warships. alexandria hoff has more. alex. >> alexandria: the reaction is more muted than the visit from nancy pelosi last summer. this dynamic does shift day-by-day and yesterday an aircraft along with three vessels were spotted near taiwan. china foreign ministry told reporters the u.s. was coniving with taiwan and the ministry said china will take firm and forceful measure to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity. these are threats chalked up to china simply deploying intimidation tactics. republican congressman michael mccaul, who led the delegation, said this overnight. working together and this is why we are here today, sir, in person, to tell you we are friends of taiwan. we support taiwan.

and united we will protect taiwan from the communist chinese party. >> alexandria: once again the taiwanese president will meet with the delegation tomorrow, following the wednesday meeting in california that sparked the chinese warnings, the group of lawmakers is to harden taiwan against potential invasion by china. >> in this meeting with president tsai we had a good conversation, looking at ukraine and this creation of this new axis of power with iran, russia, north korea and china, supplying weapons early to deter war from ever happening matters. >> alexandria: speaker mccarthy said in a house that is very divided, this is an issue of true unity. >> ashley: thank you, moscow court says it will hear appeal of detained "wall street

journal" reporter evan gershkovich on thursday. the 31-year-old is fighting espionage charges denying he was spying on behalf of the u.s. gershkovich was arrested last week, it is unclear whether the american will appear in person or via webcam, he faces 20 years in prison if found guilty. meteorologist adam klotz is here. tell us it will be better this weekend. we do not have the setup, but there is still weather features that may cause people problems in the holiday weekend, beginning with temperatures temperature is warm along east coast, back toward west it is colder, there is a cold front in middle of the country with a lot of rain. if you live in the dakotas, nine this morning, that is the frontal boundary. well is rain along the gulf

coast, this is the main feature over next couple days. heavy rain from rio grand valley to new orleans and toward new orleans will run across the coast and it is round after round of rain for those folks. flood watch is in place and we'll see a lot of that over the course of the weekend. how much rain? widespread, several inches of rain and the ground is already soggy from rain we've seen thus far, flooding will be potentially threatening. in the carolinas, you are talking three to four to five inches ever total prescription. rain is the big story, flash flood threat for today across louisiana, lifting up into mississippi, getting toward alabama. these are areas where we saw severe weather, no severe weather through the holiday weekend, the story is going to be that very heavy rain for next couple of days. a break but something to pay attention to. >> ashley: i will not lie, i saw

it would be 36, 35 degrees, wait a second, are we not out of the woods yet? >> a week now it will be in the 80s. that time of year, we get everything. >> ashley: adam klotz, thank you. >> guy: disturbing video, we want to warn you this is considered graphic. murdered cash app ceo bob lee seen grabbing his wounds and pleading for help after being stabbed outside of his san francisco home. this is brand-new video, new details on the case. >> ashley: so hard to watch, plus convicted felon and defund police activist doesn't think murderers or other criminals should go to jail, he says they can clean their victims homes instead and the ideas are getting a warm reception from leaders in austin, texas. next guest is a democrat who can't believe what she is hearing. do not go anywhere.

>> guy: back with the latest on america's crime crisis. this video you are about to see is hard to watch. new security footage capturing the final moments of cash app founder bob lee's life after he was fatally stabbed in front of his luxury apartment building in

california. the millionaire is seen clutching his wounds and trying to wave down cars for help. lee was able to call 911. sara foster, daughter of david foster says, i'm a registered democrat, liberal politicians are ruining cities, disgusting. my heart breaks for this family. no arrests have been made in this case thus far, lee's killer is still on the loose. chicago mayor elect brandon johnson wants to overhaul the city and hire social workers to respond to calls. he says the move will free up officers to crack down on crime. yesterday johnson dodged a question on whether he will fill 2000 police vacancies in his city. >> do you still plan to fill the police vacancies?

