blinken. >> brian: rich edson joins us live from the white house. >> good morning, steve, ainsley and brian. top two american adversaries are promising a new world order to challenge the west as chinese president xi jinping wraps up his official state visit to moscow in meeting with russian president vladimir putin. they have agreed to stronger economic ties, largely that involves more russian energy going to china. more chinese companies investing in russia. russia has been walled off from much of the world economy allies like japan have imposed heavy sanctions on russia since it reinvaded ukraine a year ago. for month as the west shunned russia. china and president xi kept distance from putin now they are embracing. >> i wouldn't go so far to call it an appliance. yesterday i called it a marriage of convenience. that's what i think it is. president xi, president putin sees a potential backer here. he needs help from president xi

and that's what this was all about. >> as xi departed moscow earlier today he told putin, quote: change is coming that hasn't happened in 100 years and we are driving this change together. please take care, dear friend. the white house says it's monitoring whether china is going to send weapons to russia. kirby says the u.s. has seen no indication china is about to provide lethal weapons. though he also says if china wants to play constructive role here in the conflict, they should tell russia to pull its troops from ukraine. here in washington, secretary of state antony blinken will be in front of two se committees toda. officially these are hearings about the budget request for the state department but senators can ask whatever they want. absolutely touch on this subject. back to you guys. >> brian: thanks so much, rich. the secretary of state got to understand the reason is he going to feel a lot of pressure today is because china is everywhere. and a lot of it is because we are not. central and south america, china's presence is everywhere. what is happening in the middle

east? they are beginning to negotiated with all our so-called allies in the area. even though they have questionable governments in the uae and saudi arabia. they traditionally been in our camp. we have allowed others to move. in isolating israel. forcing them to act in many respects and then when you look at what is happening in china and russia. i get it. part of the reason why this works now because vladimir putin admits he is a junior partner. what china should realize and they probably do is they have a shell of a military and they bore to experience an offensive on the ukraine side, which could devastate vladimir putin and his troops unless china gets involved. the thing that would be concerning and reconfigure the entire west is if china does provide lethal weapons and as lindsey graham said on our couch yesterday, the european union needs a strategy of disinvestment in china almost immediately if they are to make moves like that. because they need the market. >> ainsley: blinken said if they're really committed to a cease-fire between ukraine and

china. then they would have peace talks or engage in peace talks with zelenskyy. that they should get ukraine involved. he is slamming china for providing diplomatic cover for putin. he is over there. he is meeting with putin. and the optics of that don't look good. >> steve: sure. >> brian: days after being named a war criminal warrants out for his arrest. >> steve: one of the things that has bothered us for the longest time china has been very opaque when it comes to exactly what was going down in the wuhan area a couple years ago when that -- the virus that killed 7 million people around the world started to take hold. so, there's this pbs special tonight over on your pbs channel. and the focus of it is dr. fauci. we have got a clip from tonight's show that shows that there were concerns a cure pell years ago whether or not it was a lab leak. remember, the u.s. energy

department, the fbi, they both say in this country it was a lab leak. there are other people who say it was not in the intel community. here is dr. fauci himself reacting to a question about it and notice his reaction he laughs there are a number of experiments that need to be done on viruses. how are you going to know whether or not they are capable of infecting humans unless you examine them. rand paul was insidiously throwing into his little questions that the work that was done in the wuhan lab funded by a small grant from nih, a strong implication that that created a virus that made covid. it would be molecularly impossible for them to turn it into sars co-v 2.

so different like you have a chevrolet and a motorcycle and you say i want to make that chevrolet into the motorcycle. no matter what you do to that chevrolet you are not going to make it into a motorcycle. >> steve: by the way the special ran last night. >> ainsley: also justified signing off on the taxpayer grants for the risky virus research done in china and he says, quote: these experiments need to be done. >> brian: perfectly willing to admit i'm not a molecular scientist but the ones that are said what he said is absolutely not true. the preponderance of the evidence says it can come from a lab and can be con structure ised and the motorcycle chevy analogy does not comport here. we have got to play that clip for dr. makary and others and see where that goes. i also wonder if he would have that much swagger if this was shot recently. i know he did this over the course of a couple of years. so was this shot recently? because now he is backing off a little.

now he is saying well, someone could have got in the wet market, went back to the lab i don't know because they left their lunch or alternative pairs of shoes went back in and then could have contaminated it. i'm very curious to see because yesterday's clip was also intriguing because he was walking the streets of washington, d.c. when he came across a young african-american man who challenged him about the -- about a lot of this pandemic axioms as well as a lot of his belief in the virus and he just walked away from it while whispering republicans don't want to be told what to do. >> steve: ultimately the essence of what he said though was he didn't make any mistakes because, ultimately, he made a lot of the decisions for the federal government, and according to him if mistakes were made not at the time was the knowledge, was the science. and when you listen to him talk a little bit about that -- look, it's molecularly impossible for

that to happen. i don't quite know exactly how he can say that. >> he allowed the pbs team to come in and do this documentary. allowed them into his house. he reported the house cost $2 million. there were -- there was all kind of memorabilia. see pictures of himself throughout the house. pillow and bobble heads. >> brian: there he is holding his head and wondering when rand paul is going to stop questioning him. unbelievable the ego he is. and i just feel as though i perfectly fits with the profile want cameras following him around for 23 months. talking about a small grant of $600,000 given to. >> a ih that went into the wuhan lab. we love to use the power and his fame to pressure the who and the wuhan lab to give us some answers. he has never -- as aggressive with them as is he with republicans' pushback and americans here and so-called misinformation on social media. i would just love that type of vigor against the people that perpetrated this disease and

