line. saying if china invades taiwan, u.s. troops could be deployed to defend the island. we have fox team coverage of the rising tensions as well as the biden's administration's response. and aishah hasnie and lucas tomlinson. >> taiwan launched fighters jets and simulated, and perhaps the most ever. earlier mark esper says that chinese' ambitions go well beyond taiwan. they're global. >> they have made clear that by 2035 they want to have a modern military and their goal is to move beyond the indo-pacific and project power around the world. we should be concerned about that. >> here at the white house, john kirby tried to calm down tensions. >> communication with china

remain open, we have communicated to china privately, we've certainly done it publicly here with you all, there's no reason for them to overreact to this transit. it's not uncommon for these transits. they're private, unofficial, we'll urge them not to overact. >> it was the hasty withdrawal from afghanistan, after the white house released the summary report largely blaming the trump administration. they say that 19,000 afghans are waiting for visas to come to the united states and many in refugee camps, some after helping the u.s. military for years. some democratic lawmakers, including a marine combat veterans are joining republicans in saying part of the chaotic withdrawal comes with the current commander-in-chief. >> it's not enough to blame the previous administration, this is the commander-in-chief and responsible for what his administration does and clearly

they did not start this evacuation soon enough. >> and something the 12-page report says the evacuation started soon enough. not mentioning, biden's commanders did not want to pull all troops from afghanistan. molly: lucas tomlinson from the white house. griff: just after house speaker kevin mccarthy met with taiwan's president china kicked off military exercises in the area. this as a bipartisan group of lawmakers visited the island amid increasing threats from china. we find aishah hasnie live in taipei with the latest. >> hey there, griff. people here in taipei are eating, drinking, shopping, really completely unfazed by what is happening just less than 100 miles away from this island. they have become all too familiar with china flexing its military muscle, only this time, griff, it's on a whole different level. and we have brand new video

coming in of china launching military drills across the taiwan strait. go ahead and take a look at this, a stunning 71 chinese army jets and nine navy ships have entered the taiwan straight as china's people's liberation army launches three days of military drills, about 45 of these jets, griff, are crossing the median line and going into taiwan's self-declared air defense identification zone. it's happening, presumably in response to a meeting with the president and house speaker mccarthy and the delegation visiting taipei. and house speaker reacting to it all before he left. these intimidation tactics and saber rattling, in my judgment, only firm up our resolve

against the chinese communist party. it has no deterrent effect on us. in fact, i think it galvanizes the united states' support for ta taiwan. >> now, mccall says the goal of this trip is to rally ally support. we're talking south korea, japan, to try to deter chinese invasion, but if it were to happen, griff, sending troops is not out of the question. telling me that it's very critical in this moment that americans back home support taiwan because the island manufactures 90% of the world's advanced chips. we use those for just about everything and if that were disrupted, it would send global economies into a tailspin. now, right before those lawmakers headed back to capitol hill, they told me their number one priority,the first thing they want to get done when they get back to congress is that they want to expedite those weapons sales to taiwan. taiwan already buying those

weapons, just hit a backlog, we haven't been able to deliver them in about three years so they want to work on that first. griff. griff: outstanding reporting all this week, aishah. please stay safe. aishah hasnie from taipei, molly. molly: for more on this, we're joined by republican congresswoman from iowa and a member of the house appropriations committee and serves on the select committee on china. thank you for joining us and giving us time on easter weekend. we heard this brilliant reporting from aishah hasnie there on the ground in taiwan and you also met with the president when she came here to the united states, and now, we're seeing this rather dramatic response from china. they had threatened you prior to the meeting, sending you these e-mails and you went to the meeting jean way and u.s. officials showing solidarity with taiwan, but now this response from china is fairly significant, the most potentially significant show of

