weekend. >> steve: that's right. and today is easter monday. historically down at the white house they do the easter egg roll and we are going to have the first ever in studio, "fox & friends" easter egg roll live within 10 minutes. >> brian: i don't even know the rules. i thought you pick it up and run with it. >> lisa: i thought so too. >> steve: the way they do it at the white house. you have got to scoop it. it's an easter egg roll it's not easter egg carry. >> lisa: hopefully none of us have to get manhandled like joe biden by the easter bunny. >> steve: that was last year when a reporter asked the president about afghanistan and then the bunny goes come on, mr. >> lisa: which makes she suspicious the easter bunny was a press secretary. >> steve: absolutely was. that's what you do. and by the way, they use actual hard boiled eggs. we, in the interest of keeping the studio tiedy, are going to be using plastic eggs.

>> lisa: i'm 38, i don't know if i can -- that looks very involved. i don't want to throw like a hip or back out. >> brian: the band that you bumped in with the bang quells? >> lisa: now i feel like i should know but i don't. >> what does that have to do with easter? >> i have just been dying to say that. >> steve: everybody knows the bangles are a girl band. >> brian: the go-go's and the bang gels. at one point women were playing a lot of music. what happened? i asked my mom if i was going to be a singer when i was 1 she told me there were other things i was good at. thanks, mom. >> brian: honest woman. >> steve: you just made her feel bad. >> lisa: she is the best mom. she really is. you are amazing. i love you she was honest.

who was the text from? >> lisa: mommy. lovely woman. a saint, selfless but very honest did not give you the music ability it wasn't honesty, if you are looking for hard words today. >> steve: any more songs to go through. >> lisa: any other apologies. something on your mind? >> brian: all right. >> lisa: sorry guys. >> brian: sentencing day today for daniel perry. the army sergeant convicted for murder of a black lives matter protester in 2020. and he could learn his fate as soon as tonal. >> steve: but, this is the new development. texas governor greg abbott is working to pardon him claiming perry was acting in self-defense and that was not properly prepared and presented at trial. >> lisa: todd piro has the latest. what do we need to know?

>> prosecutor are going to begin begin, working with a judge today to set a sentencing date for army sergeant daniel perry. the jury finding him guilty for the 2020 murder of derek foster. the shooting unfolding during a blm protest in austin, texas. he was saying during the protest foster surrounded his car before raising an ak-47 at him. perry claims he fired his own gun because he feared for his life. texas governor greg abbott now working to pardon perry saying he acted within his legal rights citing the state's stand your ground law. progressive travis county d.a. jose garza calling out it abbott wants in our legal system a jury gets to decide whether a defendant is guilty or innocent. not the governor. the governor's statement that he will intervene in the legal proceedings surrounding the death of garrett foster is troubling. dan patrick is slamming perry's conviction calling this a total breakdown of our system of

justice. >> one thing to have law and order breakdown in our streets. to have law and order break join in the justice system. he should have never been charged with murder. the detective says there was evidence that would probably not have had him indicted. the detective argue wnd the d.a. over. this but, when you have the justice system break down at the d.a. level and the court level, when a country tri -- can't believe in the justice system. that's the beginning of the end of a country. >> without pardon or appeal daniel perry is facing life in prison. >> lisa: terrifying. >> steve: the governor, we have got the a.g. from texas. the governor of texas greg abbott has asked the texas board of pardons to review the case and see if there would be a reason for him to be able to pardon him. buff it's abut it's a lot of ju2

people said he was guilty. you talked about this in the first hour, lisa. the lead investigator, the guy by the name of david fugat who has since retired. apparently after this guy army sergeant daniel perry was indicted for murder. the officer said the d.a.'s office forced him to remove exculpatory evidence from his presentation to the grand jury. so they indicted him. but at trial, apparently all because he thought it was self-defense. >> he also accused the district attorney's office of engaging in witness tampering with him because of this act that you just laid out. ultimately, if you look at the facts of this case. what it comes down to progressive d.a.s don't want you to engage in self-defense. supposed to just allow yourself to die? you look at this guy sergeant perry at fort hood trying to make extra money as uber driver. goes downtown to make extra money.

