charlie:is the:00 hour of "fox and friends" we can, new details emerging in the death of jean hackman and his wife. shocking new details. rachel: the president promising to end the war on crypto and push the american economy into the digital age. >> we want the dollar to rule and this is how you start, the regulatory environment will change on policy. charlie:calls are growing to sunset daylight savings time. senator rick scott wants to rock the clocks once and for all. he will join us live. the third hour of "fox and friends" weekend starts now. ♪ will: we were talking about whether we would have the

freedom to get a motorcycle if we wanted to. 's it really your life, maybe it is a money thing or my wife and mother in law, not so keen on a motorcycle. rachel: in the free state of florida where you don't have to wear a helmet would you wear a helmet? will: i would because i don't trust myself. we are going to pass that out and do some work in the plasma so we will see but -- charlie:you reach a point you want to have a motorcycle but there comes the point you have kids but don't get to do anything like that and can't do it again until you get rid of all your kids and there's a big gap so in the next ten years i will get a motorcycle. larra:breaking news. charlie:donald trump threatening to end the war on crypto.

dana marie mcnichol joins us from west palm beach. >> reporter: good morning to you all in new york, donald trump called bitcoin the digital goals. before flying to florida yesterday he met with crypto leaders promising to rollback regulations. >> last year i promised to make america the bitcoin superpower of the world, the crypto capital of the planet and we take historic action to deliver that promise, my administration is working to end of federal bureaucracy's war on crypto which was going on wildly until the election came about. >> reporter: for years industry leaders have looked for clarity on crypto regulation. it included coin base, crack and, robin hood, paradigm and ripple. trump's executive order says the treasury and commerce secretary will come up with strategies for more bitcoin

provided these are budget neutral and do not impose incremental costs on us taxpayers. >> trump is creating assets for the american people call, most past presidents created debt and a large part of this asset program can be in digital assets. we are going to end the regulatory weaponization against digital assets. >> reporter: before the summit the president signed an executive order establishing government reserve of bitcoin. david sachs said the us government sold bitcoin over the last decade that could be worth $17 billion. now the president is looking to congress to provide regulatory frameworks, he said he hopes lawmakers legislation related to this on the his desk by summer. going back to the strategic reserve of bitcoin, that will

be backed by crypto currency the government sees from criminals, turning that into assets. brian: thank you for that. you talked to kevin o'leary last hour and he was trying to focus us on the most important pieces of this. he had a different thought on what he thought was most important about this. listen to it. >> the most important part of this whole announcement was signaling the regulatory environment will change on all things crypto. the last administration, the way policy was administered was through the nation, trying to interpret existing laws and new technologies of bitcoin and all the other technologies of crypto and it was a mayor of lawsuits. what we are really talking about and the president's signaling is let's bring people

who develop these technologies back to the united states. we chased enough through litigation. he is signaling come home, let's develop digital payment systems like we talked about digitizing the american dollar because that's a great idea. it is a signal and it is powerful. brian: even if you are not interested in crypto the what kevin is saying is the way the sec was regulating these assets, we will sue you and you will find out why what you are doing is wrong and once you settle that everyone else will know what to do are not to do which is a fundamentally bad way to run anything including a potentially valuable financial asset. charlie:that lack of clarity led to problems. we are in day 45 of the new administration. two months ago it was like we went back 100 years in time, the previous administration is

like this antique administration that had no concept of this thriving stuff going on around the world and just like that like the lights come on and and administration is taking this seriously and wants to regulate it in a way that makes sense. larra:this is how we will be operating in the future and something governor leary said that was interesting, talking about the strength of the american dollar, talking about forming their own currency and the importance of us doing this now, this bitcoin reserve, the whole thing is so important because it strengthens the dollar, great move for the united states of america and to your point it is amazing the change in such a short time. brian: no one bothered to give us any thought, you don't even need to take oppose edition how much you like crypto, just it

is a major thing and whatever reserves we had, a massive loss, nobody had -- let's think wisely about this? larra:people in the crypto community said they felt the biden administration was actively working against them and now donald trump is saying we are going to embrace this for the future of america. charlie:that is not the only -- amazing the things the trump administration is flipping the light switch on, they are going after these universities over anti-semitic campus protests applying back $400 million in grants and contracts from columbia university over recent protests.

