glass and metal enclosure. his arms folded for most of the time and he did not speak. gershkovich is being held in a prison, former kgb facility traditionally brutally used during the soviet area to house accused spies which is exactly what the kremlin is accusing him of being. detention part of a sweeping crack down by putin amid the war in ukraine. now, last week the u.s. designated him as wrongfully detained so in essence that calls the spying charges against him politically driven. u.s. ambassador to russia also arrived to the courtroom today. yesterday she was able to pay her first visit to gershkovich since his march 29th arrest. she concluded a tweet with this, quote: he is in good health and remains strong. we reiterate our call for his immediate release so that #included there. right now russia is saying that a prisoner swap may be possible but only after a trial has concluded. and we know that could take months, if not a year, guys?

>> steve: and you can't figure that it's going to be fair. could wind up serving time and then there would be a prisoner swap of some sort. thank you very much. our president, joe biden has called the arrest totally illegal. former vice president mike pence has called on the biden administration to expel russian diplomats. ultimately though, it is just kind of hard to deal with russia while they -- because they are already running a war that we're steamed about. and it's not like they are listening to us about anything like this. >> pete: exactly. we also already made a trade that they think was a really good one, trading back a wmba player for viktor bout the merchant of death. plenty incentive to grab a innocent "wall street journal" reporter and another pawn on the board to trade for someone else. >> ainsley: we don't know who they would want traded in exchange for him. his family lives here in earthquake america. he loved livings there in russia and reporting on it for the

"wall street journal." folks at the "wall street journal" said he was accredited, he was, you know, well respected journalist over there and a young guy. is he very young. his parents, i believe, live in new jersey? was it new jersey or pennsylvania? >> steve: one or the other, here in the northeast. ultimately, he was just doing his job. he was there to tell people here in the united states and around the world through the circulation of the "wall street journal," what it's like in russia. russia didn't like that. >> problem is the whole free press thing is not really a russian thing. >> steve: it is not. so they grabbed him. killed two birds with one stone. get him off the street. he can't tell the truth. at the same time now, they will be able to use him as leverage to get one of their other guys out of the hoosegow. >> shows how dangerous it is when you see him in the video in the courtroom behind the glass. >> pete: paul whelan also being held. >> steve: no kidding. we will keep you posted on evan. meantime switch gears and come closer to home right here to new york city. yesterday, america's crime

crisis took stage at the javits center here in manhattan. >> pete: house hearing emotional testimony on the impact of the far left soft on crime policies of manhattan d.a. alvin bragg. >> ainsley: people lost their loved ones, moms who lost their kids. todd piro tells us more. >> good morning to all three of you. things got real heated at the house judiciary committee hearing on how alvin bragg is handling rising crime in the big apple. one of the passionate madeline whose son was stabbed to death by four assailants in 2018. two of the killers got off early after bragg dropped the indictments. >> all types of criminal elements. free to do what they want, when they want, however they want to whomever they want with no consequences. and as far as the manhattan district attorney's office, if he is receiving one penny of federal dollars, you need to pull that funding until he starts doing his damn job and

prosecuting crimes. >> one witness boghtd owner jose alba. he spent a week at likers before the charges against him for standing his ground mind were you dropped. despite this democrat labeling witnesses like alba as republican props and ripping the hearing as a charade this hearing was called for a purpose to district attorney for during his job. >> i fear you are being used for a political purpose despite your sincerity. >> your experiences are devastating. but the problem is that this is a charade to cover up for an abuse of power. >> but the criticism of how bragg has handled violent offenders yesterday coming from both sides of the political aisle. >> the day he took office it seems alvin bragg's top priority was to keep criminals out of jail and free to roam the

streets. district attorney bragg would be better off as a defense attorney than a prosecutor. >> hundreds and thousands of people come into the city, into manhattan to work and don't have the opportunity to vote for the district attorney. but, their safety is in jeopardy because of the district attorney. >> meantime, a man protesting d.a. bragg needed to be escorted out after interrupting the hearing to call the d.a. pro-crime. guys, back to you. i will add we have had madeline brame on my show multiple times. i have sat next to her stared her in the eyes. she is not committing a charade. she is not a prop. she is a grieving mother who is going to live every single day on this planet fighting for her son who was killed. kudos to her. shame on the democrats for using that horrible language to describe her. >> steve: yeah. we had her on just last week on this program. >> ainsley: we had her on a panel. >> steve: panel of people who had been touched by -- >> ainsley: son served in afghanistan veteran. on the streets of new york and

