some people waiting up to five years. we will bring you that. that's it for this show though, fair, balanced and unafraid "fox news primetime" hosted this week by rachel campos-duffy starts right now. hey, rachel. >> rachel: thank you, bret. good evening and welcome to "fox news primetime." ♪ ♪ >> rachel: i'm rachel campos-duffy and tonight china's pandemic white wash is underway. the world health organization and china are set to release a joint report on the origins of covid-19. their conclusion? that the coronavirus likely jumped from a bat to humans, possibly through another animal species. now, it's a scenario that is certainly possible. many diseases transmit that way, sars, mursz all transport that way sars. that ferris could have happened in a wildlife farm or wet market

or cave. we may never know the true origin. the w.h.o. study makes no claims that it is any closer to finding covid-19 patient brother. the only thing that the w.h.o. is sure about is that it didn't accidentally escape from the wuhan institute of virology and that we should all definitely stop looking into it. hmmm, how interesting. now, according to the associated press, quote: the team proposed further research in every area except the lab-leaked hype cyst. high pottcyst. i don't know about you if the chinese government tells me there is nothing to see at the lab i say that's the first place we should look. the problem, of course, is access. china repeatedly blocked american inspectors from visiting the institute. and when the ccp did eventually open the building up to the w.h.o. scientist, well, let's just say they didn't get that close of a look. the w.h.o. had three hours, that's all, to tour the facility.

they had no access to samples, no access to records no. access to key personnel. here's a former clinton official on the nature of this inspection. >> i wouldn't really call what's happened now an investigation. it's essentially a highly chaperoned, highly curated study tour. >> study tour? everybody around the world is imagining this is some kind of full investigation. it's not. this group of experts only saw what the chinese government wanted them to see. imagine if we had asked the soviet union to do a co-investigation of chernobyl. it doesn't really make sense. >> rachel: you cannot take anything the chinese communist party says at face value. whether it's the treatment of the uighurs, their brutal crackdowns in hong kong, or the origins of covid-19. china has proven time and time again that it just cannot be trusted.

most logical people understand that. but, for some reason, members of the scientific community do not. dr. peter has worked closely with the wuhan institute of virology for years. he was called on to help in the investigation. >> i'm on the team for a reason. if you are going to work in china on coronavirus and try to understand their origins, you should involve the people who know the most about that. and for better or for worse, i do. we met with them, we said do you audit the lab annually? did you altar it after the outbreak. >> yes. >> was anything found, no. >> you are just taking their word for it. >> what else can we do? >> rachel: what else can we do? i don't know, maybe demand transparency, in and that u.s. scientists gain access to their facility? talk to their scientists without their communist government minders? until that happens, no study coming from china can be trusted.

the problem is that china has a partner to help launder its lies. it's called the world health organization. and organization that the u.s. sends millions of dollars to every day. remember this tweet from januar? preliminary investigations conducted by the chinese authorities have found no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission of the novel coronavirus identified in wuhan. you see? they just took china's word for it. amplified their lies and then look what happened? here's why we need trans (y from china and the w.h.o. when it comes to the origin of the coronavirus. the wuhan viral one of the leading labs in the world for study of viruses. it's a level 4 facility that has spent decades studiying how viruses jump from animals to the humans. we know they know how to make bat infections for infectious and powerful.

the lab lacked safety standards and we also know that american taxpayer money went towards that study from 2011 to 2014 when president obama pulled the funding over concerns that it was just too risky. the u.s. state department also reported that lab staffers that got sick with covid symptoms early in the fall of 2019. before much of the chinese public. all very convenient, isn't it? >> we would have to ask the question well, why in wuhan, to quote humphrey bogart, of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world why wuhan? >> rachel: despite all of those coincidences the media took china's talking points hook, line and sinker. not only did they refuse to dig into the possibility that covid sprung from the lab, they actually laughed off anyone who suggested that it might have. >> senator tom cotton has raised the idea that the coronavirus