a statement on x from the secretary of education says universities must comply with all federal anti-disco nation laws if they are going to receive federal funding, for too long columbia abandoned that obligation to jewish student studying on campus, we demonstrate to columbia and other universities that we will not tolerate their appalling in action any longer. we had leo terrell talking about this. >> i'm going to visit 13 schools with an army of lawyers, army of fbi agents, army of individuals from hhs, education deportment, linda mcmahon and the department of justice telling his these universities clean up your act now immediately and if we have to get court orders we are going to do it because what is happening right now is illegal, jewish american students because they are jewish-american, because they are jews are being denied the

opportunity to go to school. that is un-american and it is going to stop. i can't say it enough. what you saw with the withdrawing, the cancellation of $400 million is only the beginning. charlie:this was going on for two years under the current administration. brian: you were a pastry chef back in the day. i taught at a university and i think of this from the perspective of being a professor on this campus. it would be almost impossible to truly run a class and teach in an environment and a lot of these professors are left to stand like it but for someone interested in educating this is completely antithetical to education. the only thing that works is you forgot to sue people when they break the law and that is what the trump administration is doing, we won't of taxpayer money, it's billions to these guys, we won't give you that

for what is happening on campus and if you're breaking the law we are going to sue you for it. that creates the possibility for return to education. larra:it has been a free-for-all in so many areas of our lives, this one in particular people were shocked we were in 2023-2024 and the united states of america, anti-semitism was allowed to exist in this way, like no one was willing to do anything about it. charlie:these universities have billion dollar endowment and there's no bigger player as you point out in funding these universities than federal government. columbia university spokesperson issued a statement that we are reviewing the announcement from federal agencies and pledged to work with the federal government and

restore funding to understand how serious this announcement is combating anti-semitism for the safety and well-being of students, faculty and staff, shouldn't have to have the federal government come and make threats. brian: it should be flipped, we are committed to that and we will talk about the money but they talk about the money first. charlie charlie: stunning details on the death of jean hackman and his wife. brian: investigators reveal the actor died of heart disease roughly one week after his wife died from a rare virus spread by rodents. shanley painter is here with speculation. >> reporter: jean hackman and his wife died of natural causes. investigators finding 95-year-old hackman died of heart disease with all libraries as a significant contributing factor. his wife, betsy, likely died a week earlier due to hantavirus

pulmonary syndrome, a rare but potentially fatal disease that spreads from animals to humans by contract with infected rodent droppings. there is no specific treatment or cure and a deadly lung infection can rapidly progress. >> it is reasonable to conclude that mr. hackman died around february 18th. based on the circumstances, it is reasonable to conclude that miss hackman passed away first, with february 11th being the last time she was known to be alive. >> reporter: the oscar winning actor and his wife of 30 years were found dead in their santa fe home late last month was one of their three dogs was also found dead. hackman's pacemaker showed its last activity on february 17th, nine days before he and his wife's bodies were discovered, police launched an investigation due to this position is nature of their deaths and were able to rule

out carbon monoxide poisoning within a couple days but due to the, quote, very poor state of hackman's health investigators believe he may not have been aware his wife had passed away. >> the question is was he aware that miss hackman had died? i think that question is difficult to answer but i can tell you he was in an advanced state of alzheimer's and it is possible he was not aware she was deceased. >> reporter: authorities have not determined what caused the death of one of the dogs in the home. charlie: a tough story, reminder how tragic alzheimer's is. can you imagine? brian: let's turn to some headlines, iran is dismissing the prospect of nuclear negotiations with the united states while sanctions on the country remain in place, donald trump is pushing for a new agreement to keep turnaround from obtaining nuclear weapons hinting that he expect results

very soon. >> that's going to be the next thing, what happens with iran? there will be interesting days ahead. we are down to final strokes with iran. that will be an interesting time and we will see what happens but we are down to the final moments. we are at the final moments. can't let them have a nuclear weapon. brian: don't miss donald trump's exclusive interview on sunday morning futures tomorrow at 10 am eastern after "fox and friends". the largest military base in the us is rededicated to its original name, fort bragg. charlie is pumping his fist. it is in honor of world war ii hero roland bragg. >> fort bragg is a place ordinary people transform into heroes, ordinary people like private first class roland bragg. >> they looked for a man of

good character and found my dad. brian: the renaming comes after pete hegseth signed an order to reinstate the bragg name which was briefly changed for liberty after 2023 after a drive to remove all references to the confederacy. charlie: nobody called it for liberty. brian: some couples are paying to have artificial intelligence, chat gpt has saved their relationships. one pair said they pay $20 a month on the premium package which has been helping them settle disputes for the past six months. they say, quote, therapy is expensive and sometimes you need a neutral third-party to tell you who is in the same. chat gpt is the least judgmental option. you know what?

