♪ will: great song. rachel: oh, i'm starting the hello today. so, hello. will: have you heard sand in my boots? pete: yes, great song. rachel: didn't that make you want to go back to florida, this

beautiful picture of florida? pete: sure does. rachel: feels like we were just there. will: did you see at the university of tennessee beat alabama. they had that bar in knoxville and everybody is hanging out at the bar and all of a sudden kenny chesney, peyton manning and morgan wallen walk up to a single mic and wallen does an impromptu three song concert and going bananas. rachel: that's amazing. pete: that's bucket list stuff there. sand in my boots is -- there was a point where i was playing it on repeat. rachel: if i like a song that much, i'll do that. pete: i do, i kill it. it's like the bunny you listen to it till you hate it. will: yes. pete: over and over. i know you do too sometimes. will: good morning, welcome to "fox & friends". glad to have you here. let's start with a fox news alert. the university of ohio murder mystery deepens. a county coroner confirming all four victims were stabbed to

death in bed likely while asleep. pete: the massacre occurred near campus and police do not have a suspect or person of interest. rachel: ashley stromier has the latest on the grewsome case from idaho. >> a lot of questions unanswered and police without a suspect or person of interest in the killing of the four college students. this shows where the four students were in the early mornings of their tragic death. the time line details the final movements beginning with a social media post and saying

they were likely in bed during the attack. >> seems likely they were sleeping it it seems like it was a very large knife so hard to call them puncture wounds and has to be something that's pretty angry in order to stab four people to death. fatal ones to the chest area or the upper body area. >> police officially ruling out roommates and food truck bystanders as potential suspects and kaylee's sister reportedly saying kaylee and maddie call add man named jack a -- called a man named jack nine times before 3:00 a.m. and a mystery man spotted hanging with kali and maddie outside of the food truck has been identified and is cooperating with police and students at the university of idaho are still in shock though. >> all four of them truly touched countless students on campus. it's been extremely difficult since their lost. >> ethan and zana, it was a pleasure to know them. a lot of people came in and out of the house just because of how kind all four of them were and

welcoming. hope they come to a quick discovery and able to bring someone to justice. >> dozens of police officers and an elite fbi unit working around the clock to try and crack the case. back to you guys. rachel: thank you, ashley. will: bring in lenny depaul and he's a fugitive and former marshal and can hopefully answer some of our questions on this case. good morning, lenny. i want to start with you aif i wering or dis-avowing some assumptions i'd have in the way law enforcement would be approaching this case. i've always opened under the a-- operated under the assumption that a knife ask s a very personal crime leading you to believe the assailant would have known the students. a, is that true and b, doesn't that give you a pool of people then that you can work from that you would think law enforcement would have more leads today?

>> well, good morning. that's a hate crime. they were up close and personal and four victims stabbed to death in the upper torso multiple times. you're right on the money with that but right now law enforcement is chasing a ghost. they may have a suspect or somebody, a person of interest and they're keeping it close to the vest, and i completely understand that as well but the crime scene speaks for itself. i mean, there was no signs of forced entry. i think there was a key pad on the front door and had to key yourself in. i get it, it was a frat house or a dorm and the door was unlocked or whatever and the door was wide open when the pd showed up and got to that gruesome scene and you're spot on. rachel: lenny, through few details but one thing is from the victim's sister saying her sister called a man named jack

six times on the night of the murder. what does that tell you? >> that digital footprint is extremely important and they're q and as people and knocking on doors and looking at security cameras. it's tough and they're putting that puzzle together and connecting the dots and hopefully come up with a suspect. pete: lenny, the fact there's no leads yet. someone would have left that house with a lot of blood on them in a gruesome -- also the fact that that clothes or other things haven't been found already also killing four people with a knife without other people hearing. does that mean this person probably knew how to use a weapon like that and was familiar with it? >> not only knew that but i think they knew whoever it was knew their victims. there were two other folks in

the house that were unharmed. i mean i'm sure they were spoken to but, yeah, absolutely. again, no signs of forced entry and that person was not there to rob the place. there was no sex assault that appeared on the victims. they're going to be important. one of them i believe one of the females fought back. i mean what's under her fingernails and again, i'm sure there's things that the investigators know that we don't but, you know, hopefully they can put this thing to bed and bring closure to the families. will: it's a really interesting point, pete, i hadn't consider that had. it was reporting it was a k bar style knife with hunting and military applications but to be so efficient in this. think maybe it's not someone that's unfamiliar with weaponry or how to use it. i want to ask you about this and this is directly in your line of work, lenny, so again, we're making some assumptions here but the crime scene you'd have to think would be incredibly messy. dr. michael bott is a forensic

