now in the u.s. government about how exactly it started. there is just not just not in the intelligence community consensus. >> ashley: white house karine jean-pierre document assertions that leave the lab leak theory or conspiracy theorist. listen. >> there was not so long ago a point where anyone asking questions, whether a lab leak was a credible theory which we looked into. a lot of those people were divided as french, conspiracy theorist. are there lessons learned about how we discussed theories when we don't have all of the answers? >> the president's commitment to get to the bottom of this peer that is the most important so we can share this with congress, we can share this with the american people. right now, there is no consensus. >> a within the u.s. intelligence committee. dr. anthony fauci speaking

yesterday he sees no evidence. listen. >> we must keep an open mind as to all possibilities the date of the evolutionary neurologist have submitted and published in journals. but strongly suggest it was an actual occurrence. there appears to be obviously a disagreement. you have to look at the data and i don't see data for a lab leak. >> china's foreign affair ministry pushing back on the energy department's findings of stirring up arguments about the lab leak theory, ashley, todd. >> todd: senator tom conti responded to the media after they called in a conspiracy theorist for a addressing the lab leak. >> a conspiracy of silence among the left whether the liberal media trying to silence me, others making the basic points or democratic politicians like joe biden, nancy pelosi saying we are racist, xenophobic and

then you had msnbc, cnn and all the rest piling on. then you have people come of the government like tony fauci as you pointed out earlier adding fuel to this conspiracy of silence trying to squelch the party line and i want to remind everyone that both of these points basic common sense. anyone could look at the fact and say this virus most likely came from that lab. >> todd: another fox news alert the o over the house oversight committee to testify as part of investigation into hunter biden and the biden family business. the panel accusing to block request for information on certain biden family transactions. this hearing will examine justifications provided the committee with treasures failure for document request and with suspicious activity reports. that is set to take place march 10th. >> ashley: less than two hours

[indistinct]

>> they are doing this with all the inmates in the jail? and they are being that aggressive? >> yes. >> that reporter prime time with jesse watters with the implications. >> it would be ironic at best if mayor lightfoot makes the runoff due to the jail vote. considering, she has literally made chicago and on throughout the for nothing but violent crime. >> this being the latest in a string of scandals throughout lightfoot's time in office as you probably know and as the crime crisis rages, she is criticized for soft-on-crime policies by people in chicago since the inauguration. under her white chicago police officer has emerged 19% of its officers as specifically violent

crimes that have soared in her city. guys, back to you. speed to jackie ibanez thank you. illinois to make chicago business owners hire their own armed security detail. democrat thaddeus jones says by july 1st "banks, pawnshops, grocery stores, gas stations and municipalities with population more than 2 million people must employ and have on the premises at least one guard during the hours they conduct business. small business owners are calling the bill ludicrous thing they cannot afford to add security to their payroll. >> i'm not happy. it is not necessary. the cost of doing business has to go up. and we try as much as we can. but you have to be in business. speed to the proposal comes as crime surges in with murders and theft of 35% a motor vehicle theft up a whopping 139%.

>> todd: in oakland, california, the effect of rise in crime with a new grocery store designed with barricades, antitheft doors and receipt standards. >> customers must leave through designated efforts and scan receipt when leaving the store which allows the doors to open. >> todd: oakland, california, business resident sarah joins us but do you feel like you are the one treated like a prisoner in your own community even though you've done absolutely nothing wrong? >> good morning, thank you for having me on the show. i don't feel that way, but i do see the difference, walking into these grocery stores here there is a different vibe when you walk in. but it is good, good for the community and this type of system needs to be put in place to deter any type of theft. >> ashley: you said there is a different vibe. what do you see when you walk in and what would it l look like to

go to the grocery store right now? >> there is a little bit of confusion when you walk in and see something you are not used to. you try to get a sense of what is going on. all eyes are on you with security guards. and so some confusion, but you know, i think in the long run, it is good. people will be used to it. it is a plus, a positive thing for the community and for the store. >> todd: interesting, because at the end of the day, you want to be safe above all else. and you don't want to be in a situation where criminals feel like they can run free. so i understand your point there but my overall point why is the law-abiding citizen have to change their behavior? why doesn't california arrest and prosecute shoplifters who were causing stores like this safe way to enact these measures and forced customers like you to have to deal with them? >> that is the sign of the times. things are changing.

