award you can give out. joe biden did call it the freedom of medal. or, yes -- [laughter] rachel: i'd expect no less. pete: the freedom of medal. so some of them -- can welsh here's a portion. there's a list of some of the people who received it. you'll recognize some of the faces. al gore, john kerry. elizabeth dole, very respectable. pelosi, but a lot of it is partisan giveaways at this point. rachel: yeah. pete: here's how -- can keep looking, this you go. here's how joe biden described his medal for john kerry at the white house yesterday. >> i've served and worked closely as senator and as vice president, then as president with this guy, john kerry. john kerry. [applause] i was vice president when he was secretary secretary of state and in my administering he led our efforts -- administration, he led as first presidentialen soy

for climate. throughout six decades of service to the nation, john, as a soldier, senator, statesman. rachel: you know, pete, we were talking about this last night, you were hosting on jesse watters, and topic came up, and you kind of focused in on john kerry, nancy pelosi and michael bloomberg who are three people who have tried to take people's freedoms away. pete: yeah. rachel: t really quite ironic through environmental policy. michael bloom are berg, he's actually the president of the board of the c40 cities proposal which wants to limit the amount of clothing you can actually purchase by the year, you know, '40. they want to eliminate vehicles so only rich people like him can fly private, and then he, you know, buys some carbon offset in africa and in exchange for that. they want to eliminate meat. that's the other thing. and so, i mean, then you look at john kerry, he wants to, he's hurting americans. the green new deal policies are

killing american energy, they're killing american jobs, they're making everything more expensive. they're killing the more than dream. so very ironic. will: nancy pelosi who was described by joe biden who was standing in the breach -- [laughter] on january 6th. phil donahue -- pete: oh, really? will: phil done you -- donahue used to have a show where people said things that were interesting and disagreed. you could find some fascinating milton proceed dan debates with phil donahue. rachel: i've seen those. pete: there were reports afterwards that john kerry took his medal and threw it in the river. rachel: really? pete: remember he took his freedom of medal and he canned it in the poe if toe mack -- [laughter] rachel: i forgot about that. he did that after he went wind surfing. pete: well, that's another thin- rachel: isn't that what he does? pete: yeah, welsh he was featured prominently in his 2004 campaign. interesting, he got the 2000

campaign loser and the 2004 campaign loser or in al gore and john kerry. if. rachel: yeah. losers. pete: they were winners yesterday. rachel: freedom of medal a. [laughter] will: rachel, you talked this morning about, you know, as we all should point out what's going on on college campuses across america, it's concerning, but there's been a pushback. we've seen students, fraternity brothers at unc, rutgers -- this morning you spoke to a student, pete. we had video coming out from ole miss if -- rachel: university of chicago. will: university of chicago and here is some of the latest from lsu. watch. >> usa! usa! usa a! usa! usa! usa! usa! will: you see at lsu there's also some patriotism. it's good to see.

it's good to see, you know, how political these guys are largely that are standing up on college campuses, mean, in the -- i don't know, i don't think the protesters know much about the issue, the original protesters. i don't know that we need to say how much do the frat guys -- they're there for america. they understand the essential nature of it, that it's also anti-american. and after a while you're, just like, i'm done with this. i'm pro-america. rachel: or also it's like we're sick of these crazies who are bullies. i remember evita was a to the university of chicago, my daughter, and she got canceled for saying something against socialism, and the whole dorm turned against her. it was funny talking to her this week with as a she was watching what was happening in chicago and seeing the protesters who were harassing anybody that didn't agree with them, and it just brought back all these feelings, just what out -- utter

bullies these left is are. they don't want to coexist like their bumper stickers say. they want you to dow bound -- bow down to them. they want to cancel and make sure you don't get a job if you don't agree with them. they are bullies. and maybe this is as much about a patriotism as it is just going i'm sick of you people. pete: yeah. it's sheer intimidation from the other side. you know, we're wearing the face masks and the covering associated with radical middle east terror organizations. rachel: yes. pete: and hoping other people will cower in the base. ment, and not everybody is. it's not just down south where a lot of it is happening, it's also at rutgers can, the state college in new jersey. here's what protesters, anti-hamas if protesters said. [inaudible conversations] >> free, free palestine! >> usa! [inaudible conversations] >> usa! usa a! usa! will: and earlier, pete, you

