♪ charlie: good morning, fox news alert, the vatican updating us on pope francis' health saying he had a restful night but remains in critical condition following a respiratory crisis on saturday. rachel: chanley painter joins us with the latest. >> reporter: good morning. the vatican sharing a brief update this morning, a spokesperson releasing this at the same time, quote: the night passed quietly, the pope rested. a this short statement did not mention specifics about whether the pope was improving in any way. he does remain in critical condition. a statement yesterday said this, quote: the pope is not out of danger. pope francis experienced an as

that-like respiratory crisis which required the administration of high flow oxygen. the pope was also given a blood transfusion. fran if sis was hospitalized nearly ten days ago after a bronchitis led to pneumonia in both lungs. doctors are still worried about the threat of sepsis saying, quote, with his respiratory problems and his age would be very difficult to get out of. the real risk in these cases that these germs pass to the bloodstream. meanwhile, the vatican tamping down rumors and speculation that francis might decide to resign is. on friday the church reassured the world's nearly 1.4 billion catholics hat pope if continued to work while hospitalized, even joking around with his doctors. his medical team expects the pontiff will need to be the hospitalized for at least another week, guys. kevin: khanly, thank you so muco much. we'll keep an eye on that. this is one of those

circumstances where 1.4 billion catholics around the globe, it is not just a minor if story, this is the a significant story for people of faith and even those who don't consider themselves catholic. rachel: absolutely. i believe catholicism is the largest denomination in america as well. if the vatican, charlie and i have talked about it before, very cryptic mt. way they control things out -- in the way thing r hay roll things out. the pep has been sick for quite a while. -- the pope if has been sick for quite a while, this, of course, much more than anything we've seen in the past. we had cardinal dolan yesterday, here's what he said is. >> look, we've got to be kind of realistic, as he is. went you get double pneumonia in anybody, you're worried. i mean,a child gets double pneumonia. when you've got an 88-year-old man who's only got 75 of his lung capacity and is struggling with arthritis and a bunch of stuff, it's not looking good. i admire his grit, his resilience, i'm praying with him and for him, but i think we have

to be realistic, as he certainly is. rachel: that's about as a candid as you'll ever get from a church leader. charlie: absolutely. and i think if the fact that that there has been a striking amount of openness from the vatican tells us it's a serious situation. rachel: yes. charlie: i was struck by his. >> saying yesterday the pope knows he is in danger, and he asked us to relay that to people which, to me, also on a very personal level suggests he kind of wanted to telegraph that he's at a peacewith where he is. rachel: right. when you read that, i got he wants us to pray for him. shar shar right. yes. rachel: because with he knows his time is coming. charlie: and to know that he is where he wants to be. kevin: i think it's an interesting time for catholics the world over,this is not to suggest that it's simply if time to move on and do the next great thing, but it is a reflection, i think, of not just this pope's

legacy, will he be here for another year in ten years in who nose. but it's also a chance for catholics the world over to really reassess where the faith is in 2025. i know there are hot of catholics who have felt very strongly about this particular pope. and why they -- can while they continue to pray for him, they also pray for the future of the church. rachel: absolutely. really well said. very dip to lo make it. listen -- diplomatic. i'm someone who has not always agreed with the pope, and i've been very vocal about it even on this show, but he is the pope, and i am a roman catholic and proudly so is, and i pray for him and i pray that if this is his time or near his time, that he is not suffering and that he is at a peace, as you've suggested. kevin: yeah, well said. charlie: meanwhile, in overt political news, president trump went to cpac yesterday, and his

first return to cpac he delivered a speech since he became president, and he promised to drain the swamp and retore american livelihood. >> the fraudsters, liar, cheaters, globalists and deep state bureaucrats are being sent packing. the illegal alien criminals are being sent home. [cheers and applause] we're draining the swamp, and we're restoring government by the people, for the people. we're liberating communities like aurora, colorado, and springfield, ohio. [applause] that have been occupied by illegal alien criminals from all over the world. we're rescuing the americans whose with jobs have been stolen, whose wages have been robbed and whose way of life has been absolutely destroyed. we're going to have a great country again. it's going to happen soon, a lot sooner than you think, and and we're going to have so much money coming in from tariffs,