>> we are uniting the city today and this moment is quite frankly historical moment. the first black woman, lgbtq transitions her administration to another black man. >> guy: okay, not an answer to the question. johnson will officially replace the aforementioned lori lightfoot on may 18th. >> ashley: in austin, texas, defund the police activist says bartering with criminals instead of sending them to jail, saying someone breaks into my home, i call the police. then what? they find the person and the person goes to jail, we didn't fix anything. instead of sending her to jail, say she pays me back by cleaning my house for the next six weeks.

co-founder of save austin now is joining me now. cleo, thank you for being here. austin is constantly in the news lately because of things like this. crime in the city is up because of the staffing shortages in the police department. tell us how dangerous is rhetoric like this? >> well, it is not only dangerous, it is taken seriously by the city council and mayor. these comments should be laughed out of our city, instead, the mayor last year gave a key to our city to this individual chaz moore and declared chaz moore day last year. they let this individual and his extremist crowd write police policy. up until a couple days ago he had a city with the city manager thchl is insanity we are dealing with in austin >> ashley: why was this allowed?

why was he given a key to the city? hope they are not listening to him, why is this happening? >> i think in the wake of the george floyd murder, there was a call for police reform, police accountability, which obviously everyone supports police accountability. i support accountable police, accountable district attorneys, mayors, everyone should be held accountable. hating police and expressing support for groups that want to abolish police departments, they should not be taken seriously and they hurt the communities all this wokeness was supposed to help. >> ashley: back to chas, he thinks murderers should be given -- rather forgiven, saying if someone went into my house with a shotgun and blew her brains out, i'm going to be sad. some point, if i'm able to sit

with that, there is no level or retribution that will make me feel any type of way. cleo, you know chas, his comments, do they shock you at all? >> absolutely. i was member of austin justice coalition that he is leader of. the reason i left the group, after attending rallies, they were screaming f the police, they want to abolish our police department and i do not support that and i made my position so loud as a democrat is because i believe i support majority of what austinites believe in, public safety, they support police officers, they want police officers held accountable. this extreme views are not held by majority of austinites or americans. they do not need to be taken seriously, i got involved in this, i grew up in one of the

poorest neighborhoods in south dallas. my best friend was shot and killed in the back in front of me. i grew up and became a police officer and worked in the community i grew up in. i believe in social services and active police work and ability to have police presence in our communities to counteract the increase in violent crime we've seen. but this, shutting down prisons, not holding murderers accountable, this is craziness. i would love to hear what the mayor has to say in response to that, will he continue to have partnerships with people who have these insane views of our police department? >> ashley: i couldn't imagine that anyone would agree with these statements and comments, especially when it comes to murderers and criminals. they have to be held accountable or we will never see an end to this. cleo petricek, thank you for

foundation say they want donald trump back in the white house and 26% want ron desantis, only 24% of voters are backing biden in 2024. 58% say they disapprove of biden's policies. >> guy: abc "good morning america" catching heat after viewers notice clips from former president trump following his arrest, the clips were altered, text trump 88022, for his campaign, they blurred that out. >> ashley: the network didn't blur clips from the previous election cycle for joe biden. beverly hallberg, fellow independent women's forum, joins us now, beverly, should we be surprised at this at this point?

>> beverly: we shouldn't. their members have a disdain for donald trump and many outlets didn't cover his speech following his indictment. what we have to wait and see is whether or not as president biden, we are guessing will throw his hat in the ring. will we see the same type of blurring? we'll have to wait and see. the contrast will be clear when others get in the race. news outlets know this is good rating, not want to give him credit whatsoever. donald trump raised $8 million since his indictment, i don't think it prevented him from getting any donations. >> guy: i think it jumped to 10 million last i saw. if they blur the text donation link or

number to text, fair enough if you say that is our policy to do it. if you end up selectively blurring out the donation option only for candidates people in your newsroom don't like, it is glaring in your face, isn't it? >> beverly: yeah, how blatant do you want your bias to be? if this is standard they have, anything donation related, they will blur it moving forward, fine, people will worry whether or not it is good strategy. is this election interference, if they prioritize donation of one candidate over another, it is easy to point to at election interference. we will see how they cover joe biden if he throws his hat in the ring. >> ashley: if joe biden gets up to talk and that will be the day, if he gets up to speak,

