out within this hour. white house communications director ben la bolt says they are just not going to be relying on the president to deliver their message. they're also going to be standing out aggressively and sending people -- sending senior officials to the white house -- the senior officials will be there and then people from radio and tv will be doing interviews with them. could be a good strategy but it also could be some people may make the argument that they are relying on other people to deliver the president's message for him, just that 10 seconds remaining to you, joe. >> joe: he should be on a media tour instead he will be i guess today is a vacation. this whole presidency has been a vacation. this looks horrible, this schedule but it always seems to look horrible. is he not working hard for the american people it's just that simple. >> todd: kjp is going to be saying he is prepping. he has been prepping for a while. >> steve: good morning,

everybody, precisely 6:00 a.m. here in new york city. this is monday, march 4th, 2024. and welcome to "fox & friends." we start with a fox news alert. high stakes the high court. justices good at 10:00 this morning determine donald trump's future on the ballot of colorado and elsewhere as soon as this morning. >> ainsley: plus, nikki haley marks her first primary win in d.c. just hours after saying she might not support the eventual nominee. >> you are no longer bound by that pledge. >> no. i think i will make what decision i want to make. that's not something i'm thinking about. >> lawrence: uh-oh. there is a new queen of the court caitlin clark beats the all-time scoring record. >> for college basketball history. [cheers and applause] she does it with a foul shot. >> brian: pretty cool. "fox & friends" starts right now. remember, your mornings are better because you chose to be with friends.

>> steve: as we just mentioned 1:$08 ago the u.s. supreme court at 10:00 this morning is expected to issue at least one ruling. we know that for sure. >> ainsley: and it could be on the colorado case to determine whether or not former president donald trump can be kicked offer the state's primary ballot. >> brian: madeleine rivera has more. maddy? >> madeleine: good morning, guys. the supreme court announced one or more opinions will be reissed at 10:00 a.m. as per usual practice we don't know which one. court almost issues decisions on days the judges are expected to take the bench. this time the justices will not be doing that they are not scheduled to return to the courtroom until march 15th raising speculation that a ruling on the colorado case colorado super tuesday. during arguments last month the supreme court appeared skeptic

of colorado's effort to king former president trump off its primary ballot. the question how a ruling nits favor would not lead to unimaginable situation for the country. the colorado court was the first to invoke article iii of the 14 of the amendment barring former office holders who engage in insurrection from holding office again. joined in colorado removing trump from their primary ballots but the decision has been stayed pending an appeal. back to you. >> steve: madeleine, it sound like they are going to post it on the website. so the general public can see it as soon as we can, right? >> i believe that is the idea as well. there is a question as well as to what will happen if the supreme court actually doesn't actually issue a ruling on this case and the idea is that trump's name will still appear on the ballot in colorado of course we will know whether or not their votes will count after the supreme court makes a decision. >> steve: stay tuned. all right, madeleine, thank you very much. meanwhile, in other political

news, former president donald trump's main republican opponent nikki haley is heading into super tuesday on the heels of her very first historic primary win the former governor south carolina winning in washington, d.c. yesterday. trump still maintaining a lead against nikki haley in the delegate count now at 244 to her 43. >> brian: will there be a knockout glow tuesday night. despite the lead she sin cysts staying in for the long haul now says she might not even support the republican nominee if she loses. >> so you are no longer bound by that pledge? >> no. i think i will make what decision i want to make. that's not something i'm thinking about. >> brian: different g.o.p. now. >> steve: so she dodged that question. both candidates on the republican side now look toward tomorrow's huge super tuesday with voters in 15 states, including colorado, which we were just talking about, heading to the polls. and a total of 874 delegates, about a third all republicans

out for grabs. >> brian: all right. let's go over to lawrence. lawrence, let's dive into the polling. >> lawrence: hey, good morning, family. i want onto bring y'all attention to different polling. the first three are going to tell a similar story. let's go to the fox news poll right here. you got joe biden at 47%. and donald trump at 49% amongst voters right now. and then you go over to the "wall street journal." a similar story. if the election were held today from whom would you vote for? donald trump is leading with 47% of the vote. and then you go to the "new york times" and that siena polling, a similar story but now the president, the former president is leading the current president by 4 points with 48% of the vote. but this is the stunning news. when you go over to black supporters, which is a lot of contention right now with the democratic party, donald trump gets 23% of the black vote. that's up 19% from 2020. a game changesser if the former president could do that.

