bail. >> sandra: hello and welcome everyone. i am sandra smith, and new york. this is a live event. we will be watching is that unfolds. >> john: i am john roberts and washington. this is "america reports" our number 2. >> sandra: and now this. it was a violent easter weekend in the city of chicago. 7 people shot and killed. another 33 people injured including at least 4 teenage girls. cities across the u.s. are seeing an uptick in juvenile crime. washiwashington, d.c., mayor was parents to be accountable when their kids skip school. an issue that may be contributing to the jump in teen violence. >> john: retrain girls age 12 and 13 have been arrested for allegedly beating a 64-year-old disabled man to death in washington last year. all three suspects are children

with one thing in common, a failure to show up at school. >> sandra: retired nypd inspector on the increase of juvenile crime. mike emanuel that the effort to get kids back in school. live in chicago for us. how big of a concern as this violence we saw over the weekend? >> sandra, publicly, officials are saying that all if nothing about this weekend's violent spirit behind the scenes, there are real concerns that this past week and could potentially serve as a preview of what we could see on a weekly basis this summer when crime typically spikes. that would come just as the national spotlight comes to town for the democratic national convention. this easter weekend city wide, 33 people were shot and 7 people killed in shootings across the city including at least 2 mass shootings on chicago's west side. early sunday morning inside this bar where an unknown person

started shooting at a group of five girls mostly in their teens killing 119-year-old and sending the other 4 girls to the hospital. sunday afternoon not far from that scene, another drive-by shooting. this one in broad daylight. >> look around. there is a bloodstain. nobody bothered to clean up the blood. >> this is the scene where 2 guys with guns pulled up to a group of young men walking down the street and got out and started shooting. sending the other three to the hospital. no arrest in either of those shootings have been made. there is hope for a change the cities crime epidemic with a tough on crime new prosecutor expected to take over kim fox. former illinois appeals court won a very tight race where the democratic nomination over progressive candidate clayton harris who said during the campaign, he didn't plan to make any real changes to the way

prosecutors have handled crime under kim fox. >> sandra: thank you, john. we want washington, d.c., mayor could propose a plan to hold parents accountable for their kids who skip school. some residents hope this will help the district skyrocketing juvenile crime crosses. mike emanuel here with more. what exactly is the mayor looking to do? >> the d.c. mayor says she's not talking about throwing parents in jail that suggest there's a way to tighten up the system. this absenteeism is a huge problem in d.c. schools. 60% of d.c. high school students were chronically absent. that means they missed all or part of the day at least 10% of school days. that's up significantly since before the pandemic. this comes after 3 girls between 12 and 13 years old were arrested for allegedly brutally murmurdering a 60-year-old man.

recorded on a cell phone as "horrific." the attack including using brown's own belt to beat him. all three girls have long-standing truancy issues and now for for a second-degree murder charges and will be tried as juveniles. the judge in the case noting one of the suspects had not attended a single day of school this year. our affiliate fox 5 d.c. spoke with a relative of the victim. >> a nice polite person didn't bother anybody. that is the type of person that he was. >> what is your reaction knowing that a 12-year-old -- >> kind of shocked, and i'm bad they got him. >> crime overall big picture, the d.c. mayor said steps taken are having an impact. >> security c is driving down crime in d.c. violent crime is down for robbery and carjacking is down for use of a gun is down. >> many people no longer feel

safe in washington, d.c. changing that perception is not going to be easy. >> i thought i couldn't get any worse than the juveniles who stole the car and killed a driver and the process. for 12 and 13-year-old girls to beat a 64-year-old man to death, what is going on? >> they saw the video. the kids were evidently shooting while this was going on. awful. >> where is the morality these days? we will see if mayor bowser's plan makes a difference. i'm not sure how you put that into application. a lot of these kids i imagine come from single parent families. >> sandra: fox news contributor just to piggyback on the conversation there. 12 and 13-year-old girls fatally beat this 64-year-old disabled man. you could hardly believe this is happening. as we dig into the story, they have long-standing truancy issues. these kids are not going to

school. nobody is responsible for them. nobody is making them go to school. how do you fix this crisis? >> juvenile stuff is very complicated and difficult. of course, it imports all the issues of family law and who is responsible for these kids removal proceedings and so on and so forth. d.c. is particularly complex. it's under federal jurisdiction. the age of responsibility is generally 18. the feds are not very well configured to handle juvenile crime. it's one of the reasons why carjackings are through the roof in d.c. particularly from progressives, very much in favor of criminal justice reforms like raise the age. when you raise the age, not only do you get more youthful offenders, you get more youthful victims. in this case we have 64-year-old. that is nothing in the stands. here in new york, we have seen it. we've gone from 16 to 18.

