♪ ♪ ♪ no need to complicate it, i'm a simple man ♪ pete: good morning. welcome to the fourth and final hour of "fox & friends" on this friday -- excuse me, saturday, november 18th. year of our lord, 2023 -- rachel: who's tired today? pete: we're all tired, because with we're coming off being in that town for the patriot awards, which was phenomenal. will, i think one of the things nashville and austin share or or in common is they are also the capital of their states which means you've got a lot of government involvement -- will will country music. pete: we're hoping that nashville -- we know there's a liberal mayor in nashvilleing but generally, it's a more conservative area, not go the way of austin, which has lost

its mind. will: we just got back from nashville where we had, pete hoed -- what was it, the fifth? fifth annual patriot awards. it was an awesome event, celebrates -- i'm hesitant to say everyday americans, but how about non-celebrity americans who do the some very heroic things that are not evidence acts ask and are -- everyday acts and are awarded the patriot award. rachel: i gave the first award out to moms of liberty, and i don't know who planned it, i think your wife did, really grateful she let me give that award out. i'm just so proud of the moms of liberty. being called domestic terrorists and just the abuse they took in many ways just to defend their kids and their schools and go, we have -- we're not going to let liberals take over our schools like this and indoctrinate our kids. we're going to stand in between, and they did it, and they've

been really vilified in so many ways. pete: even in the green room, rachel, to your point, they were talking about a tweet that had come at them accusing them of the worst possible thing. remember, they were just two everyday moms two, tree years ago, now they're front and center on the takes of the left, and they didn't do it so they could stand on the stage at the patriot awards, they did it because they believed in parents and kids. i want to give a shout-out too to the production staff. everyone involved in putting an event like this on, it's a massive undertaking. and i dare anyone to not, i dare anyone to say that this show was not as well produced as something hike the oscars -- rachel: yeah. pete: or anything you would see on network television. they put together an awesome show from audio to lighting, to backstage -- rachel: there's dennis quaid. pete: i mean, this is a world war ii vet, 99 years old, who shared when he still -- what he still does by spreading the message of those stories, too few that are still with us.

rachel: is he the last one? pete: there's, i think, 100,000 left -- rachel: no, from his battalion -- pete: from his unit, the last from his unit. it was an inspiring evening. you can still go to fox nation right now, vets and military, free subscription, watch the whole show. i would encourage you to do so. feedback's been with wonderful. he's a concern here's a young kid, preston the sharp, who at at the age of 10 decides to place flags and flowers at the graves of vets because he didn't see any and kept9 doing it for seven years. that's why we do it. we celebrated america in flashville at the grand ole opry house -- nashville, and we're hoping to do it again there next year, we'll see. we're not officially announcing it -- rachel: it was a great night. we gave an award to domestic terrorist moms. [laughter] pete: if you listen to the other side, that's how they would -- rachel: i was proud to do that.

pete: i was proud that the we, like, know where our center is. loving the country and standing with the good country who fight for -- people who fight for it. the recipients change every year, but the message is the same; honoring real heroes. will: right now thousands of israelis flooding the streets of jerusalem demanding the are release of hostages taken by hamas. meanwhile, here in the united states massive anti-israeli protests breaking out yesterday. >> one, two, three, four -- >> [inaudible] >> occupation no more! >> five, six, seven, eight -- >> five, six, seven, eight -- >> [inaudible] >> israel is a terror state! rachel: hundreds of protesters swarming new york city's penn station last night. just hours earlier at least 40 pro-palestinian activists were arrested at the university of michigan. pete: that pro-palestinian activism here at home comes as the idf continues to carry out