originate in the chinese government lab is this credible or a full-on conspiracy? >> it's very harmful. it's very dangerous to stir up suspicions, rumors and spread them among the people. how can we believe all these crazy things? >> rachel: "the washington post" and the "new york times" mocked tom cotton for pushing a fringe conspiracy in february of 2020. now, i wonder in light of everything we now know, if they still feel like laughing. >> rachel: joining us now from the great state of arkansas is senator tom cotton. i imagine you must feel a little bit vindicated. i want to talk very quickly about this report that's coming out tomorrow from the w.h.o. we're expecting for it to say that it came from -- covid came from. >> anna: mall and not from the lab. but we know that the investigators were not given full access and that they weren't even allowed to speak to the scientists without communist government minders with them.

so, is this report just a big joke? >> hey, rachel, thanks for having me on. the report is a joke. these so-called investigators do not have access to scientists. they do not have access to evidence. they basically went to wuhan, put in a conference room and given coffee and donuts and few powerpoint slides. chinese government said nothing to see here so they walked away saying nothing to see here. as some of the media outlets like the "new york times" and "new york post" have acknowledged after calling me a conspiracy thirst a year ago there are real serious questions about the origins of this virus. now, to be precise, last year i didn't say that the chinese communists had created this virus or invented it. i said they have a long and documented history of sloppy laboratory practices. our diplomats went to this lab in 2018 and expressed their concerns and cables back to washington, d.c. i still believe that all of the best evidence that we have, circumstantial to be sure, but still the best evidence suggests that this virus originated have

an accidental breach in those wuhan labs. >> rachel: so, one of the best pieces that we have that they were hiding something is that they were actually punishing or even disappearing the whistleblowers. shouldn't that have been the best clue for the media and for those that were mocking you? >> that's a very good indicator, rachel. that's just one piece of evidence that we have that says this virus, although it may have come from. >> anna: mall, most likely came from accidental breach in those laboratories. their claims that started in a wet market were disproven from the earliest days of this virus. their refusal to let american or international scientists into wuhan in the early days of this virus. to speak to scientists in the early days all suggest they were trying to cover something up. >> rachel: senator cotton, secretary of state blinken says that we shouldn't worry about punishing china for all the lies and even the spread of covid that we should just look forward. we should focus on building a stronger system.

what do you say? >> tens of millions of americans have had their lives upended over the last year, rachel. they have lost jobs. their businesses have closed. they have lost loved ones. i don't think those americans want to simply turn the page and let bygones be by gones. we need to get to the bottom of what happened in wuhan and how the chinese communist unleashed this plague on the world and need to hold them accountable both directly through measures like my legislation open lawsuits. standing up to their aggression against our country and allies or their efforts to steal our jobs or steal our property both directly or indirectly, china needs to pay. >> rachel: in a practical sense though, can we even get to the bottom of it? hasn't there just been so much time that has passed that they have been able to hide the evidence? even if we were able to talk to the scientists without the government minders, for example? >> rachel, i believe that you are right. that the evidence that might

have existed that it fully explained the origins of this virus has probably been destroyed in china. i think the only way we will ever know conclusively is if there is a whistleblower that emerges one day from china. i hope that's the case. i hope we get to the bottom of what happened here. whatever happened, we know that china is responsible for unleashing this plague on the world. we shouldn't just turn the page the way the biden administration wants to. we need to hold them to account. >> rachel: we know there has been serious conflicts of interest with peter dazsak interviewed on "60 minutes" and his connection with dr. fauci. will we ever get any investigations into that? >> well, i think it's important to review all of the relationships and all of the work that american scientists and american institutions did in wuhan and did with china we don't want to rejudge them but we want to make sure we have total and complete transparency for the american people and the origins and the development over the last year of the worst pandemic in century, rachel.