statistics track. as you get more youthful offenders, you also get victims in the same age category. >> first, here is the d.c. ma mayor. you just pointed to those stats. for our reporting sake, and his bad ntc. she's making the case that things are getting better. >> crime is down in all categories in washington, d.c. especially those categories that so troubled us last year with a robbery and carjacking down more than 30%. we have done the things that we know will reset our public safety ecosystem. we feel very good that we are moving in the right direction not just with crime but with attendance up in our schools. >> sandra: people in d.c. are going, wait, it's better? better than it was at the worst all-time highs for crime we have ever seen in the city? a few months ago?

>> earlier this year, d.c. was up 40%. the metric comparing it to last year is the mistake. that is bad to worse. you have to go back to 2019 before covid. covid definitely had a negative effect on criminal justice for various reasons. although criminal justice reforms that came out in the wake of the george floyd death. i have to say to call out the mayor, and things are going so great, why did she sign into law and emergency crime bill earlier this year that was put through at lightning speed. why does she put through emergency provisions for youth for better youth monitoring. why is she going after truancy issues? 's fee to do you that'll work? this is "the new york post" on the new york city crime stats. you alluded to some of them. this is something to think about. by last year's fourth quarter, g victims were under the age of

18. fewer than 5% of new yorkers are age 15-17 years old. according to the latest stats, teens under 18 are responsible for roughly 15-20% of robberies. this is a tiny segment of the population that is committing a lot of the crime. this is the new york city mayor talking about my grandchildren. they are not in school. we have all these migrant families that have come to new york city. they are selling candy on the same way. >> i saw that in ecuador and mexico and colombia. sometimes people bring their culture and how practices are done into the city. we want to make sure that people understand. >> we've got that problem. i want to end with this. we know that the suspect is due in court. we have this live shot corner of your screen any moment now. we are keeping our eye on this.

this was stephanie diller of the widow over the weekend at the funeral. listen here. >> it has been 2 years and 2 months since the detectives made the ultimate sacrifice just like my husband, jonathan diller. he stood in front of all the elective officials leading for change grow that change never came. now my son will grow up without his father. i will grow old without my husband. his parents have to say goodbye to their child. how many more police officers and how many more families need to make the ultimate sacrifice before we start protecting them? >> sandra: absolutely heartbreaking. we were about to see that suspect in court. >> that suspect had well over a dozen priors. out on a loaded gun charge on bail despite having a previous attempted murder conviction that puts the members of that car well into 3 dozen priors. you and i have talked about this

so many times. this revolving door justice is just not working. you have to say, at what point? the real culprits. it's not very interesting, but it happens in the legislatures. we need to pressure albany. illinois as well. there is a reason chicago is in the shape that it is in. the safety act. behind closed doors where none of us see what goes on, they passed these laws and so they can feel good about themselves so they can virtue signal and control a portion of the electorate. the people they claim to be helping other people who died. >> sandra: like her husband john of an diller. i appreciate you joining us. all this as we do await those live shots there at the courthouse following the funeral of jonathan diller. >> john: the thin red line flag. at some point, common sense has to prevail. you go soft on crime, there's not going to be less of it. there's going to be more of it.

people know there are no consequences for it. god bless diller's family. fox news alert out of houston where we are waiting for an update in a drug trafficking bus to lead to a major trafficking cartel for that press conference just getting underway. we are told that this is going to involve a significant round of arrests and charges. we are watching that for you to see what comes out of it. >> we've got some -- it.>> john: how legal cases are challenging diversity initiatives in the workplace. we are breaking it down with professor charlie coming up next. veteran homeowners checked your credit card rates lately? many are over 22%, near 30% if you pay late. why not do what thousands of veteran families have done. call newday and pay off

