"fox & friends" hour two starts right now. it's 7:00 in new york city. >> brian: all right. we start this hour with a fox news alert. president biden is in japan right now. is he doing it this morning with the g-7 summit underway. actually officially begins tomorrow. top issues include jot this down. tensions with china i have heard about that. russia's invasion in ukraine, 15 months old and about to get their butt kicked in my view. president biden faces backlash for going overseas, according to some, during debt ceiling negotiations but is he cutting it off early. edward lawrence joins us live from h hiroshima, japan.

>> he had his first bilateral meeting with the prime minister of japan. that was his first event here at hiroshima. listen. >> i'm proud that the united states and japan are facing it together. and, you know, we stand up for the shared values, including supporting brave people of ukraine as they defend their sovereign territory and holding russia accountable for its brutal aggression. when our countries stand together, we stand stronger and i believe the whole world what we do. so thank you again for having me here today and we look forward to the next several days. >> so the russian invasion a big topic as you said along with president biden, what he calls a climate crisis. while here the world leaders will come up with a unified way to respond to a more aggressive china. we'll also hear about those emerging technologies like

quantum computing and artificial intelligence, overshadowing the entire trip. a lack of a deal to raise the debt ceiling. >> >> the president said all along he would not negotiate and you had to just increase the debt ceiling. he, and chuck schumer said that yesterday was a breakthrough. they acknowledged that's no longer a position they can hold. and now they have appointed two of their administrative people to work with our staff, to work to try to find and solve this problem. >> and stronger work benefits for people that are receiving social benefits. that's one of the sticking points along with the amount of time to restrict the growth of the budget. the president, as i might point out also skipping last part of this trip. going to australia. self-leaving here on sunday to come back because of those debt negotiations. back to you guys. >> steve: edward, the reasonable is he not going to go to the quad because all the people from the quad are actually there with you in hiroshima at the g-7.

he is going to pull them aside and say okay, when we were going to go. we were going to talk about this. let's talk about it here. >> yeah. and that's exactly right. you know, the australian prime minister is here. he canceled the event officially in australia. they are going to do -- work on getting a pull aside for the folks here. it won't be a full meeting. they won't have the amount of time that they had in australia. but they will at least get that conversation in. >> brian: all right. thanks so much, ed. appreciate it. so just to finishing up. i actually think that -- i know what kevin mccarthy is doing. i know he wants to say come home. i think it's so important for the united states to go over there and show a solidarity with the other major economies. the other military forces. also find out what's going on in the region and let china know. we are here. we have friends. and we're watching you. and the number one story or the number one b story is taiwan. everyone is concerned about security. i love the fact that japan is buying tomahawk defense missiles.

doubling budgets. south carsouth korea and austra. >> ainsley: rebecca mine rick's was on the show earlier she said it's not a big deal he is not going to australia and postoperative pa new guinea all the security and preparations put into these trips. to cut it short they had been planning this for a long time. >> steve: there were a lot of people already on the ground. a lot of material had been moved there. and the kids got school off. >> ainsley: they did. they are calling him no owe show joe. why didn't he negotiate before this trip so he could make everybody happy. fix our problem here. >> brian: he lost leverage with kevin mccarthy. kevin mccarthy knows the world is watching. yeah, i'm not going to negotiate. is he going to sit there and nonstop economic tension with our allies and enemies. >> ainsley: you know he will negotiate. >> brian: now he is. >> steve: even though they said they wouldn't. something that did happen on capitol hill yesterday is cori bush, the congresswoman from the great state of missouri, she is

pushing a resolution to pay black americans a total of $14 trillion in reparations to close the racial wealth gap that some advocates say is the direct result of racist government policies. here she is yesterday in d.c. explaining why this should happen. listen. >> the united states has a moral and legal obligation to provide reparations for the enslavement of africans. we are are looking at the black-white wealth gap and which is about $14 trillion. so, you know, we have scholars like dr. sandy day or twoy and jason hinkle and others working on a dollar amount looking at what that is. if we continue k. continue to fund these wars and continue to put money hand over fist, trillions of dollars in to forever wars, into the defense