spoke to one of those guys at rutgers, the one holding the more than flag you can see in that video, or ben. here's what he had to say. >> it wasn't really coordinated at all. my friends and i sort of just came with the flag more as a just to go. we we didn't really think much of it at the time. i think people really rallied around it, which was, you know with, inspiring to see. but it wasn't coordinated at all. i think, unfortunately, it's a problem sort of as you mentioned across a lot of universities, but university presidents are very hesitant to engage in conflict. that's sort of the way i see it. they want to not take a side, but the action of not taking a side is taking a side. these rallies are fueling anti-semitism across the country, and rutgers standing idly by and basically caving to their demands is rutgers basically enabling that the fuel to the fire. pete: yeah. rutgers is going to get more of this, by the way, because they did cave to the demands. the reason the tents got folded up is not because the president said you're done here, it's because they caved and they're

giving scholarships away to rut9 guesser and allowing palestinia- will: to be honest, it's one of my most fundamental values, and if you don't protect speech that you hate, you're not for free speech. no one needs protection to from protect the speech you love. pete: absolutely right. will: you have to protect speech you hate. we need to point out this has gone well beyond speech, is the point. it's gone into vandalism, hostile takeovers of buildings -- pete: threats of violence and intimidation -- will: vagrancy and loitering -- rachel: and not letting students get to class, not letting them graduate, not letting them take exams. will: these are not in the bonds of free peach. and, by the way, i want to take a minute and say we don't have hate speech in the united states. rachel: i hate that term. will: i do too. pete: i agree. well, that's a term used, it's ubiquitous in the university -- will: that's e the point.

we need to -- you know, republicans did advocate a bill this week the make anti-semitic speech part of not protected speech from title vi and so forth. rachel: i know. will: this is speech that we're talking about i hate. i hate this speech, that's the point. candidate -- it came from republicans. rachel: really, really sad. i didn't like that either. can you explain something to me, pete? i know you've put a lot of thought to it. what is this alliance between islamists and the radical left? it makes no sense. pete: well, it's the red-green alliance, and it's existed for quite some time in our country and around the world, and it's simply an anti-western marriage, that's it. [inaudible conversations] will: we talked about this on the will cain show, the only commonality is a shared hatred of america and the west. pete: that's to it. what do marxests have to do with islamists? absolutely nothing. they fundamentally disagree with each other, but they agree on who they hate. rachel: there's these outshoots, dikes for divestment, and what

part of that does she not understand would not work for her? i don't understand that. and there was a lot of lgbtq offshoots, pro-palestinian, pro-islamist, and i just, i can't imagine that these kids are so ignorant. pete: well, there's a couple of kids that are not ignorant. of they understand who they are, who made them and what gender they are and that that matters in sports. these are middle schoolers, right, will? if. will: yeah. there was three of them that post the tested a transgender track athlete, shot put, and these middle schoolers said, no, not going to do it. they wouldn't compete against the transgender student who went on to win, by the way. the state of west virginia largely had these girls' back, but the fourth circuit federal court has stopped the save our girls movement in west virginia. so these girls were suspended, they were scratched from the next event because they wouldn't participate in this one. here's mckenna earnest, she's

a student the at lincoln middle school and spreen shah. >> shriver on why they refused to compete. >> i chose not to participate because it's the not right for a biological woman to be playing with a biological man. even though that he has different speed -- [inaudible] that's why he throws farther orer than us. >> i just believe that it's not right, like mckenna if said, for a biological male to be competing in a a woman's category because it's sign terrificically proven that men are biologically stronger than women. will: so brave and necessary to stand by those girls. the school board, by the way, because they didn't let them compete in the next event said those students were subject to a team rule that any player who scratched in an event cannot participate in that event at the next track meet. it's a neutral, school-specific rule that was in place before the students' e protest, it has nothing to do with that protest -- pete: i don't buy that. will: the mom says -- the