>> it has been one year since bud light's controversial partnership with transgender influencer dylan mulvaney. tank the beer brands sales and revenues. live outside. a distributor in philadelphia has bud light tries to bounce back. when we hearing, jeff? >> not so much, sandra, in terms of a bounce back. they may have regained a few folks but not so hot. that is leading to now, they are selling less bud light. they are getting less elves may switch kind of good lead to less sales too. take a look at the numbers that one distributor told us about between ten percent and 15% of shelf space. they lost their show status to modelo. the relationship during march madness which typically

refers to madness on the basketball court. some people said it was madness to get involved in this relationship. other people were upset that they bailed out of it so quickly. not only did they get the people that were angry with their relationship mad at them, within the people who thought it was a good idea got mad at them too also. lgbtq people do drink beer after all. it was a lose-lose. 1.4 billion with a b dollars is what the estimate estimated lost was last year in terms of lost sales. the marketing folks say there is a lesson in this. >> you pick your issues. you pick where you want to go. you thoughtfully do it. if you're going to go there, be ready to stand up for rent. that is where it all unwound with bud light. inadvertently walking into something that was more controversial than they thought and not following through. >> john: it is worth noting,

sandra, that this backlash came primarily in north america. if you look at sales around the world of bud light and their other products, south america, they were out 30% last year. europe, middle east, africa. it was just here in north america where they took the big hit. north america is their biggest market. still selling bud light, but not quite as much as they used to. sometimes, it is a lose-lose. >> sandra: that has been fascinating to watch. they have tried and tried to come back from it. great to see you. thank you. john. >> john: most expensive can of beer ever. legal challenges speaking of backlashes, may finally be catching up with de&i in the workplace as discrimination lawsuits make their way through the courts. both companies scale back their diversity programs or try to skirt around them?

let's bring in jonathan turley. fox news contributor. on the subject of legal challenges catching up with de&i initiatives, "the wall street journal" editorial board highlighted one particular legal case. they had this headline in the editorial. "you can't fire only about white guys. juries get called wants it deterrence to discrimination." fired for no reason, no apparent reason from a multimillion dollar medical group and was replaced by a minority woman. a jury found that he had been discriminated against and awarded him a whole lot of money, professor. >> that included punitive damages. the punitive aspects but upholding the award. this is really something we are seeing across the country. corporations, universities are all fighting to keep de&i initiatives. when they get into court, they

are very often declared what they are, racial discrimination. you can't have this direct racial component that you want simply someone because of their race or gender. you exclude others. that is what was involved in this case. we are seeing this played out in court after court. it is interesting how hard and this silo is in academia and incorporations. they are still not giving up fear they would rather be pulled into court. it means that executives and professors have had to go through years of litigation. they went back, but there is still this resistance. a university official or a corporate official really loves the idea of being they want to say, we are going to have to pull back on de&i. we are going to have to be more modest and how we approach these things to try to balance these equities. all of that can bring a cancel campaign against you.

it has direct personal impact. it is a failure of courage to some degree. >> as you point out in your column, sometimes they are forced to backtrack. the university of minnesota was a classic example. minnesota law school dropped exclusions of whites and males from diversity scholarship to white and male students after a complaint was filed against it. you write "despite being created by a law firm, jones day administered by a law school, the fellowship violated federal law and excluding white and male applicants. my first question is, is that the place you want to get your legal degree from? how many other places may be forced to do that? >> minnesota is a fine law school. that makes this troubling. you have one of the greatest law firms in one of the greatest law schools thing we should discriminate on the basis of race. you have a supreme court amplify

that discriminating on race is not allowed in admissions at universities. this shows how hardened that silo truly is. the concern for many is all they did in the settlement was remove that language. they still have the scholarship which is based on these diversity goals. the assumption is they are just not going to say that part out loud. an application, they are going to be a discriminatory impact. >> suggesting how businesses can get around of these challenges to de&i. it basically boils down to this. rather than giving preference to some groups, organizations can explore de&i actions that are identity neutral but remove bias from the workplace. these approaches do not list certain groups above others but leveled the playing field for everybody. that is suggested. de&i is not going to go away. it may just change the way it is applied.

