you all here. >> pete: it's great to see you as always and great to see my buddy griff. >> griff: great to be on the couch. i wonder if there are any surfers out there. looks like a little ripple in the water. there is a colonel there. >> pete: i believe that's snow on the ground. >> griff: it's okay. you got a wet suit. can you tough it out a half an hour. >> ainsley: what is the threshold. if it's under 10 degrees i'm not surfing today. >> griff: the older i get the shorter amount of time can i spend in cold water but, you know, prefer the tropics and warm. if the waves are there, you have got to go with what you got pete by the under 80. >> ainsley: are you excited. >> pete: i don't care if i never see snow again the rest of my life. >> griff: i'm going to catch a train if you can hold your snow off long enough for me to get out of town that would be great.

>> ainsley: train should be fine. it's the airlines. >> griff: usually the trains are more reliable than the snow. sometimes people freak out. the roads get clogged and airports get jammed up. who knows? >> ainsley: we talked a lot over the last three years after more than 1 million americans have died because of covid. it's hard to believe that was 3 years ago. this was breaking news over the weekend the u.s. energy tempt has concluded that covid most likely did come from a lab leak. different intelligence agencies have different theories on this. and they are the latest to agree with the fbi who does agree with this theory. >> >> griff: here's the cover of "the new york post." you can see here, it had to be wu. now, if you look at the headlines. the "wall street journal" got our attention. i tweeted it out. my goods in look at this. lab leak most likely origin of covid. the energy department joins the bureau of investigation says the virus likely spread during a mishap at a chinese laboratory.

four other agencies, along with the national intelligence panel still judge it was likely the natural transmission and two undecided. the energy department's conclusion result of new negligence and significant because the agency has specific considerable expertise and overseas the network of international laboratories some of which conduct advanced biological research. >> pete: energy department now admitting what you and your neighbor knew about three years ago that if there was a gain of function lab in wuhan far more likely emanated from that than from a bat virus inside a wet lab. tom cotton tweeted out there is a facility got this virus. look at the lab. from the beginning he was deemed misinformant. anyone who posited the theory

that it could have come from the lab was it and disinformant. media condemning one point of view. comes out six months later, two months later, three years later at this point. no, that turns out to likely be true as confirmed by our energy department and our fbi. i know different agencies have different assessments, but, with this creation in charge for them to take this stance, they must feel like they have new intelligence that's pretty solid. and i mentioned tom cotton. well, he could have tweeted anything out like nanna nanna boo boo i was right. china's lab leak being proven right doesn't matter. what matter is holding the chinese communist party accountable so it doesn't happen again. >> ainsley: that's what republicans are now doing. they say we need accountability. they were tre tweeting after ths came out. tom cotton was demonized almost in february of, i think it was february of 2020 when he wrote that article. and he was basically mentioning

the possibility of a lab leak. and "the washington post" and the "new york times" continued to accuse him of repeating a fringe theory. and he was canceled by a lot of social media but social media, a lot of the big networks. some scientists. democrats, they were all saying this lab leak theory is completely debunked. it's misinformation. this is what congressman jim jordan tweeted out. so the government caught up to what real america knew all along. >> pete: kind of my point. like it seemed so self-evident. you just wanted your agencies to dig into it like they would dig into anything else. okay, this looks like a plausible theory. let's go find out because we deserve to know where all tartside. sit down, believe it came from bats. which set us back in our ability to hold china accountable. to china was setting the terms of this discussion, superficially international bodies. griff griff they got help with our own folks here at home. ainsley, to your point, about

what happened to tom cotton. remember the lance sit. the premier medical journal, the "new york times" all medical studies all by the summer of 2020 just half a year into understanding or trying to understand what was happening was saying that anybody who said it was anything other than natural origins were anti-chinese racist they blamed it on white toxic masculinity. set a narrative that was prevailing -- >> ainsley: whats what the reason? why were they so adamant? griff gri get out there and create a native for which this administration has adhered to. you heard nfc adviser jake sullivan wouldn't even confirm this study by the energy department which by the way is classified. i wish we could get it out there so people could see. that's why the newly presidential qana democrat vivek ramaswamy says you need accountability not just for

china but those putting that narrative out there. here is what he said next revolution thr. there are pro two prongs of accountability. >> one for china and ccp tried to sweep this under the rug. the u.s. needs to lead the way in holding china accountable. we only have moral standing to hold china accountable if we hold those accountable here at home that purposefully evaded u.s. constraints on gain of function research to any way go through the back door and do it abroad anyway. that starts at home and then we have the ability to deliver accountability to the chinese communist party. also a lesson in free speech and open debate having prevented us to getting to the answer schooner. if we don't learn from our mistakes we will keep repeating them. that's the lesson of today. >> pete: he gave the why. we had our own top level officials involved in this type of research. they didn't want people to know that they collaborated with the chinese to cover it up.

