>> that's where sheriff t.k. waters who joined us yesterday at the metro diner. he is in charge of making the city of jacksonville safe again. >> that was fun. >> all the fun back to the studio. >> all the fun. we were no fun. you brought it all. >> don't get mad at me. >> listen to his radio show. >> bill: good morning, everybody. the origins of covid coming into clear clear focus today. chris wray the latest to say it leaked from a lab in china. why is the white house waivering? we'll try to figure that out. big show today. >> dana: i'm a dana perino and thi this is -- the department of energy say an accident at a

chinese facility started the pan pandemic. >> the f.b.i. has for quite some time now assessed that the origins of the pandemic are most likely a potential lab incident in wuhan. the f.b.i. has agents, professionals, analysts, etc. , who focus specifically on the dangers of biological threats. so here you are talking about a potential leak from a chinese government-controlled lab that killed millions of americans. that's precisely what that capability was designed for. >> bill: wow. the mounting evidence sparking a push for accountability. special house committee on china held its first hearing last night. lawmakers both sides republicans and democrats calling for action not only on covid but also on china's threats against taiwan and the role in the deadly fentanyl trade today. >> dana: glenn youngkin is on

deck with us in studio. let's go to the white house where lucas tomlinson is standing by. >> the f.b.i. director providing the first public confirmation of the borough's classified assessment into the origins of covid. here is congressman jim banks. >> do you think there is a chance the wuhan lab was involved in bioweapons research? >> well, i think that we know for certain that the chinese military is involved in research into coronaviruss. >> china's foreign ministry responding to the energy department and f.b.i. director say the coronavirus most likely came from a lab leak certain parties should stop rehashing the lab leak narrative and stop smearing china and china has been criticized for not helping with the tracing. donald trump's national security advisor says china is now a bigger threat than the soviet

union at the height of the cold war. >> do you think that china poses a greater threat to our freedom and the world's freedom than the soviet union ever did? >> yes, i do. >> president biden is not weighing in on the f.b.i. nor energy department's classified assessments. many lawmakers want to see an invoice sent to china for wrecking the u.s. economy. >> dana: thank you. >> bill: want to bring in the republican governor out of virginia, a busy man. he lives his life in a hurry. >> thank you for having me. >> bill: we have to recognize two things. the competition is here and the consensus in washington is here. republicans and democrats participating in the hearing last night. with that being said, what should in your view be the relationship between beijing and washington. >> we first have to identify the fact that what chinese

government's goal is to dominate the world and do it at the expense of the united states. we're seeing bipartisan support for that view but unfortunately the democrats the end to pull up short, right? when it gets difficult they compromise and we have to have unity on this point. even chuck schumer said it the other day. big stop number one. it's not a friendly rivalry. this is, in fact, a race to win the future of the globe and china is trying to do it at the expense of the united states. what that means is that we cannot be weak and what the biden administration has been at every step along the way with china is weak. we see the way they handled democratic protests in hong kong. they crushed them. they use every avenue possible in surveillance between tiktok that we banned in virginia and finally the federal government after 30 states have banned tiktok. i don't call that leadership but following.

virginia we have banned bad actors from buying our farmland. finally we have to recognize that the most coercive step of the chinese government is through economic imperialism. it was a protection market of old and now they're projecting their come knifed ideology through economics around the world and we have to recognize and stand up for the most trusted industries we know are the future of the united states. semi conductor. electric vehicles and batteries, energy supplied broadly which includes traditional energy supplies. we have to protect these industry and trusted slight chains that are american dominated or trusted international partners. it's clear, china, north korea, iran, russia, these aren't trusted international partners and make sure they aren't part of our supply chains. >> dana: you come from the private sector and i think we can all agree what the committee is talking about, the government

