pete: i don't know him. rachel: let's have in the next hour, open with andy williams song. we is k make that happen. pete: sounds like a plan. rachel: the pasties from the up were so good. pete: i asked your daughter, she had a beautiful rendition of her brother early in the program. rachel: it's like a dinner pitch today of the weekend crew. this is will and this is pete. will, you have a pen and paper. i have a co coffee mug. pete: rachel, your hair looks fantastic. rachel: i know. pete: thank you for the wonderful piece of art you created. this is patrick, n not gutierrez as good. but also solid. your ears are up here. will: he's covering his face. rachel: if you wonder why i'm smiling so much, i'm looking at

two gorgeous kids across from me. will: speaking of art work and i'm hold up -- rachel: kids with extracurricular eighths. will: poor me, hunter biden and new details in the indictment on hunter biden including the fact he spent over $900,000 on sex life, adult entertainment, prosecutes and including what -- prostitutes including what -- pete: kids are here. will: it's news. i have to dot show. he paid one $1500 for art. speaking of art, he doesn't do any art. rachel: she does a different art. will: modern art defined to me. pete: they were all loans. everything is a loan and he was paid back. rachel: many women were internationally trafficked and

there's a whole side to this and here's hunter saying baseball gamesically he was on a podcast will: i was wondering about that company. pete: what's he doing with mobey. where i recollects he's saying i think the republicans are out to get me. >> i've stopped hoping for an end to this because as long as my dad is president of the united states, they're not going to top. they're trying to stop a presidency and it's not about me. their most base way, what they're trying to do is maher trying to kill me knowing that

iting pain greater than my father could hand and will so therefore destroying a presidency in that way. pete: they're trying to kill him is what he says. but we're just trying to find out where the money came from, james and joe and hunter. look at all the salacious stuff hunter did and could have paid his taxes and could have butchest nod to and the service provoit soot and when you look at this, they want to spin at equal jus sis and not just trump

but the bidens and houssay he can't steph in front of james comer which is the real investigation because the doj won't do it into whether or not there's actual family connections and there is but it's a matter of getting to the bottom line. >> what's taking place with hunter biden is something he should take more concern with rather than what republicans may be doing and it's actual what hunter biden is possibly his father have been doing and seemingly doing it overtime.

the intricacies of the indictments and coverups and going down logical investigations that could possibly lead to joe biden is that's why that's not happening there. we're sot'ing the the biden connections and getting there through the investigations by the house and through the the media and investigation companies telling us this wasn't real right back before an election and here they are still

playing covering up for hunter and going with this fake story as you said it, pete, this other part of the story that's not quite as meaningful and they're implicated in the story and they tell us it was russian disinformation and we know now it wasn't but people like senator jonathan that will come on a little later in the show, were accused of being russian stooges and cooperating with putin and all these things and they've been vindicated. pete: they'll keep doing it because of the poll we revealed last hour and we'll show again next hour and donald trump outside of the margin of error with a lead in the 2024 election and they'll keep covering because it's their only option. there's that poll and donald trump has more support this morning. there's a promo clip that came out from cbs sunday morning and an interview that will happen tomorrow with former house speaker kevin mccarthy and ousted as speaker and not guilty

running for e reelection and endorsing donald trump. >> will donald trump be the nominee? >> yes. >> in the republican party? >> yes, and if dieden stays the nominee for the democrats, i believe donald trump will win, weapons will gain more seats in the house and we'll gain the lead in the senate. >> can he endorse your support? >> yes. i will support president trump. >> would you be willing to serve in a trump cabinet? >> in the right position. if i'm the best person for the job, yes? i worked with president trump on a lot of policies. we worked together to win the majority, but we also have a relationship where we're very honest with one another. will: kevin mccarthy endorsing donald trump. meanwhile ken langone. we often say one of the founders of home depot. will: there's three.

