o'clock in the west 11:00 pm in the east, we are going to take a little bit of a deeper dive into something we talked about earlier which is the radio host saying to the new york mayor eric adams that 1 police officer's death is rare and because police killed so many. was she intimating it was justified or that was the right thing to do? we are going to take a long look at that. we have terry lake on tonight to sue she's got for us. 11:00 o'clock in the west, 8:00 and 11:00 o'clock in the east, it o'clock in the west. your world with neil cavuto starts right now. >> since the onset of evidence detention they have not offered credible information or evidence or insight into any clear thinking here. the truth of the matter is that

these allegations are a sham. and as i said admin was simply doing his job. we are going to continue to work at this around-the-clock. >> neil: 1 year and state department spokesman telling me the administration is going all out in the fight to free wall street journal reporter evan gershkovich from a russian prison. coming up more of my state department interview and asked the former cia secretary what will take to secure evans freedom now that it's been extended. his jail time already a year by another 3 month. welcome i am neil cavuto and this is your world. let's get right to it with alex hogan in london on the fight to free evan. >> very grim milestone and his family speaking with fox saying how happy they are to see he's at least in good spirits despite the fact he remains behind bars but his friends say looking at this case it's disappointing to see what the stance is 12 months later.

>> it's hard to say we have made any progress in the last year towards getting evan released that feels like things are standing in place. in many ways things have gotten worse. >> 32-year-old wall street journal reporter arrest at this time last year and a work trip in russia taken into custody in the yekaterinburg accused of being a spy despite the fact that no evidence has been brought forward. the us has denied the accusation and when asked about evan today president biden said this. >> president joe biden: >> you have a message for evan gershkovich and his family today? [ inaudible ] >> reporter: washington accused moscow of using americans as bargaining chips and other american behind bars accused of espionage is paul whelan a former us marine serving a 16 year sentence.

>> neil: think if that. i did catch up a little earlier with the state department spokesman on all of this. so that the administration hopes to the right now especially with this three-month extension of the prison sentence that seems to have no end and no rationale backing it up. take a look. >> not a week goes by in which we are not engaging the highest levels with the russian federation to do everything we can to bring evan and paul home swiftly as possible. you talked about this the top of the segment. may just the beginning of this week they extended evidenced attention without offering additional insight, offering any additional evidence, offering any information. these claims they are making they are totally a sham. evan was a journalist doing his job and journalism is not a crime. and we are going to continue to do everything we can to bring both evan and paul home.

>> is it complicated as you see it by tense relations between our countries, russia with the world come to think of, and that he is just wanting to keep us spending on a spike, so to speak? >> look, the russian federation has a clear track record of wrongfully detaining american citizens, even in the context of this past administration you have seen that. it's a reason why that 1 of the reasons why russia continues to be a level 4 shall country." advice to american citizens there is do not travel, but we have seen progress made in the space and we obviously saw trevor read come home, lisa brittney griner come home so this continues to be possible in something we are continuing to work at around-the-clock. we have no higher priority than the safety and security of american citizens being wrongfully detained. in the case of russia that means evan and paul.

>> it will not be 1 of the other. the goal was and i don't know if there's any truth to these reports very closer trying to get anyone held there to be released in concert together. barring that tedious work on them 1 at a time? >> it's important that i not talk about or speak to deliberations and negotiations in public. there's a reason these things are kept private but let me be clear. we want to bring evan and paul home. >> so as a goes with three-month extension did you get any word as to why the extra 3 months? >> of course not because this is russia. so since the onset of evidenced attention they have not offered credible information or evidence or insight into any clear thinking here. the truth of the matter is that these allegations are a sham and

