it is a diner, they have great food. the folks here are all "fox and friends" viewers, for the most part. it is a two-fer. we're able to talk to the folks. we're able to have pickleball fun and do the news of the day. live from fort worth. i'm having the best time. can we get people involved on "fox and friends" getting up early like a marching band, cheerleaders, stuff like that everyday? or do the show live from the courtside kitchen as often as we can. >> brian: hardest test ever for you that i just got down. explain pickleball scoring. let's say you are serving to start the game. you will be what, you will be one -- go ahead. >> steve: here is the thing.

the thing about pickleball, it turns out pickleball not named for that guy's dog, more complicated story. >> brian: really? >> steve: yes, it is, has to do with pickle canoes and stuff like that. >> brian: that makes sense. >> steve: scoring is the hardest thing. i was talking to greg in new jersey, my pickleball coach. he said don't worry about the scoring, they are about to change it because it is complicated. you can only score if you are serving. >> brian: right, i think i got it down. last thing with your tip. you are server one or two, to start you are two, you got one shot to go over and then it is 0 0-0, 0-0-2. what is hardest to get used to is letting it bounce when it comes back. you have to let it bounce,

therefore you don't choke up and in tennis, you want to get in front of the net. >> steve: the key, watching folks who do this, they do this all day everyday of the year. see that white line near the pickleball -- >> ainsley: kitchen. >> steve: that is the kitchen. >> ainsley: you are in courtside kitchen, but you can't be in the pickleball kitchen when you volley. >> steve: the food here is fantastic. the food is great. the pickleball is great. they have a full bar that is world class. has anybody had an alcoholic beverage yet today? maybe a couple, just saying. >> brian: they want to have a productive friday. >> ainsley: first number represents scoring team's score, second team is receiving team's

score. third number is server number, server one or two. it would be 0-0-2. >> steve: complicated. >> ainsley: it becomes easy once you start playing. >> brian: we are learning attorney general merrick garland sworn testimony on the hunter biden probe is at the center of the probe that the administration is mishandling the case. this is a big deal. the white house insists no political interference in the situation. >> ainsley: alexandria joins us. >> alexandria: this irs whistleblower is seeking protection. they have information showing preferential treatment has been given to hunter biden during the investigation into his tax affairs. >> respected within the irs and teaches other agents how to properly do investigations.

he knows how to spot when investigative steps are not done in the traditional way to get at the truth and he's spotted and observed things done differently in this matter and he believes they were influenced by politics. >> alexandria: mark lydle says -- attorney general merrick garland, who said this under oath back on march 1. >> i promised to leave the matter of hunter biden in the hands of the district attorney for delaware, pledged not to interfere with that investigation and i have carried through on my pledge. >> alexandria: that is what the whistleblower says they can disprove. the white house stating this, president biden made clear this matter would be handled independently by the justice department under leadership of u.s. attorney appointed by former president trump free from

interference by the white house. remember the letter in 2020 that attempted to discredit the hunter biden story, claiming it was russian disinformation, now former cia official testified the letter was triggered by a biden campaign senior advisor named antony blinken, now of course secretary of state. >> brian: and mikes morrell did the rangeling. the other thing i saw in the "new york post," they went down the lieb and asked all 51, what do you think now? do you want to apologize or push back on people that says it was russian disinformation? do you still believe it? almost everybody said no comment. others said it has earmarks of russian disinformation, i didn't say it was disinformation and number two, i don't think they looked at the laptop, even

though they have top secret clearing and went through the porn and crack and everything else hunter biden did and the other thing that stood out, joe biden as a nominee, looked into the camera in that debate and said 51 intel agents said this is disinformation. does anyone think that joe biden didn't recognize those pictureses on the laptop and wasn't told, dad, ges what i left at the repair shop, this is mine. if he would lie to get the job, what is he doing now that he has the job, steve? >> steve: brian, when you were describing that, 51 intel community experts, largely retired, who signed that letter, i've heard a couple of them and what they said is at the time, that is the information that was available to me. you know what, that has echos of what we are hearing from merrick

garland now supposedly if he is the upnamed political appointee who waved the department of justice away from hunter biden. we don't know that the ag is a liar, but someone may have given him information that was not true. remember six months ago, we talked about the "washington post" had that exclusive and fbi investigators said we have enough doing get hunter biden on tax evacation? when is it going to happen? apparently, behind the scenes, merrick garland, if he's the guy, put his thumb on the scale and said, there is nothing there. it becomes quiof who told him this stuff, ainsley? to some, it looks like yesterday we had mike turner on the show

and he said it looks like obstruction of justice. doj blocking the investigation from going forward. who is the person at the top? echos of watergate. we don't know if the bidens broke the law in making that money they did, but we know obstruction of justice is against the law. >> ainsley: the whistleblower says he has evidence merrick garland wasn't telling the truth in front of congress. if that was the case, then merrick garland, this is he would be in big trouble and could go to jail. in march, garland went to congress and says the investigation was free from political interference, maybe it didn't reach his desk. that was this past march. the irs has been investigating for a long time. irs finished the investigation a year ago, fbi finished theirs a year ago, there is word there is

