voters cast their ballots on the biggest day of the presidential primary campaign so far. welcome to a brand new hour of "america's newsroom." i'm dana perino. good morning to you. >> bill: how are you feeling? >> dana: it's eight months and a day until election. >> bill: you're correct. i'm bill hemmer. good morning to you at home. today's voting is expected to move former president trump closer to a rematch against president joe biden. as millions of americans go to the polls, there are 854 republican delegates up for grabs and this is a delegate game in the end in the race for the republican nomination. >> dana: immigration, border security and the economy are among the top issues voters are worried about. frontrunner donald trump and republican rival nikki haley making final pitches to voters earlier on fox. >> we're going to get rid of biden, the worst president ever. and we're going to close up our borders and we're going to drill, baby, drill, and we're going to have a great economy. i'm doing tax cuts. i have to win this election because our country can't take

too much more of this. >> when you're in the middle of a fight, you don't think about what you're going to do if you lose. you think about how you're going to fix things when you win. that's what i'm doing. as much as everybody wants to go and push me out, i'm not ready to get out yet. i'm still sitting there fighting for the people that want a voice and they deserve that. >> bill: here we go. team fox coverage. grady at a polling place in virginia. larry kudlow on why a lot of folks are voting with their wallet. but first -->> dana: we'll talk to national correspondent grif jenkins in eagle pass, texas, as voters cast their ballots after dualing border visits between trump and biden. did anybody change their minds of who they would vote for after those visits? >> we shall soon find out. texas is the second biggest prize today. 244 democrat ones up for grabs. has to get a 20% threshold or better and you want to know what's on their minds as voters? take a look. i'll show you, dana, a live

group right now of about eight to 10 migrants outside this razor wire. it comes all day every day. now, take a look at some video we shot yesterday. you can see this group of migrants which texas governor greg abbott put the wire up. despite that, this group got through and it's part of everything happening with the backdrop of the election today, the battle between texas and the federal government, supreme court blocking texas' new law that would make illegal crossings a crime and allow texas law enforcement to arrest migrants and, dana, to require texas judges to return crossers to mexico, if convicted. that's on hold until at least next week when both sides can present their arguments. and it comes on the heels of that duelling presidential visit between trump and biden to the border. texas congressman gonzalez who represents this area and has a crowded field competing against him in today's primary says this border crisis is by far the dominant issue. listen. >> keep hearing from residents that live throughout the district but particular border

communities is we are exhausted. people have had enough. we just want our lives back. and it's very clear that joe biden started this crisis. >> and another race we're watching, democrat primary to see who will challenge senator ted cruz in november. the frontrunner has a packed field and he'll have to do very well to avoid a runoff. dana? >> dana: we'll be watching that tonight when bill is at the billboard for us. >> bill: from ashton, virginia, grady is live talking to voters about what is driving their decision today. what are you hearing, grady? good morning. >> good morning to you. of the voters that we've spoken to this morning, just about every single one says the economy is a key issue if it's not at the very top of their list. it's pretty close. you know, the biden administration has been touting the president's economic record but poll after poll shows and we're hearing the same thing from voters this morning that

americans feel worse off financially now compared to when president biden took office. >> everybody in the country whether you're at the grocery store or buying other goods. my wife says it all the time, strawberries went up again. it's getting to be a little bit out of hand. >> stock market is healthy. jobs are on the rise. cost of living prices are up. there's a lot that's not right with the system. >> me being a realtor and the interest rates are discouraging people from buying and people are locked in with a golden handcuff with the low interest rates that they can't afford to move now because you're going to pay more for less. >> on the campaign trail, including on recent stops here in virginia in just the past week, both former president trump and former south carolina governor nikki haley are promising to get the economy back on track. for her part, haley blames rampant spending by both democrats and republicans in d.c. saying it's time to put an

accountant in the white house. trump, on the other hand, is bringing up his administration's tax and regulation cuts which you also heard on "fox & friends" this morning and he's talking about the lower grocery prices. gas prices and interest rates when he was in office before covid, of course. trump says he'll get rid of bidenomics and bring back what he calls maganomics and for the former president, it's pretty simple. he can simply point to his record and that's a message that's resonating with voters who say they felt better financially when he was in office compared to right now. >> bill: ok, loudoun county, how's turnout? >> it's been a slow but steady trickle so far this morning, as you can see behind me, this is what it's looked like for most of the day today. >> bill: thanks. talk to you throughout the day. >> dana: joining us now is fox business host larry kudlow. cookie monster decided to get a little political last night and put out this tweet. me hate shrinkflation. me cookies are getting smaller.