>> john: partner of the issue here is if you go to universities for example, these are really large offices that have been established and expanded. these are people that work all day long to try to create diversity which is a noble goal. it also means that you have got this bureaucracy that is sort of unrelenting in some areas that really raise constitutional concerns. there is a crisis of courage here. it is very hard to get a university official to walk that cat backwards to say we want to pursue diversity goals, but we need to stay clear of racial discrimination. it is just a lot easier to achieve those goals by saying, we won't consider males or whites. it's not that easy. that is what the supreme court has repeatedly said. >> john: many other courts as well. professor, great to catch up with you. thank you so much.

>> sandra: buying a home is out of reach for millions of americans. can the american dream still be achieved? plus this. >> we have the best economy in the world. we have to make it better. we really do have the best economy of the world. >> john: is his message failing to resonate with the voting block that he may need the most? steve moore and robert wolf to discuss coming up next. i hear it all the time. people tell me they'd love to buy gold. but because it's gold - they think it must be complicated. it isn't. not with rosland capital. with rosland... the entire process from start to finish is built on one concept... one... keep... it... simple. rosland capital - a trusted leader in helping people acquire precious metals. gold bullion, lady liberty gold and silver proofs, and our premium coins, can help you preserve your wealth. call rosland capital at 800-630-8900

>> sandra: fox news alert to a courthouse in queens, new york. this is happening right now. the suspect in the nypd murder of jonathan diller is right now appearing in court. our comments were just allowed inside. this is one of the two suspects involved in the shooting of the nypd detective diller. guy rivera is charged with the murder of diller and the attempted murder of his partner

in the traffic stop. our cameras just got inside of the court room. we are going to continue to watch this if we can go to this live when it begins, we will certainly do that and keep you posted. >> what do you say to those folks about the economy and what is going on? >> we have the best economy in the world and we have to make it better. >> john: president biden touting the strength of the economy. buying a home is getting more and more out of reach for americans. gerri willis' got more on this. how hard has a gotten? >> you have to have a six-figure income to do it. are you ready for this? the average home buyer needs to make over $100,000 to for the average home where the required salary to make that purchase has jumped 46% in just 4 years. home buyers only needed to make $76,000 back in 2020.

the issue widespread. you need a six-figure salary to buy the average home within 23 states including the district of columbia. 4 years ago, that number was just 6. mortgage have played a small role in t the bomb. kept pace with the needed salary. the average home at 42% sitting at $412,000. even though the housing market may be pricing people out, people shouldn't be too quick to think that renting is the solution since president biden took office, rent is up 21%. where do you need to make the most to buy the average home? you guessed it, california tops the list. you need almost $200,000 to buy the average home, followed by hawaii, massachusetts, and washington state. the cheapest state in the nation, mississippi. you can buy the average home they're earning $63,000 a year.

back to you. >> john: there are some places where it is reasonably affordable. >> sandra: brand-new polling shows young americans don't seem to agree with president biden that the american economy is working for them. let's bring in our economic panel. steve moore and robert wolf. looking forward to this week. good to have you guys here. the reason i say for example, robert, i will start with you first. ages 18-34. 40% say this is the problem for the economic problems are the most pressing issues for them. 55 and older, that number goes down. why is it that this administration still says this is the right way to go? >> you can say it is the right way to go but not be where you want to be yet. it's true that the u.s. economy is the best versus all other global economies. much better off than where we were in wages and consumer sentiment.

you and i both know inflation has kept -- has reared its ugly head for a while. we have long tail inflation. these are what impacts people each and every day the most. it's not surprising that they are looking at the economy with the nervous side. >> sandra: i had someone text me this morning someone very smart who said there is no way the fed is going to be able to cut rates in this economic environment when you still got employment where it is. you've got the stock market at all-time highs. you still got prices sky high. how is this an environment where we are even considering the fact that the federal reserve will be able to cut rates leave? >> i don't see the logic and that right now. i would love to say that we could cut rates and provide stimulus to the economy. right now, prices are not coming down. if you look at what is happened to come commodity prices which is a lead indicator of where all prices are going, they are up 13

or 14% already this year. no gold price has been rising. doubled in its price because people are losing confidence in the dollar. i want to go back to something my friend robert wilson said. this has been the highlight of my week. i love being on with you guys. why is it young people are feeling more worried about the future than older people? i just turned 64. this $33 trillion national debt, i'm not going to repay that. i am too old. it's can they be that young people. they are the ones who will inherit this gigantic debt. the joke is on them. i think they get it. >> sandra: i think they do. you wonder if that is bad form by then. i will let you answer that question while we also look at the numbers that gerri willis does show this. is it becoming unaffordable to own a home? look how expensive it is to rent a home.