but this shocked everyone. when you look at hispanic support, the democrats have been pandering to the hispanic community saying open borders, that is what is going to win the hispanic vote. but it looks like donald trump is getting 46% of the hispanic vote. alarms must be going off in the white house right now when you have all of these minority groups and when you look at the overall tally going to donald trump. >> ainsley: i wonder why that is? do you think it's a lot of cubans in south florida know what it's like to live in a communist country they came here the right way? >> brian: not enough. >> lawrence: hispanics at large are pretty conservative. texas and florida and they don't like what is happening at the border. i think it's disrespectful to them because they did it the legal way. then you have the black residents when you look at the unemployment figures, it's hitting them and they don't like what is happening at the border it's being brought to chicago, harlem, boston, all these areas where they once supported

democrats, they are taking over their community. rec centers and schools. >> brian: they are trying to do a jits on the border. twice as many voters believe president biden's policies have personally hurt them. 40% believe that trump's policies have helped them. wow, how devastating. whatever you are doing, i don't know what the numbers say, but i think you are out to hurt me. doubling my rent and also when it comes to crime. >> ainsley: yep. inflation, the border, and the crime. >> brian: energy. >> steve: yesterday, we were down in florida, went to publix, my favorite grocery store a pound of bacon the thick cut was $12. when you look at the biden bacon index it's not looking up. we started this whole talking point talking a little bit about how tomorrow is super tuesday. it will be interesting to see, as you look at joe biden there. you know, who is -- who is going to be vote vacated enough to go

out and vote tomorrow because right now it odoes look like it's going to be a trump vs. biden matchup like right there. but, we started this by mentioning the fact that nikki haley won the d.c. primary yesterday. and her campaign put out a statement i didn't realize that but yesterday nikki haley became the first woman to win a republican primary in u.s. history. and it sounds as if campaign is thinking tomorrow in super tuesday they have real good chance in virginia. the suburbs around northern virginia, around washington, d.c. are very haley friendly. >> lawrence: i will be interested to see what the number one issue, as you all know, has been the border. i don't think anybody was surprised by. this you got raúl ortiz, the former head of the border patrol says he hasn't talked to the president at all about the border. he is now retired, but this is what he had to say.

>> conversation with the president or the vice president for that matter. and so i was the chief of the border patrol. i commanded 21,000 people, that's a problem. >> ainsley: he worked under the biden administration over that many people and never heard from the president. >> lawrence: incredible. >> lawrence: or the vice >> ainsley: or the vice president who is the border czar. >> brian: why "60 minutes" did the story. this is it. they will didn't bring up this stat. supposed to get 8.1 illegal i aliens this year. when biden took over 91 executive orders many of which opened up the border and his comments as a candidate saying if you come to this country we should be able to absorb you. why not just surge the border? start at 3.3 million. look where it is right now. i'm watching the "60 minutes" piece wait a second this is remedial border control. hispanics. you want to make it between

texas and the federal government. this is the word the "60 minutes" used to use. why is texas doing what they're doing against federal government? why didn't the federal government protect them? what choice did they have? and they never even brought up the busing to major cities. meanwhile you thought you might go for the so low plexus on that. they don't bring it up. one of the comments was do you realize this could be anti-hispanic if people look like me or you mayor or tease? >> no. i can't pull somebody over because of how they look. it's what they did. >> lawrence: did they miss the whole week of coverage? >> brian: they did. how about the whole year. >> steve: wait, "60 minutes" is now watching us? >> lawrence: tone deaf because i was at the border. mostly all of the people. 90% of the people i talked to be at the border last week hispanic end they don't like what is happening. breakfast club on friday doing interviews back and forth. look we got to give greg abbott credit we didn't think it was an issue until it hit our own backyard. now everyone across the country.