needs to do something different with china. do you think the business come unity and wall this is on the same page but want to continue to do business with china even though there is a national security conflict coming? >> this has been the footsy the business community played with china for so long. reality is china has changed dramatically in the last 5 to 10 years and what used to be a very china-focused strategy to protect their market. in 2016, general motors is trying to sell electric vehicles in china using a korean battery. the chinese government says no, you must use a chinese manufacturer. they pushed in a company into that. that's wildly protectionist for chinese economy. now they push it outside of china. so businesses just need to wake up. this is what they'll do and how they are acting. it is an imperialistic approach

and businesses need to step back is this market comfortable? >> bill: we need to define that relationship. >> real quick. why we have to identify these most important industries that are key to our national security that we cannot compromise on. unfortunately the biden administration is willing to compromise on anything. they stand up and as soon as it gets tough they'll step back and allow china to do what they need to do. they have to stand up now. >> bill: you mentioned joe biden. the other day he went to virginia. you said he should go to east palestine, ohio. he said the following about how he characterizes the republican party. watch. >> president biden: an awful lot of really good republicans. the maga republicans are a different breed of cat. they are very different. kind of like in my view two republican parties. >> unfortunately you are from ohio. he should go to ohio. when there is americans in need

and they are in need of leadership a president should show up. what he is demonstrating he will choose politics over people. he will come to virginia. i understand why he wants to come to virginia. virginia is rocking and rolling. when i was elected in 2021 and been in office a little over a year we have virginia moving economically. we're fixing education and standing up for law enforcement. i know why he wants to come to virginia because we're rocking and rolling. the flip side is you have to lead when you are president. he is a follower. unfortunately the ohio situation particularly screams for leadership and he hasn't done it. the challenge we have is joe biden would rather try to divide us as a nation and try to put people in this or that box as opposed to now bring us together and recognize we have to have unity against china. unity on the border because we miss fix the border. it is a national security crisis where we are seeing not only people's lives put in jeopardy

but seeing the free flow of fentanyl poisoning people all over america. virginia is a border state today. we have to be lock armed in our economy. joe biden is driving inflation now and says raise taxes. in virginia we're lowering taxes. people need more access to their money at a time when the economy is so tough. >> bill: all he has to do is listen to the chris wray interview with bret from last night. >> dana: jeff row is on the sunday show this weekend. >> reality is this is a two-person race between donald trump and ron desantis. a small field. the money is not there. debate stage rules will keep it very limited. a donor threshold and national polling. there is no room for a third or fourth or fifth person in this race. >> dana: is that how you see it? >> i am not looking at 2024 right now. i look at 2023.

we just got through our legislative session and i have a budget to negotiate. our priorities in virginia, i believe, are representative of the priorities for america. we have to get taxes down, allow people to keep more of their own money. invest in education and stand for excellence in education not watered down priorities. we have to stand up for law enforcement. >> dana: if you get into the 2024 race you can't do it at the end of 2023. that is happening now. >> i have said to everyone. this question i get asked quite a bit. i'm humbled by it. i was a kid 40 years washing dishes and taking out trash and three years ago in the business world. so while i'm reasonably new to this what i know is that i have to stay foixed on the job i'm hired to do. that job is to make sure that virginia continues to drive towards that excellent position where businesses come, where people -- parents feel confident their children will receive a great education and communities are safe. these are the issues americans

are focused on and why virginia gets so much attention. we came in at a time when virginia had moved so far to the left and all of these key principles were compromised. in the little over a year i've been governor we've taken them all head on and delivered on what we said. >> bill: sounds like a campaign in the works here. jeff rowe is a strategist for you came back on monday and called you a unicorn in american politics and then said you will make a lane for yourself you don't need one created for you. describe that lane for us today as we sit here on the first of march 2020. >> so again thank you. those are comments that jeff made. i have not talked to jeff about these comments over the weekend. what i have been so focused on is delivering for virginia. you see, there is a reality which is people elect you because they want to trust you