raids in the west bank in addition to gaza, arresting at least another dozen terror hamas operatives overnight in sumeria. triyaingsly in -- trey yingst live in southern israel with what's happening on the ground. dre, what's the update? >> reporter: hey, guys, good morning. we are following reports out of gaza about that a strike that hit a u.n. school in the northern part of the strip where thousands of internally displaced palestinians were sheltering. we have not been able to independent9ly confirm this information, but we have reviewed video circulateing on line that shows a mass casualty situation among those civilians. new video was released by the israelis of drones striking hamas professions concern positions inside gaza, rocket fire still continues 43 days into this conflict. and just an indication that hamas and islam. ic jihad are still able to fire from areas along dad saw. -- gauze ca. the israelis finding new weapons

and rockets stored by islam lammic -- islamic jihad store thed inside gaza, rockets use to fire into israel as this conflict continues into its sevenst week. the shifa hospital, a focus of the international community this week, earlier in the week we were there wees reilly forces as they continue to operate in the heart of gaza city. reports this morning indicated the israelis urged palestinians to evacuate shifa that were able to leave, those who are reffing treatment at the hospital and not able to leave, the israeli military says they will be assisted by international organizations, some of that coordination taking place as we speak. i do want the bring your attention to the northern border with lebanon where earlier today 25 rockets were fired into northern israel by hezbollah. at this hour, the israelis are striking back, hitting a number of different positions. it does indicate how often arabian proxies -- iranian

proxies remain active, this map showing the 6 is strikes against u.s. assets across the middle east. iranian proxies not just in gaza and lebanon, but also in iraq and syria with, threatening to bring the entire region into a much broader conflict. back to you with. rachel: trey, really quick, are there any updates on the hostages? >> reporter: there aren't many updates on the hostages. a few bodies were found if around the shifa hospital in gaza city. we have other information we're waiting to report out of the respect of the families of these loved ones that have just been waiting for 43 days to get any information about the hostages taken into gaza. it is a dire situation. families are demanding that some sort of deal be cut to try and possibly swap prisoners for hostages or implement some sort of ceasefire that would be temporary just to allow for the release of dozens of hostages. those conversations are taking place at a very high level, but

the israelis are looking for a calculation that would allow them to continue their operation against hamas but, of course, bring as many of those israelis home as possible. rachel: thank you, trey. will: thank you. pete: appreciate you. rachel: i don't blame those families. gosh, must be terrible. will: some families in america might be ashamed if they looked at their children's social media the past couple weeks. there's a trend on tiktok of americans who have somehow if found themselves apologizing or embracing or finding themselves fascinated by osama bin laden's letter to america, a letter he wrote after 9/11, planning why he killed -- explaining why he killed 3,000 americans. watch. >> -- right now and go read, it's literally two pages, go read a letter to america. and, please, come back here and just let me know what you think, because i feel like i'm going through an existential crisis right now, and a lot of people are. is so i just is need someone else to be feeling this too.

rachel: for a lot of young people, learning about 9/11 is a new thing. it's how the topic of 9/11 if has been removed from the curriculum because they want to be seventive. i remember -- can sensitive. i remember the young americas foundation, my son was part of that, he tried to do on 9/11 a memorial putting 3,000 flags and having a commemoration, and in a catholic school in rural wisconsin that was controversial. one of the secretaries at the school, like, tore down the poster, you know, because it was insensitive to talk about this. if9 and the motivations of the terrorists. now, i think that the motivations aren't as a simplistic as when our government said, you know, they just hate our freedom. we should hate -- have these discussions. and if more of them, it's probably the first time they've thought about any of these ideas, but they have so little education and on this and so many topics that it gets simplified to no tiktok on

oppression. the discussion is very, very bad online. pete: yeah. the blame america first crowd has always been out there, but if you'd have told me 20 years ago that our young people would be sharing a lot, millions of them, a letter written by osama bin laden on a communist chinese-owned app which is also transing our kids, that we would go so far so quickly, you wouldn't believe i. but that's exactly what's happened. not only are they -- they're not trying to understand the argument of osama bin laden, they're trying to say, no, america's to blame, israel's to blame. take the word of a terrorist, an a islamist, and celebrate those the as if that that's the side of the story our kids should know. and china relishes this. are i'll. will: i've seen the videos, and they say stuff like read the letter, it's only two pages. it's in the true. i went and read the letter to america -- i don't know if you with happened -- rachel: yeah. i read some of it.

