>> are you saying that you have not had a recent interview with the fbi since becoming secretary of state? >> i'm, -- i -- i'm not sure what you are referring to and i'm happy to take that up with you off line. >> did the state department turn over documents to the fbi related to hunter biden, burisma and/or the blue state strategies corporation? >> um, you will have to, um,. >> so have you no knowledge of this? are you saying you have not had an interview with the fbi since. >> it would not be appropriate for me to comment in a public forum on any legal proceedings that the department. >> i'm not asking you to comment on the legal proceedings. i'm just asking if you have been interviewed by the fbi since becoming secretary of state. >> um, again, i'm not going to comment one way or another on any legal proceedings or not that may or may not have happened. >> let me remind the gentleman

that the topic of this hearing is afghanistan. that's what we are. >> i appreciate it, mr. chairman. but the secretary generally refuses to answer questions about afghanistan so i just figured we would talk about something he should be intimately familiar with. have you sought to alter any of your testimony from last year's senate investigation regarding this topic? [gavel] >> the gentleman's time is expired. lawrence lawrps the man asking those questions is senator scott perry he is here to react. congressman, is very clear the secretary of state was caught off guard. he was stumbling. what are you getting at right there? why did you choose that line of questioning? what do you know? >> well, lawrence, first of all, thank you very much. it's better to offer no excuse than a series of bad excuses that hearing certainly proves to the american people that poor excuse for secretary of state and even worse one for president of the united states. but with that being said, listen, what we're trying to do is -- obviously blinken is well-coached, he wouldn't come in person. is he on video so he can

prescript all the questions. we can't -- you know, the screen goes dark when we're talking so he has time to see our questions and hear our questions and then get an answer from his advisers before he actually answers. and he wasn't going to answer any questions realistically on the horrific failure of afghanistan so i thought i would talk to him about something that i knew was reported that he had had conversations with the fbi and that potentially they have called him back in because something is not matching up regarding his relationship with hunter biden when he was assistant secretary of state. i think it's something that the american people ought to know. i questioned this secretary of state's judgment and his credibility regarding afghanistan and everything else and the fact that he has had a close relationship with hunter biden when he was assistant secretary of state regarding events in ukraine, that's very concerning to the american people and i think we ought to know what it is. >> lawrence: i want to slow you down for a second because i think this is important for the audience to know. are you saying that you know for

a fact that he met with the fbi regarding his relationship with hunter biden? it. and that's secretary antony blinken. >> lawrence: do you know anything about the relationship between hunter biden and the secretary? because a lot of americans are trying to figure out why is he contacting the deputy secretary of state? -- would he be able to do that if he wasn't joe biden's son? what is the reach for that connection? >> well, there are emails out there in open source that show the conversation was not about as i understand it what antony blinken said which was bo biden. i don't think they are about bo biden. i think they are about issues of ukraine and other navy projects that hunter biden was working on and that's per the emails that

are oalready out there. >> lawrence: are you suggesting it was burisma? >> i can't suggest anything. i want the secretary of state, you know, he wants to talk to me offline, i suggest that he talk to the american people and let all of us know what he was talking with hunter biden about. >> lawrence: has he called you, congressman he? talked with that during the hearing that he was willing to talk off line. has there been any coordination between your office to sit down with the secretary to get some answers? because he doesn't want the american people to hear about that today. >> no. he did not. you could tell by the look on his face he didn't deny it, right? but you he hasn't called me about it. maybe he is calling you, lawrence, but he hasn't called me about it. >> lawrence: do you plan to reaching back to his office since he said under oath today that he was willing to do that? do you plan on reaching out to his office to get those answers? we certainly do, lawrence. we are just representatives of the people. the important thing is that the people have this information. we need to know whether this guy