still will not tell us what happened. >> steve: that's where we started talking about china being very opaque. meanwhile, the house select committee on the weaponization of the federal government looks like they are about halfway through their investigation. and they issued a and interim report. the talk we are going to talk about right now sent to the department of education how these parents are acting up in school board meetings and felt essentially they are terrorists. and something had to be done now, the committee, has issued part of their report. >> ainsley: this is what it says it is apparent that the biden administration misused federal law enforcement and counter-terrorism resources for political purposes. the justice department own documents demonstrate there was no compelling nationwide law enforcement justification for the attorney general's directive

or the department components execution thereof. it appears from these documents and information received previously that the administration's actions were a political offensive meant to scwel swelling discord over controversial education curricula and unpopular school board decisions. >> jim jordan he see him he ran the show. >> release this report on the school board on that whole issue. started about a year and a half ago. and one of the things the democrats said when the department of justice wouldn't use counter-terrorism measures against moms and dads. yes, they did. it's in our report. our interim report that comes out so, yeah. this is a scary direction the left wants to take the country. this was simply a case of moms and dads saying we have had with the woke curriculum. we have had with the mask man democrats. they show up at meetings. the school board association gets together with the biden

administration and say how can we use this in a political way to help terry mcauliffe win the virginia governor's race. that's what they did, backfired on them thank goodness in virginia and our report shows all of that. >> brian: this is what worries me. that report is there. he wants you to read and it scrutinize it. the question is will anybody else read and it scrutinize it except us? and will the rest of the media understand the significance of this because it's your kids, it's your school. it's the curriculum. it's the teachers, it's the focus and the fact is that parents can be targeted if they are vociferous or aggressive and no one wants to be aggressive. you can be emotional at a school board meeting and care but not if you risk the fbi knocking on your door. what bothers me most they denied it. this proves it was actually there and substance to it. also reminds me what james comer said over the last 48 hours, joe biden got caught lying. they are doing an investigation on what he was doing with china. they find bank records with the biden family over doing business and he just denies it. and there is no follow-up. so how do you get the weapons

meetings, and investigations into the mainstream to spur action? maybe you need all levers of power in washington to get that done school board association that got the ball rolling and i believe from what i have seen in open media. i believe the only time there was any law enforcement involved was when -- aside from what we saw down in loudoun county was when there were threats against public officials. >> all right. kel well, today could be the day for a trump indictment. we are still following that news. >> steve: or not. >> ainsley: or not. grand jury is going to convene at 2:00. ashley has this in her headline. >> ashley: good morning we are going to start with this update on potential indictment. sources tell fox news trump has not been formally notified about whether the manhattan d.a. plans to charge him in the case surrounding alleged hush money payments to stormy daniels. trump could be indicted today and at least one more witness is

expected to testify before the grand jury. the heads of several house committees all calling on manhattan d.a. alvin bragg to testify before congress bragg says, quote: we will not be intimidated by attempts to undermine the justice process nor will we let baseless accusations to deter us from fairly applying the law florida governor ron desantis well aware of the many nicknames former president trump has given him. watch. >> what is your gave hit nickname that trump has given you so far ron desanctimonious or meatball ron. even he went off meatball ron. >> i don't know how to spell desanctimonious. i don't know what it means. i kind of like it's long and a lot of vowels. so we can go with that that's fine. you can call me whatever you want. just as long as you, also call me a winner. because that's what we have been able to do is in florida is put a lot of points on the board and take the state to the next le

level. >> ashley: desantis still has not committed to a 2024 white house bid. he says if he does run, he could beat president biden. you can watch the entire interview tomorrow only on fox nation. home sales spikes 14.5% in january compared to february. the median price forever homes drops for the first time in 11 years. average price sold last month was $363,000. 2.2% lower year over year. the real estate market in silicon valley is among the hardest hit with those tech layoffs, recession fears and volatile stock market all coming into play. managers are happy to have employees back in the office but they are apparently seeing uptick in missing utensils. the "wall street journal" report ecofriendly practices are to blame for the lack of plastic forks and knives. and then metal forks and knives keep vanishing. leading the national truck lead to deputize themselves as the

hopefully we will be able to move on from this. >> ainsley: sometimes the voices of critics much louder than the people in your corner. how do you feel about your community there do you feel like you have more supporters. >> i think. so i think there were tons of supporters. always have one or two real big mouths that have nothing good to see and are just miserable people. everybody else, i would say it's a small community. everybody knows everybody. the great thing about that is i want went to high school with these guys. i have been coaching their kids for years. their kids are grown up. i have been part of their family for, you know, for years now. this is just going back home to where my friends, my family, my kids, my grandkids are there. so it's not a big move for us. >> ainsley: yeah. that's all you need, your family and surrounded by the people who do love you. have you had anyone come up to you and say, you know, i was a naysayer. i was one of those who said you shouldn't be praying in front of the team or out of school and then god changed my life and i agree with you now. >> i have ha whole bunch of people, especially at the

beginning when i actually had some people that would sit down and have these conversations with me. most of the time people never want to talk. they just want to be just motor mouths. they don't want to hear anything. their minds are closed and they are just ignorant to the facts of everything. but there has been a lot of times i have sat down with people, heard their side. they listened to my side. and then they end up going, wow, this isn't just a religious thing. >> this is a constitutional thing. they understand i'm not some, you know, really jesus freak kind of guy. i'm just the average guy that is out there wanting to support and defend the constitution and coach high school football. it seemed like a very simple ask. >> ainsley: you are not promoting violence. this is a prayer. a prayer of love and praying for all the students that you are coaching and praying for their future. >> exactly. >> ainsley: looking up to a higher power. all about love. >> yeah. >> ainsley: glad you got your job back. cob graduate labor relations. >> i look forward to sitting on that couch one of those days.