>> brian: talking about charlie charlamagne that god? >> steve: 2 million of those high priority cases people should be deported or those with pending records or pending stuff number one issue on the democrat side was keeping democracy aside. now the democrats have caught up with republicans and the number one issue given the fact that we are talking about it and charlamagne is talking about it it's the border and migration. >> ainsley: what is crazy to look at those numbers more than double since biden has taken office. more than 3 million in 2020. we put those numbers up again? >> steve: in 2019. >> ainsley: can we see those numbers again? >> brian: 2020. >> ainsley: 2020. 3.3 million. >> steve: right. >> ainsley: continues to go up. look at this past year

6.2 million. and then 8.1 million. >> lawrence: that's crazy. >> ainsley: 5 million more. >> brian: democrats going to say no, put this on republicans walking away at the bipartisan bill. >> lawrence: just doesn't work. >> brian: i don't think so. "wall street journal" former president up by 2. fox news up by 2. siena poll has trump up by 4. >> and the cbs u gov has trump up by 4. >> ainsley: cbs bivice president kamala harris is meeting with israeli war cabinet member benny in washington today after the vice president took a very clear stance on israel wants war over the weekend. >> given the immense scale of suffering in gaza, there must be an immediate cease-fire. >> ainsley: israel is reportedly boycotting gaza cease-fire talks

>> this for college basketball history. [cheers] she does it with a foul shot. caitlin clark becomes the all-time leading scorer. >> ainsley: she passed lsu legend pistol pete mayor very much with that shot. and after the game she spoke about what that moment felt like it's cool to hear everybody just start screaming. i thought that gave us a lot of momentum going into halftime even that sequence. i'm glad to make the free throws. hardest thing to make free throws with nobody at the free-throw line. >> ainsley: clark finished the game with 35 points as her team took down conference hifl ohio state. those are your headlines. good for her. >> steve: no kidding. such a big game. people who traveled from across the country paying a lot of money to try to get in to see that moment of history. >> lawrence: i just can't waited to see her shoot from half court in the nba.

her opponents have to guard her from half court because she will shoot straight from the logo. >> brian: what i love she will sell out arenas. when she comes to madison square garden to play the liberty she will sell it out. number two number one to bring up with pete maravich no three-point line and only played three years. important to bring up when you talk about the records. but she just wants to win a national championship. all her interviews i just want to win a championship. i just want to win a championship. >> ainsley: i love what this is for the little girls. see all the little girls in the audience. men cheering for the women. but to see the woman do this awesome something to look forward to. something to teach her children about. i love to take my daughter to one of her games. >> lawrence: she is great for ratings for women's basketball and great for recruitment as well. we covered the game on fox. so, that just shows you the impact she has had on the sport. >> steve: she has got that for the most part when she has interviewed she has a big smile. you can tell how much she loves

dangerous parts of doing this work. any time dealing with these, you know you are going in dealing with people that are armed that, are dangerous. and usually when you confront them, there's going to be some sort of encounter. we saw that back in 2010 when brian terry was murdered by a rip crew and now we just saw it again where a gun battle erupted in this particular case. but, what's amazing about this is normally when we're dealing with rip crews, it's normally a little bit inside the united states. while people are trying to evade apprehension. these people have become so emboldened that they are doing it right in front of our cameras. they are doing it pre-trial people are on the border and we get all the footage. that's why our bortac is out there. we have had several instances where rip crews have been robbing and stealing from migrants right in front of the cameras. the bortac unit was deployed. and, unfortunately, this is -- this was the fallout from this. >> these guys are so bold they thought they could take on

bortac. not good day for them. one of them was killed on the scene. brandon the overall criminal element though. migrants criminal convictions apprehended by border patrol. it's been over 6,000 of them. can you talk to the severity of what is going on? especially now you got new polling saying that many folks are calling an emergency, 41% of americans say it's an emergency. can you talk about the criminal elements that border patrols are having to deal with now? >> yeah, what is crazy about that number. that 6,000 number that's just what we know of. those are people with criminal records here in the united states or having interpol hit. we don't know their criminal records in their own countries. we don't have access to these databases. so these individuals that could be crossing our borders illegally. they could be murderer s rapist. we know we are dealing with potential murderers and rapists that have criminal records in the united states. we don't know what it is in the

