>> major revelations coming from the white house this weekend with a leaked memo on unmasking details of the biden administration they're climate goals ahead of security. i'm griff jenkins. jacqui: i'm jacqui heinrich. and fossil fuels less to drill would ensure greater energy security. they did not move forward with

the measure. lucas tomlinson is on the lawn of the white house with more on the story. hey, lucas. >> jacqui, many people are wondering if the president is so concerned about the environment why doesn't he want to go to east palestine. the president says he wants to go, but didn't give an exact date. >> i've spoken with every democrat in ohio and in pennsylvania and laid out what i think the answers are and we will be implementing an awful lot into of the legislature h here. >> as you mentioned off the top, jacqui, what some would call a negligent discharge, a memo was accidentally fired off or posted the biden administration looking to increase royal fees off the coast of alaska, despite saying lower fees would help attract investment. the department favored higher fees, it constitutes the

balancing of economic and environmental factors. >> senator joe manchin says he's outraged by the memo and says to fox digital is crystal clear that this administration is putting their radical climate agenda ahead of the needs of the people of alaska and the united states. medical news, president biden, the oldest president had a basal cell cancer off his chest. and it's rarely fatal, but can be locally aggressive and surgery is important and that's exactly what happened last month during the president's physical at walter reed, he had surgery to remove that cancerous lesion. >> and we didn't find out that that lesion was cancerous until the biopsy came back yesterday, so positive news there. lucas tomorrow ltomlinson, thank

you so much. griff: president trump is set to speak at cpac while others are skipping. and in maryland, we can see someone on stage already, hey there, mark. >> griff, we've seen a lot of people come on stage. good afternoon to you. some of the folks, who has not been here, but however, we've seen a stronger turnout today because of the man who is going to be on stage later on this afternoon. that's former president trump. he'll be speaking tonight. this is a trump friendly crowd and one vendor told us that the trump merchandise is selling 50-1 and we're graduate to hear from nikki haley, she had a chance to speak to the crowd yesterday. take a listen. >> if you're tired of losing, put your trust in a new generation, and if you want to win not just as a party, but as a country, then stand with me. i'm here to ask for your vote.

but i want something else even more, i want us to inspire our country again. >> that was haley on the ground here in maryland yesterday. today she is down in florida attending that same club for growth fundraiser that florida governor ron desantis was at on thursday evening and former vice-president mike pence was at. an indication where some of the potential 2024 hopefuls in addition to nikki haley are spending their time, courting some of the donors. a straw poll, all the people in the room have a chance to vote on their phones who they would like to see eventually to become the 2024 republican nominee. one name we're watching is former secretary of state mike pompeo. he spoke to cpac yesterday and encouraged this room not to go down the same path that it's done in years past. >> we can't become the left following celebrity leaders for their identity politics.

those with fragile egos, this is a tough world abroad and here's we and the shift blame. >> pompeo did not say if he's going to run for president, instead it seemed more like he was a trial balloon trying to test the crowd out with some of the speeches out there. so many of these candidates though or potential candidates already making stops in iowa, new hampshire, south carolina, all of those battle ground states, but will be looking to see whether or not trump addresses the race when he comes to cpac later on this evening. 20 bucks says, griff, he absolutely will. griff: i'm not taking that bet and i'm also willing to bet $20 that donald trump wins the famed straw poll at cpac. mark meredith. thank you very much. great coverage. now, jacqui, i've covered cpac many years and its history is so rich. the very first cpac in 1974, then governor ronald reagan put it on the map, talked about why conservativism was a mainstream idea not a fringe group and set

the groundwork for what is modern day conservatives now and gave a speech after his second, his reelection after he had been inaugurated talking about dancing with the one that brung you. this is perhaps the most famous cpac speech ever. >> when you work in the white house, you don't get to see your old friends as much as you'd like and i always see the cpac speech as my opportunity to dance with the one that brung you. griff: famous words. now, obviously, donald trump trying to sort of invoke that and make all of those attendees trump supporters. jacqui: you know, in years past it's been sort after big tent event for the g.o.p. and there's clearly a divide now with club for growth having a duelling high profile g.o.p. event, same weekend, you know, sort of splitting the field of potential 2024 contenders and where they want to go. so, to talk more about this,

