[applause] lots of thanks to our panel and you, our studio audience. "fox news" with trace gallagher is next on behalf of greg gutfeld, i love you, america. >> good evening, welcome to fox news @ nine, i'm trace gallagher in los angeles. an update from florida where a group of teenagers are now suspects and victims in a robbery, burglary and murder scheme that included a vendetta to san francisco where just one day after a tech executive was murdered, a former city fire commissioner is beaten and slashed and the mayor and the city's supervise err now acknowledging -- supervisor are now acknowledging they don't

have enough police to secure the streets of san francisco. jonathan hunt is live with more. >> reporter: a brutal and brazen attack, those the words of the san francisco police chief describing another high-profile example of the kind of violent crime that's leaving many people in the city by the bay terrified and angry. the victim on this occasion was the former san francisco fire commissioner attacked by three men as he left his mother's home in the marina neighborhood at 7:00 p.m. wednesday night. he was beaten with a pipe and suffered severe head injuries including a fractured skull. now, the assault happened the day after tech executive bob lee was stabbed to death in another area of san francisco generally considered safe. lee's final moments partly caught on this security camera video. the san francisco police chief says the killer will be caught. >> as much as i know people want to know, but i don't want to do anything or say anything to

compromises what is going on right now, and they are working very hard on this case and i'm very confident. >> but as the city continues to struggle with crime and the perception at the very least it is becoming more and more dangerous, the city's supervisor admits san francisco faces a real law and order challenge. >> too few people are willing to be police officers in san francisco. they don't feel supported. they don't want the job after politicians have been calling for defund and disband. >> and there are real fears that san francisco could enter a so-called doom loop whereby more and more residents and companies leave, tax revenues thereby plummet, city services therefore get slashed and crime gets worse and more people leave so, trace, the loop goes on. >> trace: one of the prettiest cities in america having a tough time right now, jonathan, thank you in marion county, florida two teens have been arrested for

the murder of three teenagers and the marion county sheriff is making headlines for calling out teachers and society in general. lauren blanchard is live with more on that. >> reporter: sheriff billy woods says people can't blame guns for killing three young teenagers but he says the criminals are those that are being held accountable by school and their society. >> the one thing that has no ability or the capacity to commit the crime itself and that's the gun. all the gun laws we got in place didn't prevent it, did it? neither will any new ones. >> reporter: here's what we know tonight. police are still on the hunt for a third suspect in the teen-on-teen murders that left two juveniles in handcuffs, three dead and one on the run in marion county, florida. the victims are 16-year-olds laleh and camille corrals and an unidentified 17 year old male.

investigators say lalei was shot outshot side of the road late last month where she was taken to a hospital where she later died. a half mile away, the police found a 17-year-old with a gunshot wound. the police say at one point, the suspects were in that vehicle that was partially submerged in the lake before they shot the victims. >> this is not something that's common around here. i have lived in this neighborhood for nine years so, um, it's really surprising. >> reporter: the sheriff hasn't decided if he'll charge the suspects as adults or not but he believes they deserve the maximum penalty. the youngest, trace, now in handcuffs is now just 12 years old. >> trace: it's crazy. lauren blanchard live for us. lauren, thank you. let's bring in fox news contributor ted williams in florida right now covering this case. ted, three kids dead. we got two others accused of murder and the sheriff down

there in marion county, billy woods, says this is a societal problem. listen to him, and then i'll get your response. >> the fact is society fails it. we do not hold our juveniles accountable. school districts h across this state and across this nation need to stop minimizing the actions of their students. hold them accountable! >> he said again and again, ted, hold them accountable. what are you learning down there about these kids? >> trace, this was an excellent investigation by law enforcement officers down here to solve these murders. what they found was that three of the juveniles that they -- right now, they have two of them in custody and they're still looking for one, but all of these juveniles had records. and something else they found

