kt mcfarland. chris: that is right. she is the deputy national security adviser. she'll be live at the top of the hour. i think the only administration official who will be live this morning and able to react to the failed missile launch by north korea. we'll also be talking to the chair of the house armed services committee, mac thornberry, get his ideas on what the u.s. can do not with just north korea but the willingness to use force we've seen from trump over the last two weeks. pete: that's a great point,

chris, on live you've got kt live where everyone else might have him on tape. abby: have a great easter, chris chris. chris: thank you, guys. same to you. pete: coming up. first it was the mother of all bombers, now ate former ufc fighter and army green beret, he's sending a message to isis, don't mess with the usa. there he is, tim kennedy, he's about to join us live. abby: and the fast and furious franchise is back on the screen, but is it worth your money? kevin mccarthy's review is next. >> there's thousands of cars in the city, and now they're all mine. one thing i can guarantee, no one's ready for this. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ sfx: engine revving

unfortunately with charlize ther theron's character. they're trying to stop world war iii. the movie is insane, the action is phenomenal, it's absurd, it's ridiculous, but one thing about the franchise, if you're a fan of the franchise, that the movie while absurd, as it all is, you still find yourself caring for the characters on a grounded reality level. i will say this. over the years there have been so many crazy action scenes in this film, you had the bank vault being dragged in the fifth one, you had a tank scene in the sixth one, you had cars skydiving in the seventh one, but this one has an epic torpedo scene, and we're gonna show this to you right now. this is unbelievable, the rock steps out of a moving vehicle and redirects a torpedo with his bare hands. abby: only the rock. pete: the rock might be able to do it, though. >> i agree. i love the movie. i gave it a 4.5 out of 5. on my scale the 5 and 7 are the best ones, then 1, then 8.

court found her not guilty. she is now seeking an un unspecified amount of damages. and liberals are winning in one area: college campuses. the new york post revealing the biased commencement plans for colleges and democrats are the heavy favorites. just four schools asked members of the trump administration to speak at graduation this year, well, that compared to 14 universities that plan to give obama administration officials speaking slots. liberals also got 14 back in 2009, obama's first year in office. >> and a young ohio state fan making touchdown of a lifetime. >> jarvis gets away from cooper, jarvis plowing forward, another missed tackle, he's making everybody miss, and jacob jarvis with a touchdown. >> how great is that. this is jacob jarvis given the game's final carry scoring the last points in the team's spring game.

this is truecar. . pete: welcome back to fox & friends. quick headlines for you. it's official. the first family will be under one room after school gets out. president trump's wife melania and son barron will move out of trump in manhattan when school gets out in june. barron will be the first boy to live at the white house since john f. kennedy jr. president trump off to a good start to keep america great come 2020. his reelection campaign already raising $13.2 million so far this year. about 80% of that coming from small donations online. pretty interesting indicator of grassroots support. abby, over to you. abby: our border patrol could soon be hiring agents in record time. a brand-new memo shows dhs is considering waving the polygraph test for politics, cutting their spanish prophecy test and excluding some from certain

fitness tests. this all in an effort to make president trump's order of hiring 5,000 new agents. here to weigh in is the president of national border council for local 2455 hector garza. good to have you here, hector. >> good morning. abby: happy easter to you. so you are all in favor of this. walk us through that. >> yes, we're definitely in favor of this, because right now we cannot hire border patrol agents fast enough. right now it takes approximately 18 months to hire, train, and deploy border patrol agents to the field. that's a very long time and we can't be waiting for those 18 months. different things happen when we wait for 18 months. we have, for example, a lot of our veterans, right, that want to apply for border patrol but they're not gonna be waiting around for 18 months, they're gonna get picked up and hired by other law enforcement agencies. abby: so you think things are gonna change pretty quickly just in terms of being able to hire more border agents to secure the border? >> yeah. and we have to -- the border

patrol has to have the ability to retain border patrol agents. right now we are suffering from a 6% attrition rate from border patrol agents. by easing some of these restrictions in the hiring process we'll be able to have more border patrol agents and keep america safe. abby: take a listen to attorney general jeff sessions who was on justice with judge jeanine last night speaking about the border. >> the biggest difference is donald trump's election sent and his leadership, which is this border is not open. if you come to america, come lawfully; don't come unlawfully. and that's already i think a huge factor in the decline in the attempts to enter america. america.. abby: hector, what did you make of that? >> so without a doubt, president trump's immigration policies are making a huge difference. so we know that people are still coming across the border, but now a lot of those people don't want to get caught and they're trying to get away. however the fact that our rates

are down is strictly due to president trump's immigration policies, and we thank the president for that, we're already grateful for that. abby: have you already seen a change in the past fumes? >> yeah. we have seen a big change. some of the numbers are down in the apprehension rates. however, we know that ice is deporting more people away from the united states, those same criminals we're deporting are gonna make their way back into the united states. they're gonna try to come back, so we have to have people in place to stop them at the border border. abby: thank you for joining us. have great sunday. the next time somebody tells you we don't need tax reform you'll want to tell them about this, the outrageous ways that some americans are using the system, claiming things like sharks and others to avoid paying their fair share. that is coming up. alpacas. ♪ so how old do you want to be when you retire?