you can look back, for example, misdemeanors for shoplifting crimes. anything below $950. so, i think that has a lot to do with it. and coming to these types of calls has frequent have a lot to do with it. so, we are seeing the backlash of what is going on i believe. >> ashley: it sounds like you absolutely support this. this has went on forever and you would be okay with it especially when you see the uptick in crime in your area. you were talking about security guards when you walked in. are they armed? off-duty police officers? do you know? do they look like they would deter crime? >> i didn't notice if they were armed with any weapons. but just having their presence there is a deterrent for the

robbers and would be shoplifters. i did speak with a couple of employees, and they were all for the system in place. and the store manager as well told me she has seen a drop. >> todd: as for the people armed, the police officers, a lot of the uptick in shoplifting really took off following the summer of 2020, defund the police movement really taking effect, taking hold. if there were cops on the streets in general and the communities and defunded the way they have been over the course of the last three years, they would be able to go after shop lifters like this so some of this wouldn't be necessary come again understanding it is necessary in light of the current situation? >> well the funding, if there is not enough money to hire police officers, that is the issue. we went all right, you are doing

the right thing there, law-abiding citizen going to work every day trying to earn a living. i am happy that you feel safe in this but i feel bad for you folks there. you have to deal with it but that is the reality. >> thank you, i appreciate that. that is all across the nation. >> todd: i can't disagree with you there, you are 100% right. order governor ron desantis with decades long reign and the company is under the control of state board order to pay back $700 million. now, today the state of florida for the first time since 1967, disney low longer has its own government. they will have to abide by the same laws as everybody else. they will finally pay their fair share of taxes and pay all the debts they have racked up over these decades. >> todd: kovner desantis a five-member board to oversee the corporate kingdom to an end.

let's kick this off with a joke on $700 million, appear at ha ha ha, disney. but this is all about fairness at the end of the day. disney will be treated like all other theme parks in that area. they won't have an advantage but the bigger issue, actually, the taxpayers and citizens of florida won't have to subsidize the progression to woke that disney has become over the course of the last couple of years. if you are a disney taxpayer going to work paying your taxes you shouldn't have to fund multi-gender barbie. multidigit gender mickey, minnie. that shouldn't be where your tax dollars go. >> ashley: you can't even keep up with it. they are changing for stuff all the time. i do think in getting back to the days of resetting the nonsense that doesn't make sense with disney being its own entity and the refresh disney needs and in the long run they will be satisfied in some people right

now might be like you know what i don't like this idea, especially people at disney i'm sure they are not too happy this morning. but i think a huge move for desantis and getting back to the bases. he said getting back to what walt disney wanted and the first place so kind of going back to the old days, that is what they wanted but another big take away i had from this is that there will be term limits on this new board. i can't stress how important term limits will be. members of the oversight board can't have someone contracted by the disney in the last three years. he almost said and why should disney get special treatment when no one else does? really the only people i can think of that gets this astronomical treatment. it has never made sense to me and obviously the more we dive into this, that doesn't make sense for the people. >> todd: the only one i can think of is the vatican, their

own governance with insight another country. the vatican inside italy but to your point, this is not normal. you want a corporation to decide to go woke, that is your right but those corporations are funded by taxpayer dollars which is what the subsidy that went through ultimately at the end of the day was. this is better for employees subject to the laws of disney fiefdom and better from a safety perspective because now you have florida rules and regulations controlling not just disney rule and regulation and i understand at the end of the day, you want the governing board of florida to be -- >> ashley: you couldn't have said it better. we will talk to brian kilmeade this morning live from florida. he just spoke with the governor and he's having breakfast with friends at the metro diner. in i am sure a lot of people come i'm interested to see what they are going to say since obviously it would affect them

controlled company of the ccp and also the ccp company they have some degree of proxy control over what happens on the platform and how it is used. so i think they certainly have a vested interest in pulling our kids down and promoting their own children. >> ashley: aggressively exporting heroin and how addictive for these tiktok kids. for american children or using american tiktok app for the ip come i guess commit is linked to the ip address. can they access any app like that that is more educational? >> there is parental controls on tiktok itself so you can theoretically propose the same boundaries and how used and how often. parents can do that but in terms of the actual content, you don't have a lot of control over that because the algorithms. so i would recommend by and large as your kids delete tiktok commit is not good for the time they spent and they free

and jan z -er i think having a limit and be mindful how you use it is a good thing. all parents impose that. >> ashley: your screen term was up or down and i go back to think, what app was i on and where can i limit? i hope parents watching really do have control and oversight on what their kids are doing because it can be dangerous, like you said, completely mind-numbing. so concerning to see china has more of the educational avenue on their app than we have dancing. >> todd: vandals to face christopher columbus memorial statute in central park yesterday. you can see right there the words murder painted onto the pedestal of the 131-year-old statute. it is barricaded as the police and investigate this incident. unclear if the suspects

