imagine having your child go to school two extra weeks every year, year in and year out. that accumulates. >> charter school network schools did even better. their students 27 extra days of reading, 23 days in math. over public schools. all the data came in before the pandemic. it will be another four years before we have the same study. back to you. >> bill: numbers don't lie. thank you for that. william la jeunesse. brand-new hour begins now. fox news alert. the search for the missing sub intensifying as time continues to dwindle. coast guard officials say search and rescue efforts will continue throughout the day and they have a lot of assets in the area. the update comes as we learn more about ocean gate, the company behind the vessel and the potential red flags that may or may not have been ignored. big open question out there. bill hemmer, good morning today. dana has the day off on this thursday. big welcome back to our

colleague from 3:00 in the afternoon. she rises to say hello. how are you doing? >> martha: great to be with you. love coming in to work with you, bill. good morning, at home as we continue to watch this story unfold from deep in the ocean. the french deep sea robot and another canadian vessel have now joined the search. it is getting crowded out there. the mission is daunting. crews are searching for an area that is double the size of the state of connecticut. it is 2 1/2 miles deep. that's a look at some of what is on the surface and in the air right now. experts say it is impossible to know just how much, if any, oxygen remains on board. also some say that there is breathing room after that 96-hour period. the search is likely to continue beyond that period. we'll bring you the very latest as we get breaking news on that story. >> bill: a lot of floating and flying hardware. let's hope for the best. still waiting right now on what

could be several high-profile opinions from the u.s. supreme court before the big break for summer recess. critics are slamming justice alito pushing back on a report with an undisclosed trip he took with a billionaire in 2008. the sub sid sear was part of supreme court cases some years later. he wrote an op-ed for the "wall street journal." as we await the possibility of big decisions want to bring in shannon bream and average or of "fox news sunday." good morning. you've been waiting for this day all week. let's start with alito and if i have to interrupt if we get a big decision we'll do that. what is the issue between pro publy ca going after a reported trip that alito had in 2008? what's the issue? >> they're talking about a trip that involved somebody who later had something before the court.

justice alito in his op-ed in the "wall street journal" said let me take this on. i want to put a full answer out there so it's not -- doesn't go through any other filter. he said the trip was one he got advice for from the judicial conference. they are going and these justice thomas has been under the spotlight for trips and things, too. if they've gone to these ethics bodies and said do i need to report this trip? what is your guidance on this? guidance given to another judge on that trip was told he didn't need to report it. they are leaning on that guidance saying this is what happened to the trip and who invited me. i ran it past the judicial conference and said i didn't need to report it. some of those rules got changed this spring because if they will rely on those rules and you will have democrats on the hill saying the rules aren't good enough and we want to create to limit your terms and all that kind of stuff there have been changes to the rules since that trip.

>> bill: alito talked about it publicly years ago. back in 2009. "wall street journal" weighs in this way. the fishing expedition for justice alito, attack on the supreme court justice on ethics and recusal is an attempt at court thinning. what is that about in washington about the left going after the sitting justices today? can you characterize it? >> you've seen this. we saw the man who is now senate majority leader stand on the steps of the supreme court and specifically call out justices by name suggesting that things would happen if they decided a case a certain way. we have had all kinds of legislation introduced toll at seats to the court, limit the terms and do all kind of things the right sees as intimidating the justices. the left hasn't been happy with decision else from the court including overturning roe v. wade and other conservative-leaning decisions. they say it is time to change the court. it's makeup. they are going after these

justices where there are other issues involving justices on the other side of the bench who accepted payments and heard cases people related to the payments. the publisher with justice sotomayor. nobody raised questions or did a deep dive investigation into that. supporters of the justices alito and thomas will say okay, if we do the deep dive investigations let's do them on everybody and all the financial interests. >> bill: stay on top of it and stay on the line. it might be a matter of minutes when we bring you back. shannon bream in washington. martha. >> martha: the student loan issue is one we may get any minute from the supreme court. stick around for that. in the meantime the scene at the south lawn of the white house. the president is welcoming india as prime minister to the white house. this is a very big state visit that is getting underway today. the summit is expected to focus largely on russia's war on ukraine, he will also speak