stabbed. someone plunged a butcher knife in his body nine times another 12 times ran away and left his body on the street to bleed to death. >> todd: as a parent think about hearing that description of what was done to your child. >> ainsley: he leaves behind three children of his own and two of the people who were charged with this are still back on the streets and that's why she was there yesterday. >> steve: right. because alvin bragg -- thank you very much, todd. >> sure. >> steve: his office still involved in the murder of her son. here is congressman -- he is from georgia. is he a democrat. hank johnson at the hearing. and he is talking with her, madeline abrah brame who suffere loss of a child butcher knife. >> the republican witnesses who have used their time to criticize district attorney bragg have served as props in a maga broadway production.

>> i would challenge this gentleman, whatever his name. >> hank johnson. >> hank johnson to step one foot in the hood. step one foot foot in the hood and tell me if those people there in that hood are props as well. you know? he is a rich black man, all right? he is a rich black man that is telling poor black men that they're props. and that the crime and the things that they're experiencing is not as bad as they think that they are. >> pete: so well said. that is the irony of the defund the police, black lives matter movement. they purport to want it to be about equity or equality when in actuality their policies hurt poor minority people more than those that are able to escape that crime or have their own private security. >> ainsley: jerry nadler said to her well, two of them are behind bars. >> ainsley: she said my son is never coming back. why are there two still out on the street? >> steve: jim jordan took a lot

of heat from democrats and they said, you know, essentially regarding jim jordan why are you here in new york city it looks like pay back because donald trump was indicted by alvin bragg of 34 felonies. and the democrat said that jim jordan's home state of ohio actually more dangerous than the city of manhattan. but, i get why they did the border hearing down along the border. you know what? the republicans have many soft on crime cities to choose from. why did they start with new york? they could have gone to filly or d.c. or l.a. or could have gone to chicago. they all. >> ainsley: they get federal dollars. >> steve: they all do. >> ainsley: for indicting trump they got federal dollars for that. >> steve: see, that makes it look like payback though. >> pete: i think both things can be true at once. fight fire with fire hey alvin bragg come to your backyard part of the case and also say hey, left wing d.a.s you are s

destroying a beautiful american city. to your point about ohio democrat run cities like cincinnati, like cleveland, those are the cities that jack up the numbers for ohio. but those are run by democrats who prefer soft on crime policies. and new york city is suffering. congress should care about that. and oh by the way alvin bragg, we are in your backyard. >> steve: it's a two-for. >> ainsley: he sass sitting with us next city is chicago. i'm going to be doing this at cities across the country. something has to be done. we have to have some sort of. we just need to fix this problem. and if our local leaders are not going to do it i'm fine with the national leaders coming in and leaning up some of these cities. >> pete: no doubt. >> steve: also, let's talk a little bit about elon musk sat down with tucker carlson. there's going to be part 2 tonight on the tucker show. they had a conversation at one point where elon, it was musk-see-tv last night. where they talk a little bit about twitter.

elon musk now admits he overpaid by a lot. he wound up firing 80% of the staff either fired or took a buy-out. >> pete: incredible. >> steve: gigantic number. tucker was surprised as all of us were. when you use twitter apparently your direct messages are not encrypted. so any sort of all manner of intel agency could possibly just take a look at your secret message that you might be sending to somebody. everybody thought they were encrypted. they're not. watch this. >> the degree to which various government agencies have effectively had full access to everything that was going on on twitter blew my mind. i was not aware of that. >> would that include people's dms? >> yes. >> yes. because the congressmans are not

encrypted. one of the things we are about to release is the ability to encrypt your d.m. >> tucker: that's pretty heavy duty though because a lot of well-known people reporters talking to sources, government officials, rich people around the world are d.m.ing each other. and the assumption obviously was incorrect but that was private but that was being read by various governments? >> yeah. that seems to be -- yes. >> ainsley: now is he moving to create a system where you can encrypt your dm messages and for part-time who don't use twitter dm is a private message. if you wanted to write pete a message on dm. >> pete: you could if i allow it and follow each other. there is parameters. if you follow it closely you knew that these are not encrypt thed, secure messages but the assumption is that they are. >> steve: it's a secret. >> pete: you go to whatsapp, signal. >> go to other places that are for secure. but the fact that the government had access to it is the next level. >> steve: governments. >> pete: you are right he did say plural.

