in all likelihood, donald trump will be the republican nominee when our party convention meets in july. i congratulate him and wish him well. i have always been a conservative republican and always supported the republican nominee. but on this question, as she did on so many others, margaret thatcher provided some good advice when she said, "never just follow the crowd." >> harris: a big night for former president trump and president biden. both are now about 80% of the way toward winning each of their party's nomination. polls have shown voters are not excited for a 2020 part two. a recent poll shows 57% of voters don't want to see biden-run again. but a rematch is likely what whe are going to get. trump during his speech last night laser focused on the general election.
8:04 am
>> president trump: he is the worst president in the history of our country. all of the problems that you have today, i don't think you would have had any of them. you would only have the success. we have no choice because november 5th is right around the corner. november 5th is going to is going to go down as the single most important day in the history of our country. >> harris: and this happened just a few moments ago. are going senate minority leader mitch mcconnell just gave his endorsement to former president donald trump. someone who knows the former president very well, kellyanne conway is standing by. she is on the mess with me today. and we begin with fox correspondent bryan llenas. and in west palm beach, florida. so gorgeous. bryan? >> hey, yes, it is gorgeous out here. former president trump now the presumptive republican nominee, reacting to nikki haley's decision to drop out and to her decision to not endorse him at least not yet and her call for
8:05 am
trump to bring more people into the party. trump posting this on truth social writing in part, nikki haley got trounced last night in record setting fashion and i would further like to invite all of the haley supporters to join the greatest movement in the history of our nation. biden is the enemy, he is destroying our country. make america great again. >> harris: , 14 out of 15 states on super tuesday. he now has 995 delegates. the former president could reach that 1250 delegates needed to officially secure the republican nomination as early as march 19th. last night, trump call for un unity. >> president trump: we have a great republican party with tremendous talent and we want to have unity and we're going to have unity and it is going to happen very quickly. and i have been saying lately, success will bring unity to our country. >> reporter: in an act of unity this morning, mitch mcconnell
8:06 am
endorsed trump writing, "it is abundantly clear that former president trump has earned the support of republican voters to be our nominee for president of the united states. it should come as no surprise that as nominee, he will have my support." this is now is general election race. fox news power rankings have trouble ahead of biden in a recent post rematch with delegates against biden's 241 delegates. the dnc have $80 million of cash on hand. that is double the money to trump campaign and the rnc have. the new york times is reporting trump met with billionaire elon musk and other wealthy republican donors here in palm beach on saturday to try to raise more money. musk posted this morning that he will not be donating to either candidate in the presidential race and harris, former president trump and president biden will be holding dueling rallies in georgia this saturday
8:07 am
ahead of the primary there. harris? >> harris: all right, good to see you, ride. kellyanne conway, former counselor to president presidential and fox news contributor. so you always come with a healthy dose of "don't get ahead of yourself." what are you watching for? >> kellyanne: i'm watching for the rematch that despite the fact that americans don't want, they actually do one for 24 straight years, this country had a bush or a clinton on the presidential national ticket from 1980 to 2004 and again in 2016, with hillary clinton. we go to mcdonald's and chick-fil-a in that minivan every night and order number four. we like to say we are revolutionaries. we want more choice and options and change. but with so much chaos and crisis, everywhere we look at our own southern border and our communities and neighborhoods, at the gas pumps, in the middle east, with iran, with putting in ukraine, people are probably going to retreat to what is most comfortable and familiar.
