come up. it s going to to be bright all evening long. and today s faith and friends concert series we have the house fires here live. they ve been practicing, and it was beautiful. absolutely. rachel: yeah. we love having all this great music here on the weekends. we re not jealous of the week days anymore, now we have our music. pete: just co-opted it for six weeks. they are setting the house on fire here, it s a wake-up call. rachel: it s i awesome. there s so much energy in the green room. we can t wait to bring them out later in the show. joey: they sound so great. you go to concerts, that doesn t sound quite as good as the radio. that was beautiful. pete: very, very well cone. well done. we re one hour into a four-hour tour, one hour behind where we were yesterday. so you do the math of what that all means, i don t know. we re going to start with this, at least two people are kid in california dead in california as major flooding devastates entire communities. thousa
election as the government faces increased criticism for climate overreach. i mean, there s nothing like stashing starving your citizens to death. rachel: huge story. joey: the spacex dragon capsule and crew five are back on earth. the crew of four astronauts spent 157 days at the international space station after blasting off back in october on a falcon 99 rocket. they conducted critical experiments and did demonstrations in preparation for the next manned mission to the moon. they need a no-legged astronaut, i d volunteer now. rachel: would you really want to do that? joey: oh, in a heartbeat. those are your headlines, by the way. if they ever want to study the effects of amputation in space, i m here. rachel: would you want to do it? if. pete: i d do one of those tourist ones. rachel: where they give you coffee pete: would you like a cock a tail?
weigh in on that. joey: such a change in demeanor from the guy who was so stalwart in those hearings early on and bringing so much attitude, i guess almost looking arrogant and pompous at times. so go there from kind of what we ve learned in hearings this week, basically squashing the idea to now he s open-minded. pete: so now he s open minded, but at the very beginning he was, from the very start the, he was one of a very small group of scientists who worked very hard concern the even though they heard about the lab leak theory to push with certain certainty that it had to be natural origins. here s how the media and other democrats slammed the lab leak theory early on. watch. the conspiracy theory going around that the coronavirus or originated with excuse perhaps and was perhaps man made inside a lab in china for this theory that the virus was accidentally released from a lab in wuhan, that s his new angle to the feed the wingnuts. there s a danger in the
joey: i thought it was scientific. rachel: buy, chief. bye, chief. pete: it works. i think we re going to roll with it from the now on. in other news, things that we were told were settled science or totally debunked, of course, two years later or three years later flipped in the other direction as the misinformation/disinformation world we live in with the uni-party group think that we re told from washington d.c. see, tony fauci is now going on media and saying he s completely open-minded about covid-19 origins [laughter] and where they came from. at the same time, we reported yesterday biden s not willing to say whether he ll sign a bill to declassify origins of covid-19 rachel: and, pete, he was asked directly in this interview with jim across a the on cnn should joe biden, you know, sign this legislation. and he said i can t say. i m not, i don t really want to