pathologist and talked about for example with that much blood, leaving behind of shoe prints and he was on hannity and here's what he had to say. >> there was a lot of blood on the floor, a lot of it from the stab wounds and the blood itself can tell how many people were stepping in it. the perpetrators step in the blood and one can tell if there's sneakers, bo boots and shoes and different sizes and shapes and one of the issues is how many perpetrators were there. the information at the scene gives them a lot of information about whether it was a single person or not. will: yeah, i guess i kind of want to tie that into pete's question, lenny, it seems like how could there not be a trail? you mentioned a digital trail. i mean a physical trail with that much blood, clothes, shoes, i have a hard time believing these perpetrators can

disappear. >> yeah, no, absolutely. whether it's one or two and could be multiple suspects. who knows at this point and it's all about collection right now. they're looking at all that and the fbi is involved and forensic folks turning that world upside downright now and hopefully they have some answers but again, once somebody is identified and my former folks, u.s. marshals are not involved yet but once they get somebody on their radar, hopefully they bring them on board and they're the best in the business in finding people and are pretty good at it. you can run but you can't hide and when you run, you only go to jail tired. pete: lenny, real quick, how do these things usually get solved in cases like this? is it forensics or someone, human intel and somebody knows somebody that says something or how does it end up? >> it's a variety of different ways and signal intelligence and human intense and they're putting that together. the streets talk as well. i don't know if there's a reward or not but they'll put it

together digitalty, q and aing people and hopefully come up with the suspect and again, like i said earlier, hopefully it's a matter of time because they need closure on this thing. rachel: there's been some mistakes. there was the trash dumpster from that house that was combined with the trash of another house, which of course not good when you're trying to collect evidence. hopefully they will get to the bottom of this. i know that town is on edge and so many parents whose children go to college there just not feeling safe right now. lenny depaul, thank you. >> thank you. pete: now to our other top story this morning. the justice department appointing yet another special council to oversee two trump related probes. will: the former president unloading at ag garland for pushing what he feels is a politically motivated witch hunt. rachel: kevin cork is live in washington. >> morning, guys. for the second time president trump is the target of a special council probe. this time the government says

it's investigating actions related to the 2020 election and the certification thereafter. let me tell you about the new special council, it's a gentleman by the name of jack smith, lead prosecutor is a special court overseeing war crime investigations against korea in new york in the 1990s and from 2010-2015 he read the doj's public integrity section. attorney general merrick garland refused to appoint a special council to look into hunter biden's business dealings for example said this decision was brought on by extraordinary circumstances. >> i have conclude that had it is in the -- concluded that it is in the public interest to appoint a special council. such an appointment underscores the department's commitment to both independence and accountable and particularly sensitive matters. i also believe that appointing a

special counsel at this thymois the right thing to co. the extraordinary circumstances presented here demand it. >> meanwhile despite all appearances to the contrary, white house officials insist president biden didn't have a hand in this and for that matter, the decision by the doj caught them by surprise. >> i can just tell you no, he was not aware. we were not aware. we do not politicize the department of justice. that is something that the president said during the campaign that we're not involved in this particular issue. >> as for the target of the prep, former president trump says this is a miscarriage of justice and it's also unequal treatment under the law and that has to end. >> we're not going to let these atrocious abuses continue. we can't. as a party, we can't and as a nation we can't. we're going to stand up to these tyrants and we're going to take away their power and we're going

to restore government for the people. >> trump later added, i've been going through this for six years, six years i've been going through this. i'm not going to go through it anymore. i'm not going to partake in it. now as you can probably well imagine, the president may not have a say in whether or not he partakes in the strobe. if he's saying he'll be less cooperative than in previous investigations, one might reason that the frustration is warranted. guys. pete: for sure. kevin, thank you. so donald trump announces for the white house and then just a few days later the department of justice announces a special counsel over his papers. rachel: it's the weaponization of our federal law enforcement and the doj and it looks bad because it is bad. it feels like a persecution and it has huge implications for the credibility of our law enforcement at the federal level but also we talked about this a

little bit earlier, who would want to run as a conservative knowing that if, you know, this could happen to you. you could have beyond the time you're in office, they're still going after him. will: as you mentioned in the previous hour, rachel, it still come withs no appetite from the department of justice. we'll see about republicans potentially taking -- i say potentially and i'll tell you why later but control of the house. i do think there's investigations that they'll try to focus on that as well looking at house members and seeing if there's other ways to take control of the house. the point is no appetite to look at other things like hunter biden. mike davis article 3 project president talked about that. >> this special counsel is going to investigate the noncrimes of objecting to the president's election. if it were a crime, the democrats would have been charged in 1969, 2001, 2005,

