♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ joey: good morning. welcome back to the second hour of fox and friends the sunday morning. today's faith and friends six week easter concert series is going to feature travis greene and forward city music, and let me tell you, they're downstairs practicing, who says praise and worship music has to be boring? rachel: it's not boring at all.

we've been rocking out out here all morning long. we ought to keep them here every weekend. joey: it makes it hard to concentrate op on politics in the commercial break, but i'm not all that upset by that. will: we've been rock aring for several weeks now as part of this faith and friends concert series. st the really fun. that will be, i believe, in the final hour of our show. we wake up at 5 a.m. to a rock concert every sunday morning. [laughter] we'll bring it to you in just a few hours, but now to our top story, former president trump attends a college wrestling match in tulsa, oklahoma, yesterday after saying he would be arrested on tuesday. his potential arrest, it's related to a $13 if 0,000 amendment -- 130,000 payment to stormy daniels. joey: manhattan d.a. alvin bragg told his staff in an e-mail attain the by politico, quote, we do not tolerate attempts to intimidate our office or

threaten the rule of law in new york. rachel: house speaker kevin mccarthy is directing house committees to investigate whether any federal funds were used for, quote, politically motivated prosecutions. if arrested, trump would be the first and only former president to face criminal charges in our mission's history. nation's history. will: is so alvin bragg's attempting another the, reports are indicating that he will attempted to do something that was decan kleined by his predecessor, cy vance is, in new york city, declined by federal prosecutors as well and which politically has backfiredded on almost everybody who's attempted to layer a charge onto donald trump. finish former federal prosecutor francey hakes was on earlier, and she laid out what a stretch this is. and then, therefore, what that reveals about motives of alvin bragg. watch. >>st the hard to say it's anything but political when you look at a d.a. in hand -- manhattan who drops over 50% of felony charges in that crime-ridden city down to

misdemeanors, and yet he's managed to try to find a way outside the statute of limations whether cases would normally be barred to boot strap a felony into a misdemeanor that's maybe a state crime can, maybe a federal crime. the feds declined to prosecute, the federal re-election commission declined to prosecutor, concern prosecute, yet alvin bragg thinks he has a crime here. rachel: later in that interview she talked about what a dangerous period of time we're entering right now, and i think a lot of conservatives feel that way, that, you know, we don't live in a system that has equal justice under the law that we all know that it was not donald trump and this was be some democrats, they would not be prosecuted for this. i guess that makes all of us wonder, you know, what's happening to america. joey: yeah, you know, you referenced dan bongino, his show last night, he said, listen, a police state is when you say

show me the person, and i'll go find a crime. listen are, you break the law, you're held accountable. this particular instance there's no -- the it's not that we know trump broke the law, it's trying to take the law and apply it to what we think trump did or what today think trump kid. and in my opinion, that's a stretch too far. especially when we sit here and we have a president in the white house and republicans are doing everything they can to investigate and see was he actually paid off in some way, seems to me i'd rather my government resources go to finding out if one of them might have acted against americans -- rachel: yeah, joe biden said earlier this week when they asked him about the bank records, he said these the are lies. they're bank records. they show money going to all these different bidens from this energy company. it's really obvious what eau happening. -- what's happening. and, yes, i think that's exactly right. i think dan bongino laid it out well, it feels hike there's a targeting. will: yeah. and later on this show at 9 a.m.

eastern time, i'm sure mark levin will lay it out here on "fox & friends". meanwhile, we talked about this last week, it revealed some fashions among some of us here orb -- passions, ands it is that the president of mexico, ann yes, sir can manuel lopez obrador, has blamed the fentanyl crisis on america. a fentanyl crisis which originates in china from chemicals, precursors shipped from china, pressed into pills and smuggled into the united states by drug cartels. that is fault of america. says amlo, known by his acronym, and on friday he doubled down. there's a lot of kiss integration of families, there's a lot of individualism, there's a lack of love, hugs and embraces. that is why they, u.s. officials, should be dedicating funds to addressing the cause. you know, rachel, i think hinted

