♪. rachel: christmas, baby, it's here. how many days did you say, pete? pete: 21. three weeks. rachel: your wife is right, will. that is not very much time. will: somebody sent me one of those personality quizes, is it

called the briggs meyer. pete: heard of it. will: you take a quiz. asks you questions, i'm definitely a procrastinator. rachel: me too. will: whatever the task, it goes at the end of other things i warrant to do. i tend to think, three weeks before christmas. that is forever. my wife is like, no it is not. we need to do the shopping now. rachel: kathleen is smart. pete: not the big tree. big tree is amazing. biggest it has ever been. come by to take pictures of it, the other trees next to it. do you know what it takes to put lights around every single one of those little branches? will: no, actually. pete: my goodness. that is my nightmare. all the way up to the top, all the way around. it looks phenomenal. >> is the hegseth farm lit. pete: not this year. it will be next year. too much renovation, construction, stuff like that. but it is beautiful up there. when we walk out. there are people there taking photos. it is becoming a signature. i saw the rockefeller tree.

not that we should speak of that. it is barely bigger than this one. we're moving on up. rachel: this has music. a place to take a picture with your family to become a christmas card. it is a destination. will: three of us spend a good amount of time kicking new york city in the shins. rachel: we do. will: this is time, new york city at the holidays is actually very charming. rachel: really cool. will: the truth is, so is your hometown. so is the downtown square in small town america. we all know because we're from those towns as well. beautiful time of year wherever you are in this beautiful country. let's pick up on the biggest news story of the morning, the central character in, if not the central character, one of top three or five central characters in the censorship of the hunter biden laptop. elon musk held a twitter space where he talked about the unveiling of the twitter files. center of the story, the man on the screen, john paul mac isaac.

he loaned the laptop repair shop, computer repair top where hunter biden dropped off his laptop. john paul, great to see you again. since we all four of us spoke a lot has happened, recently as last night. i'm curious, you saw things unfold, saw elon last couple days what are your thoughts? >> i'm grateful. i don't know how many people know, i was basically financially ruined by twitter last year. i tried to save my career because twitter labeled my actions hacking. i went after them in a defamation suit. ultimately the goal from the opposition was to make sure that twitter would cut my legs off, to make sure i would never have an opportunity to fight my battles in the court of law again. so obviously watching elon release this material over, friday night was very exciting for me because what i felt like i knew the whole time was true.

and i feel vindicated. i feel, i'm grateful for elon. if he wants free tech support he has got it. >> [laughter]. >> it is refreshing. it is obviously, you know, if he had bought twitter during the lawsuit i think things would work out better for me. it is what it is. i'm grateful that the truth is coming out now i'm vindicated. rachel: go ahead. pete: one of the tweets that came out from matt taibbi as part of exposure of twitter. twitter's public policy executive, caroline strom, returned the answer that the laptop story was removed for the violation of the company's hacked materials policy. you had been approached by the fbi. they were in the possession of the laptop and that information. we know that agencies were meeting with twitter on a regular basis and other social media companies before the election. how much time would twitter or the fbi had had with your material, especially the fbi

before they made this excuse that it was hacking? >> well the fbi took possession of the laptop on december 9th. with that they took all my notes, all my information i provided them. they had ample time to review that data. realized it wasn't russia. pete: december 9th of 2019? >> yep. pete: december 2019. story breaks in october of 2020. will: they had it 10 months to know and share. we know they were meeting, right, john paul, with big tech, to know and disseminate the information, this is real, we're taking it seriously, we're trying to quash it. instead of pretending all of a sudden it is hacked. >> exactly. when i watched the internet shut down on october 14th, the "new york post" came out with a story at 6:30 in the morning. by 9:00 you couldn't find any discussion of it on the internet. that is not something that

happens naturally. that is something coordinated, set up, so when the story broke they would be ready. they could flick a switch, shut it down. that is exactly what happened. i'm really hoping combined with my future lawsuits, hopefully more people will read my book to understand what really happened. i'm really hoping the truth women come out and i can get on with my life. rachel: the truth will set you free. how just upset were you that the fbi is supposed to be actually investigating people like hunter biden and joe biden was actually the ones covering it up? you went with really good intentions to the fbi and they turned out to be the bad guys. how did you process that? >> well, you know, i was always suspicious of the fbi. january of 2019 they raided roger stone's house with cnn. three years of russia collusion. so i was apprehensive. i think the person affected most