that was extraordinary was that the three juveniles involved in the killing of the three victims that they all knew each other and that they all, six of them, had been involved in criminal activity here in this area. and as a result of that, this was a situation where a robbery and some vindictiveness went awry and they wound up shooting initially layla. they left her by the road, but there were witnesses who saw her vehicle leaving the area at a high rate of speed. subsequently through witnesses, through forensics, they found a second body the next day of a young teenage boy. and then the third day, they found submerged in layla's car another person, but they were able to take the forensics, the

bullets and the eyewitness testimony, all of those things worked into this investigation to bring these two individuals that they've got in custody to justice and the one that is on the run, the sheriff, billy woods, had said he definitely will get that one. >> trace: 17-year-old suspect told police, quoting here, because she was still alive -- talking about one of those that was killed -- because she was still alive, she was going to snitch on us all. we was all going to go to jail for life. these are kids responding like mafia members or cartel members, ted. your final thoughts on this? >> you know, it's hard to believe, trace, you had a 12-year-old kid, a 12-year-old kid involved in these killings! and these were just vicious killings. they didn't give a damn, unfortunately and they took those lives.

and i can tell you it was a very emotional day for the sheriff billy woods in bringing these individuals to justice. >> trace: yeah. yeah. ted, great to see you, as always. thank you. nice work down there. now, let's bring in "washington times" legal affairs reporter and attorney alex sawyer. alex, great to see you again. i love this headline. i want to put it up. this is from cnn. it says, quoting here, despite high-profile killings, san francisco has far fewer homicides than other similarly-sized cities. i mean, this is kind of a re-do of mostly peaceful protests. you had a tech executive who was murdered. you had a fire commissioner who was badly beaten out there and now you have the mayor saying, listen, we need the feds to come in and help us because we can't handle this. >> right! and i think from my legal affairs reporting back on -- i can tell you over the years -- part of what i think is cultivating this is there's been real success from liberal

activists and their placement of, um, your progressive d.a.'s and prosecutors in various cities across the country. those, of course, support abolishing the death penalty and want to limit prosecutors of low-level crimes and scale back punishments. when you do that, you don't deter crime from a lawyer's perspective, you usually don't have a murder start out with murder. it gets to that point. it's to the point of us talking about punishing juveniles, you have to stop it before it gets worse. we're seeing this even in d.c. it relates to lax judicial discretion as well with judges and their ability to release defendants out on bail or even without bail. for example, just this week in d.c., there was a virginia woman who was stabbed and killed who came into the city to go to a concert and was at a hotel and a fugitive who had been out for eight days, he was going to go back for his hearing. the judge let him out.

he murdered her, stabbed her 30 times and he had a criminal record. should have been locked up. >> trace: yeah. it's amazing because now you go down to florida -- and we just talked about this with ted williams -- you had cytisus -- you had kids that murdered. they were robbing and burglarizing. the marion county sheriff, billy woods, said this, which i think is instructive, watch! >> look, i'm just a humble, humble simple man in this world and a father. and my advice to parents is to be a parent and not a best friend. know where your kids are. know what they're doing. know who their friends are. >> trace: yeah, but the problem is these kids need to be held accountable but the liberal policies prevent teachers and many times parents from actually disciplining them, alex. >> yeah, well, discipline, of course, starts at home and then what's next is the schools. a lot of teachers say they notice that administrators are fearful of parents and potential lawsuits when they want to step in and issue harsh punishments.

i will note, though, when we talk about juveniles, there's a reason they're treated differently than adults in the criminal justice system. the idea is their brain development, they don't -- you don't have a fully-developed brain until you're in your 20's, so to say. experts argued that. and therefore, children or youth tend to act more impullively or based on emotion. we don't hold them necessarily to the same standards. with florida, i believe it'll be the prosecutor's discretion how they want to charge the 16-year-old and 17-year-old a 12-year-old that's under 14, and i believe in the state of florida it's 14 is the minimum to be able to be referred to adult court. >> trace: that's why a lot of the gangs around the country are using these young people, right? they send them into the stores to steal all they can. they send them in to do the dirty work because they know they're not going to be held responsible and that's what is happening across the country is you have all of these liberal policies and people are utilizing these policies to use these kids to go in and do the