to deliver. i believe i was elected at a time when trust had been eroded in the political system in virginia and they wanted a governor to deliver for tax cuts and fixing education and making government work better and delivering behavioral health outcomes to deliver for all pooh emotion in virginia. that's my job. if i deliver well on those priorities, then people in virginia will be happy they elected glenn youngkin as governor. >> dana: do you think they would want a governor to run for re-election. >> we have one term governors. we better get going. i bring a real sense of urgency to the job. we work hard, our administration works hard. i told everybody at a cabinet meeting. we have another gear. we can accelerate and deliver more and do it faster. this is a whole new approach to government and we prove it

works. it takes a different mindset and it takes a different kind of leader. one who understands how to not just scope out where we want to go but to get us there. >> bill: your state constitution limits you to one term so you will have some decisions to make eventually. thank you for coming in today. okay? we'll stay in contact. >> dana: great to have you. thank you so much. political news. >> in the end you don't always win every battle but you never regret taking on the powerful and bringing in the light. >> dana: lori lightfoot should have had a heavy hand if her city's crime crisis. she lost her bid for re-election. the first chicago mayor to do so in nearly 40 years. democrats vallas and johnson advance to a runoff. garrett tenney is live in chicago. >> after four years chicagoans want to take a new direction and lori lightfoot missed out on the runoff by three points to

brandon johnson who got 20% of the vote and face former chicago schools head paul vallas who got 33% in the runoff. the two candidates have vastly different strategies for how to get the city turned around. johnson endorsed by the teachers union wants to raise taxes and has supported defunding the police. he stopped using that term on the campaign trail but says his goal is redirect money to social services to try to address the root causes of crime. here he is last night. >> we deserve a chicago that is better, stronger, safer for everyone. no matter where you live, no matter what you look like. you deserve to have a better, stronger, safer chicago. >> paul vallas endorsed by the police union has focused his entire campaign message on crime argues the city needs to hire more police officers and reverse policies that he argues

restricts them from doing their jobs. >> i want to thank the voters of chicago for making this campaign about the issues and nothing but the issues. public safety is the fundamental right of every american. it is a civil right. we will make chicago the safest city in america. >> that's a lot easier said than done. crime and safety are expected to continue to be the top issues in this race. the two candidates have vastly different strategies on how to achieve that. >> dana: remarkable results. glad you were there to cover it for us. thank you. >> a six fought four shooter cannot be excluded from the murder of mailingy and paul. >> nothing that would exclude that height. i cannot inclued or exclude two shooters.

>> bill: the prosecution resting its case in south carolina. the jury is getting ready for a field trip to the scene of the double murder. that's happening this morning to the 1700 acre ranch. what will they see when they arrive? that's coming up. >> dana: the ohio trail derailment reigniting the debate on rail safety. what role should the federal government play? vance is proposing new legislation on that. >> bill: as americans head to mexico the cdc issues a dire warning on the fentanyl being sold in that country. what you need to know before you go. >> you name it, i got it. >> you name it, i got it. 40% off on any medication. veteran homeowners: to combat today's rising prices, lower your monthly payments with the 3 c's. pay down your credit cards. pay off your car loan. consolidate your debt with a va home loan from newday.

>> i want to remind folks that at any point the company fails to comply with the actions ordered by epa we'll immediately step in, conduct the work that needs to be done, and then force norfolk southern to pay triple the cost in accordance with the powers granted to my agency. >> bill: that's michael regan gawk in east palestine, ohio touring the disaster site for the third time. the governor will be there today as we mark the one month mark later in week. j.d. vance laying the blueprint to hold norfolk southern accountable for the cleanup and to change laws out of washington. senator, good morning and thank you for your time today. you have this proposed legislation. sherod brown is in with you, the senators from pennsylvania are in on it. give us a brief outline on what it will do if passed. >> a few basic things.

one of the things we saw in east palestine. the firefighters weren't aware of what was on the train when they went and responded to this train crash in the first place. we would make it so rail companies have to label these trains as high hazards so local authorities know what's on the trains. who other important things. the first is we would require nat national sensor installation would hopefully not be repeated in other situations. finally, we give the fining process teeth. right now when the train companies cause these problems, it is little more than a slap on the wrist. we actually would incrows the penalties, make it so if a train company causes what happened in east palestine they suffer some real consequences. all of this is an important part of making our railways safer and making sure what happened in east palestine either doesn't happen again or certainly happens much less frequently in the future.