as i said evan was simply doing his job, and we're going to continue to work at this around-the-clock. >> you know leon panetta the former cia director former us defense secretary chief of staff. always good having you. let me first get your take on what we are hearing from state department, working all angles to get them out. but he's not out. it's been a year. vladimir putin has sentiment for another 3 months in the same prison. where you think this is going? >> it something that is expected from vladimir putin and russia. the reality is that a toker see versus democracy is a real conflict in the world today and we have a lot of a toker sees that import reporters in prison. addict or something that 50020 journalists who on prison as we

speak and almost 3 dozen in russia alone. so ultimately this is going to be about tough dealing with vladimir putin because basically he uses this is a barter system to get something back in exchange for these prisoners. we have got to play a tough game with putin to make clear that is not going to get away with this kind game. >> a lot of times these are resolved with hostage swaps. there was talking to a few believe that in the case of the dissident alexei navalny in a serbian prison that they were on the verge or vladimir putin argued they were on the verge of a swap. never materialized. first you believe that. and ultimately whatever happened there? do you think something ♪ that what's going to resolve

this now? >> look. for my own experience we were able to capture something like 10 russian spies when i was director of the cia, and it wasn't long before the russians tried to see if we could work out some exchange, and what we did was we ultimately got some of our own people back because we had 10 of their spies so in the end this is going to be about working out an exchange. and that's why think it's really important for united states to be able to get tough here. if you look at the russian embassies in this country was a lot of spies that are part of those embassies and i think we have to get tough with those that are spying on the united states and make clear that the

russians are not going to be able to do that as long as they are holding evan. it's got to be a tough game. perrotin loves this bartering game. he loves the leverage that's involved. we've got to basically shut him down by playing hardball with regard to the spies he's got in this country. >> the reality is secretary if you think about it that he's winning this game of hardball or whatever you want to call it. if you go back to start of ukraine war he's richer than he ever was pissed. his country is bringing him more oil revenues -- then he ever was. it seems to have us on the run more than him on the run. what you think of that? >> the only way you deal with putin is not by saying pretty, please. that's for damn sure. you have to get tough with putin and the only way you get tough with putin is by having something that he just needs.

you can't always be subject to his wins and i think right now that's the game that's going on here. put my. >> plane hardball and we don't have that much leverage for whatever reason. we've got to develop some leverage here. and frankly be able to arrest some of his spies so that he has a reason for coming to the bargaining table spent donald trump is always said that he is a relationship with vladimir putin. it's a tough but fair relationship that he could extract some concessions even in the war, that than joe biden but that's an edge he would have. it wasn't talking specifically about evan here. but what you make of that? >> vladimir putin is a tough guy

to deal with. you have to understand that. and i think you just have to get tough with him. that's the important thing. i don't think this is as i said a game of pretty, please. i think you've got to be able to show putin that if he does not provide evan andrew lee 7, that he's gone to suffer consequences , and that's the only game he understands. is that if he does not really 7 he's going to suffer some serious consequences. that's the only leverage that convinces putin to do anything, and that's what we've got to do. we've got to get tough. >> thank you very much. very good seeing you. hope you have a safe easter weekend. be well. >> wish you a happy easter. >> neil: leon panetta on all of that. we are going to be looking not only at the situation with an

innocent journalist who for the better part of year has been held up in prison having done nothing wrong himself now getting three-month extension on. the implications of that and how it's affecting international relations. former secretary of state's mike pompeo special guest on my we can show beginning 10:00 am eastern time tomorrow. look for to seeing you. a lot of other big surprises coming up as well. we are getting some or surprise information as to what prompted the see disaster in baltimore and they are telling of the damages and cost of that. but more how this will upset things for quite some time. >> we're out here in baltimore harbor with a wind gusts are starting to approach gail for strength and but governor westmore says that calvary is coming. will tell you more after the break.

there's always a fresh deal on the subway app. how about bogo 50% off footlongs? like the irresistible philly. what'd you got to say klay? there's nothing better than a sub— —sorry buddy. this deal is so big, we had to cut your screen time to fit it all in. order now in the subway app. no, my denture's uncomfortable! dracula, let's fight back against discomfort. with new poligrip power max hold & comfort. it has superior hold plus keeps us comfy all day with it's pressure absording layer. time for a bite! if your mouth could talk it would ask for... poligrip. my life is full of questions... mom, is yellow a light or a dark? how do i clean an aioli stain? thankfully, tide's the answer to almost all of them.

