>> brian: i have a cohost. here you go. wow! >> ainsley: that is great, brian. >> steve: he's got the microphone, why isn't he talking? >> brian: steve, we will do this a long time ago. we keep forgetting to talk but we know what they would like to say. they hope the chiefs win and i can't wait for the family to arrive here in a matter of moments. >> ainsley: it's all in the eyes, brian. >> brian: it's all in the eyes. >> steve: you know, brian, first of all, you should have talked to janice dean before you went and she would have told you you need winter clothes because it is actually warmer in new york than it is in minnesota. here is the thing about the mascot right there, that pastor

is in a big, warm zoo and he feels better than you do. >> brian: absolutely. steve, look behind me, the cheerleaders dancing, they don't complain. but like me they are wearing -- it really works to keep that grip around your thighs that we all see. >> steve: i have no idea what is talking about. >> ainsley: brian is in his element. he is losing it because he's in his element. >> brian: how great is this high school band? they travel with piccolo's, alto/tenor care where notes. >> steve: the mountain ridge band. >> ainsley: brian, on the website commits as 50, and we talked about this a few minutes ago 50 honor courses and in school we could do calculus for advanced english. that is all they offered here they have an arts program recognized for performance of

excellence at the local level, state-level watching the artist now perform for us. they have -- >> steve: kansas city cheerleaders there because the boss clerk hunt will be arriving shortly. what a great story. >> ainsley: great story. >> steve: they are football's founding family. >> ainsley: we will talk a lot of super bowl but we turn to the big game to the latest on the chinese by a flight. the fbi releasing new images as agents are vandalizing the aircraft debris off of the coast of the south carolina. >> steve: they have not got much yet and still searching for the electronic payload, the gizmos say spied. president biden argued that the flight not a major breach. speed went live from the white house with details and they walk back on that statement, mark, i don't know. >> so far not yet good morning to you and so for these spied

crepe shot down over the carolina coast has not changed u.s. chinese relations, excuse me but closer to home a bipartisan uproar over this incident and the president was asked for the latest feelings on thursday. take a listen. >> it is a violation of international law to the airspace. >> u.s. officials have learned a lot more about the spy craft recent days and remember the balloon was the size of a regional jet and reportedly multiple antennas with sensitive information. we hear from pentagon who chinese used surveillance imagery from youtube flybys with high altitude balloon capable of conducting signal intelligence collection's operations. that is from the pentagon spokesperson on thursday. the white house appears to move on but white house keeping this front-end center and the house unanimously approving resolutions condemning chinese

actions. jon tester demanding to know more about exactly what is flying over his state. >> want to know if he knew what the chinese were trying to collect at that moment and that reconnaissance balloon. >> senator, thank you for the question. we can probably get into details in a classified setting. >> you can say yes or no. you don't need to get into the specifics but did we know they were trying to collect. the answer is we think they know what they were trying to collect but we don't know. that scares the hell out of me. >> this morning for spokesperson for the chinese foreign ministry asked exactly what was on the spy craft but the spokesperson said that she did not know. you will love this, guys, china is condemning congress' reaction claiming lawmakers were dramatizing this whole thing. steve and brian back to you. >> steve: and they want their spy craft backed doggone it. mark, thank you very much. the government, the u.s. government took the

extraordinary measures of declassified a bunch of information essentially to shame china and say, hey, we are on to you. we know you have this global surveillance fleet. we know it is run by the military and apparently that particular craft and that part of the canopy they fished out of the water, the craft made by a company that sells to the chinese military. the department states that the company that built it apparently advertises balloon products on its website and posted videos from past flights that show would over u.s. airspace and over other nations. now, of course, the questions are about the ties between some civilian run businesses in china and chinese military. it is what the u.s. military calls u.s. military civil fusion. ultimately, ansley, what they are trying to figure out as dips parts out of the ocean, why are

the english words on some of this? are they using technology from u.s. or western companies? at this point, the intel community for the united states of america doesn't know whether or not this was blown off course or had mechanical failure or if it was supposed to be. >> ainsley: senator josh hawley and dan sullivan were worried about did american companies help build the chinese spy flight? officials did not give a definitive answer. they are saying they could have listen to conversations. they said they had western made herds with english writing, as you were saying. they were flying over the military installations. they could have listened to conversations down below. that information could have been transported back to china. also something interesting about brian, when we were watching the interview with joe biden, they were asking about running for president if he had to run against trump and if he had to run against desantis and he said they have similar and he

doesn't see a difference between the two should they run against him. and trump is in the race right now. but here is senator dan sullivan the calmer science transportation committee. he was talking about this. reminds us of what the nature of the chinese communist party regime is here they are aggressive and doing this to our country. they have been actually doing this all over the world for a number of years and then come of course, publicly, they don't tell the truth. they like to the world. so, we need to make sure we understand the nature of the adversary we are facing. but the big thing, we need to reestablish deterrence here in what i pressed administration officials is making a public announcement the next time they do anything like this, typically airspace in alaska, we will shoot them down. the alaska command military credit, f-16s, f-35s we are

tracking before it came into the air space and we clearly could t time we need to tell them, "we will shoot it down." >> ainsley: it the water is so deep that they were worried about shooting it down there because it would be hard to collect the information and it would sink to the bottom. i wonder, why couldn't they shoot it down immediately in alaska where the water is not so deep. and she was so angry because she saw it in alaska. >> brian: a couple of things, if you are mad at congress be mad at democrats because a democrat. you also have an ally of president biden than ever president trump. so they are not doing histrionics or try to get to political attraction. the first thing you should be thinking about from here on the end is american security, not fishing it out. number two, how much did it help you? 42 feet of water and a payload, the only thing picked up was the