>> ainsley: we want to know so this doesn't happen again. we can't forget. this all of our worlds were rocked by. this so many people died. families were to be apart. we couldn't even go to funerals for our loved ones. jake sullivan, you are right the national security adviser. he said there is not a definitive answer from the intel community because they all have different opinions, the fbi, the energy department stand on this wuhan lab leak. the cia and another agency that officials won't name because it is classified information, they remain undecided about the lab leak or natural transmission theories. steve griff grift energy department by the way gave a statement to fox news digital saying the department of energy continues to support the thorough, careful and objective work of our intelligence officials in investigating the origins of covid-19 as the president directed. we will see much more on that clout throughout the morning. president joe biden facing backlash as he plans to discuss healthcare in virginia tomorrow but still has no plans to visit east palestine, ohio, where

i will read it to you. over the controversy of the parental rights in the education bill was coming to a head. chapek called me. that's the then ceo of disney. he did not want disney to get involved but he was getting a lot of pressure to weigh in against the bill. we get pressured all the time, chapek told desantis. according to the governor's book. but this time is different. i haven't seen anything like this before. >> pete: ouncely, this is pretty revealing. this reveals what he was saying publicly was a lot different than what he was saying privately to desantis because he was getting a ton of pressure from the left. >> ainsley: right. he eventually lost his job and they brought back bob iger because the stock was mum melg people saying they were not going to disney anymore. they were upset about this. privately when he is talking to ron desantis. he is saying i'm getting a lot of pressure. i have never experienced anything like this. almost to say i don't want to do this but i feel like i need to because of all the pressure. then he told shareholders that

he talked to ron desantis on march 9th and he urged him not to sign the bill which restricts schools from teaching gender and sexuality to children kindergarten through 3rd grade. i called desantis this morning to express our disappointment and concern. not what it sounded like, right? if the legislation becomes a law it could be used to target gay, lesbian nonbinary and transgender kids in families, he said. >> pete: if we take these accounts at their word, then he understood that disney shouldn't be weighing in on this. certainly a mischaracterized don't say gay bill which was not what it was about at all is not in step with the ethos of disney or how they viewed it. activists inside and out the company have won the day. what has been the consequences. a lot less disney and disney plus. >> griff: victory for desantis is that politicians, for whatever party you are in,

really win when they speak for those that don't have a voice. this is yet another battle where parents didn't have a voice for what their children are being taught. and he stood up and that is why there was such the reaction in that battle. >> good point. >> desantis was on life, liberty and levin last night. here is a little of what desantis said. >> talk about things with like the young kids and with disney. and i see that not just the eyes ever a governor but also through the eyes of a dad. we have a 6, 4, and 2-year-old at home. we just believe as parents we should be able to send our kids to school, have them watch cartoons without having somebody's sexual agenda shoved down their throats. when this issue came up with the sexualization of the curriculum of course in florida we think that's inappropriate. you know what? republican, democrat, independent parents agree with us overwhelmingly but this was something that the left tried to spin up, the media tried spin

up. and then disney, i think, mistakenly got involved with that and, do you know what? the left was smart to try to pressure disney because for 60 years in the state of florida, they have gotten every single thing they want from the state of florida until i became governor. >> ainsley: his book comes out tomorrow. it will be a best seller i am predicting. harper collins is the publisher. called the courage to be free. florida's blueprint for american revival as you said. it's an excellent title, isn't it? we saw him open up that state after covid and so many people flocking there. >> pete: exactly right. track record has been disney gets what disney asks for or demands. ainsley: so powerful. >> pete: push the envelope on this and ran into someone who represented the will of the people, parents, viewers and others. >> griff: i'm still stuck he said at the beginning of the soundbite the parent of a 6, 4, and 2-year-old and able to be the governor of florida and lead them through so many challenges. that's pretty impressive. i remember when my kids are 6,