this is how far away the kennels are from the main house, et cetera, et cetera. >> todd: at the end of the day it is complicated criminal trials but in reality they come down to one simple thing, right, was reasonable doubt presented by the defense? and i think my humble opinion is that the two shooter theory really did put reasonable doubt in the minds of the jurors. what is your take? >> i think the defense witness yesterday made a very, very good point. there have been some talk, a lot of talk about that prior to his testimony about there being two shooters because two different guns. certainly, that put evidence that could put reasonable doubt in the jurors minds. >> ashley: the blood splatter expert through me for a loop we were talking about during the break. with alex taking the stand,

mr. murdaugh taking the stand did it hurt him getting off of these charges or help? >> i think it hurt him and helped him. because he gets up and says, "i've lied about all of these things." it paints the picture the prosecutor wanted to paint that it was a perfect storm and coming to a screeching halt and being revealed. but on the other hand him testifying was something that i believe the jurors wanted to hear from the defendant. he had to take the stand in order to explain why he did not tell the truth about being at the kennels during that instagram kennel video. >> todd: i admitted to all these lies, but the one thing and not admitting to his killing my family. obviously, that is the strategy and we will see if it works out. that is the defense approach. the prosecution approached him they focused on motive and the

financial. hitting that point acknowledge him. do you think they spent too much time on the motive and not enough time on the forensics, quite frankly the defense has done, i don't want to say masterful because that gives them too much credit but a pretty good job manipulating the forensic information and data to their own end? >> you know, i've heard a lot about people saying that the state took too much time on the financial crimes. but i think this case is so complex and so many moving parts that really unless they hear every detail that the state put out there on the financial crimes, it wasn't just you commit a financial crimes allegedly so perhaps this is what led to it. it was his family name could possibly be destroyed however long it was that he was committing these financial crimes could be revealed by a

lawsuit and being sued personally. it was a lot of things happening at the same time that allegedly led up to these crimes. >> ashley: susan, do you think we will get a verdict soon? because as you said, so complex and so many webs to this case that it is hard to keep track of what is going on unless you are with it every single day. >> yeah, i think the end is near and when that will be remains to be seen. but you know, we will hear from four replay witnesses from the state. and then the jury will visit the scene and the closing arguments. so, we could get to jury deliberation this week, may be. >> todd: we will see. obviously so much attention on this case. i don't want to say it reaches

observed and disturbing conclusion? the only thing i can think about is they profoundly are ignorant of real history and the history of communism and they, themselves are communists. and i believe it is both. communism is not asian. it is imported from europe. from its conception come communism has claimed more than 1,100,000,000 lives and most of them are asian spirit in china alone, killed up to 80 million chinese. and that does not include more than 400 million babies through forced abortion and because of their policy. communism brought so much suffering to people in all asian countries. and you think we love communism?

it is absolutely not only absurd, it is illegal. it is so important we teach communism to our children and to american public in general because communism is here, here in america. the reason that so many people do not recognize this as marxism as communism is because they do not know what real communism is. and i think we have to teach american people in general the danger of communism and the threat that is posed to america. >> todd: you said it perfectly right there. joe mobley is also a virginia parent, father of four and also a veteran. thank you for your service, joe. she alluded to it. why are democrats are worried about children being educated about the dangers of communism?

>> it seems that they are just fearful of students to know actual history while actively trying to repeat the mistakes of the past. they are actively trying to infuse the public education system with marxism. they don't want them to know about how it has been in the past. they are saying it is racist and anti-asian which is literally absurd because it has led to the death of millions of asians, communism but they don't want that fact. >> todd: do you know one asian american in your experience that has complained about this kind of curriculum being taught to students? >> y yes, a lot, a lot. where i live, there are a lot of chinese/japanese parents and a lot of them are younger but they know the stories from their parents and grandparents of the

suffering. they know communism is a threat to america. >> todd: okay, so to be clear, they are not opposed to their students, their children learning about it but they want their children and students to learn about it so we don't make the same mistakes and repeat the same mistakes of our past, correct? >> yes. >> todd: okay, cool. let's move on to the second topic because if you thought that was insane listen to this the perfect school board calling the battle of hiroshima unfortunate and evil during the school school board meeting. >> just a few days ago, a remembrance, something to reflect on the days when road chima happened and set a record for human evil is capable of. >> todd: joe going to you as a veteran, hiroshima gave us the most iconic photo of world war ii. how can a board of education