oh. [applause] you're going to say, your senators and congressmen are going to say, please, sir, please, you're making us look so bad. we have so much money coming in, i didn't know this was gonna happen. [laughter] joe was the worst ask and, believe me, i have to to clean up the mess. i'm cleaning up the mess, and it is a mess on the border, with inflation. [applause] every single thing he touched turned to [bleep], okay? [cheers and applause] everything. rachel: wow. [laughter] this is really a hero's welcome back to cpac. donald trump tarted -- he came to c pac i think 6 years ago, he wasn't -- 16 years, and i think they voted him as the number one pick. he didn't even know what a straw poll was, and he won. charlie: right. rachel: so he's back in this really triumphant return calling out the globalists, calling out the people who are cheating. for those of us who do know people inside of the cabinet, he's telling the truth, it is a mess. everything is in worse condition

than we ever mentioned -- imagined, that i can attest to. there's a lot to do, and he's trying to rally the troops and say is, hey, i'm here the clean it up. we've got to stick together on this. kevin: listening to him and, obviously, the strong reaction from the crowd, it is really, really something to see a president not just sort of back to back administrations, but having that four years out of office, then coming back, it almost heightens the amount of passion i think not just for the people who support the president, but also for the president himself. i found him full of vigor, i found him very specific about a his ideas and what he wants to do for this country. and and it's the really palpable. we've seen it for the last month in office, and it's really quite something. rachel: charlie would say it's four years to plot. charlie: yeah. no, exactly. [laughter] i think it was not just the four years of sitting in the corner brooding. it really gave him an opportunity to think about how he wants to have a do-over and to do it better.

kevin: yeah. charlie: what we're seeing is exactly that. also probably the most important thing about all of it is not only is he getting all of this this done, but he's allaying the groundwork for a successor. cpac had a straw poll in which they, in which they selected their favorite pick for a nominee for 2028. 61% went to j. j.d. vance. [laughter] 12% went to steve bannon. rachel: that would be an interesting ticket. charlie: very, are interesting. [laughter] and then after that it goes up. 61% for j.d. vance. i think that it's safe to say donald trump not only owns the republican party, he owns the immediate future -- rachel: and i think that was the intention in bringing in j.d. vance, you guys. kevin: exactly. rachel: i think there was that hope, but i don't think the people were sure until the last month because we talked about it yesterday on the couch, shar

ally, when you -- charlie, when you weren't here. we referenced some of the stuff he did in europe, the speech he gave that was really important but also the cultural issues he's willing to take on. the old guard republicans never wanted, they found that that stuff distaste. they didn't want to talk about pro-life, they didn't want to hoe up at the march for life which he did, you know, first event out of, you know, once he got into office. if first event he chose was the pro-life march. taking on toxic masculinity and going online and trolling the left who's trying to call out donald trump and and him on tough. he has been really, really good over the last month. charlie: completely unafraid. kevin: yeah. rachel: totally. kevin: by the way, the speech overseas sets the table, but i noted when we looked at that straw poll, nikki haley way down at the bottom. [laughter] 1%? if. charlie: 1%, wow.

rachel: yeah. that that's actually pretty good for her. there's only one person that would score lore than that, and that would be -- lower than that, and that would be liz cheney. kevin: yeah, zero, liz cheney. [laughter] charlie: i wonder if they put her on the list. they should put her on the list. kevin: i kind of like that idea. rachel: but that list, the second, steve bannon, donald trump truly has made this -- charlie: completely. rachel: everyone who was part of that old guard, bye-bye. kevin: the white house says a peace deal in ukraine could come as soon as this week as the president continues his high stakes discussions with leaders from around the world. rachel: madeleine rivera has the details if from washington. good morning. >> reporter: that's right. one of those leaders that president trump is set to meet with this week is french president emmanuel ma pa krone, the first european leader to head to d.c. after the inaugust

