one. why don't we -- will: they're lab monkeys. rachel: it's disgusting. remember when fauci -- [inaudible conversations] did it with all these beagles? pete: i don't think fauci was there. i think this is a separate lab experiment -- will: but the horse is out of the barn. the monkeys already have a third arm. we don't need them running around out there in the wild. [laughter] pete: you've got to catch them, find them. rachel: let's find them, make sure they're healthy if if then free them. pete: fine, wherever their natural habitat is. will: and then free them? this is how we end up with all new diseases. [laughter] rachel: well, this is our habitat. pete: they're in south carolina. rachel: all right. all eyes on president-elect trump's future. count that sound good? president-elect trump? i know, we're all breathing a sigh of relief. he's putting together his cabinet. he needs to fill up some of those important posts. will: house armed services committee chairman mike rogers

of alabama is being considered for secretary of defense. pete: i feel like that's mike rogers this in michigan -- chanley painter -- will: i just read it. pete: no. no, no no,, you were not wrong, i just it's the wrong state. chanley, you can help us. >> reporter: good morning. president-elect trump's transition team already vetting potential candidates. a source to fox digital confirming representative mike rogers who serves as the chairman of the armed services committee has been contacted by trump's team for the secretary of defense position. other potential candidates include florida representative mike waltz and former secretary of state mike pompeo, but florida senator marco rubio and tennessee senator bill hagerty are likely contenders for secretary of state. while north dakota golf doug burgum is reportedly being considered for head of the department of energy. >> the talent that is showing up, what's very different than 2016 when president trump won, you know, unexpectedly, i mean,

now, you know, every position he has there's 2020 qualified people banging on the door -- 20 the qualified people backing on the door, and i know that rump and his team, fantastic choice with susie wiles with, heir gown to have the pick of the litter. >> reporter: and during the official conversation between the president-elect, trump, and the ukrainian president, volodymyr zelenskyy, elon musk was also on the phone. deails of musk's exact role were not disclosed per axios, though sources reported musk expressed his e intent to continue supporting ukraine through his starlynn satellite network, a service critical to the country's wartime communications. guys? pete: interesting. will: thank you, chanley. we spent the entire time arguing about mike rogers. pete: not arguing -- rachel: you were right, it was mike rogers of alabama. pete: you were right unbeknownst to you. [laughter] will: there it is. pete: that's the right mike

rogers from alabama, the current armed services committee chairman, which would mean he knows a lot about the space. although mike rogers who narrowly, unfortunately, lost his race in michigan also has a background in intel and national security. rachel: hey, guys, the report -- i know we weren't listening as closely as we should have, but i did read it before she got on,. chanley's report, this idea that donald trump already having conversations with zelenskyy along with elon musk. donald trump promised to end war. i think the war, the wars, the stupid wars, the way we've deployed our resources abroad instead of domestically to help americans who are hurting was on the ballot last week. and i just think this is really interesting. that young man vote, i think, has a lot to do with young men if going i don't want to fight in any of these stupid wars. and i've talked to young men who said that was part of their process as they were can deciding who to vote for. will: i think it's interesting medley after donald trump's

election -- immediately after donald trump's election, the world begins to respond. we saw conciliatory notes from a hamas immediately -- pete: crying uncle. will: and then illegal inflation, for example, in new york city, there's already been some changes. mayor eric adams told fox 5 new york as we move towards competitive can contracting for asylum seeker program, we've chosen not to renew the emergency contract for this pilot program once the year term concludes. he's talking about the taxpayer-funded prepaid debit cards program for illegal immigrants here in new york city. pete: everything's changed. rachel: which angered so many people. they're like, what? i saw it for myself. i spoke to migrants outside. we're going to get to that. but i thought this was interesting in "the new york post," trump calling eric adams saying he wants to rebuild the city. is a rot of people who were. do -- a lot of people who were run out of the city, charged with crimes that were specious right down the street in manhattan might say, screw that

city. but he's like, no, i love this city, and i want to help you rebuild new york city. pete: for sure. i think when it comes to immigration, and you talked about foreign wars, i think you'll see from multiple cabinet secretaries a renewed focus with their agencies on the southern border, that the invasion is right here of our homeland, and that needs to be taken care of front and center, for sure. rachel: and people mad if we were defending borders in ukraine and not our own. i, by way, told you guys a couple weeks ago i went out and spoke to illegal migrants and got some of their reactions to different things that are happening. i asked one of them about tren de aragua and what he had been seeing. listen to this clip, it's fascination nateing. he's got -- fascinating. he's got a lot of advice for america. [speaking spanish]