is credible. whether his judgment is sound. just, remember, he just presided. he and president biden presided over the worst foreign policy and national security failure in united states history. i think there is reach to question everything that he has been involved in. >> lawrence: congressman, why did your chairman cut you off in the middle of that hearing? because it seemed like when you were getting to the facts of the story, and he started to shuffle a little bit, that the chairman jumped in. is that procedure in the house? >> well, what's procedure is by democrats and you look they all close rank no matter how horrific the policy is, 13 dead marines, america being, you know, our reputation being dragged across the world stage, they all close ranks and do whatever is necessary to support the failed policy and their president joe biden. they don't care about the american people. they care about the power that they have and they are not going to let anybody assail their secretary of state, you know, on an open mike, so, yeah, he had to cut it off. >> lawrence: congressman, thanks so much for coming on.

we will keep digging into the story. also here miranda divine fox news contributor and "new york post." you have been following this story from the beginning. you are writing a book about this laptop from hell. shady businesses from the beginning. what we saw today was a cover up in that hearing today. >> you did. you saw it in realtime. i congratulate the congressman on tackling antony blinken on this story on his relationship with hunter biden. his meetings with hunter biden, which has never really been covered. and which they managed to cover up themselves. and i think you saw for the first time antony blinken today. he was very smooth, very oily, very prepared, except on that question. he was really realgted. and he just was stammering and not wanting to answer the question. and he should be rattled. because in my book, in the laptop, hunter biden's laptop that he abandoned, there is

ample evidence of the relationship between antony blinken and the biden family. antony blinken also testified at the johnson grassley senate hearing that he was socially friendly with hunter biden. used to meet him at washington, d.c. parties. we know from emails on the laptop that there was several interchanges between hunter biden and antoni olympicen. we don't know exactly what hunter biden wanted to talk to him about it was something to do with overseas businesses. he asked to speak with antony blinken in his office. he was invited to come and meet him and to enter via back entrance where he wouldn't have to be signed in where a member of blinken's staff would let him in the diplomatic entrance. an initial meeting in may withis canceled and another meeting was held in july. all we know about what happened inside that meeting according to antony blinken he testified all

they talked about was the death of bo biden, hunter biden's brother, joe biden's eldest son. and he said he couldn't remember anything else that they talked about, which is really beyond belief. >> lawrence: during the campaign trail when joe biden was a candidate. he promised that the investigation would continue. that he wouldn't obstruct this investigation. but i haven't heard anything about this investigation. what is happening? >> who knows? there is a lot of people being investigated. hunter biden, investigation jim biden into him. so who know what is will happen. what we do know with antony blinken was at the time that hunter biden wanted to meet him, the state department lower level people in ukraine were very concerned about hunter biden's relationship with this corrupt oligarch la krzyzewski. the will paying couple million

bucks a year. so, you know, these lower level people like george kent were trying to sound the alarm and say that it's terrible when america and joe biden, the vice president, who is going into ukraine and lecturing them about corruption his son is getting paid and involved with and traveling with and friends with one of the most corrupt kleptomaniac oligarchs in the ukraine. everyone in ukraine knew that and the lower level flunkies at the state department are trying to sound the alarm and nobody is listening. finally amock and george kent finally managed to filter through one of the joe biden on the air to airplane ukraine. next thing hunter biden is ringing him up says my dad says you have got a problem. so they went and met at a cafe off line don't know except amos

did tell hunter biden unwise for him to continue having this leadership with la jeffs ski we know he continued to be paid by burisma way up until the end. >> lawrence: $50,000 a month. this is interesting. i have got to go, miranda. the democrats were. >> 83,000. >> lawrence: they were so interested in ukraine, right? now we are all interested. all political parties are interested. the democrats now aren't interested anymore because it happened to do with donald trump now it these do with the bidens. it shows you the hypocrisy and it's just sad. thank you so much, miranda for coming on the program. also here tonight dakota meyers medal of honor recipient and fox news contributor. dakota, i want to get your reaction to the secretary's performance today. he still doesn't know how many americans are there? >> i mean, look, are we surprised? right? here's what i'm really upset about though is why are we talking about hunter biden again? like, we know that the level of

