last week. the cashier says she's scared to return to the store, but has no choice. no one ever attacked me like that, i need money, i need my job, i don't know what else i can do. the suspects are still on the loose this morning. jurors in the trial of alex murdaugh are set to visit the scene where paul and maggie were killed. prosecutors resting their case yesterday after calling six witnesses, including a -- ree reenactment. murdaugh former law partner taking the stand as witness for the state. listen. >> you are not angry with alex murdaugh? >> i have had anger with him, extreme anger, because of what he did to my law firm, my

partners, my clients, his clients, our clients, what he did to his family. you are dead wrong if you think i've come in here and told this jury something because of money when talking about two people who were brutally murdered, you are headed in the wrong direction. >> todd: court is expected to resume 11 a.m. today. >> ashley: judge delaying the judge for marilyn mosby after mosby's entire defense team quit. court documents reveal lead defense attorney quit last month after the judge scolded him for using profanity and disclosing juror responses in an interview outside the courthouse. mosby claimed financial hardship from the pandemic to withdraw from her retirement account. she used the money to make down payments on two vacation homes, she failed to disclose

information in mortgage application. the trial is slated to start this november. and it really was a heart-breaking hearing on the hill. mom lost her two sons to fentanyl begs the government to do something. >> todd: her dramatic plea next. >> you're welcoming drug dealers across our border. you're giving them protection, you're not protecting our children. this is a war. act like it. do something. your car insurance, so you only pay for what you need. with the money we saved, we thought we'd try electric unicycles. whoa! careful, babe! saving was definitely easier. hey babe, i think i got it! it's actually... whooooa! ok, show-off! help! oh! only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪

>> ashley: the gop led house homeland security holding first border hearing on cost on migrant and fentanyl crisis. >> it is consequence of our broken legal immigration system. if people have a legal opportunity to come to this country, then they do not choose the illegal option. >> nauseating to listen to this, disconnected from reality. wine about broken immigration system, we're the most generous, compassionate wealthy western nation in the world for immigration. our border is wide open and out of control and americans are dying because of it. >> ashley: michigan mother breaking down in tears as she

tells lawmakers about the day her two sons died from an accidental fentanyl overdose. >> law enforcement made it clear to me that this fentanyl came from mexico. i didn't know what fentanyl was. i didn't know what narcan was, i didn't know people were dying, i didn't know my boys were taking anything that could kill them. they didn't think they were either, but the government knew. the government has known for years and years and you talk about children being taken away from their parents. my person were taken away from me. this should not be politicized, this was not an overdose, this was murder. this is a war, act like it. do something. >> ashley: so tough to hear her testimony, but just last year 50 million fentanyl pills were seized at the southern border.

>> todd: cannot imagine being that mother and the pain. chicago lori lightfoot on her way out of the mayor's office after losing the election last night and conceding before 10 p.m. >> ashley: brooke singman has the latest. >> brooke: lori lightfoot is first chicago mayor in 40 years to lose their re-election bid. now will advance to a runoff on april 4th. none of the candidates received majority of the vote. lori lightfoot came in third with dismal 17% and conceded late last night. listen to this. >> we fought the right fight and put the city on a better path. we worked together to remove record number of guns off streets, reduce homicides and started making real progress on public safety. in the end, you don't win every battle, but you never regret taking on the powerful and bringing in the light.

>> brooke: with lori lightfoot set to leave office, the two candidates heading into the run-off are promising a safer future for the crime-ridden city. >> we will have a safe chicago, we will make chicago the safest city in america. >> no matter where you live, no matter what you look like, you deserve to have a better, stronger, safer chicago. >> brooke: chicago crime went up at rates not seen in decades under lightfoot's leadership. murder is up 59%, robberies spiked by 27%, theft surged by 31% and motor vehicle theft skyrocketed by 270%. over first three weeks of 2023, chicago crime rate was up 61% from the same time period last year. that figure puts the city on paris to surpass the 2022 of 66,000 violent crimes. lori lightfoot was criticized

for social media post in which she was seen singing and dancing. chicago recorded highest murder total in 25 years in 2021 with 800 homicides. >> todd: people were fed up. thank you. chicago resident sam sanchez and chairman of the illinois restaurant association join me now. diana, your reaction to the results? >> good morning, todd. i am not surprised, but i couldn't be more happy to have somebody in there that actually take seriously. we have two different approaches now of the two guys having the runoff. one is very much police protection and support the police and the other is more of defund the police and self-rule. so we'll see how it turns out, i'm glad the city spoke out and said no more lori lightfoot.

