♪♪ america, football is back in the spring, we will talk about it all morning long. keep emailing us. those are original photos. something that gathers attention, and the stallions uniforms, the star for the cowboys individually. rachel: stop pretending you're looking at merrill's uniform. it is not gimmicky but you can go for three after a touchdown from the 10 yard line, a simulated kick from the 33rd, the 33 and the clock stops. interesting new rules, and we can check it out. rachel: you know what i learned from this segment? abby and i -- have a series of applause. and gave us one. >> it is not sports, we have record-breaking numbers for you this morning. how about this number? it is from march. border encounters, 221,303 from the previous month, breaking the previous record from july 2021, certainly not a number to be proud of. tom homan was talking about all the contributing factors leading to this historic moment. >> the biden administration has been 14 or 15 months, nothing. they have done nothing to secure the border. everything they have done is how quickly can we process this? they are looking at $900 million to build facilities so they can process quicker and when you process and release quicker, your point about inhumane policies, they say the trump policies are inhumane. more migrants have died under the first year of president biden on us soil than any year i can remember, a record number. over 100,000 americans have died until fentanyl comes across the border. his policies are inhumane and killing people. rachel: the most important thing he said. it was amazing and he is so right because the one thing they could hinge their policy on, they wouldn't be sending people in the middle of the night and updating us how they are taking them, they know we hate this but they have been able to say we are so compassionate and look at these numbers, more migrants dead under the biden administration than under trump. that doesn't count the americans dead of fentanyl and the child trafficking, all the people who may be died in border communities because healthcare facilities are overwhelmed. we don't even know, we know the american people hate it, but weber went to new jersey. pete: they are resuming the after dark might midnight flights into new york city, that is just new york city and this is happening metro areas across the country in the middle of the night, facilitated, effectively disappearing. of third bus also arrived from texas in washington dc, greg abbott making the point this doesn't just affect our backyard, right there near the capital it dropped off, seeing what happening in the dark elsewhere. the number that you read, the huge number of 221,000, record-breaking number. if you look 2 years back it was 34,000, it was 34,000, it is 221,000, it shot up to one hundred 70,000 last march, this is a policy of not having a policy. that is their policy of facilitation and we are hearing new mexico's paying college tuition and they are using covid funds. rachel: in your money is being used for college tuition for people who come here and i was at a party with her new jersey mom, they said -- it was -- i go to those now. they said the class sizes keep getting bigger and bigger and not just kids from central america but all over the world. that means your american kid is going to get less attention, less help in the classroom, don't think because you don't live in texas or arizona or new mexico that this isn't affecting you, they are shipping lines of problems. pete: this record number of 200,000 predates the potential repeal of title 42. it will go into effect later this month. what are the projections for what would be new record-breaking numbers under those conditions. we've seen incredible numbers of illegal immigrants flooding across the american border once that minimal protection is taken out of the way. i don't want to brush past this, then you factor in the incentives that await underside of the border, mind blowing concept from the state of new mexico that they will use covid funds to pay for college tuition for illegal immigrants. let's put it in the simple terms, we are getting exactly what we are asking for. >> we need another covid relief bill? what is a slush fund, anytime they can't ask for more money it is a sham. breaking another record, when title 42 ends over 300,000 in fees are border encounters that don't include got aways, people we are not catching. presumably they want to be caught. how many tens of hundreds of thousands, they want to disappear. the ones we are encountering also disappear because they don't come back. when you had those numbers up they have to go somewhere. they have to get resources somewhere, how many teachers do you have, not just mexico and south america but languages and backgrounds introduced in the shadows because we are allowing it to happen. rachel: in your state of texas, based on what we are seeing, by the end of the biden term, we will have more population than the state of texas, that's astounding and you understand what they are doing, i used to think -- it is really just this globalist open borders concept that national borders don't matter and -- pete: who are we to think we are something special and need to the doors open. rachel: those ngos are lobbying the administration for more money. pete: they go to things like far left think tanks, they speak an open honest terms when they say we support the concept of open borders. will: let's go halfway around the world to ukraine, russia is going to increase missile strikes on the capital city of kyiv and formally warning the us of, quote, unpredictable consequences if they keep sending military aid to ukraine. >> reporter: the heightened sensible are columns as russia is believed to be real grouping in the east and the surrounding region, repealing the unspeakable war crime in russia's path of destruction, the bodies of one thousand people have been discovered surrounding ukraine's capital and many of those people shot execution style according to police and in the pommel southern port city of mariupol russian bodies -- they were hiding evidence of their war crimes and indiana republican congresswoman victoria sparks was born in the ukraine. she toward kyiv and her grandmother's native home and described people hiding for their life. >> they shot people, people in the middle of the room, they showed me the pictures, people dying every day, genocide of the people. people are so strong. >> reporter: the threat of missile strikes is very real. a couple hours ago we were alive with air raid sirens went off and turned out to be legitimate according to lviv regional administration, four russian cruise missiles were intercepted in this region which is on the western side, so this is spread all across ukraine. back to you in new york. pete: 3 deputy shot in kansas responding to reports of serious or suspicious vehicle yesterday. when deputies approached the car they opened fire. officials returned fire and the driver was killed. all three deputies who are shot are expected to recover. intense clashes breakdown in shanghai, locals scuffling with police in hazmat suits as authorities 439 residents out of their homes. their apartments could be turned into covert isolation facilities.