accountment for the biden administration is 180-degree difference than it was for the trump administration, right? so, look, we all know hunter biden is garbage. let's move on. i want to know why are we not asking questions about how do we have 13 u.s. service members dead and who is going to be held account being for this? >> yeah so, let me ask you this, dakota, do you blame the president of the united states and what he did at that moment for those 13 service members being dead today? >> i mean, absolutely, right? and, look, here's the deal. when you are at the top, you might be age to delegate -- you might be time delegate like what needs to be done. you might need to delegate tasks. but the one thing when you are at the top that you cannot delegate is that responsibility and accountability. and the president of the united states needs to be held accountable. we had donald trump who got impeached for less than this i mean, it is just insane the hypocrisy that is going on with the left right here. and i don't understand how they are going to switch this off and

try to get past this. i mean, somebody has got to be held accountable. is it the military's fault? did they give him bad information? did they give the president bad information? was the secretary of state's fault? who is it? whose fault is it at the end of the day we can all agree on that this did not go well. this didn't go well for anyone. this didn't go well for the left, for the right. this is not a bipartisan question of if this went well. who is going to be held accountable. >> lawrence: dakota, do you think the members of congress were asking the right questions? what would you have asked? >> i mean, look, we all know how this goes, right? i mean, he walks in there. he has got all of his -- he has been prepped on this for who knows how long. none of that stuff matters. when the camera is on, none of this matters. what matters is that they keep looking for this. why are we not opening up investigations on this? what is going to happen? i want to know what are -- what is -- what are the people who are supposed to be making laws, who are supposed to be holding people accountable on these laws? what is congress going to do to

hold our president and this administration accountable? i keep going back to accountability. this is so simple. it's accountability. who is going to be held accountable? >> lawrence: dakota, i think you are so right. part of accountability is all the people that were a part of this need to be there. the national security joint chiefs need to be there. the secretary of state, i don't need to he she said. i don't need the elites. we need to know what happened. they need to be looking at each other and looking at the american people one time. that way we can figure out what exactly happened and who is running the show. clearly the president isn't. thank you so much for your service, sir. >> thank you. >> lawrence: coming up. when it comes to religious vaccine exemptions, faced with a personal battle between you and god and apparently joe biden. why you are probably not religious enough to skip out on getting the jab. that's next. ♪

♪ >> lawrence: welcome back. so we have been warning you about this. the fight over religious liberty is now underway in america. the biden administration has thrown the first punch. last week the white house trampled on the freedom of 80 million americans by introducing vaccine mandates. but one thing it failed to clarify was the role of religious exemptions would play. >> i know how he said there would be religious exemptions that would exist for federal workers and the like. how about for mega churches, other religious organizations in this country of more than 100 employees? what right do they have under these yet to be created rules? >> this is going to be for osha to determine as they are doing the rule making and department of labor. so, i will not get ahead of that process. >> lawrence: so as they figure out how to deal with your faith when it comes to exemptions don't forget that on the campaign trail. biden's stressed the role of his catholic faith and his life. >> faith is what has gotten me

through difficult times in my life. faith, it's all about hope and purpose and strength. and, for me, my religion is just an enormous sense of solace. >> lawrence: funny how much things change and in a year. the biden white house is now singing a different hymn when it comes to religion. george general sought to clarify their position this weekend. >> some of the exemptions allow for people not to get vaccine for medical or religious reasons. any concerns that people will abuse those exemptions in order to avoid getting the vaccine? >> we have got to being vigilant there and make sure that people are using them, you know, in the spirit that they are intended and not, you know, abusing them or asking for exceptions when they don't apply. that's one area that we continue to monitor. >> lawrence: you heard that right you will be monitored by the white house to see if your religious beliefs are up to snuff for an exemption. the administration has created a religious litmus test where you