will: it's eight pages, actually. and there's some speculation about who might have written this for osama bin laden, because it's pretty fluent in english, it's pretty -- more importantly, it is, it's got your standard islamist stuff about, you know, basically the fall of the morality of the west, you know, i mean, it says in there how it feels about homosexuality, however else. but it also has a your cracker jack box selection of standard the howard's end, you know, neo-marxist, liberal fare. like, it talks about the kyoto protocols like climate change. do you think osama bin laden cares this much about climate change? i should have spoke in the past especially the. do you think osama bin laden cared about climate change? give me a break. the point is, it was designed for this -- rachel: yeah. pete: to indict america. will: and from within. from within. to get those who blame america first or want to see it through

a marxist prism. you know, osama bin laden had a point. rachel: yeah. we had stacy washington, she's the host of stacy on the right on siriusxm, she's also an air force veteran. here's what she had to say about it e when we asked her. >> this is all to wage war on the west and especially america who they see as the great satan. there's so much to this. it's intentional, and they're doing this using the tiktokup app which is just a propaganda tool that the ccp uses to teach our children that dancing and all kinds of things that are the really not fruitful for business and for life are important where this chinese tiktok has, you know, students blowing up rockets and doing all kinds of science and math challenges. and so they're using this in concert together to subvert the aim of of the which is we want freedom and liberty and capitalism and freeway markets, and tiktok actually advocates for the ap ott -- opposite of all of that. rachel: yeah. i wish we could have robust

conversations about islam and radical islam and the role of america, you know, in other countries, in our foreign policy, in you are military interventions and all this kind of stuff, but you can't have is it in this simplistic way -- will: that's interesting. you know what else is interesting in the convergence of islam and the far left. rachel: yes. will: that's a fascinating. president what do they converge around? who they hate and what they don't like. will: yes. some of it is geopolitical because i think people don't realize the history of the soviet union's embrace with of essentially that side of the world as a buffer against the west, as saves city points out, is a -- stacy points out, is a geopolitical fact of history. pete: no doubt. our enemies of world war ii made the same deals in jerusalem. so there's been this alliance -- will: you're talking about the nazi es -- pete: yeah. expect head of the mosque in jerusalem. will: right. rachel: i think there are third

rails, and there's a lot of censorship going on. we need an educated populace, and we need more speech, and the answer comes out in that debate. pete: yeah. i'm for a little bit of cent sr.ship when it comes to tiktok -- will: are you? if. pete: ban it. it's a communist chinese propaganda tool in our country. will: yeah. but it's not just tick texas as the problem -- tiktok. rachel: it's on instagram -- pete: this is a -- will: this is a moment of test for conservatives. i'm going to be real. if you, if you believe in free speech, you have to have able to tolerate speech that you hate -- pete: should you believe a bullhorn from your enemies -- will: no, no, that's why i said this is bigger than tiktok. and it's happening. if we focus on tiktok, we're missing the greatest thing. there's something happening on x as we speak, it's happening on college campuses, and if we believe in free speech, we need to trust our ability to win the debate when those ideas collide. rachel: exactly.

pete: no doubt. but inside that, you can still recognize when an organism itself -- will: you're talking about tiktok. pete: tiktok only, is what i'm talking about. rachel: i initially was no tiktok, and i'm not sure where i stand right now. i talked to my daughter who posts conservative videos, her are videos are more censored on instagram than on tick texas. -- tiktok. she says conservative voices are less likely to be censored on tiktok. so again, i'm not saying i understand what the chinese are doing. i get there's this whole other thing going on, but i think it's a lot more nuanced, and i don't know if you shut down tiktok, if that doesn't mean all this other stuff going to happen. not going to happen. pete: i think it will. it's just stuff that you can do. rachel: interesting debate. let's continue that debate if at some point. [laughter] pete: turning now to your headlines, police are expected to give an update on yesterday's deadly shooting at a new hampshire psychiatric hospital. officers say a gunman opened fire in the lobby of the