why do we even buy napkins? use tide. can cold water clean white socks? it can with tide. do i need to pretreat guacamole? not with tide. this is chocolate, right? -just use... -tide...yeah. no matter who's doing it, on what cycle, or in what temperature, tide works. so i can focus on all the other questions. do crabs have eyebrows? ahh... for all of life's laundry questions, it's got to be tide. okay y'all we got ten orders coming in... big orders! starting a business is never easy, but starting it eight months pregnant... that's a different story. i couldn't slow down. we were starting a business from the ground up. people were showing up left and right. and so did our business needs the chase ink card made it easy. when you go for something big like this, your kids see that. and they believe they can do the same. earn unlimited 1.5% cash back on every purchase with the chase ink business unlimited card. make more of what's yours.

>> democratic governor westmore says time certainly is of the essence, port shutdown something can be out of commission for the better part of years and cost to rebuild to the tune of may be upwards of half a million dollars. we'll get into those details. first to grady trimble with what

they're looking at right now. i'm sorry. to you. we're out here on the water and as we mentioned the wind gusts out here reaching gail for strengths in the problem that the ship in the distance and the sun's little break to show but the ship that's blocking that channel and current running into it but the wind is blowing that way making a very difficult because they want to get these operations started and underway. we know that giant chesapeake 1,000 crane is here. there's more on the way. governor moore holding a press conference saying they will have some 9 barges support vessels and the coast guard as well. but the big problem is that bridge that the trestles of it are crashed down on top of the ship blocking and they have to cut into pieces and remove it. but the pieces of the bridge or what's causing the most competition.

governor westmore address that. listen here and. >> the big part them of the challenges is the key bridge which sits on top of the vessel right now the weight is between 3,000 to 4,000 tons. so our team needs to cut the trust into sections in a safe and responsible and efficient way before it can lift those pieces out of the water. >> we are learning also today from the president himself president biden says he plans to visit baltimore sometime next week. it's unclear exactly when they will get this underway but the vice admiral of the coast guard says there's 3 steps. the first foremost is to clear that channel, open of the port. it is costing millions of dollars a day and then it's going to be to pull the ship out of the channel then remove the debris in the waterways outside of the channel and the recovery

efforts to try and go to recover the 4 construction workers bodies families have safety. but these conditions right now divers cannot go under. >> neil: amazing. thank you very much. sorry for the confusion. griff jenkins with the latest on that. maryland governor westmore will be my special guest tomorrow on my we can show. give us an update where things stand as of that very minute and our tomorrow 10:00 am eastern time. you want to go now to grady turnbull and how all of this right now is affecting the timing for getting back to financial normal whatever that is because it seems a ways off. >> it does. officials don't even have an estimate to just how much this entire process is going to cost from removing the wreckage, moving that ship and reopening

the ports and ultimately rebuilding a new bridge. we do know the biden administration provided maryland $60 million which a transportation secretary called and down payment the first of what we expect to be many from the federal government to rebuild this bridge. but of course first things first is getting the port clear and that's why all the naval assets coast guard assets are on their way here right now to help with that process. as far as paying for the bridge rebuild as you know president biden is promising the federal government will foot the entire bill but maritime attorney michael winkleman tells us he has no doubt the federal government will sue the shipowner to recoup some of the costs and pieces that will be 1 of many lawsuits in this case. >> business interruption claims from all the other shipping companies sitting in the portal baltimore that cannot operate or take their vessels with the need to go or get their cargo. that's not just shipping company