have to prove that your faith passes their muster. faith is supposed to be personal as the bible tells us jesus said to him i am the way, i am the truth and the light. i no one comes to the father except through me. apparently you need to go through joe biden now, too. joining me now is "fox & friends weekend" co-host rachel campos-duffy and buck sexton. rachel, we know how important your faith is to you. you are a catholic as well. it is just strange to me that joe biden is not taking it as seriously when it comes to being pro-life but now all of a sudden he is a man of faith. >> rachel: yeah, i mean, you bring up a good point in the introduction here when you said our faith is supposed to be very personal, our healthcare our health history used to be personal. i'm trying to gets over the fact, lawrence, that i live in a country that asks me for my papers and wants to know my medical decisions and history

and wants to monitor whether my faith exempt -- my religious exemption matches what they think is legitimate or not. this is crazy. and joe biden has proven time and time again that -- you know, the rosalie beads he carried in his commercials and all the talk about religion and all the glowing pieces in the "new york times" about his faith are nothing but a bunch of garbage he has not stood with religious people. he has not stood with the unborn and, in fact, it was the last president, a president who many criticized for his religious liberty is important and so is health liberty. and here we are seeing interesting intersection. and now we know that the biden administration wants to take a page out of the china playbook and not the american playbook. and our country was founded on religious freedom, lawrence, we

ought to stick to that and i am so worried that after this pandemic we are becoming more like china than america. >> rachel: so, buck, i have got to ask. this is not a republican issue, it's not a democrat issue. it's an american issue. so where are the civil libertarians on the left? shouldn't they be screaming right now? '. >> lawrence, all of the sudden it's very clear that they weren't really concerned with civil liberties in recent years, actually. you can see what's gone on with the shut down of churches during the pandemic while big box stores are open you can go buy a flat screen tv but you couldn't worship and go to church mosque or synagogue among other places and so somehow the civil libertarians were okay with this. the problem we are going to run into here the enlarging the administrative state that is occurring in realtime because of covid is something democrats like, so the double standard that will come up, the micromanagement that is already on display when it comes to religious exemption, they like all of this.

they have bureaucrats making these determinations and allows them to be even more infused into your day-to-day lives and ultimately just trying to break the will of people here. that's what the mandates are all about to continue to resist. so they are going to say well, a lot of people aren't really connens shut in their objections if you will to the vaccine. they are just trying to get around the loophole harass people. they will undermine true conscientious objection to this and it's all because ultimately they will not be happy until every man, woman, and child, and i mean baby gets a vaccine, shot, and then another one and probably another one after that because that's what we are seeing happen in realtime. >> lawrence: unbelievable. rachel, this obviously is wrong what do you think the courts are going to do? >> rachel: well, i hope people do. i hope we see more civil disobedience. i will tell you this, lawrence. i think all of this has to bear some responsibility and especially our religious leaders as buck just brought up. back in the beginning of this pandemic, when they shut down churches, and they left abortion clinics open and bike shops open

and all their other favorite, you know, big businesses that their donors open. we should have never allowed our churches to be closed. i went, lawrence, to a mass in secret at last summer where i also received communion in secret. it was entirely first century. in fact, it was very chinese. it was something you would expect to see in the middle east. this is not america we should have never allowed them to do this and now seeing august this-the way it's gone all the way to this religious exemption. they are going to monitor us. they are going to try to shut us down people on the internet there is a huge increase of people looking for information on how to get an exemption, a religious exemption because there are many people for lots of reasons, including religious reasons that do not want to take this vaccine. >> are their religion is fauciism is what is spreading across the nation right now.

that's what you are allowed to freely practice and freely exercise. >> lawrence: it's incredible. it's amazing, we are still submitting and obeying to the state and apparently our elected leaders understand where they get the power from. maybe we are just allowing it like you said, rachel. our kids deserve to be back in school. the lockdowns have to stop. people have to get back to work. anyway, thank you so much for being on the program. up next, more kids being shot in chicago than have died from covid across the entire country. who do you think joe biden is frustrated with? i will give you a hint. it's not the people doing the shooting. that's next on "fox news primetime." ♪ ♪

