including the fact i can safely walk my dog to the capitol in a way we couldn't when we got here. >> carley: just hours before that shooting there was a shooting southwest of the capitol building. >> todd: to basketball. u uconn huskies dominated purdue in the championship game. >> what an amazing run. it is a uconn coronation, huskies make history back-to-back national champions. >> todd: uconn's national title putting in tie with -- behind only ucla and kentucky. difference is all of uconn's titles were in the past 25 years. husky head coach and fellow

jersey boy, that was written in there, dan hurley speaking on what got the team through the dominant run. listen. >> i think we're old-school values in terms of how hard we work, people we bring in and have a good formula to play ball. >> todd: newton named most outstanding player of the tournament. helping uconn become back-to-back national title winners since 2007. you think of duke, indiana, ch kansas, uconn? more titles than duke, indiana ore kansas. >> carley: they have blue blood. you believe you won the "fox and friends" bracket. >> todd: coming off my major win

her uncle's unhappy. i'm sensing an underlying issue. it's t-mobile. it started when we tried to get him under a new plan. but they they unexpectedly unraveled their “price lock” guarantee. which has made him, a bit... unruly. you called yourself the “un-carrier”. you sing about “price lock” on those commercials. “the price lock, the price lock...” so, if you could change the price, change the name! it's not a lock, i know a lock. so how can we undo the damage? we could all unsubscribe and switch to xfinity. their connection is unreal. and we could all un-experience this whole session. okay, that's uncalled for.

>> you have the chairman of the house oversight committee, representative comer take evidence and account from someone working with the russian intelligence and try to impeach and remove the president of the united states over it. this is serious. how did they not know this was connected to the russians or did they not figure it out? >> that is an excellent request for chairman comer. >> carley: chairman james comer is here to respond to that. your colleague and stephen colbert have questions regarding the impeach impeachment inquiry. >> all the democrats have is russia, russia, russia.

our investigation is actually proven that the bidens took 3.5 million from a russian owing gar oligarch for no reason. they could not explain why they received a $3.5 million. we believe it was received because the oligarch couldn't get an american bank to take her as a client. democrats go back to russia 2.0. i assume what aoc is talking about is the fbi informant that was arrested. we never knew who the fbi i informant was. whistleblowers brought forward a 1023 that allege the bidens were involved in a bribery scheme.

we knew bidens were up to no good in ukraine and investigated this. we asked christopher wray who the informant was and wray told us one of the most trusted and highest paid informants that had been with the bureau for over 10 years. the whole ordeal with the fbi informant was not relevant to the investigation, it was one part we investigated. democrats are concluding with media to say that was a key part of the investigation and it needs to end. bidens took $30 million from enemies around the world and can't say what they did to receive the money. we believe joe biden is compromised because of the money he's taken and been dishonest with the american people. >> carley: politico has a piece saying your investigation into

president biden, impeachment inquiry is fizzling and republicans are looking for fresh lines of attack against the biden administration. is that true? where are you in this investigation into the president? >> it is not true. this investigation has been one of the most successful congressional investigations in history. at the beginning of the investigation, media narrative was the bidens had a legitimate business, never took money while joe biden was president, they never took money from china. we have proven all that to be false and done it with subpoenaed bank records. we have their bank statement ss bank statements show the bidens took the money and e-mail show involvement of joe biden in the schemes. three biden associates testified

joe biden was the closer of the schemes. this has been a successful investigation and we're trying to do the accountability phase of this. we have proven the crimes and proven the government was involved in a massive cover-up. now it is time to hold the bidens accountable. stay tuned over next few weeks. >> carley: what will we be staying tuned for? >> what will happen in the next two weeks? >> we'll be issuing hopefully a report soon giving joe biden an opportunity to answer some questions. we invited joe biden like we invited hunter biden to testify publicly. they said they wanted to do that. the media attacked me because they said i didn't want the bidens in front of the

committee. they have an open invitation. to help with joe biden's busy schedule, he wakes up about noon and ends work about 3:00, we submitted questions for joe biden to answer. we're hoping he answers those questions. end of the day, it is difficult to answer the questions in way that doesn't implicate the bidens because we have bank records, e-mails, deposed biden associates that are not in jail or on the run internationally. we believe there are criminal referrals that are warranted and believe impeachment is on the table. >> carley: you are looking for information from the doj, you and jim jordan requested audio recording of special counsel robert hur interview with president biden over how he handled classified documents.

