speak with the issues we discuss first and foremost on most votes minds. 2024 who was pumped up for the election? [cheers and applause] my man donald trump. nikki haley! governor desantis, but what about president desantis? i like it. [cheers and applause] lawrence: you are looking at jacksonville, florida, where the sun is coming up already. one end of the slushy mess mess, ainsley. brian is having breakfast with friends. ainsley: is not too far away. [cheers and applause] at a diner called the metro diner. and he used to live there his wife right down the street, hey, brian. [chanting: usa] film xp when they are pumped up and they love the country. when the sun came up, these guys are hitting their peak. by lunch time, they should be out of control but i m keeping them somewhat under wraps but big final hour and of course we have governor desantis and tom cotton. for people here when you mention leonard skinner jacksonville, johnny van zant here, that
we will get there at the end of the show. all right, a lot to get to this hour but we look ahead to tonight, president biden will deliver the state of the union address in less than nine hours from now. and he certainly will have a lot of explaining to do to the nation. first, there is the growing controversy over the chinese spy balloon that flew over the country for more than a week. before he took action. the record-breaking biden search at the southern border and the scandal surrounding his son hunter. i don t think he will mention that. plus, his address tonight seen as a kickoff for his 2024 campaigns. yes, he is running, i told you he was but he may have a lot of convincing on that front. the poll says majority of democrats don t want him to run again and biden to talk about unity but that may be a tough selling point considering he just said this on friday. judgment till my jobs are up, which is a rub from inflation is down and covid no longer controls our life. the
point you can find yourself banned from social media for even bringing up the possibility of a lab leak. and remember with dr. fauci quick to dismiss it. just weeks ago dr. anthony fauci rejected the conspiracy the coronavirus was made in wuhan, china. both scientists and intelligence committee agreed this coronavirus was not man-made. that is not a possibility. let s take a science look at what is available. it is more likely this came from an animal. you said the overwhelming amount of evidence. i believe most molecular biologist would disagree with you. speak with the lab leak has become a distraction for so many people because quite frankly we still don t know. there is no evidence to say. before the white house downplaying the report because nothing is conclusive and affecting dr. fauci. there is not a consensus right now in the u.s. government about how covid started. there is no peer of the president believes it is really important we continue that work and tha
i wonder how it affected you and how important for us to find out the origins because the energy department, the fbi said it is a lab leak and the others are disagreeing with them but we don t want to go back to where we were back then and have these situations. so, how important is it to know where the origin is? i think it is important because we really need to know the impact on children is disproportionate and the fact covid, i could go to the gym and my son at school, he stayed on zoom not learning and not having anything but facebook. am i a little and was massed for a long time and the worst decision to mask the little ones and have so many language delays. we are seeing unprecedented learning loss to impact our economy for a very long time. ainsley: what about max and tennis? how did it affect them during that year?
belief and so self-satisfied and they can pretend that we don t remember. we remember because this is not news but they are talking about. the news is how we are not able to punish these people are basically calling out everybody for a sensible explanation of covid. going back three years ago we set this on a show, a novel virus in a lab that makes a novel virus. and that somehow is a conspiracy to point out a virus that is not natural appear so different and could be man-made and came from a lab but you can t say that but i will shut up a great example of how accusations of racism can suppress conversation. it happens every issue. so when you brought up the origins of covid had to be in china, then obviously asian folk. it was racist to say china or china virus and they would link it to asian people being