before a joint meeting of congress later today. rich edson is live on the south lawn of the white house as this gets underway with more details about this big moment. hi, rich. >> good morning, martha. the extravagant roll-out is just underway at the south lawn of the white house. president biden will soon be appearing alongside india's prime minister modi expected in a few minutes now. the ceremony throughout the next hour or so will really feature marching bands, honor guard behind me right now also get a multi-gun salute. modi heads to an oval office meeting, press conference, speech to congress and then a state dinner. the u.s. is trying to bring india closer to the west to counter china away from russia. india has been buying more russian oil. hitting an all-time high in may and relies heavily on the russian arms industry. that's been an issue the u.s. has been likely to address here.

senior official says president biden will engage actively on issues associated with russia and ukraine and that the two will also discuss jointly producing jet fighter engines, minerals and student visas. several want the president to broaden out the conversation. more than 70 signed a letter to the president of the united states saying, quote, we believe that friends can and should discuss their differences in an honest and forthright way. that is why we respectfully request that in addition to the many areas of shared interests between india and the u.s. you also raise directly with prime minister modi areas of concern. crack downs on religion an free press and some democrats will not be there this afternoon. we will see the president shortly here. martha. >> martha: thank you very much. the relationship between united states and india very important because what we see is china

trying to bring support their way from places like india, saudi arabia, russia, trying to realign the global power structure in the world and so this is very important meeting. obviously there are differences on certain issues that rich just mentioned. when you look at the large global strategic picture and whether or not we stay as a super power and an element that has influence on what happens in the world, hinges on meetings like this one with prime minister modi today. >> bill: interesting. he will attend a state dinner later tonight after an address before congress and then will hold what has been for us a rare press conference with president biden. even more rare for him, so modi has not addressed a single press conference in india since he became prime minister nine years ago in may of 2019 he attended a press conference but didn't take a question in his home country. that's interesting.

apparent life he was late for a science event and jill biden started without him and apologized for that. a rocky start but a way to smooth it over. india, the most populous country in the world at 1.4 billion people. >> martha: interesting moment at the white house. prime minister modi has now arrived and you see him there with the first lady, jill biden and president biden as they head over. this is sort of a ceremony that is reserved for very important heads of state. a state dinner. a lot of very big tech titans will be at this dinner tonight and this is another big element of the relationship with india and how much control we have over a.i. and all of these factors that are going to be very important going forward. so we are watching as some of the members of the cabinet, kamala harris, vice president was the first to shake his hand

there. >> bill: also you have the issue of china. we were speaking with members of congress 30 minutes ago after xi being a dictator at a private fundraiser in california. this white house and administration, our country wants to have india as a counter weight to the chinese and we'll see whether or not that can be successful in time. they will make some statements, take a few questions and we'll watch it as it goes. >> on this vote the yays are 213, nays are 209 with six answering present. the resolution adopted without objection, the motion to consider and laid on the table. house will be in order. >> martha: the u.s. house voted to censure congressman adam schiff over past claims, very bold claims, that linked the

former president donald trump to a russian collusion scheme. the party line vote sparking chaos on the house floor. schiff is the 25th congress in u.s. history to be censured and the first in 13 years. it is a significant move here against adam schiff. with that we bring in nancy mace serving on the house oversight committee. great to have you here, congresswoman mace. what were your thoughts that played out last night on the floor. it got noisy as they shouted shame, shame, shame while speaker mccarthy tried to get this business done. >> the irony wasn't lost on any of us. he was censured and kicked off the intel committee for leaking classified information from the intel committee and as the democrats were cheering him on we think classified information is okay as long as your last name isn't trump. they want to see donald trump spend the rest of his life in jail for having documents that

