have not heard from the city. for now, that is all you expect. are we expecting an apology? no. he deserves better, he certainly does. >> carley: he certainly does. now that your story is out, i'm sure he will receive help. you are joking and calling him mayor of oakland because he's lived there so long and done for the community. he is a world war ii veteran, we thank him for his service. if he were to become mayor, that would be welcomed. your grandfather sounds like a wonderful man. >> thank you. >> carley: you are welcome. send it over to meteorologist adam klotz for easter weather f forecast. >> adam: one system is working across the country and that is what we'll focus on.

could allow for his release. we don't know what is going on behind the scenes. we'd like to think that things are moving, there are negotiations happening, there is little sign of that at the moment. >> joey: it seems clear he is being held as a political prisoner, not someone who committed a crime or did something wrong or violent. we have this clip i want to show you from "wall street journal" paul beckett describing the conditions he's living in. >> he is in a cell for 23 hours a day. he gets out for one hour a day and to a compound that is about the same size as his cell. six steps, six steps. he has done incredibly well under atrocious circumstances.

>> joey: welcome back the rnc is considering restricting nbc's access at its national convention this summer. after the company decided to drop former chair ron that mcdaniel as an analyst less than a week after she was hired. >> carley: rnc spokesperson says we are taking a hard look at what this means for nbc's participation at the convention. our priority is making sure this is a world class event that allows president trump to feature his message and vision in a fair way. former arkansas governor mike huckabee joins us now. governor, good morning to you. i could see where this would be the rnc's initial reaction but if you are donald trump, you're going to want as many people watching the convention as possible. so what do you think the rnc should ultimately do here?

ed. >> nbc viewers are not watching because they care. all nbc is going to do is trash everybody there. inviting rnc to the republican convention is inviting a pack of wolves steakhouse supply. they are not friendly. they basically said they're anchors. >> this was ridiculous their reaction to ronna mcdaniel. essentially it was. this we don't want your business, go away. half the country, plus. we are not interested in anything you think, say, do. we simply don't acknowledge your existence. so, it's really an incredible move on the part of a so-called news network where journalism is not a practice. it's a joke. >> joey: governor, something nbc probably doesn't likes a well. president biden is reportedly scaling back on his national media interviews. interview they say they are going to do this fowxz on locals and influencers sounds to me so they can control the

narrative a little more. >> funny talking about they are going to scale back. when which they ever scale up? come on. let's face it. joe biden has done fewer interviews last year than elvis has. this is just an amazing situation where joe has been kept away from the press because they are scared to death that every time he opens his mouth he says something ridiculous. even when he is at the podium and is reading from a teleprompter. he goes off script and he talks about how he rode on those trains across the francis scott key bridge, gee, he forgot to realize there is no train track on that bridge. how far did he do it? he is an amazing man. so, yeah. they want to scale it back all right on the national level. they want to put him on some venue where nobody is listening, watching, or reading. that way maybe they can protect their candidate from continually bumbling down both the physical stairs and the political stairs of his career. >> carley: you know, governor

this is a strategy that could be pretty risky the national media clearly has the biden administration's back. but, when you go it swing states and you talk to local reporters, they are going to ask you really hard questions and white house press secretary karine jean-pierre just got in a run-in with a local radio reporter in north carolina show ended up hanging up the phone on him listen to this. >> when i told talking to you today it's interesting they said would you please just ask her does the president have dementia? >> that is incredibly offensive question to ask. >> carley: so from a tactical standpoint, running a campaign. if you don't do the national news interviews that could potentially and focus on the local reports could this preliminarily backfire.

>> yeah. i think it could. quite frankly running my own experience running two presidential campaigns. i found that the local reporters often ask the more penetrating, the more thoughtful questions than did the national pack of reporters that traveled around covering presidential candidates and that's all they did. the latest poll said. this what do you think? other candidates have said. this what do you want to do to react? you talk to a local reporter and they wanted to know what are you going to do about agricultural issues in the farmland? how are you going to help the people who can't afford groceries or gasoline? it was very, very thoughtful questions. much more meaningful. so, may not be the smartest move on the part of the biden administration. but, perhaps the best thing, i would send him to the beach and keep him there until november. >> joey: governor, today is good friday. obviously sunday is easter. away from all these headlines, what's your message for our viewers on this holiday. >> the greatest sermon i ever heard about easter was from a

wonderful black pastor s.m. lock ridge to lived in california had a message it's friday but sunday is coming. powerful reminder no matter how bleep things may look on friday when the xavier is on the cross sunday coming and the resurrection. that's the message of easter we all absolutely ought to hold dear to our hearts. >> carley: you have such a great way with words. put things in perspective. thank you for joining us ahead of your easter celebration with your wonderful family as well. governor mike huckabee, have a great weekend. thank you so much for joining us. >> joey: thanks, governor. >> thank you. >> carley: "fox & friends" starts right now. >> brian: 6:00 a.m. on the east coast. it is good friday, march 29th, and this is "fox & friends." who is what is happening today. second wake planned for the fallen nypd officer jonathan diller after former president trump attended yesterday's