they do not blur it. do you think abc should be held accountable for what they did with trump? >> beverly: i think so. this is where you may want to go to the fcc, and say, the way these news outlets are covering the candidates is unfair, if you prioritize one candidate over another, especially in terms of campaign dollars and how people donate, you are suppressing one candidate and preferring another. i don't think the audience is shocked when they see this. when we point out things like this, hopefully news outlets think, we should be more careful we have to keep them accountable, media is a crumbling institution where bias has seeped in and it will seep into this next election. >> guy: quickly on this topic, i'm curious what the internal conversation sounded like leading to that decision?

it took effort to blur out that particular part of the screen, multiple people made that decision together, that was a choice, right? >> beverly: it was definitely a choice. i wonder if there was a moment where they were like, nobody will notice this, he will not get campaign donations. there was internal discussion, preemative discussion to not give him credit. i think the news outlets are saying, he was just indicted, this is about criminal charges, we do not want to move forward with promotion of it. they will make that claim. this is somebody running for office and this is blatant move by a news outlet. >> ashley: interesting to see the response we get from that. do you remember the easter bunny who jumped between president biden last year? the white house is giving him a

makeover. after years of using loaned bunny costumes we now havure on own official easter bunny family. what do you think is going on? >> beverly: look, if we want to put some tax money into easter bunny costumes, i don't have a huge issue with that. what is most notable, moving from one easter bunny to an easter bunny family. only thing i can think of is i think it is way to have more bunnies out there to prevent president biden from going rogue. we have that clip from a year ago, he started to answer questions from reporters and now a multitude of bunnies trying to prevent president biden from saying or doing something he shouldn't say. more bunnies keeping president biden in check. >> guy: a whole group of bunny handlers in costumes. >> ashley: i want to know who is in the costumes. >> guy: i support this, i feel

the president should have bunnies guiding him all year round, not just easter. >> beverly: absolutely, the bunny has always been a staffer, i think you have trained people to prevent him from talking to the stress, i think it is a clear strategy. >> guy: beverly hallberg, thank you. fox news alert here. biden white house releasing report on the botched afghanistan withdrawal, light on details, very light on accountability. >> ashley: wait until you hear what the white house said yesterday and who they are blaming for the disaster. this isn't charmin! no wonder i don't feel as clean. here's charmin ultra strong. ahhh! my bottom's been saved! with its diamond weave texture, charmin ultra strong cleans better with fewer sheets and less effort. enjoy the go with charmin.

>> guy: fox news alert, the biden administration releasing review of the chaotic 2021 afghanistan withdrawal, blaming the bulk of the disaster on former president trump and his administration. the taliban agreed to participate in peace process if the united states committed to withdraw by the deadline. president trump pressured afghan government officials to release 5000 taliban fighters from prison, including senior war commanders without securing release of only american hostage held by the taliban. >> ashley: the afghan government collapsed and the taliban took over, white house officials are still standing by the decisions, listen. >> people don't have issue with

the decision to order troops out of afghanistan, it is the way it was done. there were children being killed, people were hanging off jets leaving and you are proud of the way this mission was conducted? >> nobody is saying everything was perfect. a lot went right, yeah, there is a lot to be proud of. >> ashley: led to the death of 13 servicemember. john kirby said he doesn't buy it was chaotic and secretary of state mike pompeo fired back. >> i'm sorry, i don't buy the argument of chaos, all this talk of chaos, i didn't see it, it was tough the first few hours, you would expect it to be. >> this was chaotic, 13 americans killed. they sabotaged a plan put in place that was conditions-based. they came in, took the plan we had and botched it, made a hash of it. america people have suffered from it and continue to suffer