dirty work and they are not being held accountable. alex, it's always great to see you. thank you. >> thanks. >> t l1] in the meantime, milwaukee county, wisconsin h18 overdose deaths in just four days that authorities believe are linked to a bad batch of street drugs laced with fentanyl and an animal tranquilizer that causes human flesh to rot. because it's not an opioid t doesn't respond to narcan. milwaukee is now begging the white house to stop the flow of illegal drugs coming across the southern border. whiler on the border, one human smuggler who led texas police on a chase veered off the road in an effort to run down a trooper who was deploying spike strips. it was a close call for the trooper who did not get hurt. the smuggler hit speeds topping 100 miles per hour and ran into oncoming traffic before he bailed out. he was arrested. while an idaho couple was convicted of abusing their

adopted daughter including starving her so badly, she had a heart attack at age five which she survived. the state asked for a 20-year jail sentence but the parents got off with four years probation and community service. a local paper says the judge argued jail time would only hurt the four adoptive kids and the parents still have those four kids. in the meantime, body camera video was just released of police discovering the home where utah father michael shot and killed his wife, mother-in-law and five children before turning the gun on himself. this happened back in january. investigators also released a report detailing his suicide note where he said he would rather rot in hell than endure his wife's controlling behavior. investigators say it was he, not his wife, he was controlling and abusive. in los angeles, police pursued an attempted murder suspect on a two-hour chase all across l.a. county. at one point, the suspect ditched his failing truck and jumped in the back of a waiting

vehicle. all five suspects were arrested. well, the fox news@nine commonsense department is confused. did california governor gavin newsom ban his state agencies from traveling to republican states only to get on a plane and travel to republican states? apparently, hypocrisy is ok when there's an urgent message and newsom's message was to inform red states that their beliefs, values and customs are dead wrong. and more specifically, their public education is under assault. there's nothing quite like being lectured on education by a man whose state ranks 50th in literacy. a state that fought for the power to teach kindergartners inappropriate slang for male and female body parts. you know, words not allowed on prime time tv are just fine at lime street elementary we still don't know if newsom is running his mouth because he's running for president but his

unsolicited advice is not landing well in the south. the governor forgets he has zero opposition in california. it's a super-duper democratic majority but one texas democrat adviser pointed out that southern democrats don't always take kindly to blue state democrats who act like they're "bringing fire to cavemen." commonsense long watched as newsom fails to grasp the fine line between cheering and lecturing intended hip-hip hoorays are always just hip-hip-hypocrisy. critics are now blasting the biden administration for a series of major policy announcements just hours before the beginning of the holiday weekend. the white house correspondent kevin corke is live with a closer look at this so-called easter news dump. kevin, good evening. >> reporter: very wisely said, my friend. good evening to you. you know, friday is often referred to here as the nation's capital as dump day. that is to say they dump lots of

news on the press just as white house and congressional leaders all head for the exits for the coming weekend and that's especially true ahead of a holiday weekend which is why we always pay very close attention when we get there. of course, this all began yesterday with the long-awaited report on the afghanistan withdraw in which the biden white house lobbed tons of blame on the previous administration for that debacle without evidence. then hours later, the department of education rolled out brand-new title ix rules expanding the definition of sexual discrimination in an effort, they say, to prevent schools from banning transgender athletes. and not to be outdone, the biden irs published 150-page plan detailing how it would spend a staggering $45.6 billion on increased enforcement and tax audits of the american people. in the meantime as tensions with china heat up, in an exclusive interview with fox and taipei,

house foreign affairs chairman mika'il mccall of texas told fox that sending american men and women to fight over taiwan is, "not out of the question!" though when pressed, he quickly added such a move would require a conversation with the american people and it's always a last resort words that will certainly garner a few headlines in the days ahead, trace. >> trace: very scary words. kevin corke live for us in d.c. thank you. let's bring in the author of "the collapse of china." this is the foreign affairs committee chair mike mccall in taiwan. watch. >> being here, i think, sends a signal to the chinese communist party that the united states supports taiwan and we're going to harden taiwan and we want them to think twice about invading taiwan. >> yeah, invading. those are words we're not really quite sure if the united states would defend taiwan, but you say