2017 when they objected to the election and they're investigating the noncrime of a former president taking a personal copy of his presidential records when he leaves office. he is specifically allowed to do that under the presidential records act, and where the heck is the special counsel to investigate president biden, his son hunter and brother james when there's clear smoking gun evidence of foreign corruption in china and the ukraine? rachel: amen to everything he says. it is not a crime to object to what you think might be fraud in an election. you're allowed to say that as an american. also this is a smoking gun with hunter biden. you know, again, the mar-a-lago raid, we talked about it earlier, they went through baron's bedroom and rifled through that and melania's closet and no one has gone after hunter biden. he's not gotten this kind of scrutiny and neither has the president or jill biden who's also involved in some of these dirty deals. pete: they execute add general

search warrant ornament a former president's home. that's what occurred looking for whatever they could find without his lawyer's there. only begrudgingly providing a warrant later on. we had to fight to get that. this is the follow through on that with a special counsel because they want a political persecution of a political opponent. be careful what you wish for because when you keep targeting someone who you'd like to end their political career, sometimes you reinvigorate it because people say, look at what they're willing to do in going after donald trump. that alongside the republican media establishment saying no, no, no more tram. can't be trump. you say that enough and people say, why are so many people telling me not to go for this guy? maybe i want to. rachel: you gave me an idea and hadn't occurred to me till you said that, maybe this solves two problems. they go after donald trump with this new investigation. they go after donald trump so they accomplish that goal.

and it does spark the republicans to go after hunter and joe biden, which many of the establishment on the left don't want joe biden to run. they want to take him out. so maybe this accomplishes two things at once. who knows. will: who knows. pete: very, very interesting and we'll continue to unpack this morning. turning to a few additional headlines starting with this. no arrests after three women were found stabbed to death inside a home in queens, new york. the nypd said the victims are all family members and a home health worker made the grim discovery and investigators believe the victims were killed in a domestic incident. and vice president kamala harris meeting briefly with chinese president xi with a trip to bangkok and both on the way to a closed door meeting with leaders across the asia pacific region. during their talk, harris echoed comments made by joe biden about maintaining opalines of communication between washington

and bejing. will: did you see the dressing down that president xi gave trudeau this morning. rachel: i thought you said she as in kamala. that was very fascinating. pete: i'm sure that was a tough talking to he got from kamala harris. what is this? thanksgiving is next week and one website revealing the most popular thanksgiving side dishes across the country. the top dishes for our home states of origin. for rick and rachel's home state of arizona, pumpkin pie. rachel: good choice. pete: rachel's adopted state of wisconsin, green bean casserole. rachel: that sound exactly right. pete: for will and i it comes down to dressing versus stuffing. according to the people of texas, dressing typically made by itself in a pan is the proper side. my home state of minnesota arguing stuffing, which is cooked inside of the turkey. will: is that the difference?

i used the terms interchangeably and didn't realize stuffing is cooked inside the turkey. rachel: of course it's better inside the bird ca because all e fat from the bird goes into it. pete: i stand by the filling. will: i don't want to pull my dressing out of the dead bird in the end. i want it in the pan. if you want flavor, there's such a thing as butter. rachel: that is a southern way to get flavor. pete: put a little s sausage in there too. rachel: coming up, invasion on the lone star state but what's taken so long and former acting secretary explains. will: plus, hymark stadium, home of the buffalo bills after several feet of snow are dumped on buffalo. can't play in that stadium.

