4:02 am
the daytona 500 as william by bn gets his first daytona win and is he going to join us live. the second hour of "fox & friends" starts right now and remember, mornings are better with friends. >> ainsley: this is a fox news alert. at noon today, nikki haley expected to deliver a state of the race speech in greenville, south carolina. >> steve: we don't know exactly what that means. the former governor looking to narrow the gap ahead of saturday's primary in his home state after making her case right here on "fox & friends" yesterday why she should win. >> but this is a fact we can't have two 80-year-old candidates being our only choices. 70% of americans have said they don't want a trump-biden rematch. 59% of americans have said trump's too old and biden's too old to be president. let's put in someone that can spend 8 years disciplined, no drama, no vendettas, no chaos. and let's get some real things done for our children, our
4:03 am
grandchildren, and future generations. that should be our focus. >> steve: right. >> griff: latest poll from citadel shows haley trailing president trump by more than 30 points. see it there. >> lawrence: this hasn't stopped the super pac from pouring money into her campaign on super tuesday on march the 5th. as for her arrival former president trump could see major hits to his real estate empire. he spent decades building in new york. >> ainsley: some of his top assets like trump tower could be on the chopping block after a judge ruled against him in that civil fraud trial. >> steve: mademadeleine rivera s us live to explain. so, madeline, it's all about he has got to come up with $400 million. and if he doesn't have the cash, he has got to sell some stuff, right? >> yeah. it's still up in the air how they will pay this bond, so, it's a massive amount though, steve, because, as you mentioned, they have to cover the $355 million in damages. and then some even as they appeal. >> you are looking at roughly
4:04 am
let's call it close to $400 million for something that he did nothing wrong. look, it's no coincidence and i will say it, they know, by looking at his statements of conditional condition, that this guy is worth a lot of money. billions and billions of billions of dollars. so. >> where will the money come from? that's the big question. trump's team did not confirm whether the former president would consider selling some of the iconic properties in his sprawling real estate portfolio that could include trump tower, trump park avenue and 40 wall street. according to forbes, trump is worth about $2.6 billion with his new york city real estate accounting for about $700 million of his wealth. new york attorney general la tichina shah james who brought the case against trump praised the decision saying it shows no one is above the law. she accused trump of deceiving banks and lenders for years, inflating his business assets to secure better loans. but some critics say the judge's ruling will scare off investors from the big apple. >> i would never invest in new
4:05 am
york now. and i'm not the only person saying that. >> and this has nothing to do with trump. nothing to do with trump. forget about trump. this is not a trump situation. this is a new york problem now. >> the former president is under a time crunch. they have to appeal within 30 days. a deadline his team is confident they will meet. guys? >> steve: all right. madeline, thank you very much. >> you got it. of course. thank you. >> steve: you bet. i was just reading in unique, if he has.com up with $400 million or north of that, the big question is will he have to sell things off? and then it becomes you know, if he wants to do it but he refuses to pay the civil fine after the civil fraud trial. according to "newsweek," the attorney general of new york, which does not -- who does not like the former president, could actually seize some properties. >> and essentially then liquidate them at fire sale prices. so, you know, if he doesn't come up with the cash, she might just say all right, we're putting these things on sale.
4:06 am
who wants to buy it. >> lawrence: i think when you have the governor that is now commenting on this, you are seeing the ripple effect of the action. even though her target and don't take my words for it before she even became attorney general, she campaigned. >> steve: sure. >> lawrence: on getting donald trump. that was the intention there. but the ripple effect is the businesses in new york that are saying you got kevin o'leary who is not some trump super fan saying this is not good for business. he goes i would never do business in new york in the real estate industry if this is going to have -- if this is going to be the way it goes down. remember, ainsley, if you look at the trial, it seems like the judge had no knowledge about real estate and how it works and evaluations and all that the governor is now telling businesses don't panic, we're just going after donald trump. not you as well. >> ainsley: well, you know, he has got this go fund me page now. there are a lot of democrats complaining about that. he shouldn't be able to use that platform selling the tennis shoes, too.
4:07 am
that is exorbitant amount of money for someone who has done so much for this city that we all take advantage of. >> lawrence: and no victim. >> ainsley: i'm sorry? >> and no victim. >> ainsley: he appraised his properties for different prices and what this judge is saying. >> griff: don't bury the lead. sneakers. gold sneakers. when i saw those sneakers, and i'm on a tan jentd here. but i remember in the 190s they had the nike pumps, air pumps. so on the tongue you pumped a basketball that pumped the shoes up. i spent so much money on those i had like three pairs of those. >> ainsley: going for 300, $400. they are all sold out. maybe they will do a second batch. i don't think you receive them until july. >> steve: i think you made a thousand. >> lawrence: i'm a sucker for shoes. >> griff: lawrence's point the most important one here when a guy has a show called shark tank and has a dog in his political fight, has a show bin vesting says don't invest based on this.