joining us now live from cpac is republican congresswoman from tennessee and member of the house energy and commerce commit committee. thank you for joining us. i want your reaction to that memo that was accidentally posted, i think by the department of the interior, showing that the biden administration knew that if they charged less to drill off the coast of alaska, it would increase energy security. they didn't go with it for what reason, do you think? >> well, they have an agenda and that agenda is the green new deal agenda. it doesn't involve oil, it doesn't involve gas, it involves batteries and the things that we depend on from china so that's just it. that's just it. and they don't care about saving money. look at what they've spent, the trillions that they've spent that we're going to have to recover somehow, cut costs and make up for. jacqui: i've got to correct myself. it was a department of energy

rather than the department of the interior. moving on to cpac, you know, this event is pretty sparsely attended this year by members of the house and members of the senate, leadership in the house, notably not there, kevin mccarthy, steve scalise. why do you think that is? >> i don't know. what i'm thinking, they're trying to get everything together so that we can keep our commitment to the american people. you know, it's a job. we have the majority now and we have to work and i'm here and i can do this and, you know, try to do what we've got to do to keep our promises to the american people. we have to focus on that and that may very well be why they aren't here. jacqui: there's also this duelling event, club for growth, showing the divide in the republican party as they try to elect a candidate for 2024, someone to move on from former president trump and some people don't.

why did you choose to go to cpac, will you also be going to club for growth? >> no, i won't be going to club for growth. there is a divide. this is exactly what the democrats and the leftists want. they want a division in the republican party so they can push their agenda right up the middle. you know, what brought us to the party was the american first movement and so, i'm absolutely proud to be here and being able to be on the stage with other speakers and promote what our agenda is and that's our commitment to america. jacqui: but it hasn't just been democrats though, you know, pointing out divisions within the party. it's been republicans, too. there have been some attacks. g.o.p. on g.o.p. attacks coming out of cpac. i know that nikki haley was heckled for instance, last night, after her remarks, saying we love trump, axios is reporting that the former president is going to blast bush republicans in his speech. is that kind 6 divisive rhetoric good for the g.o.p.?

>> well, it's going to alienate and put some people on one side, some on the other. look, the goal is to bring america together, to make it maintain that it's the greatest country the world has ever known. it's like a family, you're always going to have rifts and splits, but in the end we'll come together. doesn't matter who you support in the primary, it's the general that counts and you know, the conservative policies on both sides, i mean, club for growth has their pick and i think it's politically, it's a poor thing to do to have duelling events like this. it shows the division. you know, if you wanted to do something, have them on different weekends, maybe there's an ulterior motive there, but as for me, i'm exactly where i need to be. jacqui: have you decided who you're supporting in 2024? >> well, i mean, you know, president trump's results speak for themselves. whoever it is, we need to have

a strong conservative leader that will push this agenda forward and keep our promises to the american people about stop the needless spending. you know, secure our border. you know, uphold law enforcement, that, you know, we should be involved in our children's education. all of those mantras, that we push for the last two years to get the majority, we need to continue on and work toward that for 2024. >> we're on the ground there and some strategists said perhaps cpac isn't getting the attendance because of running of the conservative union that puts on the event and some say maybe the-- that the allegations are hanging over it. >> if you worry about allegations, nobody would turn

up anywhere, i don't think that's a reason at all. people defend themselves and it's a sad thing to have to defend yourself against allegations that may not be true and it's kind of like going into the jury. they can strike it from the record, but it stays in people's mind, but really, i don't think that's an issue. appreciate you coming on, congresswoman. great to talk to you and hope to see you back soon. diana harshbarger. griff: more on campaign 2024 from the other side of the oil we're joined by democratic congresswoman from pennsylvania. member of house armed services and intelligence community. congresswoman thank you for making time and there's so much i want to dig into with you on china, tik tok and 2024. i want to ask you quickly about what jacqui was talking with your colleague about a new memo leaked from the department of energy, the administration appearing, according to senator joe manchin, that he says shows

