secretary says the lab leak theory is plausible. >> size leak out of laboratory and even caused secondary deaths. we know that in 1979 anthrax killed 60 people out of the soviet laboratory. lab leaks are not uncommon and people getting ill in november from a laboratory, if that proves true, it coincides with when we know this virus hit china. jillian: lawmakers are pushing for a full investigation. congressman mike walsh says, quote, a litany of mounting evidence raises legitimate concerns regarding safety and security of federally funded research to the w iv. the white house is standing by doctor anthony fauci after hundreds of leaked emails shed new light on what he may have known and when regarding covid origin. jillian: seems like it is starting to unravel a little bit. some answers hopefully. todd: the white house unveiled its plan to donate 25 million

todd: welcome back. kentucky the latest state taking a stand against critical race theory, lawmakers proposing a bill that would limit race and gender studies in school. joe fisher is one of the bill's fathers. he joins us now. thanks for being here. let's go through the bills and what they contain. one race or sex is inherently superior to another race or sex is one of the things that would ban. another is an individual's moral character is determined by his or her race, respecting individual by virtue of his race or sex, responsibility for actions committed by other members of the same race or sex and meritocracy your traits such as a hard work ethic are racist

or sexist or were created by members of a particular race 2 oh press members of another race. this is the concept or the concepts you are trying to get out of kentucky public education but why are any of those topics taught in the first place? >> that is a good question. i think critical race theory which embraces the concept has a long and storied history in academia, higher education but starting to filter down to the elementary and secondary schools. these are impressionable minds and a captive audience, teachers and lower-level grains have with these students and this is a problem i don't understand that has arisen in the last few years

at the local levels. todd: here is the response from education commissioner disappointed by your proposal, quote, discussing difficult issues of how we prepare our students to be citizens in our democratic republic and and our state has a long tradition of empowering local educators to make the best decisions for their students. how are any of these woke subjects preparing our kids to compete in the global economy on things like math, science, with countries like china and russia? >> another good question. these are all false concepts in my view. one -- no one race is inherently superior to another. if someone is in school teaching 2 plus 2 equals 5, that would be false and would leave our students without the proper background. todd: if there's anything positive one can take from

critical race theory it is the we should all be equal and that is the concept you should be learning at home through your church, through your family. schools need to focus on getting you ready for the workforce. interesting to see how this plays out in kentucky and states across the nation. kentucky state rep joe fisher, have a great weekend. jillian: let's go to janice dean with a look at our fox weather forecasts. my hair is a little frizzy, low humidity. >> janice: that is the one way we can tell, hair gets a little curly because we have showers in the area, cloudy, all this is going to move out and we have a great warm weekend across the northeast. let's look at those temperatures close to 70 in new york. it is warmer than average. 58 in cincinnati, 75 in minneapolis, 78 in tampa,

showers and thunderstorms will linger on the eastern seaboard toward florida and the gulf coast. texas will get really wet this weekend into early next week, several inches of rainfall and possibility for flooding, story we are monitoring, severe threat across the mid-atlantic. not a huge deal but we can see pop up thunderstorms that could produce gusty windss and there is your forecast. on the gulf coast, showers and thunderstorms to the east coast. things will improve as we get into the weekends and it is going to be very warm. how warm is it? 90s and 100 degree temperatures in the northern plains and upper midwest. that is rare for this time of year that will be dangerous heat and that will visit the northeast for saturday and sunday, high 80s to 90 degree temperatures in dc, new york towards boston, just a tease. i'm going to be racing on over to belmont, my 640 hit during "fox and friends" will be getting prepped for the belmont. love it. todd: we love when you go to the

you and recognize the pandemic put one more way to die in the line of duty. >> $1,000 bonus and it goes beyond law enforcement, but all first responders. >> correct. medical, firefighters. >> what has been the reaction so far into you see anything that would potentially be a snag to hold it up? >> the reaction has been overwhelmingly positive. we have good legislative reception and the chance is very good, everybody wants their federal dollars so there is competition for those resources. jillian: if we look at numbers, law enforcement officers in 2020, 264 officers died in the line of duty, 145 deaths caused by covid 19. is this an important first step

in trying to rebuild a little bit of that positive enforcement that has been lacking in a lot of our law enforcement officers? >> i don't think the society as a whole holds law officers in any lower esteem. they are heroes almost every one of them do their job every day and putting their lives on the line, a small minority of people and it is time for the rest of us to speak up and say we need law enforcement, we value what they do. >> because of everything they had to deal with in the last year which is devastating when you hear the story. in the meantime we look at this. ohio politicians ceremoniously burned their mask as the mandates were lifted. a lot of them in ohio were lifted. as of wednesday. tell me the idea behind burning