he did not leak. what is shameful was their behavior last night. the standard needs to be applied to everybody. adam schiff is no hero here. >> martha: a reminder of some of the language he used that was according to the durham report based on no evidence. watch this. >> this is about as clear evidence you could find of intent by the campaign to collude with the russians. russians offered help, the campaign accepted help. the russians gave help and the president made full use of that help. there is clear evidence of the issue of collusion. >> martha: oops. congresswoman mace, when you look back at that he was so definitive, so absolute in his condemnation of the former president on this and then the whole thing fell apart. >> right. so bold, so absolute in his lies about the russia collusion hoax

and republicans were deemed and called conspiracy theorists, that's what happening today. all we tried to do is tell the truth. finally some accountability happened last night. other punishment might be referred to the ethics committee. you can't make up a lie. the russian collusion whole thing was paid for by the clinton campaign and the left wants to turn their back on this. we want to make sure the american people know the truth, know the facts of what actually happened and a guy who leaked information and made stuff up based out of thin air was adam schiff. >> martha:. your reaction to this and his answer to a question by bret baier this week. >> what do you say to the female independent suburban voter to feels that way to win her back? >> first of all i won in 2020 by a lot. let's get that straight. i won in 2020. if you look at all of the tapes and if you look at everything.

-- >> this is how you will tell that independent suburban woman voter? >> we are winning an election and i think we're winning well. >> martha: was that a persuasive answer if independent women were watching that? >> i am a suburban single mom of two teenage kids. i tell you suburban women are going to be enormous to us. critical to our party to winning the white house in 2024, to keeping a majority of the house, slipping the senate. this is an area we need to -- no matter who the nominee is we need to make sure we have an intense focus on winning back women. i have tried to show a roadmap, a pathway to winning women back. i won my primary and general election by 14 points in a district that was very purple and heavily reliant on educated suburban women. we need to make sure we have a concrete answer talking about that and show that as

republicans we care about women and pro-women at the same time pro-life. we have to have a strong message in 2024 for the suburban women. >> martha: a headline in "politico" this morning saying the new trump acolyte no one saw coming, nancy mace. what is your reaction to that and also my question was do you think that talking about the 2020 election being stolen is a way to win back women voters? >> the way to win back women voters is to look forward. we need to show we care about women. when roe was overturned we saw a dramatic change in the electorate and shouldn't be afraid to talk about how we protect women who are victims of rape or girls victims of incest or make sure women have greater access to birth control in this country episcopal will i in states where they banned abortion. these are things that women care about in suburban areas. things i've been talking about for a very long time.

i appreciate the question there. my focus right now is on south carolina. i represent constituents in south carolina working very hard for those people. but at the same time, i want to make sure we don't give the country away to joe biden in 2024. which is why i talk about issues that are sensitive. i talk about women's issues a lot. i want women to know we as republicans care about them and advocate and fight for their rights, too. >> martha: would you be open to being on the ticket as a vice presidential candidate with former president trump? >> well, i'm flattered by the question. i do strongly believe i have said this from the beginning that we need to have a woman on the ticket. we need to have a woman that can reach out to independent voters and suburban women but a long way from that process. we have months to go. won't be until next year before we know who the nominee is and what it might look like in the future. >> martha: always good to see you. thank you very much. >> bill: a lot of pomp and circumstance on the south lawn of the white house.

good to see a moment ago. now the president is at the microphone. >> two proud nations whose love of freedom security our independence. bound by the same words in our constitution, first three words, we the people. enduring ties and shared values between our people and the shared responsibilities global leaders to tackle the great issues of our time together. [speaking foreign language]

