he was in a pen made of glass and metal and did not speak during the hearing. based on the outcome, gershkovich will be held in the former kgb facility, which was used to house alleged spies during the soviet era and that is what the kremlin has made gershkovich out to be. his detention is part of a control campaign by vladamir putinasmified as war in ukraine presses on. espionage charge against him has been denied by the u.s. and they claim he is wrongfully retained and he is being held politically driven and they are working on securing a release right now. in court today, u.s. ambassador to russia, lynn tracey, was able

to visit gershkovich for the first time. >> the charges against evan are baseless and we call on the russian federation to immediately release him. we also call for the immediate release of paul whelan, both men deserve to go home to their families now. >> in the case of gershkovich, russia says they will consider a prisoner swap, only after a trial is concluded and that could take months, even a year or more. gershkovich faces 20 years in pri prison >> steve: thanks alex. nobody is never found not guilty. >> ainsley: it is russia. >> steve: something different, two people faces charges for

running a secret police station used to track u.s. residents in new york city, it comes ahead of today's second origin covid house hearing. >> ainsley: griff jenkins previews what we are going to learn. this is in china town. >> griff: good morning. try to wrap your head around that, secret chinese police station in the heart of new york? that is what federal investigators allege, take a look. this nondescript building was site of an illegal chinese police station harassing critics of the chinese government. two individuals, both u.s. citizens, are charged with opening and operating that station. the u.s. attorney for eastern district of new york sending a message to beijing. >> today's charges sunday clear response to the prc, we are on

to you and know what you are doing and we will stop it from happening in the united states of america. >> steve: this development as former dni john ratcliffe will tell lawmakers today that the lab leak theory is undeniable source of covid and prepared testimony obtained by fox digital, john ratcliffe will testify that he has as much or more access than anyone to intelligence, has been and continues to be that lab leak is only explanation credibly after senator roger marshall concludes he is 90% confident in senate assessment claiming lab leaks triggered the pandemic and supports plausibility of intentsional research incident

that resulted from biosafety confinement during research. today's house hearing comes as officials at the chinese embassy in washington sent an e-mail to lawmakers warning them to back off, saying they are going down "the wrong path." >> steve: they don't like what might happen. thank you, griff. regarding the secret police station, two have been arrested and charged and the u.s. attorneys have charged something like 44 other people, they are part of chinese police task force called 912 special working group that operated as a troll farm in china. those people are in china and what they have been doing is spreading chinese disinformation to make the west look bad and china look good. >> ainsley: hard to believe. >> steve: they will never come to the united states or pay the price. >> ainsley: hard to believe that

is in new york city in china town, it is next to the brooklyn bridge. they are helping chinese citizens renew chinese drivers license and law requires prior notice to the ag on that know wo, that would be alvin bragg. they say they are tracking a u.s. resident on u.s. soil. chinese police directed one of them to locate a chinese dissident living in california. >> brian: i can get my drivers license updated in beijing? >> ainsley: you can't. you can barely do it here. >> brian: you mentioned they can never come to the united states, unless they go to the southern border, that is possible. >> steve: then they might get stopped at best buy and asked for id. what are you doing here? >> brian: or take a bus we pay

for, restaff the -- there is new pictures in the last week of that upon haing. this is psychological war fare by the chinese. if you're a dissident or national here, knowing the reach of the communist party could come to your mailbox or backyard is about maintaining control, which is all they want. >> steve: you have to figure, if the feds knew about it, any dissident 100%, they are worried about in the middle of the night [knocking] crap, it is that guy. >> ainsley: subcommittee on the covid pandemic will take place today. they are interviewing different doctors and experts to find out where they think the origin of covid began. the director of national intelligent john ratcliffe spoke to fox news exclusively and we

got a copy of his prepared testimony. he says only explanation is a leak from the lab. >> steve: u.s. energy department has an intel units, they said it was a lab leak and the fbi told bret baier, christopher wray. >> ainsley: and department of energy. >> steve: department of energy and the fbi, those two intel organizations said it is a lab leak. does not surprise brad winstrep. he had this to say about all of that. >> the letter talks about us not being scientific. we have seven physicians on the committee in a bipartisan fashion and bringing scientists in and we'd be glad to bring in the chinese scientists doing things like gain of function research and coronavirus research. lab in wuhan went to control and you had some of their

researchers fall sick and destroy the sequences of the data they had on the virus they had on hand. you start to add these things up and they were seeking grants and doing that in low security lab is quite a problem and very condemning, i would say. >> brian: good for them, taken house majority and three years later to prove the obvious at this point, which tom cotton called at the beginning, now we hopefully will verify it. the new good science, real science. >> steve: would have been so easy in 2019 or 2020 to have cooperation from china to put the pieces together. >> ainsley: and china told kevin mccarthy, don't meet with the president of taiwan. he said this is america, and now they are telling this committee, sending a letter saying back off on china.

>> brian: another note, but related, we've been talking a lot about artificial intelligence and what would happen if it got in the wrong hands. they are working on. >> steve: stealing ours, but working on it. >> brian: we do the work, they steal the homework for their purposes. elon musk was on tucker carlson last night, you can watch it on fox nation. there is a second part tonight. he talked about artificial intelligence. there it is 8 p.m. tonight. he talked twitter and politics and the state of the country, here is what elon musk said about donald trump reinstatement on twitter and presidential contest. watch. >> you labbed donald trump back on twitter and he hasn't taken you up on that, do you think he will go back on twitter? >> that is up to him.

my job is to, you know, i take freedom of speech very serious ly. i don't vote for donald trump, i actually voted for biden, not to say i'm a huge fan of biden, that would be inaccurate. we have a difficult choice to make in the presidential election. i would prefer frankly that we put someone just a normal person as president, a normal person with common sense and whose values are smack in the middle of the country, normal distribution and i think they would be great. >> steve: and i think the average american would say we would like somebody with common sense, just a normal person with common sense. of course, do those people run for president? >> ainsley: who would want to this day and age, they don't.