budget, we have to make sure because we're talking about helping with things that are happening now when we did not repair what happened before in which we are still living through. >> steve: similar legislation to this has been introduced every session since 1989. it in the beginning it was john conyers followed by sheila jackson lee. it'sing from in 2022 house resolution 40 established a commission to go ahead and study how reparations would work here in the united states. they said they had enough votes but as it turns out even though democrats ran congress, they never brought it up for a vote. >> ainsley: talking about this in california, too. now she wants to bring it to the entire country. bob woodson was on our show earlier talking about this. he is with the woodson center, is he the founder of that center, actually, and slams the par left push for reparations, listen. >> i think it's a more insidious form of bigotry than old

fashioned bigotry that was based in malice. he makes the false claims that others do that this is necessary because of the legacy of slavery and discrimination has resulted in the kind of out-of-wedlock births and violence and in cities. this is untrue. brian, i was born during the depression, 1937. ain my poor neighborhood there were holes in our shoes but not in our character and our faith. elderly people would walk safely in these communities without fear of being mugged by their grandchildren. it's ironic that these people like cori bush is pushing an agenda that is really will antithetical to the interest of black americans. >> talking to bob woodson, real life perspective. spending the last four years reading fred droik also a's book born a slave and reading and studding booker t. washington up from slavery.

you get their perspective on how bad things were for african-americans in this country and how much progress has been made. nobody on this set or in this building ever is going to soft peddle the damage of jim crow and slavery and understood the damage that bret baier wrote about in 1875 with compromise as we pulled the union troops out of the south and the confederate army and that racist attitude took root in the south. we made so much progress as a country to this point to think we're going to write a check for people that were not enslaved on behalf of enslavers that are not alive, most americans right now were not even in this country will have relatives, roots in this country weren't even around when slavery was around like, for example, my family. it makes no sense. i mean are we going to get the routing number for oprah winfrey and deposit $309,000 in to her account each. michael jordan as well? >> steve: $14 trillion is the

cost. back in 2021 "the washington post" did a poll of americans. only 28% support it. when you look at how this breaks down demographically, 46% of democrats approve, 92% of republicans are opposed. meanwhile, it's 7:09 here in new york city. and it's currently 46 degrees outside. but it feels like it's about 10. brian, where is your coat? >> brian: at home. >> steve: why? >> brian: because it's may. i refuse to acknowledge that it's 45 degrees. >> steve: don't you listen to janice dean? >> ainsley: i didn't wear a coat. i was thinking it was going to be warm like yesterday. thankfully i keep a few in my office. >> brian: took all my coats away. took all my liners out of my ties. >> steve: it's chilly and big new york city city. >> ainsley: traffic goes by and that takes us to next story. royal experts questioning what is being described as near catastrophic two hour car chase.

>> brian: wow. >> ainsley: involving prince harry and meghan on tuesday night in new york city. i like her dress. >> steve: their team say it was catastrophic. it the claims that put the lives at risk. >> ainsley: why are they at hertz? >> steve: rental place right over here. >> ainsley: yeah, but they don't have like limos and chauffeurs? go ahead. they are just everyday people. >> brian: i know i'm a gold member at hertz. you don't have to waited in lines. you see prince harry on the board and go pick up your car and the keys are in the car. you can pick any car. that's budget, i'm sorry. todd piro you have the news. >> ainsley: you are bragging. >> todd: unclear if the weather played any role in mayhem. experts and the mayor having trouble believing harry and meghan were being chased by paparazzi for hours during the streets of new york city. meghan's mother attended a charity event tuesday night

where meghan was being honored. the office of the duke and duchess of sussex claiming they were involved at near catastrophic car chase at the hands of aggressive paparazzi. this pursuit lasting over two hours resulting in near multiple collisions other drivers on the road, pedestrians and two nypd officers. but, police officers say the couple was never in danger. quote: the nypd assisted the private security team protecting the duke and duchess of sussex. numerous photographers that made their transport challenging nkt the duke and duchess the sussex arrived at their destinations no reported collisions, injuries or arrests in regard. and a new york city cab driver who briefly had harry and meghan in his backseat offering a less dramatic account. >> coming outs of nowhere and taking pictures and flashing. never gave me the location where they were going. and then the security guard told me circle back. as we were circling back, you see the paparazzi car following