>> president biden: i'm honored to be the first to have you here in 15 years. the united states is honoring and hosting an official visit for the republic of india. prime minister modi, welcome back to the white house. [cheers and applause] >> bill: that was the moment we were waiting for address before congress and a press conference today, martha. you may get that in your hour. >> martha: we might. prime minister modi was doing yoga outside the u.n. on the lawn yesterday when he was in new york. >> bill: that's coming up. a big state dinner tonight. stay tuned. more on that as the visit

continues there at the white house. right now 18 past. want to move to this real quick. >> martha: i.r.s. whistleblower testified behind closed doors last month that hunter biden received preferential treatment by the agency. supposedly a lot more. now the transcript of his exclusive testimony could be released to the public. david spunt live at the department of justice with the latest. >> it could be released as soon as today. things always get delayed on capitol hill. we'll see what happens from the ways and means committee. this is an interview done last month, six-hour interview done with an i.r.s. supervisory special agent saying a high profile investigation was slow walked at the direction of the department of justice. it is gary shapley. he can't see the name of the investigation for legal reasons because he is still employed by the i.r.s., we know via multiple

source eaves he is talking about the hunter biden tax investigation. he spent that time behind closed doors last month. hunter biden will plead guilty to two misdemeanor charges. he owed 100 grand in federal income tax each year and never paid by the deadline. shapley began his work on the biden tax probe in 2020. a heated meeting between federal prosecutors and i.r.s. investigators caused him to speak up. he was removed from the case and alleging retaliation. d.o.j. declines to comment on his allegations. a majority are unknown. members of the house ways and means committee spoke this morning before going into the closed-door session. listen. >> the whistleblower testimony shows that the federal government is not treating all taxpayers the same. the american people deserve to

know whether politically-connected, wealthy individuals are allowed to operate above the law. >> we wait to see if any transcripts are released today. the big question, is this i.r.s. investigation that gary shapley is blowing the whistle on, is that what resulted in that plea deal from hunter biden just two days ago, that tax plea deal? we know he will be in court next month on july 26th to appear before a judge. >> martha: very important questions. >> bill: 21 past. president biden missing a deadline to declassify and release documents on the origins of covid. it was supposed to happen four days ago according to a law that he signed back in march. michael shellenberger, founder of public and author is with me now. i've been watching you on twitter. you are hot on this topic. take our viewers to march and what the president said when he signed the origins act of 2023.

i share congress's goal releasing as much information as possible about the origin of coronavirus and implementing this legislation my administration will declassify and share as much of that information as possible. now it is possible that there is top secret information in there and in that event it would be redacted. however, we're now on thursday and four days past the deadline. what is the hold-up? >> we don't know. some of our sources speculate that it is complicated to declassify this information. although i would note that we did report on who sources told us were the first three people to get the covid virus back in 2019. all three of those people were working on sars-like coronavirus to engineer them to increase their infectiousness. we did not reveal our sources. it is hard not to be suspicious

of this delay. they are in violation of their own law, as you pointed out. and this is an issue where there has been a significant amount of government disinformation. they claimed that people raising the possibility that it leaked from a lab, they called them racist. said it was a conspiracy theory. that's despite decades of lab leaks that had caused past epidemics. despite a lot of evidence that the chinese security of their labs was inadequate. and so it is a lot of good reason to be suspicious of what's going on here that maybe there is a cover-up going on of the officials who may have contributed to create the coronavirus in the first place. >> bill: a lot of conjecture out there. u.s. taxpayer dollars went to the lab and what came of that. 11 months ago here is anthony fauci. >> if you ask me, and a lot of qualified virologists, looking at the evolution of this and the

epidemiological circumstances, you talk to people that have nothing to do with us here. we look at australia investigators, people from the u.k. and canada, they say we have an open mind but it looks very much like this was a natural occurrence. >> bill: what's happened 11 months since then in your view, michael? >> since then we've heard from multiple sources within the u.s. government that in fact the first three people to get sick with this were working to engineering coronavirus in the wuhan institute of virology. we have emails from late january 2020 where fauci's own advisors said they believed the coronavirus was engineered and they thought it was more likely than not that it leaked from a lab. so for dr. fauci to make those statements, it is very disappointing. i agree with the former cdc director that fauci's behavior is disappointing and behavior