at this past weekend when we discussed it, he's not wrong here -- rachel: no, he's not. will: -- in his diagnosis of some of of the core problems in america, the problem is it's hard to take, say, therapeutic advice from your drug dealer. you don't want the drug cartel telling you that you've got a real problem here, man. [laughter] you'd rather go, yeah, you're right, you might be right, so why don't you cut off, you know, the supply. rachel: right. so you can do both things, right? as a nation, we should be. we should be creasing -- creasing what is -- addressing what is essentially a family problem, right? we have this disintegration that amlo talks about, we have a spiritual problem with our kids. you kid the an interview, joey, talking about how mental health from social media is impacting our kids. we need to crease all of those things. at the same time, obrador is colluding with the cartels and

the chinese, because their all working together. the cartels' control over obrador is very obvious. the cartels are running mexico, and he even in his last election was working with the cartels, and many people think that's why he won. and that is only getting worse as we go. so, yeah, the chinese are involved in this, amlo and the chinese are just as responsible for what's happening. so, yeah, i agree. he count have a legging to stang to stand on but we don't either. will: we don't either concern. rachel: we're not closing our border, and we're not addressing the spiritual problems in our families. will: true. i just want to make this one caveat, there are still unsuspecting americans to the tens of thousands who may be attempting to do something wrong by buying a drug on the black market but not intentionally taking fentanyl. and that's not an overdose, that's a poisoning. joey: you know, when he says those comments, you assume he's saying that's what america because wrong that we coright. central and south south american

culture is largely conservative, largely based on family and on relying on each other, on sitting around the kinner table together. -- dinner table. one of my great friends p luke, lived in mexico for a year. he said i didn't take her on a date, i took the family on a candidate because they cared about what she was up to. the problem is that culture has stayed so strong because they don't have anything else to rely on. they have been taken advantage of by corrupt governments for so long that the culture hasn't been attacked. and what he's saying is that basically the prosperity of america is the problem with america. and i think a will the concern i take a little bit of exception with that because at the end of the day they're a part of our problem, we may be a part of their problem, but many america we have to fight for our culture with our prosperity. and we have to say that our prosperity is a result of our culture. so let's not let it go. for him to say it's either one or the other, which is what it sounding like to me, hey, we might not be doing as good as america in prosperity but at

least we have our culture, or you're croixing your culture here because it's your families that are being torn apart because the economy that you've with destroyed for them means that the working men have to come here, earn money and send it back to the mexico to the take care of hair family. so if you're going to point a finger at me, it's easy to point five right back at you with a marine corps knife hand. but let's not have that game. listen, if you don't have the courage to stand up to the drug cartel, ten aside and find somebody who because can because i bet there are people in the mexico who are tired to living under the thumb of an oppressive cartel. and if jury concern you're just going to be a mouthpiece for it, then shut your mouth and go to work, go on somewhere. we have a lot of problems in this country, and we work on them. and to tell us we don't have love and culture, come to georgia and audiocassette to us about that. will: meanwhile, senator lindsey graham is somebody who suggests maybe america accepts up when it

comes concern steps up when it comes to the cartels. maybe it's american military the forces that can go this in and destroy the around dells concern the cartels of mexico. watch. >> the leading cause of death in america for 18 to 45-year-olds is fentanyl poisoning. these drug cartels are getting filthy rich. it's time to terrorize them. they're at war with you, you need to be at war with them. i can't think of a better use of our military than to blow up labs in mexico killing young americans. [laughter] joey: to be fair, lindsey graham can think of all kinds of uses for our military the. will: that's few true. rachel: he may be the wrong messenger in this case. there have been even in your home state the, will, the cartels were declared a terrorist organization, as they should be. they operate just like isis. there is a case to be made for taking them out, and it's it's the certainly destabilizing our country, and we can't have a terrorist organization or a nation, basically a narco state, right on our border, so there is

a case to be made. i always get nervous when i hear lindsey graham talk like this because, you know, i'm sorry concern the. will: he has a lot of enthusiasm. rachel: way too much. [laughter] and, by the way, i wish he had the same enthusiasm for the other side of the argument that we were talking about with the mexican president. we do have a cultural problem in our country. we cough a fatherlessness -- do have a fatherlessness problem, a spiritual problem many our country, and that needs to be creased. we can't just throw our hands up. will will i agree with you, and we have to juggle -- rachel: exactly, and we can. will: i'm not alone, it's not about me. i never forget k and it breaks my a heart when we have these parents come on and say, you know, my teenager the, yeah, i guess it look like in retroproprospect he tried to buy xanax on the internet, and then i woke up and he was dead. why is that happening? because these teens are making mistakes as kids often make mistakes. rachel: of course. will: ask they pay for that