the administration putting the climate agenda ahead of the interests of the american people. your reaction? >> i think that the successes of the biden administration and the 117th congress really speak for themselves. we were able to put through a piece of legislation called the inflation reduction act, which i would argue is probably not appropriately named, although it does reduce inflation, but it does have a significant component of it, more than 50% of it that addresses energy security and energy independence and it is an all of the above kind of strategy. so i do think that biden, president biden has made it clear that he's pursuing an all of the above strategy as am i in my district, as you imagine, pennsylvania is a deeply complicated state with relationship to energy. we need to make sure we're moving as aggressively and rapidly as we can toward energy independence and renewable energies at the same time.

griff: congresswoman, let me turn to the administration and china. obviously, clear threats there. we saw secretary blinken over at the g20 with some pretty strong language with respect to what would happen, consequences, he said, if china were to provide russia with weapons on the battlefield with ukraine. your thoughts? >> sure, and this is something that we very much bipartisanally agree on. as you mentioned i serve on the armed services committee as well as intel committee, intelligence committee. china is behaving poorly in the region and it's also behaving possibly poorly across the world in terms of its aspirations, and in terms of destabilizing world peace, as well as peace particularly in the indo-pacific region. i think that we can collectively, bipartisanly recognize that china is an important trade partner, but is also behaving and acting from a military standpoint in a way

that should be concerning to all of us. so i am happy to see that on the committee certainly that i serve on and it's my understanding is the senate side as well, that we're recognizing that and addressing that. griff: are they doing enough? is enough being done, in your opinion, in terms. threat, the tet talk po-- tik tok poses. and i have two daughters, there's a presentation concern and also the spying through that app concern. >> that's real, and we should be concerned about that and i know that it's hard, as you mentioned, with your own children. members of congress are struggling with the same issue. it's an appealing application, but it's also one that's worrisome from a security standpoint and from sharing of our personal data standpoint. and so, if people can find it within themselves to pull themselves away from the app, i would recommend that. i know that here in congress, we're reading about tik tok in a variety of committees of jurisdiction and trying to find

ways that we can move forward. and at a minimum, to ask the members of congress themselves to not participate is something that we're working on, too. griff: and when you say you're working on it, do you predict, are you aware of any sort of fast moving legislation? i mean, i think, when i look at the federal ban across government devices, like your congressional iphone cannot have it on there, so if it's a big enough threat it can't be on government phones, why not on every phone? >> i think that's a reasonable question. i know that there is a new committee that has just been stood up on china and its relationship with the united states and it's possible that that committee would address that issue. i do think that when congress has the will, we have the ability to move quickly and with authority on legislation and so this is going to be one of those things where hopefully both the house and the senate decide collectively and the president moves forward on that as well. if that's, in fact, how we

decide to move forward. griff: well, we look forward to have you back to talk about it at some point. before we run out of time, i have to address the presidential race. obviously, we're covering cpac on the republican side, but on the democrat side, are you supporting president biden for reelection? we can actually show you a poll quickly, fox's latest poll, 53% said they want to see someone else, only 37% for biden. where do you fall? >> so, this is one of those things where, first of all, i think that biden's record stand on its own. i think that he and the congress as i mentioned of the 117th have done some pretty remarkable and historic things, the jobs act. chips and science act, inflation reduction act and i could continue on. so i'm very, very impressed by what it is that we've been able to accomplish both in the house as well as the senate and the white house. i expect that president biden

will run again and i believe as far as i had it, that at this point he is the choice and i look forward to seeing how the rest of this unfolds and how the american people decide. griff: we shall see. that poll, by the way, was democratic primary voters, 53% saying, we shall see. >> thanks for having me. griff: tomorrow on fox news shunned. shannon bream will have mark warner and former secretary of state mike pompeo. check your local listings for time and channel and then on media buzz, howie kurtz diving into the media's limited coverage of the covid lab leak theory throughout the pandemic. that's tomorrow 11 a.m. eastern here on the fox news channel. jacqui: griff, new york city taxpayers are spending close to $5 million a day to house, feed and care for border migrants. accord to go the big apple's emergency management commissioner. details on that coming up next.