>> bill: we watch governor dewine live. he and his wife have arrived in east palestine and he made several trips there. you have as well. what strikes me, senator, requiring two-person crews. this train had three and also this enhancing of safety procedures for all trains as they move across the country. it sounds like a good idea but what specifically in here would have prevented east palestine from happening. >> well one of the things we've learned. you've heard pete buttigieg and other folks from the left say it with as caused by trump-era reregulation. that's actually not true. it was caused by a defective ball bearing. one of the things the legislation would do is require a national sensor system to identify the ball bearing defects as they are happening. you find it, catch it, repair it before you have the catastrophic situation like what you had in

east palestine. that is the main thing to keep it from happening again. >> bill: ultimately you are still relying on human beings to do their jobs, right? >> sure. that's right. look, one of the things we do in this legislation is require additional crewing. right now allot of these trains have one person crews. on this one there was a three-person crew. we talk about a thousand train derailments in this country every year. this legislation would hopefully make that less likely by increasing the number of people on the trains. look, it is still a small crew. these guys are effective and know what they are doing. increasing the number of personnel on these trains would have a positive impact in bringing down some of the train crashes. >> bill: pete buttigieg yesterday on the lessons talking on cnn. >> we're focusing on lessons learned when it comes to rail safety. the reality is that the freight rail industry has wielded a lot of power in washington but this is a moment when i believe we

can raise the bar in terms of what we expect and what we require from freight railroads so fewer communities have to go through what the people of east palestine are dealing with right now. >> bill: it sounds on the surface he is talking about a lot of things you are talking about here. how do you think this administration has done, senator? >> look, i have to say it has been catastrophic. he sounds good but what he has done has been a total disaster. if you look from the early days of the crisis, pete buttigieg instead of asking tough questions about why this happened and going about fixing them. he immediately tried to blame the prior administration and he blamed them for a problem that wasn't even real. even the "washington post" has fact checked the leadership of the department of transportation and said it was not trump-era deregulation that caused the problem but a lot of issues that we need to fix. if you are too busy blaming the prior administration instead of leading and doing your job you will never fix the problem. i think secretary butte butte

has been a disaster on this issue and real leadership is finding solutions, not blaming other people. >> bill: i see this morning the ceo of norfolk southern will testify before the senate next week on capitol hill. something we'll be watching. thank you for your time today. senator j.d. vance from ohio thanks. >> dana: on that note a deadly train collision in greece happened last night. 36 people killed. dozens injured. officials say a passenger train and cargo train were running towards each other on the same track for several miles before they slammed into one another. the cause is under investigation and word coming in just now that greece's transport minister has resigned over the incident. >> bill: another alert. members of the new house committee on china in rare agreement on one thing. the threat posed by the ccp out of beijing. how a divided congress can come together to protect u.s. interests here and overseas.

son were shot to death in 2021. quite a day when they get to take a field trip. >> very interesting, dana. the field trip comes at the request of the defense. the jury first thing this morning will be taken out to moselle that belongs to the defendant. the place where his wife and son were fatally shot. the judge granted the request under strict conditions. jurors may not ask questions of anyone except the judge. up to this point jurors have only seen photos and video of the property as well as attorneys reenacting various scenarios of the shooting right there in the courtroom. late yesterday the prosecution rested after calling on rebuttal witnesses to challenge defense theories on how the crime was carried out. they say by an unknown shooter or multiple shooters. >> what is your opinion of the