not defending them, gordon, would be a catastrophe. explain that for us? >> after the fall of afghanistan, countries around the world look to america's actions on taiwan, so it's become the test of american credibility and resolve of whether we're going to protect our friends and allies. because of some biden policies that have shunned traditional american allies like saudi arabia, like morocco, i think that people are worried about american leadership, and so that's why taiwan now has become so critical. >> but would it not be a catastrophe defending taiwan? you're talking about all-out war! >> yes, and we could avoid that by being clear beforehand that we would defend taiwan by offering them a mutual defense treaty, by prepositioning supplies on the island, something we didn't do with ukraine, for instance and that's why there's a war now. the ukraine war could have been avoided.

a war over taiwan can be avoided as well, but mccall's warning is stark and reminds us that this is a real situation. unfortunately, the pentagon says don't worry about it, and that means beijing hears those words from for instance chairman of the joint chiefs of staff mark millly and realizes that maybe it can start a war without cost. >> can't help but draw the parallels, gordon, you look at the taiwan's president and what she's saying to me seems a lot like the pleas we heard from vladimir zelenskyy, right? she's asking for help, preemptive help in making this problem more secure. >> yes, and the chinese are looking at the situation in ukraine and the western response to russian aggression and then taking its measure about what it's going to do with regard to taiwan or japan or the philippines or india or maybe even take us on. so we can be taken by surprise by china. remember, they flew that big spy

balloon over our nuclear weapons sites. that shows utter disregard for the u.s. utter disrespect for us. >> trace: yeah. yeah. i got to go, gordon, but do you think china is considering an attack or planning an attack? 10 seconds. >> certainly planning an attack. they are preparing for war, mobilizing china's civilians and other things. this is a regime that intends to go to war. >> trace: i hope that is not the case. gordon chang, good insight as always. thank you, sir. >> thank you, trace. >> trace: coming up, so much for free speech on college campuses and the protesters aren't just shouting anymore. now, it's getting physical. a former ncaa swimming champion said she was ambushed and physically assaulted by trans activists about her speech about saving women's sports at san francisco state university. and later, the weekend is finally here but wellness experts say you should still wake up at the same time every single day, even your days off. would you agree or maybe you

just sleep in a little? even if it messes with your body clock? it's an interesting debate. let us know on twitter and instagram @tracegallagher. we'll show you the results and read the best responses in the night cap.

>> trace: well, first up in tonight's real news round-up, attorney general make garland's doj will appeal a decision by a federal judge in texas that put a hold on the f da's approval of an abortion drug. the judge said the pill was improperly approved 20 years ago. the order goes into effect next week. democrats, as you might imagine, not happy. >> the contents of this judge's ruling is frankly shocking and it should be appealing --

appalling to anyone who practices law, because it is so. insulting. it's pure conjecture. >> trace: in the meantime a separate ruling tonight, a washington state judge ordered a judge to continue to distribute the bl -- ordered to continue to distribute the drug. traffic deaths are up 18% from prepandemic levels of 2019. experts warn lack of enforcement and officers being hesitant to write tickets are contributing to the uptick. in seat, traffic tickets have plummeted 86% since 2019. a new tv show based on the musical "grease" has been blast as "woke" for adding a new intoning white supremacy with lyrics about racial exclusion. "grease, rise of the pink ladies" features a nonbinary character played by a transgender character and a student coping with an

inappropriate relationship with a teacher. the prequel series is now screaming. the u.s. air force will now allow recruits to carry more body fat. turns out finding fit new military members has become more of a challenge. males could have up to 26% body fat up from 20%. females can have you have to 36% body -- can have up to 36% body fat up from 28%. the air force still set to miss the active duty recruiting goal by 10% this year. the idea of school choice appears to be more popular than ever and gaining. let's bring in president emeritus of the compton school bboard and american federation for children's senior fellow. welcome to you both, gentlemen. i'm fascinated by what happened in north carolina. you have tricia, the lawmaker from north carolina who switched from being a democrat to a republican and she also said this. watch. >> on issues like school choice,