arthur blanken that earns the eagles and bernie marcus and ken langone and he endorsed nikki haley. >> you sized up the field and like nikki haley and you want to support her. >> yes, i am going to support her. i think she's just what we need right now and i think her approach is smart, i think she's clarified herself on some issues, which is very important and very importantly, the american people need in leadership and stakes run high. >> you do not like ron desantis. i didn't mean to jump on you there. why not ron desantis? >> no, i did like ron desantis. miz numbers aren't moving, neil. the handwriting is on the wall. now on the other hand nikki haley had a substantial upswing

and what's going on in the country today is mayhem, absolute mayhem. rachel: he did say i liked ron december and fogs nation handout and we had that discussion and if he dun run where do all the trump people go and we on the panel saw it and analyzed and thought they'd go to ron desantis and he's really an america first candidate. if donald trump.

couldn't i can't see a lot of trumpers moving to nikki haley. that's my thought. will: who would be winning in nikki haley and ron desantis? that was my conversation and that was interesting about the pulse of the american republican base. pete: if there was no shaping in the battlefield, it's a very, very different race and terms of policy and point of view and instincts it's a different point of view. pete: trump was a giant disrupter and interview going on and he said i'd support trump no matter what. i'll do a write in if it's biden versus trump. you're asking more more biden with that particular vote if that's the stabs you take and upswing for nikki haley.

going from 7 to 12, that's substantial in percentage terms but not when you're running against a guy with 60. rachel: that's the donor class and he embodies the donor class and they've moved all their money and you might see that money helping nikki in the iowa caucus and money makes a difference and they're going to put a lot of money and don't have what it takes to overtake donald trump. it's so counterintuitive and never think somebody facing jail time every time they do another thing to him, he goes up in the polls. pete: 2024, expect the unexpected for sure. returning to a few additional headlines starting with this. a gun rights group is praising a federal appeals court for throwing out the expansive conceal carry law. one organization slamming governor hochul's push saying the gun owners of america proud

to have played a role in rebuking the unconstitutional law. judges struck down a gun law mandating them to hold them on applications for concealed permits. at least you can get one now in new york at some level. police are still investigating a cash that hurt seven people including three children outside of tampa this week. the children are expected to be okay and no word on any arrest. police are investigating whether the crash was caused by street racing. after leaving last week's game early due to injury, saint's quarterback derek carr returning back to the field as his team takes on the carolina panthers. one of several games lined umm for you tomorrow on fox and includes the san francisco 49ers keeping the game streak alive and the seattle seahawks in america's game of the week and

game of the week that's not the cowboys. doesn't feel right, does it, will? will: i forgot. it's been a week and we never took time to point out how right i was on the college football playoff. pete: oh my goodness, rachel. will: he was right and spot on correct. pete: texas will be three seed. i was on a plane when texas was coming and i raised hi hand in the air and thought i'm on a flight from new york to dallas and they looked at me too like i was a terrorist. i yelled out, hook 'em horns. got nothing. no one was streaming with me. never seen an air mar small in my travels. rachel: they're not doing it and

i was antimere for navy for four years so the thursday before the football game is always the swim meet against army navy and the women won for the 35th consecutive year this year. reporter: 35th time in a row? >> it's been a great rivalry and first thing is go navy, beat army. that's engrained in you when you swim. reporter: what's going to win? >> navy, hands down. reporter: might have expected she'd say navy is going to win. we've got differing opinions depending on where you went to school. a special treat talking to the commander and amazing history and amazing ship and amazing day in new england. will: brian, what about the men in the pool s. it tighter or is navy men dominating as well? reporter: yeah, what's men's swimming? you've dominated in the pool, what about the guys? little different. that's will asking by the way. .

jowski they are strioing to in the most illegitimate way but rational way, they're trying to destroy a presidency. it's not about me. what they're trying to do is

they're trying to kill me knowing it'll be a pain greater than my father can handle. rachel: hunter biden claiming the republicans are trying to kill him and the melodramatic take as he's hit with a new noun count federal indictment sending him to prison if convicted. >> hunter biden is a failure to lawn and have never taken responsibility or done anything with their life and that's just reality and politically, this is taking self-responsibility and it wasn't republicans that charged him, it wasn't rens that failed to file his taxes or cheat on his taxes.

