we need help. >> todd: police say the suspected gunman entered berkey hall before heading to the union student center, deceased victims were found in both buildings. she did not know if her friends were okay while shelter nothing place. so scary hearing them say they are under their bed and barricading their door and crying and they hear screaming. it is really terrible feeling. >> ashley: we'll be speaking with michigan congressman on the senseless shooting. 911 call revealed eyewitness saw a male suspect in all black fleeing from the scene where eunice dwumfour was shot and killed, listen. >> gunshots, i looked out my window and saw a man shooting into the driver's side of a

white vehicle three times. he left on foot and ran on foot and the white car drove up and crashed into two cars and the person in the driver side car is probably not alive. >> ashley: the caller account coincides with a second witness who saw a figure fleeing from the back alley near eunice dwumfour's townhome. police are asking for anyone with surveillance cameras to come forward. >> todd: one dead and seven injuries after this violent rampage by a man driving a u-haul in brooklyn yesterday. it is truck struck a man on a bike and another pedestrian dives out of the way in time on the sidewalk. wayne sore is in custody, his family says he has a history of violent behavior and mental

and understand we have record overdoses and the state is turning a blind eye to this, this is really awful to allow this to go on. >> ashley: 50 million fentanyl pills were seized throughout 2022, along with 10,000 pounds of fentanyl powder and 73,000 reported overdoses of the deadly drug last year. listen to this, new york city teachers who were fired over the vaccine mandate had their fingerprints turned over to the fbi. >> what criminal activity is this? why is my fingerprint being sent to the fbi? >> we will call on mayor eric adams to investigate this thoroughly. >> ashley: we'll bring you that story just ahead. >> todd: one woman was told her daughter was given a chest

>> ashley: a shocking accusation of federal overreach in new york as the city reportedly flagged fingerprints of unvaccinated teachers to the fbi. >> when the city puts codes on employees that have been terminated, they have a flag in their file and their fingerprints are sent to the fbi and new york criminal justice service and impacts their ability to get employment at other places. >> ashley: two fired teachers and an investigative reporter joined us last hour calling for action and a response from the city. >> my first question to the government or whatever is basically what did i do? what kind of criminal action did i participate beside denying something right for me. >> that is outrageous, no one is told why it is there, in most times, the person did nothing

wrong. >> i don't know exactly what happened and we need an investigation, talking to members of the common sense caucus in city hall, they are outraged by this, we will be calling on mayor eric adams to investigate this thoroughly. i have my opinions about what happened, we don't know until we have a thorough investigation and it must happen. >> ashley: teachers union leaders criticizing republicans for bringing teachers into the middle of culture war, it played out as a senate town hall hosted by bernie sanders last night. watch this. >> we have a shortage of basic dignity, shortage of respect for the people who have dedicated their lives to educating american students. add to it, being thrust into the center of the culture wars and they are being subjected to out right attacks from the far right for simply taking on the

responsibility. >> ashley: teachers union president randi weingarten took the stage amid her opposition with ron desantis, neither crt was mentioned during the town hall. >> todd: a maine mother says her daughter wadvised to wear a breast binder and to not tell her parents. >> who did not feel like our own bodies -- putting kids on path of gender transition -- >> your time is up. >> i will ask that you stick to issues at hand and not do speculation around health and well being at this meeting. >> todd: the mother demanding

action, amber lavine is here. a chest binder is a medical device used to flatten breasts in females who are uncomfortable with the appearance of their chest. the timeline is important here. walk us through what happened. >> sure. so early december, i found a breast binder in my daughter's bedroom. i expressed concern about this, they agreed and expressed grave concern and they scaled back and defended the social worker. >> have you heard from the school since? >> not really other than the letters that the school board has released to the public. >> todd: here is the problem, this should be an issue for you and your daughter, your daughter and your family to work through together. why would a social worker want to keep that a secret from you,

this girl's mom? >> yeah, it doesn't make a lot of sense to me. when you work with children in a school setting as a social worker, you don't just work with kids, you work with kids and their families. i was cut out of the conversation, she was encouraged to keep a secret and it drove a wedge between us. >> todd: how is your daughter doing? >> i don't want to speak too much to my daughter's well being, i want to respect her private, that is important here. >> todd: agree on that. if she wanted to transition as an adult, would you have a problem with that? >> i would have concerns, but at the end of the day, she's my kid, i will support her through her life's journey and that is her journey, i'm part of it, but it's her journey. i would support her. >> todd: you said the key thing,