>> the crisis at our southern border, proving to have far reaching impacts with new york city officials saying the city spends $5 million a day to feed and house migrants.

we have team, fox team coverage of the latest with matt finn live along the border in mission, texas. let's kick things off with nate foy in new york. hey, nate. >> griff, a staggering amount of money spent on this crisis. the exact price tag is up for debate, but according to a new york post, the city spends $5 million every single day to house and feed migrants. it could be more than that. fox news is waiting to hear back from the city today with the exact numbers, but the post reports the city is housing 30,000 migrants in just under 13,000 households. many of these migrants live in humanitarian relieve centers the city not only paid for the construction on, but the city is on the hook for daily care of migrants. according to a city memo obtained by the new york post, migrant households have a per diem of $364 every single day. that's over $2500 a week, and almost $11,000 every single month.

a big issue here in the city is a perceived lack of help from the state and federal governments. the post reports fema provided $8 million back in december which if you do the math is less than two days' worth of cost. governor kathy hochul's budget $1 million to the crisis and meant to be evenly divided between the city, state and federal governments. and so far the city claims it's not getting enough. and the manager says the city is at the end of resources right now. like i said, we're waiting for confirmation on the exact price tag this morning, but the post reports a spokeswoman for mayor eric adams says if things continue the way they are the city will spend projected $4.2 billion, with a b, on migrants this fiscal year and next, send it back to you. griff: that's a startling price tag. nate foy for you in new york. thank you. jacqui: and the biden administration is struggling to control the flow of migrants

and smugglers pouring over the border. and matt finn is in texas with the latest there. >> hi, jacqui, a delegation of six republican senators from all over the country came here to the southern border, they did an overnight and daytime tour and they're urging the president and border czar, vice-president kamala harris to come down here for more than a few hours. >> people coming to the united states in an orderly, humane and lawful fashion have greatly benefitted our country and we want that to continue. but to surrender control of that migration and the drugs that come along with it to criminal cartels who care nothing about the people. all they want is the money and they don't care whether it's drugs, smuggling people, sex slaves, involuntary servitude, forced working, working of migrants, they don't really care. all they care about is the

money. >> and here at the border, week after week, we see the stunning lengths human smugglers and migrants will go to. including this jaw dropping video, in hidalgo county, a truck marked computer diagnostics, leads dps into high speed chase. it runs into a fence and eight illegals migrants apprehended. here we saw the human encounters plunge from the record high of 300,000 in december to about 150,000 in february, it could be seasonal. but the biden administration has launched that app which allows asylum seekers up to 30,000 to enter the country and proposing a rule that would turn away asylum seekers if they didn't apply for asylum

seekers in the countries they passed through. jacqui: the parole program you're talking about is interesting, it's been maligned by immigration activists saying that, you know, coming up with this rule that you, you know, if you cross illegally you're ineligible flies in the face of what asylum is in this country, but it's also been criticized by people who wanted to see this action saying that, okay, it will hopefully decrease illegal migration coming across the border, but at the same time now if you're ineligible, if you cross illegally, it will increase the number of got-aways. what are you seeing on the ground and what you're hearing from folks working the border on those two points. >> to your point, governor greg abbott says the app is only going to encourage more asylum seekers to come here, maybe you can get in and get in legally. over the past couple months and griff can attest to this, we've seen a slowdown in the larger groups of couple hundred or

thousand plus people especially in the eagle pass area. so, i think the coming months are going to be interesting to see if the numbers continue to dip. if this is not just a seasonal decline, if there's something larger going on here, if the immigration numbers are slowing down or as the weather heats up and the holidays are behind us if the migrant numbers increase, jacqui. jacqui: interesting. matt finn for us. thank you so much. next hour, former acting secretary of homeland security jack wolf is joining us, stay tuned for that interview. griff: jacqui, alex murdaugh is now in a prison at the capitol of columbia after spending a second night as a convicted murderer. you're looking there at his newest mugshot. we've got a lot more after this. walgreens is all about making life easier. i can help set that up right now for you. i'll be honest, there are days i forget what she's supposed to be taking.