>> rachel: yeah, it's really quite scary. you were just down at the border by the way. and i want to ask you because dr. fauci has been talking about this new strain, this new variant of covid that is, you know, very dangerous. it appears to be attacking younger kids, healthy people, very scary situation. we know that people from latin america are coming to our southern border. each from brazil. so, should dr. fauci be talking about the border and what that impact is on covid and our recovery? i mean, really, it's happening just as we are starting to get a little hope here. >> yeah, of course it's a very dangerous situation on our border, rachel. it's not just that we have opened our borders and invited anyone to come here with a child to be let in to live basically for the rest of their lives without ever going back. but we do risk introducing the coronavirus and its new variant at the border and then ultimately around the country. when we were in one of these facilities they had teenage boys separated on an outdoor field in two groups of about 50 and one was the coronavirus positive

group. the other one was the negative group. they had just been packed into rooms a few hours earlier with each other yet, those boys, just like so many other migrants who have tested positive for the coronavirus are still being put on planes and trains and buses and sent all around the country. >> rachel: it's outrageous and definitely something that i think dr. fauci should weigh in on. senator cotton, such a pleasure for having you. thank you for joining us. >> thanks, rachel. >> rachel: most of the dan bongino show dan, always a pleasure to have you. thank you for joining us tonight. >> happy to be here, rachel. >> rachel: why don't i get your quick reaction on what happened with the interview with tom cotton but also this information coming out about the report from the w.h.o. that appears to say like nothing happened at the lab? >> yeah, yeah. no worries. they said nothing happened so segment is over. thanks -- you are doing a great job with the 7:00 hour. i mean, seriously? you brought up a great point.

and you kind of doubled down on it with senator cotton. he said listen, it's circumstantial evidence, that this may have happened. i get it. i was a federal investigator. and a police officer for a long time. circumstantial evidence that this vice may have come from a lab. but, rachel, circumstantial evidence is evidence that's why it's called circumstantial evidence and not circumstantial supposition. okay? cases are made all the time at the federal level. i know, i investigated many of them as an agent that are made and built on circumstantial evidence. i mean, does it bother anyone at all that this wuhan virology lab, which just happened at the ground zero, that area, for this deadly plague leashed upon the earth, unleashed upon the earth. does it bother anyone that they were doing gana function when you add and test the arnot, the infectious nature of the virus and lethality of the virus

either add to it or test it. does that bother anyone? i mean, why are we not allowed to ask questions? you brought up an interesting point that i want want to double down on it. the way we should have known this was serious was that the media started losing their mind about it. that was excellent. i was clapping for you. that's it that's how we know a story likely has some element of truth to it is that the media loses their mind about it and says it's not true. bingo, you just nailed it. that's when you triple down and make sure you really investigate. >> rachel: he certainly feels vindication indicated and he should. i want to talk a little bit about fauci. the most political health bureaucrat we have ever had and, yet, he hasn't said anything about the border policies from the biden administration, particularly as he is announcing that we all need to be very careful because there is this new variant coming up from brazil. i heard martha raddatz interview people from brazil come in.

so where is he? >> yeah. this is confusing. they somehow found a constitutional right to demand people wear masks, double masks in some cases but, you know, put the old deuce on right there. put the double maverick. they missed somehow the constitutional right of america to have definable borders. i don't know about that. they must be reading a different constitution the whole we the people thing got thrown out. you know, listen, it's hard to take anything these people say seriously anymore. i took a little note when i was listening to tom cotton's interview. how many times can these people be wrong? how many times can they be wrong? how many times are we supposed to take these people seriously? like, is someone keeping a chart like when you are wrong x plus 0 times or whatever then we can ignore you? how many times in the media and some of these experts about this virus going to be wrong and send us in the wrong direction? we're right to ask questions. that's what the media, by the way, should be doing. >> rachel: the latest thing is dr. fauci said children should

be wearing masks when they play together outside. it's ridiculous. there is zero science. i just wonder when will the power grab end? how much more do we have to take? that is not based on science, by the way, dan, i'm worried about our children coming outs of this whole pandemic neurotic. i mean, i say that sincerely as a mom. >> you are not wrong. and by the way my child's school they have no mask mandate at all. they have had no problems whatsoever. zero issues there at that school at all. you know, and by the way, what about the environmental damage done with all these masks, too. it's totally bizarre. they don't care about the environment when it comes to that stuff. it's all about the pseudo science all the time. >> rachel: dan, thank you again, i can't thank you enough for joining me you are one of my favorite guests. >> you are one of my favorite hosts. you are doing a great job. >> rachel: take care. several left wing groups are calling for a boycott for the state of georgia. they want the masters and the baseball's all-star game moved out of the state.