poison pill defense limiting the billionaire from buying 50% of twitter shares but the world's richest man isn't going down without a fight, bringing in partners in his own bid to own the platform. here to react is fox news correspondent griff jenkins. a previous life, previous outburst. what is the poison pill and will it prevent elon musk? rachel: it will be much harder for elon musk to buy twitter. what a poison pill does is it is a corporate tool, temporary tactic for the twitter board to take on that expires next year that only kicks in if someone like elon musk buys 50% of the company and once somebody does the other shareholders can buy twitter stock at a discounted price and that reduces elon musk's ownership, it will be a more expensive for him. that i explained that clearly? because it dilutes everybody else, reduces the value of stock for other shareholders, and they rebound monday and there are concerns, the twitter board is not owning up to their fiduciary responsibility, to act in the best interests of the company and to the shareholders so a guy giving you a 50% premium to what you are worth before he started buying stock and you are not taking him seriously and have no other bidders right now, there are concerns that the board is not doing its responsibility. pete: they want to maintain their grip on what they believe twitter should be. what would it mean for elon musk? rachel: other twitter holders to pull together their earnings, there are private equity groups that have been floated, silverlake, a twitter shareholder and larry ellison, one of the richest men on the planet, he has known elon musk for a long time. will: wouldn't those people have to be at some level aligned with what musk wants to do but he's got to build a coalition of 3 speakers. rachel: 350 billion, a lot of tied up in tesla, you have a lot of influence and sway. you can call private equity firms he has worked with in the past and i am sure he could bring together a coalition of investors to say let's take twitter private and maybe jack dorsey, one of the founders of twitter is on board with taking twitter private. if you are an ad based model you have

takes a while to build up, record relief from the petroleum reserves and allowing ethanol blends for the summer driving season. i think the administration is trying all they can to get oil prices down. will: they declared war on oil and gas and are trying to throw the crumbs out and the latest used to get leases on public land. thanks for breaking it down. to lead, football is back like you

devastated, texas agents found a 4-year-old boy among a group of suspected illegal immigrants trying to smuggle marijuana into the us. ken cuccinelli joins us now. it is a sad story to talk about a 4-year-old found among smugglers. wise the happening? >> it is a sad story but this happens all the time. the roots the cartels use and remember who manages the border, the federal government of the united states, the drug cartels of mexico, the some of the most evil vicious people in the western hemisphere and their human smuggling operation through the same channels as their drug smuggling operations and they direct the flows to distract and move the border patrol around using people to avoid getting their high-value crossings caught and to put as many of them over the border as possible, there are estimates the drug cartels are making more money from human smuggling than drug smuggling and no one, federal government or state including texas is doing anything to stop that flow. will: let's discuss texas, governor greg abbott embarked on a campaign to send illegal immigrants to washington dc. a third bus has arrived in washington dc to essentially lay the problem at the feet of the federal government. what do you think of this program? >> it is the last leg in the human smuggling chain, the recent articles about renewing charter flights around the country of illegals farther in and now texas is doing it. i understand why you want to drop them in the steps of the capital but these are voluntary trips, they want to take the trip. governor abbott is paying to boston 26 hours on a trip they want to take. instead of bussing them to miles back across the mexican border which is what he should be doing and until he does that, that may be clear about this, and he does have the authority to remove people from mexico to mexico, the illegal flow will not go down. for all the signing with mexican state governors who don't have any authority to stop immigration across the border it is all a show and you will see next month when the numbers come out before title 42 is taken down on may 23rd it has no effect on the flow of illegal immigration. pete: i can hear you are laying blame not just at the feet of the federal government but on the governor of texas, greg abbott, you are saying this is all political theater. i have had on "fox and friends" last weekend ken paxton and lieutenant governor dan patrick on the program and i asked them about your accusation before it was made that this is political theater and both of their response is the point is to force a constitutional confrontation, to force the federal government to confront the fact they are not enforcing our immigration laws soar texas or someone must. what they are saying and i want to get your response, this is supposed to support force it to the supreme court on who can enforce illegal immigration. >> ken paxton and dan patrick know how to do that. isn't bussing people to washington. it is by the governor as commander-in-chief of texas forces, every governor is the commander-in-chief of their own states forces stopping the invasion, greg abbott calling it an invasion and i don't think many people would dispute that is what is going on and repelling that under article 1 section 10 of the constitution. if you want to provoke a constitutional crisis maybe you should use your constitutional authority to do it instead of a bunch of press gimmicks. not just governor abbott, we are talking about texas, but governor doocy in arizona and his attorney general has found he has the legal authority to do this so there's nothing in the way and his state from acting to defend the borders of their state and the united states. pete: you could do the same thing by removing them back to mexico instead of to washington. great conversation, great perspective and perhaps we will hear from politicians in texas in response, thank you for your time. >> have a great easter.

