"fox & friends." that's the easiest part of the show. dwayne the rock johnson tells us in exclusive interview how he really feels four years after endorsing president joe biden. >> with the state of

plus, new york inmates locking up the deal to view the solar eclipse. they went to court and they won. >> lawrence: unbelieve it or not "fox & friends" starts right now. and, remember, mornings are better with friends. ♪ taking what they're giving because i'm working for a living ♪ hey i'm not complaining ♪ because i really need the work ♪ but. >> brian: this is interesting. i didn't request in music. if i had a choice i would have because, to me, that is new york. and steve, you may remember. >> ainsley: that's atlanta. and you are working for a living. >> brian: huey lewis and the news i really feel is in heart of new york even though he is from san francisco. remember he was here? >> steve: yeah, a couple of times. >> brian: i felt as though he felt really at home here. >> steve: i think he came once with peter grape bar and grill and once with peter frampton and once with kevin costner. >> ainsley: how do you remember all of this? >> steve: listen, somebody has to remember it. i'm the archive. >> brian: this is the one fear. this is what he had. he had his first album come out and it killed. i think he had four number ones. how do you do a second? >> that's why i do not want to hit a high ever in my career. a high right here. and i think i have accomplished that. >> lawrence: i think you have accomplished that. >> brian: thank you. where with were we yan the rock johnson sat down with will second time in six weeks. >> steve: great entertainer as is dwayne "the rock" johnson he was a wwe wrestler, big career, then he became a movie star. it's interesting. some people, and there he is sitting down with will in philly. >> brian: smallest table ever. >> steve: wrestle mania tomorrow and the next day down in philly. they talked about a wide range of topics. one thing of interest. remember a couple years ago dwayne "the rock" johnson would be great if he ran for president. and then people were surmising maybe, he will. well, as it turns out. he didn't run. but he did in the last cycle actually tell people who he was going to vote for. watch this. >> will: are you happy that you made that endorsement in 2020? are you happy with the state of america? >> am i happy with the state of america right now? that answer is no. do i believe we are going to get better? i believe in that. i'm optimistic guy. i believe we can get better. the endorsement that he made years ago with biden was one i thought was the best decision for me at that time. and i thought back then when we talk about, hey, you know, i'm in this position where i have some influence and it's my job then -- i felt like that then, it's my job now to exercise my influence and share with -- this is who i'm going to endorse. am i going to do that again this year? that answer is no. >> ainsley: he is the most followed american man globally on social media. he is a third generation wrestler. his father was a wrestler. his grandfather was. both of them have been inducted into the wwe hall of fame. his dad rocky johnson was the first black champ in wwe history. is he inducting his grandmother into the wwe hall of fame. >> steve: that's cool. >> will: powerful statement but not a shocking statement when you look at the numbers now when it comes to black males in the democratic party right now. they are losing support. some are going to donald trump and some of them are saying that they are going to go home. as politicians should be doing, they should be casting a wide net to all americans and trying to get them. but, because our political system is the way it is, they focus on blocks or as the biden administration says coalitions and it looks like it's fracture right now. and it's because of the economy. it's because of the economy, and each group is signaling to the biden administration, besides black women, honestly, that we're done. >> brian: i think it is, i think that's part of it as just an american. the other party is, my goodness, why did i take a side? i need 100 percent of americans look at me as a nonpolitical figure. i do movies. i do wrestlerring. wrestling. thought he was conservative. then joe biden. then he has trump derangement syndrome. the economy was a lot better. the movie industry was a lot better. and maybe the pandemic we were so critical of president trump on. maybe it was really tough. because of, when joe biden took over more people died with the vaccine than trump had before a vaccine. so i think people were caught up in the moment and he said i'm going to take a risk. all my friends don't like donald trump and now is he looking back and going what was i thinking? >> ainsley: the actor rap port on the beemps of tel aviv saying he was not going to -- he wasn't going to vote for joe biden. now you hear the rock saying he is not going to endorse him this time. >> steve: what rap port said voting for trump is on the table. and he will doesn't say he is not going -- we're talking about now. >> lawrence: things are going back. >> steve: doesn't say is he not going to vote for joe biden next time. what he is saying is he took -- i think, in reading what he said and watching will's interview, and we got more of will interview coming up. i think he just took a lot of heat. and, brian, to your point, if the country is half and half, half the country didn't like the fact that he said vote for the other guy. and so, all he is saying is i'm not going to tell you who i'm going to vote for. he is just not going to endorse anybody. he is not saying i'm going to vote for trump or i'm not going to vote for biden. he said i'm not going to tell anybody. >> ainsley: not happy with the state of the country. >> lawrence: irthink it's hard to. that's the most critical i have seen him of joe biden ever. i think it's hard to be critical of him and then turn out and say hey, i'm going to vote for him after a statement like that. i regret the endorsement. i don't think things are going well. but, to your point, ainsley, about the buyer's remorse, i think it's convenient for a lot of people in the country at the time to say hey, mean tweets, we need him to slow down the tone when the economy was going well. and the border was secure. and i think a lot of people. >> steve: you are talking about trump? >> lawrence: exactly. a lot of the people got caught up in