♪ ♪ will: president biden met with mexican president obrador yesterday praising their partnership in tackling the surge of illegal immigrants and drugs crossing our southern border. pete: meanwhile, house republicans released a jaw-dropping report revealing nearly half a trillion of your tax dollars have gone to the border crisis under biden.

rachel: congressman august pfluger is with the house homeland security committee and the house foreign affairs committee, and me joins us now. congressman, wouldn't it have just is been cheaper to just build a wall? [laughter] >> well, rachel, absolutely. when you look at the very first quote from the mexican president praising joe biden for not building the wall, being the first president to not build wall, to look for legal pathways, you know, it's kind of the twilight zone because it's clear that the president is not standing up for us, and the mexican president is applauding him for that. ly rhode island -- rachel: right. >> his first job is to stand up for americans. he's clearly not doing that. pete: so where with's that money going when you look at the staggering apt of money? what's e the utility of it? >> yeah. $450 billion, as you mentioned, almost half a trillion to u.s. taxpayers. in texas, $10 billion plus to operate lone star, yuma regional with $26 billion in medical

expenses, farmers and ranchers whose properties are being destroyed. and not to mention the cost of crime. in my district we had the unfortunate incident where a family lost their grandmother and a child. this is happening everywhere, and that is costing counties millions of dollars to process those crimes. t just insane. you know what? the dollar amount is staggering. let me make one point though, the intangible of the destruction of the rule of law is something that we will feel for decades to come, and that's really very scary, what biden is doing to us. will: congressman, you know, there was this statement from joe biden during this meeting talking about we've worked on, as you mentioned a moment ago, sort of partnering together on increasing legal pathways into the united states. he talked about restitution. and then you've got amlo saying things like i want to greet our paisanoses, the mexican migrants who are living and making a living in the united states, around 40 million have made the united states their second home, their second country.

i'm curious, what kind of partnership are we working on here between mexico and the united states? >> well, president biden is coming at it from a complete perspective of weakness. i mean, the folks that come here legally that work in this country, that do a good job, you know, become citizens, that is wonderful, and and we need to continue to do that. however, when amlo is talking -- what he's really talking about is they're running the trafficking and smuggling operations directly through mexico, and they're not kneeling the brunt of -- feeling the brunt of it, we are. president trump said we're going to put tariffs on you, on all mexican goods coming into the united states if you don't help us, if you don't actually do remain in mexico and help us turn away my grants. that's not happening -- migrants. president biden is so weak he can't even hold them accountable for trade issues, much less migration issues. rachel: yeah. we're destroying the notions of citizenship. as you mentioned, that's the intangible. but also a the cartels are

richer and stronger than ever. they're so powerful, mexico's practically a narco state, in my view is. 40% of the land is controlled by by the cartels. >> that's absolutely right. and what they're doing with the fentanyl trade, the precursors coming from china, this is all link linked together, the geopolitics of this, and we need a president who will stand up to it and hold them accountable. it's hurting our communities. just in my district alone, in odessa, texas, the sheriff calls me regularly to tell me about the cost on human lives. this is happening in every single american city. and enough is enough. we've got to cold hem -- hold them account. i'm proud of speaker johnson for making a pledge to make border security the priority. will: well, congressman, we appreciate you going with us this morning, go, mojo, and we'll see you next time. laugh. >> thank you so much. will: all right. don't go anywhere, the pioneer if woman is here with her