debris. and i just think from here on in we should get to the bottom of the fact that they went from i never heard of these balloons but they flew over to i didn't even know about it too they have a global fleet of surveillance balloons then. i don't know how you go from 0 to 60 that fat. somebody is not being transparent. >> steve: the company that is making them putting them online. more on this a little later on but 10 minutes after the top of the hour and ashley joins us with awful news from new jersey. >> i do, guys we start with this story. the police announced a suspect under arrest and mysterious death of new jersey kindergarten teacher mendez. the police discovered her body on the side of the road in kearny and what they call a shallow grave. the charter school teacher appeared to be beaten and strangled. they have not identified the suspect or mention what charges they could face. there is outrage among the food service industry over crackdown

on tips. president joe biden want servers to report the cash they take home every night directly to the irs and right now they only need to report tips to their employers and one new york city restaurant owner joined us early to share his concerns. listen to this. >> do you pay your taxes? and now they are asking to police for them. they said they wouldn't hit anybody under $400,000, but they are hitting kids making $80,000, $90,000 a year? >> he noticed by taking away the tip credit labor cost would increase 50%. now to the nfl honors, kansas city chiefs quarterback patrick mahomes second mvp award earning 48 of 50 first-place votes. the under coming days before he takes football's biggest stage super bowl lvii and maine will host kelly clarkson who is a dallas cowboys fan had a little

speed when we are from brooklyn arizona and you impress me. and last time i spoke with dallas cowboys owner jerry jones with the nfl. he told me about my next guest in their family, lamar hunt who founded the chiefs in 1959, listen. >> i remember lamar hunt when i was real young and i got to meet him. i would hang around in my vehicle in my hotel where the owners were meeting. and i just wanted somehow someway to rub off on me and years later, those, chiefs are the part of the reason. >> brian: joining us right now are the people jerry jones just talking about, the hunt family.

and the facts indicate that they had weekly meetings with the government. they indicate that the government would send long lists of citizens and others to be targeted, centered, in some cases band. those are very serious allegations that raised constitutional question, which is why i was there to discuss it. >> ainsley: what did you think watching liz parker and her observations of the fbi? she used to work for the fbi and politics are trickling into field offices and it's really upsetting her. >> agent parker gave heart-wrenching testimony but she lost one of her best friends has an agent. she loved the fbi and she resigned because she felt the agency had changed. the democrats also attack the other witness. that didn't go very well either. you had a congressman goldman, "if you ever investigate extremist groups? "he said, "yeah, i reclaim my

time." the effort here is to try to avoid talking about censorship and the government's role in it. >> ainsley: right, thank you so much, jonathan, for coming on. >> thank you. >> ainsley: senior meteorologist janice dean for the fox weather forecast, hey, janice. >> it is a beautiful day in new york city. let's look at the maps because temperatures way above average, 57 right now. we do have colder air behind this month bringing some showers, some snow, but half of the country, spring time. look at new york 56 degrees. we were at 60 at one point. i think we have already had that high. 59 in d.c. and again with the temperature is reminiscent of springtime. we have an active pattern ahead of us with pressure to cross the southeast to the mid-atlantic this weekend. another out of the rockies into the plane states monday and tuesday and yet another area of low pressure wednesday. bottom line we do have snow and potential for severe storms and

flood risk next week. we will take these temperatures for much of the country feeling very warm. there is the big game forecast for brian kilmeade, 75 degrees sunday, kansas city chiefs with the philadelphia eagles. partly cloudy skies. then traveling home, we actually could have nasty weather for parts of the southwest. we will keep you up-to-date. certainly you can text me brian kilmeade if you need a forecast but so far i've delivered on the weather for you. >> brian: yes, delivered for you. you haven't delivered for me but it's okay, i'm not complaining. everything is great. >> why? because you have to wear a layer thing today? is that why you are complaining? >> brian: i can't complain because the guy next to me can complain about anything. two days away from the super bowl in glendale with the all-star predictions and pro football of famer tony dungy, tony, i almost said baltimore. good to see you, coach.

many years as a broadcaster. do you enjoy the broadcasting? >> you know i am. we have great games and a good crew. it's been a lot of a lot of fun. >> brian: so far we look at this game break down this game it is two weeks already right here. identical records, and both went to the playoffs. the eagles haven't been tested but have they gotten much better than anybody else or just these draws? >> i think that philadelphia eagles have a well-rounded team and they had a little hiccup when jalen hurts was injured but other than that, they have been very, very strong. kansas city has been a little bit more up and down but dynamic. these two quarterbacks if they are healthy, it will be a great game. >> brian: you came out this year and somebody's faith with fantastic parents and change so many lives. you came flat out and said you are pro-life as a coach, as a coach, as a parent. have you felt that?

teaching them anything! >> here is the reality they are spending $21,000 per student. and they monetize our children. they have ghost students and they falsify records and falsify grades just to get the money and keep the money. as a parent, as one who passes parents of children and the public school system, we have to speak out. we have to stand up. i don't call them leaders. leadership begins with at the top but accountability begins at the bottom. we have to do what we need to do to hold them accountable. we need to go to meetings and they only give you 4 minutes and raise to get their attention. but then you both amount. >> steve: so is that the solution to both the people out? the parents need solutions right now, pm. >> the alternative is school choice. nobody wants to hear that because that takes money from