ration, and there's a lot at the take here. ma pa caron is trying to con -- macron is trying to convince trump not to abandon ukraine. if he's trying to form a ponce if as the trump team moves ahead with steps to end the war in ukraine. they'd like europe and and and ukraine to have a seat at the negotiating table. a macron is set to the tell trump, you cannot be weak in the face of president trump putin, not in your interests. another u.k. leader, keir starmer, is set to travel to the nation's capital this week, and just yesterday the president had a call with canadian prime minister justin trudeau. a readout from the white house about the conversation states, prime minister trudeau echoed president trump's desire to see an end to the war and a acknowledged that president trump is the only world leader who can push through a just and lasting peace. but the president has been critical of ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy and just yesterday once again floated the idea of getting payback for the

financial and military aid the u.s. has given ukraine over the last three years. >> i'm dealing with -- [applause] if president zelenskyy, i'm dealing president putin. i'm trying to get the money back or secured, because, you know, europe has a given $100 billion. the united states has given $350 billion. was we -- because we had a stupid, incompetent and administration. $350. but here's worse, europe gave it in the form of a loan. they get their money back. we gave it in the form of nothing. >> reporter: the white house has been working on a deal that would grant the u.s. access to ukraine's rare minerals as compensation for the assistance that the u.s. has given, but the agreement is not a guarantee of future aid for the war. charlie, rachel and kevin. if. [laughter] rachel: thank you, maddie.

kevin: appreciate that. these sorts of meetings happen all the a time where a world leader will come into the white house and they say all the right things in a public space, but behind the scenes they let the leadership know not only what they need, but how they genuinely feel. so is a little stage craft especially from the president's meeting, following his meeting with emmanuel macron, they do have a fairly decent relationship. not so much later in the week with keir starmer, so is we'll see how that place out. but i do think they're ever so close, as maddie points out, to to a deal for mineral, and i think that's fair. the american taxpayers have given ukraine, what is with it, $2-300 billion? rachel: he said $350 billion. kevin: that's a crazy amount of money. i think it's fair for us to get our money back or for our country to get something back in return. charlie: and i get people who don't like donald trump and don't like the way he operates, they hi he's too crash or

whatever -- they think he's too brash or whatever. i don't know how you can look at this deal and not recognize if it as a fairly brilliant way to end what looks like an impossible situation is. the idea of going into business with ukraine and making american, turning ukrainian assets into american assets so that america is actually in business as a financial interest in the safety of ukraine helps ukraine more than just giving them money. so getting that sort of guarantee for our loans is -- in what world is that like getting into bed with vlad pair putin? i don't even -- vladimir putin? in i don't understand the argument. rachel: well, he talked about the $350 billion and, by the way, i'm really grateful to president trump that we're finally hearing the numbers. charlie: yeah, exactly. rachel: what we were trying to find out is exactly where it went because zelenskyy himself said there's ten thes of billions of dollars that he doesn't know where they went.

kevin: exactly. rachel: and there's lots of stuff on europe, tiktok and so forth of, you know, his wife buying things in paris and handbags and and other kinds of ukraine officials purchasing, you know, summer homes in greece and all over the french riviera. we need to find out where the money went. but put aside the $350 billion, there have been a million lives lost. kevin: yes. rachel: and nobody's talking about that, other than donald trump. nobody is talking about the meat grinder that these ukrainian boys and these russian boys have have gone through. and it's, it's about a time peace is breaking out, and we need to celebrate peace breaking out. i don't know if you guys remember last week, the the european -- in that that munich conference, the europeans were chuckling about how donald trump wants to, you know, has a mentioned that he deserves the nobel peace prize and they sort of all laughed and said, well, we're in charge of the nobel peace prize. listen, ever since they gave it to barack obama in his first

week in office, that thing is a joke. kevin: it's amazing. rachel: who cares? peace is breaking out -- charlie: if he were. barack obama, he would have already gotten the peace prize. rachel: remember when it went to mother teresa, when it mattered? charlie: people that actually did good things, accomplished things? okay, turning now to your headlines. a police officer was killed and if five other people shot after a gunman if took several workers hostage in a pennsylvania hospital saturday. the suspect was killed in a police shootout after walking into the spencetive care unit at upmc memorial if yesterday armed with a pistol and zip ties. police identifying the officer, andrew duarte, who died on the scene. the other two officers who were shot in addition to a doctor, nurse and custodian kwan, are all a now -- custodian are now in stable condition. israel is delaying the release of 602 palestinian prisoners until hamas if guarantees to release ohio hostages, quote, without