8:08 am
go-tos -- what does that mean? it means. to trump has an enormous advantage against joe biden on the handling of the issues. and their no questions i love the most, and we should keep our eye on, are those that mimic the questions we ask ourselves. while we are filling out that ballot and mailing it in or going to the ballot box. who has helped or hurt my family? who has a vision for the future. who has the energy and acuity to do the job? having said that, president weld needs to do better among what is called the double haters. in 2016, the campaign iran, if you look at the one fifth of voters who did not care for either hillary clinton or donald trump necessarily, he beat her by 40 points in wisconsin, by 20 points in michigan. this time, they are kind of -- and biden beat him in that group. and it all depends on what you dislike each of them. if he disliked joe biden you think he has dementia or he doesn't have the energy for the job or you are mad about afghanistan or inflation or anything else, if you don't like trump's tone or you do not like
8:09 am
trump's tweets or his truth social, watch him. watch him last night. watch him in south carolina where he does not mention haley's name. in the fox news poll that was released over the weekend, among independent voters, harris, they told fox news posters that 20% of them think joe biden has succeeded. 75% independence said they think joe biden is does has mostly failed. there's an opening for nikki haley and donald trump to come together. the burden is on her, though, to come to the republican nominee. i hope this was not just a gap year for her between all these highly paid speeches and corporate board ships. i hope she is serious about beating joe biden and getting the republicans back. she is a close personal friend or was of jared and yvonne, ' is. it would be great if some kind of peace could be brokered here and she could come back and endorsed the man that she endorsed as u.n. ambassador. >> harris: you had are always
8:10 am
breaking stuff that we have not thought of yet or thought much about until you say it and what you're saying is, is she going to set up the race with trouble? is she going to go back and then finally indoors and i know you believe it will happen. that double haters think that io that. an easy win for president biden yesterday. put more evidence of what could be a problem in the general election. the uncommitted or no preference protest over his handling of the hamas of the israel/hamas war, those nonbinding votes spiking from 2020 in the seven states where they were on the ballot, in minnesota, nearly 20% of the vote. north carolina, more than 10% of the vote. we saw, kellyanne, it would have been in michigan, over 100,000 people voted uncommitted. now, different situations across the country. i don't think this is being talked about enough. it is not just the arab american muslim for. it is not just anti-israel, why are you supporting israel and
8:11 am
not fighting for people in gaza, all that work that is a very angry field. but it is a primary. when that could stick this electric vehicles and all the pressure that they put on automakers in the state of michigan. >> kellyanne: they did, and they literally have nothing for to show for it. i think joe biden -- >> harris: because people don't want them to. >> kellyanne: they don't want to them and it was a big part of not just the build back better nonsense but also the" inflation reduction act." and he still talks about it. they are still focus on electric vehicles. they don't realize that unless people see the fruits of your decisions, where you are spending money that we as a nation don't have and we don't quite need, if people don't see the bridges repaired the rows running properly, the electric vehicles that everyone wants, car rental cancel the whole fleet of it. people -- this is not affordable for the average person. plus, people don't want the hassle. but they went so far into this and if you have pete buttegieg who is the secretary of transportation having those watching air traffic control
8:12 am
shut down and leading it so far into electric vehicles, people think you have misaligned priorities. i think trump won the which in , the first republican to do it since 1988, it can do it again. and gretchen whitmer last year one by double digits. >> harris: kellyanne conway, i love it when you come in. thank you so very much for being a focus. the georgia district attorney prosecuting donald trump is back in the spotlight. is where we started this hour. it is what we are watching. the georgia state senate is holding a hearing on fani willis' affair with the prosecutor she hired. her favorite guy, nathan wade. a judge is deciding if she should be kicked off the case or both of them for that matter and what does happen to the case? we will bring you highlights as we get them. plus, critics are going after democrats' response to the u.s. supreme court decision that colorado cannot kick donald trump of a valid. specifically the primary ballot.