was my father. he had given 31 years of his life to the military in defense of this country. he never asked for his country or anything in return. went to the albuquerque field office for protection of his son. his son was in possession of a time bomb. he was worried about my safety. he feels so disenfranchised with the government. i'm hoping to bring some justice to my father so he can love his country again. pete: wow. speaking of love of country, first amendment, elon musk spoke last night on twitter about what he is trying to bring to twitter. take a listen to this. >> seem to be like this more and more group think amongst the media. more and more sort of towing the line amongst digital social media companies and, basically just, we're traveling the path more and more of suppression of

free speech. pete: we're talking about twitter but we only know about twitter, john paul, because of elon musk. but you could go to facebook. you could go to google. you could go to any number of other platforms where these things went on and we may never know? >> uh-huh. i think zuckerberg needs to go on joe rogan some more we seem to learn more and more about facebook every time he is on. rachel: that's true. will: forgive me, i would love to ask you two quick questions, john paul, one, as much as we've seen from what elon released about the coordination between the government and twitter, there isn't necessarily a smoking gun to your case, hunter biden. in other words we don't have the government official saying, spike that. do you think that probably exists? do you expect that somewhere, yet to be seen? we haven't, we see a twitter that is ready and willing to do what the government wants or in this case the dnc. it was the dnc at this time, the

democratic party, we haven't seen who made the call, who put it in their mind? >> well i believe zuckerberg described at least the fbi and facebook's interaction as predominantly in person or over the phone. i think the fbi is smart enough to not create a paper trail when it comes to affecting the course of the election. i'm pretty sure the fbi was careful how they communicated. i wouldn't be surprised. we do have acknowledgement from facebook. even zuckerberg back in october 28th of 2020, told congress when zuckerberg and youtube, google got dragged in front of congress to explain section 230 immunity, they said it was common practice for law enforcement to reach out to social media. so i'm not surprised there is not a paper trail. i hope that the fbi is smart enough not to implicate them in something like that, but, i wouldn't be surprised.

fbi knew it wasn't russia. i told them when they came to my home. they came to the shop. they took the laptop. they did not admit the as evidence in the impeachment trial. i knew the fbi was bent. there is really no excuse. rachel: i do think all of you have been vindicated. others have been vindicated, rudy giuliani, calling so many people calling out what was happening, would affect an election when they suppressed the information. i thank you for sticking through it all, with some people trying to cancel you, the weight of the federal government. will: real quick, the federal government, what is your relationship with the fbi? after this gone down, after you have spoken to us, do i hear from the fbi? >> not at all. i offered fresh, clean copies of the drive, if they lost the one i gave them back in december.

you know, if they want to work with me, i respect the agency. if i didn't believe in the fbi i would never have fon to the fbi. i just didn't trust the fbi. there are two different things. so i would still like to have, give the opportunity to the fbi to revisit this issue and clear their name. rachel: interesting. pete: john paul mac isaac. what is the book again real quick? >> "american injustice," my battle to expose the truth. pete: sounds like a good christmas gift with 21 days left. rachel: sure does. sure does. pete: thank you very much for your time. >> thank you. pete: this is the most troubling part to me what he laid out, the fbi knew exactly what they had in their possession. they knew it wasn't hacked. they knew it wasn't russian. which means when all the former intelligence agency leaders came out wrote the letter this is misinformation, they knew, they would have known. they knew when they were meeting with twitter and facebook before the election, there is a leak

and dump coming out a leak and dump coming out as opposed they knew was verified was hunter bidens. they did it for political materials. will: they called it hack material. then russian disinformation. what they're calling it two years later, making justification, it was offensive material. they are saying this, this is important twitter you get peek into the mind who want to say this what they're saying today as republicans want to share junk pics of hunter biden and that twitter invoked its offensive material policy. can't have nude di picks up on twitter. it is not about that. it is not about crack. it is not about hookers. it is about whether or not a presidential candidate at that time had potential corruption with foreign powers. pete: that is what the post was focusing on. there were no nude pics that