guess me going to have to eat double the cookies. i don't know who runs the cookie monster account. but if it's a government official, that's not very bipartisan. but also, i would add this. this is what the biden administration is going to try to focus on. they're starting this thing called the strike force on unfair and illegal prices ahead of the state of the union to try to deal with something that voters have been telling them for three years is a problem. and that is the cost of groceries. your thoughts? >> you're right. thanks for having me on the show. i appreciate it, both of you. you know, as a pretty bad defense, because the fundamental problem is, of course, inflation. and although the rate of inflation has calmed down in the past year or so, nonetheless, it's still up 18% from when he took office. and you've heard these numbers before. but i'll just get them out. food is up 34%. shelter up 19%. energy up 33%. you know, mr. trump was talking

in the clips about drill, baby, drill. the average oil price under trump for his whole four-year period was just over $50. a barrel. under biden, it's $80 a barrel. i'm just compiling some of these numbers. and people have received a pay cut. i think probably the worst part is that, you know, after inflation people have received a pay cut in the three years of president biden. it's about 5%. 4.7%. under trump, they received a pay increase of nearly 7% and it cost a lot more to buy the same basket of groceries. it costs about $1,100 more. so if president biden goes out of the state of the union, as you suggest, dana, and starts blaming companies and businesses, it's just not going to wash. i mean, maybe some people on the left side of the spectrum will buy it. but basically, that's not the

problem. the problem is these companies are trying to survive and i might add they're doing a pretty good job surviving by keeping costs low and keeping productivity as high as possible without losing their workforce. but, you know, you can't just blame the businesses and what happens is it comes out, trump, i mean, biden is against business. i mean, he wants to raise taxes on business. well, trump cut taxes on business. businesses flourished. it's healthy businesses that create jobs and it's healthy businesses that can afford to pay the workforce the average middle income working stiff, whether you're white, black, hispanic, whatever, that's how you make an economy run. i think mr. biden never understood that. >> bill: is he sitting on a good economy right now, larry? i ask that because at the end of last week, there seemed to be a growing consensus that the federal reserve will not cut rates this year. and the reason why they would not do that is because the

economy is moving at a pretty good clip. do you agree with that? and if so, is the president in a good position economic wise now? >> well, the answer is yes. the last few quarters, i mean, i'm going to be very honest and empirical, these are just facts. the last few quarters have been pretty darn good. ok? i'll just say that. i don't think it has anything to do with mr. biden's policies. we're seeing a big surge in profits and we're seeing a big surge in the technology gains from productivity. and also, unfortunately, government spending and transfer fare, welfare payments have stepped up a lot. that's not sustainable. that's the last few quarters, bill. and i think that will keep the fed from cutting their interest rate. we've also seen now some modest increases of the inflation rate

again, have to keep an eye on that to see whether that continues or not. i don't expect the fed to move. the problem is, you know, if you go back into the first half of 2022, you had a recession. two negative quarters, and the economy has been a kind of mensa mensa economy. for the period, it doesn't really measure up. when you look at all the polling evidence, people look back fondly over the trump economy and they do not look back fondly over the biden economy because they've been losing money. you know, my favorite -- i came across a stat, this is "the new york times" siena poll. there's a million polls and million statistics out there. here's one for the ages. women are 20 percentage points more likely to say that mr. trump's policies have helped them more than mr. biden. that's from "the new york times." that's women. he's supposed to have a big gender gap.

turns out trump doesn't are a big gender gap. so women are 20 points more likely to say that trump helped them. and i think it goes back to groceries and mortgage rates and shelter and gasoline prices and what the husband is taking home and what the wife is taking home. you know, trump's coalition is, after all, it's a working class coalition. it's whites, it's hispanics, latinos, it's more african-americans than ever before. it's women. he's even done well with the young people. these are reaganesque type numbers. i remember years ago, reagan was across the board popularity in both 1980 but especially 1984. so look, polls are not votes. i get that. the statistics, i think, frankly favor trump quite substantially especially on falling real wages. there's an affordability crisis. i call it an affordability

crisis. but we'll see. i'm not worried about super tuesday. we'll see. the general election starts, i guess, thursday night with the state of the union. >> bill: i think it started last week at the border. >> dana: maybe, yeah. >> bill: thanks. see you at 4:00 on fox business. great to have you. thank you. >> thank you very much. >> dana: don't miss our special super tuesday primary coverage. it begins tonight at 7:00 p.m. eastern. we will bring you live updates, commentary and results throughout the night. we look forward to having you join us. >> bill: there we go! >> dana: and it was unanimous. the supreme court ruling that states cannot just kick donald trump after their ballots. what it means for america's democracy. >> bill: also, sexual violence as a weapon of terrorism. a u.n. report finding the atrocities carried out by hamas on the 7th of october showed no bounds in their barberism. we'll bring that report to you. >> dana: we're on the super tuesday beat all morning long. a sacred right in our system of government. voters casting their ballots with the stakes sky-high.