4, and 2. >> pete: 6 and 2 dark ages. >> ainsley: brian went down to the governor's mansion. bun of the children were sitting in the punch bowl in the dining room. fun chaos. incredible and his wife battled cancer and doing well now. they have gone through it. >> griff: indeed. looking forward to read that book. >> ainsley: perfect example of the bureau of business don't get involved in politics. >> pete: a lesson like there is no need at all. create your product, let people have fin at this for what are it is. >> ainsley: isolate 50% of your customers. we have heard from residents who have had their lives uprooted because of this catastrophe in east palestine. dr. marc siegel is live on the ground in ohio. >> griff: plus, will lori lightfoot keep her job by singing and kansasing through chicago's crime ridden streets. we have the polls showing dancers might be dancing to a different tune ♪ come on ♪ baby, don't you want to go

you have been saying that you have been drinking only bottled water. what's going on with your well? >> well, we are very concerned because we are closer to the water way to leslie run. so, obviously with the let-off from the chemicals from the dramentd and burn that's in the air. we are not getting clear and concise answers. what is the chemical that we are seeing in that waterway that is creating that residue that was killing the fish. and this is something for folks who are not from town. this is new. this is not normal. this is not something that was there before. we have lived here for 22 years where we are at now. we have lived in east palestine for 25. we are both avid outdoor people. this is not normal. we are concerned that that is what is making its way into our wells. >> ruffle, what about long-term effects? we're worried about vinyl chloride being in the soil and the water. there is a million gallons of con tame nateed water try trying

i don't know who "we" is but it certainly wasn't him. >> do you want to see him now? >> no, no. i shouldn't say that we will take any help we can get. within this town, no matter your political affiliation or views are, we need help and we need answers. >> you need help. >> and we need answers. >> griff, back to you. >> pete: thank you, doctor. toss it over to to ashley strohmier who has few additional headlines for us. >> ashley: start with the crisis at the southern border. two people are dead and five others hurt after a high speed crash with border patrol agents in texas. border agents say they tried to stop the vehicle saturday morning when it took off, slamming into a light pole, cutting it in half. the identities of the victims have not been released as thousands of criminals, including some from ms-13 and 1 pour into el salvador new prison. the prison claims to be imimpossible to escape 37 guard towers and 8 cellblocks.

>> what may be the final super speedway race ever in southern california. >> rpr baby. >> goes to kyle busch. >> well, the means bush has snagged at least one victory in 1 straight seasons a new nascar record. >> pete: a great race. a washington state teacher wants more authority, get, this to help kids keep secrets from their parents, claiming students aren't safe from their christo-fascist -- christian fastist parents next parent submitted a public records request on that teacher in hopes that the district will look into practices. independent women's forum senior fellow nicole solace joins us now. nicole, thank you so much for being here. what we put on the screen is part of your request. you saw tweets of a teacher in the school saying we need to do more to hide things from

students christian parents? given breast binder or suspect sit sex name and told to keep it a secret. teacher going to be social media and publicly saying that she wants to keep secrets from school. this is now easier for a lot of parents to identify the teachers that are dangerous to our kids that term crypto fascist. i have never heard of that. i don't know what the heck that means. i think this is just another slur like racist, white supremacist, insurrectionist that is demonizing parents who refused to be state enforcers of woke ideology that targets children. so, you know, i submitted a records request that tweet alone is not enough i think for a school to investigate her. i am hoping that my records request will uncover information to show that she might be doing something wrong at school if she is keeping dispreets parents.

what is especially egregious about this her school actually has explicit policy saying that you cannot have secrets between teachers and students. >> pete: we're going to put up that policy because it's a very important point. the auburn school district has what's called boundary invasion issues. when you look at it, this makes a lot of sense. this is the type of thing schools should have. you can't have personal secrets with a student. you can't talk to the students about the student's personal problems to the extent that the adult becomes a confidante when it's not the adult's job to do so meaning the teacher. you can't talk to students about sexual topics not related to a specific curriculum. you can't use email, text messaging, social networking sites to discuss personal topics or interests with students. the school district seems to have the right policy the teacher doesn't like i that and you are trying to expose that exactly. we should give the school district credit for having this policy. this is anti-grooming policy.

it's about time we found a school district actually on the side of parents. i'm hoping it's just a teacher that is not on the side of parents. and what's important about that list is it is so explicit on behaviors that are prohibited between teachers and students. every school district should have a policy about this. so that why know exactly what you can and cannot do with students and there is -- >> pete: the boundary issues guidance. out there run a school something to look into. teachers like this want more secrecy and thankfully nicole solace, thanks for pushing back on this. let us know when you get that records request by the way. we would love to see whether a it shows. we reached out to the school by the way and have not heard back. nicole, thank you very much. >> thank you. >> pete: you got it. coming up, watch out, rihanna, these grannies shine bright like a diamond. the stars of the super awesome the stars of the super awesome supe to sleep, so when our r bowlwindshield cracked, we needed it fixed right.