humiliating ceremonies, this after hamas was seen mocking several of the hostages released yesterday. meanwhile, today in new york city thousands are reportedly preparing to protest, demanding the release of the remaining hostages and marking what they call 500 days of hell under hamas captivity. the white house confirming that the president trump met with phi if governor kathy hochul on friday. chief among the issues the two discussed was manhattan's controversial congestion tolling which the president ordered to stop just last week. the governor's office says the hour-plus meeting was a, quote, frank, candid conversation about two new york -- new york's key priorities including immigration, infrastructure, offshore wind and nuclear power. and in wisconsin democratic governor tony evers is facing backlash for introducing a budget recommendation that

recommends that changes gendered terms like mother to inseminated person and father to parent in certain parts of state law. the evers' administration advising several other changes including swapping out the term wife or husband for spouse. those are your headlines. to all of you inseminated women out there. rachel: can you imagine? can you imagine? this guy's a weirdo, by the way. he's the governor of wisconsin. he was a former superintendent of schoolsif wisconsin. -- in wisconsin. he's a weirdo. only minute super weird is ask and, like, not connected to humanity and even his own mother would suggest -- i mean, are you going to call your mom an inseminated person? charlie: deeply, totally perverted. there's manager very wrong.. -- something very wrong. it's truly sick. rachel: it's sick.

kevin: what are you thinking? should we all run out and get those inseminated persons' cards in may? [laughter] rachel: please, kids, don't send me one of those. kevin: you know what? it goes back to the same thing that's going on with the maine leadership. there's some issues that are so overwhelming in support of the american people, it doesn't make sense to pick up on something that i don't even know if there's a small minority that wants to have this terminology. but the fact that you're willing to put that out there says a lot more about you than the residents of wisconsin. rachel: you know when donald trump said in that speech everything that joe biden and the left touches turns to shit? here's an example. you take something so beautiful like motherhood, and you want to talk about insemination. charlie: we're just make all a kinds of hallmark cards. [laughter] can conservative yeah. rachel: that's more like april fools. [laughter] a standing ovation at cpac. wyoming's newest congresswoman riled up the crowd last night.

[cheers and applause] rachel: that rousing cpac speech earning congressman harriet hageman a standing ovation yesterday. and as a chair of house anti-woke caucus -- i didn't know we had that caucus, happy to hear about it -- there's no shortage of material to talk about with her. joining me now with more of her message, wyoming congresswoman heir a breath haeggman. -- harriet hageman. good to have you on. >> thank you, rachel. it's good to be here. rachel: a first of all, i know people love you just for being you, but they also love you because it means liz cheney is

gone. explain to me what happened to liz cheney and her dad. what happened? >> they went a different direction, and i think that they believed that donald trump was going to be the past, and if i believe that they were looking at her potentially being speaker of the house and running for president, and that just simply didn't work out. i think she's incredibly frustrated and angry, and i think they miscalculated where the republican party is and where conservatives are. rachel: you know, one of the things i really like about liz cheney is that liz cheney and dick cheney are a remind if -- excuse me, a reminder that there truly is a uniparty washington, d.c., isn't that right? >> yes. i think that really plaid out for all of the world to see this last election -- played out. they were willing to get behind kamala harris, and regardless how yo may feel about donald trump, the last four years have been absolutely a disaster, and she's had -- she's been in the front seat to have the car with joe biden. so the idea that you would support her and and try to put her in the white house is just

stunning to me. rachel: you know, congressman, we just were talking on the couch about peace finally breaking out. this week we may see an end to the war in ukraine. and i think it's probably liz cheney and that uniparty's obsession with war versus trying to find peace and resolution and negotiation that really stands out for me especially at this moment. >> there's big money in war. that's why we call it the military industrial complex. and if there's been big money in all a different kinds of things such as, you know, the censorship industrial complex. we've seen these things play out over the last several years, and one of the things that we can thank president trump for is his pure honesty and transparency and exposing so many of the things in washington, d.c. that people have known existed, that are there, but we've never necessary ifly been able to put our -- necessarily been able to put our finger on them. this is an incredible time. i refer to it as a renaissance. this is a time for us to have a