it probably is the cheapest and least judgmental. is there a world in which it could work for you and your healthy marriage? charlie: if you have to turn to the computer to work out your relationship you probably shouldn't be in a relationship. brian: that might be the sign that it is over. no coupling for you. lara: the ai stuff stresses me out. we were talking of our phones go down we are done, can't get anywhere, spelling, if this is the way we are going we won't deal with our own relationships anymore. brian: i am a cheapskate. i am open minded. if ai could pull some brilliance out, we both read it and that's right.

lara: do you take that seriously? a suggestion for your relationship? may maybe people do, we will see. brian: i'm ready to try for 20 bucks. this is why your marriage is healthy and i'm working on mine. don't forget to watch my view tonight on fox. larra sits down with vivek ramaswamy who opened up about leaving dogeach a run for governor of ohio. >> i was grateful to get donald trump's and endorsement and the line's endorsement. we've been friends for years. the fact is every one of us has to look ourselves in the mirror and say where will we have our biggest impact so my plan had always been to run for governor. one of the ways donald trump is going to be successful is to take a lot of programs that should never have been in washington dc and take them to the states, that's the great first step to saving the country but a second step is involved too which it requires strong governors who share the

same outlook to do the right thing with each of those programs from education to health care. the center of gravity if it is saving the country will move from the federal government where donald trump is doing an outstanding job right now back down to the states and to the people where it belonged is. lara: he talks about making the rest about the platinum belt, that his plan if he's the next governor of ohio. we sat down with byron donalds who is running for the governor of florida and we have these big midterm elections coming up and it is not just about congress, they are hugely important to people around the country. we sat down with vivek ramaswamy and byron and sean duffy. there have been a lot of aviation issues and incidents. he talks about the need to

update so much in the faa and all of aviation. 9:00 pm tonight. charlie: you will be up all night and all day. we have a fox news alert. one police officer is dead and another fighting for his life after a shootout in the streets of newark, new jersey. those details next.

brian: we are back with a fox news alert out of new jersey, one police officer is dead, another is fighting for his life after a shootout in newark. multiple suspects are in custody. joining us is the founder of blue lives a matter nyc. take us into the latest of what you know and what you are seeing here. >> the new york police department, these officers were there for an investigation. a young individual did encounter them and opened fire. the officer was very well respected, dedicating his life to the city of newark, the gun that was recovered with individuals last night, looks

like it could be something, in a situation like this the investigation is ongoing and the officers want to do the job right. brian: it is one of these very sober reminders of what every police officer across the country takes upon him or herself every day they go out on the front line. you look what happened here, you lamented but are we putting lisa officers in a position to do their job with confidence, how do you feel about that? >> police officers have a disadvantage, legislatures have put roadblocks in the way of our cops. they have to start being proactive in regards to helping our police officers. the number one goal is to protect the public but without protecting our cops and putting them in harms way and having officers like this individual ahead of it, there is not going to be a bad experience,

something has to change and going back to donald trump's speech we wholeheartedly need to have that deterrent of having a death penalty for anybody that goes out and kills a police officer. brian: we are learning a lot of details but a shootout fast food restaurant. is there anything about the circumstance that tells you we haven't made the progress we need to make, how potential criminals are thinking about law enforcement and their ability to get away with things, the brazenness of what they do. >> the rumor is 14-year-old is responsible for this, what 14-year-old is thinking about having an illegal firearm let alone shooting at a police officer? right there, something is wrong and obviously the laws and the rules on the books are not enough for some to say i should not do this because i will throw my life away. if they think they can get away with killing a police officer.

brian: the tone is changing with donald trump and it is filtering out but so much more work to do. we appreciate your perspective on a tough situation. thank you. coming up next, employees caught leaking information about ice raids to migrants, putting law enforcement at risk. senator rick scott reacts. plus. could daylight savings time finally be gone for good? the latest push to end the controversial clock change. f. whatever you need you guys give me a call! ...to saving up... ...to income in retirement. you got this. vanguard fixed income funds can help advisors grow their clients' savings. vanguard. fifty years of high quality investments. there are many ways to do things. at old dominion freight line, we do them this way. this way has people who start early. people who care

charlie: christie noem taking action after identifying two internal leakers within the agency. >> we have identified two leakers of information at the department of homeland security who have been telling individuals about our operations and putting law enforcement lives in jeopardy. we plan to prosecute these individuals and hold them accountable for what they've done. we will do what we can to keep america safe. charlie: florida senator rick scott joins us, thanks for joining us. how important is it that dhs go after, and other agencies, go after these leakers inside federal government agencies that are undermining the administration's effort to make arrests and deport criminal aliens? >> it is very important, common

sense, accountability, transparency, what kristi noem is doing is saying who in their right mind wants to keep criminals in this country and why would somebody tell homeland security want to help criminals that are killing american citizens. we watched laken riley's parents, there has been no accountability, there's going to be accountability across the country. if you are ill legal, you don't have a right to be in this country, you don't have a right, come in here legally. we need to work on it, democrats should help us. traffickers, democrats wanting to defend it, democrats are being known for what the american public don't want.