>> todd: sam, the remaining two candidates in the race, you are not out of the woods with brandon johnson, he is in aun areoff with paul vallas, far left and defund the police. if he is elected, would it be lightfoot's second term? >> we are pushing for paul vallas. johnson, defund the police, we're concerned that either one become mayor have no control over the justice system in the county and cook county is the worst run county in the state of illinois. the prosecutor and judges have to be replaced in the next election. >> to follow-up, if vallas, wins are you confident chicago will become safer?

>> if vallas wins, he's headed in the right direction. he's surrounded himself by people who have been in government. with mayor daly, the city was doing great and look forward to work with him. >> todd: okay, diana, this was annihilation, 83% of voters said we do not want lori lightfoot when you add totals and see where she landed there, not a lot of support. is this a mandate against woke mayors like lori lightfoot and the harm they are causing blue cities like chicago? >> i believe it is. i believe people have just had enough, my message has been go out and change regime change is only way to fix this. i think this was a loud and clear message that this woke agenda is not working for

chicago. >> todd: recent poll shows 61% of chicago residents disapproved of lori lightfoot performance as mayor. do you know one single person that voted for lightfoot and if so what was their reasoning? >> actually i do not know a single person who voted for lori lightfoot, especially after i got mugged in january or december in k one of the nicest neighborhoods in the city. it happened 11:00 in the morning. something has to change. >> todd: sam, do you know one single person in last night's election that voted for lori lightfoot? if so, why? >> i do. i do, not one, but a lot of people. she had an agenda on the area with the culture center and school and educational programs, i can understand that sense going and taking care of areas that have been ignored for a

long time. >> todd: you are a conduit to the business community, will businesses come back to chicago, allowing you to get the tax dollar base and run programs involving police of ro officers, making residents feel safe? final word, sam? >> crime is reduced from a year ago. there is new investment, 400 new companies coming into the city, 1800 new food vendor license applied last summer, we're headed in the right direction. the idea of coming to a city and being afraid should not be the reason you don't come in. we have to address the prosecution and accountability of the crime. >> todd: chicago a once great city, hopefully it will be again, because it is an awesome place. best 've luck, congrates on your

new change in the mayoral seat. thank you. get this, speaking of mayors, tough word for me to say this morning. mayor of washington, d.c. might be elected with votes from illegal immigrants, thanks to a new bill passed by the city council. >> ashley: cheryl casone is here with all the details, don't go anywhere. my active psoriatic arthritis can slow me down. now, skyrizi helps me get going by treating my skin and joints. along with significantly clearer skin, skyrizi helps me move with less joint pain, stiffness, swelling, and fatigue. and skyrizi is just 4 doses a year after two starter doses. skyrizi attaches to and reduces a source of excess inflammation that can lead to skin and joint symptoms. with skyrizi, 90% clearer skin and less joint pain is possible. serious allergic reactions and an increased risk of infections

(uplifting music) >> janice: good morning, everyone. did you get snow yesterday? >> todd: yes. >> janice: todd said yes, so did ashley. the forecast was correct for new england. in new york city, we didn't get snow totals we were expecting, but yes, over a footer. the footer club in northern new york up toward maine. we got over 12 inches, i thought

the forecast was correct. in new york city, we didn't get anything, i had to apologize to my kids. over the next couple of days, next round will bring potential for volatile weather across the southern plains. march storm, it is march 1 today, yes indeed, severe threat for texas up toward the tennessee river valley toward ohio river valley and tomorrow we actually have a significant risk meaning all the ingredients come together for tornados, could have life-threatening weather happening on thursday for texas, oklahoma, arkansas, louisiana, across the mississippi river valley, heavy rainfall will be a big risk as the storm system moves northward across the great lakes and mixture of that into saturday, measurable snow north and west of new york. there is snow potential for

plain states up toward the upper midwest and that bullseye of snow for upstate new york and new england. we'll continue to track this area of low pressure, i know todd and ashley are like what are my snow totals, we'll keep you updated on that. future track moving west, very active. active pattern with snow across the mountains of california and toward the southwest and rain for some areas saturated so flash flooding is a risk here. the reason we will see severe threat is because we have incredible warmth across the south, the southeast toward the ohio valley, potential records in ohio, west virginia, north carolina, spring-like pattern here, still cold across the west and northern section, warm and that is why we are worried about severe weather risk and chance of snow for friday and saturday. >> ashley: how much snow are we talking here? >> janice: kind of the same