pete: that was. that was good. rachel: if i have a broken nose by the end of the show we will know why. will: we have got it. pete: you know what? as a fan there were some fun things to watch in the communications on the sidelines, coaches, as a commentator they can talk to the coaches. see the coaches talking to the players. they are all micked up and then the rule changes how many times has your team scored a touchdown and down by three and going for two doesn't do anything. they can go for three in addition to going for 1 or 2 more opportunity for points. different onsidekick go for it on fourth down and the clock stops under two minutes for every first down. it's meant to incentivize offense. not in a gimmicky way all the tricks you wish you had. will: you were talking about. so names involved for a sports in the like me who particularly loves things like the professional football draft packs to be lynch first time one pick denver bronchos in the nfl. it's sort of a second chance for some guys who maybe didn't live up to the initial hype maybe on this new field of play they show exactly what maded them so behind up at one time. pete: they don't shy away from that fact. the league is in the spring. it's an ability -- opportunity for players to showcase that maybe they can play in the nfl and mean time get to watch good football. check it out tonight. i know rachel will be watching. will: going to be there. rachel: i will be there. pete: text you at 7:20 tonight rachel refresh your recollection watching the saturday night fox "primetime" line up as usual or are you going to turn it over. rachel: he asked me a football question yesterday thinking he could stump me and i got it right. pete: do you know how many downs there are in football. will: nice, nice. rachel: i'm learning. here is somebody who is also learning how to help america be a more free speech country and that is elon musk who has said that he wants to take over twitter and meanwhile the board of twitter is really kind of showing their cards saying they are going to put a poison pill into this to make sure that elon cannot take it over. will, we were talking earlier during the break and you think this is a very -- the way this is transpiring. the way the board is reacting to elon musk and the fact that they are openly defying their fiduciary responsibility you say is very dangerous for america. will: i think it's very revealing for america. i think this story is more than twitter. if you are watching at home i and we understand really the minuscule role that twitter plays in most americans' every day lives. at least on the surface. but twitter underneath the surface, i do think plays a very large role in shaping the quote, unquote narrative plays out certainly in mainstream media. and even within mainstream politics. this is a story about what you are allowed to see, think, hear, and read. elon musk is a free speech absolutist and that is an absolute threat to those with their fingers and hands around the control levers. and what the story reveals to me, rachel, is the length to which they will go to keep their grip on those control levers. they will go to the length of tanking the company because elon musk is putting an above-market, fair market value on twitter. in other words, they can make money, the shareholders of a private corporation who exist to make money, could profit off of elon's purchase. and they're willing to say no thank you and potentially risk a fiduciary duty shareholder suit in order to maintain their ability to censor. pete: they have made the case time and time again. you also hear other members of the media making the case maintaining of that censorship that's fundamental to what twitter is at this point. and all of the rest of social media. so when he first bought 9% shares. they freaked out. and said o okay, what's it going to look like. they offered a seat on the board. pull him inside. he said i don't want any part of that limit what i have to say and limits my ability to buy more shares in the future. then we weren't quite sure what he would do next. buy more shares on the outside. he makes this offer, which is day significant premium. and the immediate and from i understand in talking to susan live, what unanimous vote of the twitter board said making it more expensive for him but the stock price of twitter is going to go down. just likes a f. he removes his shares from twitter it will go down. they rejected the offer because hough is offering it and what is behind it, which is a belief in free speech. the question is he has hinted at a plan b. what might that plan b-what could it be? we asked susan li, who is a fox business correspondent, just reacting to the idea of what other options might elon musk have if the establishment mob at twitter very very top. >> elon musk, richest man on the planet. worth $250 billion. a lot of that is tied up ins at the that stock and options you have a lot of influence and sway. i imagine he could pick up the phone and call some of these private equity. i'm sure can he bring together a coalition of investors to say let's take twitter private. you also got a hint that maybe jack dorsey, one of the founders on twitter is on side with taking twitter private. he says the problem is when it's public that means and especially if you are an ad base model, right? that means you have to succumb to corporate paying you in order to advertise on the platform. who has the power when they're giving you the money? rachel: yeah. it's so interesting. because the shareholders are one part of this occasion. they are very important part of the equation. what really surprised me how the employees of twitter because i think that's also very revealing. the employees of twitter have been on the side of the board. they don't want this elon musk, entrepreneur free speech absolutist to be in charge that tells you a lot about young america. because, i think in our generation, the idea that we would be having a conversation now about how you set it up so well about what we can and can't think or see just was unfathomable to us in the 1980s and even the early to mid 90's. here we are and we are in this new, you know, radio little on the path to this chinese regime where somebody is controlling the information. pete: it's the safe pace phase of that profession down the road. this is a generation of younger people. especially in elite circles who were told certain sorts of speech violent. we need safe places in order to have those conversations. don't trigger me with things that make me uncomfortable and twitter has totally absorbed that and said, yes, that's our model, if you misgender someone, you are blocked. or you are silenced or you are muted. and that's the cultural of the entire place, which is why elon musk would have to take it private so he could fire who he needs to fire and hire the toot the type of people that value free speech. rachel: end game is china. pete: that's not how twitter would characterize it. rachel: many of these titans of big firms they will say i admire china and 9 way they can control things. that's what they are doing. they are controlling -- i mean, you win if the other side isn't even on the playing field. will: first, you are absolutely right there is a generational divide. something happened between generation x and the millennial generation. i'm not here to say all millennials are in support of censorship. but there is a strong instinct than with generation, to follow generation x to say i would rather security than freedom when it comes to free speech. but i want to really emphasize this we talk about it allot. the idea of the protected interest of an internal system whose major driving force in life is its own survival. was revealed in this bid by elon musk. there is a system within twitter whose primary purpose is certainly not free speech. and certainly not the protection of democracy. and isn't even shareholder value. it isn't greed, and it isn't money. there is something else that is more important. and in order to preserve that something else, they will defy and even kill the company to which they are using to control our thoughts. will: and i'm not overstating this. i want to point one thing out. when elon musk made this bid, one of the first voices to step up and reject the bid was the kingdom of saudi arabia. rachel: exactly. will: kingdom of saudi arabia maintains 5% of the shareholder value of twitter. the kingdom of saudi arabia said no thank you. on the side of protecting contents moderation, the modern euphemism for censorship is the, of course, and i hope this sarcasm comes through free speech loving and true to democracy model of the kingdom of saudi arabia against the threat that is elon musk. the system has been revealed. pete: great point. big business to your point loves big government. they love big government because it's predictable. it gives them a lot of power. free speech is messy. disagreement is messy. that's what our republic has been about from the beginning, corporations like it nice and coddled. rachel: over niece comers huge investment firms are injecting this philosophy and you talked about that with the border as well with open borders. the stockholder capitalism. this idea that, you know, your main job is not to maximize profits. there is this other thing but it is infecting all of our lives that i think is interesting twitter sale is opening it up in a way i think would not have happened. elon musk is an interesting figure. pete: i hope he keeps going and other travelers willing to back him up. when someone makes a move will someone come in behind him? will: five stories with will and pete on yesterday's episode of the will cain podcast. pete: look how happy i am. will: five stories in the news. we talk about fatherhood. we talk about pete's mask that he wears on airplanes. we talk about a lot of things. rachel: is that the one i gave you. pete: no, it's a different one. rachel: i have one. give them out a lot. will: apple or spotify. pete: it was a lot of fun. rachel: can't miss that podcast. will: we are going to be having a deep faith based conversation soon with the two of us if i have my way. pete: i love it. rachel: that's a yes. pete: for sure. all right. we have a few additional headlines as well this morning. 16th overdose in florida after ingesting unknown substance during an high school air force military ball. witnesses say the substance was spiked in glasses of water. the kids started throwing up and rushed to the hospital no foul play is expected. two hospitalized but rest expected to recover. after clashes yesterday at the holiest site of jerusalem. the u.s. department releases a statement this could be a do you sey. ned price saying we call on all sides to exercise restraint rhetoric and preserve the historic status quo of the temple mount. the clashes started after palestinians started throwing rocks at israeli police. about 400 people were arrested. but israeli defense forces have released about 100 of those detained in hopes of lowering tensions. i have been up on that term mount in jerusalem. it is a hot bed. i'm telling you, f. they could the palestinians would kick every just off that holy sight and christian wanting to visit. got to preserve it lebron james reportedly raged to teammates after then rockets houston rockets general manage darryl darrylmorey tweeted support forg kong. james lived about potentially missing out on the revenue from the space jam sequel he was working on at the time. who does he really work for?

don't you just want the best ai research and development? where everyone gets an equal shot? equity means leveling it out by pulling some people down and pulling other people up. and if you are doing that in the department of defense, that means eventually you are going to get people killed. or you are going to be less lethal at what you do as a fighting force. this is -- this started in the obama era. it stopped under trump. now it's on hyper speed as the white house has mandated it wasn't just dodd by the way. dhdoe department of education already awashed in equity. this is dangerous stuff, guys. rachel: this is really transformational of the military and what made the military great. i say as a military brat, my dad entered the military when they were still levels of discrimination in other parts of american society for mexican americans for african-americans military was this place where you could go and do your best and it was a meritocracy. if you were good, you rose in the ranks. my dad was a loyal, faithful hardworking soldier, made it all the way from an airman to, you know, he retired after 32 years as a chief master sergeant. pete, talk to me about what would happen to a unit. you led a unit. if equity in terms of promotion becomes the centerpiece, not just and i'm not just talking about, you know, who gets -- that it's -- can lead to people dying. i get that part just talk to me about the intrapersonal things. pete: i think it's not just in the military it would happen in any context. it's the animosity that builds up. it's the second guesting. did you get that position because you earned it? or you are the best person or because a box-which just an injustice to the person who is perceiving it but also to the person who has that position. and maybe did earn it. and now question whether or not they earned it. especially though in small unit leadership, when you are talking teams and squads of platoons and companies. that intimate relationship is important to earning the trust you need to do things that are not natural, which is charge towards the gunfire. you have got to trust that the best person is there and they have your back for the right reasons, really really dangerous. rachel: china couldn't have done -- this could have been a chinese spot, frankly. honestly, they would have to be really happy at