safety concern. we are monitoring this developing story and keep you updated as we learn more. breaking tonight, in austin texas, governor greg abbott says is working swiftly pardon army sgt. convicted of murder during the 2020 black lives matter right. hey shooting police originally deemed self-defense but a liberal prosecutor decided to pursue the case anyway. even after the lead detective accused him of withholding evidence and witness tampering. now the fate of the sgt. mcdaniel sits in the hands of texas border pardon pearls. joining me now exclusively to break down the case, who today governor dan patrick. thank you for joining me on this story. when you have a lead detective accusing the prosecutor of witness tampering, i don't understand what's going on when you have a da who typically is not tough on crime, all of a

sudden going after this guy, what can you tell us? >> the da like a lot of the das around the country in big blue cities seem to let criminals go free and go after this innocent. in this for some reason because of the preplanned trip governor abbott, i totally support him, i will pardon him as well. this is the story from the lead detective, considered the best detective in the city of austin. he says he had 158 slide presentation in his affidavit and the da made him remove all the exculpatory slides from the presentation taking 98100 slides out of his presentation. he says the evidence he believed would present to the grand jury would possibly have led to them not indicting him and he goes on to say this is stunning for a

long-term veteran to say this. he says this is not only unethical behavior by the da on the it borders on criminal conduct of tampering with a witness he considers himself under the code. >> i'm curious, what is the process for people don't know our process, we give this power to this board and eventually they present recommendation to the government, what happens here? >> in the same cases with the death penalty case for execution and i have this, some of those of the governor was out-of-state the board can make decisions on a number of issues and once they render their decision the governor can pardon someone and i think the governor is right and what he's doing, this was an

army sgt. driving into work in downtown austin and at the time george floyd riots were going back three years, july of 2020 has i recall. this army sgt. was surrounded by protesters, striving for uber and allegedly -- not allegedly, we know karen foster and his tragic he lost his life caring in a kyiv 47 he pointed it through the windshield or side window right at sgt. perry. perry lifted his 37 and fired five times and shot him. we have strong stand your ground loss, the document in texas which expands to if you are in your automobile or anywhere, if someone points a rifle at you, and ak-47, you have a split second to respond. he fired five times. anyone whose handled a handgun knowns you can fire five times

quickly in a second or two and you don't sit there and make a decision, is he going to shoot me or not? in the moment you could already be dead so if anyone points any rifle, any gun at you, through your car window, you have a right to self-defense and that's what most of us believe was correct. what happened is it's one thing to have law and order breakdown in our streets but law and order break down the justice system, he should never have been charged with murder, the detective said was evidence that would probably not have had him indicted, the detective argued over this but when you have the justice system breakdown at the da level and court level, when a country -- on the justice -- that's the beginning of the end of the country. >> that's the real issue, something has to be done. i will follow lieutenant governor, thank you for coming for this breaking news.

now to san francisco city in chaos, we've talked about it week after week about the crisis there, homelessness as well as crime out of control and this week the murder of a cash app founder bob lee brought the issue back into the headlines but is this disturbing video of the suspect that got my attention shiny a harsh light on a once magnificent city. peter correspondent has the details on these cases. >> good evening, san francisco is the city on edge after two high-profile attacks and parts of san francisco, considered relatively safe and six days later, still no arrests, no suspect or motive identified in the brutal murder of bob lee. the prominent tech executive was stabbed twice in the chest tuesday morning blocks from the waterfront, an area with luxury high-rises, a hub with upscale

markets and kat face but at night the area is virtually empty and heartbreaking surveillance footage obtained by the daily mail shows him bleeding and stumbling along the sidewalk trying to flag down a doorman or driver for help. he managed to use his cell phone to call 911 but he lost too much blood. six minutes after the call police found him unconscious on the sidewalk and he later died at the hospital. thursday lee's friends launched the petition to seek justice for bob lee and make san francisco safe again. the petition called on city leaders to take stronger action against violent offenders and improve public safety. less than 24 hours after he was attacked, former fire department commissioner was brutally beaten with a metal pipe outside his mother's home in the marina district, another nice neighborhood. don suffered a fractured school him a broken jaw in multiple cuts to his face after being ambushed by several people, one of whom you see here was

arrested, 24-year-old suspect garrett dottie who have long criminal history. back to back attacks further feeling debate over how to handle rampant homelessness, drug use and crime in this progressive city following defendant police movement. >> we are short 500 police officers and not able to hire enough replacements. you 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 defined and disbanded. >> fortunately is expected to survive but still no further details in the investigation into bob lee's murder. >> creative genius after leaving the state and visit. crazy. thank you so much for joining me now, chairman of the san