force in this kind of war game fashion that we've seen in quite some time. your reaction to chinese, to the chinese response. do you think it's at all proportional and do you have any particular concerns about it? >> well, first and foremost, i won't be bullied and i won't be deterred from meeting with who we need to be meeting with and where we need to be meeting with. china cannot dictate that to any u.s. lawmaker and i want to be very, very clear about that. but what a pivotal meeting it was in a pivotal place for us to sit down at the reagan library, we know what president reagan stood for and that was peace through strength. it's very clear that we ded the message to china and the communist party which is that we'll continue to stand with our allies, our freedom-loving allies around the world and don't mess with the united states and don't mess with taiwan and president xi has shown he's a bully, you know what bullies respond to? they respond to strength and that's what the united states is showing in a bipartisan

fashion, we're not doing this as democrats or republicans, but truly as americans. molly: as i noted, this chinese response isn't necessarily seen as proportional by many u.s. officials, rather, huge show of force, but right now, the very end of aishah's report she pointed out that we're trying to get u.s. weapons that have already been promised there onto the island. your thoughts about how prepared the taiwanese military is and how prepared is the united states to potential had i send troops this? >> look, let's be clear here. we want to politic make sure that we're deterring conflict. our focus is on strength. we're doing everything we can to ensure that taiwan can continue to defend itself. i agree we need to ramp up our production of the weapons and the taiwan people to do it themselves. we've had conversations with president sy to make sure that we're delivering on our commitment what they need to

defend themselvesment it comes to the united states being a leader in continues of continuing to develop relationships in the indo-pacific region. trade, manufacturing, technology, making sure that china doesn't get the upper hand is the best way to deter them. we're going to be focused on policies again from our committee, select committee from the competition with the chinese communities past making sure the next century is an american one, not a chinese one. molly: and taiwan not just a diplomatic partner or securing around the world, but a trading partner. what are the steps the united states can take beyond helping them harden their defenses? . well, again, when it comes to trade, iowa is of course is great trading partner with taiwan and recently signed a deal last fall. taiwan is going to be purchasing billions worth of our corn and soy beans. that's a message we need to take throughout the indo-pacific region.

vietnam, the indonesian countries, making sure we're focused on india and creating new partnerships there, what we can do through the relationships is give these countries more economic opportunity as well. we need to focus on our relationship with japan as well and korea. so there are had a lot of places where we, as a global leader, can make sure that we're exercising through peace through strength and relationships. that's our focus, asking for that from the biden administration. i think the biden administration doctrine of appeasement. it's time we move beyond that, a place where we're exhibiting that strength and we need that leadership and i'm hopeful that we'll be able to do that in a bipartisan way moving forward. molly: before i let you go. this report dropped thursday before the holiday regarding the exit from afghanistan. and the biden administration was very critical of the former administration, the trump administration, setting a lot of blame in that direction. your thoughts on this released report? >> well, no matter how the

biden administration tries to spin it, the exit from afghanistan was a chaotic digs functional exit and president biden was the commander-in-chief when that happened. we lost 13 american lives as a result of that. a marine from the great state of iowa. the taliban has taken over press oppressing women and girls. when you look alt at the chaos those left, questions need to be answered and biden administration should look at a doctrine of strength rather than appeasement all over the world. it weakened us on the global stage and i think it's high time we change the way we're addressing issues around the world. molly: representative ashley hinson, appreciate your insights and wish you a happy easter weekend. >> happy easter to you, too, thanks, molly. molly: griff. griff: joining us from the other side of the oil, joining us on set. democratic congresswoman from michigan and member of the house energy and commerce

committee debbie dingell and serves on the house natural resources committee. congresswoman thank you for being here, happy easter to you. i want your take on the afghanistan report, but let's start with what we're seeing the chinese military essentially in assimilated attack on the island, is what it amounts to, 71 jets. what's your reaction? >> look, i'm concerned by what we are seeing, i would disagree with my colleague on one issue, i don't believe that president biden has a policy of appeasement. i believe we need to be bipartisan this time on the world stage with so many issues that are happening. i believe -- both the delegation that met with the president of taiwan in california, and with mccaul and we must be bipartisan. it's appropriate for that to happen and we have real, mutual economic and security issues that need to be discussed. what i don't want to see is this escalate into another