terms of -- [laughter] you know, having an hour of prep and then another 45 minutes to get it on the table. so most of these recipes are very fast and between 30, 50 minutes, which i think is really doable for most home cooks. rachel: i definitely think so. so tell me what yo got. >> one of my favorite things to do this -- these days is a family sandwich. so you get a beautiful loaf of bread, cut it down the middle, drizzle it with olive oil and grill it or broil it, get it really crispy, and then to you build this big, honking -- [laughter] rachel: that is a great idea. it's like you're making one meal and, suddenly, you just cut it, and everybody has something. >> exactly. you can turn it into a huge sandwich for two, an average sand a witch for if four, or you can cut it into little slices -- rachel: i'm seeing a lot of empty nest ifer stuff going on here. is that what's happening?

[laughter] >> you think? lab and i have empty nesters, and i have had to rethink my whole cooking life because i used to make enormous batches of chili, enormous pots of soup. and now i can take the it a little easy. but the kids do come home, which you'll find -- empty nest is going to be the a while for you, but it will happen eventually, and then you'll have them, you know, coming home. so on the sandwich i like to make this delicious spread. so this is just a real -- rachel: so easy. >> -- jalapeno spread for the sandwich. this is what it looks like. and i like to really, really spread it on thick because you're covering a had the of ground on this sandwich. -- a a lot of ground on this sandwich. and, aye chel -- rachel, you can start the putting, actually, put it on here.

on? >> yeah, pile it on. i cooked, actually, two ribeye steaks -- rachel: my favorite kind. >> but you can do k. c. strip, you can even doer loin, because if you slice it thin enough, it's nice and tender. so you pile the beef on, and then you can get fancy and add arugula or iceberg, if you want. these are also in my cookbook, pickled red onions, which i'm obsessed with -- rachel: i. too finish i am too. >> they're so bright purple and gorgeous -- rachel: that tanginess. >> i know you love jalapenos. rachel: i do. >> this is kind of perfect as a family sandcic -- w sandwich. you mush this on, and then you can see over here -- rachel: so easy and so filling. i mean, everything you need is in there, the salad, the meats

the bread. >> exactly. and you can make the whole sandwich, wrap it in plastic wrap and put it in the fridge if overnight, and it can a cold sandwich the next day for a picnic or slice off a piece, wrap it, take it to work for lunch. i think family sandwiches are, like, going to sweep the nation. rachel: i'm with you on that. >> they're sweeping my house. rachel: and we have some sweets? >> of course. so this is a chocolate peanut butter pie. you like peanut butter -- rachel: i do. >> and there's nothing, it's like, you know, chocolate cookie crust, and the filling is just peanut butter cream. it tastes like grandma's house. rachel: so creamy. >> i love having things like this in the fridge because it'll last, like, a week -- rachel: not at my house.

side of the door when the gunfight broke with out. thank you both for being here. we were commenting on your story earlier. the courage it took to do what you did to defend your family. we'll get into that story in a moment, but your permit was revoc ed. did they give you a reason why? like, why are you the one that pays the consequence? >> thank you for having us on. no, they haven't given us any written statement. we've requested a written statement, we've reached out to them in an e-mail, my wife with has constantly reached out, and they haven't said anything to us. will: vince, is it standard the protocol after a firearm is discharged or something like this in this kind of incident that they suspend it or is this the, as far as you can tell, unique to your situation? >> i think it's unique to the district we're in in california. they usually will suspend if it temporarily from what i've heard, but then they temporarily suspend it and immediately call

to revoke -- will: to revoke? >> yeah. and said over the phone, no written confirmation, no e-mail, nothing. i feel like it's a petty attempt to strip me of my ability to protect myself because there's so much publicity around the case, and they haven't caught anybody, they're at large, that it's easier for them to do that than actually catch the criminal. rachel: well, now every criminal knows you don't have a gun. carla, when i saw this video and what your husband did, i was so proud of him, and i thought this is exactly what i would want my husband to do, to defend himself and to protect our family. >> yes, absolutely. i mean, it's taken me a few weeks now to try to even articulate how i'm feeling. because it's really been a roller coaster of emotions. but i somehow lie, like, equally feeling so saddened and in such