today. >> ashley: i understand this 12-page report from the white house, they don't want to implicate the president, i get it. him saying in 2021, i believe to peter doocy after this happened, he said the buck stops with me, i take responsibility for everything that happened to this point. then you see the report and it points back to the trump administration and to president trump and it was all their fault. it just seems there is never any accountability with this administration, even when you have the lives of 13 marines taken. they were stolen. that should have never happened. if they had a plan in place, there was no plan, clearly no plan in place, this is what happens. it bothers me to my core when they say this was not chaotic. i've interviewed gold star mothers who have sat on this program and cried because they no longer have their kids

because of this and say it wasn't chaotic? what part are they not seeing that was chaotic? >> guy: i think that we've heard a lot of insulting things from the podium recently, this might be right up there in my mind in terms of the most insulting thing they are trying to pedal to the american people. just hoping we have collective case of amnesia about the summer of 2021. we saw people plummeting to their death. >> ashley: babies. >> guy: babies being thrown over walls, equipment abandoned behind, thousands of americans and u.s. allies being left behind in violation of a solemn promise from this president. you have a spokeperson for the president saying he didn't see chaos. where was he? asleep for those weeks? i can't believe he actually said that and neither frankly can general jack keane, he was on

special report last night with bret baier talking about this, looking backward, blaming trump buck-passing endeavor from the biden team, here is general jack keane's reaction from that. >> jack keane: president trump was not there, president biden recommended against that and painted a picture this could go faster than what we think it could go because once you release it, things get uncontrolled by those events. this clearly sent a message to our adversaries that this was a disaster, they saw it for what it is. all our allies and friends saw it. we haven't had humiliating operational defeat like that. not only horror how we left and leaving thousands behind, we walked away from a 20-year ally and surrendered it to our

adversaries who were in charge on 9/11. >> guy: ashley, we saw it, our adversaries and enemies saw it and now i guess the white house plan is to say don't believe your own memory, don't play this type of footage. they say trump did this and set everything up. there is some truth to that, ultimately the execution of the policy lay with the existing commander-in-chief, the sitting commander-in-chief at the time. who a joke. president biden has undone so many trump policies with the stroke of a pen, but this is one thing -- >> ashley: on the first day. >> guy: he had no flexibility, it was trump's fault. it is gaslighting and pretty pitiful. >> ashley: there is a pattern. we saw what happened with this botched afghanistan withdrawal and with ukraine and now with

russia and china, our adversaries see no accountability. nobody will take responsibility for this. >> guy: it is incoherent, it was extraordinary success, there was no chaos, to the extent there was bad stuff, it was the other guy, real leadership. >> ashley: things get heated at university of albany when students protested free speech event sponsored by turning point usa. watch this. [cheering] [chanting] >> ashley: that wasn't all, the protesters took things further when they destroyed a bible, ripping up the pages and throwing it in the trash can. pastor robert jeffress joined us reacting to that. >> it is illustration of the hypocrisy of the left, what you just saw. they have as their mantra, tol

renes and they are the most intolerant people in the world. there is something else going on here, destruction of this bible shows whom they really hate. they hate the god of the bible. >> ashley: suny albany says we are equally committed to fostering an environment where all students feel safe and included and right to protest is also protected. tennessee lawmakers who stormed the state capitol following the nashville school shooting yesterday. justin jones and justin pierceon got the boot, both of them, but democrat gloria johnson survived the vote and says race could have something to do with that. feel there was a difference in the outcome between you and your colleague? >> might have to do with color of our skin. >> ashley: denying race was a factor in the decision, they say the majority of the conference was in charge of expelling

johnson over the protests last week. >> reaction at the top is -- [indiscernible] -- common sense gun laws. >> determined to speak up and to fight on anyhow, this is democratic, this is wrong. this is perpetuation of patriarchy and white supremacy. >> ashley: the newly opened seats will go to special election to be filled. congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez wants clarence thomas to be impeached over reports he accepted undisclosed gifts. what about the ethices investigation she's in the middle of right now? >> guy: hunter biden latest art exhibit just debuted in the big apple, you can take one piece home for the low, low price much just $85,000, what a deal. cheryl casone is here with both of those stories straight ahead.