>> lawrence: there is no end in sight when it documents gun violence in chicago just this weekend 60 people were shot 11 of those victims were under the age of 18. joe biden would tell you that he cares about the kids when it comes to covid. after all, that's why is he pushing masks, vaccinations in schools. but just this year more kids have been shot in chicago alone

than have died of covid in the whole country. according to the chicago p.d. at least 261 kids have been shot in chicago this year. now compare that to 214 covid related deaths. the life of every child is important. and each death is a tragedy. no matter how they died. so why does it feel like joe biden is only frustrated about covid? joining me now is the founder of black guns matter. this is a topic near and dear to my heart, your heart. why is it any interest in the president of the united states on this issue? i mean, he talks about vaccination and masking and lockdowns and keeping people safe. but the kids that are being shot, every single day, not a word. >> well, because joe biden doesn't care about black people. it's not complicated. he spent most of his political career locking black people up. joe biden, even when he was famously running to be the, are you know, vice president, you

know, said obama, you know, he is one of the clean ones. joe biden has zero interest this facade, you know, he is art of that cabal. he is now with the opposite team. i think in essence he is just showing us exactly who he is. he has shown us for half a century, i think is he being more brazen with it you saw a few days ago where he literally told the american people that, you know, i'm getting tired of not being as much as a tie rant when i want to be when he talks about our patience is wearing thin. so, this is par for the course for joe biden and not even just joe biden. you got to look at lori lightfoot over in chicago. you got all these young people dying. >> this is the same person that said, you know, was all last year with the fake woke, you know, we're going to defund the police. we need all of this covid money that she just reallocated right into the police department but nothing for developing the communities that are impacted by this negligence in regards to, you know, irresponsible gun

ownership. this is par for the course for democrats. and the simple answer is, joe biden doesn't care about black people, especially the black people and youth in chicago. >> lawrence: this is when it gets troubling to me it's not just joe biden the whole democratic party they have been complete failures when it comes to the community. you have got kim foxx. the judges there, city council. all democrats they run it then i look at my republicans brothers and citiesers you know, the democrats are this bad. if they are this bad, why can't you beat them? i mean, it's just this simple? these people are crying out for help. and they are willing to accept anybody that is provoking change and liberty and choosing life over anything. why can't you beat these bad candidates? >> they can't beat the bad candidates because there is still a lot of and, again, i'm going to say the truth and i don't want to offend but some people are going to be offended by this. the reality is a lot of the old guard on the right side, on the republican side. on our libertarian side. they don't want to go into places that are scary or where

the other are. others are. you have candidates like kim klacik that ran out in baltimore, raised million dollars by tell the truth about what was happening in that democratically ran city of baltimore. you have other people attacking her, saying that she shouldn't run in places that are unwinnable. >> lawrence: what does that mean? >> right. well, america is unwinnable when we went up against the british folks. you know, when people were faght from captivity during enslavement in america, hair yacht tubman was fights unwinnable fight. john f. kennedy asking the american people tattoo not, you know, worry about just what their country can do for them but what they can do for their country. that was unwinnable. that this is the mentality that we have allowed to fester on the right. a lot of that in these democratically ran cities i understand it. i just disagree with it. it's because of the fact that we accept that well, it's been this way for this long. if the founding fathers to this

nation would have accept it that way we would be speaking french right now, so the reality is, you know, it's a victim and, you know, defeatist mentality that we on the right have to stop. if we want to save the republic. >> lawrence: if you can't sell freedom and liberty then maybe you shouldn't be in the fight, brother. thank you so much for being on the program. i know you are doing it every day working to win back our community. i appreciate you being on the program. next on "fox news primetime." desperate democrat throwing mud at larry elder ahead of tomorrow's california recall race. will gavin newsom hold as governor and why does he think that joe biden is going to help win? that's next.