message. [laughter] you and i talked, the message is outrageous. , if you don't compete against the boys, you don't get to compete at all. pete: yes. you're banned from ever competing against girls ever again. rachel: we're in con world where we just don't even ec nice biology. i think when you were talking about the protests and and this reaction, i mean, yeah, it's usa, but it's a reaction to just all this end sanity. pete: and it is, you know, you look at those middle schoolgirls and that mother, and you look at ben and others, most people don't live their lives through a political lens. they just want to play sports or go to school, request get a job, and all of this stuff is being forced into their face. i think it's forcing a lot of people to say, whoa when, i better stand up for something even when i'm not political -- rachel: yeah, well, those girls are brave. t not easy to be a middle schoolgirl and stand up against all of this, or i'm sure they received a lot of hate from their own students, from their own classmates, and they should

be, they should be commended. it's very brave. pete: for sure. we're going to turn now i to a few additional headlines starting with this. happening today in egypt, hamas officials will meet with the head of the cia to discuss a ceasefire and a hostage deal. that's according to an axios report. the report says israel is looking for the release of 33 hostages in return for a roughly 40-day cease five and return of about 900 islamist prisoners in its latest proposal. egypt's still not taking any refugees, but we are. incredible. two teenagers have turned themselves in after a video of them reportedly dumping trash into the ocean from if their boat went viral. finish they're now charged with causing pollution. and facing up to five years in prison? according to authorities they dumped bins full of cans, plastic water bottles and more. family of one of the teens says he apologizes while the other suspect has not commented.

rachel: five years is a lot, but i have to say i'm disgusted -- pete: well, it is, but five years for considering what these the hamas if folks going to get a slap on the wrist? will: five years -- [laughter] pete: anybody else going to get five years? anybody? five years for dumping bud light cans in the ocean. all right. an unlikely animal pair was found taking a stroll together in an iowa town. the dog and the deer were walking on the sidewalk withs side by side. for about an hour before police rounded them the up because they were too close -- will: why are you doing soft voice for this? [laughter] pete: because they're strolling, they're on a date. they're on an interspecies date. [laughter] police say the dog looked are remorseful, but the deer looked like he was going to break free and go on another walk. see, look at that. will: i don't get this. pete: they're friends, they're

spending time together. people can't handle their different relationship. will: yeah, he really is. this is a dramatic reading by pete hegseth. pete: a lot of otherrism going on here, okay? let the deer and the dog have their moment. will: i've seen the ones where the dog invites the deer into the house, have you ever seen that one? rachel: i have. [laughter] will: mr. wonderful, kevin o'leary, he's coming up. rachel: and a new investigation on fentanyl in the u.s., and it has china's fingerprints, go figure, all over it. pete: congressman carlos gimenez if sits on the select committee on the ccp, and he weighs in. from pep in their step to shine in their coats, when people switch their dog's food to the farmer's dog, the effects can seem like magic. but there's no magic involved.

will: china fueling america's fentanyl crisis, that's what house lawmakers were revealing after a bipartisan probe uncovers the ccp's role in the deadly drug epidemic. lawmakers saying, quote, we learned that china's political party subsidizes the fentanyl crisis through government program, protects traffickers operating within its borders and allows sales of deadly substances on chinese everything-commerce if web siteb sites. hear to react a, congressman carlos are jimenez. thanks for being with us. so intuitively, we know that a china is behind the fentanyl

crisis. we know that the precursor chemicals used to make fentanyl now in mexico, though, come from china. what did we learn that was new here about the exact extent of the role of the ccp? >> oh, what i learned that was new was that china is actually incentivizing those chemical companies to produce the chemicals as long as it's for export because, actually, it's illegal to actually have those chemicals in china. but as long as you're exporting it and poisoning people outside of china, it's great. not only is it great, we'll give you tax breaks to produce that chemical, those chemicals that are the precursors. so that's outrageous. you know, i can understand that you're allowing, hey, somehow underneath somebody is producing these chemicals in china but you're really trying to go after them, but that's not the case. they're actually incentivizing. they're poisoning over 100,000 people a year with, close to 100,000 people a year here in the united states and other tens

of thousands of people probably in the west, in europe, etc. and so china is really guilty of murder, in my mind, and china is also a guilty of being a terrorist state. they are terrorizing us here in the united states. they're killing close to 1000,000 people. many more people have died, young people here in the united states from fentanyl overdose than were killed in the entire vietnam war. so every year, by the way. and so that's outrageous. will: just to be clear or to underline, these subsidies the chinese communist party is offering to the manufacturers of these precursors are extended to these companies only if it's for export, not for domestic consumption. >> that's correct. and these, most of these chemicals have no legitimate use. they are solely used to create these deadly poisons that are poisoning, you know, look, it's the number one cause of death of young people from 18-49, i