>> [speaking spanish] [speaking spanish] rachel: i wish this clip had gone a little longer. i said the him, is america turning into venezuela? yep. he also went on to tell me, listen, why aren't you guys vetting people before they enter the country? it's too late if you vet them after. this is an illegal immigrant

who's saying why are you giving benefits to gang members who have taken over the hotels that we're staying in? this was a fascinating interview of sort of the common sense of hose when came across here illegally. our own leaders don't have. pete: andvoters agree. remain in mexico, can coming back. building the wall, coming back. a maas deportation, coming the a town near you starting with criminals and gang members. so society isers here have, thanks to you, the great work you've done talking about that, voters are way more well informed about the threat of our southern border. will: meanwhile, the harris campaign is over, but there are still some bills left to be paid. the campaign of harris-walz raised over $1 billion, but somehow despite, i believe, having $160 billion still in the bank on october 20th ends the campaign $20 million in debt. how did they spend that money? there's a lot of different ways you go about spending a billion dollars. but the one that stuck the out

to me, guys, is, you know, of course, she did the interview with the call her daddy podcast. pete: uh-huh. will: this was a podcast that stopped and started several times in terms of schedule, then delay, then schedule. ultimately, it ended up happening, i think, in washington, d.c. concern. rachel: yeah. at a hotel in washington d.c. will: so they had to recreate the call her daddy campaign -- which the campaign recreated the set, $100,000. rachel: because kamala didn't want the go to l.a. she didn't want to to go there, he want -- we want it in line with the inauthenticity of the campaign, let's make it look like i went to to l.a. it'll cost $100,000 -- will: when i saw this, i'm, like, well, the show pays for their own recreation of their own set, right? like, we would do that. if i went somewhere, for example, to interview the rock, when i did that, who do you think paid for the cameras?

you know what i mean? not the rock. he didn't pay for the set. kamala harris paid for the -- i don't know. rachel: it's other people's money. it's donors' money -- pete: you've got a billion dollars. will: 100 garage. why kid it cost so much? rachel: that's true, it looks like it came from ikea. [laughter] that's what they do with your tax dollar, by the way. they spend it stupidly. they send it to zelenskyy, buy all kinds of stupid stuff -- pat: pete: because they've never signed the front of a check and had to manage it. she had these billion dollars come in. by the way, what did they get out of that $1000,000? a million views. look at what trump and got on joe rogan and others -- rachel: 40, 500 million views. will: can i just say, peeve. peter: if, there's a lot of conversation today about podcasts versus tv. i actually think a lot of that's misplaced, and i think it's important to point out, call her

daddy's a huge pod podcast. it's up there with rogan levels, just to be clear, on it audience. it's not just like go on a podcast and win the presidency. that's not what the takeaway should be from this. what podcasts do is give you an opportunity to show a different side of yourself, a fuller version of your personality. you better have something good to show. rachel: yeah. will: it doesn't matter if you're no good, whatever platform you go on. rachel: yeah. and i think that's ooh why she only did one. will: it suited trump because he's fun ifny, and he's got a good personality the share. whoever's the future president, don't just go on probegan. you better get on will and actually be good. rachel: likable. will: likable. rachel: interesting. that's why she only did one. and this happened late in the campaign. she didn't want to go -- she didn't want to do it. i think the people around her didn't want to do it, but there was so much pressure because donald trump was making great

strides with alternative media, and they felt the pressure to do this. what they did do, you guys, is rely on their old bag of tricks which is bring out, roll out the celebrities and get some concerts going because, boy, undecide dod voters love free concert ises. so they spent $20 to million. and so these celebrities donated their time, but their sets, apparently, are very expensive. and so they had jon bon jovi, christina aguilera. you know what they didn't get? beyonce. she tricked -- the whole audience was mat. if you had $20 the million and beyonceen on there, maybe -- pete: i mean, that's a good, that's a good lineup of artists even without beyonce. if they had to cancel alanis alanis morissette because she cost too much. that does happen when campaigns run through the finish line. you've got to find donors or other, but there are reports

that staff members of the harris campaign worried they'll ever get paid. rachel: right. pete: they're shaming phone calls, don't talk to reporters. it's an absolute mess. rachel: why don't these celebrity thes, why don't these guys pay the money to the staffers who aren't going to get paid. pete: you know that's not going to the happen. rachel: come on, jon bon jovi -- will: it's crazy how america does not care. it doesn't matter anymore. rachel: all right. turning now to your headlines, a chinese national accused of trying to trespass at mar-a-lago several times has been arrested for trying to sneak on to property again. he was arraigned in federal court in florida on thursday. a robot dog seen patrolling the premises of trump's florida estate as the secret service increases security in the area. did you guys know we had robots for security? pete: no. does it have a machine gun?