what other governments? i would like to know that. >> ainsley: he said foreign government agencies. >> steve: i think all of them. what we learned from the leaker up in cape cod is that everybody spies on everybody. >> pete: what i first and foremost i don't want my government spying on me. let's start there you we know everybody spies on everybody else. i don't want them looking. >> steve: according to fisa, they can only spy on americans. >> yeah. >> steve: if they have a court order. >> sure. >> steve: they can spy on foreigners if they have a court order. >> ainsley: the goal is to restore free speech on the platform because it's been accused of being very left leaning and that's why he bought it. because he wanted both sides to be heard. he said he is making it his mission to expose twitter's past coordination with the federal government. that's why he is releasing the twitter files. listen to this. >> twitter is to be as fair and even-handed as possible.

so, not favoring any political ideology but just being fair to all. >> tucker: why wouldn't a company like that take the stand that you have taken? >> my understanding is that spent $400 million in the last election normally in a get out the vote campaign but really fundamentally in support of democrats. is that accurate or not accurate? >> tucker: that is not accurate. >> does that sound unbiased to you? >> tucker: no, it doesn't. >> yes. >> pete: so refreshing to hear that so refreshing. you don't hear people in that stratosphere. >> steve: is he not going to put money behind anybody. he said he did vote for joe biden. not saying he is a fan because that would be inaccurate, he said. when it comes to 2024. he thinks twitter will be influential not only here in the united states but internationally. and when asked about who he would support, he said i would like a normal person with common sense. so who is that?

[laughter] >> ainsley: i don't know. >> steve: who is that? >> pete: you never know. >> ainsley: didn't he say he was going to support ron desantis at one point? >> steve: he said he liked ron desantis. so let's see what happens. >> pete: a brave new world. >> steve: a quarter after the top of the hour. ashley joins us with news from minnesota. >> ashley: i do. start with this. minnesota police issuing an update since the disappearance of missing mom madeline kings burry. she vanished on march 31st after dropping her two kids off at day care. authorities revealing law enforcement and first responder continue to conduct daily targeted searches for kingsbury based on information generated by the investigation as well as tips from the public. adding, quote: we will bring her home. rei the latest retailer set to leave poor the land. the adventure company plans on closing only store in the crime-plalged city early next

though they are grown up. they love -- everything okay downstairs? still love those. you eat so many you are not paying attention to the color. >> ainsley: if you get confused look at the back of the bag. >> pete: exactly. it's right on the bag. >> ainsley: the white ones are the best and they are pineapple. orange is pretty good. >> steve: strawberry is green, orange is orange. lemon is yellow. >> pete: couldn't go two reds so they had to make a call. >> ainsley: what are your favorite flavors. i'm trying to determine if i could share a bag i would eat the clear ones and raspberry ones maybe orange. i will give you the lemons. >> steve: suspects it haribo. >> ainsley: hariboo. >> pete: coming up delivering pizza and justice. how a pizza shop employee helped police take a bite out of crime during a high speed chase.

changes affecting private banks nationwide. the result pricier payments for most home buyers and those with good credit footing the bill. here to explain we have got real estate broker and former-million-dollar listing star kirsten jordan she joins us now here in the studio. good morning to you. >> thank you for having me. >> this is a little complicated. you have done some research so if you would report back to us. what is going on here? >> well, what had to happen is because of the fact that the borrows that have lower credit scores, which is we are talking like 680 and below is what we are considering lower credit scores, those borrowers are traditionally those with lower income and in general with especially with what is going on right now with higher rates have more difficulty borrowing. >> steve: right. >> fannie mae and freddie mac in their initiative to try to expand and make it easier and more affordable. >> steve: put more people in houses. >> put more people in houses and clearly right now there is an