confrontation or into a war kind of situation. i do believe in peace, as my colleague did say, i don't think that people -- i've been-- my stomach has been upsidedown as we've begun to hear of potential blockades of the straits of taiwan because of our dependence on taiwan for many things. many know i was with the auto industry for a long time and when-- i'm not that old, i'm seasoned. when i started in the auto industry, more than 40% of the chips were made this this country and now down to less than 12%. griff: that's a problem. >> that's a problem. we need to bring-- >> let me ask you, mentioned speaker mccarthy's meeting with taiwan's president. should mccarthy have gone to taiwan and led. >> speaker pelosi chose to go there. and the message was same she was in the country and the

message was sent and the delegation was a bipartisan delegation and mccaul's delegation was bipartisan delegation. i think the message was sent that taiwan is a partner to the united states. griff: you mentioned president biden and appeasement, but let's talk about the at least three incidences i can count that i recall when president biden really went further in his commitment to defend taiwan and of course, we had that strategic ambiguity policy, but the white house then walked back comments. so what is our policy? >> i think we all understand the strategic importance of taiwan to this country. we also understand and defend democracies around the world. china is a world power. i want to see us in a very strength detente position with russia and china. we've got to keep safe. and driving much of our economic security these days.

the russia, china discussions we're seeing and i think we have to be careful not to make inflammatory statements that in any way put kerosene on fires and i also believe this is a time, this congress must be bipartisan in sending messages abroad. griff: and you talk about russia and the other threats we're facing and much of this afghanistan report, the administration says that because of the withdrawal, in terms of resources and military assets puts us on a stronger footing. but the bulk of this report, they blame the prior administration, the trump administration for the disastrous withdrawal. so i ask you, how much blame does president biden, the commander-in-chief, during that withdrawal, how much blame does he own for the sdisaster? >> look, i think that was one of the saddest moments of this administration, as long as they've been there, but i do

believe that-- i have not seen the classified report. i have not read it. i want to. i want to see what is said in there. the policy to begin withdrawal was begun under president trump, both presidents thought that that was what we needed to do. i don't think anybody can feel good about what they saw that day, as a woman whose worked hard to help afghan women and who watched them become freer and to be able to go to school and have independence, what the taliban is doing to women is just absolutely deplorable and horrific to me. so, you know, we have to make a lot of tough decisions, there are a lot-- >> congressman does the buck stop with biden on this disaster? >> i believe the way that it happened and the 13 soldiers lives were lost was one of the saddest moments for me of his administration. he was the commander-in-chief then, but let's be really clear, that policy did begin under previous administration, instead of pointing fingers, which i don't want to do, i

want to say what are we going to do to keep ourselves strong. what do we need to be doing. i think there's too much division, too much finger pointing, this person, that person. we're not -- there's a famous center from michigan who after world war ii said politics needs to stop at the ocean's edge. that's my philosophy? we've come a long way from that. >> yes, we have. griff: and congresswoman debbie dingell. please come back and have a happy easter. >> i will. happy easter. griff: molly. molly: a pair of conflicting court rules putting the future of abortion pill. a judge in texas putting a halt on the drug and minutes later, a judge in washington state, ruling that the f.d.a. not make any changes that would restrict access to the drug in 17 states and d.c. that sued in an effort to expand access. the texas judge gave the government seven days to appeal the ruling, which the f.d.a. has already done, so access

will remain unchanged for now. griff: all eyes on the tennessee house of representatives with the g.o.p.-led general assembly ousting out two representatives thursday for participating in protest and the move drawing the attention of vice-president kamala harris who met with the expelled reps yesterday. charles watson is live in nashville with the latest. hey, charles. >> yeah, hey, good afternoon, griff. vice-president harris called for background checks and red flag laws during her visit to nashville and expressed her support for the three tennessee lawmakers were at the center of expulsion proceedings in the tennessee state house. listen. >> it was about who they were representing, it was about whose voices they were channelling. understand that. and is that not what a democracy allows? [applause] >> a democracy says you don't

silence the people, you do not stifle the people, you don't turn off their microphones when they are speaking about the importance of life and liberty. that is not what a democracy d does. >> president biden also met with the trio of democrats via video call. he thanked them for their leadership and courage to force action on gun reform in the wake of the nashville shooting, where a gunman killed six people including three children. the tragedy led to multiple protests at the tennessee state capitol, including this one on the floor of the state house led by representatives justin jones, justin pearson and gloria johnson. and they said they were out of hand. and they voted to expel johnson and pearson who are both black.