how they are outraged over georgia's new voting law which they call racist. georgia governor brian kemp joins me exclusively to respond next. ♪ stay with us. ♪ ♪

>> rachel: today marks the first day in the murder trial of former minneapolis police officer derek chauvin. who pleaded, by the way, not guilty to second degree murder, third degree, and second degree murder and manslaughter 10 months after the death of george floyd. trace gallagher has been following it all day. >> good evening to you. opening statements gave prosecutor jerry blackwell an opening to show what is the most damaging piece of evidence the video of former police officer derek chauvin putting his knee on george floyd's neck.

what the prosecutor said was nine minutes and 29 seconds. watch. >> he put his knees upon his neck and his back, blinding and crushing him until the very breath, no, ladies and gentlemen, until the very life was squeezed out of him. >> prosecutor went on to say that chauvin used excessive force and warned off a fire department employee who was shouts at chauvin to check floyd's pulse. chauvin's attorney eric nelson defended his client saying that george floyd was resisting arrest before chauvin arrived on scene. and his other officer struggled to get floyd into the squad car, derek chauvin did exactly what he had been trained to do and that putting his knee on george floyd's neck had nothing to do with the cause of death. watch him. >> the evidence will show that when confronted by police, mr. floyd put drugs in his mouth in an effort to conceal them

from the police. what was mr. floyd's actual cause of death? the evidence will show that mr. floyd died of a cardiac arrhythmia a occurred as a result of hypertension, his coronary disease, the ingestion of methamphetamine and fentanyl. >> trace: throughout the day derek chauvin calmly took note and occasionally looked up at the multiple video screens in court but the jurors intently scared at those screens. one even gasped during part of the video. there are 14 people in the jury box. 8 are white, six are black or multiracial. only 12 of them will deliberate and right now it's unclear which 12 the judge will eventually select. rachel? >> rachel: cancel culture is coming for the whole state of georgia. the peach state under fire over a controversial new voting law signed by the governor last week. organizations are now demanding that major league baseball all-star games and the masters changed locations under

protests. the movement is being met with resistance from none other than bernice king, the daughter of martin luther king jr. who says that the georgia boycott would hurt middle class workers and people grappling with poverty, increasing the harm of both racism and classism. here now is the man who signed the bill into law just a few days ago, georgia governor brian kemp. welcome, governor. thank you so much for joining us tonight. >> good to be with you. thank you. >> rachel: so i can't think of anything more important than securing our elections and restoring confidence, which i think so many people have lost, especially over this last year. tell our viewers what you think this new georgia bill will do to restore confidence in georgia's elections? >> well, it's very simple it. makes it easy to vote and hard to cheat. really the four main things that i just want to make sure that people realize what the bill does. it takes the signature match process and replaces it with the voter i.d., which is free in georgia. it secures drop boxes in a

better way than was done in the last election. also requires poll workers to continuously count or tabulate the ballots until every vote is counted. and then texas pandz access for our early voting period, especially on the weekends. >> rachel: as you know, democrats are raging mad about this bill. they say your bill is racist. what do you say that they are objecting. to say what do you perceive that to be? >> i mean, look, it's just a talking point. i don't know how anybody could honestly read the facts behind this bill and what the bill does. it is providing more access with weekend voting. it's securing drop boxes that never were allowed in elections in georgia before this year and that was only done through an emergency order, so it codifies that into law. the democrats act like we are taking something away because we just want to secure the drop boxes inside the polling locations. and it's doing a lot of other