waiting to find out which penitentiary he'll be calling home, this after receiving two consecutive life sentences for the murder of his wife and son friday. charles watson joins us with the latest, hey, charles. >> good afternoon, griff. alex murdaugh is now booked into the kirkland reception and evaluation center, a maximum security center that houses some of the most dangerous and violent criminals across the state. murdaugh is now considered one of them and sporting a new look these days. take a look at the new mug shot released by the department of connections the 54-year-old's head is shaved, which we're told is normal procedure at this particular facility and he's dressed in a sort of mustard colored jump suit. he'll spend days at kirkland and it will run tests and assess murdaugh's mental health

and education before determining which penitentiary it will assign him to. this is what he has to look forward to in his new life after a jury quickly found him guilty of murdering both his wife maggie and their son paul on the property in 2021. . on friday during sentencing, the judge calmly laid into murdaugh, describing him as a deceitful person from the start to the very end. >> when i lied, i continued to l lie. >> and the question is, when will it end? >> i respect this court, but i'm innocent. i would never under any circumstances hurt my wife maggie and i would never under any circumstances hurt my son paw paw. >> and murdaugh's attorneys will appeal the conviction saying their client never had a chance after the judge allowed the financial crimes in as evidence, but at least one juror tells abc news that the

video evidence of murdaugh at the crime scene moments before the murders is what convinced them of his guilt. >> 45 minutes for you guys to come to a decision. >> probably about that, 45, maybe an hour. >> that's really fast. >> well, evidence was clear. >> yeah, and of course, murdaugh is facing 99 additional charges related to those financial crimes, it will be interesting, griff, to see if those cases even make it to trial. >> yeah, it certainly doesn't look like things are actually over yet for him. we shall find out. charles watson, thank you very much. you know, jacqui, that sound bite that was in charles' reporting, great reporting by charles, by the way, with this judge, clifton newman. i have never seen that in greta van susteren and i covered so many trials casy anthony and i was the first reporter down on

this case, but that judge when he calmly laid into murdaugh about his sort of lying and continued lying, a great phrase from the trial that the judge pulled out. listen. >> what tangled web we weave. what did you mean by that? >> meant when i lied, i continued to lie. >> and the question is, when will it end? >> and that juror, mr. moyer, clearly made it clear, evident, that that jury did not buy the lying that murdaugh was on the stand. for the all the time it's likely to be a hung jury and this conviction wasn't a sure thing. it did not end up that way. didn't take them long and the judge also seems to have his thoughts on it, too. and play the sound bite and get your reaction to that one. i'm sure they'll come and visit you, i'm sure. >> all day and every night.

>> i'm sure. and they will continue to do so. jacqui: he's talking about the souls of his wife and son haunting him. griff: laying a guilt trip on him and you talk about the speed with which that verdict came back, less than three hours, is really telling because that juror that spoke to abc said that they arrived at unanimous guilt decision about 45 minutes and thought about it an hour and a half and yeah, let's go with it. but clearly, taking the stand did not go in murdaugh's favor in this case. jacqui: there's probably not much that could have saved him from the outcome of this one. or at least saved him from some time behind bars with the other stuff that he's facing. pretty clear he's going to have an inmate number forever. all right, moving on now. despite aggressive action from the federal reserve, inflation continues to weigh heavily on americans and the u.s. labor market does remain strong, but