you want to help support your daughter. so what you're saying is as a parent, you should be part of the support process for your kid, which seems to be something not just schools in maine are trying to do away with, but schools throughout the country are trying to do away with. can you come up with any reason why? >> i can'ts, it doesn't make a lot of sense to me. i wish i could. including families in decisions like this was always common sense. no, i don't understand. >> todd: at the meeting, what did you make of people that were standing up for your position, parents who want to have some say in what their children do, what do you make of them being shushed? >> you know, as school board, you are there to listen to concerned taxpayers, i think the meeting was disrespectful,

disgraceful. i was watching two members in particular like rubbing their faces in experation listening to people speak. your job is to hear them out and listen to what they have to say. >> todd: at the end of the day, schools are there to educate kids. parents are parents of -- wait for it, kids. if the school board is not working in the best interest of students and inner pas, who are they working for? >> yeah, i'm concerned about that for sure. i'm not really sure, but they definitely seem to be backing the superintendent, the principal and the social worker in this situation. i try to reach out via e-mail, i am ignored or told i have to go a different route to communicate. it doesn't make sense. >> todd: you run a mental health

services business and work with trans/* transitioning individuals. >> i work with adults, i can't come up with a reason as to why they would keep parents in the dark. >> todd: we wish you the best of luck, we know this is not an easy situation for you and you are doing what you think is in the best interest of your daughter and that is your right as a mom, we wish you the best and wish your daughter the best during this difficult time. thank you so much, we appreciate it. >> todd: former national intel director james clapper says he never said hunter biden's laptop was russian disinformation, but we have the receiptses, as the kids say.

teddy bears and wine. mark griffin president of bnr store joining us now, thank you for being with us this morning. happy valentine's day. candy costs are up, cards are up, flowers, giftses, everything that has to do valentine's day, how are you navigating around this? >> we've had to raise prices quite a bit again for the second year unfortunately, we've seen a fairly large increase even this year in costs, sugar and corn syrup and lollipops, they are up between 40 and 50% and packaging is starting to stabilize and we are seeing fairly large inflation, we contracted for the whole year, it will not abate

any time soon. >> ashley: when you talk about supply chain issues, mark, places like your business rely on this day, you have this grocery store with flowers and the bakery has inflation and the mere fact there has been supply chain issue caused you problems? >> absolutely, not unlike larry, this is the second year that we've been severely impacted by both inflation and the supply chain issues, while we're able to meet customer needs, it's been quite a struggle compared to pre-inflationary times. >> ashley: what has been the biggest struggle, getting people into the store or getting them to buy the amount they used to? >> not so much buying the amount they used to, i think the consumer is changing dramatically, because economic

factors are impacting them and it is showing up in purchasing habits in stores. >> ashley: who do you think consumers will skip on, candy, flowers? what are you see something >> we're a factory, we have a small store and ship out to a lot of stores and what we're seeing in past, we have not seen drop off in candy sales. this environment is different. i don't know with this high inflation, in my 23 years i've never experienced inflation like this, i don't know what the effect will be on consumers and whether they will purchase it but les often or change be haits, we're hoping they do continue to purchase it, it is relatively inexpensive treat compared to more expensive purchases, we're hoping it will

pass through. >> ashley: valentine's day is special for a lot of people and i can only imagine the candy and flowers you guys sell, hope everything will be okay and people will get their sweethearts something like they would any other day. larry and mark, thank you and good luck to you. i hope you sell all the candy. >> thank you. >> todd: i fell well below the average of 190, i did not hit that $190 mark. >> ashley: you still have time. american people can't get an answer from our president about the flying objects shot down over our country. fox has exclusive information to bring you. >> todd: and three people dead and five in critical condition after a shooting at michigan state university. michigan congressman is here live next.