my car. prince harry and his wife and the lady were nervous and they looked scared. >> mayor eric a adams calling the paparazzi reckless while down playing the idea this was a drawn out pursuit. >> i would find it hard to believe that there was a two-hour high-speed chase. that would be -- i find that hard to believe, but we will find out the exact duration. >> todd: sources say no crashes were reported. no 911 calls made in regard to the incident, which is currently under investigation. lots of questions. ing. >> brian: can you call bucking ham palace and get a statement i'm tired of the silence. >> todd: another question how did they find a cab driver? have you ever been able to find a cab driver? >> steve: the cops waived down. >> brian: good at it. cabs will pull over for cops. >> steve: thank you very much, todd. of the cops have dialed down the drama. here is the cover of the "new york post," the duke and duchess

of -- >> ainsley: driving around in circles they didn't want anyone to know what hotel, where they were staying. >> brian: maybe they actually forgot and trying to cover for themselves. >> did a good job. >> best of luck to the couple achieve their goal and stay out of the limelight like they really within ana. make sure they are not in the patience. >> they want to live a normal life. it's so clear. >> steve: brian and i are going to sit quietly in the cold. >> ainsley: serve me some hot chocolate. >> brian: are we all doing headlines? >> steve: no, just ainsley. >> ainsley: i'm doing had the headlines right now. >> steve: sit quietly as she does the news. >> ainsley: simmer down you will get your turn in the next hour or. so let's start with this. this is a steerous story. fallen chicago police officer arianna preston was laid to rest yesterday as friends and family say their final goodbyes. look at that. that's sad. a sea of blue lining the streets outside. you can see right before the service to issue a final salute.

press her about basic legal theory and her final answer was, quote: it's not coming to mind. and oscar mayer changing the name of its iconic 27-foot hot dog shaped vehicle for the first time in history. >> steve: why? >> brian: get to the bottom of this. >> oscar mayer wiener, that is what i truly like to be ♪ because if i were an oscar mayer wiener ♪ everyone would be in love with me ♪ >> ainsley: after nearly 100 years of being called the wiener mobile. [laughter] is now going to be known as the frank mobile. >> steve: okay. >> ainsley: the change comes as the brand look tolls promote all beef franks. i think we all know why they are changing it. the fleet of six frank mobiles is set to hit the road today. >> brian: do you know by they changed it to hot dog because frank during world wa world wark

footer was very german. >> steve: got news bank to franks. >> ainsley: we did call them freedom fries. >> brian: anything more exciting to going up to a package of oscar mayer hot dogs and looking for a whistle. they used to have a prize. >> ainsley: like the cracker jack box? >> brian: more exciting. sit there and did you go. look in there and look for the whistle. >> steve: that was the beautiful thing about the wiener mobile, when wiener mobile been on the show hundreds of times thousands of whistles, we always have a lovely parting bucket of whistles when they leave. >> ainsley: we need to meet the people who drive those things around the country. >> steve: frank mobiles call us. >> ainsley: do they still have little gifts in cereal boxes? hayden doesn't eat cereal. >> cracker jacks. >> ainsley: they used to have a prize in the cereal box. and games on the back. >> steve: you remember in cereal backs back in the olden days they actually used to have on the outside on the back a

record. there would be a record you would cut out like bobby sherman. >> ainsley: how did it work sometimes they were cardboard but they still worked. >> steve: poke a hole in the middle and put it on turntable. >> brian: on your close and play. coming up blowing a whistle. leaghts testify on the retaliation they say they face. right now calling out the bias. jim jordan expected to do a press conference next hour. we will take it live. pete hegseth has all that coming up and he is happy about it. look at that picture. >> steve: but, first, a "fox & friends" exclusive, that seventh grader stood up for free speech after his school censored him for wearing a shirt that says, as you can see "there are only two genders." his lawsuit against the school coming up next right here on "fox & friends" and franks. ♪ find a little lining ♪ take our kids down there one day ♪ and i know she was mighty fine

school a problem 12-year-old liam morrison was told to change or get out of class. after politely refusing to take off the shirt he was sent home. now liam and his family are suing his town and school for censoring his views while the school promotes the lgbtq agenda with pride flags and posters liam joins us now from home

along with the attorney representing him. good morning, gentlemen. thanks for joining us liam, let's start with you, back in march when you wore that shirt to school. let's start with why did you want to wear a shirt that said there are only two genders? >> i want to wear that shirt because it was a very popular topic and i wanted to voice my opinion about it. >> and so by wearing the shirt you wore, what happened when you showed up in school with that? when i first arrived people commemorating me and happy and agreeing with me for wearing the shirt. >> steve: okay. at some point a teacher must have had an objection or -- because the principal eventually came up to you and what did they tell you? >> they told me a lot of people were being upset by my shirt and