new beginning and to really right-size our government, to be able to move forward on a policy that is in the best interests of the american citizen. rachel: so, congresswoman, you are part of the anti-woke caucus. tell me what you guys are taking on in that caucus. >> so it is all of the social justice type of things that have sprung up over the last several years that have really undermined the foundation of this this country. we are built on the concept of equality. we are built on the concept that everyone has innate value. we are built on the concept of, you know, entrepreneur ifship and everyone having -- entrepreneurship and everyone having opportunity. this is the hand of opportunity. over the last several years we've had the idea of the government kind of slicing and dicing us based upon to our race a, based upon sexual orientation and sex. it's undermines so much of what america is and, again, it is that land of opportunity where anyone can succeed.

i am am an example of that. i grew up on a ranch outside of a little town in wyoming, and here i am a member of congress. in the united states, you can have that kind of success story. rachel: yeah, absolutely. you mentionedded the military industrial complex. there is a censorship industrial complex, there is a woke-dei industrial complex. there's money being made in all of that, and thankfully we have donald trump, elon musk and, of course, the congress working hand in glove with them to kiss plant-- dismantle those complexes and give the money back to the people perform we thank you for joining us today and fabulous speech last night. you had such a great reception. >> thank you. rachel: you got it. israel delaying a palestinian prisoner if release after a hamas if' humiliating treatment of hostages. we'll ask ask prime minister netanyahu's former chief of staff what's going to happen next.

charlie: we have a fox news alert. israel delaying the release of 620 palestinian terrorists this hamas agrees to stop humiliating spectacles for innocent israeli hostages being released. yesterday in a final act of cruelty, hamas forced two israeli captives to watch their fellow hostages being released before returning them to tunnels. george birnbaum servedded as a chief of staff to prime minister benjamin netanyahu, and he joins us now. thank you for joining us this morning. it's kind of mind-blowing as a spectator to all of this if a civilized country, even if russia were to do something like this, the gates of hell would open, the u.n. would condemn them, and the world would put an end to it. but for some reason, that doesn't seem to happen here. >> well, israel and the jewish people have always a been treated differently than everyone else. history pans that out, and it's

no surprise that even now it's happening. i will say, charlie, you know it's really bad when even the high commissioner for the committee on human rights puts out a statement condemning what hamas did with the coffins of the bibas family expect if other israeli hostages slain in captivity. what they have done both with the living and dead hostages is appalling, and it just speaks to the depravity of hamas and their ideology. of course, i also want your viewers to remember these ceremonies are taking place in front of thousands upon thousands of what most of the world likes to call innocent gazan civilians. they're cheering, applauding, clapping. these are not innocent civilians. these are people who are cheering terrorists and cheering the depraved actses of terrorists and the way they treat living and dead hostages. charlie: so i think you bring up a really important point here because civilized humans look at this and they think it's such a terrible spectacle that makes

hamas look so bad. so you kind of ask yourself, what are they doing this for? what's the propaganda value when all civilized humans around the world who are watching this see it as disgusting? what is the purpose of their doing it? if i think you just touched on it. >> they are trying desperately to and exert if an image that they are still in control. their days have been numbered ever since october 7th, and they will be numbered until if every single last one of them is eliminated from the if face of the earth. israel will not rest even after every hostage is released if can and body returned until these murderous terrorists are eliminated from the if face of the earth. but they are desperately trying to cling on to the power in gaza and show the people of gaza as well as their allies in lebanon and most of all in iran that they are still in power. charlie: so for a lot of us watching, you know, i thought that the bombing campaign for the past year and a half was going to put an end to the hamas if rule. clearly, it has not.

you seem to be confident that that these are their last days. why are you confident of that? >> for one, israel now has a new ally in the white house in donald trump that has given the full support to the prime minister and the israeli people that a whatever israel needs to do to wipe out these terrorists, they have the backing of the white house and of the american people. that goes a long way. and that means that this is not a short game, this is a hong game. and if you remember, charlie, even after the munich massacres in 1972 at the olympics, many of those terrorists thought they were safe for years after the end of the massacre in 1972, and israel stayed the course and took them out eventually. so whether or not this is a matter of days, weeks, months or even years, it's the unclear, but they will be eliminatedded, and they will no longer walk the face of this earth at some point. charlie: well, i hope you're correct. george birnbaum, thank you so much for if join withing us. >> thank you so much. have a good morning. charlie: a live look at the vatican where pope francis remains in create call condition. we have the latest.

