from attending with his mom. guests dined on beef with shallot marmalade, several different times of american cheeses, creme fraiche ice cream, caviar, and the main event was the butter poached maine lobster just days after whole foods pulled it from the shelves for concerns over environmentalist. over regulations aimed at preserving the endangered white whale. democrat congressman jared goldman tweeted "if the white house can prioritize purchasing 200 maine lobster's for a fancy dinner, he should also take the time to meet with fishermen who is currently going out of business." she tweeted "if maine lobsters good enough for the white house to serve, it is good enough for every seafood retailer, including whole foods to sell." so far the white house has not weighed in, but the dinner was a very high-stakes event.

cooking for the french of course is never easy, but it did appear to go off without a hitch, albeit after an awkwardly long handshake after his arrival. they seem to have hashed out tensions over the inflation reduction act, macron saying that the city for american businesses could -- and call that unfair, and biden after their meeting appeared to concede a bit. >> has almost $368 billion, investment in climate change. and so there is obviously going to be glitches in the event and to reconcile changes. >> today that president is going to head to boston to meet with a u.k. royals. we are hoping to hear from him, though, potentially before he leaves. >> ainsley: we love that.

projecting wales with our gear since i was in high school back in the '90s. we've done it effectively. the last documented injured whale was all the way back in 2004, and there has never been a document of mortality in man lobster gear, so he says that this is just bad p.r. he also said this. >> it is just bad publicity. it is one customer, so huge impact on markets, but it is that p.r. component of it. it sends the wrong messaging. i just have one line from the recent audit, one of the sustainability partners that you just mentioned there. this is from their recent statement a week ago. "there is no recent evidence that the maine lobster fishery is responsible for entitlements or interactions with whales." that is their own statement right there, so this is based on

a technicality, believe it or not, that has nothing really to do with the overall sustainability of our fisheries, so they are not questioning our sustainability when it comes to you right whales. >> brian: amazing. no one ever thinks about business and people. i am for the environment, but do not over correct. think the people involved. and overall, i just think that more people we can put front and center, those everyday people, that eventually -- >> pete: they already have shifted. in the maine and elsewhere. they are of the voters. they realize that the virtue signaling from the white house -- lobster good enough for us on the world stage. not good enough for you because we want to protect a whale that is no longer in danger. >> ainsley: he said that he would protect the seafood industry, but he said we've been trying to get in touch, schedule a meeting, and we are having --

talking about the return of indra masking. >> is both hospital indicators, the new covid-19 admissions in the proportion of staff and patients occupied by covid patients surpasses the threshold for high and our case rate is back to 200 cases per 100,000 people, l.a. county will follow the guidance. at the high community level, including universal indra masking. >> you see, according to my chart over here, we are going to have to be wearing a mask again soon. >> brian: the problem is too many people are enjoying their lives. let's screw them up again. what is the worst that happens? we get reelected because they put everyone back in charge -- they have been voting with their feet. san francisco is the number one city, people looking to exit from los angeles. in san diego is where they want to go to.

>> ainsley: so we have an update on the story that we talked about yesterday. the congressman was on our show, talking about a constituent in his area in florida who called him, and it's a female. she got accepted to the naval academy. you know it is extremely difficult to get the nomination. you does your congressman has to nominate you, so this lady called him and says i am about to graduate, and i am not going to get my diploma because i'm one of the ones that set i would not get vaccinated. so he sent a letter to the naval academy and said this is not acceptable. you are taking away a qualified midshipman and, a waste of our country's investment, and it's going to hurt our military readiness at a time when we are having trouble with recruitment and retention. so these are the best of the best. just because they don't want to get vaccinated when they are young and healthy and ready to fight for our country, you are not going to give them their diploma. they sent him a letter back on

december 1st, a few days ago -- or yesterday -- filed for religious exemptions and not one of them was granted, but they are saying that they will get their diplomas. >> pete: hughes where the statement comes from the navy. "there have been no midshipman separated from the naval naval academy, nor for declining the covid-19 vaccination. they filed a religious exemption request. no date and no religious exemptions have been granted." >> brian: not going to get a degree or a commission. >> pete: they are not telling the truth here, but either way either way. >> brian: cannot be accurate. >> pete: you are effectively not allowed to go to school, but you are in this ultimate limbo land. same thing happens in the army and across our military. they have given out zero -- zero religious exemptions.

"the most healthy, youngest part of our population." this is probably good for its peak. >> brian: you don't believe anyone is graduating over 65. greg, a veteran himself, waited with with us yesterday. >> this is a constituent of mine who went to the process, join the naval academy before covid, now being told that not only is she not going to get mission, but she's not even going to graduate and be able to get a diploma. four years of your life in college and not even being able to get a degree. this is a young woman who wants to sue her country, and all because she does not want to take the covid-19 vaccine based on religious exemptions. it is absolutely atrocious that we are treating our young people this way. it's got to go all the way to the top. it's got to be secretary austin. it's got to be biden forcing these on our military members. >> brian: they cannot reverse course enough to say this does

not make sense. it does not have to be mand mandatory. >> pete: let's just get into the medical side of this. one shot, two shots, four boosters. five boosters we have up to now to try to give up with the variants. and guess what the last time i saw someone get a booster, it was joe biden who immediately got the virus. and then we have governor -- dr. fauci gets his fist booster. he got the virus. then he got it back again after using a therapeutic he told us works. that is the template of an effective vaccine which absolutely is effective, but you should have a choice. you lose america when it comes to mandates. >> brian: now someone says every two months you have to get one right now. >> ainsley: doesn't the left say "my body, my choice" until it comes to the vaccine?

>> pete: yeah, no more to say about that. >> ainsley: let's give it over to carley shimkus. >> carley: good morning, guys. i do have some headlines, and we are going to turn to the latest on the idaho murder mystery. the final farewell for the 20-year-old comes as police revealed a six person was on the lease of their off-campus home. the father of kaylee is now demanding justice. >> i want him to be scared. i don't want him to be confident. i want him to be sick of seeing my face. i am not going nowhere until this guy is off the streets. the worst thing i want is for another family to go through this. >> carley: authorities are saying that the attack was in fact targeted. the raleigh police department releasing dramatic body cam footage to a shoot-out with a teenager accused of killing five people back in october. and we want to warn you the

exit interview, why are they leaving? >> when we have less police officers, what it boils down to is less working patrol and less detectives working cases, so when you have less police officers working patrol and you still want to deliver the same quality of services, that means they have to work additional hours, and they have to work mandatory overtime. and you don't have the same number of detectives you used to have. that means your case let's go up, so today's young police officer, they value their work-life balance. they value their training, their education. they value their time off with their family, so we are working really hard to be that police department that has a lot to offer its police officers. we are all kind of in the same boat across the country. we are all trying to figure out what that silver bullet is. >> ainsley: well, when you give them the $15,000 signing bonus, can they leave tomorrow? or do they have to stay? >> we are a little bit worried