believe, in the united states. will: right. >> and so they're actually incentivizing it. hey, not here in china. by the way, do you know how many people died of fentanyl overdose, you know, in china last year? if. will: no. >> zero. none. zero, okay? so they're poise sonning almost 100,000 americans every single year and tens of thousands more in europe. all on purpose, all being incentivized. will: really quickly, what can be done? what can we do, what can you do? you know, you guys in congress, what can you do to address this? >> well, one thing i'm doing is i'm working up on a bill to name china a state sponsor of terror theism. that's what i'm doing. and maybe they'll wake up to that, and maybe the biden administration will actually do something about it instead of asking them, please, would you do something about the fentanyl, fentanyl crisis that we have here mt. united states. stop producing these chem. calls, sending it over to mexico where these drug cartels are

then the producing, actually making the pills and then shipping them across the border. so we've got to do two things. we've got to take much more severe action against china, and we've got to take much more severe action against those multi-national cartels in mexico and probably start talking a little bit more, you know, tougher with the mexican government. because i also think that they're turning a blind eye to what's going on on their side of the border. hook, this is -- look, what, 9/11 we lost 3,000 americans, and we went over to afghanistan and waged war for 15years because what terrorists had done to 3,000 americans. will: right. >> you know, what are we doing about something that's killing 100,000 americans -- will: and to state the obvious, better enforcement at the border. not that that would solve all the problems of fentanyl, you still have to address me mexico and china, but that's another obvious peg on the stool of things that must be done as you point out. congressman jimenez, thanks for being with us this morning. >> it's my pleasure. will: an around a key on college

hide their identity. do you think that'll work? >> it used to work back in the '60s and '70s because it was only recorded on 16 millimeter film. today all of this video, security cameras are 1080p and 4k resolution, extremely high resolution that allows you to use a.i. protocols to identify people by the iris or just a partial exposure of the face. do you ever wonder e huh they captured every single person that marched on the hill in the insurgence? when they were arrested or not didn't matter, but every single person on that hill was identified using this a.i. technology today. it's very available, it's inexpensive, and i use it as an employer if every time we have a candidate in the executive suite. we do a deep dive, and we find out where you came -- we're looking for what you say on your resumé matching your reality of your life. and, obviously, i don't care what side you're on in the protest, but if you're fighting police, burning flag, wrecking

properties, breaking in, breaking through windows, i'm going to know that. and so is the government. so is everybody else. think about that. that's all i'm telling these young people, think about it, because it's not free. pete: do you think they're think about it, or do they think this'll pay off? everything in their incentive structure, kevin, in academia says become an activist, agitate. that's what their universities are telling them to do. wouldn't they want hair best opportunities in mind? >> well, universities and the con sent for professors is allowing people with difference thoughts and ideas to flourish. that's what our institutions are all about. but i'm just going back to a simple fact. when you break the law of the land -- pete: yeah. >> -- you become a criminal. and if you think by putting a mask or -- on or wearing sunglasses is going to protect you, it doesn't. that's ooh all i'm telling you. so i think when you're in your tos -- 20s, you're very passionate, i get that and everybody foes through that process, but think about what

happens next. in ten year withs high didn't you get that jobsome why didn't you get on that board? why can't you get a loan? i'm telling you why right now, because i saw you do it, and you lied to me on your resumé that you never broke the law. well, you did. whether you get caught or not doesn't matter to me as an employer. that's why you should really think this through. and i teach this in colleges now. the world has changed because we have a.i. and we've got high resolution imagery, and it's being captured every day. it goes on the dark web within 48 hours. i can see it anytime i want.

rachel: well, there was a dramatic conclusion to three weeks of trump's man hat tan trial testimony yesterday from

the former president's longtime aide hope he cans who got emotional a on the stand when she was recalling her time with the trump administration. pete: but when it came to michael cohen, hicks had nothing good to say, testifying, quote, he used the like to call himself mr. fix-it, but it was only because he first broke it. will: here to tell us what this means for trump's case is former federal prosecutor andy mccarthy. andy, great to see you this morning. >> morning. will: let's focus in, a lo of people are talking about this testimony from hope hicks that donald trump would have wanted to shield his family from these allegations around stormy daniels. now, this was a prosecution's witness with. they called hope hicks. do you see it as a big problem? because alvin bragg's big case is this is a federal case because donald trump was attempting to manipulate a federal election. that's why he was trying to hide whatever was going on with stormy daniels. now here comes hope hicks saying, no, he was trying to shield his wife.