this. will: yeah, well, because to pete's point, it is a marxist, communist ideal is equity. it sounds nice to be on because it sounds like equality. but it truly is equality of outcomes. it is engineering it so that you get mediocrity across the board. this will ensure the united states of america will lose a war. we will lose a war all it takes any company that institutes an equity plan is a rival who prioritizes merit to come crazy. so a rival the equitable one has compromised itself it. it has placed meritocracy below objective. pete: i was a platoon leader at guantanamo bay. i had about half a dozen members of my own platoon who were were not u.s. citizens who joined the military, hispanics because they wanted to fight for the country and it was my job as a platoon leader to put in their application packets to become citizens and it was a joy to do so. these guys were eager to become u.s. citizens and they wanted to earn it. and i didn't have to do it actually. if i had had a guy in a platoon who i thought was not working at it not to do it, i didn't have to. they all were. they were all eager to. it's been that pathway that meritocracy now we are checking boxes. when you are checking boxes you are losing wars. rachel: looked what happened in afghanistan who was the leader there lloyd austin. a lot of people i have talked to don't think he is the best of the best. my goodness at that position we should have the best of the best. pete: pushing it quick. here is a statement the dod action plan on shifting the department's focus. while the department has historically been focused on increasing equity when the dod community. this plan shift in the department's approach and focused better to ensure that we leverage our capabilities to create opportunities for all americans. i don't know what any of that means other than really. rachel: other than we are going to lose to china eventually. i don't think that -- you say it's marxist like the chinese. honestly the chinese are playing to win. and this is a proof that we are not playing to win. we are playing for some weird ideological motives that are under lying. pete: political standdowns of ideology continue radical right wing ideology and the vaccine mandates they have already done huge damage in pushing meat eaters out of the military. rachel: i know a young man who would have been the greatest candidate for to become a navy seal and did not join because he had had covid and didn't want to take -- you have met him. pete: phenomenal. rachel: he would be the most amazing person. i'm not going to take that i have already had covid and i don't want to take that injection. military lost a great person. pete: not to depress you. rachel: i'm sorry. pete: still amazing people they have to stand up and speak out. rachel: waiting for you guys to stand up and speak out. we have intense clashes that broke out in shanghai this weekend. pete: local scuffling with police in hazmat suits as authorities force locals out of their homes. it's like utopian movie so their apartments could be turned into covid isolation facilities for others. will: alexandria hoff live in washington with more. >> we are talking about a city where chinese officials said a few weeks ago that they would not do another lockdown. they will penalize those who spoke about a potential lockdown happening and then they locked down it started in phases in march as a way to combat rising case numbers as part of china's zero covid policy. but now residents in china's largest city who have essentially been taken hostages had have had enough. [shouting] [screams] rachel: there you have hazmat wearing police forces they are clashing with desperate residents pushed to the brink. foot shortages are now plaguing the city. residents who are able to line up for rations. not only has their freedom been taken but homes, too as authorities have been ordering people to surrender their property so they can be turned into quarantine zones. through all of this, the case numbers continue to rise. but, a majority of the residents who have been testing positive are reporting to be asymptomatic. still chinese authorities are standing by the zero covid policy and say that they will not be scaling back these restrictions. rachel, will and pete. rachel: that's a horrible scary story. >> these images dogs and cats in bags. rachel: horrible. will: exposed to covid they sit on street corners bagged up prepared to be taken to god knows where. and that's bets, now you are seeing what's happening to humans, i mean. rachel: separated from their children. will: covid zero. pete: this is the -- will: this the path that australia, immediately to and would be americans were on and who knows where it goes. rachel: there was a portion of americans who were on board with this idea. and thank god many of us stood up and fought back. pete: locked in their homes unable to many cases to go get food when you give up. >> when total control is answer over by the state stuff like this can be the end state that's really really turn now headlines fox news alert. shots are fired at bronx subway station earlier this morning. investigating whether shotsy mired on board one of these planes. police say the injured comes after he is less than a week subway shooting that left 29 people injured. police in california are searching for these two suspects smash and grab robbery. and kay jewelry store inside of a mall, the robbery happening outside of downtown l.a. the suspects large camera to smash the glass displace taken unknown amount of gel richmond suspects escaped using a get away car waiting for them outside the mall. now this. white house secretary jen psaki claims she'll wasn't being, quote, critical after suggesting on a podcast yesterday that our very own peter doocy, who is, by the way, always polite, was a, quote, sob. psaki peter doocy does not write his own questions for press briefing which is not true. full video shows i told full story peter's -- i was not talking about him or any reporters at fox. is he doing my job. i'm doing mine. we disagree, i respect that i'm sorry, i think about always classy kayleigh mcenany and dana perino, those kind of white house press secretaries would never be caught saying this kind of stuff. it was absolutely disgraceful. pete: she was led into the answer by saying well, is he just that or is this network just that and if you are taking the side of grace you don't take the bait. you don't have. to say fell right into it. rachel: peter you picked peter doocy he is so nice and asked so politely. will: one reporter asking a challenging question without peter doocy it would be all ice cream questions, if you don't ask ice cream questions you are an s.o.b. rachel: also he said it so nicely. pete: texts keep pouring in. pushed for years now practiced in the opening the dod stuff this happening happening for years and doing it in the open. >> the cultural movements. >> birmingham. abby?