doj responded saying request denied and indicate that you only want the audio recordings to damage the president politically, last line, we urge committee to avoid conflict rather than seek it. what is your reaction? why do you want the audio recordings when you have the transcripts? >> doj is pot calling the kettle black. past 12 months, jim jordan and i have been under attack by the war room. every fact we presented, the doj colluded with main-stream media to create a false narrative that there is disinformation, there is no evidence and russian collusion and none of those things are true. doj doesn't get to determine what congress needs.

we need the audio tapes and biden administration claimed when they were a candidate for president they would be the most transparent administration in history, i can make the argument they are the least transparent in history. we need to determine if the trip matches the audio. you can hear the stuttering and back and forth, when the transcript comes out, you can't tell whap went on. we believe it is a check and balance to ensure everything in the transcript is correct. there were problems in the interview or robert hur wouldn't have said joe biden was a forgetful old man. we believe robert hur went through the pain i've been through with utter dishonesty of

joe biden and his administration. we expect to receive audio tapes and biden administration and doj should provide them in the manner of transparency. >> carley: your surprise cameo on the late night shows, thank you. great to see you. the media having a field day after president trump says abortion should be left up to the states. >> giving this statement, he's trying to wash his hand of fallout of end of roe. >> believe anything, god knows what he's done in his past, transalate into please votes for me. >> todd: plus, lori lightfoot stafrts her new job today, she is investigating the worst mayor

unresolved depression symptoms were in my way. i needed more from my antidepressant. vraylar helped give it a lift. adding vraylar to an antidepressant is clinically proven to help relieve overall depression symptoms better than an antidepressant alone. and in vraylar clinical studies, most saw no substantial impact on weight. elderly dementia patients have increased risk of death or stroke. report unusual changes in behavior or suicidal thoughts. antidepressants can increase these in children and young adults. report fever, stiff muscles, or confusion, as these may be life-threatening, or uncontrolled muscle movements, which may be permanent. high blood sugar, which can lead to coma or death, weight gain, and high cholesterol may occur. movement dysfunction and restlessness are common side effects. stomach and sleep issues, dizziness, increased appetite, and fatigue are also common. side effects may not appear for several weeks. i didn't have to change my treatment. i just gave it a lift. ask about vraylar and learn how abbvie could help you save.

we know you care. [music plays] but if this is all too real for you and your loved ones. make the call. because we care too. ♪ home instead. to us, it's personal. >> carley: the biden-harris campaign is bash ing president trump. >> abortion is a key issue where democrats poll better than repub republicans. biden campaign is wielding it as a political weapon. the former president is not endorsing a national ban supporting the status quo. >> the states will determine by vote or legislation or perhaps both and whatever they decide

must be the law of the land, in this case, the law of the state. >> madeleine: trump repeated himself. president biden saying this, donald trump is worried since he is responsible for overturning r roe, voters will hold him responsible in 2024. they will. >> the former president yet again declaring how proud he is of his responsibility for overturning roe v. wade. be clear, if he were put back in position to sign off on a law, he would sign off on national abortion ban. >> not happy are south carolina

senator lindsey graham who is pressing for limits. >> carley: thank you so much. let's bring in outkick host tomi lahren. members of the media, trump's biggest critics reacting to his a abortion stance. >> more accurate headline, chann channe channelling -- abortion bans. >> given this statement, he's trying to wash his hands of fallout of end of roe, and say this is not a federal issue. >> anything he says could be translated to the following, he doesn't have principles.

translate into please vote for me and put me in the white house. >> carley: what is your reaction? the former president's stancea abortion and their response to it. >> tomi: politically, be honest, we lost the 2022 midterm, republicans, because of this issue and republicans failed to communicate the issue effectively. a lot of americans don't know where republicans stack up on abortion. there is so much misinformation and convolution on the issue, americans do believe republicans want a federal ban even if they don't and are not pushing for a federal ban. for donald trump to come out and

put out a message directly addressing the issue was an excellent move by him. for those in the media that want states to decide for themselves, donald trump is giving them what they wanted and that angers them because they can't weaponize it against them. i'm paying attention to the former president putting out a meddleage loud and clear and if other republicans want to win elections and protect state rights they will go along with donald trump's message and if they are wise, they will adopt donald trump's message on this political issue. like it or not, this will be an election issue and republicans have to have a cohesive stance if they want to win. >> todd: just so far you can ignore this upon toic.

