we have the kids from the marching band. they kicked off our festivities here. but we are here really for pickleball. it is the fastest sport that is sweeping the country. and look at all these people who are out here playing pickleball at 5:01. go ahead. all right. they were waiting for a substitute. i just actually played these people over here. you know, the thing -- there you go. take that. the thing about pickleball and that's why people of all ages have embraced including somebody at my advanced age. so we have come here to courtside kitchen because not only is it a pickleball place, but they have combined pickleball with something that people love to do and that is drink. [cheers and applause] >> steve: there's a bar. this is so much fun. it's courtside kitchen and so this morning we are having

pickleball and pancakes live from fort worth, ladies and gentlemen, thank you for joining us today on "fox & friends." [cheers and applause] >> all right. ainsley and brian, i know you are a little jealous. we have so much going on today. guests playing pickleball, look, they gave me pickleball clothes. >> brian: how would you describe them? >> well, it's something light and it wicks your sweat. they gave me a vest. this seems so appropriate. i was thinking about it this morning when i came over. oh, my wife just texted me. the show looks great. [applause] when was the last time i was thinking when is the last time i ever wore a vest on "fox & friends." it was back in 2016 at the very first diner show we ever did up in new hampshire. i wore a vest.

we had donald trump. we had chris christie. we had jeb bush on and today we are going to be talking 2024 and i'm in a vest again. >> ainsley: well, glenn youngkin is happy this morning. and what a supportive wife you have. kathy is up at 6:00 in the morning every morning. >> steve: well, these people all got up at 3:00 in the morning and kids in the band same thing. i wonder what time they are going to have to leave. also we have very special guests. >> ainsley: tell them if you google the restaurant it says they're closed. it says they don't open until 11:00. but the menu looks amazing. >> steve: that's right. >> ainsley: cheese and double dip guacamole and chips and salsa which you have to have in texas. >> steve: you know what, ainsley, you would love. this they have the margarita machine moving. >> brian: it's moving.

>> ainsley: you can play pickleball, drink a margarita and eat guacamole. >> brian: being that you have an apple watch try to close your rings before the show ends. you probably did already. >> ainsley: you are one to talk, brian. brian's ipad goes off the entire show, right, steve? >> brian: oh my goodness. >> steve: my wife sends me a message it just vibrates i don't get an audio notification. and, by the way, good morning, kathy. >> ainsley: good morning, kathy. let's get to some of the news. we are now learning that attorney general merrick garland's sworn testimony on the hunter biden probe is at the center of an irs whistleblower's claim that the administration is mishandling the case. >> brian: wow. buff the white house insists there is no political interference in this investigation, steve. >> steve: okay. meanwhile, alexandria hoff joins us from washington with the latest. alexandria does not look good if

this is true about the attorney general. >> big name to be dropped in this. and this irs special agent turned whistleblower does not have political agenda according to their lawyer. what they do have is information attorney mark lytle shows preferential treatment into the investigation of hunter biden's tax affairs. >> my client is a career law enforcement officer who is respected in the irs and teaches other agents how to properly do investigations. he knows when it spot when investigative steps aren't done in the traditional way to get at the truth. and he has spotted and observed things that are done differently in this particular matter and he believes they were influenced by politics. >> lytle says his client seeks to provide detiles republicans and democrats that would contradict sworn testimony to congress by a senior political appointee. that's how he put it. naming that employee as attorney general merrick garland who said this back on march 1st.