but ultimately the person who is being delivered to the end user. so the ripple effects of this it honestly almost knows no end. >> griff touched on this but the maryland chamber of commerce estimates this state alone is losing $15 million every single day that the sport is closed. 8,000 jobs are directly tied to the port not to mention upwards of 140,000 or indirectly connected to the port. so it's imperative notches for the local economy but for the entire country to get the port back open and that something governor moore has been underscoring over and over again. we still don't have answers to the main questions which is how long is it going to take to get the port open and how much it will cost. >> neil: thank you for the. they ensure all these big disasters and the like. he thinks this will be the most

expensive maritime disaster in history. pegging it at more than at least $400 million. in the meantime you've heard about the big money hall by president biden last night in midtown manhattan. 26 million, 30 million, it's moving target, people around donald j trump say they can beat that and will next saturday. after this. lowe's knows new projects come with questions. so, we have answers. like how to keep your yard looking lush. which paint color matches your bold style. and with the mylowe's rewards credit card, you can save 5% every day. you got this. and we got you.

costs that are generally running 2 tetro 3 times the general rate of inflation. it's in going that way for number of years. scott martin joins us right now. of course has a very young family and adding that up and said and said i give up. what do you think of this? >> yeah, i sent where does it stop? until you have to wonder is apparent these days my children are 13, 10. 5, 10 years what is college going to cost? and what you get out of it? these days you get indoctrination, may be a little drinking in college. i don't know about the education and you get some judgment coming out of the college dependent on where you go. imagine sending a child to harvard and ivy leagues versus what you get 10 years ago. what did businesses thank when they see that on resume and the higher the child because where they got their education. >> it's interesting you mentioned harvard with other controversies and president resigning and all of that, their admissions or down. the number of people even applying to school or down.

that's an extensive school itself but my point is there something going on here where we look at forgiving student loans and the like and you would think in that environment the cost of education itself would be coming down but the more we do stuff like that i suspect the more the price of going to the schools goes up. at least that's the history. >> that's the big problems on the government started getting into the student loan business and and really started taking over those actions costs went up because all of a sudden it was this unlimited demand involvement in this entity from the government, just keep borrowing the way it will take care of you. the university is like we can just raise the prices we want because somebody be carrying the bag at the ends of the day on what is the school going to do to finally get back to that student, and so pierogi seen actually school giving less and less back to the kid and they come out of there with maybe less of an idea of what they

want to do than when they went in. >> what's interesting is we see inflation largely in this country the aggregate level the administration likes to say the rate of increase is going down and they are right about that but it's in the soft spots the college education more than just soft spot where the rise is running twice 3 times what the goal is which is 2%, and grocery stores it's rising at a faster clip. so the everyday realities for a lot of americans to say nothing of gas which has been on some prices advance, those are real problems. >> yeses and at the disconnect will get the messaging from dc about how much things are getting better integrate the equinox situation is yet when you take a trip outside to the store to fast food restaurant all those prices are out of control and the government is not anything to bring them down. raising taxes on corporations, raising regulations. we mention student on involvement, all that has done a support higher prices and

therefore to get out of what you're getting out of it as a consumer feels like you're getting less and less each year. >> the irony of the effort, it's always well intended. to help kids dealing with college loans and arrears is overwhelming. you are actually feeding the beast and the cost of colleges go up. someone has to pay for that leaving aside the debt, that she is leading to bigger inflation issues down the road. we just don't see it right away. >> we don't end up there and that something will have to recognize 1 of your problem being college educated person myself when you go to college when i went into college 50 years ago that say that was a known thing something had to do or wanted to do but nowadays when kids and individuals go to school to the north they want to do and does the school help them get better at figuring that out and give them the training to figure what they want to do and they get out of the school and it's not just a check of the box-type thing or cost you a quarter million dollars and good luck. >> i'm disappointed to learn he