consistent with the kind of behavior you would see from somebody who was trying to cover up u.s. government efforts to fund coronavirus research in china. notably in violation of president obama's 2014 ban on that very same research. >> bill: michael, it remains a mystery. maybe it happens today or it doesn't. you will stay on it and so will we. we are all curious. the world needs to know. not just us, the world needs to know. thank you for your time today. >> thanks for having me. >> martha: there is a look at the supreme court. we are now getting information that we won't have any of the major headline supreme court rulings that we have been waiting for, including affirmative action, including the student loan release that the white house put in place. the question of whether or not the white house has the constitutional right to forgive an enormous amount of money that is owed to different entities

around the country. so obviously those are the biggest decisions we're waiting for and it won't be this morning. >> bill: i thought you would be our good luck charm. maybe tomorrow. they'll be back in court at 10:00 a.m. on friday. we'll see then. only eight more days before they break for the summer. >> martha: there are new warnings this morning on artificial intelligence. analysts predicting dire consequences if beijing gets ahead of the united states and starts setting the rules on all of this, if rules are even possible, for the rest of the world. plus a battle between billionaires, twitter owner elon musk challenging meta chief mark zuckerberg to a cage match. ♪

noises have been heard while looking for the submersible. the search is now entering a critical stage. with the vessel's oxygen supply on the verge of running out. joining us now is a former member of the f.b.i.'s dive team bobby. welcome, good to have you with us today. your thoughts as you look at the number of resources that have gone to this area, the fact that there are more noises being heard and the oxygen situation. >> first of all, the noises.

the ocean makes a lot of noises, both manmade and natural noises in the ocean. noise and sound behave differently underwater depending on the salt content and temperature of the water and movement. it is very difficult and i'm sure they have the world's leading experts analyzing these sounds. just because there are sounds there people shouldn't assume it is coming from the sub. it could but they shouldn't assume that. i'm sure they have analysts who are experts in doing this work listening to those sounds to determine whether or not they are relevant. the amount of resources thrown at this is worldwide. the world has opened up and thrown everything at it and shows you the immensity of the ocean. the earth is covered 70% or more by water. an area we've explored the surface of mars than our own deep ocean. it is a vast area and a lot of resources needed to find a very, very small object in such a large area.

the oxygen i've been cautioning people from the beginning about the oxygen levels or the air levels in there. that's best case scenario, 96 hours we heard starting on sunday is a best case scenario. those calculations are made based on normal working conditions. when people are stressed, hyperventilating because their nervous the air consumption increases making that time frame much smaller depending on how stressed they are and their breathing rate and if they are injured. that number could be much smaller and that air could have been exhausted by now. >> martha: we're learning one of the vehicles, the few that would have the capability to get down to it is still quite a distance away. what is your best estimate in terms of when this changes from a rescue effort to potentially a recovery effort and would they try to continue to find it after a certain amount of time? what do you think, bobby?

>> well, i think today is a crucial day and tomorrow certainly. once we start getting into the weekend on this, you have to start making assumptions that the individuals probably could no longer survive based on the best estimates of available air to them. today is crucial, tomorrow you start making that decision. certainly by the weekend you start changing your intentions and does it become a rescue -- recovery operation? this is a very expensive endeavor. going to this depth of the ocean very expensive and a lot of manpower. how much resources can we expend to find these people? >> martha: as the days have ticked by and we've heard theories that maybe it got caught on the debris. it was only one hour and 45 minutes in the route when it lost communication.

do you see it as a systematic failure or caught on something? if it was caught on something wouldn't the communications still be potentially available? >> you are exactly right and that's my fear. it wasn't a case where it got snagged on something. they would have been able to report that initially. it was in the phase. dive where it was descending, going under increasing pressure. it hadn't reached the bottom yet which means to me the pressure could have gotten too much. there could have been a failure of the vessel and you could have had a catastrophic and immediate collapse and implosion of that vessel. >> martha: thank you very much, bobby. >> bill: we shall watch that today and tomorrow. billionaires coming to blows. today's hemmer celebrity news. roll it. if you've been watching it musk is slamming zuckerberg.