>> bill: so new york democratic congresswoman cortez lashing out at protesters outside of a movie theater as they were demanding she call israel's military campaign in gaza a genocide. nate has more in our newsroom about this. what was this back and forth? what happened there? >> well, bill, congresswoman alexandria cortez is just the latest democrat to be confronted by pro palestinian protesters. they followed her outside of that brooklyn movie theater demanding that she accuse israel of genocide. something that she says she's already done. take a look at what happened.

>> it's not ok if you're not actively against it. >> you have any comments? >> you're going to cut this and clip this so that it's completely out of context. i already said that it was. and you're just going to pretend that it wasn't over and over again. you're not helping these people. and you're not helping them! >> she was seemingly aggravated by the protesters. remember this, bill, in 2020 during the defun the police protest. she tweeted "popular support often starts small and grows. to folks who complain protests demands make others uncomfortable, that's the point." democrats including democrat joe biden are facing near constant pressure from protesters for the hamas israel war. take a look at this from president biden's visit to new york city last week. >> president biden! >> biden, biden, you will see! >> palestine will be free. >> palestine will be free! >> pro palestinian protesters

also filled the streets of los angeles over the weekend ahead of the california primary today. the war certainly a big, big issue on the minds of voters. over the weekend in arizona, protesters interrupted first lady jill biden several times during a speech. vice president kamala harris dealt with protesters during her visit to north carolina on friday. bill? >> bill: all right, nate, thank you, sir. here in new york city, nice to see you. all right. >> dana: you know this. israel made several allegations against hamas months ago but only now, today, several months later is the united nations saying that it's true. a u.n. report finally says there is reasonable grounds to believe the iranian-backed group carried out sexual attacks on october 7th. it adds those assaults are also likely still being committed against the hostages held in captivity. bill, how do we know that? we heard from the hostages themselves. >> bill: we did. >> dana: so bill has a piece in "the wall street journal" today in his column in which he asks this question -- hamas' american

hostages. remember, we don't talk about them as much. he goes on to say when brittney griner, a women's national basketball association star was checked into a russian prison in 2022, americans avidly followed her case and celebrated her release. likewise, there's tremendous public interest in the case of wall street journal reporter, an innocent journalist who remains a prisoner of vladimir putin. the state of the union is mr. biden's opportunity to introduce the gaza six to their fellow americans. >> bill: great point. >> dana: see if he does it. >> bill: profound point, too. if he does it, it will be quite the moment. >> dana: keep them top of mind. >> bill: u.s. supreme court, as you know, giving donald trump a sweeping victory ruling that states cannot kick him off their primary ballot. that vote was unanimous sending democrats and the mainstream media into a tizzy such as thus. >> i think this court has had obviously some pretty big issues. with that said, we've lived in a country of rule of law, we have

to respect the court's decisions while disagreeing with them. and honestly, i think that's something that maga republicans could take a lesson from. it's ok to disagree with decisions and one another and not turn into violent rhetoric and attempts to steal elections. >> bill: that is the colorado secretary of state. and this is jonathan turley, sir, good morning to you. i made the point last night, she's elected, is she not, in colorado? do you know that? the supreme court is not. they're appointed. she's elected by the people there. you're writing this today. here we go. democrats rush to keep trump off the ballot after scotus decision because election can't be left to voters. i don't know what time you wrote that yesterday. but jamie raskin, a democrat in the house, shortly thereafter said this. about to continue the pursuit. >> i'm working with a number of my colleagues including debbie

wasserman schultz to revive legislation that we had to set up a process by which we could determine that someone who committed insurrection is disqualified by section 3 of the 14th amendment. >> bill: i don't know what time you wrote your piece, to be honest with you, but the time stamp on that comment is 12:06 eastern time which is almost two hours exactly after the u.s. supreme court ruled. so they're not done yet, professor. >> no, and bill, what's fascinating about that is the supreme court said in its opinion that there's no reason why the public should have to endure the chaos that this has brought in the election and representative raskin immediately responded oh, yes, they do and we will bring their chaos to congress. we will seek to disqualify president trump and others. keep in mind that the democrats have sought not just the disqualification of donald trump. some of those members are seeking the disqualification of