it's concerned-- it's concerned many, rather, that even these higher interest rates may be on the horizon for quite some time and inflation is going to stick around. joining me now is madison venture's plus principal and university school of business research fellow, mitch roschelle. thank you for coming on. we don't have february's numbers yet even though it's march so we'll have to rely on the latest data from january, but i want to ask you, you know, we've sort of been in this posture from the fed for a while, inflation doesn't seem to be going anywhere, but we have the other indicators of resilience. so, are you at all concerned that the fed's soft landing is maybe not as possible as we once thought it was? >> jacqui, i think we never thought the soft landing was going to be possible and we all thought that the recession was right around the corner, but the recession hasn't started yet and the economy still seems

to chug along, thot notwithstanding the last month's or january's jobs report was more than half a million jobs created which has, you know, every economist shaking their head and the fed, too. i think they're shaking their head. so, i think they're going to continue to have to keep their fat on the accelerator, raising interest rates, with the hope that they can slow down the economy without, you know, a crash landing. jacqui: well, yeah, to that point though, you know, these rate hikes are going to have to stick around and might have to increase, some are saying. doesn't that increase the chances that we end up in a recession? >> well, that is the goal, believe it or not. the goal of raising interest rates is to, you know, chill demand, it's actually more violent than that, it's called demand destruction, but it hasn't worked yet and what's happening, which keeps me up at night, is the fact that consumers which drive the u.s. economy, not only do they

continue to spend, they continue to borrow money loading up credit card debt and second mortgage debt at higher interest rates to spend, which is confounding. you wouldn't think that that would happen. i think that we're going to continue down the cycle of higher interest rates, but when it ultimately turns, i think it's going to turn a little uglier than we had hoped because i think it's going to be met with layoffs and higher unemployment. >> when you look at the data that we have and the data that we're looking for from february, you know, what concerns you the most? what do you want to see in order to feel comfortable? >> the thing that still bothers me the most about all of this is the fact that the labor force and the fancy word is labor force participation rate, is still lower than it was back in february of 2020, which was three years ago, so, we've lost people in the work force and we will get next week one of the reports that shows that the

number of open jobs out there. if i see the number of open jobs falling and the labor force continuing to shrink, that's going to tell me that the recession may be closer, but if the number of jobs that are open stays the same or goes up, then i've got to shake my head saying i don't get it. why are there all of these open jobs and people not filling them in a time where it's costing us all more money to go to the supermarket and so forth. jacqui: what do you think that americans have to, you know, maybe don't read the inflation data line by line, but certainly, you know, know the difference between paying double for your lunch than you used to a year ago, and not. what should they be paying attention to? how can they set themselves up for some hopefully success, but at least, you know, survival as we head into more of these likely rate hikes? >> you know, jacqui, easier said than done. my armchair advice is, you don't buy it if you can't afford to pay for it in the next 30 days. the problem is, as we look

ahead to the summer and we could have $5 gallon, you know, prices of gasoline again, our electric bills are going to be sky high as we try to air condition our homes. it's easier said than done, but americans are just going to get more and more frustrated with, you know, pinching pennies, which i don't know that there's any alternative because inflation is not going anywhere. jacqui: you're right to point out that the winter presents one challenge, home heating oil and the summer has a set of challenges with air conditioning and electricity costs. mitch rochelle, thank you for coming on. appreciate your time. griff: did you see this? trouble for a superstar college football player many believe could be a number one draft pick. the details next. ♪ i like to move it, move it ♪ ♪ you like to... move it ♪

>> top nfl prospect jalen carter is following misdemeanor charges following a car crash that left two people dead. carter is charged with reckless driving and drag racing. police believe the uga defensive tackle was allegedly drag racing against the other car when the driver lost control and slammed into two poles, killing herself and a passenger. for more on this, attorney mark smith joins us now. the kings college fellow of law. and this is a fascinating case. first, what do you make of this? >> well, this is a terrible tragedy. this is the sort of thing that keeps district attorneys up at night because you don't have an obvious criminal, if you will, right, you're looking into the situation where you had some young people here that allegedly made some mistakes, did some dumb things and tragically people lost their lives. that's terrible, but you don't have a typical criminal case where someone has gone out and