here, look, here is the thing. the democratic party has gone so far to the left i call myself a jfk style democrat qui have got to go back to the common sense solutions. gavin newsom is running a fear-mongering campaign that's because he can't stand on policy. his shiny object to complain about is larry elder and he can't stand on anything that matters, which is homelessness, housing, schooling, water, fires, the big issues we have. because he has been a failure. that's why i'm running. >> lawrence: yeah. so talk about your democrat establishment, why are they getting involved in this race because that's anti-democrat, right? gavin newsom, they are so fearful that i can't even get a democratic attorney to represent me when i need legal help. >> lawrence: unbelievable. >> if we go on record as supporting a republican recall then we can't get future democratic clients. i'm like what are you talking about? it's a california recall? the establishment is so powerful the money in media has just corrupted the bureau says.

and i don't want to be tin foil hat but my eyes have just been opened. i'm going to keep fighting. >> lawrence: so, kevin, i got to ask you this. why not switch parties or become an independent because it's clear that your party leaders don't want you there. >> that's okay. i believe that voter determine elections. and i have some progressives priorities that i very much stand for. for example, i think we should pay adults in poverty $2,000 a month to go to future schools. to get a financial education. learn a career. so we can get them off of welfare and off the medi cal and break cycle of poverty and homelessness. slightly more left. i call myself jfk style because i believe i'm 51-49 i'm so the middle i want californian solutions. >> lawrence: you don't sound much like a democrat. you sound like an average day republican. moderate. i have read your stance on crime. and you don't believe in defunding the police and all that. i'm going to be following this race, brother.

and even if you don't win it, i look forward to seeing you more. thank you so much for coming on the show. >> thanks for having me, full plan. >> lawrence: also here tonight tomi lahren host of no interruption. tomi, you used to live in california. he know how big of a mess it is. where do you think this is going to go tomorrow? this week, i'm sorry? >> listen, i know that gavin newsom has raised a lot of money. he has a huge war chest. he has the elites behind him. he has big tech. he has hollywood. he has special interests. the almighty teacher's union. it is looking pretty good for him now. i will say this. even if he is not successfully recalled, and i want to make it clear, i still remain hopeful. even if he is not recalled, this sends a message, not only to democrats in california but democrats tyrants around this country that deep blue california can mount a recall this strong and this successful to this point, what excuse is there for the rest of the country that wants to get rid of their leaders this sends a

message to gavin and he is shaking in his hair gel. >> lawrence: you know, i was very interested that the governor said don't make california texas when the number one state that people are fleeing california for is texas. and by the way we just took one of your congressional seats because -- and that's the first time in history. what is he talking about? sound like a lot of folks want freedom. >> they absolutely do want freedom. and for those that call this a republican recall, id like to point to the fact if republicans really had that much pull and power in the state of california, gavin newsom wouldn't be elected in the first place. this is all because of his handling of a pandemic. there were a lot of issues in california long before covid. but what he did with covid and his handling of covid made his leadership impossible to ignore. his lack of leadership that is impossible to ignore. and there are so many californians like myself who left during the pandemic because they didn't want to deal with his restrictions, his arbitrary moving of the goal post. many californians had to wake up and realize that their state is

unaffordable for most middle class americans and the failure that he has had time after time with the homeless crisis with lawlessness, rolling blackouts, placating to the climate change zealots, all problems that existed before covid. but covid only made those issues worse and a glaring lack of leadership in that state. >> lawrence: you are exactly right. and that's probably why he decided to move from california, tomi. i have got to ask you this because i have done a lot of reporting in california especially on crime, the homelessness crisis. i go and talk to democrats. they believe that gavin newsom is a failure. but they never tell me that they will give the republicans a shot. what do you think that is all about? >> i think there is something to be said in california about being a quiet conservative, having conservative principles and policies. independent, freedom loving principles, policies and ideals. not wanting to say they are republican or libertarian or a conservative in any way because you will be blacklisted. and you will be really treated horribly by the liberals that run that state again as last guest just said he has a d behind his leg.