deal, new york city will not get much, but north, you will have to plow. sorry. >> todd: ohio congressman johnson calling for president biden to visit the site of the toxic train derailment in ohio. johnson tweeting, i have a message for president biden, it is past time to make the transcript to east palestine. transportation secretary rebuttal says the president stopping by would have disruptive effects on the clean-up process and eric holcomb is -- the materials should go to the nearest facility, not move from far eastern side of ohio to far western side of indiana. i want to know what precautions will be taken in the transport of the material. >> todd: alaska passing the

willow oil project which would create understand thises of jobs. alaskan workers want joe biden to make good on the promise and support the project. listen. >> we as native people, we as democrats are very much in favor of what is going on with this willow project. >> as we look to not only affect the pocketbook of our constituents locally, just making it more affordable toip >> the lights on in your home and heat your home, that is what this project represents. >> todd: the project would generate 8 million for alaska, the. >> ashley: homeless and low income residents would receive $1000 for two years and that payout could add up as portland hits new eyes. in 2022, there are 5200

homeless. damion bunting is a portland resident and joins me now. thank you for being with us. when i heard this story this morning, it shocked me, when you think, $1000 is $200 a week, this is not enough to get homeless people off the street, but it is enough to get them deeper into drug or alcohol addiction, what do you think? >> this amount of money is in conjunction with the ebt program and other services that go out. most people experiencing homelessness are receiving about $1700 a month, as it is, this would be a windfall for that demographic. >> ashley: so $1000 on top of the $1700 they are getting? >> absolutely. >> ashley: do you think this is a good idea? >> i do not, i am not in favor

at all. right now the numbers are probably lower, the estimate is little over $6000 for the homeless population in portland, oregon. my bigger issue and concern is a lotment for the $1000, who it will go to and who it will exclude, it is looking to go to people who identify as black, indigenous or pacific, people over a certain age and people . i think the median income in oregon is $60,000. it will go to people who make 60% lower than that. >> ashley: i can see if someone is working and need that money, this could help them. you have the flip side, we have seen the drug addicts and alcoholism thatun ares rampant through the homeless community, where do you think this money will be coming from?

will it come from portland taxpayers? >> definitely coming from the taxpayers, from the research i did before coming onto the show, looks like it is coming from the department of homeless services here. the people living here that are actually doing their best to go to work and follow the social contract, were continually being taxed and do not have access to police, fire, rescue, things like that. this past weekend, we had a huge snow storm and people were stranded on the highway because the infrastructure of having the streets salted, fell by the waste side. we're seeing situation where legislators focus on one demographic, the homelessness and leaving everyone out. people going to work and doing their best to make ends meet, we could use the $1000, as well.

>> ashley: you wonder why am i paying taxes if this is not going for what i do. this $1000 in conjunction with the 1700 given now with no questions asked, why in the world would they make this part of this law? basically you can do whatever you want, don't you think there should be oversight? >> i believe there definitely needs to be oversight, there are organizations looking into auditing this and different organizations benefiting from it. i look forward to seeing the results down the line. we are falling further into a situation where this is becoming destination for people who want to live in this type of environment and situation. i'm empathetic and sympathetic to anyone experiencing homelessness or houselessness,

but this is drawing people into overly taxed and overly situation where we can't afford to have more people like this, as it is. >> ashley: everyone feels for anyone in that situation, there is a way to solve it, i am not sure this will solve it. damian bunting, thank you for being with us this morning. biden's energy department and the head of the fbi all say the pandemic likely started from a chinese lab election. >> todd: one guy, dr. fauci, did not get that memo yet. >> do you think we will ever know how the pandemic originated? >> might not, we may never know, it is unfortunate, that is possibility we would never know. >> todd: that was not from 2021, that was from monday. we'll hear from joe concha.

>> ashley: washington, d.c. next lawmakers can be decided by noncitizens, thanks to the city council which just passed bill giving illegal immigrants and foreign diplomats the right to vote in local elections. >> todd: that sounds great, cheryl casone here with more,

not just china, this is a slippery slope. >> cheryl: think of the international students in washington. bill passed by dc city council will allow illegal immigrants, staffs of foreign embassies to vote. any adult with 30 days of residency can cast ballots. this is an attack on foundation of this republic, only americans should have the power to influence local policy and guide taxpayer dollars. you spoke with two legal immigrants last hour. >> if we start giving the right to vote to noncitizens, we're basically disenfranchising american citizens and legalizing foreign interference in our elections. >> are they saying that folks that are here that don't care for united states should be able to vote and change the law of