a camera? if. rachel: toyota that is saying california's electric vehicle mandates that start next year, they're just impossible to meet. the company's warning if they are not changed, it will lead to less customer choice in many states. california's mandates call for 35% of 202026 car models to be emissions-free. that's what the central-controlled government wants. [laughter] multiple states that have adopted these goals have fallen short. an air force staff sergeant caught on camera buying cookies from an alabama boy who was raising money for his sister who's also in the air force and wants to open a bakery. the patriotic moment quickly went viral leading to more than $1400 in donations. boy, i hope they get more than that by us putting this up there. watch. >> the number of people that have donated is just so crazy. thank you so much.

because it just really restored my faith in humanity. rachel: later, the woman who filled the viral video took to -- filmed the viral video took to social media to thank everyone or who donated. >> [inaudible] >> i'm sorry. oh, my god, it's been such -- [inaudible] [laughter] [inaudible conversations] rachel: she said the sister also a thankful for those donations. so someone trading, wants to trade in their guns for cookies and become a baker. is that what -- pete: we've got to get a little mores information on that story. but it sounds like a lot of heart warming-ness. good for that airman. speaking of a good time, join us for the sixth annual fox nation patriot awards on december 5th. will's shaking his head. you know why? will: getting you pumped up.

lindy lee joining us now. we appreciate you being here. this is sort of an after-analysis here of what happened with the campaign. but, first, talk to me about what's going on. you see here nancy pelosi making the case to sort of blame joe biden. but it's a backhanded compliment because she's blaming joe biden for allowing kamala harris to be the nominee. >> right. will, thank you so much for having me. and what's left unsaid is that she is not forcefully saying harris would have been the strongest candidate after a vigorous process. she's not saying defin iftively that it would have been her. she said it might have been her, but babe there was an alternative. maybe it was josh shapiro or gretchen whitmer, someone who can lit date the candidate -- can litigate the case against donald trump. and if they truly believe he's an existential threat, you should have had that process instead of just coronating somebody. will: what has been the relationship throughout the campaign, and what do you think the relationship ised today between biden world and kamala

harris world? >> well, i have friends, i mean, in both worlds. let me tell you, the relationship was terrible even before the campaign. there was back stabbing. they wanted to hand her the most, you know, least favorable agenda, or you know? the legislative priorities, she was stuck with immigration, civil rights, none of that -- will: before she was even a candidate, as vice president. >> exactly. there was a lock of back stabbing in the press, people were leaking things, the white house leaking like a sieve when it came to kamala harris. and finally in the final year she was able to stabilize and stop the bleeding of her staff. there was a lot of turnover as well, and we saw the press reports about that. things had started to come dawn concern calm down, and i actually think president biden, the whole endorsing her 30 minutes after he dropped out, i think that was a big, if you to the party. if you to don't want me or here's somebody you may not like, deal with it. will: suggesting he's sticking

it to the party -- will: you worked for kamala harris. >> i didn't ors i'm a donor. i'm not behold. en to anyone. i'm telling the truth. i'm not here to gaslight anybody, this is just the truth. will: what is the truth? >> the truth is this is just an end epic disaster, a $1 billion disaster. actually, it was $1,000,0018,000 i told friends it was a margin of error race. i was promised, jen o'malley dillon promised all of us that harris would win. she put videos out saying harris would win. i believed her, my donors believed her, so they wrote massive checks. i feel like a lot of us were misled and even on election night, will, i looked somebody in the eye and said, are we going to do this, are we going to pull it off. she told me, yes. i asked somebody else, how are

are you feeling, we're going to win iowa. what? will: did they believe this going in? was this a real sense of false confidence on the side of kamala harris, or did they know they were in store for disaster? >> you know, i was wondering about that. i asked them, are you privy to internal numbers that i am not seeing? because i've studied this so carefully. i just wasn't seeing any basis for that level offed -- of confidence. and i want to remind your viewers that the trump campaign was touting all of this incredible empirical data. what harris was touting was the door knocking. she didn't say anything really about early voting. now i know it's because there was nothing much to say. will: i asked you what the relationship was between biden world and kamala harris world, and you told me it was bad predating the campaign. where does obama world fit in the? you know, there's -- i don't want to break the democratic party into these, you know, three fiefdoms because there's probably more. nancy pelosi is a huge power