at some point, everybody will have to speak up about it. get your thoughts on this, lori lightfoot, former mayor will be paid $400 an hour to investigate tiffany hayner, dubbed as worst mayor in america by using the police. here is lightfoot on her planned investigation. >> as former mayor i bring expertise leading investigations of this kind and understand complex challenges of governing. i commit to you that i will follow the facts where they lead without bias and resefrve commet until the work is complete. >> todd: i guess there is logic in hiring the person dubbed the

worst mayor in america to investigate the current worst mayor in eshg america. was there no one else available? >> tomi: she must have time on her. i thought this was from the babylon bee. this is too wild to believe. no, it is a real thing. i would like to focus on this mayor. i did digging and checked out her personal profile and she refers to herself as hashtag super mayor and has her own podcast and calls out haters on her official instagram page. this is a soap opera, maybe a bravo reality show. if you look into the allegations, she is making

$224,000 a year, if she is replaced, her replacement would only make $125,000 per year. luxury vacation, security detail, if this is not made for reality tv, i don't know what is and add in lori lightfoot. >> carley: and lori lightfoot investigating for $400 per hour. that is a lot of money. thank you for joining us. have a great day. the naia, governing body of college athletics has announced that transgender athletes will be banned from participating in -- in women's sports,

participation and activities like work out and practice up to the institution. wheeler is a swim alum, part of the lawsuit against the ncaa over transgender regulation and joins us now. how important was this step in breaking the ice to put pressure on the ncaa to enact a similar r rule? >> it's huge, all i can say is all eyes are on the ncaa right now. this is what real leadership looks like. they did research, made the right call, unlike the ncaa who admitted they have not done enough research. which i don't think opening a biology textbook is that hard. over past two years we've seen men taking away trophies,

scholarships, it is not inclusive or fair. inviting them into our locker rooms does not promote safeness. it is time the ncaa follow suit and do the same. >> carley: naia is separate from the ncaa, it governs small schools and universities remember you were a temperature temperature -- teammate of riley gaines. this has impacted you because you competed against lia thomas. what do you think the future holds on this issue? >> as much as the ncaa would like to turn their head on this issue, they will be forced to face this and uphold title nine. people are fed up with the n nonsense, it doesn't matter republican or democrat, there

are differences between men and women, especially when it comes to sports. it is sad we had to file a lawsuit against the ncaa to make them understand this. this goes beyond this issue and reveals how weak our leaders are. i'm encouraged by naia new policy and hopeful that many others are going to do the same. it only takes one before more follow down the right path. >> todd: this last month, women's sports have had this amazing boost, it would be a shame if anything was done to destroy that. women's basketball is more popular than men's basketball. keep up the fight. president biden accused of buying votes with latest student loan handout he is adding to $146 billion tab you the taxpayer have already been asked

times more than they do in europe for healthcare and way worst results. we can't have 60% of the american population unhealthy. 54% of children. that seems to be the biggest story for you guys and all mass media the fact that children have chronic illness at over 50%. that's 10, 12-year-old statistic. we have to get peoeople healthy. i have got little kids. if that isn't the biggest concern by media then what is. send $100 billion instead of giving to ukraine for forever wars. end healthlessness. >> carley: 10% in the polls that. >> needs to get higher. he needs to get at least 13, 14. at least what is going to happen now, because he is -- by the way, is he winning with people 34 and under and people who can't vote. is he winning. >> carley: why do you think that is? >> because he is talking about things that really matter. because, you know, unfortunately, we get two major

parties in america. one more than china. and i think people are tired of the same, you know, getting offered the same thing. we got again america trump vs. biden what do you think of that hear him speak. listen to robert kennedy. hear him speak is he talking about things that really do matter to the american people. >> todd: when it comes to speaking and being free to speak your mind. obviously you are on the show attacking trump and biden. you don't care. because free speech is about not caring about the consequences of your actions. >> there should be no governmental repercussions for your free speech. that's the whole point of the american. >> carley: first amendment. >> todd: part of your attack against wokeness. shane gill columbus. gillis.>> it has to be close to collapse as my good friend lindsey says 12, 18 months for collapses. it's entrenched power and right now the democrats are have the