i promise to leave the matter of hunter biden in the hands of the district attorney of delaware. i have pledged not to interfere with that investigation and i have carried through on my pledge. >> that's what the whistleblower says they can disprove the white house dismissing the allegations stating this, quote: president biden has made clear that this matter would be handled independently by the justice department under the leadership of a u.s. attorney appointed by president trump free any political interference by the white house. as for the hunter biden laptop story of course we have to go there, too. of course a cia official has testified that secretary of state antony blinken who was then a biden campaign senior adviser played a role in the inspection. that was the letter that claims that the story was russian disinformation, steve, ainsley, brian? >> brian: wow, alex. i understand maybe you can get

clarity one of the quirks of the federal laws because he works for the irs, he needs congressional approval to fully come forward and describe in detail the allegations that he has already told his own lawyers. does he need a majority approval? who would deny him approval to speak out? >> yeah, that's a really good question on how many or how much authorization he would need from congress. but it's my understanding right now that this whistleblower hasn't been able to fully disclose the information he has even to their own attorney at this point. make sure get information to the legal tomorrow team to review it and bring it to the justice department and treasury department more fully. >> brian: thank you so much. this is unfolding. didn't take long for hunter biden's let's say unique attorneys. the ones that came out and want to sue the laptop repair person -- sorry for looking at you. sue the laptop repair person for letting go of the information on

hunter biden wants laptop while not fully realizes, perhaps, it was hunter biden's laptop and jonathan turley was one of the people that pointed that out. kind of an interesting thing. i'm sure the white house wasn't happy about that. now hunter's attorneys came out and said you are violating the irs agreement when you become an irs agent. you are not supposed to become somebody that talks about things publicly or even becomes a whistleblower. so it was a threat to the client and that was made clear last night that that was one of the fears that the whistleblower had of getting in personal legal trouble, steve. >> steve: so let's listen to jonathan turley right now talk about how serious this is it. >> it's extremely serious. there is obviously the allegation of perjury, it's also a crime to interfere with irs investigations. so these things do bring you into the criminal code. it's also important, as i keep on saying, that there is the secondary question as well.

whether or not there is evidence of crime. there is ample evidence of corruption. that's what influence peddling is. there is ample evidence of millions of dollars going to the biden family. congress has an equal interest in that. in fact, congress is the primary body to investigate that since the department of justice investigates crimes. so, there's a lot here that we have to unravel. what was ironic about the attack by hunter biden's counsel on whistleblower hunter biden recently called on the irs to investigate his critics. >> steve: yeah, exactly right. so, you know, now that we know, ainsley and brian, that merrick garland the attorney general sounds like he is the unnamed senior political appointee who essentially has talked to people about not going forward with the hunter biden investigation because according to this whistleblower, he has got

evidence that what our attorney general said is not true. we had mike turner on this show yesterday, and he was talking about, you know what? that could be on destruction. think about that. we don't know whether or not the bidens broke any laws in amassing their family fortune. but, think about this, this kind of has echos of waters gate. remember, it wasn't the crime. it was the cover-up. wouldn't that just be crazy, ainsley, if, as it turns out, the bidens didn't break any rules but somebody said something to the attorney general to make him think that hunter biden should not be prosecuted and they didn't go after him so the question is, what did the attorney general know, when did he know it, and if he got bad information, who gave the attorney general of the united states information, that, according to the whistleblower, is not true, ainsley. >> ainsley: the whistleblower is saying merrick garland didn't tell the truth when he talked to

congress in march, when he said the investigation is free from political interference. we heard the soundbite with garland saying he pledged not to interfere. how much did he know? did the information go all the way to the top? did he know this information? we want to hear from the whistleblower because he says he has proof that garland was lying to congress. also breaking, is the acting -- the former acting cia director mike morell. he was in sworn private testimony. he told the house judiciary committee about the hunter biden story. the post, the "new york post" released that hunter biden story. remember then a few days later. everyone is reporting that's russian disinformation. how did they find that out? why were they reporting that? he says in front of the house judiciary committee that antony blinken who is now ourselves at the time he was working for the biden campaign back in 2020. he said blinken gets in touch with him. and he says i need you -- i need to you help biden by organizing 50 colleagues to sign a letter in october of 2020, falsely

claiming that hunter's laptop story was russian disinformation. he said i wasn't planning on doing this but i organized the letter. he said over the next no days i gathered signatures from 51 foreigner intel jerusalem including john brennan and leon panetta we organized this letter. sent it to a specific reporter. politico published the letter on october 19th. the headline is hunter biden story is russian disinformation. >> brian: guess what happened two days later, the debate. that's what was so important to get it out before the debate. geles who looked into the camera and lied the future president of the united states 51 intel agents says it's russian disinformation. when we all know and he knew that was his son's laptop. you know that and he got it out ahead of time and mike morell said i wanted to make joe biden won the election. >> steve: now, after we have laid all that out, you know what? and this brings it all full circle, it sounds like somebody is in a pickle.