the land? i don't think so. >> cheryl: because this is dc bill, subject to review by congress, which is different than other cities. tom cotton and ted cruz said they would block this. >> todd: they can pull funding from this and prevent this, looks like they will, do you get the sense it won't be reality? >> cheryl: i do get the sense, legal implication and messing with federal election law. something similar was passed here, these illegal immigrants had to have right to work visas in new york, but it was squashed in new york city. >> ashley: it is not fair to people who have come here legally, gone through the channels, it doesn't make sense. >> cheryl: think about it, somebody from russia comes over and work at the embassy 30 days,

they can vote. do you really want that? >> todd: states will be like, we should do this, this is anti-constitutional. >> ashley: talk about the house voting on biden esg investment. >> cheryl: out of dc this morning, house voted toil can the biden administration esg, seeks to encourage private plans in the portfolio picks. department of labor rule between republicans say is basically woke ideology, the vote was 216 to 204. the president does plan to veto it. the white house says the president will deliver for american workers, if the president were presented with it, he would veto it. several states are suing the biden administration. this is 150,000 americans and their private retirement plans.

esg, some companies embrace it because of social governance. i don't want to make my investment based on climate policy. i don't agree with esg, i have had this debate with friends and family. >> todd: the issue, pro-people say it will be pro-profits, let's not put the cart before the horse, not necessarily true. ccp intimidation tactics on full display with the richest man in the world? >> cheryl: who has a lot to lose. global times run by the chinese government, ran this headline. musk, are you smashing china's pot? like are you biting the hand that feeds you, more english of that. musk responded about the comment about covid come from a wuhan.

musk replays he did it via pass-through company eco-health, they got 8 million to study bat viruses inn china. musk has a large factory in -- attempt by the ccp and the government to say, to censure elon musk. tesla has had struggles since he took over twitter, that is a whole other story. >> todd: how many examples do you need china plays dirty? wake up. >> cheryl: all about the mighty dollar with china and that whole russia connection comes down to dollar. >> todd: and decoupling because of that connection. thank you. it appears likely supreme court could sink the student loan hand out. here is how randi weingarten

feels about that. >> that is not right. that is not fair. that is what we are fighting, as well, when we say cancel student debt. >> ashley: not fair? we will see how joe concha feels about it, we'll ask him next. >> todd: maybe he will yell like that. ♪ wondering what actually goes into your multivitamin? at new chapter, its' innovation, organic ingredients, and fermentation. fermentation? yes. formulated to help you body really truly absorb the natural goodness. new chapter. wellness, well done. i'm jonathan lawson here to tell you about life insurance through the colonial penn program.

wuhan, you are talking about a potential election from chinese controlled lab that killed millions ofern ms. >> ashley: your reaction to all of that? fauci achristopher wray. >> joe: i felt like i was in may of 2020, doing the interview from home, fitting given the optics. dr. fauci likely known this for sometime, but dismissed it because funding nih was something he advocated and was behind. turning point for some, at least me, with dr. fauci, strong advocate of lockdowns and masking, remember he attended the first major league baseball game, yankees and nationals in washington and there is infamous photo of him with two people in

the stand, smiling, laughing and not wearing a mask. when he was confronted, he didn't just admit, i shouldn't have done that, it was a bad example. he said, i was just taking a sip of water, that is misleading and mostern americans said, come on, you are not a hypocrite, too, saw it happen over and over again. most americans looked at this and said of course this virus the world has never seen came from a lab. it happened in wuhan, that is home of the wuhan institute of virology, it is located in wuhan that created this and sars escaped at least three times from be las studying in china before, so there is a precedent here. several workers from the wuhan lab got sick in 2019 at the onset of the pandemic and had to

to go to the hospital. late night including stephen colbert said it couldn't have come from a lab, it came from a bat in a wet market and that is not true based on basic logic. >> todd: dr. fauci will never admit he is wrong and that is sad for our country. supreme court hearing arguments on joe biden's $400 student loan bail out, here is how the head of the second largest teachers union feels about it. >> this is what pisses me off, during the pandemic we understood small businesses were hurting and we helped them and it didn't go to the supreme court to challenge it. big business was hurting and we helped them and it didn't go to the supreme court to challenge it. when it is about our students, they challenge it? >> todd: that is i rich, joe,

randi weingarten fighting for students, she took two years when she didn't do that. what is your reaction? >> joe: mike pompeo said randi weingarten was the most dangerous person in the world, we have putin, xi jinping, meghan markle and prince harry, most dangerous in the country? as parent who saw my young kids ineffective remote learning, learning on ipads and being in of course masks after the data and science said schools were safe, randi weingarten is in the top four seed of dangerous. she sounds like howard dean meets rashida tlaib. insane. student loan forgiveness is a

