stuart: i want you back by in sync. the boy bland. you wouldn't described beatles as a boy band would you? lauren: the girls were not just drooling and cheering for them at the concerts? stuart: i'm sorry got into this. good morning, everyone, 10:00 eastern. to the money, not much action. coupled inflation reports coming out tomorrow and thursday, the stock market, dow was up 19, nasdaq down 27. the 10 year treasury yield is at 3. 42%, well %, well below 3%. price of oil at $80 a barrel, bitcoin, this is the big story

in financial news, bitcoin is above $30,000 a coin, the highest since june of last year. that's the markets. and now this. more talk makes me nervous and there's plenty of more talk these days. if trump was still president things might be different but president biden is in the oval office and after afghanistan he is perceived as weak. china carried out simulated precision attacks on taiwan targets. america's amphibious reconnaissance battalion is on the island, special operations unit just like the navy seals. a wrong move on either side. president biden has not picked up the phone to talk to xi jinping. he makes a point of not answering media questions. maybe that's good diplomacy but silence encourages anxiety.

the release of secret documents puts us in the middle of the ukraine work with the biggest security breach in decades, it's remarkably detailed. it outlines the status of every ukrainian brigade including the precise number of shells and rockets they fire every day, detail exactly how many missiles the ukrainian air defense system still hasn't when they will run out. also spelled out as the state of the russian military, not good at all. read these documents and you are plunged into the war in ukraine. it is a pivotal period, russia stalled, ukrainians about to mount a spring campaign. i'm pretty sure that president biden did not want to be a wartime president but that is where we are and that is what we have, second hour of varney just getting started.

let's bring in the former governor of arkansas, mike huckabee. there's a lot of war talk. makes me feel nervous. i think it's very ominous. how do you see it? >> it's exactly what you described. these are dangerous times. i was just in taiwan three weeks ago. there's an enormous level of anxiety because the chinese continue to do some serious saber rattling and they are truly concerned what biden might do to stand with them. the good news, i will give credit to republicans and democrats that there's a united front at least in congress, nancy pelosi's visit to taiwan, kevin mccarthy having hosted president tsai ing-wen but nothing from biden to push back on the chinese coming as party and the reason this is a compromise president when it comes to the chinese.

he's got some serious big business deals with them and doesn't want that exposed. stuart: next case, donald trump discouraged ron desantis from running in 24, said desantis would, quote, only hurt and divide the republican party. look at this. 50% of americans say trump should suspend his campaign following the indictment, up 5 points from last week, where do you stand on trump versus desantis right now? >> that are going to play out. nobody wants a primary opponent. i never wanted one but i have one every time i ever ran. even when i was the incumbent i would have somebody challenge me. sometimes a fringe candidate. as much as you don't want it, it makes you a better candidate to compete for the nomination but there's some argument to be made that donald trump is an incumbent president, not just a challenger so it gives him the leg out.

stuart: conventional wisdom is trump is gaining support because of the indictment and come primaries and the debates he will win because his base will stay intact, but he can't win the general. i keep hearing this. where do you stand on that? >> i think he can win the general. the dumbest thing anyone ever says is donald trump should back out of the primary because of the indictment, he should go full steam ahead. if he pulls out because he is under attack then look for every republican who runs for office to get indicted for something because that is how the democrats play ball. if we want to completely lose and look like bosses and i use that term rather than the one that came to mind, if we want to be that, then all we have to

do is start surrendering to ridiculous charges against republicans and pretend they are against us, we had better quit. that is how you lose every time, what donald trump that are not step down, and thank good if not he is got the guts that we want. stuart: best to your daughter. back to the markets, not like there is a great deal of action. inflation reports coming up, the markets on pause because we get those reports. this is my opinion strictly speaking. i think the market just wants to go up. are you with me on this? >> i understand your feeling because i see the bad news myself but at some point the market can only ignore the bad news for so long and there are some things that are starting to make me more concerned than i normally am, the biggest one

is regional banks stop lending. if we've seen the numbers the last two weeks, credit cards have fallen off a cliff, they will shut off the economy by not lending to commercial real estate or manufacturing, that is going to be a big problem. everyone thinks the banking crisis has been put on the side but underneath that i did a story myself that the last two weeks have been very dire when it comes to lending, the credit crunch we are seeing, that the precursor for recession and maybe we don't get the recession, we get something that could be worse. i don't think the fed does anything quickly. i don't think we will see a short, sharp recession or a deep long one. i think it will take a really long time to get there because things go so slowly. the ppi and cpi this week, we have a wait and see on that, see if the fed stopped raising interest rates. those will all take time.