dozens of their colleagues because they supported the campaign against certification. so this is a sweeping attack on the choice of voters. it is an effort to cleanse ballots before an election. and to these members, nothing says democracy like stopping democratic choice. and so the question for the public is going to be when will the public, like the courts say, enough? you know, that you need to go and you need to win the election. convince us. don't take the choice away from us. >> bill: yeah, ok, on another matter, the willis case has not been settled. i don't know when you think the judge will issue his decision. maybe it's a week from now, maybe longer, we'll see. maybe it becomes any day. but the attorneys are going after terrance bradley who was on the stand last week. and they believe he lied. and they believe his deputy d.a. by the name of cindy lee yeager can prove it and they're trying to get the judge to allow her to

testify. if i've got all that right. but she's from cobb county and willis and everybody else is from fulton county to the south of that. let me take you back to bradley on the stand about the speculation that he says about when this affair all began. >> no, i have no direct knowledge of when the relationship started. it was -- i was speculating. i didn't have a -- no one told me i was speculating. >> no one told you that? >> no one told me that. >> bill: it's his word against everybody else's. the idea is that the relationship began in november of 2021 and these other folks are coming out and saying, no, it was well on by then. professor. >> well, it was painful to watch. it had that look of a hostage tape where he was just saying i know nothing. i heard nothing. if i said anything, i didn't mean it. the problem is that this is getting worse by the day so this

new filing has another attorney, an officer of the court, saying look, i heard that testimony. and i was shocked because i did hear with absolute clarity the opposite of what was being stated to the court. and so you have this situation for the judge where you have e-mails, where there isn't any ambiguity. he's very clear that this relationship began before wade was hired. and now, you have this other attorney saying yeah, that was the same clarity that i heard. so how does the court deal with that? what is very clear is that the continuation of wade and willis is undermining their case and undermining their office and they have put their interests before that of the public. i am quite astonished that they have not stepped aside. they have an independent professional obligation towards their office. obviously, to the people of the county. i don't believe that they're shouldering that responsibility regardless of what the court is

doing or will do. >> bill: wow. we'll see whether or not cindy lee yeager is to be heard from in that court sometime soon. thank you, sir. do you think it will happen or no? will the judge allow it? >> i'm not so sure i would bet against it. i think this judge is ready to make a decision and this drip, drip, drip is going to have to stop. but it's in the record and he may have to take note of it. >> bill: got it. thank you, sir, very much. seems like we talk every day. see you tomorrow. thank you. >> the answer is i want everybody to come together. we're going to have a unified party because our real opponent happens to be named biden. >> dana: former president trump calling for unity as millions of americans head to the polls today with the most delegates on the line in the biggest election night of the campaign outside of election night itself. one race getting national attention is the special

>> bill: good looking lighthouse. you see that, dana? good looking. guys, here is the delegate tracker as we stand right now. just want to show you going into the evening where we are. donald trump 273 after the win last night in north dakota. nikki haley at 43, well behind donald trump's lead and you've got, what, 328 delegates allocated so far. but that's where you need to get. that's the magic number. 1,215. just did all the numbers, ok, show you this next graphic here. just did all the numbers. even if donald trump were to take all 854 delegates tonight, he still would not have enough to reach 1,215. so we cannot seal the deal tonight.

couple of things to look for especially on the east coast early in the night when you're watching our coverage tonight, virginia at 48 delegates. north carolina 74. we'll see some nuances within that vote, too, that might tell us an interesting story. and we move further out west, some of the bigger states. texas at 150 and the real big one, california at 169. that closes at 11:00 eastern time, 8:00 there in california. i'll clear this off and show you one more item here because as we look at the calendar, this is something that could be interesting a week from today. 161 delegates on the line, including down there in georgia and then if the nomination is still not locked up, two weeks from today, you got march 19th at 350 delegates including 43 in arizona and 79 in ohio. so that's the lay of the land on the path to the nomination, dana. >> dana: 79 in ohio is a lot. >> bill: yes. >> dana: that's your home state. check it out. one of tonight's most compelling races will be in california. two house democrats, you know them, adam schiff and katie