>> well, 90% of them happen on private lands are, as i'm sure you know, and there are 9,000 unused, approved drilling permits. so ill suggest you ask -- i would suggest you ask the oil companies why they're not using those if there's a desire to drill more. >> reporter: there has been a desire, and that 9,000 number wasn't completely accurate. it was misleading according to the american petroleum institute. a permit means oil companies can explore those sites, it doesn't mean the locations are usabling. but in the hopes of driving down fuel costs, the biden administration is suddenly ready to open up this process again. according to the interior department, 144,000 acres will become available for oil and gas drilling. now, earlier this week democratic senator joe manchin told reporters that it would be foolish for the administration not to consider reopening work on the keystone xl pipeline and has suggested that rebranding it could make it more palatable to democrats. guys? pete: alexandria, thank you very much. yeah, doesn't seem like much of a turn. they're desperately trying to make it look like they're doing something about the energy crisis, but that's not going to get it done. let's move to another topic, elon musk. so on thursday morning we reported that he was putting in a bid to buy twitter and take it private for $43 billion. that's after having already taken almost 10% of twitter shares. is so he's seriously looking at a new direction for twitter, taking it private, getting rid of the censorship, making it a free speech platform. well, he's now talking to private equity investors to partner with him potentially on a new structure for twitter after the board, guys, has adopted what's called a poison pill deend fence meaning if -- defense peening for the next year, if elon musk buys more than 15% of the showers, it triggers an option for other shareholders to buy more shares at a lower price which dilutes the value of what he owns, and they believe it would prevent him from attempting to buy twitter. the vote, guys, on the board? unanimous. they do not elon musk. will: twitter employees and the twitter board are so is terrified of free speech that they're willing to institute a poison pill on the company to avoid elon musk's owner shi. rachel: and hurt their own shareholders in the process. unbelievable. let's bring in the dan bongino to get his reaction. this is a guy -- by the way, dan, welcome. you know a bit about bug tech, and you've been in this world, in this crazy big tech world world with paroller and now with rumble -- can parler and now with rumming bl. tell us what you make of elon and this play and, as will says, very revealing moves by the board. >> well, first, let me just say, abby is an unbelievable athlete -- [laughter] there has never been a greater pass on camera than peter hegseth three years ago in miami, the frozen rope we plaided on unfiltered a few weeks ago, that the cameraman if missedded, missed. that was the best pass on television i've ever seen, so, pete, not acknowledging that -- pete: i love you, brother. rachel: this sounds like, this sounds like those fishermen that a say they caught a big fish and it got away. >> no, it was caught on camera. pete: thank you. >> i saw the evidence. rachel: all right. i trust dan. i trust dan. >> it happened, i'm telling you. i was actually there. listen, here's what's going on here. the board's going to have a real problem with this. poison pills aren't that uncommon with hostile takeovers. hostile obviously means the board doesn't want with it, unsolicited, they didn't seek this out. it wasn't some m&a opportunity, right in elon wants to buy twitter, twitter doesn't want to sell and their board. here's the strange thing though with these poison pills, they're usually instituted because the board believes the hostile takeover's to not going to add value. but here's the kicker, elon musk is offering to pay a substantial premium over what the company's worth on the open market now. my point here is that how the hell is the board, if they're sued here, the board that has a fiduciary financial responsibility to increase the value of shareholders, how are hay going to defend themselves in court against it without a counteroffer? in other words, they're going to go out and say what? we didn't take elon's offer and enrich our shareholders, not on paper, because what? we didn't like elon's libertarian politics? i guys, this is a lawsuit waiting to happen. and one more thing, this poison pill is a double whammy for people who own twitter shares, right? not only is it a mass dilution event, the poise -- poison pill creates a whole pool of new shares. you want to decrease the price of corvettes, create 10 million of them. they're worth nothing. not only is it a mass dilution event, but it could also be a liquidation event if musk sells the 9.2% of the shares he owns now. so you're getting the double-barrel middle finger here. the stock is worth less because he liquidates his shares too. how they're going to defend this is really beyond me. they are opening themselves up to litigation that could last forever. will: yeah. and, dan, i think the translation, to me as i look at it, they're saying open hi and honestly that we're not in this for shareholder value. there are some things more important than market mechanisms and, quite honestly, greed, right? and that thing more important is clearly censorship. >> oh, man, you took the words right out of my mouth. that's exactly -- this is not about market value. you're so correct. this is about a group of left-wing lunatics who have the new public square in twitter. they've seen the power of it with the hunter biden laptop story in the 2020 election, they've seen what twitter can do, 2016 too, they've seen how you can manipulate politics using this beacon, this major world beacon for news, and they're not giving it up. this is their hill to die on. it has nothing to do with shareholder value. just one more thing. showing you how fraudulent the left is and why -- and why i thank the lord i'm not one of these left-wing lewin lunatic -- lunatics. they hate big with finance, big oil, they're now behind the saudi regime as that saudi prince, he's a big chunk holder, he as has a huge chunk of twitter. now they love the saudis after destroying them over the khashoggi thing. the left loves the saudis and blackrock billionaires now who own a chunk of twitter, they're cheering them on for fighting against elon musk. these people don't have a shred of dignity at all on the left. rachel: yeah. you saw