4:08 am
that is not nothing. >> ainsley: not a good ins vestment when people are leaving the city now and so expensive to buy property here. if you are going to buy something, buy it counsel in florida. not new york, necessarily. although we have done some stories that say if you buy in new york your chances of reselling your apartment are high. but, donald trump, i mean, it's nuts how much they are charging him. can he borrow it from other people and why does he have to pay this money back if he is appealing? >> steve: you have to post pretty much the full amount just in case it doesn't go your way. once again it's going to be adjudicated. it's going to appeal and then. >> ainsley: how far up will that go? if you are appealing to a court in new york. most courts in new york are not going to like. >> steve: probably the state supreme court. he might try to take to to the u.s. supreme court. i don't know if they would pick it up. >> griff: migrants could be housed. we got them coming from the southern border and the northern border in the swanton sector in
4:09 am
the tiny little towns in vermont you have got 240% increase in the number of migrants. why? because there is no visa between buying from mexico to canada. so they can literally fly anywhere in the world to mexico and then fly to canada and walk across. you are looking here at a field cam from a resident kirstie bureau who captured them coming across. every week these migrants coming and then in the sector you had 31 christie brow the resident there talked to us in the last however -- hour here is what she said. >> it's scary to know you don't know who is lurky around your world. it's definitely increasing the number ever people. >> we don't see it daily but at least every other week, you know, you see some kind of sign that someone was out there. we did have video footage on our
4:10 am
trail cam of three people coming across. our neighbors, they have actually seen people on our property as well yeah. it's you don't know anyone's intentions are we have a lot of protection here. and that's all you really got to do is stay protected and lock everything up. >> griff, when you were interviewing her what struck me is she has sons. my gosh, if you read articles about this it talks about the hunters in that area and camouflage. without if you are out see migrants are you safe? her sons, i don't know how old they are, are they safe? can you imagine strangers walking in your backyard? >> lawrence: not even just to your point when have you someone marching on private property. as you know we have been going through this in my home state of texas as well. when you look at the polls now and shows that border is the number one issue. democrats backs are against the
4:11 am
wall. remember we are going to have the impeachment trial probably coming up real soon. republicans are going to prosecute the case whether it is the fentanyl that is killing our kids. whether it is the ranchers that are having to repair their property because you have illegal migrants destroying their property. their cattle as well. you got the folks that are in texas that are having to put the put billions of dollars into the border. have all this footage shown for the american public. while the biden administration continue tolls say they have operational control. >> steve: right. the thing about the northern border. it's three times wider than the southern border. and, notice, nobody is coming over from the northern border surrendering. these are people who want to get away. hunting season. an item in the "new york post" said that during rifle hunting season. the smugglers know that is when you don't go in the woods. >> and so it just immediately turns off. there is no smuggling. i think it lasts for 10 days or
4:12 am
something like that. 16 days. then after -- on the 17th day. they are back. what is interesting is there were a number of border patrol officers who have been talking to some of the locals and they go, you know, these migrants coming over, 9 out of 10 of them are looking for a better life. but, just one has a rap sheet and you got to protect. so that is why some of them are carrying handguns. >> ainsley: i was going to say some of the locals carrying pistols. one guy chris spiely. he was interviewed. he was border patrol on speed dial on his phone now. >> griff: i will leave you with one sobering reality first month of october, 2 individuals from iran hit the terror screening data base. i reported it in dhs challenged me and they went back and found out i was correct. one came across the southern border. san diego sector. the other the northern border. >> ainsley: this says in the last three years, you had 336 known terrorists arrested between entry points at the southern border. he says this caused sleepless
4:13 am
nights. this is someone with the fbi's terrorist screening center. that's the only the southern border. and those are the ones we know about. >> lawrence: scary time for the country. all right. carley has headlines for us. >> carley: this crisis no longer just impacting the southern border. chicago police have arrested four venezuelan migrants. they are accused of choking and robbing a man on a city train on saturday. the victim reportedly lost consciousness. thankfully has since recovered. the four suspects gave police a city-run migrant shelter as their arrest. you see them right there on your screen. kansas city chiefs star travis kelce and philadelphia eagles center jason kelce speaking out about that tragic super bowl shooting that left a mother of two dead and 22 others hurt. >> our hearts go out to all of the victims, their families, chiefs kingdom. it's unfortunate and deeply tragic, the events that occurred. >> we appreciate you. kansas city and chiefs kingdom we love you guys.