defense's expert that says the shooter could not have been six feet four inches tall like alex murdaugh? >> i think it's a flawed opinion. >> prosecutors tried to damage the defendant's credibility as a witness. former sheriff contradicted murdaugh's testimony that he gave last week in which murdaugh said he had asked the sheriff's permission to install blue lights on a vehicle for his personal use. >> matter of fact, i never had a conversation with anyone in my 39 years about installing blue lights in your personal vehicle. >> that's not something that's done, is it sir? >> oh no, no. >> closing arguments are expected to get underway once the jury returns from moselle. >> dana: jonathan serrie, thank you. >> we are the good guys that even on our worst day, the rest of the world is still looking to

us for leadership. i think it illustrates that a world in which people are free is a world unsafe for the ccp. the goal of the cpp has become clear to displace u.s. and other competitors in tomorrow's strategic industries. the economic policies of the chinese communist party represent a clear and present danger to the american worker, innovation base and national security. >> dana: they debuted in prime time in a hearing outlining the case for what it calls a crisis with china. in a rare show of unity committee members promised to put their differences aside in the interest of national security. let's bring in steven hadley. former national security advisor to george w. bush and author of a new back called hand-off, the foreign policy george bush passed off to barack obama. it is a treasure if you are into foreign policy. last night was the first of several hearings.

axios called it this. capitol hill's great unifier. china is the only issue percenting the bitter partisan bubble on a consistent and meaningful basis. what do you think of this? you've been in washington a long time. hard to get bipartisan support. this coalescing around a common threat in china. >> i think that's right, dana. there is bipartisan consensus that china represents an enormous challenge to the united states. i welcome these hearings. i think they will be very important for waking up the american people to the challenge that we face in china. we have to recognize it's a challenge like no other we've faced. soviet union in the cold war was a military power but an economic pygmy and had communism that at the end of the day failed in the marketplace with ideas of the but china is an emerging military threat.

an economic powerhouse, a diplomatic force in the world today and it has an ideology of authoritarian state capitalism resonating particularly in the global south. so we have our hands full. it is important that this be done on a bipartisan basis. so whatever policies we adopt will carry forward from administration to administration. >> dana: the ranking chairman, congressman, says we don't want war with china. listen to him here. >> we must deter the aggression by the ccp. we do not want a war with the prc. not a cold war, not a hot war. we don't want a clash of civilizations, but we seek a durable peace and that is why we have to deter aggression. >> dana: two questions. one a lot of these conflicts come to us and then we have to fight. so what is the best way to deter that from happening? >> well, a number of things that

people are already talking about. we have to help taiwan strengthen its own defenses that is not an inviting target. we have to strengthen our friends and allies in the region. south korea, japan, australia to resist the pressure from china. we've got to restrengthen our own presence in the region. south and east china sea remain international sea lanes and airwaves rather than becoming chinese control. there are a lot of things to do in the region and at home to put ourselves in a position to compete successfully with china economically and to prevent china from disrupting our own political system by encouraging our divisions at home. >> dana: if you look back during

your time serving as national security advisor under president bush and the relationship with china at that point and the one we have now with the bipartisan committee and all of this agreement in america, 70% of americans agree it's a threat. what happened? >> you know, dana, one of the interesting things about the book is to read the transmission memo on china we left for the obama administration. what it shows is that the china george w. bush faced was very different from the china we see today. that china in 2001 to 2009 was looking for a benign international environment to focus on its own economic development. it wanted to be part of the international system rather than disrupt it and it wanted a constructive and cooperative relationship with the united states. we tried to do that. we tried to bring china into the international system. but at the same time hedgeed our

bets a bit by strengthening our presence in the region and strengthening friends and allies. it is a different china today because xi had a very different idea in mind for where china should head. he decided china should step up, take its place in the international system, try to modify that international system so it is more favorable to china and adopted a much more aggressive policy internationally with respect to the neighborhood but also globally. that is a different china. i think it really is the result of a leader xi who had a different agenda for his country. it is a good thing we did those efforts we took to strengthen allies in the region. it is our relationship with those allies that we will need in order to deal with the china challenge. >> dana: steve hadley, congratulations on the book and appreciate you coming on. love to see you more often. >> thanks for having me.