>> ainsley: pickleball. >> ainsley: wife did 50 people in the intelligence community write this letter if they really didn't believe it was true? >> brian: they wanted trump to lose and they didn't read the letter. that's the other story. they didn't even know what they were signing. they didn't receipt laptop. they didn't look for themselves. the new entry in the race for the white house. >> my announcement, tucker, is i'm announcing that i'm running for the presidency of the united states. >> brian: larry elder announcing but where is biden, ainsley? >> ainsley: the new 2024 poll spelling trouble for the current president, steve. >> steve: that's right. plus, we are just getting started here in the lone star state. up next, i'm talking to the folks. but, first, here is more from the south oak cliff high school marching band on friday's "fox & friends" live from fort worth,

>> ashley: we're back with a fox news alert. a major blast rocking a city in russia located just 25 miles from the ukraine border. russian warplane bombed its own city. a pilot accidently dropped the bombs on a busy roadway causing that massive explosion that left three people hurt. it also left behind a 60-foot crater and sent a car onto the roof of a nearby building. now to a fox weather alert. powerful storms moving east after drenching the midwest yesterday bringing flash floods, torrential rain.

to a stop and soaking the state. heavy winds knocking over several planes at kansas city airport leaves nearly a dozen planes damage. same system battering oklahoma. tornadoes left three people dead. now to this. president biden is set to announce a new executive order making environmental justice a mission of every agency in the executive branch. the democratic senator joe manchin is warning biden's approach is going to send money and jobs to china. meanwhile, in michigan, people are sounding the alarm over the state's plan to fund a chinese backed green energy project in big rapids. >> i am gravely disappointed that our representatives are serving the demands of our governor over the request of our citizens. i'm certain when taking an oath, giving american dollars to a foreign company that puts our national security at risk was not in question. >> i'm angry. >> i'm angry this vote was slipped into the agenda late yesterday. i'm angry that you, our elected officials, have ignored our will

table the vote until some due diligence can be performed. >> despite the pushback, lawmakers approved the use of $175 million in taxpayer funds to fund an electric vehicle battery plant. okay. so could tom brady unretire for a second time? the legendary quarterback giving ambiguous answer when asked if he would ever put the pads back on and suit up for the dolphins. >> spending a lot of time in miami. call it home. by chance, is there any chance that you are coming out of retirement and playing for the fins? >> oh, man. i will say now that i'm not affiliated with any team anymore and even though i have strong ties with a couple teams, i do have some friends on the dolphin that's really like. >> ainsley: brady called it a career for a second time in february, retiring after 23 years and seven super bowl

rings. and those are your headlines, guys, back to you. >> brian: just on this on tom brady, only scenario i see it coming back, are you ready? ashley? >> ashley: i'm ready i'm all for it. >> brian: week six, the dolphins open up 6-0. out for the season. tom brady taken a year off before he starts with fox says i might as well go back, my divorce is settled my family seems fine. i'm in miami, my kids are in miami. maybe i will play tackle football again hand me the eye black. that he was the scenario. >> ainsley: is he allowed to do that mid season. >> brian: i feel he can do that. >> steve: there is always the pickleball team. >> brian: does he want to focus more on pickleball. >> steve: i do. >> brian: there goes my scenario. >> ainsley: breaking news. absolutely right. >> brian: won't come back to football he has to manage his pickleball team. >> ainsley: thank you, ashley. >> ashley: you are welcome. >> brian: sorry, ashley. >> ashley: that's okay. >> brian: 2024.