8:13 am
>> the idea that a state could unilaterally disenfranchise millions of voters across the country, removing from the pallet the choice of candidate from individual people just defies democracy and yet the reaction is troubling. >> harris: so that was about states doing it and the ruling from the high court was unanimous. they spoke with one voice, 9-0. no. you can't do that. however, some house democrats now are pushing to make it out of the federal level, can you take donald trump's name's name off the ballot? they want to push something else. former u.s. attorney brett tolman in focus next. my psoriasis was all over. then psoriatic arthritis. who knew they could be connected? for me, cosentyx works on both. cosentyx helps real people find clear skin. and in psoriatic arthritis, can mean less joint pain, and help stop further joint damage. serious allergic reactions, severe skin reactions that look like eczema,

8:19 am
>> harris: right now, fani willis and her infamous love affair are the focus of a georgia state senate special committee. state senators are digging into willis' possible misconduct and her prosecution of president donald trump in the state election interference case. they are talking with ashleigh merchant, who represents all of the codefendants of donald trump. she is the one that popped the top of this whole case and now she is going before the committee. let's watch it live. >> verify what you were claiming had happened. >> i did not want to say one word that had not been verified. >> so his divorce attorney and probably knew as well as anyone in the state. >> ashleigh: they had been best friends. >> let's pull these up. when did you start? you kept these text messages somehow? >> ashleigh: i did. i actually -- mr. bradley uses an android, i believe and so it was not easy to just download them and i'm not the most tech
8:20 am
savvy person. i also, there's a lot of texts that i just wanted to things that i do not think those are thought would just embarrass people and will not relevant. so i screenshot of the texts that i thought were relevant. i tried to use those in courts, but the prosecutor said i was hiding things. so they just kept on and on for days saying i was hiding things and explain to them, let them look through my phone. asa colbert, all of my tax. it was adam abadie was the prosecutor. so he just kept saying, that i was -- where is the beginning of the text? where is the thing after that. these are not complete, you know, just kept objecting and i had just screenshot in the text that i thought were highly relevant but were not for interest, i guess, i don't even know the word. but there were some that, like, you know, that miss willis' daughter had found out. they were ugly. they did not need to be admitted. >> oh, yeah, i had read that.
8:21 am
>> ashleigh: so i had tried very hard to just screenshot the relevant ones but they kept saying that i was hiding things. so when they objected they said they wanted the whole text chain and the judge ordered me, if i was going to admit of the text, to go figure out a way to download all of those. so i bought a program for 20, 30 bucks and took three hours and it was -- i was very proud of myself for finally figuring out how to do it but i was able to make a copy of it and then react our phone numbers. so this actually showed, like, when they are red, when they are reviewed. >> so i jen fritz, you were asking -- read the question. >> ashleigh: so i'm asking him, do you think it started before she hired him? >> you are talking about the affair, and what is his response? >> ashleigh: his response was absolutely. and so these are things that he had told me but i was getting ready to file my filing deadline was the eighth and as we are
8:22 am
doing this, you know, i'm fact-checking line by line basically. >> and it did you send him a copy of your proposed motion? >> ashleigh: i did. so at the hearing that i had, i was able to admit the e-mail where i sent him that. i sent him a copy of the motion that weekend when i wanted him to review it and that he had a tax. he did not write me back by e-mail but i submitted my e-mail so that you, -- so that the court can see exactly when i said it, when he responded and then he responded that everything looked good because i said, i'm sending you this motion. i need you to look at it and then he responded that everything looked good. he actually told me at first he wanted me to make some changes because i had not included the information about how much money he had received. i had only included information about how much wade had received and i did not know that it was really highly relevant to my emotions. but he was like, okay that is going to tipped them off that i'm talking to you and i don't want -- he did not want anybody
8:23 am
to know that he was talking. he was very concerned about what -- >> i will let you just read this. we left off up there. absolutely it began before -- it began when she was a judge in south fulton. when was she a judge in south fulton? >> ashleigh: she became a judge in august of 2019. and i did not coach did an open records. i first did an open records. >> harris: that they are going back and forth. that was interesting. we got to see how the original text messages between the divorce attorney for nathan wade and also his former law business partner was texting with this attorney for trump codefendant, ashleigh merchant. and so now that we get to see when they were open, but they the league they were set, i mean, it is all out there and easy to understand. senior correspondent jonathan serrie is at the georgia state capitol in atlanta. he has been watching as we have been and monitoring since the
8:24 am
hearing began. jonathan, what can you tell us that specifically stands out at this point to you? >> reporter: yeah, overall, the senate committee hearing is learning more details about what defense attorney ashleigh merchant says. she was able to learn about the romantic relationship between district attorney fani willis and nathan wade. her special prosecutor in the georgia election interference case. let's listen to some highlights. >> he said that -- he was very specific that it was before she became the a because that was one of the things that he could not remember it went to the judicial conference was but he knew that it was before she became the it. he told me they met at hotels. he would go to her place and i remember him saying, you need to find her, her bestie, who they had a falling out. that is the person whose condo was that they would meet at.