things that mecha mechanically s during the election with how long it took to count all the votes. that's behind the voter i.d. piece on ballots by mail it. removes an arbitrary process that was very cumbersome for local election workers. i have talked to them. the photo i.d. or voter i.d. requirement will speed that process up. takes away, you know, the arbitrary nature of a signature match it's done by multiple people and things of that nature. of course, the other side, they don't care what is in the bill. this narrative has been thought out long before they even knew what was going to be in the final version. and if you look at the debate that's happened over the last several weeks, you know, their narrative has changed of what they were against and what they are now against. it's, you know, how really comes down to water and whether you are taking water away from people that are standing in line and that's not the case either. that's just not true. >> rachel: so do you think that

the businesses in georgia are going to, you know, collapse or succumb to the pressure from the left in terms of this boycott and how will that affect georgia? >> i don't believe that they will. i mean, i agree with bernie king it's wrong for people especially in light of these activists that are benefiting financially from pushing this narrative to punish hard-working georgians, great institutions like the masters and major league baseball and other things in our state that, by the way, employ a lot of hard-working georgians that are trying to fight through this pandemic. >> rachel: yeah, well the two senators in your state are supporting that boycott. it's an interesting way to support georgia. governor, thanks so much for joining us tonight. >> thank you, take care. >> rachel: all right. coming up, a big problem being down played by the biden administration. criminals. blending in with migrants and crossing our southern border. how just one border sector says it caught hundreds of criminals in just the last few days.

>> rachel: it's hard to exaggerate the magnitude of the crisis at our southern border. every single day thousand of illegal immigrants arrive, including a never before seen number of children and teenagers, nearly 500 a day. the vast majority come with criminal traffickers who understood on election day that their business model was about to change dramatically. think about it. if you are a cartel boss, hard core drugs will still be illegal in biden's america. if you are caught bringing them over the border, law enforcement will confiscate your product and your profits. but cartels have another product, one that thinks that joe biden's new border policies will not be stopped or turned away at the border. kids. and now brand new numbers from dh is nearly 12,000 migrant

children are currently in hhs care. children and any adults who claims to be with the child are now welcomed, open arms. that's right. trafficking kids is the new dope for the cartels. it's a business worth tens of billions of dollars. on november 6th, the evil and ruthless mexican cartels understood that the border doors were being flung wide open. it's why jen psaki can cynically tell chris wallace this. >> there was an increase of about 31% of people coming to the border through the final months of the trump administration. it's about a 29% increase since president biden took office. >> rachel: well, duh. the cartels wasted no time waste their services via radio, no less. and developing data systems and bracelets to trace their desperate indentured servants, under president trump illegal border crossing were at a

45-year low. sips election day 2020 they have already topped a 20-year high. on day one of the biden administration, the construction of our border walls came to a screeching halt. putting thousands of american workers out of business. at the same time, biden created new jobs for the cartels who now control our southern border. also on day one through executive order biden ended the stay in mexico policy, perhaps hands down the most effective policy deterrent for anyone considering the long, dangerous and expensive journey to our border. who would bother coming if they were going to be held up in mexico and eventually turned away for not meeting our immigration requirements? joe biden and mayorkas knew that changing this bilateral agreement would return us to the good old catch and release days of the obama-biden years.