# # >> reporter: pete, what a difference 24 hours made. yesterday downtown buffalo got less than a foot of snow and that's not the case now. buffalo got walloped overnight as a snow band moved through the area sports grill shifted north and -- and shifted north and areas outside of buffalo got five feet of snow in roughly 24 hours. with snowfalling at that pace, it's hard for plow trucks to keep up, many of them getting stuck. this is why the county, erie county imposed a travel ban for most of the hart hit areas. of course not everyone listens. more than 300 people received tickets for violating that travel ban. buffalo area runways are closed and hundreds of people without power but local officials are

optimistic the worst of the storm is over and have the resources they need for the storm response. as for the buffalo bills versus cleveland browns game, looks like the nfl made the right call moving the sunday game to detroit. look at the photo of the stadium with field and seats and everything covered in feet of snow. just like you mentioned, pete, at least two people have died in snow-related activities and a reminder that the snow is heavy and dangerous. will. will: thank you so much. the lone star state stepping up push for enhanced border security planning to deploy armored military vehicles to ten locations along the border and comes days after governor greg abbott invoked the invasion clause of the state's constitution. let's ask deputy secretary ken. let's start with the news room this morning and i'll read a bit from governor abbott's letter

and let's get your reaction to what he said and your follow up actions. the letter said your silence in the face of repeated pleas are deafening your refusal to look at the border to see firsthand the ai don't say and open border policies have made an un-precedented crisis and caused us to invoke the constitutional authority to protect ourselves. texas will deport illegal immigrants to the border. tell me your reaction. >> well, to the border is not deporting. and understand deport is an immigration word to be clear. this isn't immigration law and texas has authority under the constitution to protect itself, it's sovereignty and boarders when it is invaded. well, governor abbott acknowledge that had texas is being invaded and acknowledged the constitution gives him the ability to protect themselves, and this is a war power.

that's awkward wording but that's what the founders put in the constitution. the key isn't force. it's not tanks and planes but to stop people and turn them around and put them back into mexico but he said to the border. the burdener texas is the middle of the rio ground and have to cross the river and put them back in mexico and do it at scale to slow the flow of people crossing the border illegally or this will be as meaningless as 18 months of operation lone star. it's been 18 months and they've spent $4 billion and the flow of illegal entrance has gone up, not down. up. so this is the one step he clearly acknowledges he has the constitutional authority but not doing the one thing to slow the flow. will: which which is to remove

illegal immigrants back across to the mexican side of the border. your argument, ken, is he's using the correct wording in declaring an invasion, he's not executing the actions that that power would enview the state of texas. does anything and this is the question i wanted to follow up secondarily with you, does anything since that announcement convince you, because we mentioned he's going to deploy the on ward trucks to the border. does anything since the deck la ration of invasion suggest his actions will live up to hopefully your expectations and the power of declaring invasion? >> no, and the word i get back channel from the dps, which is their state police is nothing has changed. this is another press effort, another photo op by governor abbott and that comes from people who are determined not to do it. the leadership of dps, steve mikro in particular, does not want to do this. as long as steve mccraw is

there, greg abbott will not move them back into mexico. will: why is that? >> he vehemently opposes it and it finds a way not to work. we hope governor abbott gets serious about this and texas could make a big dent in the flow from mexico but he's not done that. will: it's important to understand what people's words mean and what that then means for our policy and our execution and our actions and i appreciate you focussings on that this morning, ken. we've paid attention to what you've had to say throughout the weekend. >> good to be with you, will. will: i want to say this, i invite governor greg abbott or texas dps on to the program at any time to help explain exactly what it is they intend to do and how they intend to solve this problem, and why they may not be doing exactly what it is ken or others had asked for. i would invite them at any moment to sit down and have that conversation. all right, shocking new report

reveals how china could be stealing american military secrets and how your tax paying money may have funded it. that's coming up next.

rachel: a watch dog report reveals one scientist in particular who worked out of a new mexico lab for 18 years before bringing back top secrets to the ccp, the communist party in china. we have the ceo and founder of openthebooks.com and he joins me now. i cannot wrap my head around this. how is it that our government trained them in u.s. labs and we mate for the training and now -- they were chinese citizens? how does that happen? >> it's pretty incredible. you pointed out one scientist

and there's 162 of them in this report from strider technologies. it's the first time we've had public source technology ons scientists. the people, places and technologies that they been working on. look, back in china, rachel, they have a name for this. it's called the thousand talents program and within that program, they've got los alamos club where 162 scientists that we educated, that we employed in our national lab, the crowned jewel of national military secrets and funded through u.s. taxpayer grants and gave at least one of them top secret clearance keys to top secrets in the constitution and not working on behalf of the american people and recruited back to china and developing the great leads for the chinese technologies. rachel: who exactly is responsible for this? congress? >> congress needs to crack down and the fbi and our nation's