player, but barack obama, the obama world, is a huge player. how do they fit in the tension or the happiness of democrats? somewhere that's a really good question. i want to point out they waited three days, michelle and barack obama waited three days to endorse kamala harris. it was the silence heard around the world. and prior to biden's endorsement that no one really anticipated, they were vetting people like mark kelly, kamala harris wasn't at the top of the ticket. so biden's inses doerment of harris -- endorsement of harris caught a lot of people off guard. i really think it was a big f-you -- i'm so sorry. will: i think i'm getting a vivid picture -- >> i didn't finish the word. will: really interesting insight, lindy. thank you so much for being with us. lindy li. all right ors prosecute jailhouse to the statehouse, one woman's journey to politics after being locked up for defying covid lockdowns.

those covid tyrants, i i said we've got to have this lady on. so first, congratulations. remind our viewers what happened to you because i hi so many of us want to forget about covid, but we can't. and i think that's why you were elected. >> well, in 2020 i owned a salon. i actually still own the salon. but we shut down for about a month during covid, and then after about a month my hairstylists were calling me saying i can't feed my kids,, you know, what to do. so we just made the decision to open back up, and i ended up in jail. rachel: amazing. so when did you decide that, you know, what i have to do is not just be a small business owner, but i've got to run for office? >> well, i mean, it just put me many check, honestly. i wasn't super political before any of this, but i'm like, you know, somebody has to do something about this. and so we ran for our first office shortly after that. rachel: yeah. and you won with 80% of the vote, a resounding victory. it should be so edifying for

you. let's look back on what happened. i remember some people that kid do get their haircut. nancy pelosi went and got her hair cut, mayor lightfoot if could get her hair cut, so all these elites who were imposing rules on women like me who also wanted their hair colored during covid and couldn't figure out why we couldn't go there and do it, and as you mentioned, so many of your employees were hurt by it. talk to me about that moment and what your, for example, your employees have thought about this and this journey. >> well, what's actually pretty ironic is even in my mug shot, my roots are, like, 22 inches long -- [laughter] because i was not getting my hair done. it's funny when all of these other people had their fresh highlights or even some of the men, their fresh colors on their hair when us normal people didn't -- you weren't able to do anything. rachel: yeah. >> but it was more about essential versus nonessential, picking winners and losers, and,

you know, you could -- the dog groomer next door to us was wild open -- wide open, deemed essential. rachel: amazing. a dog could get groomed but not a woman during covid. it just highlights all the craziness. i think, shelley, that covid was on the ballot. i know there wasn't a lot of polling around it, but i think we've all had ptsd from what they did to us, from what our government could do. i think it was young people at their proms canceled and their graduations canceled. my daughter was nearly thrown out of her university because she refused to take the vaccine. so many people experienced things they never thought would happen in america. what's your platform? you're about to go in. what are you going to be fighting for? >> well, of course the republican priorities are number one. in texas we've had a little bit of silliness going on as far as, you know, exactly what the republican party wants and if what the house actually gets accomplished. ed finish concern and so that

was my platform going in. we had an impeachment of our attorney general that was just ridiculous, and the biggest story is i had a brain aneurysm a month and a half ago and almost died. and so for me to walk out of that being in the icu for almost 30 days, the recovery from that and then putting my name in to run one more time, it was huge. but i knew it was my time. rachel: wow with. you really are a fighter. [laughter] you really are a fighter. listen, i think what our founders wanted was for citizens to the rise up and serve as you have, and i think that, clearly, a lot of business owners, a lot of citizens relate to you and admire your fight and need you in there to protect our constitutional rights so something like the covid tyranny that we experienced never, ever happens again. shelley luther, congratulations. >> thank you so much. rachel: what a great story.

♪ ♪ pete: the whole election cycle, you saw it, donald trump going on podcasts popular with men, attending college football games and campaigning with influencers, giving him an edge with young male voters. according to our fox news voter analysis, trump won with men ages 18-44 after they broke for biden in 2020. turning point usa founder charlie kirsch joins us now. charlie -- kirk. thanks for being here. it's one thing for a candidate to appeal to young men, it's another thing to make sure those young men vote. and i think one of the underlying stories of this election are the efforts of turning point usa. share with us why you think young member turned out -- men turned out for donald trump. >> well, first, credit to president trump for going to the a constituency that should be voting more republican but wasn't many previous cycles.