couldn't be shared. it was all made up. rachel: joan paul mac censoring, the fbi not paying attention to what he had to say, happened to tony bobulinski. tony bobulinski laid it out as well. they never called him back. they never called it back. they didn't want to know. they already knew. will: note what was really about on his twitter space, elon musk says hunter seems like a fun guy, setting aside the corruption he was talking about. hunter knows how to have a good time. pete: we knew -- rachel: here's the deal. i'm fascinated by hunter biden. you guys know that. i can't stop talking about him. will: he is the patsy of the story. rachel: i sometimes feel sorry for hunter and his family drama. pete: we know christmas is coming soon. so is 2024. so there is someone involved in interviewing a candidate in 2020, now has views on 2024 that are pretty interesting. if you remember this is a flashback to then candidate biden was on "the breakfast

club" with charlemagne the god. here is a portion what he said. >> if you have a problem figuring out whether you're from me or trump, you ain't black. pete: so there is that. well in an interview with fox news digital charlemagne the god relives that moment and talks about 2024. listen. >> only thing i took away from it, taking a page out of trump's book, saying the quiet part out loud. whether he said it in jest or not, i'm sure how a large part of the democratic party feels. they feel like, hey, black men, black women, they're almost oil voting block. they show up for us no matter what. i think that is something he probably said, he was hearing other people around him say that it might have been shocking to hear. he didn't say anything folks didn't already know or folks didn't already feel. hey, the democratic party takes the black vote for granted.

that is something a lot of people are realizing. there are black conservatives out there, sorry. you know what i mean? ault black people are not a part of the democratic party. personally i mean, damn near everything they promised black people i have not seen come to fruition. rachel: that is the truth. pete: nice job, fox news digital. interesting to hear from him. he is exactly right. will: obviously the entilement what joe biden had to say, right? how about the brass ones? you get to a point in your life you believe you can say this? pete: yeah. will: this is how, you're not block if you don't vote for me. pete: it's a stunning statement. will: those brass ones sitting there clanging around. you shouldn't -- pete: i think they're clanging around up here. that is where the brass ones are clanging around. will: where they're clanging around, the point it is inherently racist statement. you're not black if you don't vote for me.

you have to think one way, dictated by the color of your skin and it is my way or you're not real. rachel: not just joe biden. its entire believes they own people of color. i have experienced it as a conservative myself that you know, they will say you're not latina. you are a sellout to your race. you're malincha. you're coconut. there are so many names for anybody who is a free thinker. breakfast taco. pete: for sure. he says everything they damn near promised for black people has not come to fruition when tom said what are you got to lose. rachel: was that he trump was saying quiet thing out loud, what was he saying? pete: taking a page out of trump's book, saying quiet part out loud. he would say trump often says things people are thinking. will: that is a lifetime of

emboldenment. remember when joe biden said they will put you back in chains. a lifetime of emboldenment you say something outlandish. rachel: said that picked the vice-presidential candidate for the first african-american president. if you're a democrat you can do anything you want. will: a few headlines a scientist who worked in a research lab in wuhan, claims covid-19 was man made. this is a lab connected. andrew huff working for institute virology on coronavirus research. the lab genetically researched the disease using funding from the u.s. telling the son i was verified what i saw. we were handing them viral weapon technology. the lab has been the center of the fierce debates about the origins of covid. bad blood for taylor swift fans. dozens are suing ticketmaster over the ticketing fiasco. they're accusing the company of