it is not surprising that you would see the state police engaged, that is the state capital in lansing. it would make sense to have michigan state police there. >> ashley: congressman, i need your thoughts on the fact he was a 43-year-old man, the suspect, which makes it bizarre, police say he wasn't a student and had no affiliation with the university. this doesn't align with what we typically see in these situations. >> that was the disturbing thing, hearing that, as well, no connection, it is not like he was aggrieved from fellow students or a prof, he picked a place where people were. that is the evil behind shootings, going and seeking out

the innocent that have no connection to you and obviously we don't know his motive or mental health state or why he would be doing this, that gives it an extra element of jarring to most people as seeing that, not having that motive understood. >> todd: we are praying for your great state. the senate set to receive a briefing today on unidentified objects that brought the u.s. army to basically have to shoot it down over our country. defense secretary lloyd austin had this message yesterday. listen. >> i want to reassure americans these objects do not present a military threat to anyone on the ground. they do, however, present a risk to civil aviation and potentially intelligence collection threat and we'll get to the bottom of it. >> todd: not a military threat,

does that response from lloyd austin satisfy you, congressman? >> i have not received a response that has been satisfactory yet and that is whether in the classified briefings or in the unclassified briefings. this is really frankly unprecedented and when can we point to we have a live fire of munition above u.s. skies in the modern era? i can't come up with when that example would be and neither can they. this is not normal, this is simply not normal. we need more explanation, that is why you have seen it on a bipartisan base, republicans, democrats and us on the northern border, i have interaction with my canadian parliamentarian

friends. norad is tasked with keeping north american skies safe and clearly that isn't happening when we have these incursions. >> ashley: what else is not normal, but the biden administration is trying to normalize, the lack of transparency, especially in this situation it is deafening, so why won't the president get up and tell us exactly what is happen something >> yeah, there has been four incidents and he's personally not said a thing. this is highest ranking person, lloyd austin, getting up there. i'm sorry, having spokes peopl john kirby is not elected by anybody, that is not acceptable to the public. we have to hear from the president about what is going on

and is this the new doctrine? shoot down stuff we don't know what it is? different at 60's,000 feet versus 20,000 feet. had we not shot them down before? why are we doing so now? this seems like a policy based on the public relations side, not really policy. >> todd: all lucas tomlinson was told on sunday, that thing cost $400,000 and we have no idea where the first missile landed. >> you broke that story and it has a lot of us wondering where did the missile go? did he shoot it toward canada? did he shoot it down lake huron?

north? three different directions other than toward michigan and that thing was at least headed toward canadian air space and water. add to the list of questions people have. >> todd: i feel like the leaders are keystone copping this. leaders have questions to answer. think canman, thank you for your time and insight. a ninth dead whale just washed up on the jersey shore and experts believe green energy products are to blame. >> ashley: christian organization is responding to aoc after she called their super bowl ad fascist. cheryl casone will be here to talk about it.

contributing to whale fatality. a group called clean action say the alarming number of deaths, only unique factor from previous years, expensive scope of offshore wind power plant activity in the region. so jazzed up about green projects and green energy and you have nine dead whales. >> ashley: they said it was too soon to tell if that is what it was caused by. what else has changed? >> cheryl: a lot of times, where there is smoke, there is fire. come on. >> todd: i've done stories with the fishery community and they have been talking about how windmills are hurting fish and that was in 2018. >> cheryl: remember when wind turbines were getting blamed for deaths, and we are not talking about that anymore. >> todd: aoc with one of the

>> ashley: outkick host tomi lahren joins us now. he did not verbally express any concern about this derailment and what is happening in ohio, but he did tweet later on finally he to waited he continue to be concerned about the impacts of the february 3rd train derailment near east palestine and the effects on families and the 10 days since their lives were up ended through no faulted of their own. is he forgetting he is the transportation secretary? he is obviously concerned with white guys in hard hats. >> yeah. transportation secretary sends us a tweet when there are americans that are concerned for the safety of themselves and their family members and their pets. we get a tweet from our transportation secretary. you know, guys, we talk about this administration all the time and not studying for the test. i would say it's much worse than that they are refusing to even take the test. when pete talks about things like racial disparity and diversity and racism over and over again, i don't believe it's because he is truly concerned about those things. i think it's because he doesn't

want to do his actual job. when you talk about feelings and emotions and when you race bait continually, you don't actually have to solve any problems. you just convince everybody that they're an oppressor or they are a victim and you don't have to do your actual job. that's what we are seeing yet again not only with pete buttigieg, with this biden administration as a whole. there is a lack of transparency. there is a lack of true caring and understanding for what the measure people are going through. it's at the point now where it is blatantly obvious and it is completely unacceptable. >> todd: this is a very serious story. the environment situation in this area is so concerning to the people who live there the pets. i don't mean to make light of it. i love these two facts together. you don't hear anything, tomi, from any of the environmentalists, the wind mill, solar panel crew. but who do you hear from? far left squad member ilhan omar actually ripping buttigieg's response writes, quote: east