disbelief that this happened to us as equally proud and impressed with my -- impressed with my husband for really not only handling himself with such class and professionalism on november 4th, but honestly up until this point and the days following. will: vince, we were talking about this a little bit earlier, you know, i know that your car had been broken into, if your home had been attempted to be broking into as well in the months leading up to this moment. but we were watching this video, and your reaction -- you were approached from behind, and you had coffee or tea or something that you were carrying, your reaction's pretty amazing. i don't know if you're intentionally tossing the drinks at the guy, but it certainly forces him to recoil, gives you time to draw your weapon. tell us about that moment. >> well, thank god for starbuck- [laughter] because i had a hot tea in my hand, and when i turned around, the first thing i throw is -- i

can't believe this is really happening. and and i knew that crime has been taking over l.a., and i knew that this does happen. i really didn't think it would happen to me for some reason, just optimism. and i knew my baby and my wife was literally on the other side of the door, and i just thought, skew it -- i screw it, and i threw the tea in his face. i thought they might run off as i charged at them, and when i realized they were still drawing down on me, that's when i realized i'm going to have to do the thing i never wanted to do ors -- and that was use my firearm. pete: he fled, but there's another set of shoes there, there was more than one guy, and your life was threatened. >> yeah. no, 100%. as i hit him9 with the tea, he wasn't fleeing, which a lot of people are commenting that i shot them in the back. i didn't. he was turning around to avoid getting hit with the tea. they weren't leaving just from a cup of tea -- will: did they fire?

>> yeah, they fired. they both fired at me, and when they hopped over the fence, i was hearing gunshots as i was ducking down. i think they were firing out of fear because i was firing and just suppressing fire to keep me away as they were fleeing. but, you know, i was in a safe position at that point. i'd cede -- seen both their backs to me at one point, i didn't fire. my mission wasn't to kill anybody, my mission was to protect my family. and i did a good job of it, and i said, just leave. rachel: carla, what are the reactions of your neighbors? >> honestly, our neighbors have been super supportive, but all of our neighbors want to come together to try to improve our local community and work with our government to hopefully prevent this from happening again in the future. it's what my sleepless nights and stressful days have been like can help one mother not to have to rock their baby back to sleep after they wake up to gunshots at their bedroom. door, it would really be worth

it. and i know this is a morning message to a lot of viewers, and i want a lot of people to know that it's just a reminder you can't -- you can seek mental health. everybody's going through something. we really, rah really need to focus on being kind and being part of the faith in humanity. and our neighbors know that we have a large nonprofit, we have a massive upcoming toy drive on december 2nd down at humboldt studio. if any charities are in need of toys this year with, we have a lot of toys that we can share. if any families are in need this year with, we have a lot to give back. so our neighbors are very supportive. we know they're a part of the greater good, and we really, really, really don't want any of this hate or fear to live in our hearts, and we really hope we can be a part of a great end of the year and beginning of the new year. pete: carla, what an amazing

perspective. what's the name of your charity if your viewers want to help? >> trina's foundation. the it's actually our 10 isth annual holiday toy drive this december, so we're doing a 10-city tour. if you don't see us in l.a., maybe you'll see us in atlanta, tampa, or miami, all across the states. pete: awesome. will: vince, carla, thank you so much. nice job, vince. rachel: you're a hero, vince. pete: god bless you. will: the los angeles county sheriff's department declined to provide a statement at this time. pete: this is the kind of story i hope we stay on -- rachel: me too. pete: what happens on the next steps of a guy who's been stripped of his ability to defend his home and his family. rachel: we should use that tape for -- [inaudible] by the way. pete: could be part of it. will: more "fox & friends" coming up.