like charters, we have to evolve. one-size-fits-all in education is wrong for children. it might be ok for adults but i'm about children. >> so suddenly north carolina is a player, right? they're a bellwether for school choice. your thoughts? >> that's right! education reformers didn't have north carolina on their universal school choice bingo card this year but now north carolina might be the school choice dark horse of 2023 because of this move from tricia. now each chamber, the senate and the house, have g.o.p. 3/5 majorities that are required to override a veto that's expected from democratic governor roy cooper who opposes school choice, although he sent his own kid to private school so that's kind of odd. >> yeah, it really is. that's the whole thing. you look at different states like california, they're pushing further away from this but something could be, you know, happening to push the teachers

unions in a different direction. what do you think about this? >> so no one would debate the fact that parents have the right to select the various types of learning modalities that best meets the needs of their child but i have to simply add one point to the discussion and that is the point of oversight and accountability. the fact of the matter is this, if charter and/or voucher advocates want to be viable, they have to accept taxpayer money. you must accept the accountability that goes along with that. >> that's a fair assessment. it took a couple decades for friedman to get the ball rolling here. they've been pushing this for decades and now suddenly there's momentum and all of a sudden people are starting to mention milton friedman all over again. what do you think? >> the teachers unions overplayed their hand by pushing to keep the schools closed with the remote learning a lot of families got to see what was going on in the classroom some families who thought their kids were in great public schools started to push for change

because they want a school that's aligned with their own values. that's how they want to raise their own children. now, we've had six states in the past two years alone going all in on school choice allowing all families to take their kids' education dollars to the public, private or charter school of their choice. this is a change in support with the latest real clear opinion research poll finding 72% of americans supporting school choice with super majority support among republicans, democrats and independented. it shouldn't be a partisan issue. >> trace: i want to put this up on the screen if i can. this is dr. ben carson in a fox news op-ed citing a poll by the university of houston that shows a majority of texans including 54% of blacks and. [indiscernible] of latinos support free education. these numbers are as high as we've seen. there's clearly a ground for this kind a need. your thoughts? >> there is, indeed, a ground, however, we have to simply

realize one fact, the majority of america's children are in public school. we're simply going to leave the public schools to care for children with special needs and allow other students to go on or where there be equality? will we make certain we protect all of our public educational modalities because each and every one of them are vital to our country's success? >> trace: they're already leaving in droves in california, they've lost hundreds of thousands of public school students. it's happening in states in big blue states across country. parents are like, i'm out. i'm going private or i'm homeschooling but i'm out of public schools until they get their act together. your thoughts? >> right and there's an equality in the current system. the least advantage are stuck in the worst government-run schools and the most advantaged are the ones in the best position to pay out of pocket for private school tuition and fees or live in the neighborhoods that are assigned to the best "public schools." school choice allowing the funding to follow the child, giving the money directly to the families allows for more equality of opportunity to expand educational options to

the least advantage. i see this school choice as an equalizer and competition leads to better outcomes in the public schools. it's a rising tide that lifts all boats. >> trace: what are we missing? >> we're missing accountability and oversight. debate is not about charter, traditional and/or voucher. it's about oversight and accountability. we have to make certain we protect the taxpayer's trough. >> trace: thank you, gent gentlemen. coming up, a mob of trans activists in san francisco state university ambushed a former college athlete who said she had to barricade herself in a room for safety after her speech on protecting women's reitz. first, people around the world are getting ready to celebrate east we're all sorts of traditions and a driving lesson from a very unexpected instructor. the day's best viral videos coming up. ion feel darkest before dawn. with caplyta, there's a chance

