against us. as our 308 tish shuns, gavin newsom every car has to be electric dependent on a battery. china knows where we get them from, and it is them. that increases their leverage around the world. will: some of what china is doing needs to be paid attention to. we hope our president of the united states is prepared when he meets with xi xinping. pete: hope is not a strategy. hope. will: rachel, over to you. rachel: boy, that was very informative. making us more dependent on china every single day. thank you, guys. will: thank you. rachel: now to a couple headlines. nike cofounder phil knight lamenting the crime crisis that has taken over the his home town of portland, oregon. watch this. how did we go to the portland of my childhood to the portland of today, and i think the simple answer is leadership. the leadership has led to that terrible situation. it s a state i love. i hate to see what is happening to it. statewide fbi data shows homicide in oregon rose 89% and
something. this is really just, i think, meant to be a shot across the bough of a lot of the critics of the right of the biden regime and effectively saying we have a special unit that we re going to infiltrate you with. we are going to look at you. if anyone says something we find unsavory. if anyone points out the massive failures of the biden regime in the first year, maybe they will be in the crosshairs of the fbi. have a massive chilling effect. kind of like the irs was targeting conservatives under obama in 2012. maybe biden learned a lesson from that the weapons of bureaucracy. it s very real and happening right now. rachel: that looks like child s play compared to here with doing now. i think we are looking a lot more like china every single day. evita, buck, thank you very much. up next, they are turning the monkeys trans. you are not going to believe the latest sick, twisted experiment all paid for by tony fauci s nih.