institutions they need to get serious. for example, the fbi needs to start directing resources properly toward national threats. rachel, no one can say this is not a top national threat to our national security. you have the fbi as you know has diverted resources to investigating parents that stand up at school board meetings so number one, they need to get serious. the fbi admits between every 10 to 12 hours they open a national security espionage case against china and between 2,000 and 5,000 cases going on right now. rachel: makes no sense why any chinese citizen would be getting this kind of training and funding from our government with top secret clearance and developing weapons. i'm literally flabbergasted and by the way with the fbi as well, you're right, they've now moved into getting after domestic terrorists and more

investigations of trump and not doing their job for sure. tell us the website. i think people would want to know more. >> so it's openthebooks.com and last year we filed 50,000 freedom of information act requests and post on our website nearly every dime and tax spent every level of government across the country and it's a treasure-trove of data. for instance, we have nearly every single public employee's salary in the data base. rachel: god bless you for that doing good work. appreciate it, adam. we'll have to have you back. thank you. coming up, lee zeldin's message on crime resinated with voters in the run for governor, but the soft on crime manhattan da says he was just race baiting. brian kilmeade reacts next.

will: at least two snow related deaths in erie county, new york. the state is under a state of emergency and the county issuing a travel ban for hardest hilt areas. chief meteorologist rick reichmuth is tracking this. >> reporter: l people don't realize the great lakes are unique to the united states and the pattern that sets up the lake-effect snow doesn't happen like this anywhere else in the world and we're getting really extreme amounts right now. take a look at the map and we've got cold air in place. the issue is that the great lakes, the water temperatures

are still into the 50s and so you have that difference in air temperature from water temperature and that's what causes the lake effect snow to pile up, especially when the winds go the entire length of the lake and that's what we've seen the last couple of days and that's both lake erie and lake ontario and we've got about 240 miles in lake erie where you've got that wind going in one direction over the lake and it sets up this very narrow snow band. you notice that snow band has shift add bit to the north now. we have it to the south of the buffalo area and that's really where it was stuck for about 36 hours bringing up to 6 feet of -- 66 inches of snow in the highest spot and now that snow band has moved off towards the north and will stay through the day and eventually the snow will come back through with the wind direction change later in the afternoon and evening. big travel week, pete. if you haven't done it yet, download the fox weather app and if you have travel plans, fox weather app will get you home for the holidays safely and track all your conditions for

you to get to where you need to go and see grandma this weekend. pete. pete: rick, i have the fox weather app here and all the cities i travel to frequent lipinned at the top. buffalo not one of them. 66 inches. >> reporter: glad to hear it this week. pete: manhattan da alvin bragg accusing lee zeldin of running "ant"an antidemocratic race basd campaign". he said i was the only black face talking about crime. we'd all like to think the willie horton era of politics is gone but it is not. here now to react. "fox & friends" cohost and host of one nation brian kilmeade. hardest working man in the business. you know the new york political scene, brian. alvin bragg said lee zeldin was race baiting? >> so in san francisco, they

recalled chester bodin because of the same accusations he was recalled and they almost got the same da out in los angeles and going after larry krasner in philadelphia with the same accusations lee zeldin is putting on alvin bragg and shows race has nothing do to it's the position and policies you have. what i did when you guys asked me to do the story, i texted lee zeldin and he gave me a fiery response that i just gave to the news division but i'll read you the response. three things, he says if he was not -- if he was serious about cracking down on crime, he'd get rid of procriminal policies like the halt act, less is more and raising age. then saying our criticism of bragg has nothing do with the skin color but being the weakest and procriminal das in the country and bragg keeps on focusing on the facts that murders and shootings are down. good, congratulations, i'm happy about that but every major -- the other major, z seven mayor

criminal categories are up to the tune of 70% from 2021 to 2022. it's up 25%. think about how different, pete, that is from what we were living through over the last 15, 20 years. we've been commuting to the city. we went from the safest city to one of the most unsafest cities. this guy takes over and makes the criminals first. he wants to lean on race. i'm insulted by that. every black person in the country should be insulted by that. they're the victims of most of the crimes. pete: lee zeldin simply pointing out the reality of policies never made it about the color of anybody's skin. but that's where he reflectively goes or he has to defend the policies you talked about, brian, he doesn't want to and can't. the lawlessness he's creating is something he knows he's encouraging. how could you not when you let criminals out of jail and don't prosecute. >> pete, the other thing is when you look at what's happening in new york and people around the