what do you say about the american dream? >> it is still possible but it's more tough. let me take that and 2 quick parts. on the housing side, you and i haven't talking about it. last supply, demand is still high. their mortgage rate, they don't want to go from 4% to 7%. there is not that transferability and mobility that we had for the last years. the second part on the polling. i am very positive on where president biden is today. i don't look at the polls is much as i look at how people have voted. if you look at the votes taken since the dobbs case, it has been clear that democrats have outperformed by 8%. the recent alabama vote, the recent ohio boat, virginia vote. i think there's going to be more than just the economy. i like debating the economy each and every week. i know there's going to be some highs and lows.

>> sandra: on this "wall street journal" piece this morning and that genera generation zers. i think this is fascinating. it talks about young workers going into trades as disenchantment with the college track continues and rising pay and new technologies shine plumbing and electrical jobs. i mean, that is fascinating. rising pay new technology fields are giving trade professionals a face-lift. this is welcome news, isn't it? >> absolutely. i have set for 25 years that the biggest financial rip-off in america's how much universities are charging versus people to get a sociology or psychology degree or ethnic studies degree that it is worthless. if you have a useful skill in this economy, you've got welders and pipe fitters and electricians that are making over $100,000. having a skill is so important.

i believe in a liberal arts education. is it really worth $200,000 to get an education where you are not really trained to do anything? i want to make other point on the housing. is very simple. >> sandra: steve, i've got to wrap you there. breaking news. the courthouse hearing in queens. the suspect in the jonathan diller murder has walked into the courtroom there in queens. can we hear anything? let's step in and listen here. [microphone feedback] >> the office district attorney. >> assistant district assistant district attorney. >> assistant district attorney. [indistinct] >> lindsay childs on the --

[indistinct] for mr. jones. and this [indistinct] >> good afternoon, judge. your honor, the attorney of record on the old case. >> you are asking to be relieved -- be assigned 71476. >> most respectfully, yes, judge. >> with respect to the newer case -- >> yes, i provided a copy of those.

jones had been indicted. cr -- 0-24. the district attorney 729 of 2024. that has been filed. in order to make a 560 application under subset 1, i'm going to ask the court to consider unsealing that record today in order to be able to rely on that -- in 2024. a copy -- to the court. >> [indistinct] >> i did provide a copy to mr. singer, yes. >> any objection, mr. singer? and will be assigned.

you don't have to -- >> i don't have a copy to provide to the court. >> we need to put this case over -- correct? >> -- yes. >> for them, and it's going -- is that correct? >> that is correct. 416. >> yes. >> 416 on that case will be continued. with respect to the original case, which is 71476.23, that case was -- my understanding is, there was a hearing posture.

recent relatively support of the case. versus -- allows the court to pass authorities to apply 36-point someone application. >> yes. subsection 1. >> your honor, now provided documentation. the defendant has been indicted on the matter for charges a criminal possession of weapons in the second degree. sub settings as well as possession of a weapon in the third degree. just by way of background of that, that is as a relates to a --

it was the card of the defendant was driving when the pass passenger -- firearm had fired killing the police officer. jonathan diller. for contests and not as it relates to his defendant who is not charged with that. the strength of the people's case is extremely strong as it relates to that. possession of weapon in the second degree. the defendant -- within earshot of a police officer. the 101st precinct. there is another gun and the c car. that is why i am still here. presumption -- clear indication

to knowledge of the second firearm in the car. as it relates to the old case, that's when a 23 indictment, that case is over. there was no one else in the car when that gun was discovered. it was directly -- cell phone later that was his. and the car is registered to the defendant. there was dna that links the defendant directly to one of the swabs from the firearm. this of course is all as it relates to -- which i ask this court to reconsider the original $75,000 bail. instead -- not because of the case is very strong, but because he faces 15 years -- each of these 2 indictments. and -- 70.25.