mistake with their life because of this poison. fentanyl isn't the same thing as cocaine or even heroin in this respect. it is literally the most deadly poison that is being imported into our country, and it has real, like, real world, real life ramifications. and so then that comes -- lawrence jones has been doing a good job with this, highlighting it, because we're in the middle of spring break right now, right? and he's been talking, lawrence has been out there talking to kids on spring break right now. rachel: it's an important subject, but it's a pretty good assignment. will: well, yeah. it makes for good tv. lawrence, here he is talking to michael brown, a retired dea agent, about how spring break has changed. >> spring break to them is like a march madness which represents the largest opportunity to distribute narcotics at one single time. think about you have thousands of people gathered in one spot who are all drinking heavily, looking to relax and then, of course, the dealers slip in with

cocaine, methamphetamine and now fentanyl. so your -- the police department, they've been dealing with spring breaks for many years and they understand the threat, but of course now the threat has increased because the traffickers all see this as a huge opportunity to increase distribution profits. rachel: will, to your point about the innocent victims of fentanyl, there was the story of the couple who traveled here from france, they airbnb'd and their child must have been crawling around on the floor and died, and when they did the autopsy, they found out that the baby had fentanyl poisoning. there were partiers many that airbnb before, the place had not been proper arely cleaned, the baby must have ingested something. and picked it up there. it's tiny, tiny, tiny, like grains of salt. will: 70,000 last year, so 70,000 deaths. rachel: 70,000 -- joey: and, you know, we sit here and criticize the current

administration a lot because we're not happy with the policies they have and how they deliver on the policies we may even agree with. you know, yesterday and over the weekend i had the opportunity to weighing in on joe biden, and i started thinking about all these different countries that we may not like like saudi arabia, we we may not like some of the things that we co, but if we don't have a relationship with them, they become our enemy, and i realize that's where we are with mexico now. at least trump had mexico working with us. we may not have liked their government, we may not have liked some of policies the government had, but at least they were working with us, and now we have a mexican leader who is way more afraid of the cartelses than he ever would be our, his relationship with his closest and most fruit ifful ally concern the fruitful ally or neighbor. and some of the people that get to weigh in on the state of our country and the things that joe biden's doing are senators and politicians. but probably the best is louisiana senator john kennedy who says things like nobody else can. >> i believe that the united states of america is

star-spangled awesome. i believe that america is the greatest country in all of human history. when's the last time you heard somebody trying to sneak into china? i believe that our country was founded by geniuses, but it's being run by idiots. republicans are not perfect, we're not. but the other side is crazy. the american people do not deserve to be governed by deeply weird, nauseously woke people who hate george washington, hate thomas jefferson, hate abraham lincoln, hate dr. seuss and hate mr. potato head. [laughter] [applause] who think, who 40 think our kids should be able to change gerunds at recess. president biden's record has been spectacularly awful. it doesn't give me any joy to

say that, but honestly if you put president biden in charge of the sahara desert -- [laughter] he would run out of sand. rachel: i watch that and i think i want to see a joke-off between him and jimmy failla. [laughter] they're both really funny. joey: well, yeah. but jimmy count have what -- doesn't have what senator kennedy the has -- will: mr. poe today hoe head? joey: it's the pronoun. we can't have a mr. and ms.-- rachel: well, yeah, you can't define the gerunds. will: i love the point,st it's not just colloquialism, the thought experiment if you took down all international borders, would it have the net influx or outflow? would it have the world's largest increase or the world's

largest decrease in population. rachel: there are no dreamers in mexico city lining up to become citizens. joey: it's kind of what's happened, isn eat it? -- isn't it? will: turning now to your headlines, the foreman memphis police supervisor retired with benefits days before the police department could fire him. lieutenant duane can smith was on the scene when tyre nichols was beaten to death in january. the nichols' family attorney says the memphis pd shouldn't have allowed myth to, quote, cowardly sidestep the consequences of his actions. now to a fox business alert, ubs group is reportedly on the verge of taking over credit suisse. the takeover would come a week after the embattled swing swiss lender took a $53.7 billion loan from the swiss national bank. the silicon valley bank could be