8:25 am
>> reporter: ashleigh merchant is an attorney representing former trump campaign aide right moment. roman who was a codefendant had filed a motion with merchant to have d.a. willis removed from the case. a judge is expected to rule on that by mid march but now, the committee chairman today asked merchant whether she had reason to believe that willis or nathan wade were coordinating with the biden white house over the course of the trip investigation. listen. >> open records for the white house access and we have records that miss willis and the mayor of atlanta were at those meeting with the vice president. >> reporter: fani willis and nathan would have testified that they did not become romantically involved until after she hired him to help investigate the trump case in november of 2021. but as you heard from ashleigh merchant's testimony earlier
8:26 am
today, the defense is alleging that the romance started much earlier than that. >> harris: so jonathan, i just want to get this straight because i have a former u.s. attorney coming up next. what was the deal with the meeting at the white house? did you say to vice president, kamala harris? >> reporter: said that several people were meeting at the white house. of course, the nature of that meeting was not expressed. it could have been some democratic event or a social event. >> harris: but who was in . >> these quick. >> reporter: but the implication was allegedly there may have been some coordination with this case. but they don't have any hard evidence of that at this point because the receipts and this is something that ashleigh merchant pointed out that nathan wade submitted are very vague. they just mentioned that he met with white house counsel or met with white house. but it does not go into any detail as to what the meetings where. >> harris: okay. i got it.
8:27 am
thank you, thank you, jonathan serrie, great reporting. brett tolman, former u.s. attorney and former senate judiciary committee counsel. i do want to drill down just a second on the white house meeting and how that comes into play. is that purely politics, or as a former u.s. attorney, is it something that you look at as misinformation, or what? >> brett: bro, i would tell you i think you are right to be asking questions about it and here is what the public needs to understand. there's really no circumstance for the white house counsel or anyone in the white house to go anywhere near this if they are -- if their goal is to make sure that it is an objective review of potential criminal activity of an opponent, of a political opponent. if, however, you are coordinating and you are wanting to take down a political opponent, that is temptation that the white house, i think, probably gave into, was to have conversations and looked at the
8:28 am
four different criminal cases, all of them have access and we are learning that most of them at this point have had conversations with the white house, just prior to charges being brought. that is not coincidence. that is coordination. >> harris: yeah. alright, i wanted to hit that because that seems to be a bigger issue now that we are hearing about it in a different venue. the state, senate committee special committee hearing. and now you get into what you just pointed out, two men battling it out and it takes you back to what donald trump said days ago when his u.s. supreme court victory happened, 9-0, you can't keep his name off the balance, no state can do that. what he said was stop using your high-power, president biden, of the doj and let's fight this out between the two of us. it is very interesting to that in the context of, with mason willis, with fani willis, excuse me, nathan wade and fani willis, was anybody on that
8:29 am
prosecutorial team particularly those two lovers talking with anybody at the white house? so it is interesting. i will continue to ask the question. all right, were critical to your top line about what is coming out today and when they met and what matters. >> brett: well, i think there's folks that have been saying for some time now, what is the big deal? you know? so what? so they have an affair? does that really impact the underlying criminal investigation? here is why it does. you have a legitimate inquiry into the ethics of the sitting d.a. you have to know whether or not there's a compromise to those ethics because that brings into question her prosecutorial discretion, whether she was capable of exercising it appropriately. then when she lies about their affair, now you have a bigger issue. now you have potential obstruction of justice. right now, what should be
8:30 am