porter have been battling in the golden state for the special election to replace late senator dianne feinstein. but a late surge by republican challenger steve garvey has sent them scrambling. >> do you think a republican can win in the senate in california? >> i didn't get into this race not to win. listen, vibrant california needs somebody who they know and they can trust. i said i would be a one term senator. and in that one term, i think i can get a lot done. >> dana: let's bring in founder of golden together, steve hilton. so steve garvey is known very well throughout california. maybe even throughout the country here, baseball fan. he played for the dodgers. are the democrats surprised by his come-from-behind win or lead, i should say? not win. >> yes, they're massively surprised because they're incredibly arrogant. they assume, dana, that california is just a total democratic one party state. republicans have got no shot. that was their attitude when steve garvey got in the race.

and the assumption among the california political press and all the democrats as well, it's obviously going to be adam schiff and katie porter. but what it tells you is that this state, my beautiful home state of california, is much more republican than people think. now, steve garvey has been helped by the fact that we have this top two system which means that the top two finishers, regardless of party, go through. and because of their arrogance, because they assume that a republican cannot win, actually adam schiff has been spending enormous amounts of money to try to get steve garvey into the general election because he assumes that he's going to have a walkover. >> dana: so golden together, you've been traveling the state and you've been talking to a lot of people trying to find some common ground, trying to get the republican party at least to say, look, we have a chance here. is garvey's run a part of that? >> oh, very much. i've been on the road, as you say, and i've been at many events with steve garvey. and the really interesting thing

is you see the energy from groups up and down the state here in california. there's two things going on. one, people are sick and tired of what's been happening on every single issue. obviously, the big ones that we see and very vividly so on our screens all the time crime and homelessness. people are sick of that. when you look at every single issue, california is performing so poorly. we have the highest taxes but also the highest property. we spend the most per student in our public schools and have the worst literacy in america. on and on through every issue people want a change. what they're looking for is something positive, an alternative. when you hear steve garvey speak, he is such a positive individual. he talks about the california dream, what it means to him and his family. i feel exactly the same way. people are looking for hope here in california. >> dana: those polls will close at 11:00 p.m. tonight. we'll be paying close attention through all that and pay attention to you. there's one other thing happening in california on the ballot. that's a measure to deal with

homelessness. here's a san francisco district attorney on what she thinks should happen. >> putting people in jail does not help treat mental illness. you end up simply releasing them back to the street in the same condition only for them to cycle back into the system. it is also not humane to leave those who have not yet entered the criminal justice system on the street to suffer in their illness there. >> if anyone else thinks that the status quo is ok, they're not looking at the same reality that the vast majority of californians are looking at. >> dana: what are californians deciding on that ballot measure today, steve? >> well, first of all, we should say that for years, many of us have been saying that the homelessness crisis in california, we have the third of all the homeless people in the country is really at its heart an untreated mental health and drug addiction crisis. and all along, democrats were saying, no, no, it's all about housing. of course it's connected to housing. but the mental health and drug addiction part is a massive feature. now, this ballot initiative is

in a way democrats catching up and saying yes, we do need to do more on mental health. it's another $6 billion. it will buy some mental health beds and buy some sheltered housing for homeless people including homeless veterans. that's the positive aspect of it. but here's what it doesn't do. there was a state law passed nearly one decade ago, it's called housing first. what it means is that you cannot require people who benefit from homeless services to actually get treatment for their drug addiction. or alcohol addiction. >> dana: ok. >> and because that is such a big feature, unless you overturn housing first, you're never going to really get to grips with the problem. >> dana: they've got you out there trying to work on it through golden together. steve hilton, i'm sure we'll be talking to you throughout the day. thank you, and we'll talk to you soon. >> thank you, dana. >> bill: $6 billion. taylor swift named her new album "the tortured poets department" now we may know why.

>> dana: crime is front and center on voters' minds as they head to the polls today. alexis mcadams is live from new york city with this. hi, alexis. >> when you talk to voters out on the campaign trail, they are thinking about the safety of their own community and crime is a hot topic this super tuesday. watch. >> four years ago, i told you that if crooked joe biden got to the white house, our borders would be abolished. our middle class would be decimated and our communities would be plagued by bloodshed, chaos and violent crime. we were right about everything. >> last year, the united states had one of the lowest rates of all violent crime of all violent crimes in over 50 years. >> like these on your screen that are on voters' minds in the 16 super tuesday states although the f.b.i. says crime in almost every single category went down across the nation in 2023, dana, those statistics don't mean much to people who have been victims.