that would be a maximum of 30 years if he were to be convicted on both of these matters. in 2023 indictments, he also -- car was registered to him. not just that a phone -- was his own phone. but specifically as a relates to the intent to use -- indi indicated -- "i shoot people." ctaking all that into consideration. as well as multiple parole violations. on a case where he served 10 years. multiple times, convictions on his rap sheet. attempted murder in the second degree. they case involving the

defendant firing three shots. twice in the chest and once in the leg. the severed carotid artery in the first degree which was under subset 2 on 1615 specifically requiring deadly weapons used in the firearm in that case. all of that is relevant in the standard to consider and reconsidering subset 1. control necessary to ensure return to court in this manner. >> mr. singer. >> no response, your honor. >> based on the record made by the people, the defendant in this case substantial time -- predicated at least on the 2023 ks. i do believe he faces significant risk of light. >> sandra: we will continue to

watch this scene in queens, new york, live out of the courtroom where the suspect in the murder of jonathan diller, the nypd officer who was killed in the line of duty appears there in court, john. just a horrific scene that we all have in our minds as we watch him stand there and those beautiful pictures of his family just gone too soon leaving behind his 1-year-old son, jonathan diller. >> john: it was a week ago, he was investigating a car that was illegally parked. 2 individuals inside pier this is the driver of the car. the passenger was no one that allegedly shot officer diller. his widow stephanie and his funeral on saturday ripping city officials for allowing crime to explode out of control. we will see if this has any impact whatsoever on what city leaders do to finally crackdown on crime. >> sandra: we will keep monitoring this, john. >> john: the white house

doubles down on his handling of transgender day of visibility despite it bellowing on easter sunday. caitlyn jenner on why so many people felt disrespected by the president. >> sandra: and easter vigil at a cathedral, the cathedral here in new york city. will they face consequences? if you have chronic kidney disease you can reduce the risk of kidney failure with farxiga. because there are places you'd like to be. farxiga can cause serious side effects, including ketoacidosis that may be fatal, dehydration, urinary tract, or genital yeast infections, and low blood sugar. a rare, life-threatening bacterial infection in the skin of the perineum could occur. stop taking farxiga and call your doctor right away if you have symptoms of this infection, an allergic reaction, or ketoacidosis. ♪ far-xi-ga ♪

>> this happened just after noon. the fbi saying the driver of a vehicle crashed into the gate of their atlanta headquarters in chamblee georgia which is northeast of downtown atlanta. you can see that vehicle. it looks like it might be an infiniti suv crashed into that web shaped barricade. an fbi bearcat vehicle on the scene. there's another one as well. the bureau says "vehicle rammed into the employee entrance with the driver attempting to enter the facility. nobody was injured in all of this. the fbi and police tried to determine what and the world that guy did this. >> you're left wondering. how you're going to get past that for any of us who have seen these fbi offices. they are heavily guarded and gated.

this person decided to go straight through. but was stopped by that gate. this was the employee entrance where that person tried to enter the facility and was shortly after detained by agents and has been arrested by the county police. >> john: short of having a tank with dreads, getting over one of those wedge barricades is nigh impossible. particularly in a vehicle like that. those are up all the time unless an unauthorized vehicle was allowed to proceed. then they drop down into the ground. it would be impossible for a normal vehicle to get through. the fact that somebody had the intention of crashing into it and an attempt to get into the facility. we don't know that person jumped out of the car and attempted to enter the facility. that person clearly had something in mind. you can see the airbags deployed there as well which is not unusual.

>> sandra: you can imagine this all happened very quickly. the arm of the that was there or approach is seen almost instantly after this happened. we are also told that this happened just after the noon hour in atlanta. these are the pictures that are just coming into us out of atlanta outside of an fbi office and a person has tried to breach the employee entrance and tried to enter the facility and has since been detained and arrested. this is an investigation that is ongoing. >> john: we have seen this in the past. somebody flew an airplane into an irs building. we saw the horrible attack at oklahoma city against the federal building there. federal buildings have long been a target of either domestic terrorists or people who are disgruntled. we can only imagine at this point what this person's issue was. they seemed pretty determined to try to get inside this facility.