what inevitably happens find yourself surrounded by mob of black lives matter riots. they are lighting things on fire not friendly people, pounding on his car. a guy points an ak-47 at him. so if you are a sergeant perry, what do you think is going to hand? do you not feel that your life is in danger? and you have less than a second to make a decision. is it you or him? decide to save your life or not he decided to save his life. brian? >> brian: he has got the training. anyone looking at this case objectively know this was self-defense. it was the nature of the jury and the evidence that was held back. hopefully some justice will be done. i think that, you know, governor abbott was asked to go on tucker on friday night. tucker is like why are you letting this guy go to jail for murder? next thing you know i think it is related. he is looking at this for a pardon opportunity. did he not go on the show as invited but he is looking to take action this week. i'm sure that will be part of his monologue.

>> steve: let's see what that particular board of parole does suggest. i mean, if they say you know what? there is cause for a pardon let's see what the governor says. >> lisa: i asked the state senator who we spoke to last hour what they did to this d.a. that asked the lead homicide detective to hide information and also engage in what is alleged to be witness tampering are you going to remove him? why does he still have a job this he said they are looking o take action in the legislative body to remove people like him. >> brian: talk about 2024. president biden has a problem. he has very little energy. he doesn't get big crowds when he travels. yet he wants to win four more years as president. without a pandemic to lean on, people are going to need him to campaign. hold everything, what if he waits until the fall. what if he actually does a social media campaign tactically using influencers on tiktok which by the way we are debating any clear thinking person would be banning it. but not only is the president

not in support of banning it, he will be using influencers as they used in 2022. the former president and president both using it in order to get his message out. message out of one of accomplishment and his other message is abortion rights. >> steve: for the democrats, it's a smart approach. they are going to have four white house staffers work with influencers like these people right here. because in the election of joe biden vs. donald trump. 18 to 29-year-old voters preferred biden over trump by 2 #%. and then in the midterms, in 2022. democrats beat the republicans by 28% in that particular demographic. so, every time joe biden takes a picture, a selfie with a bunch of these younger inner influencers, the whole idea is to appeal to the people who use their smart phone and have completely tuned out mainstream media. they don't follow anything regarding the white house but suddenly joe biden just showed

up in their feed and they are going to read about him. >> lisa: i actually think this is brilliant. >> steve: is it is. >> lisa: terrifying gen z turning out for democrats in a massive way in the midterm election. we are talking about a generation of people that are so easily influenced they go on tiktok and instagram. see one person believing something and they think it's cool. >> brian: the big story is the to use social media great idea. trump used it to his great advantage. much bigger presence in instagram, facebook and even twitter when he gets back on there. however, if you want to know about how serious joe biden takes the china threat think about now not only is he not banning tiktok intelligence on us. both sides including senator mark warner agree with. he is not not banning it. is he going to use it as his main jet propulsion for his re-election. if you want to know what candidate. whoever might emerge on the right takes national security more seriously, start with

anybody better than joe biden. because not only is he in ireland in the time in which we could have a major war in europe as well as china, but he is now going to say okay, tiktok, take all my information. able to spy on us. we are not only going to ban you. we will use you. >> lisa: i would say when he was vice president flying hunter biden on air force 2 and shaking the hands of a chinese businessman who then got him a deal might have been our first indication that he is not serious about the china issue. but, no. good point. you have make good points. >> steve: but what portion of the united states pays attention to serious news these days? >> steve: the people watching right now are well-informed. >> lisa: not on tiktok. >> steve: when you look at the amount of time people actually spend on their phone with social media vs. >> lisa: i'm guilty of that. >> steve: people are watching their phone more than that harry sis ssison one of the social mea

influencers working with the white house. they posted this on saturday. hundreds of thousands of people upper saw this message. >> see, this is exactly what leadership looks like. unlike republicans, president biden actually supports democracy. he is not going to just sit by and watch republicans do these crazy radical things like expelling democrats for supporting gun control. thank you to president biden and these representatives for standing up for democracy and standing up for america great move if it wasn't tiktok. number one enemy is china on every level. come to the conclusion almost every expert that they are using it to gain information and also insert their point of view into tiktok's news feeds. and, yet, is not even taking it serious. lynn's his i feel like i'm 90. and only 38 and i think kids these days.