prayers, of course, abound globally. fox news contributor jonathan morris joins us now. good to have you with us. >> thank you. chef conservative and this is not, to use an old expression, your first rodeo. you've seen this in your career. >> yeah. i lived nine years in the vatican. i was there when pope john paul ii passed away which was somewhat similar to what's going on, in other words, a prolonged sickness. and just to understand the gravity of this, i've come on "fox & friends" and said many times, listen, yes, there's a health scare, but this is not too serious. i think this is quite serious. let me tell you why. he went in the hospital, and they said he was basically fine. then the vatican said stable, stationary. and now critical. speaking that vatican ese, let's say, i would say that's as serious as we've ever seen the condition of pope francis is. kevin: and and speak of, we had

an interesting opportunity yesterday to chat with cardinal timothy dolan and, obviously, more than a theologian. he's a friend to many not just in this community, or but i think and a nationally. and and i want to share what he said about the grit and the resilience of the pontiff. listen to this. >> look, we've got to be kind of realistic, as he is. when you get double pneumonia in anybody, you're worried. when you've got double knew moan ya in an 88-year-old man who's only got 75% of his lung capacity and is struggling with arthritis and a bunch of stuff, it's not looking good. i admire his grit, i admire his resill yerntion i'm praying with him and for him, but i think we have to be realistic as he certainly is. kevin: i think what he said at the end, jonathan, we have to be realistic, which is to say i think, again, speaking vaticanese, we want him to be restful, peaceful and reflective on the impact he's had on the globe. >> yeah. pope -- just think about someone

whom you love very much who's many a situation like in the hospital. a lot of this, whether he'll make this, make it out of the hospital, whether he will another chapter will depend, i think, a lot on how much he's ready to fight that again or whether he believes this is his time. kevin: yeah. >> a lot of it comes down to doctors, i talked to a doctor about this yesterday, and he said, listen, a lot of it is just whether or not he thinks it's his time. kevin: yeah. >> so we'll see how it plays out. certainly, he's been very resilient. he has spoken in the past he'd be willing to retire, right? to abdicate the throne, so to speak, like pope benedict did. but he's also felt like as a long as he could have the energy to do it, he will continue. kevin: i think prayers continue and not just here locally, but all around the world. and if we certainly appreciation appreciate your expertise, jonathan, thank you. >> thank you very much. kevin: let's head downstairs to rachel. rachel: thank you, kevin. we're going to turn now to your

president trump, for the new tax cuts. i think we're doing a lot more exporting to the other countries as well now that these tariffs are in place. he's going to level the playing field as we all know, and we're grateful to him. we've been inspired by him. he's one of the reasons why we relaunched. and i think, again, times have changed, and in the past people said, oh, you're crazy, made in the usa. you know what? we've proved we can be successful and our partners, the small businesses and vendors that we have, they're reinspired, reinvigorated, and we're all about a, you know, creating and keeping the jobs here in the u.s. kyiv. kevin: hey, david, what's the number one message if you want to share with viewers who will see this piece today? by think it's a real renaissance. i think americans are feeling more patriotic than ever. 30 seconds left, what's your overa arching message this morning? >> well, look, i have -- [inaudible] right behind me, i don't know if you can see it, but once in a while i sit back and look at it and and, you know what is?

read through it, and it kind of takes you back to how our founding fathers actually put this together. and if one of theodore roman's missions, his life mission, was to have each school in the u.s. have one of these right in the entrance for the kids to see every day. as far as a message i'll send a message to the democrats in congress. on me, happily look me up, i'll happily send each one of them a copy. it'll take a little bit because, obviously, you know, recently they just have to be reeducated, i think, in this beautiful living document, the constitution. charlie: if you're interested, go to keep america.com. thank you, dade. rachel: thanks, david. kevin: thank you, david, appreciate that that. pope francis is, meantime, remains in critical condition as he battles a respiratory crisis. we have an update from the vatican at the top of the hour.