happening in the next few weeks, you should have a criminal investigation open for obstruction of justice and ethics investigation for lawyers who are willing to lie in the courtroom. >> harris: brett tolman, always great to have you. thank you very much for handling the breaking news. well, what will we learn about the border and the nation's other crises at tomorrow night. state of the union address. >> i think what you will see massive effort to shift blame. that is what joe biden seems to be doing most of the time, blaming other people for his own failures. >> harris: the stakes are very high for the president kohou also faces growing concerns about according to voters, his age and mental filters. congressmen michael mccaul next. i have active psoriatic arthritis. but with skyrizi to treat my skin and joints, i'm feeling this moment. along with clearer skin skyrizi helps me move with less joint pain, stiffness, swelling, and fatigue. and is just 4 doses a year after 2 starter doses. serious allergic reactions

8:37 am
another tragedy like lincoln riley's murder. republicans are changing joe biden to other his name at the state of the union address but the white house looks like it is dodging. >> i do want to always acknowledge and extend our deepest condolences to the family and to her friends and the people who loved her. i don't have anything to share about the president's speech as it relates to that particular question that you have. but we wanted to always be sure that we lift up the families who have lost their loved ones in that way. >> harris: if the president. state of the union address will be the -- politico is billing it as a serious high-stakes. the biden team seems to be hoping that the speech will neutralize concerns about his mental fitness. however, our own fox family thinks that is a pretty big ask. >> i have always thought that the eight and a community issue was a ticking time bomb. one of the challenges on
8:38 am
thursday night, i think, is, whether he can assuage the concerns of those even within his own party who think and say that he is too old for the job. >> harris: republic in congressman michael mccaul chairs the foreign affairs committee. great to have you in focus. tomorrow night, does the president need to say the name of lincoln riley? >> congressman mccaul: he should. he should hit this head on. it was interesting what happened. came in illegally, got arrested. several times and then raped and killed this beautiful 22-year-old girl, lincoln riley. but i don't think he will, harris. he is going to want to stay away from that. he will probably talk about the border. he has to. and if he fails to address that, he is completely absent, a wall,
8:39 am
from the american crisis that is happening right now. >> harris: you know the suspect that you mentioned in the lincoln riley murder has something in common with many that we are seeing right now in terms of violent crime and it is the border as the central park, the illegal crossing, breaking our solvent law, committing a crime just to get into the country. i don't think, though, the president will go there. i think he will tout his recent visit to brownsville, which was fairly empty at the time. but since we learned days before he is visited. someone on the terrorist watch list had just crossed at that point. i don't remember hearing that reported to the news. >> congressman mccaul: no. >> harris: no. >> congressman mccaul: he went to brownsville. i live in texas, right? i was the chair of homeland security. i have been down there so many times. brownsville is not the hotspot at there's a reason why biden went there. there's no crisis in brownsville. it is more in eagle pass and the
8:40 am
treadmills coming in through arizona and, you know, you are right. 300 people on the terror watch list and we don't even know who they are. as your prior guest talked about the ticking time bombs. i want to know, tell me about the aliens. i want to know who they are, where they are coming from so we can protect the homeland. >> harris: and when. >> harris: and when you want to know that before you take the president there. i understand that the numbers have come down primarily i would say from all the governor of your estate is doing. the containers, the large containers, the razor wire. now they are poking at other areas. texas is saying, no, and pushing back and so now the cartels, traffic and other areas. i get that. but the terrorists don't care. they keep coming. i guess they are willing to crawl through the razor wire. but to take a president there, who are you taking tomorrow night to the state of the union?