and fox news polls show more than half of americans are discontent with the biden administration's action to keep people safe. >> has the resources, i don't think he's capable to do the job. and i think he needs to rely more on his governors. and you know, on the people in the actual states to be able to enforce that crime. >> migrant crimes sitting in the national spotlight this election. migrants accused of recent crimes making major headlines. some entering the country illegally and some previously released by ice including the tragic case of lincoln riley, this 22-year-old nursing student who was murdered. jose barra who crossed illegally in the united states from venezuela charged with her murder. voters seeing the surge of migrants in big cities across america. >> i think the way that we help solve and alleviate the crime issue in america and in big cities as well is we close the border. and that's with the bipartisan effort.

>> with the major news led lines about migrant crime, the white house has called for sanctuary cities across the united states to cooperate with ice. dana? >> dana: lots of change. thank you. >> bill: co-host of "the five" jeanine pirro with us. you have a special that we'll get to in a moment. let's share with voters the you lieutenant with us a lot on "america's newsroom" and tweeted out these pictures of immigrants with these backpacks, bundles of drugs, they say between ports of entry and talked about the gotaways, too, traveling across ranches on our side of the border. and a lot of this flow has moved towards arizona and especially california, judge. >> jeanine: it's moved towards those states because texas is doing whatever it can to make sure and interestingly enough, the supreme court yesterday put on hold the fifth circuit's decision regarding the law in texas which gave law enforcement in texas the ability to not only arrest someone who is illegally crossing but to send them back

to mexico or put them in jail. fifth circuit said that's fine. we agree with the law. and the supreme court put it on hold until the 13th next week or maybe it's the week after. but what you've got now is the state of texas doing everything it can whether it's barbed wire and again, the supreme court said look, border patrol can cut the barbed wire. but it didn't say to texas you can't keep putting it up. what you've also got the scenarios with the water buoys and all the other stuff. as a result now, 70% of immigration is now coming through the blue states, california, arizona and new mexico. but along with that is crime because we're not vetting these people. we don't know who they are. why are they being allowed to come into this country? who are they? and what are they doing here? unfortunately, we're seeing a lot of migrant crime which amazingly is not being categorized separately. there is no way to count the amount of migrant crime. we now don't know there's a backlog of two million people in this country who are illegals

who are looking to be deported by the government. but a lot of these cases are on appeal so they're not being deported. you've got three million who say they're seeking asylum and those people are anywhere and everywhere in the interior of the united states. we don't have a handle on this. and the truth is immigration law is not being enforced and the criminal law is not being enforced in sanctuary cities where we see scenarios like lincoln riley being killed by an immigrant or just today, arizona saying in the attempted murder of those two women in arizona where new york city wants to prosecute this same immigrant for murder, arizona is saying we're keeping them here because new york city, we can't count on you to protect your own citizens. >> dana: it's fascinating. other thing i was excited to learn last night and we have a chance to talk to you a bit more about it here is you are the voice of a new fox nation show called "cocaine godmother." i didn't know about this woman. let's watch a clip real quick. >> south floridians wondered

where the cocaine cowboys will strike next. >> jeanine: you've heard of pablo escobar and el chappo for decades there was another drug lord quietly slipping in and out of the united states and leaving a bloody trail of death in her wake. to the law enforcement agents pursuing her, she was a ghost. >> dana: she sounds like quite a ghost. >> jeanine: she's amazing. she single handedly, she came from colombia and originally was a madam and started bringing women up from colombia and putting cocaine in their undergarments. she had a little factory creating undergarments they could put cocaine in. she single handedly improved the economy in miami. an interesting connection to today is that she used those from cuba to be her soldiers. so they were illegals and came in. we knew nothing about them. they were beheading. they were killing on her behalf. she was a ghost to law

enforcement. she literally disappeared. so it took a long time for them to find her. she was one powerhouse. a sociopath that would kill at the drop of a hat for any reason and to anyone. >> bill: wow! >> jeanine: amazing, amazing woman. >> dana: thanks for bringing that to us. i want to learn more about it. >> bill: thanks for being here. >> dana: i'll see you on "the five." >> jeanine: i'll be there. >> dana: take you to this. you're looking live at a polling center in boston as super tuesday kicks off across america. people trickling in making their vote count. zyrtec allergy relief works fast and lasts a full 24 hours so dave can be the... deliverer of dance. ok, dave! let's be more than our allergies. zeize the day with zyrtec.