>> steve: shows how the white house realizes how important it is to get the message out. they are actually thinking about having a special briefing space in the white house. not the white house bread briefing room but something else specifically for the influencers because they know it works. >> brian: got between 38 and 42% approval rating. right now most democrats don't want him to run again. these are democrats that don't want him to run again. gavin newsom was out doing his fighting. >> steve: you have got to figure they sent john kirby out on thursday to talk about afghanistan because joe biden is going to be out of pocket in ireland elsewhere, camp david over the weekend. can't talk about it. by the time people are actually able to ask him about it he is trying to move past it. >> lisa: gavin newsom will probably go measure the drapes again when joe biden had previously taken an overseas trip. ashley, take us to the

headlines. >> ashley: you got it. man hunt for the juvenile suspects for the murder of three florida scenes is over. police with the help of fraferl agents arresting the third and final suspect over the weekend. the other two suspects the 16-year-old and a 12-year-old are already in custody. 12 years old. they are favors ago series of charges including first degree murder and they are due back in court next week. ritter visiting six flags in southern california with his family just three months after his near fatal snowplow accident. he posted this issue picture. this uplifting sphot of himself smiling while surround by his family. he was using a mobility scoot tore get around. good friday made magic on the mountain with some of my aphasing family. the picture shows his remarkable turn around after breaking more than 30 bones when he was crushed by his snowplow on new year's day. he nearly died trying to prevent his nephew from being run over. french president emmanuel macron says europe does not need to

eggs and cruelty to chickens. >> brian: cruelty to chickens? >> steve: instead use plastic or wooden eggs. >> brian: making scrambled eggs is good for chickens. >> lisa: apparently people are turning to potatoes because eggs are too expensive. in joe biden's america can't die easter eggs. >> brian: and can't get baby formula. >> steve: as a lovely parting gift you can get a wooden egg started in the 1980s with the reagans. >> brian: we have that footage. >> steve: i have flashback family photos of the doocy family actually there in the 80's and i posted it on my instagram. >> lisa: that's cute. >> steve: that's right peter screen left about 9 months old chewing on my press pass. >> brian: the exact spot. >> steve: there i am at the white house this weekend and there he is. he loved mine better. and there is my wife and i

kathy, we took peter, listen, it is -- if you have got a family, it is the hottest ticket in town. and people over the weekend said when i saw him in washington, they go, you know what? peter is a really good reporter. ladies and gentlemen, he has been covering the white house since he was 9 months old. >> lisa: that's very cooling. >> steve: it is very cool. there is mrs. doocy and i. and she is actually pregnant with peter in that image. that's why he is not there. we are going to have our own easter egg roll. at the white house they use actual hard boiled eggs. we are going to use plastic eggs. >> brian: is there going to be music? >> ainsley: i lost the decorating competition yesterday. i'm going to bring this home. >> lisa: ricky bobby told me if you are not first you are last. >> brian: don't be last. its. >> lisa: i'm wearing heels and a dress. >> brian: we are supposed to cross that line first? >> lisa: i'm starting here just do this.

you as a law man would like to throw your hat into the ring. but there are a lot of people throwing their hats into the ring right now. >> you are absolutely right. the reason they are throwing their hats into the ring our current d.a. gorge gascon has been a train wreck. he promised the people of los angeles that he could actually not prosecute fully violent and serious crimes and criminals. let them out before they have served their sentence and somehow, some way, safety and security was going to get better. that promise has been broken, actually a lie to begin with we have skyrocketing murders, homicides. shootings. quality of life crimes. robberies. we have a situation where convicted killers are literally toasting our d.a. in prison and other convicted killers want to tack heir name on his face because is he doing such a good job for the democrats and not the victims.