because he does not placate to that big machine establishment, he has also been an outcast. so a lot of californians are nervous. but i do think the pendulum is swinging. they are getting bold. you saw 1.1 million plus signatures for recall election. i think things are changing in deep blue california. >> lawrence: tomi lahren, host of fox nation show you should see it. thanks a lot, tomi. don't go anywhere, emily compagno is here and she is going on the clock next. look at her. ♪ ♪

spew he makes me to only minutes left in the show , first off, workers say she has been suspended after sharing this video of her fighting off an armed robber in illinois. her bosses didn't want corporate to find out about the incident so she was ordered to take down the video or else.

emily, look at this. she whacks him with the gun and takes it away, was she wrong? i thought you did the right thing. >> she's amazing, she pistol whipped the guy, took it his sweatshirt off him, turned his face toward the camera, she's a hero. >> lawrence: she told him give me my purse. >> subway is made up of franchises and not as a corporation that owns a million different locations but a marketing campaign if you will. all the franchises are owned separately so that particular management essentially fired her and she claims because they said they don't want people to know they put the employees are vulnerable. they have a confirmed or denied it but i suggested she find another job hopefully at the local police department. >> lawrence: they put jared the on and i think she's a better ambassador. the popular series is back in will be a ring on fox nation.

the show was canceled in 2020, but it's making a return season 33 premiering on october 1st. my favorite show, i'm excited, i may get my gun on and everything. >> we totally have to have watch parties here obviously and the other exciting thing, running a promo where first responders get a year free subscription if they sign up and fox's donating proceeds for every person that subscribes to the nonprofit that goes to their families. of my favorites are canine apprehensions. no way am i making light of those apprehended but this is the best show ever buried >> lawrence: my favorite part is when they run. you know you're going to get caught. they are taping you and you're going to get caught. everybody is out there for the tape and then they are not going to embarrass themselves. >> that's the soundtrack of our life. i want to put bad boys in the intro but the producers didn't

approve. if moving on, the video from this week as the miami hurricane, showing a cat falling from the upper deck of the stadium. the crowd went wild as they brought the cat to safely put the question is, how did the cat get there in the first place? and had a collar on. it had a collar. >> oh, my gosh, i have seen the recent trend a lot of times on the west coast where people bring the cats around as if it is a dog and more often than not to places where dogs are in the result is you know not exactly -- it's not suitable. >> lawrence: you think the cat ran away? >> probably from some of 70 who brought it there but the response was the hard rock stadium released a message and we look forward to the cats having eight lives next. it says we are excited to tell you guys that he is safe and sound. my favorite part was sharing

--cheering that happened. >> lawrence: i'm not the biggest cap guy but i'm glad. if this is last story, a survey conducted by one poll shows americans had to drop friends because they didn't get the shot. >> people who ended friendships because they receive the vaccine essentially intimated they were anti-vaxxers and weren't going to accept they had questions about it. they cut them off because they were anti-vaccine. people stayed friends with more horrible things but they ended friendships over this. it they started rumors about the men were pathological liars they remained friends. >> lawrence: this is dumb. the question is where they really your friends to begin with if they are parting ways over the shock? seriously, like they can't give it to you really that much and

then chances are very small if you've gotten the vaccine. why are they freaking out? >> you don't want to be friends with that kind of person to begin with. >> that's why like you, emily, thanks for coming on today. thank you for watching "fox news primetime" on lawrence jones and see you again tomorrow night. tucker carlson is up next. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ >> tucker: good evening, welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." the covid vaccines are like other vaccines you might be familiar with so here are some things we know about them. unlike the smallpox vaccine which prevents you from getting smallpox, the vaccine doesn't prevent you from getting covid. the covid vaccine doesn't prevent you from spreading covid to other people. if the long-term events of the covid vaccines are unknown and at this point can't be known.