>> brian: that is what i want from a business owner, he will not get what he wants at the presidential level. if we can be a referee when we know what mark zuckerberg and twitter did in the 2020 election and the hunter biden story alone was interference. maybe open the opportunity for actual conversation. >> ainsley: he also talked about your deems, the u.s. and government could read your dms. someone can't read your private messages if you encrypt it. >> steve: or someone couldn't hack into your account, which i think is easy if you have ai. >> brian: ai hackers --

disney. >> sure. thanks for having me. i think the governor was flexing his muscle, there is jurisdiction the state of florida has. if they have state land and decide to put a prison on it, they can choose to do it. whether dealing with ron desantis, disney should be working around the clock to go and make amends with ron desantis, you don't want to press this guy. >> brian: does bob iger ever reach out? >> if i'm bob iger, i am working around the clock to find how to make amends with ron desantis. just like bud light should be working around the clock to make amends with kid rock. >> brian: kind of the same question, we'll see how bud light responds.

every county in texas is now a border county. >> steve: here to react is former terrell county, texas sheriff and texas southwestern border coalition, clint mcdonald. we've been talking about the crisis at our southern border and for some, it looks political. when it comes to your organization, your coalition is made of majority of democrat sheriffs and you're all on the same page as this republican governor. >> yes, sir, as we see and as we met with the governor yesterday, right now the governor is the only one supporting our borders along this international border in texas. so as long as that sheriff no matter what party he's

affiliated with, knows the governor has his back, we will stand up and support this governor. >> steve: sure, i know the biden administration has said don't come, border not open, even though the border is opening. look at the crossings from february to march, it is up 25% because they know title 42 is ending and don't know what is going to happen next. they want to get in before they slam the door. >> of course, and we're seeing people come through the northern border, as well, now and the whole world is watching and as soon as title 42 is lifted, that is going to be an invitation to everyone to hit our border as hard as they can. >> steve: sure. famously during the pandemic, there was no requirement that migrants come in and get the covid vaccine. a "new york post" story

yesterday, said 50% of migrant coming into new york are not vaccinated for polio and come from -- pass through countries with high rates of tb and been outbreaks of chicken pocks in shelters housing the newcomers. i don't think the biden administration is addressing potential diseases the migrants are coming into the country with. >> well, of course, and they are saying the end of 42 and they are at that they put up bring them through the port of entry, but the cartels are traveling people between ports of entry and those migrants coming in between ports of entry cause greater threat to us than we realize and our administration is not thinking along those lines. >> steve: why is that, clint?

think that getting this word out to the rest of the state and see it is happening in other places, as well, their input and their committee could help the situation here in new york and throughout the country. >> ainsley: how many years have you lived in new york? >> my whole life. >> ainsley: have you seen it get worse and worse? >> i've never seen it like this, i've never seen district attorneys not prosecute crimes at the level they are doing. three of the district attorneys, two are very good and we need to have law and order and the district attorneys work together. i've never seen it like this before in my career in law enforcement. >> ainsley: five burroughs and how many are good? >> statten iland district

i had to explain this is the market. the guys were fun to play beer pong with. i started looking for higher paying work as waitress and another internship to keep learning broadcasting skills when the fox one was over. this was the beginning of my career. things get worse, i lose my apartment and i started doing stand-up comedy. >> steve: i love the first line, i officially started working for fox news in 2016, three months after my grandma died and the guy who i thought i was going to marry broke up with me at coney island in front of my dad. kat is seated on a cofin.

some people think you cannot joke about being sick, death and this, that and the other. you say it can be helpful. >> yeah, i think opposite is true, for me, every tough thing, i have felt worse and more isolated when anybody that knew i was going through that struggled to say the right thing around me. then i feel isolated on top of everything else i was going through. this cultural policing of speech and humor is hurting people, hurting connection with each other. you are building a connection. >> ainsley: tell the rest of the story, you went from being on fox to being on gutfeld, beating other shows. >> "fox and friends" is one of the first shows i would do, i was in new york, i was living in dc, i would take an overnight

bus and i was here, i was on gutfield and red eye, and i didn't get my job until three days after my mom died, grandma died, guy broke up with me in front of my dad, i was hired for gutfeld three days after that. >> brian: in your tough times, you said, i will tell the story of tough times i'm going through in front of crowds being a comedian. >> absolutely, things that are tough are scary, the way to make something more powerful than scary is treat it like it is untouchable. >> ainsley: give us an example. >> definitely in l.a., definitely when my mom died. i would not like when people struggle to say things around me, how is your mom. i would say, oh, she died, i used to feel awkward, too, but i

would say, it is okay, you didn't kill her. we can feel connected because others can reach out to me. if we can fully express ourselves to each other, we can fully connect to one another, too. >> steve: you are the perfect person to write this book. it is out there, comes out today, "you can't joke about that," we're all in this together, available now, congratulations. >> thank you. >> ainsley: we're so proud of you. i love hearing stories like that. >> anything is possible. >> steve: right back after this. nicore smoking is freaking hard. you get advice like... just stop. go for a run. go for ten runs. run a marathon. instead, start small with nicorette, which will lead to something big.