the moment of the personality of the men because things were okay for us. >> brian: for three and a half years they said he was illegitimate president russia put into the white house. hillary clinton never stopped saying it. adam schiff never stopped saying it. investigations never stopped. switched to the ukraine impeachment and then a pandemic. in between the military got stronger. abraham accords put together. the debt went up, got it, but tax reform really started fueling the economy. unemployment was more than respectable. it was definitely tolerable. i will say this. i always look at the rock as pro-military. he was the first one to tweet out someone contacted him about bin laden's death and he tweeted out something to the effect i have never been prouder to be an american. and i always thought to myself in my mind this guy is really legitimate. >> ainsley: is he only 51 years old. i love him because the that wanna song he sings. a movie and the little kids love it. when you watch him on social media so cute he does tea parties with his daughter. >> steve: look to him for wrestling and not political endorsements this cycle. >> brian: also what we have in common with the rock and what i have in common? triceps. we both have enormous triceps. >> steve: brian, i showed you the picture of me without a shirt. so yesterday lawrence lawrence are you red jr., brian? >> brian: i will have to cut off a sleeve. steve you are good at that you cut my tie one time. you said it was too long. >> steve: you said the tie was too long. >> brian: you had no choice. >> lawrence: we will have more with the rock later on in the show. now to the latest on the migrant squatter showdown in the bronx. >> steve: that's right. fox news went inside the apartment that was taken over by suspects who also face drug and gun charges and the landlord is pleading for help. >> ainsley: brooke singman is here with all the details for us. brook? brook brook 8 illegal migrants arrested and removed from the house last week. the owner of the home is calling on the government for help after attempting to evict these migrants for months. >> i should give them more power. >> police able to arrest the migrant when they are doing criminal stuff. should give power to the local police. >> this video shot by fox news shows the homeowner's property trashed. garbage and suitcases seen covering the floor of the home where eight migrants were squatting. the land lord said the migrants never had a key to the property, instead they broke i basement windows to gain access. on wednesday, police had to rearrest three migrants when they returned to the property after being released without bail. new york city police department chief of patrol john says these policies are dangerous. listen. >> this puts our cops in danger. we shouldn't be dealing with this a second time. we dealt with it once by great work. and great work again. it also could be the opposite where we get hurt and the community gets hurt. whether people walk out of jail or walk out of released on own recognizance or supervised release the community suffers also. brook brook during the initial raid police found drugs, scales and handguns. he now is fearing for his life. >> steve: thank you very much, brooke. one of the reservation he said that he did call the cops and one of the migrants staring at him and they go like this. >> ainsley: to his throat. >> steve: land lord goes to the cop can you do something about that? he said no, he didn't do anything to you. the landlord told nate foy before the migrants moved in the water bill on that unit was $250 a month. when they were in the -- all eight of them using that particular apartment. it went from $250 a month to $1,300 a month. and he couldn't pay the water bill. so he has been calling the water department. >> ainsley: shut it off. >> steve: he wants to keep the water on so he can rent it out to other people. they said so sorry pal, you will have to pay for it. they are out now. >> ainsley: when they were in there. >> steve: now he owes the money that's the problem. >> brian: people live upstairs. if you shut the water people live upstairs. do you realize this is everything we have been discussing squatting number one. illegal immigrants number two, law enforcement number three, lack of recidivism because they all have guns. >> ainsley: unable to pay bills. >> brian: everything. then you have the cops come in and go yeah i have got to take these guys down up for murder charges. should have never been let in. put on military vest walk blindly into a basement apartment and find guns and drugs descriewn everywhere? have we learned anything? most of them let out without bail despite the d.a. saying you need to give them bail. this has everything that we have been discussing. >> lawrence: all the residents in the community complaining for months about what was happening and they couldn't get any response because they were illegals. anyway, the reason why we are talking about this because of how these folks got here, illegally across the border. and governor abbott was in town. and if you guys may remember. >> brian: might still be. >> lawrence: may still be here. >> ainsley: for a fundraiser. >> lawrence: here for a fundraiser. being honored by the new york g.o.p. this scandal has been misreported. so adams went after abbott at the time whether it came to the migrant flights. but, at the time, the governor has to adjust it that he would send migrants there. he wasn't sending them at the time. the flights were actually biden flights. so, after that criticism from the mayor, governor abbott said if you are already criticizing me then i'm going to start busing people to your city. the scandal played out. there was some back and forth between the offices. and now adams is taking on abbott again. this is what the governor had to say back to adams though, watch. >> i'm going to offer him a stay in one of the hers. so he can see what he has created and understand how we are treating people with the digdignity and respect that he showed have shown as well. >> invitation is nothing more than a gimmick. what i would suggest to the mayor of new york is there are people dying on his watch, law enforcement officers for being gunned down by people who have been arrested 20 times. he needs to take charge and make sure they keep behind bars, dangerous criminals who are killing his fellow new yorkers. he also needs to educate americans and new yorkers why he is