the don't say gay bill, the saudis execute people for home sexuality. it's outrageous. really interesting too to see the media. you see elon musk cares about free speech, our own american journalists are on the side of twitter against, you know, free speech. >> how ironic, right? i mean, you have a group of people who are specifically mentioned in our founding documents, our constitution. they literally have a carveout for themselves, freedom of the press, right? and what do they do? they take that opportunity, and they jam it right up the wazoo, wherever the wazoo of america is, that's what they do with it. i always say i will die on that hill for freedom of the press no matter what, but it gives them the freedom to be stupid, but they don't always have to take us up on it. unfortunately, they do. pete: that's the hill that elon musk wants to die on too, free speech. just a bit of a track record of being successful -- will: trying to figure out where the wazoo of america is. [laughter] >> yeah, someone sent me that grey's anatomy -- [laughter] will: names and places it could be. [laughter] pete: i don't know, dan. speaking of that, so maybe that ties in nicely -- [laughter] maybe a little bit unsavory these days getting even more dangerous for individuals. you've heard about the spike in crime across the country ask if people in a lot of these especially big cities, there's no second amendment, it doesn't really exist, so how do you defend yourself with against rampant crime? will and i had a defense expert if on the show. i know you're big into self-defense, combatives, i don't want to fight you and i never will, okay? but will and i on the show decided to get tips, and then we showed them off on each other. we did not know this was going to be shown later -- rachel: they loved this segment so much, dan. they loved this segment. let's let dan decide. >> all right. pete: try aha choke on me, brother. will: oh, boy. pete: so your saying this arm -- >> he's going to bring this her- pete: i'm twisting this. will: bring my elbow -- >> good. pete: ah! >> then i throw my body down like that. how did i know that was going to happen? yeah, yeah. pete: good move. [laughter] rachel: all right. what do you think? pete: there's another one, dan, what do you think? this is will's offensive maneuver. took me off guard, took me down. what do you think? >> okay. will, you know with i love will, but shooting that double leg was horrendous. you don't want to put your head down like that, and the head goes on the side. you want to use the head as a lever point. the held is actually another limb for you. you can use it to move a guy. and that's called the rear naked smoke. you almost had it. don't try this at home, folks, let me say that again, but you have too ca carotids on each side of the neck. it enables you to disable an opponent quickly by basically temporarily interrupted blood flow to the brain, and they lose consciousness in a few seconds. i've been choked out in my life probably close to 20 or 30 times, and it's a very effectivt home unless someone shows you. i'm serious. you will hurt someone. that choke is extremely effective as a self-defense move. by the time you wake up -- they wake up, you're 2, 3 blocks away calling 911. and once the computer shuts down from lack of blood flow, you're going out, brother. there ain't no way to stop it. pete: it's true. will: put my head in between, need to go to the side -- rachel: i don't want to be the criminal. >> and you've got to get behind the knees so he doesn't sprawl. your hands have got to go behind the knees. he could drop to the ground, he's on top and you're in a world of trouble. rachel: i think we should bring dan back, i i think dan needs to come in studio and actually do the lesson -- >> is gavin watching? rachel: and i'm going to wear pants that day -- pete: are you? gavin has said for years if he and i fought, he'd win. >> i don't know, brother, with my current arthritis condition, there's only one man i think can truly take me out, that isal doe rivera.

>> i really have enjoyed birmingham. it's been a long time since i've come down here to work a player out back in the early 2000s. they've done a lot with the city, and it's been a pleasant surprise. and in general, the experience has been awesome to this point. i mean, now we've got to win some games, but just been having a lot of fun, love my players. you know, they're hungry, they want, they want a chance to shine and keep pursuing their dream, and i love my coaching staff, so it's the been, it's been great if to this point. like i said, now you've got to win. >> reporter: speaking of experience, you have a lot of it. you coached big men, kurt warner to their best seasons. what skills are you going to use as a coach to help your quarterbacks achieve success in this league? >> i think coaching is coaching. yes, i've done it for a long time. i spent the last couple years coaching high school which was another great experience. but, you know, i like, i like my quarterbacks, jordan and brady white, they're both really smart guys, and they have ability. so that's always a positive, you know? if you have a quarterback you feel confident with, you can kind of push the envelope, and they can do a lot of things to make maybe a bad play become a good play. >> reporter: well, guys, coach is the youngest coach in the user sfl are, so maybe we have -- usfl, so maybe we have to throw a jersey is on him? get him out there? will: i saw that fist bump, he's pretty proud of that -- pete: player-coach, that's happened in a few leagues. rachel: really? president yeah, especially basketball. abby and todd, thank you very much. coach. will: you called him by his first name and then you corrected yourself. coach is one of those titles, you just never let go of it. once a coach, always a coach. at what level? if i've coached little league -- pete: i think it's high school. rachel: do you want us to call you coach? will: think about it. rachel: okay, i'll tib it -- think about it. the prime minister's approval ratings -- president's approval ratings are slipping and among a demographic that a lot of people didn't think would slip this fast, and that is latinos. i went to texas to see why so many of them are now voting red. take a listen. >> we have the same values. latino values is republican values. >> we agree on everything. >> deep down every hispanic in texas are conservatives. let's go on the open road with a safe stay! now get double best western rewards points on every stay. and with rewards points that never expire, you