now, to hide the magnitude of this problem, they are dumping bus loads of illegal immigrants into american towns with no warnings. no testing, no criminal background checks, and no knowledge of who these people are. here's the mayor of gila bend, arizona confused as to why his little town was even chosen as a dropoff location. >> i literally had to declare a state of emergency. this is beyond what we are capable of doing as a community of about 2,000 people. we just simply can't do it. >> how many other places is our federal government dropping off illegal foreigners? i have to tell you, nothing makes me angrier than the biden administration wrapping this all up in compassion. >> i guess i should be flattered people are coming because i'm the nice guy. that's the reach why it's happening that i'm a decent man or however it is phrased, you know, that's why they are coming because they know biden is a

good guy. >> rachel: no, biden is not a good guy. he is a stone cold political operator. what we are witnessing at our border is not humanitarianism. it is a large scale voter drive endorsed by wall street and big business who profit off of cheap immigrant labor. and if little girls and boys get raped, abused, sold into inten temperatured servitude or spread new and deadlier deadly variants of covid it doesn't matter to biden and haste. for progressives the ends always justify the means. >> pete hegseth joins me now to respond. is he an army veteran and co-host of "fox & friends weekend." pete, welcome to the show. >> pete: thank you, rachel. >> rachel: so, i said this in my opening and i say it again, it just really steams me when they say it's humanitarianism. >> pete: well, rachel, so well said the way you laid it out.

of course it's humanitarian because they tell us and the media reinforces that they care for their -- they care more, therefore the result doesn't matter as much. don't judge them by the result. just judge them by the fact that everyone tells us they care so much more. what i see are more kids and the same cages built by democrats, obama now used by democrats ultimately, and very, very cynically as you pointed out. so the more border patrol agents you need, nowadays it's two third of border patrol agents are in the business of processing unaccompanied minors. two thirds, that's the data right now are processing unaccompanied minors. so they are the end state of the cartels as you pointed out so beautifully. the other one third are left to deal with the other part of the business which are criminals illegals, still trying to sneak across the border. drugs still being trafficked across the border. our border patrol agents are spread completely thin. but don't worry, kamala harris is on the case.

maybe i think the best thing she could do, rachel is go to the northern triangle countries and she should talk about how systemically racist america is and then maybe no one will want to come here anymore. that might be the most effective thing that she could do down there because, the thing she is more concerned about, i don't know if you saw this on cnn they did an article about the fact that the naval observatory where the vice president normally lives, it's not ready yet. it's undergoing renovations, kamala harris has spent time visiting her not ready renovated house she is so frustrate she'd can't live there she is living out of suit cases at the blair house at the white house that will not do. remember, she is finding us she is not in charge of the immigration policy. she won't go to the border. she does the diplomatic side. she want nothing to do with this. it all comes down to what they laid out in the end maybe they don't want a solution in the first place. maybe they want dreamers 3.0. they see future voters and that's the scary reality of this which you know.

>> rachel: yeah, well, senator kennedy said it's easy peasy, just go back to the policies in december and we can solve this problem. pete, again, thank you. >> exactly. >> rachel: thank you so much for joining us tonight. >> thank you, rachel. >> rachel: you got it. coming up, how taxpayers are shelling out big money to house illegal immigrants as we see a surge in homeless u.s. citizens. how can we spend that money better on needy americans. dr. ben carson joins me next. ♪

>> thank you, rachel. it's nice to be with you. >> rachel: thank you. well, we know there is a homeless problem. i'm here in new york. we see it everywhere. if there is an ability by the u.s. government to open up our bases or pay for hotel rooms, shouldn't they first have been offered to american homeless families or in particular american veterans who are homeless? >> well, one would certainly think that. you would think that our priorities would be in that direction. but, for some strange reason, you know, we seem to be prone down into this camp of virtue signalers who say, you know, we are the most compassionate people and we solve everybody's issues. and that's not true. you know, the money that we use on people who are coming here illegally is very, very substantial amount of money and it has a domino effect. if you took that same money and you worked to improve the situation where they came from, i think it wouldn't cost us any

more money and it would be a better situation for them. in the meantime, we have a ton -- we have tens of thousands of people in this country who are homeless and who need our help. and the fact of the matter is, you know, we have the housing first advocates, just put them in the shelter. i think it has to be housing first, second and third. put shelter over their head and then housing second. as you diagnose the reason that they're there in the first place and housing third you fix it. all these people with drug addictions we need to work on that. we can't continue to let that grow. it will have a very devastating effect on our society. and the mentally ill people. many of them are quite functional if they had the appropriate attention and care, medications and counseling. so that's real compassion, getting people out of those situations. not just patting them on the head and saying there, there.