>> well, it could have that impact. i mean, she said things that would be helpful to both sides. but i think, you know, we're looking at how the emotion of the witness may sway the jury one way or the other, how, like, one after another after another of these people who come in se uncomplimentary things about cohen. the prosecutors have already basically told the jury that cohen's a lie liar -- liar and he's not a very reputable person, and they think they can win the case on the documents. the most important thing here is the judge's impact on the jury, and that's what i'm more concerned about than the witnesses. i mean, the fact of the matter is these nondisclosure agreements are completely legal, and bragg has no legal authority to turn them boo campaign finance -- into campaign finance

violations which they're not. but the judge is letting him do it. so unlike, you know, our viewers here who get me or john turley or someone to come on every hour and explain how bad this is, what the jury's getting is what the judge is letting the prosecutors get away with, and i'm more worried about what the jury thinks than, you know, just the emotional sways of the trial from witness to witness. pete: you know, andy, it also feels -- can same as it goes with the access hollywood tape, because the judge deemed that, that it would be prejudicial to play, but the prosecution keeps bringing it up and bringing it up and descriptioning -- bringing it up and reading about it. is there a point where it's all performative to the jury to say, hey, this is a bad guy? >> it's 3e6r78ive not just for the jury, it's for the judge. he didn't let them plait, but he let them have a transcript of it. more importantly, the

prosecutors are trying to turn this into a campaign finance violation. so what they're saying is when that tape came out, when it was reported on in the early october of 2061, that ratcheted -- 2016, that ratcheted up trump's incentive to pay off stormy daniels so that he wouldn't go public prior to election which is how the prosecutors are trying to make this look like it's a campaign expendture which it simply if isn't under federal law. but the jury isn't being told why t not a campaign expendture under federal law. in fact, the judge let the jury be told that cohen not only pled guilty to two the campaign finance violations, but he let the prosecutors say that cohen went to jail over that when, in fact, cohen went to jail over $4 million in fraud if convictions. so, again, what i'm worried about is not only how these little things fit into the narrative, you know, the judge won't let them hear the tape. that's so the judge can pretend that he's being fair, but he's

letting the -- [laughter] words in, and he's letting the narrative in. rachel: yeah. of it's all a just seems so unfair is and, again, we wonder whether the jurors are getting all the information. and that kind of depends on the judge as well. >> right. rachel: thank you so much. pete: thanks, andy. will: andy, thank you. >> thanks. have a good one. rachel: you got it. pete: switching gears, the kentucky derby marks its 150th running today, and it turns out the race has even more pedigree than its horses. will: janice dean is live from churchill downs with curator jessica whitehead with more on the best moments from the race's long history. they join us now. >> good morning. this is exciting. 150, jessica. how are we celebrating? >> we are celebrating with a new book that we've come out with all about the objects that we have many our museum collection at the kentucky derby museum. >> we're going to do top four moments over 150 years. let's start off with number one. >> yeah. well, of course, 1875, the very

first kentucky derby. so i brought some hats that you might have seen women wearing in the stands because, of course, fashion is such a huge part of the kentucky derby. these are as -- amazing hats that would have been worn in the 1880s or 1890s. >> this is like a fascinator. >> i know. it's not as different can. >> no, it's not. >> yeah. >> our heads have gotten bigger in more ways than one. okay, number two. [laughter] >> so the longest shot to ever win the kentucky derby. that happened in 1913 with a horse named donna rail, and donna rail won 91 to 1 odds, so you could make a fortune. >> i remember a couple of years ago we had rich strike at 80 to 1, right? >> yeah. and rich strike, just one of several long shots that have just -- >> number three the. >> so number three, in 1937, believe it or not, the ohio live flooded, and it flooded all the