they want to try and blame donald trump somehow, but the reality is there was money, millions of dollars flowing overseas from china, russia, from ukraine, from other countries like romania and that went into the pockets of the biden family. it was highly suspicious. i think it was criminal. is the president compromised? these are probative questions that need answered and for hunter biden to try and blame republicans, the department of justice is run by the democrats for goodness sake. that's who he was charged with and irs whistle blowers are not republicans. they were just doing their job. rachel: it's interesting how he acts like whoa is me when we have caught on tape probably the most serious quid pro quo with the ukraine money from burisma and his father firing that prosecutor he got money from one

of the biggest spy bosses from hunter's own description in china and as you said you have to know where this leads and these charges don't answer the question about joe biden. which is what we're really concerned about. miranda devine had an interesting take on how republicans should be re-cassioppiing to all this. listen. >> that's why next week when the republicans bring their vote to the floor for formalizing this impeachment inquiry, every single republican should be voting yes to that and if they don't, you have to think that there's something suspicious going on and they're being bribed or they're being blackmailed because there's no republican who should not want to get to the bottom of this influence peddling racket and corruption that goes right to the top of this country and that joe biden has been practicing for decades.

rachel: if there's a republican in the house that doesn't vote to impeach joe biden, they're either receiving bribes or being blackmailed. there's no reason for this. on the part of the democrats, they have a political incentive to cover up the sins of joe biden. why would any republican not vote to impeach iminoing what we know? him knowing what we know. >> it's injustice and i can't imagine any person who believes in the principles voting against this. for all those democrats out there that preached for years that no person is above the law, how do they vote against this? one other thing about hunter biden and not taking the personal responsibility, i didn't hear him deny any charges. he never denied any charges. rachel: he never i didded he had a laptop and the three other agencies with the media and mainstream media and they didn't

want us to leave the laptop was real or e-mails were real and photos and really good stuff, jason. keep our eye on this and the story develops. >> thank you. rachel: still ahead, another week and record surge at the southern border and will and pete go off the wall to break down the worsening situation for stakes for america and plus into the storm, a gripping new fox weather documentary honoring heroic response who stepped up during some of america's worst weather emergency, our own fran joining us live with the stories that leave you on the edge of your seat. facturing back to ame. we're taking the best fibers our farm can produce,

rachel: fox weather is honoring america's first responders tonight. the new documentary airing tonight will share the stories of american heros who stepped up in some of network's worst weather emergencies. pete: including tracy heart that saved nine people in the rolling fork, mississippi, tornadoes. watch. >> it's hard to say what you need when you have lost everything. so i just ask people to kind of put themselves in our position and think of what you'd be if you woke up one morning and everything was gone. rachel: here to el us more is the host of fox news meteorologist janice dean. those are hard to imagine.

>> in tracy's case and she was a first responder and never thought this would be the position she was in. she was in her business at the time and remembered a weather lesson years ago when a tosh is touching down, go to lowest portion of your home and went into a cooler and brought employees and patrons into this small cooler and within moments, everything was destroyed and she saved lives. she was put into the role of a first responder and the rest of the special is highlighting first responders and running towards danger as we're running away from it. pete: one of the -- will: one of the biggest in the place is taking place in maui and police and coast guard interviewed and part of the documentary is coast guard commanders in hawaii and take a

quick view. >> makes you do this type of work and running towards the danger and everyone else is running away. >> i wanted to give back to my country and coast guard being a humanitarian service and they're going to protect those in the sea and from the sea and the environment really has always been a strong purpose for me. >> this is near and dear to your heart and it was one of the biggest weather stories of the past decade, the maui wild fires and we focus on organizations like team rubicon who after military did their service, they want to give back so they go out to the natural disasters and volunteer. this is their purpose and what they want to do and have special tools to do that and fire, ems, police officers, i think it's really important now more than ever to highlight the brave men and women, my husband is fdny for 28 years and i know what it's like to be the spouse of a

fire fighter. we're getting into the holidays and some of these people work on the holidays and sometimes they don't come back to their families. i think it'll bring tears but also a very hopeful message. rachel: americans are at their best in these tragedies. finally not just something we say as americans and other people in other countries, i've had them say, people don't rally in the same way that americans do when there's a tornado in a little town. >> we're so divisive right now, these men and women don't care what you voted for or your belief system, they're going to run in and save you. that's the fabric of the nation. will: you never realize how importants is till it happens to you and the story when you're in it, you realize what you're talking about with the value of the first responders. let's check in with rick