necessarily the pulling race but even their friends of donald trump are planning something big in florida to maybe even the score at least come closer. charlie following all that. what's going on here? >> it's obviously dual can fundraising but donald trump did something really smart yesterday and i think this kind of is underscoring the problem that joe biden has with a large section of the american electorate. while joe biden was literally whooping it up with a bunch of fatcats at radio city music hall having stephen colbert host him in joe biden and bill clinton for a zillion dollar plate appearance clogging up traffic, donald trump went to a funeral of a slain cop, and it showed class and it showed presence of mind. they diakite me or the difference, dichotomy is the wrong word for this but the juxtaposition of fatcats liberal democrats limousine liberals there and donald trump in long

island at a funeral of the slain hero is just so remarkable and i think it's meant to help him long term. >> what about this effort in florida to raise money? >> now it comes after. i think he's gone to get a push from that and there'll be a lot of people, a lot of republican donors who are on the fence saying okay dry really want to get involved in this type of democratic party that liberally shuns, listen the best thing that could have been yesterday for joe biden was he should have went to the funeral and then go to his big party. but none of them did that. he didn't do that. and it's not like joe biden did didn't know because this has been national news a cop in queens had a routine stop and shop in the stomach and died. 's. i'm trying to be clear on what you see happening in florida. this money raising push saturday who's leading the effort?

>> who's leading the effort, it's the trump campaign and he doesn't have the coterie of bumbler's biden has. that's clear but he has money people that will give a lot of money to this and i think yesterday's news what happened friday in new york city is going to propel that fundraiser to something that's pretty good. here's the thing. donald trump is never done well with the big fundraisers. most of his money is raised by average people throwing him ten dollars, a lot of people throwing him $1,020, $100. that might change after yesterday. i was talking to a lot of people that raise money, big bucks people in wall street. they looked at that hosting yesterday under like fact we really want to give money to joe biden after all this? it was kind of interesting situation. >> the money they're getting more money since that. so someone is giving at the watch closely. thank you very much for that.

pnumber.com. >> neil: as you might look at heading out for easter weekend some nasty storms could be moving in. let's get the latest on the weather front. we have louis joining us now from fox weather. what are we looking at here? >> alek sigley dealing with wet weather especially across the west coast and eventually the east coast for the holiday weekend. we take you through at least saturday for easter weekend. we have the system working on its way over california spreading england over the rockies spilling into the 4 corner states that we watch very closely. looks like denver towards omaha central portions of the country dallas to memphis things look very sunny and nice. towards the east will be watching the ohio valley moving to the northeast. wet weather for saturday in the form of rain. from chicago towards new york

and everywhere in between we will be dodging a few showers for saturday. by sunday as folks are out and about easter egg hunting there's a couple of spots from raleigh to jacksonville in the east coast, seattle west coast but everywhere in between we have the system i talked about spilling over the rockies into the northern plains we have another shot of winter weather rolling through in the form snow for areas like the dakotas towards montana. southern portions 4 corner states phoenix towards denver may see some sunshine, may be a quick shower or connected for all is said and done and across upper midwest into the northeast we're watching round of showers once again into sunday. this time little more confined of towards the west of the ohio valley areas like chicago, indianapolis towards minneapolis could see a few showers as well before all is said and done. this is the prelude to what's expected into the sum coming week and the start of april. by april 1st we are looking at severe weather threat on our

hands, multi-day. monday to tuesday into wednesday central portions of the country towards northeast we watched the same low sparking showers and storms towards the west, move across central portions of the country bringing in everything on the table from severe weather to snow towards the north and rain for the southeast. certainly forecast to watch for sure. by the middle of the week this heads off towards northeast to midatlantic with even a few opportunities of severe weather there as well. >> neil: something to prepare for. of course you know him as jetblue founder of the guy who reinvented air travel as you know it. the head of breezy airways cannot control the weather but can control how much you pay for an airline ticket and he has been pretty successful making sure you don't pay through the nose. kind enough to join us. good to see you again. >> good to see you. nice to be on your show. >> you are an interesting market so maybe that's the key to how you can keep these prices so