taken over by first citizens bank following its stunning collapse and government takeover last week. both svb and credit suisse's recent troubles sparking a lack of confidence in the integrity of the banking system. a new study says dad jokes can be so embarrassing that they actually have a positive effect on a child's development. oh, really in the study plushed by the british psychological d by continually telling their children jokes that are so bad that they're embarrassing, fathers may push their children's limits for how much embarrassment they can handle. i like that. they show their children that embarrassment isn't fatal, and and those your headlines. i'm in. i like that. [laughter] i do. i think kids are terrified of being, you know, seen as embarrassing. rachel: right. will: if you think of it, that is a dad joke. you're okay, you can deal with it. rachel: you can handle it. you know, growing up with an immigrant mom who, like, didn't understand all the rules here

per se, like, i had -- people think i have tough skin, and, you know, i would say my skin's like an armadillo from reality tv or being, you know, at a young age or being on "fox & friends" and getting hit all the time. no, no, no, my mom trained me well. when my mom would show up at school in high school to pick me up, she would go -- ♪ will: on the horn? rachel: and other kids would be mortified and die, and i'd be like, thanks, mom. [laughter] joey: my dad was good on the cad jokes, he'd say stuff like i want a love sandwich, lookinging to lettuce alone. he'd the v have the puns, he definitely had a leg or maybe two legs up on me on cad jokes. [laughter] i try to reexcuse me tate 'em and say 'em, but i i can never hit the punchline, i guess i just don't have timing, i'm not sure concern. will: i've turned the radio up real loud, my son turns so red.

the point is to embarrass him. rachel: of course. by the way, best dad jokes ever come from our stage director dave. will: he's king of the puns. rachel: he is king of puns. thank you, dave -- joey: i'm not going to be a stand-up comic anytime soon.

will: to a fox news alert, paris officials are banning gatherings in key areas of the city as protesters clash with police for a third night over pension

labor after a new york times report revealed massive exploitation of migrant children, many of whom are ending up in dangerous jobs right here in the u.s. meanwhile, the biden administration is dealing with an influx of una accompanied minors after a surge last year of over 150,000. here to react is deputy opinion editor. so we've been covering a lot of the child exploitation going on in africa because of the green policy and how it's fueling child labor and it's very dangerous and, you know, horrible mine conditions there. but it's the happening here. >> yeah. i think they, first of all, rachel, you personally have been massively vindicated by this explosive report in "the new york times," because when president trump was actually effectively getting this under control, you said these are not, kids are not being brought by their parents, and now we know that they're not. you got, of course, a ton of pushback for that, but it is absolutely true.

they are being exported and trafficked by the cartels, and the biden administration has effectively partnered with the cartels as a kind of, like, jobs program to import child slave labor into this country and undercut working class wages. rachel: and we have to talk about the complicity of corporations as well because these kids were not just found in, you know, some farm somewhere. they were found working in u.s., well known sort of brand name factories in america. others, of course, are working in slaughterhouses, cleaning it, horrible stuff. but 40% of the kids end up in child labor. >> absolutely correct. and so what you have here is this collusion between the biden administration which ended all of trump's veryfective border policies from day one, partners with the cartels and corporations, and, you know, what you have here is just a total disregard for the well-being of the children, the well-being of working class americans. rachel: yeah. so i want to show you this quote from xavier becerra rah, of course, hhs secretary, about the

need to process these kids quicker as if they were, you know, factory widgets. it says if henry ford had seen this in his plants, he would have never -- this is him admonishing his workers for hhs and the people processing the kids -- if henry ford had seen this, he would have never become famous and rich. this is not the way you do an assembly line. >> yeah. i mean, the way that they talk about people. and all under the guise of compassion, right in the democrats like to act like they think about immigration compassionately. we have to have open borders, what about these poor people from other countries? the is they have enabled the most unbelievable cruelty. i children slave migrants, enslaved to to cartels. working class americans having their wages undercut, record deaths at the border we're seeing, record numbers of migrants, 890 died on the border. just unbelievable cruelty all under the guise of their.com passion concern the. rachel: and,s by the way, many