spending their taxpayer money to house migrants here illegally because of joe biden's open border policies. >> ainsley: the invitation he is talking about, mariucci adams invited the texas governor, greg abbott, said hey, while you are here in new york city why don't you sleep in one of our migrant shelters so you can see what you created? and abbott is, as you said in the city for this annual republican fundraiser there are 180,000 migrants that have come here to new york city since adams' term as mayor. greg abbott in texas said we have been dealing with this. you all are criticizing our state. do you know what? why don't y'all share in some of the problems. why don't you fund some of these migrants coming across our border because it is joe biden's crisis. don't blame it on me. blame it on this administration. >> steve: ainsley, i'm glad you brought the number up. there are 180,000 migrants here in new york from the latest invasion on joe biden's watch. of the 180,000, texas has only bused in 4 # 4,000. so like 140,000 others got here on their own or got here through joe biden's programs and stuff like that. and one of the things that the current governor of texas said last night at the fundraiser down in for the republicans he said he would continue to bus migrants until we get a new president. >> brian: so mayor adams has called out this president and the white house generally and it's got him exiled. >> lawrence: campaign. >> brian: most of his ire towards governor abbott. governor abbott is basically, steve, as you said 140,000 a year. 180 overall. mayor adams sitting there with million dollars suit saying welcome to new york. shake, give me a hug. we got some pasta for you. >> steve: but, remember, his first bus trips were to washington, d.c. >> brian: kamala harris' place. >> steve: kamala hadn't been to the border. >> brian: we covered it live. >> steve: we did. griff was there. pulled up to the observatory where the vice president lived. i will show what you it looks like. he started sending them here. >> brian: they were in route here and beginning half full and now they are packed. right now fox stimed citizens joe biden took over 7.3 million illegals that we know of, forget about the got aways it has goss there city. supposed to cost our city $10.6 billion by fiscal year 2025. if you are now a family of four, that's with two kids and you imagine two parents, we have this new pilot program where you get $350 a week. you get a loaded debit card and you can go spend as you will while giving you free room because evidently you don't like our food so you have been throwing it out. we will let you shop a little. a big magnet. >> lawrence: while kids in harlem, the bronx, some parts of brooklyn are struggling, we are going to give the migrants more than them disgusting. ainsley: if we're going to give them out give them to americans. >> steve: yeah. at the same time, and starting in just a couple of weeks, the city of new york is going to reward all of us with congestion pricing so that if you drive exactly where we are sitting, which we all have to do in the morning, have you got to pay a tax of about 15 bucks. >> lawrence: what a great place to live. >> brian: 15 in, 15 out. going to effect everybody's prices. the firefighters and cops that have to live outside the city. >> ainsley: uber drivers. the taxies. >> steve: migrants will have to pay, too. >> brian: i'm sure. hochul says i need $2.4 billion in my next budget. adams says if you get that, i still need 600 million more to pay for the illegal aliens. while they squat and threaten homeowners it's crazy. >> ainsley: city suing 17 bus drivers. >> brian: not a person on city council thinks this is a bad idea. they vote to the left of mayor adams. >> ainsley: new overnight secretary of state antony blinken welcomes stepping taken by israel as the israeli cabinet approves the opening of three aid corridors into gaza. the move comes after president biden's hour long call with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. >> he underscored as well an immediate cease-fire is essential to stabilize and improve the humanitarian situation and protect innocent civilians and he urged prime minister netanyahu to empower negotiators to conclude a deal without delay to bring the hostages home. >> ainsley: this comes after idf airstrike killed seven aid workers in gaza. one construction worker is dead. three others injured after part of a crane collapsed down in florida. a section of that machine fell on the third avenue bridge in fort lauderdale, landing on two cars and nearly splitting one of them in half. the worker who died fell from the crane. officials say the platform that held the equipment failed during a routine process. the incident left a hole in the bridge, which remains closed in both directions. police in panama city, florida are warning spring breakers to stop causing problems. big groups of teenagers from georgia have monday the beach community. and authorities saying, quote, unless they start treating our community with respect like they would their own homes, we will be compelled to find them a temporary home in our detention facility. and if you are curious what police are doing deter out-of-control spring breakers watch cops spring break now on fox nation. president biden celebrating greek independence day at the white house and he even gave himself a new nickname. >> i had a very close relationship with a greek american community for real. i am joey bidenapolis. >> this is not the first time he made the biden apolis joke. will be able to catch sunday's after settling lawsuit. they sued during a planned lockdown event constitutional rights to religious freedom. their attorney saying quote new york state has entered into a binding settlement agreement that would allow our six clients to view the solar eclipse in accord dance with their sincerely held religious beliefs. those your headlines. >> brian: so relieved. >> steve: we predicted. this you wonder what religion? brian you asked what religion are they they would go ahead and request that? one is a muslim, one is a baptist, one is a seventh day seventh dayadventist and two prn temperature rhea and one is atheist. what religious experience was that person? >> lawrence: they brought all the religions together? >> ainsley: how did they argue this? in the bible does it say everyone should have the opportunity to see the eclipse? >> steve: apparently they feel strongly about i