you poor little thing and i'm so wonderful and, you know, it really is kind of sickening to watch it going on. and i think a lot of americans actually realize what's going on. but, you know, they don't speak up. we're going to have to start speaking up. we are going to have to start really talking about what makes sense going to meetings, talking to legislators and making your voice known because america is of and for and by the people. unless we make our voices known we are going to lose it. >> rachel: i agree. dr. carson i want to bring up another issue. other than the unborn i can't think of anyone more vulnerable than foster children. we know that the foster care system has been strained during covid. we have seen spikes in child abuse now we are hearing calls or reports that foster parents have been called to take on more foster children from the border, children coming over illegally from the border. what do you make of that? oh, we lost him.

all right. well, i will tell you what i think. i think it's outrageous and many of these people have been called and told to accept two, three, four, even up to 26 more foster children. i think it's wrong and we ought to look into this because we know that covid has really strained our social services system and no one is suffering more than foster children. coming up: some warn our children's literature is looking more and more like chinese children's literature. why our next guest who grew up in china says stopping the next cultural revolution starts with your own library next. ♪ ♪

inspiring, they can teach lifelong lessons and, let's face it, they are just plain fun. hearing how children's literature is changing by the day is alarming to me. there is even a new book titled woke baby. when dr. suess books started to be canceled, i read a really interesting article about the slippery slope we are headed down. my next guest helen rally says tyranny begins with book burning. she escaped communist china in the 190s to study in the united states seeking freedom and the american dream. she often writes about her family's experience living under communism and warns about their ideas seeping into the u.s. she says, quote: in a totalitarian regime children's books aren't meant to bring any joy or inspire a healthy imagination. instead, their sole purpose is to instill the ideology in young minds so we would become to

devoted soldier of communism. she joins me now. she is on the ccp communist party blacklist for speak her behind. welcome, helen, an honor to have you here today. tell me what are the similarities with what you experienced with children's literature in china and what you are seeing now happening in the united states? >> good evening, rachel. thanks for having me. it's really alarming to see how similar what's happening, what's happening in china versus what's happening here. i mentioned in my article as i was growing up there were very few children's literature to read. and many of them were dull, colorless and focused on imaginations. focused on political indoctrination. although in today's america we are not quite there yet but you are seeing this, you know, it's already happening that canceling dr. suess book and also we are indoctrinating children from a very young age about transgenderrism about the white nationalism, about how the

children's need to check their privilege from as young as 3 or 4 years old to teach them that the color of their skin determine they're lives. those are all very scary trends. >> rachel: yeah, it really is. you talk about one of the joys that you had of becoming a mother here in the united states was that you got to rediscover all this very whimsical dr. suess books and all this joyful kids' literature and now you are seeing it going back the other way. i loved your article, helen, it isn't just a downer, you say we as parent and i say grandparents, we all forget about the power of grandparents that we all have the power to change this and you say we should start with creating our own freedom library. i have to tell you i love this. a freedom library for your children in your home. you say how should we start that freedom library. what's the first purchases? helen? she is froze? okay, well, listen, i will tell you what she said.

she said the first thing you should do is start by purchasing all the book that the left says that we -- that they want to have us banned. the next thing she says is to start, you know, buying more books. so i created a list for myself. helen created her own list. i'm going to start with my list. my list includes okay, smirk still the most extraordinary place on earth. you are not imagining that progressives are trying to fund meltly change america and their primary target is through our children. parents and grandparents, we are the children's first and most influential teachers. and our job as helen so beautifully says is to preserve truth, beauty, wisdom, and diverse ideas of our sizzles. civilization the better hope that future generations won't have to live in a colorless, dull and ignorant illiberal world. we will post our list online. thank you for watching "fox news primetime" i'm rachel cam he is is -- campos-duffy and tucker