francisco republican party, former candidate for san francisco da and former police officer, joe, thank you for joining the program. the mayor is calling for the national guard to come in. what about setting the climate of lawlessness and when the experiment doesn't work, called because to bail you out. >> what's interesting is the mayor is not the chief law enforcement officer of the city, is the district attorney and what they are realizing is they are hand-picked, she's in overhead and looking for someone as you alluded to, to be the scapegoat for what's become a city of here lawlessness. >> do you see us getting some sort of alternative san francisco? for the people who watch the show, they wonder why they keep

picking leadership in san francisco. >> we have an interesting political scene here and nothing can change, one of the accomplices to the man who attacked him is on the street tonight right outside his home. >> how? >> all the bluster -- well, the judgment wheel but the pipe is still in custody but the accomplice is out there right now so all their talk, i think this political generation, i don't know if joe will agree, it seems like this generation wants to run the city but they don't want to enforce the rules, they don't want to be the tough guys we have to make difficult decisions. this is not that complicated a problem. san francisco is just become a regional hub for people who want to live the drug addicted lifestyle industries and we keep

providing incentives to make them come here to induce them and come to san francisco and behave this way. that i think is the root of the problem. >> you got people leading the state coming to texas, coming to florida, you got businesses leaving the state, what is going to be the breaking points? if your economics collapse, your population goes to other states, i don't know what more -- if you have creative geniuses, it used to be average folks, now you've got rich folks targeted so it's not isolated. >> let's not forget your pelosi's husband a few months ago was targeted and in regards to bob lee, he will hear in the news predict soon the mayor will chief of police, public information officer to come out and say bob lee was targeted because they don't want people in san francisco to feel this could happen when in fact that is the case. the city has become a psych ward of unstable and drug-induced

individuals and you are right, people are leaving san francisco but you know who's coming in? evil like the individual struck commissioner, he was from new orleans so these people come to san francisco because they know the services were here and they know they can sleep freely on the streets and police officers have their hands tied behind their back. they can't do their jobs, they are just waiting to retire and we have another round of large number of police officers retiring in june and nobody applying to be a police officer here in san francisco so we are in a scenario here in san francisco and it is a shame elected leaders are out of touch with san franciscans who don't have a security detail. >> it's not just the crime, it is the human feces all across -- i couldn't even walk my dog there. it's disgusting. i can't imagine living there. thank you for joining the program. next, breaking news out of houston, texas, or dribbles

shooting plus alvin bragg wanted nypd on high alert for the indictment of donald trump but what was the concern when crime consumed the city? the new york's finest response next. ♪

fox news alert out of northeast houston, county sheriff dave gonzales says of these four people have been shot. at least two are teenagers, the shooting happened during a celebration of life. we are told all four victims have been taken to the hospital, no other details have been released. this comes as we await word for three people were shot in the state's largest shopping mall. officials evacuated the mall after reports of shots fired at the food court. three victims are being treated at the hospital, their conditions are still unknown. now this political fallout continuing around indictment of former president donald trump, ex-president pleaded not guilty to 34 felony criminal charges falsifying since records in manhattan tuesday. more questions have been raised since the indictment was unsealed and charges became public due to the fact that

falsifying business records often is treated as a misdemeanor not a felony so we asked the people of new york for their thoughts on the whole ordeal. >> you see this and other countries, they tried to do everything they can to discharge credibility. >> i hope it works because i feel he slides by without getting in trouble. >> his behavior is awful. if you behave like that there are consequences your behavior. >> it's total nonsense, both sides are getting themselves into more trouble than they can possibly imagine. it's not good for anybody. >> i think is a criminal and cook, he should go to jail. >> the charges trumped up, they tried to arrest him five times and beats every time. >> his indictment is politically motivated, it is ridiculous.