we don't know if that gate was actually the black gate was actually open or if that person crashed through it. it doesn't seem to be damaged in any way. perhaps someone else and enter the facility. that car ran through the open gate before it closed. madison's carpino is in their bureau. what do we know about this at that point? >> right now as you guys can see, the only thing we know is that the car crashed into that entrance. the bomb squad is on scene right now. we are monitoring everything that we can. we do know that this happened just afternoon. an individual rammed into the employee entrance according to the fbi here in atlanta. then it tried to enter the facility. he was detained by agents. thankfully, no one was injured. the subject is being arrested. as you mentioned, still working to get as much information as possible and we will absolutely keep you updated with the latest

developments. >> sandra: this happened just afternoon. we are getting life pictures now. they put a chopper up in the air with this scene still looks the way that it does after they have arrested this vehicle. according to the latest out of our affiliate peerless suspect has has not been identified yet. you can imagine he isn't questioning right now and really important to point out that nobody has been injured, cor correct? >> that is correct. according to the fbi, no one is injured as of right now as you just said. all we know is that someone is arrested. working to find out who that is in a little bit more about if they have any relation to the fbi headquarters or if they were just a civilian. very scary situation. bomb squad is still on scene. no confirmation as to what that is about. we will keep you guys and then die with everything we learn in the coming minutes and hours. >> no indication from the fbi

that there was any kind of explosive in the car. you want to use an abundance of caution. this person had some of nefarious intent. nicole as we mentioned just a moment ago, the fbi, other federal agencies have long been the target of people who are either very disgruntled or have terroristic intent. what do you make of what we're seeing now on the screen? >> i am watching it live as y'all are watching it as well. i have colleagues that serve in the atlanta division of the fbi. getting into an fbi office is extremely high-security. we have certain systems, cars, codes. there are multiple layers of security that you have to go through in order to get into those gates. for someone to ram through, this is an individual that was determined that regardless of the rules, they were trying to make it through.

there are security officers and police officers right on the scene. there are guard gates. we have multiple gates that you can go through. very high security surveillance cameras everywhere. i am glad this individual was arrested. this is not the first time this is happened in an fbi field office. >> sandra: we appreciate you jumping on the break for us. we hope to get an update soon. we will get that to our viewers when we have it. nicole, thank you. madison, thank you as well. we are watching is in an rammed the employee visits, and transfer the suspect has been arrested and detained by agents. we are waiting to hear anything more about this. when we get that, we will bring it to you. >> john: on the white house taking aim at lawmakers who are slamming the administration for marking transgender day of visibility on easter sunday. our next guest said that she is disgusted by the move. let's bring in caitlyn jenner.

fox news contributor. in the past, you have celebrated transgender day of visibility. this year you are saying they should not have done it on easter or should not promoted it. what is your concern? >> well, my only concern -- first of all, the transgender day of visibility is fine. i have used it in the past. it's fine. trans people are okay. my number one problem with this whole thing is is proclamation. president biden never should have done it. if he said nothing, it would've been fine. i firmly believe that the left -- they constantly look at the media and how they can manipulate things. it is a shame. here joe biden is supposed to be a devout christian, a devout catholic. to be honest with you, what he did is really left the metal finger at all people of religion.

even the d.c. archbishop on this weekend on "face the nation" called him a cafeteria catholic. meaning, he uses religion when it's convenient for him. that is exactly what he did. it is just a shame. this is really about again the democrats, the left destroying the family structure. destroying religion. took the religious symbols off the easter eggs in the white house easter egg hunt. it is just all about trying to destroy religion. what do they want? they want their religion to be government. it is a shame that the trans community is being used like this. >> john: we have 30 seconds left. a spokesman for the white house said going against this is cruel, hateful, and dishonest rhetoric. he's basically saying, what you are saying is cruel, hateful,

and dishonest -- which i find quite ironic. >> it is not. >> it's dishonest what president biden is doing and his proclamation. >> sorry were cut short by the breaking news we will see you again. >> okay. >> okay. sandra. >> that does it for us. a fast 2 hours good to be back with you today john. >> could be back as well spring break was refreshing did a lot of fun things in natural but back to work now. >> love it. by the way i'll see everyone at 4:00 o'clock thank you for joining us some centrist myth. >> i'm john roberts see you at 4 right now the story with trays gallagher smack good afternoon everyone i am traced gallagher in for martha mccallum. this is the story of patrick henry benevolent association speaking after the suspect in the fatal shooting of nypd officer found at the end till her was in court watch