rick: welcome back to "fox & friends." obviously, a big travel weekend and travel week ahead of us. and we have two storms we're watching. one bringing cooler air and rain and wind across parts of the northeast, so expect some delays. this is our front moving through, you see that colder air coming in behind it. temps for the northeast will really drop. all part of this system, by the way, we had amazing amounts of rain in florida this week.

flooding, that system is out of here, won't impact us. doesn't look like a lot of rain, just going to be a lot of wind this the afternoon and cooler air, and that could cause problems at the airport as. then the storm that's coming into california bringing rain and mountain snow, this becomes our storm that is going to have impacts across the entire country over the next four days. tomorrow we see snow across the rockies, severe weather across parts of the plains. that severe weather spreads across parts of the deep south for monday, big travel mess of rain on monday, and take a look at this, by tuesday moe of this across i -- most of this across the eastern seaboard. will, to you. will: the cincinnati bengals could be in hot water while the team faces the rest of the season without joe burrow. burrow's wrist was injured prior to thursday's games despite not being listed on the team's injury reports. it comes as surfaced photos appear to show the quarterback

arriving in baltimore with a wrist brace on. take a look at that. here with her take, outkick personality, charly, maybe if you're not a big gambler or if you're not a big nfl fan, teams are required to list injuries for players going into a game. tell me why that is and why it would be a big deal if they didn't list that a for joe burrow. >> it's really important for a few reasons, one being you just mentioned, sports betting. it's taken over or the support world. people need to know who might not be praying up -- playing up to their full potential because they're putting a lot of money on these games in some cases. the fact this he wasn't listed on the injury report and ended up leaving the game, obviously, was a huge effect. we saw a few weeks ago patrick mahomes had the flu going into the game, still played the entire game, yet he was still listed on the injury report. it is required by the nfl. bill: and also for competitive reasons, because this existed

before gambling was legalized. you need to tell your opponent -- >> absolutely. they knee to game plan. -- they need to game plan. if they know the backup is in the game, they're going to game plan if a different way, so it's very important for the teams to be up front in this aspect ahead of time. will: now he's out for the whole season. >> which is a shame, because they were set up for success. he got the massive contract heading into this system, the richest in nfl history. will: he's missed a ton of games. meanwhile, coach jim harbaugh accepted a 3-game suspension as the big ten drops its sign-stealing investigation, charly. >> oh, this, the drama of this whole story is just so interesting because we already saw earlier in the week or the past few weeks connor stallion, the one accused of going to the different games and actually taking part in the sign steal thing, was fired. now the linebackers' coach has

been fired because it was found that he was destroying ed on the back end. as it turns out, there is a secret booster donor named uncle t., that's all we know. you can speculate what you want, what does that normally stand for? will: i'm not going to say it. i say it off camera, and we all joke. i don't know who uncle t. is -- >> there's a very relevant alumni, someone who played for several years, maybe he play played for tampa bay -- this is all speculation, but there's a booster who's been donating money that was said to have gone towards this sign-steal thing scandal and now a linebacker's coach who was trying to cover it up on the back end. this story just keeps getting and more and more interesting. jim harbaugh will not be on the sidelines as the team takes on maryland in what could be their thousandth win in the program's

history. will: and that game is going on on -- to be on fox, big noon if kickoff will be starting at 10 a.m. eastern time taking you up to that game. michigan, who remains, by the way, undefeated. right in the mix of everything. remember to check out what's clicking on outkick.com. thank you, charly. >> thank you. will: more "fox & friends" moments away. ♪ i ♪ ♪ things are looking up, i've got symptom relief. ♪ ♪ control of my crohn's means everything to me. ♪ ♪ control is everything to me. ♪ feel significant symptom relief at 4 weeks with skyrizi, including less abdominal pain and fewer bowel movements. skyrizi is the first il-23 inhibitor that can deliver remission and visibly improve damage of the intestinal lining. and the majority of people experienced long-lasting remission at one year. serious allergic reactions and an increased risk of infections or a lower ability to fight them may occur.