♪. rachel: the brains of teenagers aging by almost three years since the beginning of the pandemic according to a new study. researchers at stanford university discovering teens aged 15 to 18 have also suffered from increased rates of anxiety and depression since march of 2020. here to discuss fox news medical contributor dr. nicole saphier, her husband, board certified vascular neurosurgeon in

new jersey, dr. paul safire. i don't want to say dr. safire and dr. safire. >> it is confusing. rachel: what does it mean the brains aged three years? >> it is concerning. the study out of stanford looked at the kids before and also during the pandemic and forced lockdowns, these preaustere measures what they saw as you pointed out, kids had higher levels anxiety, depression, internalization of external oppressors. kids not in the lockdowns, there are significant structural changes both in superficial and deep portions of the brain. what these researchers said, going forward it is going to have to recalibrate or essentially reset what the implications for these kids in other studies. so you know, in terms of psychological and emotional and cognitive issues going forward, we have to rethink in this generation of kids that were

underthese austere, draconian lockdowns what the stressors on them has going forward. rachel: would you see these kind of things happening to the brain for a generation that lived through a very traumatic war? >> stress affects everybody. asking anybody on the street right now, it affects us internally. the brain is both receptor and mitigator of stress. we create these neuromodulators that modify our response to stress. we yes, do see people that undergo very traumatic ordeals or situations they have significant changes both internally and also externally. rachel: really quickly what can be done to help those people or this generation or anyone going through something traumatic that actually impacts the structure of tear brain? >> that is the issue, we don't know yet. it will affect us long term. rachel: interesting. well, very, very fascinating

stuff. things we didn't think about before we locked our children down. >> some of us did think about it but we were not in charge. rachel: we were not in charge, no one was listening to us and calling us conspiracy theorists. nicole, the pharmaceutical are coming up with a fentanyl vaccine? why am i not thinking this is a great idea? >> first of all, rachel, something has to be done with the opioid crisis. 150 people are dying from fentanyl poison innings, accidental overdoses. i applaud any effort to put to save lives from fentanyl poisoning. this is university of houston in rat studies. they are able to produce antibodies against fentanyl and derivatives. in theory you give it to a high-risk individual, that fentanyl would not be taken up into the brain, wouldn't get euphoric high. they wouldn't want to take the fentanyl. one question i have, if they

don't get high from fentanyl will they stop to illicit it from heroin. rachel: does the high kill them? >> if it doesn't get into the brain it will not necessary depress the respiratory center which causes them to die. one of the things i have concerns about as a physician, fentanyl is used medicinally. we use it in procedures and treat severe cancer pain. if you give the vaccine to people, limit treatment options in the hospital it will be difficult. i have questions about this they're developing it for human trial use. we'll obviously keep an eye on it. it is more important to get the supply off the street and not come up with a bandaid for a rapid fix. it is more important we focus on getting supply off the street and educating people as to the dangers, harms of fentanyl. rachel: let's not normalize bringing over of fentanyl drugs over the southern border and its

existence in some of our communities. i agree with you on that. so dr. safire, dr. safire, there is a lot of brain power on the couch right now. no pun intended to the neurosurgeon here. so great having you. love having you back. >> thank you. rachel: i feel really dumb right now.

little gifts here and there. it turned into this now. >> look at this store. you had to bump up the storage facility. >> we had to get a larger unit last month. donations kept pouring in. we couldn't fit it in the other units. we had to get a bigger unit. >> what are things seniors want most for christmas? >> they always ask for puzzle books. we distribute gifts all year. so the puzzle books, i collect all year. we give all occasions. they love them. the adult coloring books. like any kind of games. the women love makeup and jewelry. so i have like a whole box of lipsticks and jewelry for them to, to go to a facility. >> let me talk to an elf over here. thankthank you for coming so ea. why is it important to help the johnson foundation. >> i known them for years. donna is the brains behind the operation. it is good, helping out seniors especially this time of year.

hunter biden laptop story was dismissed it was mocked. if you even thought it was a real story your account got locked on twitter and you were called a conspiracy theorist. here we are two years later everything in the laptop, all the emails have been verified. journalists you would think let's not do this again. elon musk puts out documents through matt taibbi, a real journalist. we're seeing from same journalists mockery, dismissed or ignored. "washington post" has a story on the email dump by elon musk. all they do is say there is no there there. this is no big deal. this is one of the most egregious, what do i want to say here, biggest violation of pow every by an industry, big tech in its history what they did with the story. it became pongyang in the u ask. a. reporter: elon musk said i believe there was election interference based on what twitter did.