president trump was unafraid to do the long-form podcasting. if you cannot sit down for three hours uninterpreted -- uninterrupted with no notes, people are not going to vote for you with under 40. has that is the standard. gone are the days of the script die -- dialogues for 10 minutes. voters want depth and understanding of the issues. i kid 25 the campus stops this last semester, and i saw something happening both with men if women. it's important to note that young women voted 11 points more for donald trump versus 2020 according to an finishes bc exit poll analysis. that is amazing considering we were told kamala harris was going to have record margins with young women and young voters. it's really remarkable, pete. we've seen the younger generation has voted the most republican and conservative since 2004. young men are the most conservative they've been in nearly 50 years, and president trump deserves enormous credit for having the withwith all and

the courage to go into communities that otherwise would not traditionally support republicans. pete: in cut. we're showing images and videos -- no doubt. a lot of us had feared for a long time, hey, because of our education system, because of our ledges -- colleges and universities, we're going to lose generations of young men and women to leftism. why are they rejecting that and turning towards trump? >> there's many reasons. we cannot underestimate how this generation was damaged during covid. they had prom, graduation, so many friends taken from them. their whole life was uprooted for a disproportionate response towards the younger generation. they saw on top of that all the excesses of the woke agenda during the summer of 2020, and now hey looking to rebel against that. they say, wait a second, we weren't told the truth about social distancing or the closing of schools, about how the virus was going to impact us and the younger generation, and they were starting to fight back. and president trump also offered a promise to them. you see, the younger generation or the first generation since

george washington to have it worse off than their parents, heir the most depressed, anxious, least likely to own homes, get married, have kids, and they want a future. president trump said, you know what? kamala harris, the democrats broke it, i will fix it because country was stable just four years ago. enough younger voters were able to hear that message thanks to the work of him going on podcasts and what we did on campuses, social media. i believe it was one of the decisive elements that made donald trump the soon to be 47th president of the united states. charles: pete: you've been working on young people trying to remind them where hair rights and freedoms are coming from. is this a trump vote or is this a young people becoming conservative? is this something that translates to future candidates, or is it just donald trump's unique? >> oh, it absolutely translates the future candidates. and that's what's so amazing. president trump is the culmination of philosophical and

world view shift, a realignment, if you will. young people increasingly do not want the sad and depressing and heavy world view that we see on the left. instead they want the country that their parents were always talking about. and another important element is gen-z is largely the kids of gen-x, and gen-x was the most republican generation that we saw. so gen-x and gen-z are kind of married to each other where millennials and boomers are married to each other -- not married, but coupled with each other. so as gen-x and gen-z become more conservative, that is a profoundly more republican country and a mandate to advance freedom and liberty. bad if news for the democrats. pete: it's really important. the history of 2024 election, when it's written, you and turning point will have a big chapter. charlie, or thank you for joining us. >> thank you. pete: got it, brother. tossing it over to will cain, studying that segment very closely. will: all right, thank you, pete. seattle police arresting a

suspected attacker after 10 people were stabbedded within 22 days in seattle. five people stabbed in the city's chinatown neighborhood yesterday leaving 2 in critical condition. police also believe he's responsible for 4 stabbings thursday. seattle police continue to investigate. mayor-elect of san francisco is promising to take action on on day one to fight the fentanyl crisis. daniel leery says he'll declare a state of emergency to address the city's drug problem. >> we're going to work work with state, federal and city law enforcement to make sure that we close these open-air drug markets. will: over 3,000 people in san francisco have reportedly died from fentanyl overdoses since 20020. to a fox weather alert, a major november snowstorm blanketing the rockies, dumping roughly a foot of snow along the interstate 25 the corridor in colorado and new mexico. colorado's transportation department warns some roads may

be closed through the weekend. >> overall, more than 5 million americans are under winter weather alerts. and those are your headlines. let's turn now to chief meteorologist rick reichmuth for our weather forecast. rick: some spots about three and a half peat of snow in new mexico and colorado, one of the biggest snowstorms in about 20 years. east coast cannot get any rain. this is september 3rd, and this is the drought. look at this across the northeast, no drought going on. one spot along the ohio valley that's got drought. now fast forward and take a look at this change. we've had incredible drought that has expanded across parts of the northeast, fires that have happened and look at this. down across parts of new jersey, this is the first time in 22 years that we have had extreme drought many that area. and i will tell you, there are no signs of this overall weather pattern breaking down. we might get a little rain tomorrow, but it's the not going to bust this drought. what's happening is this high pressure's protecting the east coast, not letting any of these