way to churchill downs. and so you don't think of churchill downs being particularly close to the river, but it was actually damaged by the flood, can and they were a little bit worried they weren't going to be able to have the derby that year. fortunately, they did, and they had a triple crown winner that year. >> wow. it happened every single year consecutively, and that's why it is the most exciting ace in sport. and also we had the first female jockey in 1970, and we remember secretariat, 1973. we had our big 50th anniversary last year. >> the heart throb of every horse lover. yeah, you can't talk about kentucky derby without talking to secretariat. >> you have to come to the museum, it's a fantastic place. you guys have have been wonderful over the last few years. happy a 150th, jessica. >> thank you. same to you. >> are we going to have a julep soon? >> oh, gosh -- [laughter] >> we are. okay, over to new york. happy 150th kentucky derby.

rachel: a actress the halle berry standing with lawmakers in d.c. earlier this week talking about men pause -- men if to pause. >> it's really important that we lean into our health care mid life, not lean out. it's really important when we go to see our doctors, they have thoughtful conversations with us a about what's going -- i have to do what no if man can do, i have to say it, i'm in men to to pause, okay? rachel: menopause. [laughter] here with tips on how to fight aging with natural remedies is author of the new book, "love mom," dr. nicole saphier. so i guess a few years back it was, like, hormone if replace. ing. and some of that didn't work out very well, so these are natural remedies. this is interesting. i hike that. >> first of all, i love that hae

there's a stigma when it comes to getting older and menonpause. you don't get away without having some symptoms. one thing, there's a big -- when it comes to anti-aging, having a healthy diet high in plants such as spinach and broccoli, walnuts, pomegranates, fishes, dark chocolates, these are all natural things that have antioxidants, help prevent some of the free radicals that come with aging, also good physical activity and social interaction, those are all great things for just preventing aging in general. however, when it comes to menopause, sure, there's hormone replacement therapy. unfortunately, there are some risks with it. 's proprogeneral alone has an increased race risk of endometrial cancer, possibly to some more aggressive colon cancers, so raw really have to think about that risk-benefit. but there are some natural remedies that some people do get

relief from, and some of that is lick rich -- licorice root, black soy, some others. you can actually speak with your doctor. there are a lot more vitamins and natural substances that can decrease some of those pesky symptoms that come with it. rachel: so are these foods that you mentioned -- let's go back to that list again, you were saying hick are rich root, pollen extra tract, flax, these are things that relieve the symptoms of it? >> yeah. so you can either take them orally, some you can use topically, but these can reduce the symptoms of those hot flashes, the moods, some of the decreased sex drive and some other things s. and we can go in a deep dive into this maybe on youred podcast -- rachel: we're going to have to do that. >> because i feel like we could talk about this for an entire hour. making sure you get enough sleep, physical exercise, all of these things can help you. men, for your manon j pause symptoms, these are things that can give you some relief --

rachel: rachel: the first step is finish. >> accepting that you're in it is the first step. rachel: i love it. they don't get off the hook on this one. [laughter] all right. you also talk about just sort of well-being for everybody. not just for people who are in that phase of life. and faith is something that you talk about in your book as something great for mom moms. >> you know what? as we look around what's going on around the country right now, it feels like the country's on fire, the world's on fire. and if you look over the past several decades, you've had a decreased church attendance amongst the population, and it seems to be a generational thing. we're too busy with our cell phones and these materialistic possessions. and whether we're talking about going to church, the temple, the mosque or just having a presence of something higher kind of guiding us, as we've gone farther away from that, we're seeing a rise in mental illness. we also have a rise in, you know, physical if ailments. and it is well documented that having a strong faith helps you

cope with anxiety, depression, stress and also decreases your stress hormone. so decreased cardiovascular disease, autoimmune disease and we'res your immune system. there's one thing right now, you have to lean in on your faith. and that's why in my new book, love, mom, perfect mother if's day gift -- rachel: it sure is. >> we really talk about how important faith is in just being, you know, a woman, a mother but also overcoming some of our challenges. and if i could, i'd really love to read a quote from a friend that i've known for a couple of decades, this beautiful woman, annette, who lost her only son after he came back from combat in afghanistan. she says if one permits it, meaning, change and purpose can be found if you let god lead you. there's so many stories like this, and i highly recommend getting this. it's a great mother's day gift. rachel: awesome stuff. love, mom. thank you, nicole. >> thank you so much. rachel: you got it.
