the first one is brought by a group of republican-led states. the other by individual borrowers who say they were unfairly excluded. bill: the two cases present a direct threat to one of the president s signature policies. the plan would wipe out more than $4 hundred billion in student debt and pay $10,000 to people making less than $125,000 a year and $20,000 to those who got pell grants for low income households. dana: the high stakes legal battle is dividing lawmakers right down the middle. those of us watching this closely are praying and hoping that they will do the right thing and say that the president cannot be the congress and the executive branch. he can t be the legislative and the executive branch. he has no authority to do what he is doing. our government is supposed to be about people. not making money out of us going to school or seeking higher education. dana: shannon bream is live outside the supreme court. good morning, shannon. there are speaker
john: to say the least. the supreme court deciding whether president biden could ignore congress or go on one of the biggest spending sprees in u.s. history, wiping out student loan debt for millions of americans. and over on capitol hill, lawmakers are holding hearings on both the china threat and the border crisis. sandra: that s where we start a border bust netting enough fentanyl to kill 50 million people. and one mother who knows the drug s devastation all too well. we have a weather balloon from china going across our country. nobody died, and everybody is freaking out about it. but 100,000 die every year and nothing is being done, not enough is being done. you talk about children being taken away from their parents. my children were taken away from me. john: just some of what we heard during today s house hearing on the border crisis. mother who lost two of her sons to fentanyl poisoning not only grieving but also getting downright angry. sandra: and just now
student debt power grab. the president flouted the law and used the pandemic to claim breathtaking authority. shannon is right about that. the court has ruled twice now overturning some of these mandates that had been in place for the u.s. in the meantime, the president is on record that 60 minutes interview in september saying pandemic is pretty much over and then his counterpart in the house nancy pelosi kind of said the same thing, right, before he did. listen july of 2021. people think the president of the united states has the power for debt forgiveness. he does not. he can postpone. he can delay. but he does not have that power. that has to be an act of congress. dana: it would seem she agrees with the republican a.g.s at that point and then they change their mind and a lot of people think it was all because of politics. it will get underway. if you have a small business and didn t go to college and stake out a student loan but to buy your tools you are not included
sandra: here s the way the nebraska attorney general is taking this on in a lawsuit against the administration over these students loans. why we re challenging biden s student debt power grab. the president cannot have it both ways. the nebraska a.g. says he can t tell the country that the pandemic is over while claiming that it justifies this unilateral action. and by the way, a reminder of nancy pelosi rewind to 2021 when she said this. people think that the president of the united states has the power for debt forgiveness. he does not. he can postpone. he can delay. but he does not have that power. that has to be an act of congress. sandra: here we are today, dave. i can t believe i m on fox news saying that i agree with nancy pelosi. hell must have frozen over over here. i m not sure he can even delay