storms move in that direction. anded the today it's really stuck here, and we're going to get some training storms, rain that falls over the same area over and over again across parts of southern louisiana. that's a level 4 out of 4 flash flood threat. if you're anywhere near there, you're going to be 2-3 inches of rain in an hour, and that could cause life-threatening flooding. part of that is moisture from what was hurricane rafael, now it's a tropical storm. this system out here in the gulf, it is going to slowly move towards the south. we're not looking at direct landfall. at one point it was a category three storm. some of the moisture across some of that area, and that's causing rainfall rates to be higher. that snow tomorrow will was talking about, we've got another day of this snow to go but for the most part, those winter storm warnings across parts of central and northern colorado and some areas in the higher elevations, maybe another 5-8 inches by the time this is done do, but it is almost over which

is good news for the people digging out. also it's great for all of the ski resorts and all of that business across the southwest. -- west. will: thank you, rick. you know how rachel has an ongoing list of important stories? what is it, pete? pete: a lot. will: we've got a new one. it's the plight of 43 monkeys is still on the loose in south carolina. [laughter] we're talking to the guy who caught this viral video if saw the whole jailbreak go down. ♪ but even with nothing on that the i -- bet i made you look ♪ ♪

♪ rachel: 43 monkeys are still on the loose after escaping a south carolina lab when a worker left a door unsecured on wednesday. pete: our next guest is a land surveyor who was on his lunch break when he watched the monkeys escape and took this video. will: daniel vance joins us now. daniel, great to have you on the program. so let's talk about what you thought you might be seeing when you broke out the phone or whatever you were videoing there. i mean, was it one of these moments like, are those, is that, is that monkey something is what did you -- what is your first reaction when you saw this going down? >> yeah.

surprise and shock would accurately describe that. i initially thought it might be a raccoon or something. i saw these trees kind of -- the branches were swaying unusually. as i got closer, no, that's a monkey. and then i saw dozens of monkeys coming out in a line, running down that tree and along the ground. i should point out that i like to go by d.j. vance given the vice president's meteoric rise, i'm thinking about writing book. [laughter] rachel: when you saw the monkeys, d.j -- is that what you want to be called? did you immediately connect these were escapees from the lab that was probably not being nice to them? >> i did only because as a surveyor, we had den some title searches -- done some title searches of the surrounding area, and i knew there was a

facility there. so it might have been a little less of a shock to me than it would be for the average citizen. but it was still remarkable. you know, i wish i'd gotten out quicker and taken the video when they were up in the tree. it might have been more dramatic. pete: here's an update from the police department on what's occurred. they said alpha genesis, that's the location, management and staff are currently on site feeding and monitoring the primates at the principler if of the -- perimeter of the facility's fence. the animals are engaging with their companions inside. efforts to attract the primates with food have resulted in several of them returning to the property although they have jumped back to the outside fence, this is still a very positive development. we should say these were young monkeys, we're told, and too to young to carry decides and too -- can diseases and the too young for testing. so is there concern about the loose monkeys in the area? >> i believe there probably is. maybe i'm too credulous, i like

to the think alpha genesis is telling the truth, but even if they weren't, even these started dawn of planet of the apes or something, what else are they going to say? would they say these all have the black death and they're viciousesome. [laughter] rachel: this is where --th. pete: healthy skepticism. rachel: we're more skeptical than ever of the official reports in this post-covid -- the. will: that statement confuses me as well. they got a few of them back in, but they got out again? maybe we need to shut some gates or put some ceilings on the fencing area. this doesn't sound like a tight security system. rachel: maybe we should stop experimenting on animals. just a thought. will: there you go. [laughter] there's that too. rachel: d.j. vance, any thoughts on on that? will: we've got to go. see the clock? [laughter] >> fair enough. will: not to stop the animal -- rachel: go ahead. give an answer. will: okay, d.j.. >> well, no one's an enthusiastic supporter of animal

testing. i actually got criticized on social media a little bit with because i called it in. there's an apartment complex 5000 feet from that facility. i think, you know, if your kid lived in that complex and there were possibly diseased monkeys out, you would want to know. will: right. pete: very fair point. rachel: i might vote for this -- pete: people know the monkeys are loose. ray i might vote for this guy, he's very common sense. pete: d.j. vance. will: more "fox & friends" still ahead. ♪ here's why you should switch fo to duckduckgo on all your devie duckduckgo comes with a built-n engine, like google, but it's r and doesn't spy on your searchs and duckduckgo lets you browsel but it blocks cookies