must bing telling followers he is up for a cage match against the zuck. he says send me location. zuckerberg is training in jujitsu and just won a competition. musk suggested las vegas for a cage match. if it happens maybe we jump a flight to las vegas. >> martha: we'll cover it live. some people on the set said they president their money on musk but i think i put my money on zuckerberg based on his latest training. ladies and gentlemen, in this corner. all right. well, the feud that is ramping up, this is getting interesting between the florida governor and the california governor, ron desantis and gavin newsom with the republican taking shots on

>> martha: news this morning on the 2024 front. former texas congressman will hurd is the latest to join this increasingly-crowded primary race. hurd is a fierce critic of donald trump saying he is hoping to win momentum as a moderate alternative. former c.i.a. agent, analyst and the 12th candidate vying for the gop nomination. >> for decades in this country

people have beaten a path to california. yet they never lost population until their current governor took office. now they are hemorrhaging wealth and population. >> bill: ron desantis firing back at newsom. he said florida can't come close to his own state's fast-growing economy. deputy chief of staff karl rove talked with us today. good morning to you in austin, texas. here is also an ad that desantis is running about san francisco. keep in mind newsom, before he was governor was mayor of san francisco. watch here. >> just shows you these policies matter. leadership matters. they are doing it wrong here. no wonder why we've had so many people move from san francisco to florida over the last few years. >> bill: that's a sample of it. he is on the streets of san francisco making that ad and that statement. what did you think?

is it effective and where does it go between these two men? >> it serves each one of them well. newsom a chance to look like a democrat taking on the tough republican and it gives desantis to -- why newsom engages in this is beyond me. it lost members of its congressional delegations, last one seat in the last redistricting and anticipated to lose five at the end of this decade because the population is leaving to go to nevada, arizona, texas, florida, and the rocky mountain west. it is austin texas is exploding the expatriates from california bringing their businesses, jobs, skills, energy and wealth to texas because they can no longer take what's happening in california. newsom seems to glory in that i exemplify the modern california. it is what is causing a lot of

people to leave. >> martha: interesting how much confidence he has in light of how troubled his state is. reminds me a little of mayor deblasio who ran for president thinking he was doing a bang-up job in new york. i want to ask you about this, karl. we now have the miami mayor suarez, who has thrown his hat in the ring and this morning congressman will hurd from your home state of texas. what do you think is motivating these folks to get in at this point? what are they seeing in the dynamics that say there is an opportunity for me here? >> i think there is -- if you travel around the country, i as these people do and i do, you run into people who say i like what donald trump did but he has too much baggage and too old and we need to have a younger generation. i want to turn the page. i think that will hurd and mayor suarez are building on that. they are feeling that in their areas and their states in their travels and they think they have

a shot. admittedly both suarez and hurd from long shots. but, you know, it's exciting to run for president. my suspicion is that it is unlikely a number of these candidates will make it to the debate stage, which is going to be really critical to be on if you want to be -- if you want to continue this contest. but god bless them for jumping in. >> martha: since you brought it up. tell me what you think of the criteria and the 40,000 individuals and all of that, how hard will it be to get on the debate stage? >> well, it will be hard because first of all you have to have 1% or better in three national polls. and ironically enough if you have a weird name like vivek ramaswamy you have a better shot than if your name is will hurd. you can't pronounce it and it sticks in your brain. but that's going to be a problem. the big hurdle will be 40,000