>> i think it's important to understand our tlur body works, it works with order and rules, you take order and rules out, it doesn't work. >> and republicans narrowly failed to expel johnson, a white woman who says she played a lesser role in the protest and fomenting accusations of racism, claims that republicans deny. under tennessee state law, the two democrats who were expelled are able to run for reelection so the people will have the last word on this one. griff: as they should. charles watson live in nashville. thank you. molly. molly: a ukrainian woman captured by russians is now back in her home country. her emotional story up next. i count on personalized financial advice from my ameriprise advisor. she knows my goals and can help me

>> over 400 days since russia's invasion of ukraine and many ukrainians still remain in russian captivity. fox news senior correspondent mike tobin has the story of victoria, a ukrainian teacher

who spent months in prison. >> early in the invasion, we reported how locals were giving up locations of russian troops en route to the capital city. it seemed that the civilians were reporting the troop locations at great personal risk, because they were. here is one of their stories. >> when the russian invasion came through the north of ukraine, victoria, a school teacher, was in a town, like many ukrainians and accurately reported the locations of the russians troops and army to the ukrainian army. and then russians showed up at her house. >> and on the same day they took me away with the words, you're coming with us. she was taken ultimately to a russian detention center and treated like a spy and interrogations started. >> they knocked me to the floor

and beat me with feet and rubber batons, and a stun gun. >> she says they humiliated her, forced her to sing the russian anthem, she was threatened with rape, burning and humiliation. >> they accused me of killing their brothers, and that i hate all russians. >> and victoria had no knowledge of the outside world and prisoner swap negotiations. she was driven to belarus, dropped off and welcomed by fellow ukrainians. and now, she's back to teaching school. >> would you do it again? >> i have already talked and thought about it many times and i realized that i would probably do it again, but this time, i would be more careful. >> returning to normal life, victoria says she doesn't hate russian people or captors, she thinks they're just people who have been given bad

information. molly. molly: my goodness, such bravery and to say she would do it all over again. mike tobin, remarkable reporting, thank you for your continued reporting on the ground from kyiv, ukraine today. griff: and the wall street journal reporter is charged with espionage, marking the first time that an american journalist has been detained in russia since the end of the cold war. ryan is based in moscow more than a decade joining us with the latest, hey, ryan. >> yeah, griff, well, those charges, those formal charges specifically that he was conducting espionage as the russians allege in favor of the united states, certainly won't come as a surprise to anyone. pretty much everyone expected when he was detained 10 days ago that he would be formally charged and in fact, in time,

convicted because these trials are almost always conducted in secret behind closed doors and almost always end in conviction. the wall street journal. a statement says they've seen the media reports investigating that evan has been charged and as we've said from the beginning, these charges are categorically false and unjustified and we continue to demand evan's immediate release. lawyers from the journal for whom he was working were able to see him tuesday and reported that he's in good health, that's the first time his lawyers were given access to him at a notorious moscow prison where another american convicted of espionage is being held. earlier in the week, a russian state prison monitor says he's held in a quarantine cell. he's next expected to appear in court 10 days from now and that's likely when we'll see him next, when the court will hear an appeal for him.