get free nights fast! book now at bestwestern.com. ♪ will: expanding support for republicans is gaining steam as president biden's approval rating is now at 26% among hispanic voters. rachel: that is the lowest approval number of all demographics. they are more dissatisfied where joe biden -- with joe biden than even white voters, and that's why i traveled down to the lone star state to hear what hispanics had to say about it and why the gop is aligning culturally with their community. we're in plano, texas, trying to get a temperature of the hispanic vote. first of all, how many of you know hispanic families that are hurting right now because of inflation. >> i would say inflation is realtime. we see it, we feel it, and it's something that's going to draw a lot of latinos to the voting booth. hispanics care about being put to work, being able to provide for their families. >> government overreach destroys that idea. we won't be able to reach that american dream that i moved here for at 19. rachel: you've been a private school, public school and home schoolteacher. what concerns you about america's education system? >> just the move and the direction and what we are teaching children. we have to get back to being focused on actual education items. rachel: are you worried about crt in schools? >> absolutely. rachel: the president, secretary mayorkas, kamala harris, they say that the border is not open. is the border open? >> yes. people are flooding our border. that puts a bunch of individuals at risk, at the risk of being at the hands of the cartel. >> oh, my gosh, the kids, they are -- it's not parents sending their kids over here to give them a better life, it's kids being kidnapped and being used by the cartels to get over here. they are the worst type of people. rachel: is the government complicit in the exploitation of children across this border? >> i think it's horrible. i think trump was trying to get a hold on the situation. rachel: do we need a wall? >> i think we do need a wall. rachel: anybody else -- >> absolutely. rachel: does anyone have a theory as to why joe biden reversed trump's border policies which most texans they was working? >> to get more to vote for him. rachel: you think this is a long-term demographic -- >> absolutely. that's the only thing they have. rachel: teen tina, should the president and kamala harris come to the border? >> i'm not sure that would make a difference. one thing i think would is support and i growing support for the bipartisan border solution act. it's time for congress to stop kicking the can down the road. rachel: is illegal immigration cheapening citizenship? >> yes, ma'am. it's not fair for folks like my family, folks that i know that are doing things the right way and then willy-nilly let someone else come in and not do things the right way. it's unfair for all parties involved. >> biden's message is come on over, we'll help you, you'll get some -- we're here for you. you're going to need the government to survive. the end result of that is socialism. rachel: yeah. >> we don't want socialism. a ray how many of you think that crime is going to be a top issue in this election in for his pan ins? >> -- hispanics? >> when you look at how the democrat party is so soft on crime and you have democrat members of congress who are constantly bashing law enforcement and want to completely get rid of i.c.e., when they don't understand that the majority if not most of border patrol agents are hispanic and most hispanic families have someone in their nuclear family that is in the law enforcement career. rachel: if you were advising the republican party, what would you tell them to do? >> go into hispanic communities and educate, do meet and greets, get the word out. we have the same values. latino values is republican values. >> we agree on everything, right? it's just getting that same value to the ballot box and getting them to vote according to their values. >> deep down in their core, every hispanic in texas are conservative. rachel: is the hispanic vote the supervote in this election? >> oh, absolutely. the latino community is the sleeping giant in the world. >> i think we need to understand the latino vote's not something we're going to stop talking about after the midterms or 2024 because the latino vote is so diverse just even on this channel. so we can keep that conversation open, and the republican party having a welcoming message to the hispanic community, not just the mexican community. but understanding that there is a conversation that's wide anded broad, and there are many seats at the table for the conversation. rachel: so the gop if really has to wake up and realize what a golden opportunity they have just by the nature of the pa failure of the biden administration. so it turns out if you take your time the, make sure that it's really expensive to buy groceries, you increase crime and support criminals over victims and you open the southern border, guess what? hispanics aren't that that loyal to democrats. they really want their life to improve. pete: you've been saying for a long time, ahead of the curve, that this kind of development is possible. are you surprise how quickly it's happened? rachel: i am. but i think there's a lot of forces going on. and, again, hispanics don't have the same kind of cultural loyalty to the democrat party that the african-americans have. their approval numbers still even with this economy that's killing the black community, they're still at 60%. hispanics, again, 26%. no one is more dissatisfied with this administration than hispanics. this is a massive wake-up call for the democrats and a huge opportunity for the republicans if he can go out and and just talk to them. because they -- pro-life issues, religious issue, they're all aligned the -- pete: second amendment, you said. rachel: that was one that surprised me. will: underneath a story that has been told about republicans that whether or not you're black or latino, you cannot look at this party because of its racism. but underneath that story, the truth of the issues and the reality on so many different points, second amendment and including illegal immigration, the economy it actually aligns with the values of the gop. rachel: it really does. and that's why i think just welcoming them in, telling your message will be really positive. and, of course, it doesn't hurt that the biden administration's been such a failure. so anyway -- will: great job. rachel: thank you. had a great time in texas. thanks for welcoming me, all of you. go ahead. will: i will.