a double standard in this country. >> i'm sure politics played a role but there is never not political motivation no matter how much anybody tries to be above it all. eventually your emotions,. >> i watch the news. >> it looks good. former nypd officer will as well as former nypd tenant john macri. thank you so much for joining the program. i don't understand the da requesting for more cops to be on the street. we are in the middle of a crime crisis every time i come to the city. i see the crime out here, i did the reporting on it so what is he considered about crime? >> obviously not concerned about crime or public safety or businesses, he's letting violent repeat offenders walk or new york city street. he did that for his first year

in office in 2022, he continues to do that in 2023. the site the reason putting these people back out on the street without prosecuting them is he cites that staffing issues, we don't have staff yet takes the weight of his office to look at a man and investigate him for over a year end charge him with most say is not even a crime on both sides. total miscarriage of justice, he's upending our justice sy system. >> what is the morale like an nypd? i talked to the ones who can, they are ready to retire and the others are just staying as long as they can because they have to provide for their families. >> thank you for having me. your finger is on the pulse of us and i thank you for showcasing it because what we have amongst cops on the street to super chiefs retired and current, they see the city being handed over to the bad guys. where you have the da with revolving door justice looking

to lock up a cop for locking up the bad guy because optically it may look bad for him, the city is sinking into to do to the politicians and due to da bragg. the hypocrisy is running rampant. >> i'm curious if the da cares -- does he care about the cop that was shot in queens? and other public did. i saw them bring in towels to try to save the cup. does he care about the cops under attack? >> the da like all the politicians, they honor cops when they are injured and in depth but they don't honor the work men and women in new york city are doing in real life, that is the major problem i see in the city. >> i know you are retired but how does this and? what is the endgame? how that is going to get to new york before we can turn things around? >> people need to wake up and understand these politicians are

claiming they are doing it for the minority people, for the black and brown folks. guess what -- the biggest victims of the crimes black and brown and you and i, we speak out like this, they will call us the racist for talking about math and facts. he needs to stop and you are showing the light for the pu public. >> i don't care what they say, they have to sit with these parents grieving and having to plan euros with them. i've done too many interviews, they can say what they want. thank you for your service. i will bring in joe concha and kevin walling. thank you for joining the program. even liberals turning saying this is politics, i don't see how this goes anyway. why put all your eggs in this? i see the people who value rule of law and understand where it goes, they are not too heavy.

>> i'm not celebrating because all, i want to see the process play out in the idea no one is above the law to continue in this country but are not celebrating, i'm calling from democrats to not celebrate the indictment, we want to see the process play out in the evidence and we want the process to move forward but anyone celebrating, it's a disaster for this country whether you are democrat or republican because we don't want to see violence in the streets, we don't want to see protests in the streets that turned violent and i want to see the process move forward in georgia and with a special prosecutor along with the documents case and i think this is most independent analysis said, this is the weakest of these three cases moving against the former president. >> i know you are genuine when you say no one is above the law but the da says the same thing yet i see it all the time in the city where other people

apparently that have guns, they push people in subways, they are above the law. >> precisely. we've seen this da, he takes felonies and turns them into misdemeanors and takes misdemeanors and turns it into ability but the trump indictment changes 2024. for starters donald trump's numbers for recent fox news pool went from rhonda's head is down 15 points closing in march 2 donald trump 30 points. he's doubled his lead early april. this indictment was the former president front and center for weeks now. it's becoming a rerun of 2016, trump gets the attention, all the coverage, good, bad and ugly while competitors on the gop side barely get any attention, ask nikki haley. brady being ignored on the brady bunch and complaining in his cage, it's about donald trump, getting the attention so the matter between joe biden's who

will likely announce he's probably running later this year end trump will not be a referendum on the current president. joe biden pulling vastly on the issues in this country, inflation, the economy, crime, border crisis, immigration, education on those issues he's pulling slower than any president in modern history but instead this election will be myopic focus on donald trump, the person and not his policy stances if the end of being the choice, it's not remotely a slamdunk for either team as i'm sure kevin would agree. >> we will be following it. some would argue they may have wanted this to be the choice again between donald trump and joe biden. we will be watching. thank you so much. next, heated confrontation with squatters that almost turned violent by investigation to the growing trend terrorizing homeowners across the country. don't want to miss it. ♪

welcome back. squatters throughout the united states, imagine this. people forcing their way into unoccupied home and claiming them as their own usually changing locks and documents in the process. not only is it a nightmare for

homeowners but also a legal headache to resolve. the sentiment became a reality for two business partners in florida who spent weeks trying to get the house back. >> homeowners, they were excited to put the property on the market back in february for almost as soon as they put out there for sale sign, squatters moved in. they refused to leave claiming they were victims of a rental scam and said they had every right to be there. just like that, the business partners became the latest victims of the nationwide scorning problem. >> i was unable to get into the front door was locked so i went back of the house to use my key to getting it dawned on me there may be individuals in the house and i may be placing myself in harm's way. >> this quarter says we rented this house and here's a receipt she told me and it showed she paid first, last month risk rent