that they wanted me to take it off. >> steve: i understand that. did you discuss with them? look, there are only two jeanders. there are only two jeanders. there are a number of gender identities now but there are only two genders. >> yeah. did i have a bit of a discussion with them about it after they told me to take it off. >> right. but you were going to stand up for your right to your first amendment right you didn't take it of o. they sent you home. then a couple weeks later you wore another shirt to school. tell us about that one. >> yeah. so it was that same only two genders part. only two part duct tape to say censored ton more or less a symbolism for how they were censoring me. >> is that how you feel the

school was crerpsing your first amendment rights? >> yeah. they completely blocked my ability to took away my ability to have a different opinion than they wanted me to have. >> steve: all right. now, tyson, you are representing liam and his family in this case this is not about two t-shirts, is it. >> no. absolutely not. this is about a school censoring a seventh grader who just has a different viewpoint. if students don't forfeit their free speech rights when they step into the school. the school is talking about this issue all the time and all liam wanted to do was to express his opinion which is actually shared by a lot of his classmates. >> steve: so, the shirt itself there are just two genders. there are different gender identities as i said a moment ago. but does the school have something against that? >> it's hard to tell because their student handbook actually

says that public education must be available to members of both sexes. and it says that sexual assault can't be against either gender. the school's own communications actually support liam's viewpoint but what they told him is that he can't express that on his shirt. and we think that's wrong. no student should ever be punished for simply peacefully sharing their view on a really important topic. >> >> steve: liam, i bet you have been tempted to wear another shirt with another message. are you gonna? >> well, if we end up being able to win that -- this case that we are in, i'm definitely going to be wearing it again. >> steve: the same shirt? >> yes, of course. >> steve: i think i would have a new shirt made that said "we won." if that's what happens. >> yeah. >> steve: liam, thank you very much. i know you are going to school today. anybody giving you trouble at school because of this? >> i would say no, no one has

really given me any trouble. a lot of people are happy with what i'm doing, in fact. >> steve: all right. well, we did reach out to the middle borough public schools for a statement. they did not respond. middle borough town manager james magrel said he could not comment on the pending litigation. tyson and liam, thank you very much, both of you, for joining us and telling us what is going on in massachusetts. thanks, guys. >> thank you. >> yes. thank you for having us on here. >> steve: all right. now go to school. all right. still ahead on this thursday. uncovering the origins of covid, a new report dives into the original chinese sources behind the covid cover-up. we're going to break down the key evidence. plus, congresswoman ashley hinson sounds off on china's economic war against america. ♪

is releasing a report is extensive. always been skeptical now he has a 300 page report that's out. here are some of the highlights we will review. a lot of it say i told you so. first in 2018, chinese officials are warned hey you have bad safety protocols you should bulk it up. keep in mind the wuhan lab then in 2019 some word comes out that biocontainment accident occurred the wuhan institute of virology. didn't hear anything from anthony fauci. maybe you did. let's go back and find out what happens right after that. 2019 the chinese officials shut down the virus data base. why would you do that? well between 2:00 and 3:00 in the morning shut everything down. outbreak drill on the wuhan airport. why would you do that? you knew that safety protocols were bad. you knew you had one problem all right. why? evidently you were in a real rush to move forward on biotech advancement. let's move forward again with our wall and talk about what happened next in september of 2019. the wuhan resident died chinese biosays may have been covid-19.

and that was supposed to be the first person that lost their lives to this mysterious illness. there might have been mysterious to beijing because in wuhan there might have been some fear of repercussions this is file video of what was going on in wuhan which brings us to the man that was skeptical of day one. tom cotton came out and said man, bad stuff going on there. shut down all travel. the chinese knew bad stuff was going on. they this no interest. still flying people everywhere and very discuss tris in a place hit very hard italy. marco rubio weighed in on the timeline of covid-19 this is a report we all should read he wrote it. watch. >> we know the official timeline in china says the first cases of covid-19 occurred in december. by november of 2019, it they are already closing schools. so something is already happening. >> brian: so something is already happening. and if china was honest with us then, yeah, there would have been some consternation, people would have been angry. at least working together as a