of them are sex slaves it's horrible. i want you to also listen to this clip from irene, she's a lifelong el paso resident talking about her own family's experience well legal immigration. listen. >> growing up, my dad actually provided for our family as a construction worker. and many months during the year he would have to leave el paso because illegals would come and underbid the jobs. all those elected officials who say that illegals only come and take the jobs that no american wants, that is a lie. rachel: how do democrats get away with a policy that hurts the poor and the working class like this? >> right. so, you know, 50 years ago democrats were at the side of regulating immigration to protect working class americans because they saw themselves as the party of labor. there's been a old the flip on that, right -- a total flip on that, right? now you have republicans saying you have to protect these workers and democrats saying,

no, let's just have an open border and slave labor at the bottom of the wage, of the wage spectrum. and, you know, but this is the really a challenge to republicans, i have to say. the republicans are now voter base is the working class. they need a working class agenda. rachel: agreed. >> they need to keep pushing that, and i'm excited to see where that goes. rachel: well, you write for compact magazine online, i'm loving everything. we just love having you here, so thank you. >> thank you so much, rachel. rachel: of course. coming up, former president donald trump believes he will be arrested on tiew.z we're going to get reaction from the great one, mark levin, later in the show. but up next, soll wisen berg react as, and he's calling this a kiss grace. what the? good morning hallow makes it easy to build a daily habit of prayer and meditation want to start with a five minute daily gospel?

the 0 the 16 campaign. our next guest calls us a weak case mote motivated by politics. sol wisenberg joins us now. sol, great to see you morning. it seems that almost every prosecutor or every former prosecutor we've spoken to has said this is very, very weak, this is a tenuous case. what is your take when you look at the potential charges here from alvin bragg? >> well, there's a term of art for this in the criminal law world, and that's a hyphenated term, and it starts with chicken and then it ends with i-t, i'll put it that way. [laughter] will: technical term. >> yeah, it's a technical term, but it's a real term that's used. the question you should ask yourself about and anybody who's watched me over the years on fox knows that i'm no big fan of

donald trump. but the question to ask yourself in a case like this, would a case like this be brought against anybody else? whether he or she be president, former president or a regular citizen, and the answer, the answer is no. you can debate all day long whether or not former president trump should be indicted related to the records at mar-a-lago, whether or not he should be indicted with respect to january 6th, incitement of lawless activity. those are real crimes if that they occurred and and he committed them. this is are preposterous. will: why? why is the preposterous, sol? >> like i said, number one, because it would never be prosecuted this late against anybody if else. number two, it is in most instances under new york state law a misdemeanor. it can only be a felony if the falsification -- but we've heard this is about falsification of

records. that can only be a felony if the records are falsified to conceal another felony. so there are real questions here whether or not it ultimately stands up because of statute of limitations concerns and other concerns. it is a weak sister case. will: the more i listen to you or others talk about this case, it seems to me -- tell me if you agree or disagree -- but it seems to me the purpose of this is actually to get a photo of donald trump in handcuffs this week. >> well, i actually doubt that's going to happen. i think that they're going to -- first of all, heavy got to deal with the fact concern they've got to keel with the fact that he has secret service protection, that is, the new york authorities. and i would say that would be very, very stupid on their part, to do a person walk, to release a mug shot. i don't think that's going to happen. i don't think it's going to be on tuesday the from what i understand either, it'll probably be this week with. so i don't think you'll see that. on the other hand, apparently this d.a. had originally decided

he had no case and was pressured by the progressives to change his mind on that. will: right. >> so who knows? will: all bents off. >> -- all bets off. >> again, we don't know for sure what the charges are going to be, but if what i've heard is correct, this really is sad. will: one last question quickly, you mentioned all the other potential investigations into donald trump as well. i've seen in the articles this week that if you -- and i don't know this to be true, but i've seen this characterization, that if donald trump were asked, he would prefer this charge to be brought first as opposed to something in georgia or as you mentioned something about january 6th or mar-a-lago. why would it be strategically advantageous for trump to have this one run out front? >> as opposed to the other ones because it is so obviously political -- will: right. >> -- and is such a chicken bleep offense. will: and it could undercut the others, would be the idea? >> i think so.

i do think all these charges, if they're brought, are going to ultimately harm him politically, but i think it makes perfect sense that he would prefer to deal with this first because the charge is so weak. it's brought by an elected official, democratic firm, anding -- official, and it would obviously be political. will: deal with the chicken blank first. i understand your analysis, sol wisenberg. it's great to hear from you this morning, thank you. >> nice to be here. thanks for having me. will: all right. rachel, over you. rachel: words to live by.