code? >> $3 million on it's the "jaws" music is what is making people afraid of sharks. jon: this was a real government research project? >> absolutely. i know they're not as dangerous as people say they are, but look at them, and also, who cares, who cares what their reputations are? were the sharks writing letters to the government being like "i think people are treating us failure?" who cares? if every single person hated sharks, so. pete: i'm gonna need a bigger boat. >> i don't wait my chances with things with bone crushing teeth. i don't care if they are violent as people say. pete: good life rule. this animal does not have bone crushing teeth. i don't know what it one looks like. alpaca tax? >> yes, you get a tax break for people who have an alpaca. we're paying for people who can do that. one woman, 300 grand worth of college fund alpacas, she's zeroed out her taxes and she also got 680,000 in grants to send her kids to top tier schools. i don't have an alpaca, you

don't have an alpaca. pete: i will after this segment. >> we're all a bunch of fools. jon: i hate some alpaca in prior to you a few years ago. pete: you can get a tax break for clarinet lessons? >> yes, if your dentist which dentists have apparently say it helps your teeth, you can get one. i feel like there's a lot of like quack doctors out there. my goal for this year is to find a doctor that will just say that everything that i buy in my daily life is good for my teeth, and then i wouldn't have to pay any taxes. i'm sure i can find someone who will do it. pete: all you have to do is find one in dc who will carve out a loophole for you. >> absolutely. like she needs all that beer for her teeth. pete: go to the swamp. help you out with that. another one on telemarketing? >> yeah, you get tax breaks for the cost of telemarketing. which i think it makes sense a lot of sense for the tele telemarketing industry and the irs are colluding because they're the two groups that you least want to be on the phone when they call. very, very at least. you know when you're waiting for

a phone call and it's a tele telemarketrer instead of who you wanted to hear from, that's the worst feeling in the world and i hate that i'm paying for it. jon: and how is it that we, individual taxpayers and payroll taxes are up higher than they've ever been and yet the government still manages to lose men? >> right. because apparently sharks' feelings are way more important than us getting to save a little money. jon: if we would cut out some alpaca tax loopholes we might collect a little more revenue. >> i'm gonna buy a bunch of. i don't know if the alpaca store is open on easter but definitely tomorrow. pete: then jump on the phone with telemarketers while playing the clarinet. nice easter dress. >> thank you. i thought about it. i was trying to be festive. pete: well played. jon: you are festive. pete: chopping, is "homeland" your favorite show? well, its lead actor says it's time for the show to focus on political correctness and that white men are the bad guys. jon: and some members of president obama's administration speaking out, including former defense secretary leon panetta where he says the last president

clearly irrational. he's insane. when he says he's going to do something, he is just crazy enough to do it. that's the lesson we should've learned from hitler. he was crazy and he was crazy enough to do the crazy things he said he was going to do. so for anybody to do last then take kim jong un seriously is a fatal mistake for somebody and that is why i think we have to look at this in terms of containing them. give the chinese, japanese, south koreans, rest of the world and say we've got to put an end to this. it's getting out of hand. true to kim jong un says he wants to strike a developing capabilities to do so. a lot compared to the cold war. botox and strong action and brinksmanship to create a situation on the environment or china has to act to bring it to an end or north korea realizes doing these types of things is not in their interest. >> fascinating to see what happens next. typically one of these launches goes out of the last one did,

some north korean general finds himself in the wrong end of the antiaircraft gun executed for the dear leader that not like embarrassment and he's been embarrassed. >> every excerpt we've had over the pasta when it comes to north korea, you got it taken seriously including governor mike huckabee. even though the missile test failed, we are dealing with the very delusional player here. we've got actively serious. pete: in the parade yesterday, how far can they reach? how capable are they? especially they could reach our shores or interest with a nuclear payload onboard. serious stuff there. abby: serious stuff here at home as well. it should be a nice easter weekend. no violence breaking out but a fortune not the case. >> north korean regime or if you do not worship kim jong un he gets into an concentration camp. here we have free speech. this is video from berkeley, california. you see berkeley, what if they call it? a free-speech protest except

they don't like all kinds of free speech. >> tram supporters making the point that we have the ability to have a pro-trump rally to support our president as they have the right to do in this country and the so-called anti-fascists, but really just anti-free speech. a bunch of punks in masks. >> i don't think they know. pete: they are in our, leftists. abby: most of them don't even show their face. you have 20 people arrested, 10 people injured. one even start. >> we've got one confrontation between one of these protesters. any veteran who served this country trying to burn the flag. the veteran confronted him and this is how it went down. >> you are anti-american. the >> i'm a patriot.

pete: abbey come you pointed out earlier things that they'll must all do these days. when you don't want when you do when you're the reason they changed the plot is for a political correct portrayal. plenty of muslims out there. we understand that. when you're saying we have to point out the white guys in government and military are evil enough so we need to portray. i don't want that. >> john reminds us of are the boston marathon. exactly what happened there and who are the men responsible for that. you can't forget that. >> basis has made a part of the putting out its videos of beheading christians, burning people alive in cages. talk about barbarism. pete: father jonathan morris is on earlier. 75,000 christians have been persecuted, ongoing around the world. something to think about on this easter as well. let's call it like it is. >> we'll watch them for entertainment.