growing frustration within the fbi because their work was completed a year ago. possible charges, two misdemeanor charges for failure to file charges, one felony count for tax evasion and one related to a gun purchase. if he is charged is yet to be determined. the cia information, what happened was the post released that hunter biden laptop story before the election. behind the scenes, it appears the biden campaign is panicking, antony blinken and joe biden go to the intel community, they had close buddies in the intel community and they say, gather your people, head of the cia, acting cia director, sign this letter and we need 51 signatures on this letter. if your boss said to sign this

letter, you are going to sign it. a lot are top people, leon pinetta. and murrell said i had no intention to write a letter to exonerate hunter biden until blinken's call. >> brian: if i'm leon panetta, before i sign my reputation away and could determine an election, i call joe biden, is that your son's laptop? i don't want my reputation on the line. ask joe biden is that your son's laptop and ask merrick garland, does it normally take five years to investigate somebody with all this information, five years to come to fruition, instead of saying keeping the investigation from them, the guy is naked with a hooker and crack. money coming in and out -- so

obvious there is a problem, you do not need merrick garland to have a sixth sense. >> ainsley: we need an elon musk to come in and clean house and make sure everyone is not political so we can trust them. there are agents in field offices we love, most are great, but they can't be political. >> brian: you cannot sign off if you didn't read it. ashley strohmier is ready for the news. >> ashley: fox news alert about alec baldwin, criminaling charges will be dropped over the shooting in "rust," and -- against mr. baldwin to conduct further investigation. this decision does not absolve mr. baldwin of criminal culpability and charges may be refiled. throughout the investigation baldwin maintained he did not pull the trigger. mob goes by name tire extinguishers targeting 43

small semblence of due diligence is be performed. >> brian: china is in. >> what the president has done, grown the economy of china, made us more dependent on china and did executive order to allow china to take solar panels to another country to dump on america their solar panels which you are buying and paying for. china is growing behind this. we will repeal this extreme green new deal. goldman sachs says this will pass three times as much money as proposed beforehand, repeal that, make us less dependant on china and curve inflation they created. >> brian: one thing negotiating with the president and your own party, famously fractured and you never sweated through the

>> ainsley: manhattan da alvin bragg promised not to prosecute theft during his 2021 campaign in the name of equity. bragg said if there is an alternative to incarceration, it does not make us safer, move away from what i call crime of poverty. with crime up 45% in the big apple, how has this brand of justice affected new yorkers. here to react is geraldo rivera. he ran on those promised and followed through. >> geraldo: we should not be surprised, his prime motivation was racial justice, equity, not street safety and people being punished, not crime and

punishment, equity. when you get in the squishy equity area, you are taking your own personal values and using them to decide what to arbitrate, what you should do with someone who commit a crime, you feel sympathy and empathy. you feel compassion. it seems all of these nice human emotions are directed at the criminal, rather than the victim of the crime, the perpetrator gets all the compassion and the victim seems almost inept. i brought a picture from a long time ago. pre-mustache, me in the manhattan da's office 26 years ago, i was 56 years ago and cy vance, predecessor to alvin bragg, gave me the picture because my daughter took the same job i had in the manhattan da's office.

it was very nice. cy vance was like his dad and my boss, hogan, and other prosecutes, they wanted the city to be safe and saw criminals as the enemy. if you committed a crime, you were prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and went to the criminal court building. it changed, bragg seems like a social worker to me, he seems more keen on when you start racial justice or justice, that is very subjective, that is alvin bragg deciding what is appropriate and what is not. what is almost shocking in retrospekts, we should not have been surprised when he instead of going after the thugs, went after donald trump. donald trump prosecution is something alvin bragg promised

the voters even a week before he took office, he said he would pick up the trump investigation personally and prosecute trump, as if trump was the problem and diverted enormous resources. i know politics, it is bare-knuckle game and he devoted enormous amount of resources to the phony case, whatever the stormy daniels payoff and a president indicted for the first time in u.s. history. they have a long way to go to bring it back to the days when the said da is a crimefighter, sleeves rolled up and making people feel safe. >> ainsley: now repeat offenders are back on the street over and

over and oat. his chief prosecutor bragged about letting violent felons out on the streets, including murderers, we are leaning on federal lawmakers to come into the city and highlight the story of the victims because alvin bragg doesn't do that. >> geraldo: the jim jordan thing is controversial and rubbed people wrong. there is plenty room for bipartisan cooperation to make the city safer. if people do not feel safe, law enforcement and government has not done their job, most important job government has. >> ainsley: without jim jordan, republicans do not have a voice. republicans and democrats want to see change and no one is listening to voters or people in new york because alvin bragg doesn't care, he has his own agenda. >> geraldo: do you like me without a mustache? >> ainsley: i do, with or

without. will you ever shave it? >> geraldo: i won't. >> ainsley: your signature. >> geraldo: i don't know what my lip looks like now. ashley, hard turn, what is happening in the headlines? >> ashley: police arrested sickth suspect in connection with the sweet 16 shooting, a 15 year old is facing reckless murder charges. police believe five other charged were attending the party before opening fire. four killed and 32 hurt. texas jury sentencing man to life in prison after being convicted of his ninth dui, he pleaded guilty to the felony charge. he racked up eight driving while intoxicated arrests before being busted a ninth time. the man insists he was unlucky rather than irresponsible.