the american public once transparency and accountability. charlie: if you work for the executive branch thwarting the exact forgive branch efforts you probably should no longer be working for the federal government. in this upside down world where you have people behaving like this you have democrats today weighing the idea of a government shutdown in order to protest the cuts made by doghe. talk about lost in the wilderness. >> everybody comes into my office and asks for more money and here's what i explained to them. we have a 2% increase in population, 53% increase in spending. we are spending $2 trillion more than we taken. inflation will not go away, interest rates will not come down until we balance the budget and so much waste,

showing this massive, what the american public is seeing, the average person says don't spend my money like this. i would not spend my money like this. i asked two people, i have to go back and explain, what does a citizen of florida get for this foreign aid. they could not explain what an american system gets out, that is the problem we've got. the government is unexplainable now. charlie: people are plotting what they see in the executive branch but what they do in your end, what are you looking at on congressional standpoint to buttress these cuts and make

them permanent? >> number one, we've got to balance the budget. number 2, everything elon musk and his team find, we have to take a rescission package and pass it to spending so we 've got the opportunity this coming week if we don't come up with a continuing resolution we will have a government shutdown. on friday i know democrats say they want a government shutdown. i don't want to government shutdown. i want accountability. i want a balanced budget. i balanced the budget in florida, florida had not balanced its budget, most don't balance their budget but keep their own money like the federal government. i balanced it every year and did what elon musk is doing. we went line by line like you do with your credit card, look through and say i didn't spend this. anybody does it.

charlie: one final thing, you are on the cutting edge of ending daylight savings time forever. so why do we need to lock the clocks and end daylight savings time? >> in florida we like our sunshine. we love playing sports, and going back and forth, they are tired of it. when i was governor i passed a bill that if the federal government is going to see as a federal bill, on sale light savings time, donald trump has been supportive of locking the clock and i think we can get it done quickly. going back and forth every few months. charlie: it is a 50/50 issue, a

wild, a lot of twists and turns and essentially she and her husband made a pact that if one of them she did, they would have to kill either of a spouse or the lover and you were involved in getting a confession from her. take us through the story and how you got that confession. >> reporter: good morning. basically it was obvious from the beginning she was very much in control of everything that was going on. any situation where only one person knows all the details to a crime you have to come up with the plan to get her to tell you and in this case it was the letter. i created a false letter that her husband sent to a friend in the event of his death that basically began the conversations and led to $100 of concessional interview and interrogation.

lara: you were the police chief investigating this case and then things took a turn in your own life with one of the detectives, you're sitting beside a man you fell in love. tell us the story. >> i guess during the amount of time we spent talking about the case, we were both dedicated to solving the case, both cases. we just got to know each other very well without having met each other in person and i fell in love with a person, just an incredible person. lara: a love story to come out of something like this is a happy portion of the things. what can we expect from this special, love you to death:the kelly cochran story? >> important to understand we are in the middle of diving into this thing completely and

we are looking for input from the viewers and this thing is much more than the kelly cochran story. this is about the victims and bringing justice to other families because we know there are other situations going on out there. lara: we like justice when we can get it. thank you, check that out on fox nation. turning to some headlines, you got them for us. charlie: an arson arrest in south carolina in connection with a massive wildfire that has been burning near myrtle beach for over a week. officials say this 40-year-old woman started the fire in a backyard burn pit right near the tree line. when she failed to take proper precautions to keep it from spreading. so far the wildfire has torn through 2,000 acres. it is only 55% contained.

we lose an hour. one group of people that legitimately cannot like daylight savings time are people who work sunday morning which is all of us. we lose an hour sleep tonight but the benefit is tomorrow night it is going to be light an hour later and that will feel good. that is what is happening. look what happens in the month of march. pick where you are on the map. this is how much daylight you gain in the month of march. a lot of daylight coming now. that means along with that added daylight we will see things warm up and we will experience that on the eastern 2 thirds of the country. big storms come through dallas, weekending a little bit moving towards the red river but we have a lot of snow across the west, month of march, the snowiest month in the city of denver. we do normally get a lot of snow out there but one thing we are getting is some rain yesterday and the last 200 days, phoenix, just over 1/4 of an inch of rain that entire time. friday, yesterday, 0.4 of an inch.