explain how your strategy works. >> even before covid there's a lot of small and medium-sized cities that lost air service and as we got into covid and pilot shortages and all of the challenges airlines had, a lot of regional planes were pulled from markets and they just opened up this wide-open field for us to kind of going to these markets and it's incredible. we have 56 cities, 11 cities of them more destinations than any other airline. so people are loving the service. we are being big boys. we launched our own credit card. and it's amazing because, here's mine. that's amazing because there are so many people flying us because they have no other choice that the credit card, it's barclays breezy rewards recall and its

way ahead of schedule because people are like wow i love flying. are nps score is the highest i have ever seen before so through the great thing and people are so appreciative to have breeze in their communities. >> neil: you are targeting markets underserved and not appreciated a lot. that's been happening as the big boys tend to leave money-losing routes, moneymaking routes for you. another advantage you have these days not to besmirch boeing as you don't use boeing plains. use air bud's plains. tell me about that. >> back in the days of jetblue my first air layne morris air i had 737 players. when i saw a320 i thought it was a better airplane for customers. i kind of continued that. we have airbus a. 220 that would be 100% of our flights by the end of the year. we have 24 and will have 34 by the end of the year. but i felt totally safe flying a boeing airplane.

2 hours ago i landed on the 737 on united into salt lake. we've got the safest air travel market ever. >> neil: when you hear people expressed reservations about that in light of some of these incidents, wheels falling of plans and all that, i know they are an exception far from the rule. flying is very safe to your point. people are anxious. what you tell them? >> relax. it is fine. we have amazingly trained pilots. we have tremendous safety record. the planes are so well engineered be it boeing or airbus. the bolts were not tightened. but to be able to land that place plane safely without any injuries or fatalities is a miracle. so obviously we need to be diligent and i think there's some leadership changes at boeing but it's really, you know, people are safe. it's not good for the industry at all to focus on 1 aircraft

type or another because they are all safe. >> neil: always good seeing you again. thank you so much. >> thank you. come fly us. we just added 5 new cities. >> neil: sounds impressive. breeze airways founder and ceo, jetblue former founder and ceo. we told you what's happening the coliseum in rome. this is a good friday kind of ritual and it's gone on for many decades. usually the pope participate. this pope francis today opting out of it because of some health concerns. he is still planning to do easter sunday mass. to entertain those and inspire those at vatican square. but it's getting a lot of concern. you talk about people who can really inspire you, it's not just the pope. this next gentleman coming up russell levinson pastor st. martin's episcopal church. i have heard him inspire and i've heard his words, and you are in for a treat because he's

next

hey ump! you need your eyes checked! yeah, things are getting fuzzy! then go to america's best! why? for a comprehensive, quality eye exam! sounds good! it is! i'll go! good call! america's best. because eye care is healthcare - and you deserve the best.

>> neil: you are looking live right now in italy outside the colosseum. this is sort of a rite of passage for those on easter weekend who look at the significance of this day, and for the pope, it is part of presiding over the carrying of the cross and remembering the significance of this day. but the fact of the matter is the pope, pope francis, who would normally be presiding over

this, isn't today, feeling under the weather. we are told that will not affect his plans to still host vatican mass on sunday for easter sunday, but a lot of folks are worried. if you are short on inspiration or exasperated, we do have, we like to think, a back up to the pope, because he is right up there with me. pastor russell levinson is the head guy over at saint martins a phyepiscopal church. you talk about church tenants and they say it is way, way dow. his church is packed and has been for years and he is a big reason for that. finally going to be stepping down in a bit but not before "witness to dignity," his latest book, just steps back and looks at life in english, anyway everyone can understand regardless of your religion. very good to have you. >> neal, it is always good to see you. you look great and i so appreciate what you do for america day after day and every day during the week and