the most likely way to resolve is through a prisoner swap, something that's complicated here. he's been charged with espionage and generally speaking russia will be looking for a russian in u.s. custody convicted of something similar or tantamount to that. and some have been charged with cyber crimes, something that they would not see as a fair trade. both the senate majority leader and the senate minority leader have come together and condemned the arrest and called for his immediate release, not every day you see politicians coming from both sides of the aisle coming together to demand something. so, clearly, political pressure here mounting. griff: it's a good thing they both are on the same side of that one. ron, thank you very much. molly. molly: the f.d.a. signing off on narcan being sold over-the-counter. we'll get a closer look at the push to make the life saving

drug available in schools next. i got tai last december. i've spent almost every minute with her since. when i first brought her home, she was eating little brown pieces in a bag and it was just what kind of came recommended. i just always thought, “dog food is dog food” i didn't really piece together that dogs eat food. as soon as we brought the farmer's dog in, her skin was better, she was more active, high-quality poops. if i can invest in her health and be proactive, i think it's worth it. see the benefits of fresh food at betterforthem.com

and to see bridget's before and after photos. >> narcan, the life saving drug that can reverse the effects of an opioid overdose, now set to be available over-the-counter following f.d.a. approval. for more on this, we're joined by a member of the american association of nurse practitioners and the founder of the recovery mobile clinic, thank you for joining me on this easter weekend, jordana. we have essentially good news for folks across the country. if you can talk to me about this, you're in the thick of it with this mobile clinic taking the help right to people that have the addiction. what does this change from the f.d.a. mean for people with addiction problems? >> the biggest part of making narcan over-the-counter is the fact that we're increasing

access to life-saving medications so everybody, no matter what their age, no matter what their background can have access to stock medicine that can save their life or somebody they love or somebody that's close to them and have it rapidly available. molly: one of the things i've seen, this is now available in a nasal spray and theoretically easy to administer. where can they get the drugs? >> it's important to have them everywhere. and we are happening with the changes in the f.d.a. rules, that we'll be able to see them in convenience stores, shopping markets, mass box stores everywhere. honestly, they need to be anywhere people congregate, churches, schools, community centers, hospitals, doctors' offices and they need to be rapidly accessible in any situation. molly: what do you say to critics that are concerned that the easy access to narcan might

encourage for people to get it and be more risky in their behaviors with drug use. >> i'm glad you asked that question. people suffering from addiction are often kind of exhibiting the symptom of a larger problem. usually mental health. so when i hear people say that it's kind of disheartening. it feeds into the stigma around addiction. what we need to understand is that people aren't living in a bubble. we aren't performing actions that only affect us alone. so when we're talking about people who are at risk for overdose, we're talking about our children, our parents, our brothers, our sisters, our cousins, our co-workers. so we need to have a little bit more empathy here about the struggles that the people are facing. we don't know what's going on in their personal lives and how they got there. the biggest part of increasing access is giving them the chance to survive the incidents so that they can learn from it and hopefully turn their lives

around. that's why the access is so important. >> we don't have too much time left. how can people help in this effort in your world? >> you know, don't be scared of it. narcan is actually an easy to use medication that doesn't have side effects. you're not going to hurt somebody by providing it. you will potentially allow them to overdose if we refuse to act. that's the stigma that we have to break and that the recovery mobile clinic, we try to increase this education everywhere to everyone so that comfort levels start to become universal so everyone is able to use that medicine. molly: that's a great point. jordana, thank you for joining us, and have a wonderful easter and we appreciate it. griff. griff: with title 42 set to expire next month, border towns and cvp officials alike are

bracing for a possible surge of migrants attempting to cross into the u.s. let's head to eagle pass, texas where we find matt finn live with the latest on the crisis. hey, matt. >> hi, griff. over the past week in eagle pass, we have not seen the consistent larger groups crossing into the united states. believe it or not, we're told that perhaps holy week is being honored. cross the southern border, agents are catching the got-aways of smaller groups, including in arizona, in the yuma sector. they say that they're covering with tan sheets in an effort to blend into the desert after illegally crossing the desert this week and fort brown, texas, agents seized 140 pounds of marijuana in the rio grande valley which border patrol says has seen the largest seizure of marijuana, more than 11,000 recovered and texas dps seizing more than 1.3 million doses of