apprehensions the day before and that was a relatively good number and if it was about 1,000, it was a relatively bad number. i was going to be in a bad mood the whole day. i know that a thousand overwhelps the system. i cannot begin to panel what 4,000 a day looks like. we're in a crisis truly. will: that was obama-era secretary jay johnson when 4,000 border crossings per day seemed high. under president biden the daily encounters surged to 12,000 this week. the highest total for a single day on record. that's 12,000 in a day and, pete, it's important to point out 10,000 of the 12,000 came between ports of industry. pete: between not through a dedicated port of industry and imagine what jay johnson would say about 12,000, saying 1,000 is a lot and 4,000 breaks the system and what does 12,000 in one day do? better understand how bad this is and go off the wall and how

it affects multiple locations across the country. will, start in your neck of the woods in texas. i want to point out these numbers are from cvp and don't reflect the month ovnovember with early numbers. will: they're a bit down from last year and numbers are staggering and look down by ports of entry and border sectors and 22,000 in el paso and pete: 32,000 and this is a single day encounters in del rio. these are encounters meaning they encounter a border patrol agent and claim asylum and here illegally and under threat and what other countries could they have passed through and got aways and known got aways from this week. pete: there's not a lot of women and children in that. will: no. pete: this is explosion of military-aged males across the

sectors. will: congressman max frost, maxwell frost said okay, listen, put this in context. think about what was happening in early 1900s and ellis island. >> this is not new for our country. we're a country that accepts people, especially refugees and i encourage people to look back at the history of ellis island and processing much more people than now. such a long time ago it's worse technology and we're able to do this. pete: sounds so smart. will: take you up on that. we'll compare to ellis island. pete: i've been there. we did something on "fox & friends" and visited it. in 1900 a day, it's the max or average of what went through ellis island between 1900 and 1914. will: way more back then. that's a formative period in our nation's history and we're all familiar. my grandfather came through ellis island and we're all familiar with immigrants coming legally to the united states

through ellis island and maxwell frost said it was more. 1900 a day. what's happening now at our southern border. almost 8,000 a day crossing. pete: and orderly, logbooks, health checks and checked in in countries of origin and a far more meaningful way and a fourth of the southern board. will: talk about texas and moving to arizona and focus on arizona. take a look at border encounters in that state. 17,050 in a single week. that was last week in november, pete. pete: why might you see it in arizona in the winter? they're the months of the weir when it's tenable to cross in arizona, which in the hottest parts of the summer months, it's impossible. 5,000 border encounters -- 55,000 border encounters so far and one month and not reflecting the month of november and dated numbers going higher.

ownership and big stars and money from tinseltown from over here and different types of approaching to the game but both very, very successful. in a final as you know, you're a big sports fan and sometimes the oklahoma fieldeed a leeanne damage isn't as big -- advantage isn't as big as in a regular season type game and i worry for columbus crew about lafc and i think they're a better team and in a final-type of environment, i think that they can be better on the day. don't sleep on the columbus crew team and the story is just amazing and a team a few years ago was on the verge of folding and if not for the incurred credible everies of their pan and with a brand new stadium and changing the complexion of that team. state queens would not be in columbus and it would be a celebration of the history and the whistle blows and lafc team cruising and looking to repeat

after last year's mls cup. will: that story of the the fans saved that franchise and fold or move to austin and the fans were like so in love with that team, they save it and pushes me into one corner of who i'm rooting for. which players am i watching out for as i watch? >> for columbus, you have actually some really interesting stories. you have someone like hernandez that's a wonderful goal scorer and main guy put ago ball in the net. diego russi played for lafc and now gets to take a bite out of his old team over there. who i feel who is the greatest mls player in history from american perspective and knight. just a wonderful, wonderful player. on the other side, carlos vela

and he's a lend and now he's an lafc legend and only a few years old. this could be his last game. denny buwanga scoring a bunch of goals and the legend in georgio calin and i recollects incredible player on the backsidement they've gone about it very, very differently. will: i'll be watching as well. ncaa championships arrived and clemson against notre dame. i'm a new fan after clemson and horns and pepperdine and today about the mls championship at 4:00 p.m. eastern time on fox and the sports sports app. thank you, alexi. >> thank you, my friend. will: senator ron johnson joins us on the latest hunter hea headache. so shop our 25 days ofs where you can discover brand new offers. buy now and pay later with lowe's pay.