other countries. that's the really dangerous aspect of border security. that's the problem when we can't vet these people. when we're dealing with 45,000, 6,000, 7,000 apprehensions every single day. you are not going to be able to properly vet them before they are released into the united states and that's why we are seeing a crime surge here. that's why you are seeing all the robberies in new york city. that's why you are seeing and this is so unfortunate the laken riley incident. that he was why we are seeing all of the crime that is coming from our border into the united states. look, lawrence, it's really frustrating to every single one of us. we could get this control tomorrow and all it would cost us is proper policy. >> lawrence: so glad you brought up laken rile lift. the mayorkas was asked about her and this is what he said about the illegal immigrant in the country. he said they didn't know. watch. >> should man have been deported. >> one individual is responsible for the murder and that is the

murderer. and we work very closely with state and local law enforcement to ensure that individuals who pose a threat to public safety are, indeed, our highest priority for detention and removal. >> was there a breakdown in the system. >> if a city is aware of an individual who poses a threat to public safety, then we would request that they provide us with that information so that we can ensure that that individual is detained. we were not notified in this instance. >> lawrence: essentially being deceptive, brandon, because they don't work with sanctuary cities. and the white house supports sanctuary cities. >> it really makes me sick every single thing that you heard from him right there. he said if there is a threat to public safety. that's a huge definition what could be a threat to public safety. what one person considers a threat. compared to another person. it doesn't matter. every single person that gets arrested in the united states by law enforcement here.

we should be notified about it. it doesn't matter whether it's a threat to public safety. it doesn't matter how small the crime is. we should be notified and we should be able to take that individual into custody. then, of course, you got this constant statement well illegal immigrants they commit crimes at a lower percentage than united states citizens. that doesn't matter. anybody that commits a crime that's here in the united states whether they are here -- they should be deported. >> lawrence: number should be zero because they shouldn't be in the country. >> exactly. >> lawrence: thanks for joining the program. you were fired up one of the few times i have seen you so upset with this administration. brandon, thank you so much. >> thank you. >> lawrence: you got it, brother. to say a fox news alert. the supreme court ruling on trump's ballot battle could be coming as soon as this morning. jason chaffetz says voters will punish democrats for weaponizing the courts. and he's next. ♪ many ways to do things. at old dominion freight line, we do them this way.

>> steve: 25 minutes before the top of the hour on this monday. the west coast bracing for another round of snow after a weekend blizzard battered the sierra nevada mountains. nearly 50 million people from the state of texas to illinois are bracing for thunderstorms and flooding today. this is a big storm. let's check in with meteorologist adam klotz for our monday fox weather forecast. hey, adam. >> good morning, steve. we were talking off camera. there were winds across california up to 190 miles per hour. 10 feet of snow. this is a different system now moving in across portions of the west. not nearly as powerful. there are still winter weather advisories stretching across this region. if you live in the east, you are experiencing more spring like weather than winter like weather. temperatures as we week right now. 50, 60 degrees. when talking about that warmth talking about spring like storms as well from houston, austin, dallas, running all the way up toward colleague. this is on the locally end, possible. but could see isolated tornadoes

possibly some big storm cells there with damaging hail as well. but, while you are waiting for it. you are going to be experiencing near record breaking highs or record breaking highs. we are seeing that in michigan, illinois. stretching up into all across the great lakes. those are your weather headlines. for now, brian, toss it over to you. >> brian: fox news alert now. the supreme court opinion on trump's ballot case could come as soon as this morning with the high court set to issue the ruling about 10:00 a.m. that on the eve of super tuesday. here to discuss is former house oversight committee chair and fox news contributor jason chaffetz. is there any doubt in your mind they are going to say he should stay on the ballot? >> i guess any time the court makes a decision you don't know quite what is going to happen. it is the an absolute antithesis of being pro-democracy to suggest that the way you promote item crease making sure your opponent is not on the ballot. that's absurdity i don't think any court can actually come to a