intentionally committed a murder, a bank robber or the like and i think from a district attorney's point of view, again, if there were no deaths involved, griff, as long it's clear that you'd have a traffic ticket situation, but in the context, two people unfortunately passed away and attention focused on it and sometimes the district attorney has to make difficult calls whether to make this a criminal case or a civil suit and lawsuits. griff: there's a picture up there of the two victims that died. chandler lecroy, the woman on the left 24 years old was a recruiting analyst and then offensive lineman devin willock that died. i want to show you some video, mark, that allegedly shows the two vehicles at a stop light in downtown athens. you can see there, the black s.u.v.s leaving a stop light and it's actually in a pretty

busy, actually the heart of downtown athens, i've been there a lot. it's not like a big open road they were going to be speeding racing off. so clearly they were racing, if indeed that's what this shows they were in a very crowded area, presumably a lot of people out celebrating the national championship as well. so, do you think that this, if indeed, these charges against carter are played out, that it will ruin his career as a top nfl prospect? >> well, certainly it is a major negative, again, i'm not an nfl coach making decisions here. but you do have potential problems. for example, if you have a situation where he is convicted and sentenced to a prison sentence, which i'm not necessarily anticipating, but let's assume that occurred, obviously, to the extent he's incarcerated, he would not be able to play football, and the reality is, when you're talking about a professional sports league like the national football league, they're very conscious of their reputation

so you certainly want to be careful from the league's reputational point of view about who plays in the league. again, these are judgment calls that have to be made all the way around. one thing i'd say in mr. carter's sort of case is that of course, the alleged crime here is not a crime, a murder, burglary, an intentional crime. it's a bad decision in terms of judgment that led to tragic results with, you know, his friends being killed here. griff: i want to quickly just show the statement from carter. he says, in the statement, there is no question in my mind that when all of the facts are known that i will be fully exonerated of any criminal wrongdoing. we'll see where it goes. fascinating case. mark smith. thank you for taking time. jacqui: thanks, griff. griff: all right. meanwhile, winter refusing to go away quietly. we'll get a live report from the deadly storm that blanketed millions of americans in the midwest and south with ice and snow next.

>> all right, parts of chicago hit with heavy snow yesterday as a massive winter storm pushes through the midwest and into the northeast region this weekend. fox weather's robert ray is live in chicago with the details and robert, you look a little chilly, but no snow on

the ground there. >> i know. well, it is, it's a little cold. we've got a breeze, but blue skies, you can't ask for more of that as march is coming in like a lion, sort of, maybe a kitty cat here in chicago because the snow really didn't fall here in chi town, but to the south and to the east, take a look at some of this video from northwest indiana yesterday as we thought the system was going to bring snow to chicago so we made the trek east and sure enough five plus inches in that corridor of northwest indiana and way up into michigan, into lansing, and detroit. some of those areas almost a foot, but the roadways yesterday on i-94 west into chicago and the bend here in lake michigan, particularly dangerous as snowplows are out and that heavy wet snow trying to be pushed to the side. there were accidents, but then, yesterday evening we got back to chicago thinking, okay, we're going to see some snow from the system that began all the way in the south. and sure enough, bone dry.

not even the rain was going on. so, back here live, behind me, wrigley field, baseball about to take action here in early april and a lot of folks are out here enjoying this nice weather here as chicago, this year, will probably go down as the top 10 warmest in their 153 years of historical weather data. as temps have been three and a half degrees above average. so that's a good thing. the bad thing, and i know, i hate to report this, but those southern storms, the severe weather that's been part of the snow system, unfortunately, killed 10 people over the course of the past few days and the snow is not done, heading to the northeast and out into the atlantic, jacqui. jacqui: we'll keep it eye on it. thank you so much, robert ray. team coverage in the migrant crisis in the southern border, cost of feeding and housing migrants. more on that at the top of the hour coming up next. felt more energy in just two weeks.