8:41 am
>> congressman mccaul: i'm taking kristi shamlian, whose daughter, nicole, she was killed by a suicide bomber in afghanistan. as you know, i am conducting a thorough investigation as to what happened in afghanistan and i will have the former chairman of the joint chiefs, general milley and the centcom commander jalen mckenzie testified before my committee this month. we want to get to the bottom of what happened. what happened. we want to know why the suicide bomber got there and killed 13 servicemen and women and 140 afghans on that fateful day. it is a very emotional issue, i can assure you. >> harris: well, as far as politics go, do you wish that this president could bring that up, too? because that was the first time that the nation saw his foreign policy mail miserably and end
8:42 am

>> somebody the other day said to me, you know, joe biden is old. i said, you know what? joe biden is old. let's go ahead and accept the reality. joe biden is old. so really, pick between your two old ones and figure out how you're going to save our democracy. >> harris: meanwhile, team biden is reportedly looking to shift its strategy to fight growing age concerns after another awkward exchange with reporters. that happened yesterday. let's watch. >> president biden: i better ♪ the questions or i will get in trouble. [overlapping speakers] >> thank you. thank you. >> harris: wow, it looked like the camera -- he was not moving. axios reports president biden is privately pushing for a more aggressive approach by going for donald trump's jugular. a new york times headline says m-8 age concerns the white house

8:51 am
watch. the electorate is not happy. they are terp the press. 72% of voters believe the country is headed in the wrong direction. i don't know if you just be joe, if you can find that. >> richard: well, alyssa good now that we know that this is going to be a definite rematch between presi biden and former president trump, it really will be which one do you like, which one do you like most? right? and after watching the pres president, the former president except his speech after winning a lot of super tuesday states, and also looking at our own fox news -- 59% of nikki haley voters would not vote for the president. the former president if they had the opportunity. this tells me that this is -- it is going to be, campaigns the best going into the next eight months. >> harris: it is an interesting number and i don't know if you got to watch kellyanne conway. she led as of this hour. the number is the number was taken a couple of weeks ago and
8:52 am
those people may come home and vote. as often even people on your side of the aisle, they come home to the candidate because they are democrats. people do that because they are conservatives. so we will see how many of those votes. we also don't know what nikki haley is going to do. if she endorses trump, that changes the game in that sense. can we do the "sesame street" thing really quickly. so the white house came up with this idea because it is doing everything it can to convince voters that the steep prices that we are all feeling are the fault of corporations and not inflation that this president has had at historical levels during his presidency. president biden actually reference a "sesame street" character who has a complaint about translation. let's watch. >> president biden: some of the small snack companies, you won't even notice what they are doing. when they charge you just as much for the same size bag of potato chips except there's a whole lot fewer chips.

8:54 am
pivotal issue. richard quest. >> richard: i think this is the problem that the biden campaign has. all the economic indicators, we see inflation going down but all that is true what is also true is that the american consumer is not feeling it. just this week, the president announced that he would put out an executive action to decrease the cost of eight fees -- late fees for credit cards. i think there needs to be more of the four of the white house but there needs to be realization that they are not feeling the good economic indicators happening. the dow is up almost 200 points. so it is really important that the president sort of bills this bridge to what is happening in the economy to help folks are feeling and he has the next eight months to do it. >> harris: just called him. [laughter] just call him up. >> richard: i will call him up. we can three way call him if you want. >> harris: you know i have a lot to say and ask. jason. >> jason: with the fundamental
8:55 am
problem with what richard said is that inflation is not coming down. the rate of increase is not going up as much. but it went up and it is going up more. >> harris: yup. >> jason: that is the problem. so the real income to people's wallace, they understand shrinkflation and they blame joe biden and they realize that life is more expensive in everything they do and companies have to make a profit in order to stay in business and hire the people they need to be out of there. >> harris: hold up. >> jason: manage those companies and everything else, we got a problem. >> harris: what is interesting is you are talking about the price of everything being higher, even the stuff that is not in a package. so you can really use the cookie monster's shrinkflation argument. all right, great to see you both. thank you. love that.