world biotech community to put an end to this. or how about this in the w.h.o. would probably have helped. don't you think? but they still were not honest with us. in september of 2019. remember. this wuhan resident passed away. we moved advance the wall in november of 2019, becomes pretty evident things are bad. chinese officials document some cases of covid-19 but kept it hidden. plus, in the back of your mind, know. this they were saying this is a natural occurrence. there is no lab problem. we are picking up a different story. and the cia for some reason has not weighed in on this. they might have the best intelligence, period. december 31st, first disclosure of covid-19 to the public. what they weren't honest about is can it transfer from human-to-human contact? was it, in fact, viral? if they were honest we would have known how to fight it. we would have known to already start working on some type of vaccine but they weren't and they still aren't. now the result about 7 million people are dead. 1 million people died in the u.s. and the chinese were mocking us for a while. they said we had no -- which is pretty rich.

knowing that they started and poisoned the world and saying well, america can't react cohesively. we got rid of it quickly. we put together a vaccine rapidly. they didn't. and they held on to their protocols way too long and their economy and their people are still suffering. now, as we continue to assess the origins of covid-19, the select committee on china held a hearing last night on china's economic aggression. iowa congresswoman ashley hinson serves on that select committee and joins us now. first off, congresswoman, i love your committee. it is so good to see republicans and democrats working together when originally the democrats said they didn't even want to serve on it. your thoughts about what senator aruba put together? >> yeah. well, thanks for having me, brian. and i applaud the senator for his work to expose what china has done in this space. china has been ripping us off for years. whether it's what happened with covid-19 and not being truthful there. the deceptive trade practices. stealing our intellectual property. taking american jobs. right? so china is an adversary and the

reason why we wanted to have that hearing last night was to expose the economic aggression and what they have done to undermine our economy. they are truly using our resources against us. they have that plan by 2049 that they want to be the dominant economic super power in the world. and so it's up to us as republicans and democrats truly as americans to this problem. i'm encouraged by the work coming out of our select committee here in washington, d.c. >> brian: irresponsible behavior in that lab forecast upon review and we should have known about. we were not given a heads up about has poisoned the world. fact that they haven't owned up to it. the lives lost. the supply chains that have never recovered. the people that have suffered and their people are actually suffering right now. i think people under 25, they have like a 20% unemployment. so they are still sucking wind economically. robert lighthizer who is also respected on both sides of the aisle. who is negotiating a phase one and phase 2 trade deal prior to

the pandemic said this about the objectives of the chinese. >> i believe that china is the most dangerous threat that we face as a nation. indeed, it may be the most perilous adversary we have ever had. it is not an exaggeration to say that the chinese communist party has been waging an economic war against the united states for decades. >> brian: the invasion of taiwan that seems eminent and spy balloons flying over the country that they never owned up to and defiant in saying we never should have shot it down. that leads you and others to say it's time for us to get on the offense. what have you done in terms of chinese land purchases? what do you plan to do. >> yeah. i think it's great that there is truly bipartisan interest in doing something in this space. because china should not be allowed to buy another acre of farm land and ambassador lighthizer said it best last night in our hearing. it's not like you can go over to china and buy a piece of farmland. they are doing it for the wrong reasons. they are buying it up strategically near our military

bases. food security is national security. and so we need to be eyes wide open about what the chinese are trying to do here. so the ccp, specifically, should not be allowed to buy another acre of farmland. so i'm encouraged by the policies that we're putting forth in congress that are designed to help counter this aggression by china. they are doing it not only to buy our land but when they can't steal our intellectual property they try to buy that. too. the witnesses last night were very, very cautionary about americans investing in asia because there may come a time when you won't be able to get your investment back. we have a lot of work to do as a committee. looking forward to continuing to put forth that policy blueprint so we can make surety next century is an american one and not a chinese quinel. >> brian: do you think there is going to be a piece of legislation to vote. >> absolutely. our committee is working on policy recommendations right now. we will work through the process. i'm encouraged and i believe we will be able to get something done. >> brian: american people will back you. why thousands are coming through

southern border and what they are doing in our colleges and why they want to give millions of dollars to elite universities. would what do they hope to get out of that university first to cough it up. easy to take the money. got to think the country first. 393,000 acres china has bought. let's put a stop to it. congresswoman, great to hear from you. >> thanks, brian. >> brian: all right. meanwhile, bias at the bureau. the whistleblowers claim they had the security clearances revoked for speaking out. congressman jim jordan holding a very important press conference in less than 30 minutes. we'll take you there live. but, first, pete hegseth joins us with a preview. that will be next. ♪ (psst psst) ahhhh... with flonase, allergies don't have to be scary spraying flonase daily gives you long-lasting, non-drowsy relief.