field got bigger asa hutchison, vivek ramaswamy, this guy named president donald trump. all in the race along the second one in was nikki haley. on deck, tim scott and mike pence and, also, in a surprise move, larry elder, listen. >> my announcement, tucker is i'm announcing that i'm running for the president of the united states on your program. aside from the obvious things the border as i mentioned before, the crime, the maligning of the police, a couple things that our side does not spend enough time talking about. that is the lie, absolute disgraceful lie that the democrats put on everything is that america is systemically racist. it's not just a lie, tucker. it's having real consequences. the police are pulling it back. called the ferguson effect or george floyd effect. the 10,000-pound elephant in the room regarding all this stuff we see in chicago and other things we see mass mobs is all the fathers in the home. focus people on those two issues

i would have performed a service to my country. >> steve: so, larry, welcome to the race. and it sounds like everybody. [applause] a surprise guest just showed up. i'm not going to reveal him yet. but could be playing -- you're not dressed for pickleball, just saying. oh, maybe he is. you will meet that person in a moment. and now, of course, larry elder is in on the republican side. also, fox news has apparently confirmed that next week joe biden will announce on april 25th, which is the same day that he declared back in 2019 that he is running for re-election. we have heard all along that his plan was to run for re-election. and, you know, we have learned one thing, ainsley, over the last couple of years is joe biden is kind of a superstitious guy. and if he ran three times for president and he finally

declared on april 25th in 2019, and won, he is going to declare on the coming tuesday, just as we predicted on this program yesterday. >> ainsley: yeah his four year anniversary. that's why they are saying he picked this date. going to make the announcement via campaign video from the white house. he has sent out exclusive invitations to some of his top donors during of the 2020 campaign year. and, you know, if you look at the polls, he is struggling a bit. this is a poll from -- we'll show you this the university of new hampshire survey center and they say 25% like joe biden, look at the next number. 17%, that's a big number. bernie sanders. michelle obama, who's not in the race. we haven't -- a lot of people say they wish she would run but i don't think she will. 10%. and then, yesterday, we were reporting that robert f. kennedy when he threw his hat in the ring, he was stealing by double digits some of biden's voters.

600 people were asked who would they voted for who voted for biden last time chunk said robert f. kennedy in this poll. >> brian: had who? >> ainsley: biden. >> brian: average over 42%. trending in the wrong direction. the economy is going in the wrong direction. see what is happening around the world, i think ha has happened. r.f.k. gets in 14 to 16% of the vote. i think that has a lot to do along with the superstition of why he is not waiting until the fall. he probably can't. he has to collect the money and push everybody back and then he goes in may go to japan, australia, so he is going to be out of pocket for a while along with the debt ceiling negotiations that could really gum him up. so we will see's what. i will tell you, new hampshire does not like joe biden. remember, he got blasted. he didn't even show up the date day of the voting. he went to south carolina where everything turned around for him. so, that's what's going on in 2025, steve. i think you have to talk to a

lot of important people. >> steve: right. well, you know, it is pickleball month. and that's why we are deep in the heart of texas here in fort worth. talk to some of the folks with presidential politics. this fellow right over here. >> allen. >> steve: retired air force. >> yes. >> steve: thank you very much for your supervisors. sounds like joe biden is going to get in on tuesday. as you look at the coming presidential race, what row looking for? >> i'm looking for somebody that is going to bring america back up great again. i love that we need have positive energy. right now we have negative energy. and i do question joe biden's mental capacity. >> steve: what's your number one issue? >> i think the border. >> steve: well, we are here in texas. we are here in fort worth not too far how does that impact folks like you. >> hurting us all around different ways. fentanyl or whether it's people