4:18 am
amarnapparently one in eight red people are going to go back to work in 2024. that's because everything costs more, inflation, they didn't save enough, or maybe it's even boredom. but they have got different expenses because some are caring for their own parents and some are caring for their adult children who have moved back into the house. >> lawrence: steve, this is not shocking. if you have been following our diners for the last three month specifically. if you remember when i talk to some of these folks they have either said hey, i'm considering going back to work are some of them have said i'm actually going back to work. and some of it is because of their current circumstance. and some of it is they are trying to help their children out as well. and they just cannot make it in this economy right now. and it's not just the gas prices, it's when they go to the grocery stores. and it's the healthcare, too, that they are having to pay credit card debt, ainsley. >> ainsley: just thinking about my dad's situation. he has saved his whole life.

4:20 am
suddenly, look at this. it talks about one guy who is doing part-time school bus driving and he took his check home and he showed his wife and said look how much i made for driving a bus two and a half hours a day. >> griff: got also things like healthcare, right? you got grandparents that are taking part time jobs to help pay for their grand children parents are having to work one or two jobs to make ends meet. you know, steve, i remember my now sweet 91-year-old mother, when my father retired back in the 1980s there were pensions golden parachute pensions you were taken care of. they don't exist anymore. in an economy like this some of the most vulnerable are the retirees and that age is starting to change from 62, 65, 70 people are working a lot longer in their lives. >> ainsley: when you go out in the field in these diners they're all having to say they watch what they spend. if they do their groceries and errands they do it in the same
4:21 am
day because of gas prices. we are going to interview a 70-year-old lady. worked her whole life, put into social security. she has to go back to work. because she is worried about her finances. >> steve: it's bidenomics. listen, yesterday on the program we had -- we interviewed two brothers who are staten island. >> lawrence: twins. >> steve: that's right. they are young people. now it's hitting them how much stuff costs. watch this. here they're. nikki and jo jo scar lot tanchts listen, growing up in the neighborhood $15 hair cut $5 tip. now 40, $50 for a hair cut and not looking too good. sunday dinner in our house is like a staple. absolutely amazing. let's say the last couple years the grocery bill higher and higher sick of it. it's unreal. we have been an environment of our environment uncle tony and dad complaining about pass strepastromy; $38 for row contiy

out reichley and do you just make peace with death? do you just know eventually somehow is he going to find some way to get you? >> well, alexei navalny was exceptional person. he was absolutely brave and he was fearless. and of course he always understood that these terrible end could happen. but i think the most important thing now is happening with the body. and you just showed the strong message from his mother the whole situation with the body is getting uglier every day. the death of navalny is getting more suspicious. because why would they hided body it is becoming more and more obvious it's not just the death of navalny somewhere in prison far north of russia it is a political murder. political murder committed by vladimir putin and his
4:33 am
associates. >> lawrence: tikhon as you know they did poison alexei they found traces of it. i'm sure they are trying to hide the trace at this time. >> absolutely. >> tikhon, who does putin fear? is there anything that gets his attention? >> well, i think the most important thing is that putin is trying to show us to the world, to the russian citizens that he is not fearing anyone but this is not true. because if he would not fear anyone, then we would have free elections in we without problems during this election. or we would have free justice in russia. or we would have freedom of speech and i would talk to not from amsterdam and netherlands where our tv station is based since the beginning of russian aggression in ukraine i would talk to you from moscow. the fact is that putin is feared of truth. he is feared of people who wants to see russia a normal country. and he is feared of his political opponents and, of
4:34 am
course, he was fear of alexei navalny because navalny was a person who knew how to -- how to inspire people. that's why so many thousands and millions of russians now are mourning his death and are seeking for revenge for this terrible murder. >> lawrence: i just think it's incredibly brave that even though they just killed navalny you have got people protesting and they know they can easily die just like him. >> that's correct. >> lawrence: they are strong. thank you for joining the program. >> thank you. >> lawrence: coming up girl scout in texas robbed outside a walmart. live report as america's crime crisis worsens. first an exclusive look on how a new jersey state police are tackling fentanyl. what they are seeing. that's next. hellooo new apartment. one bank for now.