tammaro dam welcome back to a chilly new york city where they are letting me stay inside because frost and freeze warnings across the entire new england upstate area in new york stretching back into portions of the midwest. lima, ohio included in this. cold mostly because of winds coming out of the north and wind

makes it feel a lot colder can. a lot of interior places temperatures down around freezing this morning. 34 degrees currently in syracuse if you live along the water mild 48 degrees in new york city. again that wind that makes it feel so cold for millions and millions of americans this morning. a good 10, 5, 10 degrees colder than it was this time yesterday morning. we will warming up but stay relatively mild here across portions of the east. temperatures only up to 48 degrees in new york city. that's currently a lot warmer in the middle of the country, 60 degrees in kansas city. do you see we continue to warm up. topping up 61 degrees in new york. 82 in kansas city a lot of warm air in the middle of the country. warm air is going to fuel showers and storms. we have been seeing them every single day on radar group. showers in the west and southeast. of course feel like summer for some folks while feels like more like early spring for us in new york. ainsley, happy to be inside because it is chilly out there right now. >> ainsley: going outside in just a minute. >> adam: bundle up.

>> ainsley: go get your coffee and meet you out there. not so bad. a little cold. >> adam: appears all relative. >> ainsley: at the top of the hour, a house committee is investigating the weaponization of the federal government and they are going to hold a presser on the three fbi whistleblowers who say that they faced retaliation and abuse at the bureau. "fox & friends weekend" co-host pete hegseth joins us now to talk about this. hey, pete. >> pete: hey, ainsley. >> ainsley: knowing what you know now about these whistleblowers because we have an idea what they are going to say. what's the most shocking? >> well, political manipulation of the entire thing internally that they are blowing the whistle on, we talk a lot about how this isn't the entire fbi. the rank and file are good patriots. this is an example of that. these are the whistleblowers who said i -- you know, i joined the fbi to chase down drug traffickers or sex traffickers. i mean, i wanted to enforce the law. and it turned into a political instrument. and so the most shocking one you are going to hear here in this testimony is that they took the

events of january 6th, what happened at the capitol, and they are trying to make it look like dsk terrorism, white nationalism, whatever you want to call it is prolific throughout the country. while washington, d.c. controlled that entire investigation, they say well, we have got 25 radicals out in washington state and 75 in california and 200 in tennessee because they count them locally based on people that were at the capitol. and then try to inflate the that pastatistics to make it look lie domestic extremism is everywhere over the country. based on one event and they are told to treat it that way. i think it's also the retaliation. you know, we are supposed to like whistleblowers, right? remember alexander vindman he bbblew the lid off the ukrainian phone call. will legacy media pay any attention to it? the answer is probably not.

if our government is weaponized there is nothing more dangerous than trust in our system. good on whistleblowers and committee for showcasing it. >> ainsley: you are right. they allowed because of that dirty dossier that turned out to be fake to spy on the trump campaign. carter page, somebody needs to be held accountable for this. whistleblowers inflated statistics to fit the white house political narratives and instructed to pursue january 6th over child sex crime cases. they said those are no longer a priority. >> pete: can you imagine saying that's no longer a priority? >> ainsley: magical if you are auto child and you harr think are not investigating the person who is doing this to you any longer because they need to go after january 6th. >> pete: because a guy walked into a capitol. >> ainsley: actually, before you get into it. this is called the lost victory. >> so be came up and kicked my bed said get up, we have got to go. >> people starting shooting at us out of a village. we were just flying along. >> said, man, we have got

incoming. get out of here. and we all broke off in the first rockets or mortars they seen hit hit right there where i had been sleeping. >> ainsley: pete, tell us about it. >> pete: i love these vietnam vets telling their story. the tet offensive 1968 lost victory. it was a military victory for the americans and allies in the vietnamese army. it was a defeat though politically. because it created the perception the war was going poorly. you will hear stories you never heard before from great americans who deserve their due. this was a surprise attack during the lunar new year. most of the arvin, our of a lies in the vietnamese army were on leave as the am attacked. it's an amazing. >> ainsley: new lunar new year known as tet good job. >> pete: thank you, ainsley.
