4:03 am
beginning of another. >> ainsley: i can tell you one story he dated one girl one time. >> lawrence: oh my god don't do it. >> brian: and? >> lawrence: it ended. >> ainsley: so sweet. she loved him. >> lawrence: this is terrible. >> ainsley: talk about covid. brian. [[inaudible] >> brian: dated. >> ainsley: advice so young. you have a huge career ahead of you. maybe you need to focus. because he travels all the time. we will talk about covid. >> brian: four minutes after the hour. >> lawrence: fbi. >> brian: fbi director christopher wray says he believes covid-19 most likely originated in a chinese lab. >> ainsley: beijing not happy about christopher wray's remarks that come as dr. anthony fauci and other administration officials down play that lab leak theory. >> lawrence: let's get reaction from the white house. peter doocy is live at the white house with the latest. what are they saying there that
4:04 am
white house, peter? >> peter: good morning. the fbi director's comments suggest the chinese government was doing something with this virus in a lab and then something happened. >> the fbi has for quite some time now assessed that the origins of the pandemic are most likely a potential lab incident in wuhan. i should add that our work related to this continues and there is not a whole lot of details i can share that aren't classified. >> peter: sources remain a secret, but the chinese foreign ministry is saying certain parties should stop rehashing the lab leak narrative. stop smearing china and stop politicizing origins tracing. well, the house of representatives has a lot of interest in that. >> do you think there's a chance that the wuhan lab was involved in bioweapons research? >> well, i think that we know
4:05 am
for certain that the chinese military is involved in research into coronavirus. >> peter: looking ahead, intel officials say that china may be emboldened. >> there's a taiwanese elections in 2024 it's not going to be good from the view of xi jinping and our own election, which we tend to be sometimes freedom caucus during election. fractious during election. capability will. our capabilities are not where they should be and capacity and their perception which i don't think is right, but the parties perception of our will i think makes it a dangerous period. >> peter: so far the white house is just not putting out the word what exactly the consequence is going to be for china if they are, in fact, found responsible for creating this virus that has killed millions of people back
4:06 am
to you. >> brian: right. just so amazing, peter, they keep saying they are being transparent. no one in the world thinks they are being transparent. yesterday we saw a prime time hearing when 13 republicans and 12 democrats taking place. one thing in our country that brings us together. we all recognize that china is the problem. when asked how big a threat to china to the u.s., let alone the virus that they poisoned the world with, 76% of republicans said it's a major problem. 60% of democrats. that's why we are not seeing much -- fractions between republicans and democrats. and let's get them get some witnesses up there. and then you have got to say, mr. president, here are the facts. the fbi backs them up. secretary of energy backs it up. now, when you meet your good friend, president xi. you tell him that there is a huge problem with this because you won't admit how it happened. which means it could happen again could you imagine shutting down schools, people dying, masking up again. kids are already behind in
4:07 am
school. congressman mike gallagher in his opening remarks yesterday. he is china is trying to pit us against each other. trying to pit democrats against republicans and we need to come together. just because the congress is divided we can't afford it waste the next two years lingering in legislative limbo or pandering to the press. we must act with a sense of urgency he is absolutely right. >> lawrence: the problem is congress, for the most part is unified on the issue as you noted, brian it's the white house. >> cia, too. >> lawrence: doesn't make any sense. even if you want to look at it shouldn't be political as you said, brian it, should unite all americans. even if you want to look at it from a political standpoint, this is the villain that joe biden needs. can you imagine if he really took on china the reaction he would get from the american people by standing up to the people that caused this? but the big problem is why do they dismiss so many doctors
4:08 am
that called this out from the very beginning? dr. marty makary had an interview with brian earlier. here is what he had to say. >> the epicenter of the world was five miles from one of the few labs. the records were destroyed. the doctors were arrested. there was a lab leak in china in 1977. the tata are overwhelming. what they did is dismissed any different opinion which, by the way, was like half of doctors out there are saying, wait a minute, we are not on board and then they made it look like there was a consensus among doctors. well, there is a consensus because they censored and canceled many doctors. >> brian: the china threat is real. we saw it yesterday when elon musk came out in support of this whole lab leak theory. they came and shot aoutthe bough hey, if you want to sell your teslas if i could just summarize in china stop tweeting and take it back about the lab leak theory. i want to see elon musk, is he nothing if not bought even
4:09 am