>> we have had a number of people from your county on this program talking about why they don't like him. and here's just a taste. watch this. >> george gascon's policy is to basically let as many violent offenders out as quickly as possible. >> well, you know, we have to hire security. that's $150,000 a year now. and our stores to prevent this. >> certainly as human beings, we all deserve a second chance and opportunity to make things right when we go afoul of the law. not everybody is ready for it. what we want is someone take us through the discussion as a community. >> so it's one thing for him to have originally been elected but then there was a recall effort and he was not recalled. who likes this guy? >> the recall, even though it didn't go through. it set three records, over 500,000 loss angelenos signed valid petition. 36 cities no confidence motions

in their d.a. and 97.8% of the 800 people who work for george gascon voted to support his recall. if i'm brought. in i will bring three things. i will bring independence, i will bring experience. and the common sense policies back to the district attorney's office. i was a former u.s. assistant attorney general. a former federal prosecutor. and even the president of the l.a. city ethics commission. l.a. is basically been playing politics with people's lives. that's what george gascon has been all about. and my job is to bring back independence it one of the best offices in the united states. the l.a. district attorney's offers, and get it resurrected from where it actually is right now and focus on victims the interest not criminal's interest. >> steve: you have got some common sense solutions. if this common sense, if there is a homelessness problem in the subways. the best way to get rid of folks down in the subways is to blast classic call music.

because that's what they are doing in your town. >> it is shocking. most people -- most subway system would play pleasant, classic call music to attract ridership only in los angeles has the homeless problem gotten so out of control as a d.a.'s office so failed as a county they actually decide to blast classical music to offend all the people and riders in the subway to get them out of the subway so they are not committing stabbings, murders, rampant drug use as robberies in the subways. the d.a.'s office has completely failed the people of los angeles county. and they need to bring someone independent like myself to actually bring back what the d.a.'s office should always be. the protection and safety and security of the people of los angeles county. >> steve: he is running for d.a. out in l.a. county. nathan hochman, thank you so much. >> www.nathan hochman.com. >> steve: i probably should have

speaker mccarthy. and at the end of the day, the united states continues to show resolve. we continue to sail our vessels where and when we want. we could do it greater number. in reality china is demonstrating right now that they still consider taiwan to be part of mainland china. taiwan is a item tracy and the taiwanese people need to make the decision despite what their foreign minister seems to be intimating that either they want democracy and willing to do what's necessary or they should make arrangements to become part of china and lose that to a communist government. his liz you know, commander, this comes at a time where there are heightened tensions with russia. obviously heightened tensions with china as we are talking. what's the possibility of a two front war and what would that look like. ,that's great question. lisa. when you look at it today. the largest strategic picture globally, you have got russia with the invasion going on in

ukraine. china is now assisting russia. you have china continuing to act aggressively toward taiwan. and act illegally in the south china sea seizing and militarizing islands in contravention of international law. you now have iran working to destabilize the middle east through proxies attacking israel. so, really, i wouldn't be surprised to see if russia, china, and iran were working in concert to try and create issues that spread the united states and our allies thin both in the intelligence world, the military world, and diplomatically in trying to figure out who is doing what, where and when. and that's what is causings a lot of the destablization. >> steve: so that point, commander, do we have enough stuff to do that because we are hearing how we are running out of bullets. it's going to take years to resupply. >> that's a good -- steve, you hit the nail on the head. because, in reality, what we have witnessed is a united

states military that took the peace dividend coming out of the collapse of the soviet union in the early 1990s. we began to consolidate our defense industry and what we have today is a united states military that went from being able to fight a two-front major war to one and a half, to one, and it's clear that we couldn't even fight one today because we don't have the depth, we don't have the ability to fight a sustained conflict. we can do the quick hit, hard hit, get in and out and stop. but we don't have the ability to do that sustained effort. and that's what is concerning to the american people and our allies. >> brian: not like we don't put enough money in it. we can always up that not making it quick enough. chinese paid for the stuff that they ordered already. they are waiting three years to get it. it's incredible. and that's one of the problems you have with the biden administration. when we have sold arms to taiwan, give it to them. one of the issues you worry about is how much might get

compromised to china. but by the same token, they bought it. get it to them. give them the ability to defend their nation. don't just talk the talk. walk the walk and make sure that china is going to be deterred from even considering that attack. >> brian: best way to avoid a war is be ready to fight it. thanks so much, commander. >> lisa: thank you, commander. >> absolutely, brian, thank you. thank you, lisa. >> brian: still ahead tennessee bracing for protests this morning as a lawmaker expelled for sparking a protest on the senate floor could be reinstated. a state representative joins us next amen.