fentanyl in a single bus. a traffic stop. and the one pill kills campaign, informing texans and also the doses of narcan to every county in texas. >> last year 2,012 texans lost their lives because of fentanyl. when you think about it, that is on average more than five people in texas losing their life every day because of fentanyl. >> and the foreign -- the governor reiterated a single packet of sugar, could kill 500 people. griff: matt fin, thank you very much. molly. molly: two boys ages 12 and 16 are under arrest in connection with the murders of three

dying at a construction site. the sheriff ace the attackers drove off in her white chevy and some pointless than a mile away discarded the body of a 17-year-old male victim shot and killed. and then on saturday, detectives found the chevy partially submerged in a lake about nine miles away with the body of a third victim in the trunk, 16-year-old camille quarrels. the two juveniles in custody so far confessed to killing the third victim according to the sheriff. as for what led up to this, the sheriff says the suspects turned on the victims. state prosecutors are reviewing whether they'll try the three juveniles as adults. the sheriff said this morning if they aren't, it will send the wrong message. listen. >> we're sending a clear message to individuals like this that there is no accountability and unfortunately, and it breaks my heart, it's a 12-year-old involved as well. his life is over.

43-year-old cash app founding begging for help after he was stabbed multiple times in the chest. the security video of this disturbing incident was obtained by the daily mail. the san francisco standard reports lee called 911 on his cell phone and screamed "help, someone stabbed me", officers arrived minutes later and found lee unconscious. no arrests have been made in this case and police have not said whether this attack was targeted or random. a day later, former fire commissioner was brutally beaten with a metal pipe in san francisco's marina district at night. the 53-year-old victim suffered a broken jaw and fractured skull. fortunately, he's expected to survive. a suspect was arrested, but so far, no word on a motive in this case either. now, these back-to-back brutal attacks are further fueling debates over how to handle

divided world. for more on this, father steve bruno is the ceo of world on fire and we'll talk about it in a second. thank you for joining us. we live in such divided times. our politics are divided and our news cycle is depressing. what is your easter message and how can people move past that? >> my easter message for everyone is that everyone in light of what jesus christ has done for us has a wonderful second chance. you know, yesterday christians around the world marked the death and suffering of christ and the story we heard was of cruelty, cruelty against an innocent man, but also directed against god and the proper response to this, a story of cruelty in a worldly sense, should have been a lot of anger and a lot of wrath, but that's not what jesus did and that's not what god did. what god did, he poured himself out in love and forgiveness and

gave the world and each one of us, a second chance. and that's a lesson for us that we can face the kind of life in a world which is full of cruelty and indifference and pain with this understanding that we make that world better when we forgive one another, when we love one another and open to a second, third, and even fourth chance. griff: such an important, important message, father. i want to show you a poll done last front by the wall street journal, struck me. it compared how many americans believed that religion was important to them personally. 25 years ago 62%, today, just 39%. how do we reverse that? >> i think that we reverse that by living out the religious values that manifest to people, that love and forgiveness are the centerpiece of our

religion. griff: and, father, the true meaning, the easter meaning. today of course is holy saturday and we go into tomorrow. what do you think for those that are among the folks that don't believe religion is important, what should touch their heart tomorrow? >> what should touch all of our hearts is that violence, when it is met with forgiveness, can take a negative situation and turn it into something positive and creative. that's what we see in the witness of jesus himself. griff: and just before we run out of time, word on fire, you specifically and bishop barron played a significant role in my life. six years ago i converted to catholocism and never regretted it for a moment. talk in second, what does word on fire do to reach those on social media and word and daily messages like bishop barrons

who i read every morning. >> word on fire to proclaim christ in the culture and do all forms of media to do that and we want to extend to people to know who jesus christ is, and how he changes lives and invite people to share life with christ in the church. griff: father steve grunow, word on fire, check it out. thank you for that message and uplifting sense in our lives. father, happy easter. >> happy easter to you and to the whole audience. griff: thank you, sir, molly. molly: the biden administration placing blame on trump for the chaotic withdrawal from afghanistan following a release of a report from the white house. we'll have more at the top of the hour. has your number with 30 grams of protein. scientifically designed with carbsteady to help you manage your blood sugar. and more protein to keep you moving with diabetes. glucerna live every moment