>> guy: welcome back, congresswoman alexandria

ocasio-cortez calling to impeach supreme court justice clarence thomas over report he accepted gifts and vacation from a conservative donor. >> ashley: cheryl casone is here with more. good morning. >> cheryl: there is outrage over justice thomas and his wife and the friends they have. we're talking about harland crow, dallas businessman, the couples have known each other for years and spent time together. aoc, alexandria ocasio-cortez wants him impeached. she says this degree of corruption is shocking, almost cartoonish, thomas must be impeached, this is what the supreme court will be known for, stripping human rights. harland crow says hospitality we

extended to the thomas family is no different from other friends, justice thomas and jenny never asked for this hospitality. i think you are allowed to have friends on the supreme court. >> guy: there is not concrete allegation of conflict of interest in terms of cases that came before the justice. "the federalist" wrote a piece from a different perspective than aoc, people might want to check it out. >> cheryl: and remember she is under ethices investigations for wearing that dress and took tickets to the met gala, $30,000 ticket? >> ashley: something like that. don't worry about it, hypocrisy i have an issue with, she forgot she's in the middle of a situation to say the least. the biden administration is pushing to make bans on

trans-athletes competing against biological females, which is title nine violation. >> cheryl: they want to expand title nine under department of education and it would make this sexual discrimination. expand the definition of exual discrimination to include athletes. biological boys being on girl teams because they identify as girls. anyway new proposal has stipulation that recognizes in some instances, particularly competitive high school and college athletic environment, some schools may adopt policy that limit transgender student participation. this goes to scholarships and so much outrage in the athletic community because these young girls, biological girls, are losing out on scholarship opportunities to biological boys who identify as girls and are

playing in girls sports. we have seen that, lia thomas, the swimmer. >> ashley: i played sports my entire life, it is hard enough to win against a biological girl who is really good, throw biological boys in the mix, what are you doing? >> cheryl: i had this discussion with friends of mine that are doctors, they say it is bone structure and genetics. >> ashley: literal d.n.a. >> cheryl: it is muscle composition, talking about nuts and bolts of what you are competing against if you are a biological girl, you are at disadvantage and little girls are losing scholarship opportunities. >> ashley: you have to wonder how they feel going into high school thinking, does it even matter? will i get further than this and play in college? >> guy: and can i speak up about it or will that hurt my future, i will be labeled a bigot.

draw the line on this. competition is something that unites most americans, basic fairness. >> cheryl: we have to move on, i will say within global athletic sports there has been pushback to change in the direction of stay with biological male and female in competitive sports. >> ashley: now to this, hunter biden debuting his latest artwork in new york city last night and three pieces were on sale for $85,000. >> cheryl: this is an interesting one. according to "new york post," he wasn't there. he was in new york, photographed a few days ago. remember this is the same individual being investigated for tax fraud, money laundering and violation of money laws. $85,000 for each piece, bridging the abstract. look, if art is therapeutic and keeps you away from drugs and

other bad things, i'm all for it, the conflict of interest because you are the president's son and taking in a lot of money is the problem here. >> guy: i'm not a big art buff or critic, i will confess, i like some of his stuff. $85,000 ludicrous and that price tag comes with the last name written at the bottom of the pieces. i kind of like it, though. >> ashley: to each their own, it looks like fingerpainting. >> ashley: i'm more traditional, do other artists, struggling artists, did they get kicked out of gallery show chance because they don't have the last name biden. >> guy: they can change their name legally, that would help. >> ashley: thank you, have a good weekend. stormy daniels sits down with a one-on-one with piers morgan, we will share some of that exclusive interview, including

thoughts on what should come next for donald trump. >> guy: will cain will talk about what is coming up next. >> will: on "fox and friends," missiles in the middle east, israelis jets bomb lebanon as benjamin netanyahu promises his enemies will pay the price, what it means for a hostile region. plus, biden administration releases their report on the afghanistan withdrawal, they blame former president donald trump, what they left out of the faulted report and brian catches up with cardinal dolan, to talk about easter and congressman hunt and jack keane and geraldo rivera and jim gray to recap day one at the masters. a busy friday morning right here on "fox and friends." king's hawaiian sliders are ready. great - i invited a few more friends. ♪