individual donors with at least 200 from each of 20 states. now if you are governor dougburg um of north dakota who has done a great job governing his states. you might be able to get 40,000 donors out of north dakota but requiring you to show national support from across the country will be tougher. getting on the debate stage will be key to be taken seriously as a candidate when we enter the next phase of the campaign, which will be in the late fall, august, september, debates. by september, october, november, people are starting to really pay attention in the early primary states and caucus states of iowa, new hampshire, nevada and south carolina and people start to line up and polls begin to change if they are going to change. >> bill: 40,000 individual donors and 20 different states with at least 200 donors in each of those states. >> in 20 states in each of those

states. >> bill: and 1% polling. >> assume by using digital fundraising techniques people are going to tend to get all 50 states. the question is if you are will hurd you get 200 people in texas for sure. -- but what are the other states you'll get 200? >> the debate is on a wednesday in milwaukee in august. thank you, sir, very much. talk to you next week. former ncaa swimmer riley gaines testifying in her experience competing against trans women like lia thomas. a growing number of athletes make a move to protect women's sport. another one might succeed in her own state and you are about to meet her. here's a great way to do it. the newday 100 va cash out loan.

ongoing for the tourist submersible. they're trying to find the titan. supreme court justice aletio is clapping back. the gop white house field just got bigger. ben domenech, tomi lahren, "the faulkner focus" top of the hour. >> believing in biology is not bigoted. following the science there are only two sexes and real and important differences is not hateful. it is fact. >> bill: that was riley gaines yesterday. she delivered that emotional statement on competing against trans athletes. she led the way as the biden administration seeks to outlaw transgender sports ban. this is a pro cyclist and live in asheville, north carolina. nice to see you today.

you are a mother, right? you have kids in the game here, too. and you are in a state where the governor has defied the republican legislature trying to ban this. what was your experience in your competition with a trans athlete? >> well, i've been competing against trans athletes since 2017. it has been a long fight. i appreciate now the fact that we have a platform to speak out especially as a registered democrat, liberal woman. there are many of us. most women, i would say, believe in single sex fairness for women in sports. this isn't something that just affects women, it affects girls in all ages of sport. we won't be allowed to -- women won't be allowed to become elite or professional athletes when they are unable to have fair competition. equally so the average female

shouldn't expect to show up in an event and not have a fair chance at not even just a podium finish but their rightful position within whatever group they are participating in. >> bill: i want to play the sound bite from yesterday. there was a witness saying the williams sisters who are awesome tennis players would do well against men. >> greatest of all time. >> bill: listen to the exchange here. >> there has been this news article about men that think they could beat serena williams in tennis, right in they think they could score a point on her. it is just not the case. she is stronger than that. >> both serena and venus loss to the 203 ranked tennis player. they are phenoms for women. >> bill: how did you do against trans athlete competition? >> well, you know, it's not even a matter of whether or nifty a trans identified athlete can beat you in competition.

i raced against some who haven't beaten me. the mental anguish that female athletes are faced with when they show up to a competition expecting that everyone is following the same rules and instead we have been told that certain individuals, males who identify as females, have been given special rules and consideration to compete with us. it is simply not fair. whether or not a male beats a female or participates in lessens the competition. it is not fair. it doesn't happen in male sports. i do have to say this to my son but i talk to my daughter it may not be about your biological advantages with other females who have similar efforts and gains within their sport. instead you might be competing against somebody who just simply has a completely different set of biological advantages that were given to them since birth. >> bill: good luck on your fight

there. a 9-year-old son and 11-year-old daughter and you are trying to raise them well. you might have a veto-proof majority. >> i'm proud of our state. we have the bill that will be passed and a bipartisan effort. we have hathaway who crossed party lines and shown this isn't a partisan -- it is not a partisan effort. it is nonpartisan. liberal women and men and conservative men and women and we can all agree on this. >> bill: we'll follow it. thank you for your time today. >> i appreciate it, thank you so much. >> bill: we have a minute here, don't we before we go? shall we? here we go. favorite summer song. ♪ don't worry, about a thing. >> martha: it puts me in a vacation mode. >> bill: find two summer songs. you chose one? >> martha: it's one of my favorites. everything is going to be all