certainly on saturday mornings. it's an important weekend for us. >> neil: it really is. explain that. explained far better ways than i can. >> may be. but you know, the pope has wonderful quotes, and one of his quotes is we never lose hope or be disillusioned as long as we are guided by god. and this is a weekend, of course, as a nation, but certainly all of our churches are going to have the opportunity to reflect on the meaning and purpose of life, particularly in the year 2024, and we need god now i think about as much as we have in a generation, and this is a weekend where we are invited back into that time of reflection. really important that we look at where we are headed in our own lives but also the communities that we serve. >> neil: people are looking at you now, pastor, i know that face come i remember that face because you have been part of so

many iconic, beautiful events. the passing of george w. bush, where you remembered him. the bush family, of course, visitors and members of your fine church. you packed them in, as well, not only on a special event like that, which you would expect, but on every day, and sunday services and the rest. how do you manage that? >> i think you step in where the door is open. i think, you know, there are some stories about now that church attendance is declining. i suppose it is. in some places. i can give you a list of dozens of churches where it is a growing across the nation and across the world. the estimates for this weekend come all the time attendance high around the world for christians going to worship. but i do think i'm in the words of augustine, there is an insatiable hunger in each of us that god alone can satisfy, and

the world offers it, but it does not offer the thing that ultimately satisfies us, which is that walk with god. we are going to focus on jesus this weekend but i think all of our religious communities need to be calling on their foll followers, those who pack their pews, their mosques, their synagogues to remember this deep need we have to be filled by goodness, to be filled by the presence of god. >> neil: i think you are a gift and you are very modest, and that's why i could never do what you do, but i do remember at jean sermons funeral, the last man to walk on the moon, i was honored to be among the usually just, your reflection on the significance of that life and not being judgmental, on-again, off-again relationship with the church, but you did it in a kidding but respectful way, and we don't hear that enough, i think that is what intimidates people about either going back to church, they don't want to be

judged, and you never did that. you got a few laughs out of gene during his life doing just that. but how do you pull that off and get the message out without scaring folks off? >> you hit the nail on the proverbial head. we approach this with love and a welcoming sense. my friendship with gene became very important to me in the last years of his life. i still have messages on my cell phone i can't take off because he would call, usually christmas eve, to talk. our friendship grew quite deeply. he came in touch with that deep need in him. i think, neil, i think human nature deplores a vacuum. and there is a vacuum that is not filled with the right things, it is filled with the wrong things and you can see that our paper and the news, whatever you want to do. last night was monday thursday. our lord said, this is how people know you are a follower,

if you love one another. not if you're a bishop, a pope, a priest. or a great center. you are going to be known if you love each other and i think that is the real hunger right now is that we need to remember how important that is to breathe that into those vacuum spots that are in our world right now. can i give you one of my favorite quotes from john wesley? >> neil: sure. >> a little mantra to take in. we are hitting spring, saw an opportunity to really think about the directions of our lives. i love it wesley said or wrote, do all the good you can buy all the means you can in all the ways you can add all the places you can add all the times you can to all the people you can, as long as you ever can. in other words, to be agents of love and to be agents of goodness is really the ultimate call of the human being. there is a great jewish proverb that says, before each human being goes an angel that says, behold, a child made in the image of god. and what if we all looked at one

another and heard that voice of that angel in our head? everyone who walks before us, whomever they are, as a child created in the image of god. if we treated each other that way, then we are looking on god's image when we see one another, would we not have a better world today? so this is a great weekend just to ponder those things, to be thinking about the direction of our lives, and if necessary, give in to the first time. if you need a recommit, do that, i think that is a great thing to do. i think it takes a lot of faith to not believe. there is so much around us that reminds us, we have an opportunity to be the people god calls us to be. >> neil: thanks for reminding us of that. happy easter. ♪ ♪ >> jesse: hello, everybody. i'm jesse watters along with judge jeanine pirro, jessica tarlov, kennedy, and greg gutfeld. it's 5:00 in new york city and