working illegally. i'm all for people being here if they are here legal. >> steve: lady over there nodding yep, yep, yep. these ladies right lehr when they are not, you know, appearing on television, they are out on the pickleball court and what's your name? >> melissa. >> steve: melissa, what is it about pickleball that brings you out at 5:27 in the morning central time. >> okay. well, i think you don't have to be a professional. >> steve: no. i'm proof. >> right? >> steve: and so my friends and wonderful way for us not to bond not only with each other but bring our teenage boys out here on school holidays, summer. >> steve: you don't have to be that great to still have fun. one of the other things that's going on right here is we got to thank the fort worth police department for showing up. [cheers and applause] and this is the chief of police. chief, thank you very much for

dropping by "fox & friends" today. >> hey, steve, thank you so much for dropping by and seeing all of these amazing people here at fort worth. we appreciate our residents so much. >> steve: there is a famous person from fox news who just showed up. he and i would like to play somebody in pickleball. so can i challenge the fort worth police department to a duel. >> we don't back down from challenges. these are my ringers right here. >> steve: that's coming up. ainsley and brian this show just got interesting because these guys are armed. >> ainsley: we love them. they can write you a ticket. good thing brian didn't go. >> brian: yes. i'm getting better. >> >> ainsley: we have a fox news alert. criminal charges will be dropped for alec baldwin in the fatal rust shooting. but his troubles are not over. a trial attorney on what happens next. >> brian: all right. and you need to see it to believe it. shocking pentagon footage of a

name in a movie or reality show they will make a celebrity who is a part of it an executive producer. it doesn't mean they actually know what is happening. they are not actually building the set. >> i think that might be something, too. you have a great point. we don't know if he was an active participant in running and daily basis. executive producer in name or maybe to get profits. those are good points. maybe that's something the special prosecutor are looking at as well. what was his real involvement in the safety. >> ainsley: what about the person is it hanna gutierrez responsible for the actual weapon and the bullets that are placed in a weapon? what happens in her case? >> so, yeah. the armorer on set. apparently her charges charges have not been dropped at this time. >> ainsley: will they be? >> yet to see what the information is and the new evidence and the forensic analysis that the prosecutors are going to review at this point. her attorneys are confident the charges will be dropped. which, you know, look, let's

do anything i didn't intentionally do anything the gun did go off. is he claiming he never pulled that trigger. the new evidence, at least someone is giving this a real look. a real look over our careful look over. and that's what justin is. >> ainsley: right. our hearts and thought go out to helena who did lose her life. changes can be made in the future. rebecca, good to see you. ahead, fight for sports. a former division one volleyball player thanking the g.o.p. for standing up for her rights. look who steve found down in texas will cain was up early. is that the famous guest? >> there he is. >> ainsley: what's coming up? >> will: doubles partners. >> steve: that's right. we have never done this. battle of the network stars right now. we are taking on the gorst

soccer player who comes out and has no problem with it. one of her quotes is your kid's high school volleyball team isn't that important when it comes to trans athletes competing with or against. what's your reaction to that. >> i think it's actually kind of absurd because we do care, especially as a volleyball player we do care about your daughter's high school volleyball team especially in the case of peyton mcnabb who testified this week north carolina who was severely concussed and injured by a biological man on the other side of a net. so, we very much do care because this is not just about it being unfair for female athletes but we're getting to the point that it's unsafe. >> brian: no question. however, some democrats yesterday were saying it's bullying. what are republicans doing? this is bullying. this is just mean do you understand that. >> this bill isn't anti-trans it's pro-woman. to say any female athlete, i think it's common sense in the

sport of volleyball the position i play is an average male side over 6 feet tall. i'm 5'4",i would never be able to compete against a biological male. there is reasons why the net is higher. there is a difference in baseball and softball fields. there is a reason title ix was so hard for 50 years ago so we had these separate categories so we could all play on a level playing field. >> brian: are you thankful for riley gaines. >> i'm thankful for riley gaines she is a friend and co-worker. the way she speaks out she is so elegant with her words. those who whether have you competed against lia thomas current or former athlete, it's our jobs as female athletes to rally behind riley gaines and fight for female athletes. >> brian: you are. riflely you have some company. adrianna, thank you so much. good luck in your coaching career. >> thank you. >> brian: let's check in with