as well as pet deposit and is a erogenous lease, the house is not for rent. >> more than a month homeowners tried to confront the squatters. during one of their encounters, patty was violently shoved out of her own home finally after weeks of frustration and more than $5000 in attorney fees, this week the court ordered the squatters out but the victory quickly came to an end when they reenter the property. >> be careful where you walk. there are broken eggs and egg shells, a lot of dog feces. >> we don't think so, we think -- >> are you serious? that they were not trying to get in, they just wanted to destroy -- >> they wanted to destroy the house. >> a beautiful remodel. >> we were part of it, one we knew would sell. >> beautiful flooring and they took literally a sledgehammer to it. >> they did. this is the worst room.

>> holy moly. they were really angry. >> yes. >> when you all came for the first time in here to look at all of this, what was going through your mind? >> your heart just drops and you wonder what kind of people could do this. it's just wrong. >> i'm curious, if you decided we're just going to barge in and take our property back -- >> we would have been arrested. we were told that very clearly. do not attempt to remove them. >> how much is it going to take to repair all of this damage? >> we don't know. we are meaning the insurance adjuster tomorrow and helping insurance will cover it. >> hoping? >> well, there is a clause that says is his a house is implemented 60 days you have to

have a vacancy insurance which we never heard about so if they say squatters were not here, considered tenants, the house was vacant 60 days. however, we couldn't get in the house because we were told we didn't have a right to walk and so we couldn't sell it nor get a regular and in so we have a feeling and we will let you know the insurance company will first deny. >> to understand, i told but with real estate agent sean. >> unless you call your insurance company and ask them to state a policy that because of vacant property, oftentimes when somebody comes in and they are there, it's quarter in this instance, the insurance company could say no we are not going to cover it because you don't have vacant property insurance. >> no criminal charges found in their case but they are working

with state lawmakers to reduce squatters rights. while they worked to restore their own home to the original state but the message to americans? take extra precautions. >> never leave the house vacant so we should have gotten someone to stay here and live here so it was never vacant. we should not have put a for sale sign in front of the house, we should not have had it advertised for sale except for the listing service so others were aware it's for sale. don't hang a lockbox in front of your house, have a security system and check on it every single day. >> how do you even sell a house if he can put up for sale sign? the homeowners tell us the running total for repairs is $20000. so far it's still unclear how much if any insurance company might cover. while squatters claim they dealt with a leasing agency to get their so-called lease, there's no record of the existing. the lease wasn't even signed.

coming up, chicago elected a new medical democrat as mayor, we have a deep dive including him speaking at a socialism conference. i will tell you all you need to know about brandon johnson after the break.

this chicago mayor, people are going to flee chicago in greater numbers, we will get more refugees as a result of that because it's like you know you seek what's not working and you go even further in that direction? you just wonder like what is going on? >> might be right on this, things look like they are going worse for the windy city so after mary qualified for reelection in cover, they were quick to say it's a referendum on lightfoot and her liberal policies but voter shows socialist to be the next mayor so what went wrong in chicago? i know you want to blame the people of chicago but hear me

out. only 35% of the city went out to vote that happens when you run warm candidates who voters can't get behind. not one republican even signed up to run for mayor in chicago. how can you win on the battle of ideas if you don't show up for the fight? politics as usual, voters want a candidate for the clear message that resonates with them and they want a choice. ran on pro police platform and he said would fully refund on minor crimes but distanced himself from republican for a democrat like and that never works. in his radical politics in the selection and they do this for one reason. it works. in the final days they turned up the heat. watch. >> fire black teachers in new

orleans. >> obviously they did major damage. there's only one way around this. people must know you so they claim candidate x is racist and the people have a personal relationship with them, it doesn't work. raymond johnson grassroots campaign came in, progressive came out in droves, the canvas the street and make sure people knew who he was even if it was just his name, they had a passion for this guy. they believe what he stands for. check out how dedicated he is to the cause. >> a special date because i'm celebrating my wedding anniversary today and what better way to celebrate an anniversary with a bunch of leftists? i'm saying this because it's being videotaped and i know my sons will see this one day and say why were you at the socialist conference?