can't believe people are calling for rate cuts by the end of the year. if we have a rate cut, something cataclysmic has happened and that's not good. stuart: we hear you on that. i want your comment on bitcoin. it is gone to $30,000, first time i've seen that since june of last year. what do you make of it? how do you explain it? >> it will get little bit of an updraft. it went from 66,000 to 16,000 so now we are working 14,000 points higher, 30,000 but i can't celebrate that because we saw 36,000 before new highs. i understand folks see it as a great performing asset this year but 30,000 to 66,000 stings if i own it. a lot of people got involved between 40, 50,000, they are underwater. it's got competition, the central banks don't want to give up the real estate to these -- to bitcoin. the central banks want to control things.

we just had christine the guard from the ecb get caught on a hot mike or some sort of mock zelenskyy interview saying she wants to have central bank because they want to >> reporter: control. the fed now, is going to be rolled out in july and they've started testing it and they will push everybody over by saying if you want to keep your money, in a regional bank, go ahead but we will take away the fdic insurance on or if you put money with the fed, guarantee any deposit there, there will be a sales thing like for electric vehicles, try to push everybody over there so then they can tell shalladdy he's been to mcdonald's too much and shut off my money. stuart: i didn't realize that. that is pretty good stuff. thank you for joining us and enlightening. you are all right, see you again soon. lauren is looking at the movers. car max is moving 10%.

stuart: president biden signed the republican bill to end the covid national emergency. is that over? lauren: yes. one month early. this was supposed to end may 11th. the president said i opposes republican passed measured to end the national emergency but i'm not going to veto it. now there is the public health emergency that impacts healthcare, title 42. that ends may 11th.

guidance, keeping schools close longer than necessary and promises to be a feisty affair. miss weingarten blamed the trump administration for school closures. the hearing is scheduled for april 26th. stuart: that will be interesting. my next guest, governors who receive millions of dollars in covid funds for school during the pandemic are not using the money to help students. patrick hughes is founder of the national opportunity project and joins us now. the schools got billions of dollars during covid. where did that money go? >> we found at least $736 million in 27 states that hasn't made it to the kids. private school funding is supposed to go for education of mostly underprivileged kids who lost so much learning during covid.

stuart: this money, $700 million, was supposed to go to parents to help with private school? >> it was originally designed to go to the private schools but was very limited. had to be covid relief, ppe ventilation, where the public schools lobbied for billions of dollars that can go to teacher pay and other things. what we found is all this money, hundreds of millions of dollars, making sure the public is aware is in the hands of governors, various states across the country and prevent it from being misused like it has been already. stuart: tell me how in some cases it has been misused. >> a bunch of money playing the

videogame mine craft. in oregon, they did diversity, equity and inclusion initiative. in west virginia they did and i got faxed campaign, all things you can argue have some value depending on what your political persuasion is but isn't to educate third and fourth graders in reading and math and make up for the loss of learning they had during the coronavirus pandemic and mental health struggles, we have an opportunity to use this $700 million to do just that, provide tutoring, mental health counseling, provide new curriculum and that is what governors should be doing. stuart: $700 million, let's go get it. patrick hughes, thank you, see you again soon. phil murphy wants to prioritize skills and work experience over college degrees.

which china claims as its own. taiwan says china set a record of 91 penetrations of its air dispense -- defense by chinese planes, the drills were so massive, there's still a few dozen ships and planes around today, chinese military officials say they are now ready to fight. taiwan did its best to be ready for and fend off these possibly real possibly fake incursions. president tsai ing-wen condemned the attack saying they are not the actions of responsible major asian nation. in california, house speaker kevin mccarthy, the congressional delegation came and went, the last few days and the chinese drills only began when french president emmanuel macron wrapped up his cordial 3 day visit with xi jinping.