though we are capitalist society. is it worth selling to our number one enemy in order for you to make a profit. >> lawrence: that's the problem, brian. we have to be on the same -- all the businesses have to agree. >> brian: apple, nike. >> lawrence: if we all stand together on the issue. we can't just says at thela, you do it by yourself. it has to be nike, tesla, and everyone. that sends the message to china. >> ainsley: we need to start producing these products here in america. i was in a store and dad telling children. dad wchild wanted to buy somethn the look at the back of it is it made in china. turned it over and made in china. i'm watching off in the corner. i started a conversation with him after that. we don't allow our children to buy anything. we do the best we cannot to buy from china. line. >> brian: we all do. let's move on 2024 student debt debate. got all the way to the supreme court. the arguments are the fascinating. everybody says, you know, nobody wants a 21-year-old to sit there and look at $250,000 worth of
4:10 am
student debt. we know it's tough to deal with. everyone has been doing it. you sign these loans of your own free will. make your parents do as well for two years. we have been just sucking wind on this. they have been frozen. payments haven't come forward, it's really not fair. paying your car loan and house loan but not paying your student loan. the president wants to get rid of it at the cost of $500 billion. is that unbelievable? so it's up to the supreme court and says is this constitutional? >> ainsley: the supreme court heard opening arguments yesterday. and it looks like the majority of the conservatives, at least, are questioning whether or not the department of education even has the ability to do this. if they are able to say we are going to pay off student loans. because they were talking about, actually, let chief justice john roberts talk about fairness. is this fair to you if you have already paid off your student loans, that kind of thing. listen. >> if you're going to give up that much amount of money, if you are going to affect the obligations of that many americans on a subject that's of great controversy, they would
4:11 am
think that's something for congress to act on. and if they haven't acted on it, then maybe that's a good lesson to say for the president, or the administrative bureaucracy that maybe that's not something they should undertake on their own. >> what i think the argument is missing is cost to other persons in terms of fairness, for example. people who have paid their loans, people who don't -- have planned their lives not seeking loans and people who are not eligible for loans in the first place. and half a trillion dollars is being diverted to one group of favored persons over others. >> lawrence: so in response to the constitution and the legal argument that -- by the way the president of the united states agrees with that nancy pelosi agrees with, before they decided to do this bill anyway,. >> brian: they said they weren't able to do it. >> lawrence: right they said they weren't able to do it. unconstitutional. i don't understand why we are lit gaght this when the people that are responsible for this admitted this. this is what randi weingarten had to say.
4:12 am
>> really pisses me off. during the pandemic we understood that small businesses were hurting. and we helped them and it didn't go to the supreme court to challenge it. big businesses were hurting, and we helped them, and it didn't go to the supreme court to challenge it. all of a sudden when it's about our students, they challenge it. the corporations challenge it, the student loan lenders challenge it. that is not right. that is not fair. and that is what we are fighting as well when we say cancel student debt. >> brian: what an embarrassment. >> lawrence: i'm so sorry, brian. i have never met someone more loud and wrong. to say allow our kids. the teachers god bailed out, too. they asked -- so they wanted to get the. >> brian: schools got bailed out. >> lawrence: they wanted new ventilation systems in the school. they got all of that and still
4:13 am
didn't want to go back to the school. then, on top of that, when you talk about our kids, are our kids smarter after the pandemic? >> brian: this is college. >> ainsley: school unions. teachers really worked overtime during the pandemic. >> lawrence: some teachers did but a lot of the teachers were at home. they may have had good intention. but our kids. >> ainsley: be careful i come from a long line of teachers and they take so much out of their own paychecks they don't get paid enough. they worked overtime during the pandemic. >> lawrence: i think most americans agree with the loving teachers that go out there and do their job. you can't look at where our kids are right now and give them a round of applause as a whole to see what happens. >> ainsley: here's the thing. >> brian: one thing student loans, $20,000 per borrower. it would affect about 40 million people. and what they're saying is what do you mean college students weren't affected? they have not paid one dime of their student loan back since the pandemic started. you have have had two and a half
4:14 am
years of freeze to rebuild your coffers, to get yourself forward in your education and your career. that almost nobody else has when it comes to student loan because they are relentless. although i did at one point i got a defetterman and i would pay more. i think it was six or 18 months, when i came back my payment was a lot higher. i don't think you break that covenant. and what these guys are saying at the supreme court, why don't you pass legislation? why am i dealing with this? guys, sit down, come up with a plan if you feel college is too expensive. that's not the issue. yeah, college is too expensive. this is only going to make it worse. people are going to feel can i go afford college. i don't have to worry about paying back my loan. class of 2028 do they have to pay back loans? >> ainsley: if you are young. if you do, if you are young, i love that it would help you out. i love that it would take the stress off of you. i remember when like reichmuth we were anchoring together it was the last payment. and he will went out to celebrate that afternoon. because he had worked like 20 years before he paid it off. it sounds like it's great.