at your anniversary? >> as result of this craziness, many have thrown in the tower on the city of chicago. the former president barack obama moved away but we can't give up on our american family. history has taught us a lot. it's the inner city but now it's everywhere including the suburbs. if the gop and other officials and cities and states don't get with the times, don't be surprised the problem lands on your doorstep. joining me now, fox news sunday anchor shannon. thank you for joining us. >> it's great to be with you. >> shannon, i wanted to get your insight because you have been following law and order in america for a while and crime is going up across the country. is there any hope for the people of chicago go should be expect things to get worse? >> the interesting thing is the new mayor elect where lori

lightfoot was like her, she didn't make it through the first round and chicago was elected probably more of the same when it comes to policies and where they stand on specific issues including crime and policing, you think about the big companies that check out of the region like caterpillar, is that going to continue to happen where people not only will have these issues with crime and policing and gangs and guns and all of the issues chicago deals with on a daily basis which you got to work about the economic health of the area of the city if people are checking out employers checking out, it strips away the tax base which fun things like police, law and order and looks like it's going to be a difficult situation but this is what folks voted for hand we'll see if the mayor is able to get things under con control. >> so many people who just did not show the boat 35% of chicago voters that decided to show up. one thing i've noticed is in

many cases you have small portions of people voting and everyone else has to deal with these policies but if they want it isolated when it comes to crime, the inner city but now it's spreading everywhere so just because you're not in chicago doesn't mean the consequences are going to hate you. >> think about how egg cities are interconnected with suburbs and how it does ripple through amenities, it's not just as crime is to be characterized as being an inner-city issue, it does spread. we have here in the d.c. area nice what would be considered upscale malls on the outskirts of d.c. in the suburbs of virginia where the last couple of months places i go shopping there have been shootings and recordings of shootings and chaos in these upscale places. crime is not just one neighborhood or place, it's something all of us have to think about in our day, a young

woman in d.c. who came in for concert attacked and stabbed to death and killed in her hotel an hour after checking in. this is something everybody has to be about because it's the randomness of crime that makes it scary meaning it could be anywhere at anytime, any person. >> who got to talk about your new book, three times you would be on the new york times bestseller list, love stories of the bible speak. what inspired this last book? >> everybody gets relationship advice, people are looking, crazy shows, news reality shows people go and try to find a match, it's a mess out there in the world and there are some beautiful things and a lot of good advice from the bible, people might not think of it being a place to talk about and romance and dating certainly in

of different frameworks in western society now that they are good bedrock principles and foundations about how we treat each other and serve each other and love each other. a lot of it flies in the face of what the world tells us that it's good solid advice, we've been married 27 years, we are flawed. we've had fights like everybody who's married but we find peace and a lot of good guidance in god's word. >> you have a beautiful marriage and am going to take notes so i can find -- >> i'm always on the lookout. you know it. >> thank you shannon. >> good to see you. >> coming up, all american swim champion attacked by protesters at a liberal university. live video after the break. ♪

to force their view on another because it's a crusade. a moral conviction, secular dogma they are enforcing. tonight and fiscal state university is speaking out. i'm going to read you this quote, they say they are proud the students demonstrated the value of free speech and the right to protest peacefully. they assaulted this woman, barricaded her in a room for three hours. they demanded money, 30 pieces of silver i guess for her release. this is unbelievable that these administrators hold no one to account and are calling this a peaceful protest. i'm sorry, there should be outrage across the country over this. >> here is a response to this. >> truthfully i think these people resort to anger verbally and physically and violence because they know they don't have reason on their side. >> i want to be clear because all of a sudden these are

protest, these are riots. violence is happening. i think the has to be one standard of justice, people can oppose riley which i don't understand the same person could but they have the right to do that but to chase her down, there has to be consequences for this. >> trans people are entitled to their rights. these female athletes are entitled to theirs and they should be allowed to speak, everyone should be allowed to speak. if we can't have rational civil debate in america and particularly the university setting, we are lost and if i were the administrator there i would demand all these people who engage in the violence should be expelled and i would have another form where i have a pro and con, kylie gaines and someone to oppose her, let them have a conversation and of the debate on the stage without this violence and listened to the ideas conveyed.

>> that is the problem though, they don't want that. people ask a dumb question, why aren't there more women ending up, because this is what happens. there is no consequence for it so you want people to risk their career and they still want to compete in sports, they want to be canceled, they still have women on the campuses, the university will protect them, how can we expect our children to stand up when we won't protect them? >> you are right. i said the other night if the country can't protect its women and girls, it's not going to protect anybody's rights. these girls have a right to compete barely in sports, title ix used to protect that and now the biden administration is trying to change that and insert biological males and what was once female sports. i don't understand. breaking news, to shooting in