macron suggested they should not get involved. back home, voices in washington are growing louder that president biden should get more involved. take a listen to how the white house handled that. >> the president looks forward to have another conversation with president xi. i will keep you apprised of that. >> reporter: in the next couple days, president biden will be otherwise occupied in northern ireland, our call to china after that. stuart: otherwise occupied, thanks very much. retired navy seal commander david sears joins us. in your view, how far should america go to defend taiwan? >> they need to give taiwan the

ability to deny china the ability to take the odd. we need to help them defensively, informationwise, in terms of intelligence. it's a key bellwether for the rest of asia as well. japan watches, career watches, the philippines, how taiwan goes. stuart: these latest documents, the document leak reveals we have special operations forces in taiwan. do you approve of that? should we withdraw from? is there danger there? >> it is like dealing with any other partner, we do training on the ground all the time in countries around the world, conducting training and giving assistance. stuart: we should make sure taiwan does not lose? >> yes. stuart: would you be prepared to say we should make sure ukraine does not lose?

>> that a little more sticky. it is interesting. it emmanuel macron says europe should not get involved in the us's problems with china or taiwan. we are involved in ukraine and russia. you constantly have to look at ukraine and say what is our national interest? in china they can have that on and deplete our resources, weapons manufacturing being depleted on the us side, to support, defend and other conflicts. stuart: so you want a statement from president biden on what he wants to win in ukraine. for example, push russians out of all the places they invaded a year ago, would that satisfy you? >> i would love to see what they think the end state of ukraine is. whether i agree with it or not,

that is different story but to define, here's where the goals are and the end state we are working towards. everybody to get unified to understand the direction they are going. it is absolutely necessary. stuart: document leaks reveal the russian military is useless and not doing well and the ukrainians are primed for the spring offensive and they could win. should we back of them? i keep coming back to this question because we are on different sides of the fence. >> back to what you said before. what is winning? i'm not so positive that you can get russia out of the don bus --donbas and crimea. it is one thing, the tactics and technology, but they throw lots and lots of masks at the problem.

they on the border with crimea. i think some resolution, some peaceful resolution has to come about where we are going to cede some previous territory. that looks like the most real paul a check. stuart: we are out of time. we can discuss this all day long, interesting subject. thanks for being with us. thank you. social media platform discord seems to be at the center of the investigation into those leaked documents. you have anything more on this? ashley: discord. it's a san francisco-based website with 150 million monthly users, popular site for videogame players can talk to each other, friends use it to watch movies and do homework together but like other social media sites, it has struggled

to rain and bad actors. it was used to share child pornography and playing a rolling virginia violence in 2017. investigators want to know how dozens of images that claim to be secret documents seem to be surfaced on this site. the intelligence leak could complicate ukraine's military offensive and stop foreign allies sharing sensitive information but how it got there they are trying to find out right now. stuart: thanks very much. some distributors are seeing bud light sales fall dramatically. the company faces backlash for its partnership with the transgender influencer dylan mulvaney. out of control in san francisco, san francisco forces run whole foods store to close its doors a year after it first opened. that story is next. ♪

writing, quote, responsible ai systems could bring enormous benefits but only if you address potential consequences and harms. congress held its first hearing on ai in 2016. since then regulation remained at a standstill. one lawmaker insisted congress can't wait forever to act. >> we need to be ahead of this, not to say, the simplest approach would be we need to regulate ai. what does that mean? ai is a set of codes and algorithms. >> reporter: the white house is engaged in the issue. the president holding a meeting on the ai issue promoting its potential benefits and warning of major impact on national security. ai tech has the capability to reshape the economy. the commerce department projected could increase global economic growth by $13 trillion

investors say they are excited about the possibility of new businesses coming out of this downturn which is in line with the culture of reinvention and rebirth. stuart: whole foods has closed its flagship store in san francisco. this is crime and drug addict outside. ashley: absolutely right. the grocery store in downtown san francisco had already cut its operating hours due to high theft and hostile visitors and then, had to enforce new bathroom rules after syringes and pipes were found in the restaurant but now the flagship grocery stores closing its doors at least for now. whole foods says we are closing our trinity location only for the time being. we feel we can ensure the safety of team members in the store, we will evaluate a