4:15 am
>> brian: a lot of umbrellas. >> ainsley: however, think about our parents. my dad put himself through college. his goal was to put all three of us through college. he is retired and on fixed income. now he has to pay for other people to go to college. that's the people i feel sorry for. >> brian: 18 years old and landscaping company and it take out a loan cosign with your parents. all of a sudden paying back a student loan. you made a choice to be a landscaper. >> lawrence: who does this help? the people that have higher wages as well? i got the advice from stuart varney. obviously i have been blessed with opportunity to be here. i still have student loans. i put it all in an account to figure out what is going to happen first. i don't think it's fair to anyone. i mean, obviously, can i pay for the loans, but if this happens, i'm not going to miss out on the opportunity as well. >> ainsley: you are going to take that money. >> lawrence: i think this shows you the type of example of who it helps versus the people that went to trade school, the people -- they weren't just going to go to college and start
4:16 am
a business. >> brian: you go to stuart varney and i go to charles payne. see who ends up with more money. everyone pick their favorite business guy. why don't you introduce, you are a guest. >> lawrence: this was lawrence's guest. lawrence interviewed a woman named brenna bird the iowa attorney general. why she is fighting biden's student loan handout in the supreme court. listen to this. >> the people who are on the hook to pay for this are also those who didn't go to college who went straight into the workforce or military or started a business and now they're on the hook for somebody else's gender studies. and, you know, many of them don't make a quarter of a million dollars that a married couple can make under biden's cancellation plan and still get $20,000 each in student debt cancellation. so, you know, it's really fundamentally unfair and unconstitutional. i learned a long time ago to not predict what a court will do or how they will do it but i can tell you that i think our
4:17 am
constitutional arguments are very strong and i felt like yesterday at the argument the court was asking all the right questions. >> ainsley: used to be 10, right? now it's 20? >> lawrence: they doubled it. >> ainsley: hand it over to ashley. >> ashley: good morning, guys. hope you are all doing well after that little conversation. we are going to have to switch gears now to the latest on the murdaugh double murder trial. this morning, the jury will visit the crime scene where the state says alex murdaugh gunned down his wife and son. state prosecutors rested their rebuttal yesterday after calling six witnesses to the stand. this does include murdaugh's long-time friend and former law partner ronny controls buy. listen. >> if you think i have come in here and told this jury something because of money, when we're talking about two people who were brutally murdered. then you're headed in the wrong direction. >> court is expected to resume around 11:00 a.m. eastern. chicago mayor lori lightfoot is on her way out.

4:25 am
>> good morning, how are you? >> ainsley: you are against this. will it pass? go ahead. >> first, let me say i don't represent the whole school board and when i was elected because i'm an elected official, i was sworn in because we are a constitutional republic that i would uphold the constitution and put them first. when i do my due diligence and look into it. when we first were shown this program, i saw that it had social-emotional learning. my first thought is what do feelings have to do with math? so that's where it all began. >> ainsley: those are our thoughts, too. how do they explain that? what do feelings have to do with math? >> exactly. so, they are going to do a presentation now of the whole program on march 7th at our curriculum committee meeting. but i have since done more research and found out that the program just started last year, so there isn't any data to see if it's really a good system to
4:26 am
use. and then i also found out that in 200819 the baltimore city school system started a building a generation program which instituted this same exact social emotional learning collaborative with academics. and if anybody should have gotten through the pandemic with flying colors focusing on what they say is a great program, then it should -- they should be a lot better off than they are right now. >> ainsley: jeanne, you remember the nation's report card came out last year sometime in the fall. fourth graders were down five points in math. eighth grader where was down 8 points in math. why the heck are they focusing on if 2 plus 2 equals 4 if that makes you sad or happy when our kids are not doing well? >> exactly, right. we should be creating critical thinkers getting into the math mindset or what am i feeling today or somebody else is feeling. >> ainsley: who on the school

4:35 am
>> well, there is -- that is a question that might take decades to answer. you know, i am a mathematician i follow the numbers. chicago political math tells me that brandon johnson, the votes that he got last night, you can add the majority of lightfoot's numbers to that total and the majority of chuy gathers' numbers and you will kind of get a picture of what might happen on april 4th. the date of the runoff. you know, chicago got a miracle last night. the miracle that we were all praying for, you know, i don't want to get too greedy with the miracles but i'm very thankful that god answered our prayers last night. >> lawrence: he answered my prayers too. gentlemen, thanks so much for joining the program. >> thanks. >> lawrence: cracking down on china. the new house committee zeroing in on the red threat holding first hearing. rod wittman sits on the committee and he joins us live

beta male. he doesn't know what he believes half the time. he goes back and forth on things. they also love free stuff. like every plates that you see that people are giving them houses to live. in part of the contingent was they wanted all the pay still from the royals but didn't want to do the duties of being a royal. >> that's right. this is a problem of meghan's and not of harry's. harry, i mean, keeps on pretending to be amazed about the discoveries he has made of the family he grew up in, his autobiography was called "spare" took him 30 or 40 years to figure out he was second son. this came as a shock to him in his late 30's. meghan seems to have a less idea of what being royal actually entails. if you are going to be given grace and favor houses apartments and all that sort of thing you have to do some public duties. the public duties seem to be quite onerous to meghan. cutting ribbons. >> lawrence: so hard. >> it's good work, a lot of it.