-- fox news @ night on social media. trans rights activists protested a speaking engagement by women's sports advocate riley gaines who says she was physically assaulted while being escorted away from the demonstrators. let's bring in a firsthand witness to the chaos, talking points usa berkeley chapter president aiden white. aiden, it's great to have you on. i want to play some of this video because you were there. while we're playing the video, i want you to kind of describe -- you say it started out kind of cool and riley's speech was well received at first and then you had some outsiders break into the room and we'll show the video and kind of explain what happened. >> well, trace, um, it was quite the experience. definitely started out peaceful like you said but it kind of quickly involved into chaos, and chanting. the police for some reason let

in the crazy protesters. they went straight for riley and pinned her into the corner and tried to assault her. >> trace: it's amazing to me -- i want to play riley gaines because she was -- and i'm going to see if you had the same feeling -- she was actually frightened by this. i want to you listen to her and then we'll get your response. >> i mean, it was terrifying for me. the police did not inform me of any sort of action plan. i was punched. i was hit multiple times. i was shoved. the officers i can tell didn't feel comfortable putting them in a position that would mean they do their job which is a really scary, chilling thought. >> trace: yeah, i think she's got a fair point. does that match your experience in that area, aiden? >> i think riley is spot on there. she was very brave throughout the experience which is commendable but, yes, it was quite scary. of course, it's going to be terrifying to have a mob of people come down on you that are shouting at you and calling you

a bigot and calling you a transphobe, claiming you want them dead and acting with vengeance. >> trace: we've seen law professors being shouted down and others being shouted down at some of these liberal universities across the country but really this is one of the first times at least a while we've seen people go in with intent on doing maybe some harm. you do a lot of these things. does this kind of concern you a lot? >> absolutely! i'm actually the chapter president of the turning point usa chapter at uc berkeley. we don't see this a whole lot there, surprisingly. it's actually a pretty good space for free speech. i think in certain universities for whatever reason, we see this growing as a phenomenon and it's definitely a concerning trend. >> trace: what did you glean, what did the protesters want? clearly didn't want to see the other side of the story. what were they hoping for? >> that's for sure. your guess is as good as mine as

what they were hoping for by i think ultimately their intention was to intimidate free speech and to intimidate people who would come and share an idea that opposes their own. >> trace: aiden white, thank you for coming on. we appreciate your time. >> thank you. >> trace: in the meantime on this good friday, we would like to give you an easter sunday message and cover a little news at the same time. for that, let's bring in the pastor of the first baptist church of dallas, fox news contributor dr. robert jeffers. pastor, always great to have you on especially on a good friday a couple of days before easter. i just want to get the news out of the way first because karl rove wrote this op-ed in "wall street journal" and it was about the indictment of former president trump and he says whether mr. trump's indictment helps him win the nomination is an open question but his 2024 general election chances are now much slimmer. hush money for porn stars isn't a winning issue. will evangelicals hold that

against him, pastor? >> no. and i'll tell you why. in 1980, i voted for the first divorced president in history, his name was ronald reagan and i voted for him not because i support divorce but i supported his policies. it's the same with trump and evangelicals. they don't approve everything in his past. heck, i don't approve anything in my past. they voted for him because of his policies. he's the most pro-life, pro-israel president in history. that's why they voted for him by 80% in 2016 and in 2020 and i think he'll continue their support. >> yeah, i want to move on now to easter. some call easter the super bowl sunday of church services if you're a pastor. i wonder if you feel that way, if you work extra hard to get a message in. what's the message you would like to share with us, pastor? >> well, easter is the most important holiday on the christian calendar. and i'll tell you why, because it offers the only hope we have

ultimately in this world. in a fox op-ed i have coming up sunday, i tell the hardest thing i ever had to do as a pastor was going to the home of a couple who had been killed in an accident and tell their two little girls that their parents were dead. i mean, what do you say to kids like that? the only assurance i could give them was the best assurance they would see their parents again because of the resurrection and that's what the resurrection means it means jesus conquered our greatest enemy, death. jesus said truly i say to you, everyone who beholds the son of god and believes in him has eternal life and i, myself, will raise him up on the last day. that's the hope of easter. >> trace: it's a great message. happy easter to you and yours. we'll see you soon. thank you for coming on. >> thanks for having me, trace. >> trace: coming up, do you think it's better to wake up at the same time every day? even on weekends? your days off? holidays? or maybe do you get a little