country don't understand think they new york is new york city and stunning to see 83% of the vote go for governor hochul over lee zeldin because staten island all zeldin and long island all zeldin and most of new york state and west chester all lee zeldin. it's the enclave we're stuck in and unfortunately everyone thinks democrat must have it right when they've shown you that they've had it wrong. pete: absolutely right. >> our mayor needed lee zeldin and stuck with hochul who said i'm in no rush to visit zero cash bail because she's going on vacation after her marginal victory in a mostly democratic state where she should be running and trying to learn from her terrible numbers. pete: exactly right. all right, brian, you do not have terrible book sale numbers because you go on tour with great events. tell us about your next stops on the tour. >> well, one thing i like to do is when the -- anything comes out i want to use as an cues to

video radio stations and brand new affiliate in myrtle beach and i'll be at barnes and noble at 3:00 in the afternoon and on friday, pete, we'll be on stage, rachel will be there too and curly and we're going to be america great from the start. streaming on fox nation. i'm going to go through all my books through history and have a chance to bring to life instead of slick videos, iowa hawkeyes thought we'd -- i thought we'd re-enact great moments from america's past and not told you what we're doing but we're almost sold out. new jersey performing arts center on friday go to briankilmeade.com and it'll be streamed live and fox nation doesn't know what they're going to get and carly bought her outfit and i'll start doing rachel espousesy and see if i can get under -- rachel's posesy and try to get under her budget and handle yours after your incredible work at the patriot iawards.

pete: i appreciate it. myrtle beach today and new york next week. very little guidance and information and told me to nail it. i appreciate those expectations. >> one name: george washington.. pete: oh, man, i can do that. i can do that. by the way, don't miss brian tonight on one nation. we always love watching, 8:00 p.m.. there's the lineup right there. all right, brian kilmeade, thank you, brother. a female hains gender athlete is hurdling all competition after previously struggling against the boy's division. clay travis on the fight for fairness next.

will: a year before competing with the boys, the student never finished ahead of 25th place. pete: in is in washington state, a sophomore who, by the way washington state has no requirement for hormone suppression or anything like that. at this point, if you're in

washington state, their athletic association says if you're a girl, if you're a boy and you want to compete in girl's sports, there's no barriers at all. so this particular runner had -- he'd been running with the boys would have come in 145th place. instead finished in second place. rachel: yeah. so the message to women is that the best women are men. it's a really bizarre thing. feminism is dead. i don't know why the feminist movement that's so obsessed with the right to kill your offspring doesn't jump in here and see this is a bigger threat to our gender than anything else. i mean, it's absolutely unbelievable. will: the washington interscholastic association policy says wiaa gender eligibility rules follow washington state nondiscrimination laws that protect full access to athletic activities for students. so all that's required as you just explained, pete, is a

declaration. i am x, i am y. i can be x or y and compete as x or y. pete: that's the logical state of gender identity. they've totally gotten rid of biological sex. everything is gender. pay attention to the words a lot because they don't say -- we use them interchangeably -- man and woman. it's all a spectrum and go down that train, how do you stop? from someone who says, no, no, i identify this way. you have nothing to stand onto tell them they're wrong. so states like washington are just showing the inevitable end state over this kind of policy and no one is going to stand up and say you can't. you're discriminating because you're saying there are men and women. sounds confusing and that's how we got to this place. rachel: you interviewed some of the young athletes. pete: these ryan higgins athletes from another -- these were athletes from another state

involved in a lawsuit because she has to run against males and done a lot like it. here's a portion of it. >> it's not just unfair competition, it leaves athletes feeling deflated, unmotivated, and not feeling like there's no chance for us. you know, when you're competing especially in collegiate@ let is icks -- athletics, every female hattiesburg is making so many sacrifices to be there. we're not there for participation trophies. >> this is going to continue unless we step up and restore fairness in a level playing field to women's sports. rachel: they use the fear of offending people. weaver so afraid of being labeled as intolerant or trans-phobic that we don't tell the truth. other people get hurt. these young girls who have worked so hard, they're the ones being hurt. our entire gender because i look at this as a woman, what's the end game here? you know, where does this go? what happens to my gender? what happens to children who, you know, benefit from the fact

that i am a woman, i am a mother, i have enate differences. this has huge repercussions and the most revolutionary thing you can do is tell the truth. pete: coming up, attorney general appoints a special council to investigate former president trump. what about the hunter biden investigation? we'll ask jonathan turley coming up.

pete: we are going to acknowledge the greatness of the voice and we requested this song and we got