conclusion and say yeah, that's good for america. let the voters decide. i think that's the fundamentally these politicians, they work for the voters. and if the voters can't vote for who they want to, then there is something fundamentally wrong. >> brian: right. look, he hasn't been convicted. he hasn't been charged with this. if this happens and they say yeah you can kick anybody off your ballot. that's going to happen in oklahoma against the democrat. it's going to happen in red states. they are going to decide, do you know what? that guy is a little radical to me and that woman out to lunch. they will be off the ballot. it will be the worst precedent possible. see what happens told. probably give the former president more power gets a court case win. it's almost like winning a primary in my view. the other big story is what happened last week and that is s the supreme court decided to take the immunity case. should a president be immune are from a criminal case for what he did when he was in office. january 6th he was in office. here's what jamie raskin said.

>> this was an obvious case not to take up and to let the d.c. circuit ruling stand. we don't have a king here. we had a revolution against a king and the constitution is written so that president's main job is to take care that the laws are faithfully executed not faithfully violated in his own interest. >> brian: the president's case was, former president come out and said look, let's say i'm in office and i do something that people think result in something negative for them. they can go sue the president. no president is going to make a decision are they going to face a plethora of lawsuits for things they did in office. do you think that's a solid case? >> well, i think it's pretty rich hearing from jamie raskin about implementing the rule of law especially when we see what is going on down there on the border. they don't seem to want to do this. look, democrats are hyper ventilating over this because the court has said, you know, they are not even going to hear the oral arguments until april 22nd. that is in direct contra dixz to the game plan, the book they had to say hey, let's go after

donald trump, make sure he never gets on the ballot. let's take him down before they even start voting. so to suggest that they're not even going to issue this ruling for months, they are hyper ventilating. they don't know what to do about it. >> brian: which is interesting, too. big story in the "wall street journal" says how the president's court cases fueled a lot of people that want to go for desantis and other republicans to go to him because they feel like he is being unjustly prosecuted. then you look at the georgia case. and the georgia case is basically a circus of incompetence and unethical behavior. that was the one that was supposed to get him even if he won. what do you think we're going to hear about that as early as today, too, right? >> look. i think the voters overall are going to take this out on the democrats. >> there is no clear case in any of these against donald trump. the jury pool is the american people. if you haven't been able to are articulate why donald trump should be in jail, not on the

prosthetic, then you are going to lose your case, they have had these ridiculous assertions against president trump, none of this should have been happening. it's all a political witch-hunt. they want to take him off the ballot because they are so threatened by him and, again, i think that the american people takes this out on democrats. gone to detonates never gone to. >> fan fascinating january 6th case done by election day. now is he going for the documents case. i would like the date to be in july. and the trump team trump team says what about august 1 process whole staff high security clearance to read these secret documents that would allow them to come up with a defense against what jack smith has seems to be hard to fathom. can you imagine, jason, get this thing lined up and queued up by

september or october and the former president has to be sit in the courtroom 10 hour as day in the final lessing of the campaign i can see that hang. >> each time the democrats have tried this thus far, donald trump's poll numbers have gone up. the american people know a president and former president can actually determine the classification of those papers. and so, when you don't prosecute joe biden for doing far worse as a senator and those types of things, they understand there's a duel system of justice and they take that out at the polls. it does not work to the favor of the democrats. >> brian: just read the robert hur report for those people independent or undecide. read the robert hur report. at one point he has classified documents in his hands with the ghost writer and says i found classified documents. you know what? no one knows i have these. he actually says it in the documents and they go too incompetent to actually prosecute. thanks. jason chaffetz, it's a fascinating time.