complete sham, an effort to buy votes. nearly 50% of loans go to pursuing graduate degrees, the people are doctors and lawyers. my wife is a doctor, spent 10 years paying you hava medical school loans and her retroactive check is not coming. student loan forgiveness will drive up tuition. many people don't need it and it makes college option for people who are in upper middle class. take a bow, randi weingarten. >> todd: when you don't have facts, you scream. not just covid origin, prime-time hearing on other major threats posed by china. >> do you think that china poses a greater threat to our freedom and the world's freedom than the

soviet union ever did? >> congressman, yes, i do. >> todd: one of the biggest questions of the day from think can congressm carlos gimenez, e joins us. >> coming up on "fox and friends," voters in chicago sending a message after failing to re-elect lori lightfoot as mayor. what is next for windy city? and jurors for the alex murdaugh trial will visit the crime scene. how this could shape the case moving forward and a brand-new air quality report out of east palestine, ohio, not good as another train goes off the tracks. clay travis, douglas murray, mark whitman join us and wokeness to inject into math class, how does it add up? nobody knows.

that is coming up on "fox and friends." . .

stooded to house lawmakers putting china in spotlight with a blockbuster in "primetime." >> general, do you think that china poses a greater threat to our freedom and the world's freedom than the soviet union ever did? >> congressman, yes, i do. you know, the scale of what they're doing from an economic perspective and from an espionage perspective, i think, is unprecedented. >> ashley: you just heard him ask that question florida congressman carlos gimenez joins us now. it's pretty frightening to hear that simple answer of just "yes." tell us what else you learned in this hearing and talk about the timing of this. did you move the needle the way you wanted to eyeballs on this story? i think we did. i have got to thank our chairman

mike gallagher tremendous job to serve on the task force. i'm proud to serve on the task force. i think this committee is probably the most important committee or one of the most important committees of this particular congress. we need to wake the world up to what the threat of the communist chinese party and the threat that it poses to us not only in the united states but to freedom around the world. it was a great opening act and we have a lot more work to do in the years ahead. >> todd: your questioning during that testimony was important. chinese human rights activist her testimony also hit home. listen. >> we need to face the fact that we have helped to feed the baby dragon of the ccp since the 1990s u.s. companies have enriched themselves by exploiting cheap labor in china and have in the process also enriched the ccp. >> todd: c congressman, have

rereached a point where hearings like that will lead to action and not just words going forward? >> we have to. if we want to survive as a free nation. if we want to protect the world world domination by the chinese communist party which is their aim by 2029 they want to be the world's dominant economy and power so they can impose their will on the rest of the world we need to wake up right now. make sure allies have woken up and also all of the countries that are now dealing with china. and their practices and so, yeah, again, it was a good opening act, but we need to follow through. the good thing about it is you know, i'm hearing from my colleagues across the aisle they are saying they are talking the same language. america, wake up. we need to stop funding the instrument of our demise and destruction. stop feeding this dragon that eventually will gobble us up. and if we don't stop the practices now, than we may find

that it's too late. >> todd: comforting that folks on the other side of the aisle are apparently on board. let's see some action. today marks 20 years since the department of homeland security dhs opened its doors currently being run by alejandro mayorkas you are still waiting on him to provide answers to the border crisis. questions lining what are these migrants doing. are they getting taxpayer dollars to live here. does ccp know where they are. how's come the head of dhs still can't answer those questions. >> it's funny, he actually told me a month ago he had all the answers to all my questions in a private meeting i had with him. i challenged him two days later okay you said you have the answers, give them to me. it's all in writing. i give him a tweak give me the answers which he said he had. i'm still waiting and i don't think i'm going to get those answers. i really asked him hey, how many illegal migrants that you encountered at the border over 4.5 million. how many are still here? how many did you deport?

how much assistance are you giving them? how much is it costing the american taxpayer, the ones that got away, hey, have you caught any? none of that he hasn't answered any of those questions so far. >> ashley: these could have been yes or no and followed by a number. that would have been okay for you. congressman carlos gimenez, thank you for being with us. with that, "fox & friends" starts right now. have a good day. >> we put this city on a better path. >> chicago mayor lori lightfoot is out. >> in the four years since she was elected, murders spiking by 59%. >> bending the knee to the ccp. >> a newly formed house committee on china wrapped up its first hearing. >> our policy over the next 10 years will set the stage for the next 100. >> day number 26. >> the jury in the alec murdaugh murder trial will soon get a firsthand look at the crime scene. >> it will be beneficial to be able to observe the scene that everyone has been talking about. >> supreme court could sink jo