>> ashley: stormy daniels sits down with piers morgan since president trump's indictment saying she hopes to testify against him. >> i think having them call me in and put me on the stand legitimizes my story and who i am and if they don't, it almost feels like they are hiding me. >> there is no doubt if they ask you to testify you will testify? >> oh, absolutely. specific to my case, i don't think that his crimes against me are worthy of incarceration. >> the 34 criminal charges against trump stem from alleged hush money payments made to daniels during his campaign. the interview comes after house republicans issued their first subpoena in the probe against the indictment of trump. you know, look at piers morgan always getting the newsmakers, think what you want she is a big part of the news right now. my biggest question i have, i will have to watch what about the nda. i don't know much about this. >> she was paid hush money but

there is not a lot of hush in terms of a nationally televised interview about this. did you camp what she said there? she doesn't believe that former president trump should go to jail based on this crime. i guess that's a difference between stormy daniels and alvin bragg. meanwhile, let's take a look. a live look in fact this morning at augusta, georgia, where in just a few hours day two of the 2023 masters will begin. hun area starters gary player and jack nicklaus and tom watson teeing off. all three legends easily fairway in front of a packed crowd most prestigious tournament. tiger woods big name off to a rock jerry start finishing day one at two over par. five time master's champ in a i do for 53 reasonable doubt place at the moment. opening round of the masters there was a bit of controversy with social media users accusing collin of cheating. the pga pro-appeared to move his

ball on the sixth hole after it had been marked. i believe you cannot do that he was not penalized. >> all i can think of masters pimento cheese sandwich. i will be making sandwiches. reboot of the 1970s classic rise of the pink ladies featuring all female quartet. >> are a lot of kids in riddell who are sick of feeling like they are not welcome here. >> i know what it feels like to not feel like the others. >> and the new show is also tackling issues like sexual orientation gender expression and racial identity. in the third episode of the series though, the takers take on discrimination at riddell high with a song about white supremacy. lyrics will reportedly include when you're in the club, we've got each other's backs as long as you are not jewish, asian, brown or black. single woman or gay on the wrong side of they.

rise of the pink ladies takes place four years before john travolta and it olivia john's characters attended riddell high. reviews not looking so good. the prequel nobody asked for. i said earlier i just wish they would leave classics like this alone. just let them be classics. but you had a different take. i don't care if they want to have a spin on it. but this might be spinning too much. >> i'm also just trying to understand the timing of this so the prequell comes in the 50's at some point? and you had all these extremely enlightened teenagers in the 50's singing about gay rights at the time. seems like a bit of a stretch. you read some of the lyrics i'm not sure they are all that catchy but very political which isn't necessarily surprising. >> not as catchy especially as the original in the break of the 4:00, guy and i were just singing along. we played in a tease and then we just started humming the same thing after tended. those are catchy.

it's a classic. who doesn't love greece? grease. who doesn't love olivia newton john and john travolta in this. leave it alone don't make it to political. >> i tend to agree. >> ashley: guy, it's so great to have you on set live. >> thanks for having me. >> ashley: have a great weekend. "fox & friends" starts right now. ♪ >> ainsley: we begin with a fox news alert. israeli fighter jets carrying out airstrikes overnight targeting militant groups in south lebanon and the gaza strip. and hours ago authorities say two israeli women were killed in a shooting attack in the west bank. >> brian: the rare israeli strikes in help n lebanon come 4 strikes in israel. the jewish people observe passover and muslims mark the holy month of ramadan.
