thank you, bill melugin. >> sandra: fox news contributor bill mcgurn now.hank you for joining us this morning. your reaction to the president apologizing for calling the immigrant who killed laken riley illegal. >> well, first of all i thought tim scott had it right. he is a murderer and to worry about his sensitivities. but in the larger sense, it's very consistent with president biden's pattern. he worries about the politically correct police on the left whether it's israel. in general he will say i support israel but criticize specifics like the battle plan. all the specific criticism. in the border stuff he is blaming republicans and then he doesn't want to say this guy who is a murderer was illegal. that's why he is so underwater. i think no matter what he can do, no matter what senator warnock says, people are going to blame joe biden and the democratic party for what is happening at the border. >> sandra: over the weekend what we heard from pete buttigieg in the president's cabinet defending the dismantling of the trump border policies.

different location for bill melugin. why are you there and good morning to you. >> good morning to you. we're a few hours away from eagle pass as we get ready to ship out for poll ickx the. former president trump in eagle pass yesterday very quickly brought up the murder of laken riley. her funeral is later today. he spoke with her parents and placed the blame for her violent death squarely on the shoulders of president biden after her alleged killer, an illegal alien from venezuela was released into the country. >> what he is doing is unbelievable. joe biden will never say laken riley's name but we'll say it and we will remember. we aren't going to forget her. it has been a horrible story we've lived with for a last few days. >> president trump was at the border getting a briefing from greg abbott, as well as texas national guard representatives and members of texas dps. he went to the epicenter of the border crisis, shelby park, a high-profile area seeing record illegal crossings as of last year. texas came in there, l

back to you. >> thanks, bill melugin in south carolina. so obviously a lot of big money types and donors are looking at nikki haley closely tonight. she's got to grab more than one or two contests and look competitive. that's an uphill battle. the battle for the money after tonight for nikki haley, if there is an after tonight, julia manchester, the hill reporter. what do you think of that? we focus on how much a candidate gets vote-wise. in nikki haley's case, it's the donors that have been pushing her along and providing all the financing, more than the financing that she needs to carry on a very competitive race when it comes to the money side. it's not turning up on the electoral side. what do you think. >> yeah, nikki haley has been fueled by her donors in many ways going back to iowa and new hampshire. in new hampshire that was probably her best showing yet. after south carolina, we saw the koch backed americans for prosperity stopped funding her. her campaign points to fund-raising boons that they have seen throughout this year. the

neil: thank you for that, bill melugin. to eliza collins. i get back to the debate thing with you? that seems increasingly likely. how does that fall out? >> i think that is very likely. i think we saw former president donald trump change the game on debates. now he's saying he wants to debate biden but let's not forget he refused to debate his primary opponent this cycle along with several debates last cycle. i think that the whole game is changing. there's not much in it for either of them, and there's certainly not much in it for either trump or biden to debate robert f. kennedy jr. who they would both like to keep as seen as a long shot candidate which is important to note he is a long shot candidate but in some of the very competitive states where elections aren't decided by just here in arizona where i am it's 10,000 votes, robert f. kennedy jr. could make a difference in whether trump or biden wins. neil: that's very interesting. i raise that issue of the long shot nature of his campaign, and a lot of it had to do, that is with robert

neil: very interesting, bill with. thank you for that. bill melugin.t the read on this politically, the fallout, from two darn good pollsters, lee carter, charlie cooperman. if lee, first of all to you about what donald trump wants to do here to make the election seem inevitable, at least his nomination buoyed by these national polls in the potential general election that has him doing well, up 5 points over joe biden. that it's no longer a risk to vote for him, that, in other words, nikki haley's argument is sort of crashed on that notion. what do you think? >> well, it seems to have. i mean, "the new york times" polling a lot of people have questions about it, but it looks really good for donald trump. and if also in all of the latest polling that focuses on those key swing states, the seven states where this election's going to be decided, donald trump performs really well. he's wrong in saying he's got a good chance at beating joe biden, and that does undermine one of naval nikki haley's biggest -- nikki haley's biggest arguments. neil: you know, c

bill melugin is following her campaign tonight in charleston, south carolina.hey, martha, good evening to you. nikki haley's campaign tells us she is here in the charleston area tonight but is not making any public remarks nor does she have any public events tonight. we're told she is going to have a private watch party with her staff, food, music, and we're told the mood there is, quote: jubilant. so we asked the campaign what are their expectations heading into this super tuesday? they told us to be competitive. we asked well, what does competitive mean? they said it's up for the media to decide that they point out nikki haley has been getting chunks of voters in these early states. they feel there is an appetite for a non-trump vote out there. , however, the bottom line is if she wants to get past donald trump she has got to start winning some states outright. so we asked the campaign are there any states they feel particularly good about tonight on this super tuesday where they feel they have got better chances? they told us kind of wink, wink. take a look

melugin and his team and griff jenkins, and they have done great work down there with huge numbers ofthink, will probably anger people more because you have roughly 100, let's say dozens of people who clearly do not have a right to be in this country, bull rushing actual american officials. texas officials as it turns out being sued by the biden administration, a separate question. but u.s. officials or americans saying you can't come in here right against the border. and those people having no regard for that authority. and pushing past them. shoving them aside and demanding to enter this country in a way that they don't have a right to do. i think many americans will look at that video and having something of a visceral reaction which is why i suspect the biden team is keeping a careful eye on this one because the optics, which they care about so much are terrible for them, worse than usual here. >> yeah. francesca, i know this is the first time you have seen the video, but the issue, obviously, is front and center. and the president has traveled out west. a lot of his speeches deal