♪ >> lawrence: welcome back. so we have another squatting situation out of georgia. one homeowner says squatters took over his rental property near atlanta while he was caring for his sick wife. the homeowner telling local outlets, quote: these people came in friday, broke into my house and had a u-haul move all their stuff. in it's frustrating. it's very frustrating. i can't even sleep. i guess they have done this before because when i called the police they said since they have a fake lease, they can't do anything. it's a civil matter. last month i spoke to another atlanta area homeowner about her squatting nightmare. watch. >> i was scared but also angry. >> when you wanted them to leave, what did they say? >> they refused.

they act like i was doing something wrong there was prostitution. there was drug felons. i would say i'm close to 60,000 in damages. about 30 -- a little over 30,000. sorry, there is no light because they cut all the wires. they cut like a 2.3 hole and they got in that way. >> lawrence: that's unbelievable. about 1200 homes in the metro area have been taken over by squatters. according to the national rental home council. a serious problem. over to you, ainsley. >> ainsley: that's crazy. i know you have been all over this story. thank you so much, lawrence. a shocking new study finding 12% of the world's population is considered to be obese. the world health organization reports the number of adults has more than doubled since 1990 to 890 million. while the number of obese adolescents has squad driewmed to 160 million. so how can we turn this around? good so he to see you dr. siegel. >> this is a disaster.

almost a billion people worldwide. in some areas it's due to an inability to get healthy foods. i got to admit some of this is socioeconomic. you know, some people, if they can't afford, to are eating carbohydrates and cheaper fast foods. people who can, they are not eating enough vegetables. not drinking enough water. the most important thing is, they are not exercising enough. did you snow that the cdc found that over a quarter of people in the united states don't do any alicia activity. healthy people found more like a third. if you exercise in the morning, frank, your hunger goes down for most of my parents. for most people. then you drink water and then you eat smaller portions. again, water, smaller portions, more vegetables and exercise will all decrease weight without using those famous substances everybody is using now is owe ozempic, wegovy, they can be avoided if you can do a lifestyle change.

>> ainsley: so much chemicals in our food. chicken not organic the color is totally different. >> completely agree. that may be the biggest problem of all. processed food. chemicals lead to weight gain. did you ever have this experience. go to italy, here you can't have any pasta. >> you don't gain any weight. >> you can have a glass of wine and pasta don't gain any weight. here do you it's the it chemical calls. farm to table. more organic. mediterranean diet is the way to go. no deserts, ainsley. >> ainsley: patients are complaining that their hangovers are worse after covid. >> i'm finding that, too. i'm finding that with my patients. now, the study we are talking about here is only in four patients, okay? so it's just the tip of the iceberg. >> ainsley: not a big study. >> about as small as it gets. i have always found this viruses. viruses cause inflammation in the body. if you don't get over the symptoms all together they can

interfere with the blood brain barrier. chemicals get into the brain. what is hangover? it's a headache. it's fatigue. it's feeling lethargic. what does covid do if it stick with us, headache, lethargic, fatigue. same thing. so, if it interferes with your immune system and causes these chemicals to build up. you are going to get a rebound effect double with covid. so you are walking around with the after-effects of code and then you drink too much. you and were talking, people are drinking too much anyway. alcohol sensitivity may be a little bit protective. we all drink too much. but this is definitely leemented to piece viral. >> ainsley: people drinking more during covid and they continued it? >> also true. also really true. everybody was locked down and drinking. >> ainsley: this is a quote from one of the patients they studied. prior to her initial covid infection, she had no issues with alcohol tolerance and easily tolerate about is seven mixed drinks containing hard liquor in one night.

after covid infection, however, she reported feeling like she suffers from alcohol poisoning after drinking even small amounts of alcohol and feels terrible for several days after consumption seven drinks that's a lot. >> seven drinks? we're not recommending that. >> ainsley: exactly. >> medical monday not recommends seven drinks a day. one good thing for her, this may get better over time. i'm expecting to you get better over time. for most people the post covid problems go away over time. we don't know in her case. again, never recommending seven drinks a day. we found out recently no amount of alcohol is good for you. no amount is good for you, if you have a glass of wine with dinner that's probably okay. again, depending on how are. we are not getting health benefits from alcohol. >> ainsley: dr. siegel, thank you so much. >> good to see you. >> ainsley: good to see you, too. >> ainsley: hand it over to brian. >> >> brian: he was not referring to you drinking during covid. >> ainsley: i cannot have seven mixed drinks that's for sure. >> brian: only good alcohol rubbing.