representatives have sworn to needs to be i couldn't know held. and certainly if their actions are being caused to be democratic and exercise a first amendment right, that is really not true. bwhat they did was they took ovr the tennessee house of house of representatives while not being recognized while still in the middle of official business. they disrupted function. >> brian: we're watching them now. that's not the way you do things. they joined the protesters who stormed the floor. but the question is why didn't you kick out the white lawmaker because everyone is saying including her that it's racist. >> that only shows how even good actions, proper function of democracy and our legislative

motive is being misinterpreted. representative gloria johnson pleaded apparently convincing people enough to say that she was not a very active participant, that she did not bang on the table. she did not. >> brian: use a bull horn, right. >> and do certain things. now, the 66 votes were needed for expulsion, she received 65 on that accord. and as a result of that, she was not expelled. but, to imply that it has anything to do with race is really, really untrue. my only remarks to the legislature were my first sentence was you tend to look at everything through the lens of race. and this is what being done. this has nothing to to do with . only shows the fairsness of the

process people were punished according to their crime. >> brian: how do you feel if they're reinstated today? are you okay with that? >> it's the constitutional propro.we are lawmakers. we've respect the law and constitution it's in our d.n.a. if he is reinstated, i don't think the proper procedure is being followed at this time yet because what has happened is first process was proper constitutional trial and expulls. we have continue to form the governor of tennessee. the governor has to send a letter to the nashville metropolitan council that this has happened and they have the responsibility to appoint an interim representative. now, nashville council appears to be acting or plans to act ahead of that having happened,

and we will see they can suspend the rules and renominate. if they renominate our legislature has the right to consider if and when see the representative jones back into the -- >> brian: everyone loves crying race. they need another -- they call segregation and the old south has risen again. we still don't know where the manifesto is of the actual killer that prompted all of this to begin with i would love to get to the bottom of that dr. kumar, thanks so much appreciate it. meanwhile, still ahead. cease and desist against religion? walter reed medical center catholic service members. rachel campos-duffy on the fight to practice faith, next.

"fox & friends weekend" co-host rachel campos-duffy joins us live now. hi, rachel. >> rachel: good morning, lisa. >> lisa: rachel, this is a sad

state of affairs. >> religious freedom is a bedrock of this country. it's needed to live in a free country. i mean, this is concerning. >> rachel: yeah. thank you for having me, lisa and happy easter to you. >> lisa: you too. >> rachel: ironically this was done to ad insult to injury right before holy week when it's the busiest and holiest time of year. it's deliberate and part of a bigger trend that we see in government, in general. in this administration. and it's a greater dilemma. , it's a growing dilemma. for the catholic church. you see the biden administration shut down churches during covid and fbi plan was uncovered, lisa, showing that they planned to infiltrate, you know, the they labeled traditional catholics as violent extremists and planning on infiltrating them as if they were a terrorist group. all of these things were happening. and do you notice that the catholic church has not been

very vocal about it. part of that reason is because they have other more lucrative contracts with the federal government with hhs with, you know, homeland security regarding the border issue. and their involvement with helping migrants helping migrants. you know, through. this and so it has silenced the church in a way that i think is very troubling on very important moral issues. and on their very right to exist and some constitutional issues such as during covid when they were silent. so this is a growing trend. in oregon there was a woman -- christian woman trying to adopt children who was denied the ability to because she wouldn't sign an issue saying that she agreed with lgbtq trans gender ideology. so this is a crash course between one ideology that clearly the biden administration is for and another, you know,

sort of christian, you know, set of principles and values and our rights in the public square. and the military, by the way, has made it very clear where they stand. they have opened their doors and their policies are very much pro-gender ideology. and all these other things. and now they are shutting the doors for catholics. and for priests and people that receive the sack yesment. >> lisa: thanks for laying that out. we saw after six christians were murdered by a trans terrorist. president biden did the trans day of visibility. i want to get a statement in walter reed. currently the review of the pastoral care contract to ensure it supported religious needs of our patients and beneficiaries. the francis sis can won't be hosting. patients may still seek their services. certainly looks like the biden administration has hostility towards christians. rachel campos-duffy thanks for joining us.