affordability crisis with regards to housing. >> steve: sure. >> they said we need to figure out a way to make this more affordable. so those with below -- specifically below 660 went from having to pay 2.75 to 1.5% in a fee penalizing fee to borrow with a lower than average credit rating. >> steve: holy cow. >> the people who then pick up the bill, so to speak because the fact that this has to somehow get subsidize are the borrowers that borrow the most amount of money, the largest loans, clearly. the ones that have second homes and the ones that are buying investment properties. >> steve: so what you are describing kirsten is the people with good credit who have made all their payments on time, who probably have more money in the bank are subsidizing the people who are bigger credit risks? >> it's kind of indirect because

the primary residence buyer that it has high credit isn't getting pepenalized coming out of the mh higher rates we are seeing 7%, 8% for borrowers that are buying the second homes and, you know, investment properties. >> steve: that's what is going on regarding mortgages. as you look at your crystal ball, you know, the average -- you know, everybody has been shopping for a good rate with mortgages, but, because of the cost of money, it's like doubled in a year if you could predict because there are a lot of people thinking about moving some place or buying a house, what does the couple months into the next year look like for you? >> in the markets where we have a scarcity of inventory which are the most affluent markets where there already was demand and they had multiple streams of demand probably already seen the bottom. then markets artificially created during covid, during the pandemic. people went there to leave and find more affordability, more

today the house is going to hold a second hearing on the origins of covid and it comes with a warning from china. >> steve: the chinese embassy here in the united states emailing congressman brad wenstrup's staff to, quote: respect science and facts and refrain from targeting the country. >> pete: this as the lab leak theory could soon become more than a theory and establish reality with former intelligence head john ratcliffe expected to say it's the only explanation for the outbreak congressman wenstrup will chair today's hearing and he joins us now from the capitol. mr. chairman, thank you very much forrenning here. what do you make to the chinese response to this and what do you hope to find. >> i was a little surprised by the chinese response but we're going to probably respond to them in kind in many ways. look, you know, dr. red field once said that, you know, the answers to the origins of covid is not going to come from science. it's going to come from the intelligence community, but i

will tell you at the same time would have gotten this letter. they have strong loy opposed and grave concerns about us proceeding in that direction. that tells you something about their concerns about what they're doing. if you look at our committee, the letter talks about us not being scientific. we have seven physicians on the committee in a bipartisan fashion and we have been bringing scientists in. and we would be glad to bring in the chinese scientists that were doing things like gain of function research and coronavirus research. the house and the senate and the president signed us to declassify all the intelligence that they have on covid-19 and the origins. certainly that will be heavily redacted but we look forward to getting that i have been on intelligence committee for some time when i first as a physician dug into the origins. one of the first things china was able to create a gain of function research type of virus,

a could i member are a that is more infectious than two viruses separate they make them stronger. we know the technology exists here are some other things we found out about what is going on in china at that time went from military to the civilian control. we searchers fall sick. you saw them destroy the sequences of the data they had on the viruses that they had on hand you start to add all these up and they were seeking grants for gain of function research and doing that in a low security lab is quite a problem and very condemning, i would say. >> ainsley: congressman, i know that john ratcliffe, former dni director is going to testify in front of your house subcommittee today. fox news exclusively obtained his prepared testimony in advance and he is saying the only explanation for the pandemic is a leak from the chinese lab. you said there are going to be a number of experts that you are going to hear from today, do

they all agree with him? >> i think that we'll have one that might feel that they don't know yet. but that's someone who has not really been involved with all of this, hasn't been in the intelligence community for some time. and so i think you will get a little bit of a more differing opinion, i guess if you will, but i would tell you what john, i think, is going to be talking about, j john ratcliffe is when you look at the ledger of evidence, on one side there's with nature there is virtually none. and with the lab, it's very compelling. and i would tell you that the former cdc director in china, george gow has come out and said there is no evidence that this came from nature. >> sound like china is missing dr. fauci he was emphatic no, not a lab leak. let's see what happens. congressman, thank you very much for joining us. we know you have a busy day today. >> pete: thank you. >> my pleasure, thanks.
